Lessen War Taxes.

The Chicago Tribune, usually
elasssd as an administration organ,
warns President Mckinley and his
advisers that failure to relieve the
country of the burdens of Unneees-
sary taxation will cause widespread
dissatisfaction. The treasury surplus
amounts to S175, 100000, exclusive of
$3.50, OOo, 600 which will be set aside
a. . redemption fund. This surplus
represents in part the receipts from
the sale Of bonds IN 1893, and partly
the excess Of revenue ever expendi-
lures under the present taxing laws.
There would be no such excess"
says the Tribune, "but for the war
taxes Of 1898. Those taxes are pre-
duoing q surplus which is the feeund
parent of hundred schemes of plum

According to the recent statement

ALL IN A MIDDLE.

Yesterday morning the case of Mr..
John Foreman. charged with violating
the city ordinance in regard to build
Ing bay window on the street. was
before Mayor Baird
After hearing the evidence, Mayor
Baird said that three sections of the
ordinance was all In muddle. and that
under them he could not convict any
one. The law gave persons the right to
build five feet porches on the street
and he saw no reason why a person
should be obliged to build porch five
feet and then object to bay window
two feet. He did not recognize the
citys right to grant permission to OBJ
struct the streets in violation of law:
yet 1t Is done. He would, in accord
ance with instructions from the City
Attorney refer the three sections to
the Council at their next meeting, and
ask that they fix an ordinance cover
ing the whole thing and make it eff
fective from it's passage. So he con-

GRADY'S PREDICTION.
IF the balmy South does not realize
to the full the possibilities predicted for
1t by Its late brilliant Georgian, Henry
w. Grady, 1t will be its own fault.
me climate is such as to allow long
outdoor work, free from rigorous
weather, and working in the mill and
factory free from much OF the expense
OF heating and building incident to the
harsh climate of Northern and Eastern
states The very richness OF Its re-
sources entails a greater responsibility
upon Its people. and II the richest re-
suits are not attained from these re-
sources 1t must necessarily be on ac-
count Of the poverty OF effort put for
ward by its people. And I do not be-
lieve from the history of these people
since the civil war, that any man writ
have right to accuse them of lack OF
honest and effective efforts"

A QUESTION ANSWERED.
I'm this connection 1 would remind
You. In reply to question Which you
asked little while ago, as to why this
white element had not been attracted to
the South before now, that think the
main reason for it lies in the fact that
the men who have devoted years, of
study to the immigration problem were
not in the South, but In other sections,
especially the North and Northwest.
Il have heard during my journey
that Mr.. st. John was one of these men.

influx of immigration along the terri

by which he has brought about such
q result
II have been told that he spent over
thirty years of his life in the West and
Northwest on the great Rock Island
road, and perfected system through
which Minnesota and other Northwest
ern States are to-day populated by
thrifty, bread-wnning citizens, the
plain, hardy population behind the city
of Minneapolis having forced that city
forward with astounding rapidity to
the position of one of the greatest job
bling cities of this country. believe,
from conversation with others, that the
South has been great gamer even
from AIR. ST. Johns short sojourn of
the last five or six years In that sec
ton.
THE SOUTH AND WEST.
What he did for Minnesota and the
West he is now doing for the South.
and while not Wishing to make any un-
just comparison (for all the railroads
In that section are doing great work),
he is the only man with whose methods
/ am acquainted who is pushing for
ward this great work on the most scien-
tific and effective basis. But in this
comparison with the Northwest the
South comes out great gamer, for its
products are eighteen to twenty-four
hours nearer to the great marts of
trade than are those of Minneapolis,
Duluth.
"In Mr. Williams and Mr.. st. John Is,
in my Judgment, a combination OF the
South and West working in harmony
toward the real 1ipbuilding of that sec
ton, which is at once unique and In
teresting not only to the railroad, but
to the financial onlookers of this coun-
try. The officials OF this road have
been most courteous to me In every
way, and they seem to have been Sc
lected with reference to their technical
fitness for their work.
