ChanIain Chadwick.

In speaking of Chaplain Chadwick,
who will speak at the Carroll Club on
next Monday evening, the Pittsburg
Post said THE enthusiasm was man
ifested in a constant fusilade of ap-
plause. Patriotism and sheer admira-
ton of magnificent eloquence inspired
it. Chaplain Chadwick, like VirgiPs
hero, could say, All of which saw,
and part of which l was He began
with quieting the scruples of those who
wondered how teacher of Christian
ity could speak with eulogy of the
glories of war. He quoted famous
poetical passage describing the horrors
of conflict, but held that some wars
are justifable and necessary. Nations
must maintain their supreme honor.
There are times when governments
must demand a sacrifice for outraged

his long and brilliant career, than
that which is embodied in his play
Lady Flora which will be presented
at the Opera House Saturday, matinee
and night, with Miss Gertrude Cogh-
Ian in the title role. and a splendid
supporting company. The play tells
a delightful story, it contains many
strong dramatic situations, and it is
rich in its literary qualities. The
characters are mostly members of the
English aristocracy, the heroine being
daughter Of peer of the realm, but
left an orphan when but a child. AT
the time of the story she is in her
seventeenth year, sweet young girl
who has been reared entirely in the
country, away from the influences of
life in London The love story that
the play develops is one of the most
delightful that has ever been given to
the stage, and Miss Coghlan perfectly
realizes, in every respect, the charact-
err of the lovely heroine. This beauti-

ADANGEIsoUs PRINCIPLE.

The argument employed in behalf of the
Grout o:ii-proposing to put tax OF ten
cents per pound on oleonargarine, colored
to initiate butter, and to reduce the tax
on unco!ored oleomargarine to one-fourth
of cent a pounds that it would prevent
fraud in the manufacture and sale of this
article. The purpose Of the bill! is to
prevent fo.sting artificial butter on the
public as the real article, and to take
the substance out OF competition with the
dairy and creamery product
Without going into the merits Of the
bill, we say that this is, on principle
questionable use OF the taxing power. The
purpose of taxation Is to raise revenue,
and when employed for any other purpose,
it is dangerous 10 say the least
This is one of our chief objections to the
prohinitive tax placed by the Government
upon the issues OF State banks. This tax
was imposed as was publicly confessed
by Mr.. Sherman. not to raise revenue, and
not one cent os revenue has been raised
under that provision, but for the distinct
and/ayowed purpose of preventing State
banks from issuing their circulating notes.
Carry that policy to its logical end and
there is no end to the mischief that the
governing power may work to private in
terests. BY prohibitive taxation the Gov
eminent may crush one branch of business
and build up another. 1t may make and
break business interests at will Taxation
is contiscation, and the. taxing power
should be employed with the greatest dis
cretion When employed to raise revenue
for the operating expenses of Govern
-nept economically administered. that is al
right But when employed to distress, TO
harass. to extort, TO aid one class at the
expense of another. it is an unwarranted
and vicious usc-wc should say abuse
of the taxing power

Kinley is opposed to cutting down SOUTH
ern representation in Congress as a re-
1aliation for Southern Acknowledgement of

That is aptly put Retaliation" is the
right word. We have shown from the
records that the Reconstruction Commit
