that is that in redistricting the State the
Eighth district will be made up of the
following counties: Madison, Yancey,

why Taxes Should Be Reduced

The comparative statements Of
Government receipts and expendi-
lures for the month OF April and
the ten months OF the fiscal year
constitute a most impressive argu.
ment for the repeal OF the war tax.
The receipts OF S4s,o3o, $40 were
an increase Of So, soo, 900 over the
receipts of April, 1899, and the ex
penditures of S4o,9o3,oa7 repre-
sented a decrease Of S25, 900, 900 as
compared with the same month a
year ago. For the ten months of
the fiscal year the receipts a.e S48,-
100000 in excess OF the same
period for last year, and the dis
bursements are SII9,584,ooo less.
The heavy decrease in expendi-
lures is, Of course, due to the ces
sation Of military operations,
though we are still maintaining a
large army IN the Philippines.
This decrease is proper and to be
expected, but there ought to be a
corresponding falling off in taxa.
ton. There is none. During April
there was an increase in the re-
ceipts from every source. Customs
increased SI,I7o, 900; internal rev.
enue, $1,000. 900, and miscelIan
eous, 5000, 900. The stream Of
money is flowing into the Treasury
at rate that promises to lead to
serious financial disturbances when
the crops begin to move, and the
consequent surplus is a constant
temptation to extravaganza.
There is no excuse for the per
petuation of this embarrassing
state ofafairs. Congress is in ses-
sion, and bill mipht any time

The Administration has to face

one Of the talented instru ctors in
the art OF government whom the
Administration sent to Cuba-and
possibly more than one-has given
the natives some exceedingly fine

Congressman BArthoIdt

has been renominatsd by his party.
This action by his Republican
constituents does not speak well
for their love Of liberty and patri-
otism. He has been a perfect slave
to McKinleYism and the Presi-
dents imperialistic policy. He
has supported the latter's cruel
and despotic policy towards the
Filipinos and he has stood with
the Administration in the shame
full and murderous war waged by
the English upon the Boer Repub-
lies. This representative Of the
Germans oil St. Louis has never
uttered word in behalf of liberty
and republican institutions. He
has not raised his voice in this
Congress for the gallant, God-iear-
ing Beers in their struggle for
liberty.
- He spoke and voted for the in
famous Porto Rican Tariff bill.
No; a single doubtful move made
by the President has failed to re-
ceive his support. He voted for
the Lodge Anti-Immigration bill,
and he helped to saddle the exor.
bItant war tax on beer. by batting
the brewers with the IN per cent
rebate into accepting the tax.
When the bill came up, Mr.. Bar
tholdt, elected by the st. Louis
brewers. actually voted to double
the tax. While casting this vote
he forgot that the consumers and
not the brewers pay the tax. Re-
Gently when the Democratic side
oi the House was agitating the re-
duction Of the Iwar tax Bartholdt
sided with the Republicans in their
refusal to do anything for the con-
sumers.
In spite oi this record, DIR. Pre-
torius in his paper the Weskkche
Post says, "Bartholdt has repre-
sented the interests oil his district
in Congress so zealously and sue
cesslullY that nomination is equiv
alent to a reelection" We can
not understand how our old friend
DIR. Pretorius can consistently ad-
vocate the reelection Of such a
man, when he himself. by cham
pioniug the cause Of the Beers on
the rostrum and with his pen, has
been following a course directly
opposite to Congressman Bar
tholdt's public actions. Can It be

saIisbury's Astonishing Speech.


It is not surprising that Lord
Salisbury's almost panicstricken
speech last Wednesday before the

caused CONSERVATION in England.
His advice to Englishmen to form
rifle clubs ior the defence OF their

great maritime powers OF the past
