Out Down the War rs1rs.

The Republican party, il Il ex
poets to remain in power, had bet
ter speedily set about some reform
IN revenue legislation. The way
money is piling into the Treasury
in excess of the Governments re
Quirements threatens continued
danger to business. besides being
a constant temptation to extraVa'
gance.
A few figures will show this
The ordinary receipts and exPen
dltures OF December left a surplus
OF S7,7o5, ,6o4, besides which the
anticipation OF the January inter
est, ani the ite ms Of interest due in
December absorbed s. sac, 900
more, making the real surplus for
the month over Sra 900 ooo No
vember's surplus was Sc I75.724
and Octo Ier's was $3.50 s6I.
Here is an actual excess ol SI7.
a38,S8o OF receipts over expend.
itures in cash for the last quarter
OF the year, and if the interest pay
ments of January had not been an
ticIpated it would have been $aI.-
soc. 900. which is at the rate OF
$50. 600, 900 per annIm. January
promises another large surplus,
and by the close OF August the
exec IS OF receipts over eXpendi-
lures, it is officially estimated, will
amount to 500, ,ooo. 300, and It will
60 to 500, eoo, 900 by the close Of
1900.
With the vast increase in bust
ness activity which is call ng Tor
use ofevery dollar oil our currency,
it is manifest that this enormous
sum cannot be suared from the gem
eral circulation. The Treasury
already has a net cash balance OF
Sa8a 900. .ooo, and there would be
no reason in permitting it to reach
$500. 900, 900. The only way to OBJ
vlate 1t as the law now stands is for
the Secretary either to buy bonds
or else to increase the deposits in
the national banks.
With the Presidential campaign
gong on il is reasonable TO sup.
pose that the Adm, nistration wall
not subject itself TO any more
charges OF favorItIsm to fhe na.
tional banks. Money is so valua-
BILE now that the privilege would
be worth a great deal to the banks,
and would embitteT the already
great prejudice against them. And
to buy bonds at the exoTblCant
prices now asked would hardly be
good fnancIering or good politics.
The more feasible plan would be
TO reduce the revenues. What IS
the use If taking money from the
people when it is not needed The
ABOLITION or Teducti On OF some Of
the war taxes would be an easy So
luton of the question, il the sacred
structure of the Dineley tariff can
not be meddled with. The fact
that it is necessary to 60 carefully
because there is no clear idea as to
expenditures in our dependencies
nav be alleged as an excuse not to
touch the tariff, but the war taxes
should be cut down in some way.

WITH Great Britain declaring
that the South African republics
must be conquered If It takes every
man in the British Islands to do it,
and with Senator Beverdge de-
claring that we really ought to
have aoo, 900 men to conquer the
Philippines, the time seems TO have
come for the oppressors Of liberty

MoKinler,s slave Rolaers.

1
BY his treaty with the Sultan ot
Sulu President Mckinley makes oI
that coffee colored gentleman a
permanent office holder of the
United States, at a salarv oi So. lao
a year. We say SALARY" because
that is what the treaty call it, al.
though the Spaniards alway
spoke Of it az a "bribe to the
MoTos." In other words the money
is paid to insure the quietness OF
these savages. and this was justi
fed by General Bates on the
ground that they are "tall, strongs
and particularly dangerous peo-
ple."
BY the terms Of this treaty, which.
in itself, is PLAIN violation Of the
Constitution, for there is no pro-
vision tor Senatorial ratification,
both slavery and polYgsmy are
protected, as permanent institu.
tions. The New York SRH alludes
to this slavery as "Only mild
form Of feudal bondage" But Mr..
J. F. Bass, OF HaypeyS' WFekLy,
writing from the islands, says that
the Dato JokanIne. one Of the sign,
ers ot the treaty, and one OF the
beneficiaries, was provoked little
while ago by the antics OF certain
blacksmith who, though not
slave, was one Of his followers.
The Dato, our Office holder. went
to thu smithy one day and Mr..
Bass thus chronicles the interview:
The smith was just finishing of a
large barong.
LET me see that knife" said Joka.
nine Then running his finger along
the edge, he added: "It seems sharp;
may / try itf''
Certainly, Dato," said the unsus.
Meeting smith Without a seconds
hesitation, Iokanine raised the knlie and
split the smith to the chin The right
master has TO kill his slave is, therefore,
no stronger right than th9t sGerclsed BY
all the DatOs and the Sultan over the
life OF every man IN Sulu.
But emancipation is contem-
plated" says the Sun Yes. in
what waY1 Not in the way which
Abraham Lincoln pursued. Lin
coin would have INDUCED IN a
laugh Of derision at Article x.
which stipulates that slaves may
buy their freedom "bY paying to
the master the usual market
value" Perhaps the Sun can 6g-
ure out how long it would take a
slave working for nothing a year
to earn money enough to buv his
ireedoml The atrocity OF McKrn
ley's action in the matter Of this
treaty is entirely without parallel
in American history.

