The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-01-26

Senator J. j. Crossley of Madison
county is one of the bright young men
of the senate who is attracting atten-
ton. He has introduced a bill for tax
alton of mortgages, which we believe
would be beneficial to the people at
large. 1t is being combatted by some
powerful corporate influences who de-
clare that it is all the same as to
whether the land pays the tax or the
mortgage. The argument is combatted
something on the principle of the pro-
tective tariff argument. We republic
cans claim that after all the foreigner
pays the tax for is, that in order to OBJ.
tain a market the foreigner is forced to
reduce the selling price almost to
point where it was before the tax was

form do not appear In II - adopted by
the convention. One Of them read as fol-
lows:
1--WE reassert the principle, which was
the watchword Of the Republican party
ham Lincoln was the illustrious cham
pion, aud on which he was elected presi-
dent, that Congress has full Legislative
power over territory belonging 90 the
United States, subject only 10 the funda-
mental safeguards Of liberty, justice, and
personal rights"
General Grosvenor says this plank was
favored by Mckinley and agreed upon by
the subcommittee on platform, but was
subsequently "drivelled ont by the New
York driveller who had charge OF that
branch OF the work" The driveller here
alluded TO Is the Hon. Iemuel Ely Quigg.
Mr.. Quigg explains that this plank was
left out after full discussion In the full
committee on the ground that as 1t In
volved question which belonged to the
Supreme Court to settle, IL might en-
barrass the party to adopt 1t. This would
seem to he pretty good reason. Ths
question involved is enc not Of policy.
but OF the correct Interpretation OF the
constitution, and to leave IL TO the Supreme
Court Is to leave 1t just where 1t belongs.
The other plank lsft out or changed so
as to be almost unrecognizable was this:
"Our national defence and naval efii-
cheney require merchant auxiliaries as q
nursery for skilled officers and trained
seamen. For the restoration of merchant
marine, which was our early glory on the
seas, we advocate such legislation as VIII
enable American ships TO again carry our
foreign commerce."
The resolution which was adopted on
this subject roads as follows,
Our present dependence upon forei gn
shipping for nine-tenths OF our forei gn
carrying Is great loss to the industry OF
this country. Ii Is also serious danger
to our trade, for Its sudden withdrawal
| In the event of European war would seri
| ously cripple our expanding foreign COM
merce. The national defence and naval
| efficiency of this country, moreover sup
ply a compelling reason for legislation
which will enable us to recover our for
mer place among the trade carrying fleets
| of the world.
Tbs idea conveyed in this resolution
is much the same as that expressed in the
resolution that General Grosvenor COM
plains was left out.

The favorite of the Democratic editors
of the East for second place ON the Demo
cratic ticket is ex-senator Hill Of New
York. A ticket made up Of Bryan for
the head and Hill for the tail would be
a decidedly homogeneous affair. Bryan
Is q 16 to one silverite, who holds that
still to be one of the most important, II
not the most important, question before
the country. Hill is a gold Democrat who
would relegate Is to one to the rubbish
heap. The New York convention which
was under the domination of Hill refused
to: reaffirin any part of the Chicago oon-
vention, while that Is Bryan's political
bible. Inoongruity has never troubled
the Democracy much, however. Years ago
they nominated Horace Greeley who had
denounced them all his life and the nom
nation of Bryan four years ago In
yolved the surrender OF q good many OF
their fundamental principles.

Mr.. Croker has got home, and his
ieutenants in New York will soon get
their orders and know "where they are
at" Unquestionably the revelations OF
the ice trust almost threw them into a
panic, and they have been longing for the
appearance of the directing head. Croker
announced soon after his arrival that II
changes were necessary in Tammany for
the good Of the organization they would
be made. He also declared that If the
mayor had used his Office to obtain stock
or raise the price of ice. He ought
to be removed. These are omi-
nous words, and bode no good to the
Tammany boodlers who have been guilty
of the hsnious crime of getting found
out. The Boss has little patience with
unskilful boodlers. On general politics
Mr.. Croker did not vouchsafe much. He
did admit, however, that the Republican
ticket was very strong one, though OF
course as a matter of genera lship he pre-
dicted that it would be beaten.

