one question we prove how lightly we
can be false to all. Shall we impose i'm.
perialism unsuccessfully in 1900 to aban-
don the cause in 1904? No. When you
in your convention spoke the word of
constancy to our platform Of '96 you
demonstrated that the democracy has
planted itself firmly upon the glorious
declarations Of that platform, and upon
those lines will gain the victory for the
people.
PEOPLE WISER THAN THE FEW.
1t is a false cry from those who so
lightly abandoned their tariff views in
'W because of our money policy, that
they cannot sink their views upon the
money question to rescue the country
from imperialism and monopoly. If
they are in earnest they must take our
party policy as the majority determines
it, or they must go 70 the opposition.
There are many alleged Democrats who
need to learn the lesson that the peo-
pie are wiser than the few, and if the
awful ulconsequences Of Republican vote
in '96 have not yet satisfied them how
fatalis any divergence from the Demo-
cratic party, then they are not fit mem
,bers ofour party, and we are stronger
without them than with them. The
truth is, that those who are Democrats
at heart will gladly undo the mischief
which their opposition Of '96 has fast
ened upon the people, AMI will come
back rather with contrite spirit than
with any demands for a change of policy.
Any change Of policy to-day would
prove us fickie and inconstant, and for.

In recent very thoughtful article.
The Public Chicago pointed out that
with the protection OF the constitution
withheld from the people of Puerto Rico
or the Philippines, or both, "they can
be taxed differently from the Americans;
they can be denied the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus; ex post factolaws
may be passed to regulate their rights,
titles of nobility may be conferred upon
persons put over them; religious regula-
tions may be imposed; freedom of
speech and of the press may be denied,
and petitions for redress Of grievance
suppressed; unwarranted searches and
seizures and arbitrary imprisonments
may be made; life, liberty and property
may be taken without the process of
law; and all the other rights secured to
Americans by the constitution may te
denied. Even if our congress extended
to them the protection of the constitu-
ton or any of its clauses. any subse-
quent congress would, under this theory
(the theory that the constitution does
not extend of its own force), have the
power to withdraw it" When Ameri-
cans who have votes have difficulty in
restraining legislators from depriying
them of these rights would the islanders
who were without votes have?

WAR TAXES.

1t is high time that the war taxes
should be removed.
There is surplus in the treasury and
this surplus is destined to grow stead
lily if the taxes are not stopped.
Of course it would be better for all
concerned if congress would repeal the
tariff which protects the trusts and let
the war taxes stand, but congress is re-
publican in politics and will do nothing
of the kind.
THIS being the case, the war taxes
should.go. The secretary of the treas
ury has made a statement regarding the
revenue. Upon the showing which he
makes the repeal of the war taxes, in
part at least, is practicable. For the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1900, the esti.
mated receipts for the government are
as follows: Customs, $233 ,OOO, 900; inter-
nal revenue, $292, 1000 700; miscellaneous,
$35, ,00O, 900; total, $3.50, 100000. The ex-
penditures, including $l35, 100000 for
the army and on our war account, $685..
100000 for the navy and $4,000, 900
for pensions, aggregating $49O,OO0, 600.
leaving surplus of $4,000, 900.
Plainly that SIC, 100000 should not be
exacted from the people.
Housed in the treasury it is a tempta
tion for subsidy grabbers and can do the
taxpayer no good, being out of circula-
ton and practically buried capital.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1901, the total revenues of the goyerL-
ment are estimated at $577 ,OOO, 900 and
the expenditures at 1896, ,o00, 900, leaving
a surplus of $s2,OOO,OOO. In the next
fiscal year the secretary allows $125, ,OOO,-
600 for the army and presumably for
war, and $60, 0,O0O,O for the navy-a re-
duction of $5,OOO,OOO on account Of the
two most important items in our nation.
al budget since the era of imperialism
was ushered in with the reign of Nc
Kinley.
This matter will grow worse as ex-
penses are reduced and the only way to
improve the conditions is to repeal the
unnecessary war taxes.

Complete and self-Contained Little

The saddle was of wood throughout
with broad fans, the splay of which
could be altered to suit a camePs' back
without much trouble by the native
saddler attached to each company, says
the Cornhill The pad was removable
leather outside, soft felt inside, the
stuffing being of hair, and, by a system
of pockets, this hair stuffing could be
removed and shifted at will, SO as TO
alter the pressure and prevent it hard
ening and forming into Jumps, the men
being taught to constantly remove and
pull the stuffing of their saddles. Each
saddle was fitted with one large leather
"khorg," or bag. containing six days
forage, and with two smaller ones con-
ing, besides which each man was pro-
Yided with two water skins, to be filled
according to requirements. Thus
equipped, seven days desert trip
could be undertaken, IL there were
wells containing sufficient to water the
camels about every third day. The
men were armed with Martini rifle
andHgayonet, and carried 300 rounds of
ammunition, ninety in bandolier aud
pouches, the remainder on their sad
dies, sewn in roughly made saddle
cloth, so as to distribute the weight
equally. They were clothed in brown
wooden jersey, cord pantaloons and
leather CATERS. The total weight car
ried when loaded up for a seven days
trip, with filled waterskins, would be
a good 400 pounds, which, of course.
reduced itself daily as forage and water
were consumed. Thus we have COM