ON THE ISSUES OF THE DAY,
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-03-04

There is a woman in town, says the New
York Tribune, who observes all the rules
given in the magazines which tell how
the proper woman should conduct herself
generally and keep both herself and her
clothes in a good state of preservation.
One of the most important rules for the
preservation of the latter is never never
to put anything away with dust in it, And
this young woman never, never does. At
ter she has carefully folded her wells
and put them away between soft papers
she turns her gloves inside out according
to The most approved methods, and then
proceeds to dust things. No matter how
late it may be when she finally gets to her
room and is ready to prepare for the night
she first makes things ready for the next
day by thoroughly brushing them. Even
when the greatest care is exercised, walk
ing skirts will accumulate a large amount
of dust during the day, and it must be
shaken from the window. There are ad-
Vantages in doing this at night, because
one has not all appreciatiVe audience at
the nearby windows. So at midnight this
neat young woman. living exactly ac-
cording to magazine rules, flaps ands
snakes her skirts and beats them entirely
clean. But it is very hard to live up to
a principle in this life where there are so
many commonplace minds people who
care only for creature comforts. The
young woman has male relatives in the
house, and they are just in the enjoyment
of their first best sleep, they say, when
they are awakened by what sounds like
a healthy young earthquake, and then
the moon, which they can see from their
windows, is darkened by thick clouds,
If an eclipse We're in progress. They don't
like 1t and they protest that they will
say things If the earthquakes continue.

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
St. Paul, Feb. 2S.-Andrew Joseph
Thompson of Santa Rosa, Cal, aged lls
years, arrived here this morning on his
way to Weyerhauser. Wis, where he IS
going TO attend the marriage of his grelt-
granddaughter, Irene Tibbils.
Mr.. Thompson is as active as a kit
and bright-eyed as a lad of 10. His COM
panions are Vardon Thompson of Santa
Rosa and Elmer Thompson of the same
town, Thompson's grandsons. One is -
years old and the other SO. They cay The
old man can run mile in six minutes fiat
on a sandy road and that he expects to
live another hundred years The aged Cal
ifornan is wealthy, having made large
fortune in California gold properties in tho
early days. He is well educated, having
been trained as a doctor in Edinburgh
from which city he took his departure for
the United States with several others, now
all dead in 1909.
1t is not stretching the truth to assert
that Mr.. Thompson appears about 65 years
of age. He stands as straight as a pine,
has square shoulders and his face is fuH
and round. There is nothing in the man $
walk to suggest his great age, and he toss-
ed off a bottle of Bass ale with great nom
chalance Later he expressed the opinion
that ii was about breakfast time, and one
to order beefsteako
None of your giblets now the od
man shouted after him, Il want a por-
terhouse, cooked rare, with a baked p)-
tato and coffee"
The fact of the matter is" said Mr..
Thompson, Il am so Old and so healthy
because | have discovered the secret il
not of eternal life, at least of living a
couple of hundred years in comparative
comfort. In my opinion the dread OF
death is what causes death in innumera-
Bile cases. OF course l do not mean that
organic disease can be overcome by the
means l have adopted, but / do think that
all the deaths that occur from what Wa
characterize as general collapse could lie
averted. My plan is simple enough In
the first place, l refuse to be wOTis i
about anything. l never did Worry lt
must, of course, be taken into conSidert-
ton that II have really had nothing 10
cause me to worry for the last sixty
years or more. Since ceased active bus
mess about sixty years ago | have never
let day pass when the sun shone with
out barring my body to it's rays for one OF
two hours.
1.-The sun sinks into my old bones AMI
gives them new life. My skin is -
brown as an Indians all over. 1t mas
been that way ever since l began this
practice Of sun bathing. There is no
crankiness in my method" concluded The
aged traveller. 1T is simply giving the
Lords own medicine a chance to do its
work, and | can assure you that one hour
of bright sunlight pouring down on the
bare human body is more beneficial to tho
health of that body than a whole dispen-
sary fun of drugs.