The news from China is SO conflicting
or disbelieve. 1t seems to be fairly well
settled however, that the foreign lega-
lions in Picking have not been burned,
and that the foreigners In that city have
suffered no serious harm. Quite the op-
posite seems to be the case In Tientsin.
Here the foreigners have been besieged
and subjected to severe attacks for sew
eral days past. Just what has happened,
however, is unknown, but, in all proba-
bility, there has been a good deal of loss
of life. An expedition advancing to the
relief OF the besieged was driven back by
the Chinese and failed to reach the city.
Another attempt with a larger forcs was
to be made on Saturday night. The
encouraging things about the situa-
tion are that the powers are all in accord,
and that troops are being rushed forward.
In few days the allied forces will be
strong enough to take Picking and to
relieve Tientsin. With these places in
possession OF the allies the instruction
can soon be put an end to. The subse
queDt problems that will arise will be
difficult and there is strong likelihood of
wide difference among the powers as to
the way In which they shall be solved
just now, however, the pressing ques-
ton is the restoration of order and the
powers are acting in perfect harmony in
regard to that.

No longer ago than Friday Mr.. Bryan
speaking from the platform of railroad
car said,
'Some say the silver issue, as other Is
sues have come up. should be dropped
Because new child is born, do not be-
lieve the other children should be
neglected"
That certainly does not disclose any
intention on Mr.. Bryan's part TO DROP
silver. Indeed Bryan could not DROP
silver without dropping out himself, fol
ID would be confession that his whole
campaign of 1896 was founded on hum
bug. If silver was necessary then for the
salvation of the country 1t is necessary
now. 10 say that 1t Is not necessary now,
or to give tacit assent to the gold standard,
is to declare practically that the basis Of
this campaign of 1896 was delusion. TIC

Affairs In China have for the past week
thrown the war In South Africa CON-
pleteIy in the shade. The reports from
that quarter have been meagre and what
there have been have attracted little at
tention. 1t would seem that General
Botha's army was in desperate straits,
being partly surrounded and likely to be
cut off altogether. Botha, himself,
realizes his situation and is anxious to
surrender, but President Kruger wants tc
fight on. 1t Is clear enough that to fight
on is simply TO sacrifice much life and
property without any possible gain to the
Beers.

INFECTED HOUSES BURNED.
DIR. Lucas and DR.. MCMILLAN return
From Edgecombe Where they ha1seo
the Smallpox Quarantine.

DIR. Lucas, superintendent OF healtn
for Fender county, and DR.. w. D. Nc
MILAN. superintendent of health for
Wilmington and New Hanover, re-
turned yesterday from Edgecombe,
Fender county, where they went TO
raise the quarantine which was estab-
lished there some weeks ago on &C
count of the case of smallpox diScov-
cred there in the person of a negro who
came from Norfolk, several other ne
groes having since that time fallen
victims of the disease while in Quaran-
tine. 1t will be remembered that Dr.
Mcmillan has at the request or Dr.
Lucas repeatedly visited the scene or
the infection and advised with DIR.
Lucas in the treatment of the cases
and the maintenance of the quaran-
tines, DR.. Lucas having had no expe-
rience in such matters.
On yesterday all the people under
quarantine were discharged and the
two log houses in which the smallpox
cases were confined were burned for
the reason hal it was not believed
that it was possible to properly fumi-
gate the houses in their dilapidated
condition, so that it was deemed best
and safest to destroy the buildings
DR.. Lucas is to be congratulated upon
the admirable in which he
handled the smallpox outbreak in Pen
der. The location was such as to es-
pecially expose Wilmington to the con-
tagion, and DR.. Lucas is entitled to
the gratitude of the people of not only
Pender county, but of New Hanover
and Wilmington, as well, for the
| prompt and successful n in
which he stamped out the disease.
There is not a case of smallpox now
in either New or Pendel
counties.
