HIGHPRICE OFPAPER.
TARIFF TAX ON WOOD PULP A
COSTLY ONE.
May Compel Subscribers to Pay More
for Their Country Newspaper - The
Cry for Its instant Repeal Is Very
Loud-Paper Trust Robbery.

There are very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should be re-
pealed, and there is no reason IN the
Interest of American industry that
pleads for the continuance OF these
taxes. They are now simply an ele-
rnent of robbery under color OF law
and they should be sffaced frorN our
statutes.
The paper trust is now taxing the
newspaper and book publishers OF the
country many millions, not because OF
any such actual increase in the cost oil
producing paper. but because the trust
has the power to extort from the pur-
schasers of paper up to the extent that
would make tariff-taxed foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
manded here. This trust has played Its
scheme OF extortion TO the uttermost'
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American IN
-Ilustry and that has become only an
agent to rob the consumers.
Two-thirds Of the wood pulp used In
the manufacture of paper for American
consumption should come from Can
ada. but Il is excluded by tariff tax,
and we are now rushing headlong In
fhe destruction of our forests, While
Canada, with its almost llmitiess sup
ply OF timber, cannot reach our mar
kets because of the tax imposed by
the tarln.
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
first. that the paper trust should be
at once halted in its rapid destruction
of our American forests by the admis-
sion of free wood pulp from Canada;
and. second, that the present extoTlon
practiced by the paper trust upon pub
fishers Of newspapers and books shall
cease to have the protection OF the gov
,aernment
The time has come when any trust
fhat makes arbitrary profits by tarin
duties must cease to be protected by
ahe government. Where American in
4siustry needs protection II is reason
able 10 permit IL but where alleged
protection is used only for systematic
robbery, 1t must be oyerthrown.
We can now manufacture paper as
acheaply as any country in the world
There is no excuse whatever for tax
upon the manufactured articles, and
the raw material should be free, not
only because the general principle Is
correct, but because II 1t shall not be
done promptly our forests viii be prae-
tically destroyed within a few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber OF
Canada from our markets
Paper and pulp must be made free
of all taxes as the paper trust has dem
'onstrated that these taxes serve only
single purpose-that is TO invite rob-
berry under color OF law.-Phladelphia

VALUABLE OLD STAMPS.
Auction Sale of Hunter Collection
Some of the Rare Stamps
1t Includes.

An auction sale of old stamps, the
collection of William Hunter, was held
the other night at Assembly hall of the
United Charities building, New York.
The collection consists of 1891 stamps,
and constitutes the finest lot of postage
stamps ever offered at public sale. It is
estimated that the amount realized
from the sale will exceed $4,000.
Stamps were sold from eight cents to
$3.50 each. DR.. w. C. Bowers purchased
Baltimore postmaster's stamp at $3.50.
The most valuable lot in the collec-
ton is that marked No. 1893, a two-cent
british Guiana stamp of 1850, which
was bought some years ago at the De
Coppet sale for $1,01O. Another rare lot
is, No. 1o6, postmaster's stamp of Brat
tlehoro Of the issue Of 1s4S.
There are a number of Hawaiian
s rs which are exceedingly rare.
'!N"n of these, Nos. 2,109 and 2,110, re-
'',ve)y, Of the issue of 1s51-'52, will
"'.'s bring big prices.
Almost every country, state or city

Jacob Henze and Henry Kaiser, who
were convicted of the murder of Ed
win E. Brown in st. Louis in March.
1898, and sentenced to the jefferson
City penitentiary for life, were re-
leased the other day and returned to
St. Louis. They were accompanied BY
Harry B. Halves, president Of the st.
Louis board of police commissioners.
It was at the solicitation OF Mr..
HAYES that Gov. Stephens signed their
pardons. Mr.. HAYES became convinced
several years ago Of the mems inno-
cence and has worked assiduously for
their release ever since. #s52gss 4 Z
The case of Henze and Kaiser is
probably unparalleled in criminal an
rails. They were eight times reprieved,
once in three hours Of the time set for
hanging, ultimately being consigned to
life imprisonment at hard labor. i
The men were convicted on purely
circumstantial evidence. The real
murderers, as revealed by investiga-

1t is believed at Santiago that the
problem of utilizing the vast re-

discovery Of extensive deposits OF coal

of very high grade, resembling fine
camel coal. #.5. {. as. s= 4
Mining men are surprised and de-

FEARS FOE PERA:
Pietro Mascagni Says Public Is
Moved No Longer BY Music.
composer of "Cavalleria Rustfcana''
Believes the Twentieth Century
Will Witness Separation OF
Music from Speech.

Pietro Mascagni, the composer of
"'Cavalleria Rusticana," believes that
the twentieth century will witness the
funeral of opera. In the New York
Journal he writes:
''As to the probable evolution of
musical work in the twentieth CEN
fury, cannot think Of it without;a feel
ing of dread.
Il fear, and am neither the only one
nor the first one to believe it, that
music, following the present trend will
slowly end by separating itself entirely
from speech. Poetry and music, born
twins under the classical sky Of Greece
of Homer and of Pindar, will break the
last knot that has kept them together
almost by force until to-day. Each Of
them will follow the road to which it is
destined by its intimate nature-tha
is. poetry will be the interpreter of all
that can be materially expressed by
words; music superior at least in
this to it's ancient system) will express
all that is beyond the reach of words.
Hence, opera will dissolve itself into
the two elements, music and the
drama, and this will be the end.
'But perhaps it will not end, for a
worse destiny will be reserved to it.
The public (and especially that of the
Latin nations, who more than others
are attached to the traditions of the
opera) which to-day goes to the the
alter only to feel sensations that can
startle, will not adapt itself to the
sole expression by music of the senti-
ments agita ting the human soul. The
public has an absolute need of the
speech which touches the most latent
fbers of the human heart. Then, in
the extreme struggle between speech
and music, in order to preserve the APP
pearance of opera, speech will have
the best of the struggle, and to music
will be left the humble task of serving
as simple handmaiden of speech.
''This, then, is my fear: The TWEEN
tieth century will witness the funeral
of the music-drama if there cannot be
found some one who has the genius
Ind the strength to wrest it from the
fatal current which drags it toward
its end"
