1t is to the stupid blunder OF this

all our trouble IS due. A chronic
sufferer from insomnia, and all the
Ills it breeds, he lost his head at
the time Of the troubles with Spain,
and stupidity sent the Maine to
Havana. Every one will remem-
ber how he blurted out namely
that the Maine had blown up from
the inside, before he knew anything
whatever ofthe matter. Everyone
further knows Of the wanton war
he has made on SchleY. the hero
OF Santiago. He had two posi-
tions at his disposal, when he as
sumed office. Instead OF hlling
them with confidential friends, he
retained the old barnacles, and has
since been completely in the hands

is not less necessary, on the prin-

BREWERS, ATTENTION !
who is RESPONSIBLE for
the Tax?

We stated in our issue oithe 10th
inst, that, if the Secretary OF the
United States Bre Wers' Association
and Congressman Bartholdt, Of
Missouri, had not in 1898, when
the DingleY war tariff was being
framedT~ appeared before the Ways
and Means Committee, and the
Senate Finance Committee, and
made compromise on the war tax
in consideration of ~ per cent.
rebate in behalf oil the brewers with
the Republicans in the committee,
before the Democratic members OF
the committee were admitted 10
the consultation, we are confident
that the old war tax on beer would
not have been doubled. We re-
qussted and advised the represen-
tatiVes of the brewers at that time
to keep away from the committee
and not to settle this question until
both sides, Democrats and Repub-
licans, had an opportunity to be
heard on the measure. We made
this request because we knew that
the Republicans were unanimously
in favor OF the increase Of the tax
and that the Democrats were all
opposed to it. This was proven
afterwards by the vote on the
Dingley bill, when all the Repub-
licans voted for it and all the Dem
ocrats against it. (Among those
who voted for the increase of the
tax was Mr.. Bartholdt himself)
The result was that after the United
States Brewers Association had
acquiesced in the arrangement
made by their attorneys with the
Republicans, the whole question
was then considered by the Re-
publicans res aaJNaicata "a settled
matter) in both the Senate and
House committees.
When the Democratic members
Of the House and Senate attempted
to prevent the increase Of the tax
at the request oI various brewers
and also at the behest OF the Editor
Of the SENTINEL, they were quietly
informed that it was too late and
that the matter had been settled
and the brewers as patriots had
consented to pay the double war
tax. Amongst those brewers who
were unwilling to submit to this
arrangement with the Brewers AS
sociation and pay double tax and
who also appreciates our fight at
the present time against the tax is
Mr.. Fred Krug, OF Omaha, Neb.
We wish there had been more OF
Mr.. Krug's caliber, Tor then the
mischief might have been pre-
vented.
In this connection we publish the
following letter:
Washington sentinel., 1900-03-31
who Pays the War Taxes.

a letter from England says:
"Sir Michael Hicks Beach (the
Chancellor ol the Exchequer) has
put an extra tax on our tea, our
tobacco, our whiskey and our beer,
to help meet the expenditures OF
our war" Now the masses of the
people are the consumers of tea,
tobacco, whiskeY and beer, and
therefore they are the ones that
pay the taxes. Moreover the prices
of necessaries of life have gone up.
That Of coal has been doubled.
So that on final analysis the cost
OF war falls on the poor. The
English case is identical with that
of the United States. And all that
a few millionaire exploiters may
add to their millions. When the
masses OF the people realize who
pay for wars, and who alone reap
the benefits, and act accordingly,
then, and not till then. will there
be an end OF war.

GOVERNOR SrEUNRNBURo, OF Idaho,
appears to be remarkable man. He
admitted on the stand last Monday that
he declared martial law in the Coeur
d'Alene district on the strength OF a
telegram or two, and maintained it for
months during which no man to his
knowledge resisted the authorities. He
also permitted men TO be arrested and
confined in the bull pen without charges
being preferred, without examination or
trial, and only because they came from
localities which he considered suspic.
ious.

their graves. In the case OF Porto
Rico it is even worse, Tor they had
representation in the Spanish
Cortes, while they have none in
the United States Congress. The
colonists never had any in Eng
land, yet they would not submit to
English taxation without represen-
tation. Itwas bad enough to have

pleasure to publish the following
letter from Senator Allen, OF Neb-

Washington Sentinel,
Box 4S6 Washington, d c,

Gentlemen: We have read with much
interest your editorial concerning beer
tax in your edition OF March 10th, and
while we frankly endorse same, we are
not lmmodest in stating that we have
done some very effective work ourselves
on both Senators and Representatives
from our State, and especially did SEN
ator Allen promise us at the time that
he would do everything that lay in his
power toward the relief of the brewing
interest. We have bad similar express
slons, more or less emphatic, from
nearly all OF our public men in Washing
ton, and we had no reason at the time
whatsoever to doubt their absolute
sincerity in the matter. We may again
address them on the subject, but we do
not think we can add very much to the
argument we used to them at the time
in behalf Of the speedy aboIishment.o of
the extra dollar war tax on beer. We
would bid you persevere in your efforts
in knocking out this infamous piece Of
legislation, and thanking you I'm our own
behalf at least for what ou are dong in
behalf of the brewers Of this country,
we remain, yours very truly,

UNIFORM BOUNTY LAW.
Governor Richards Wants Western
States to Get Together. 4

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. l.-Gov.
ernor DeForsst Richards message
to the sixth state legislature spoke
of the prosperous condition of bust
ness, OF the state and county gov
ernments, and made number OF
recommendations. Among the sug-
gestions was one that, if acted upon,
means much to the stockmen of the
western, or stock raising, states.
The governor, after speaking at
some length of the rayages OF wild
animals among the herds and hocks
and of the efforts made in the past
to rid the ranges of the pests, rec
commended that the Wyoming legis-
latare memorabilia the Legislatures
of the states of Utah, Nebraska,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, South
Dakota and North Dakota to agree
upon some uniform bounty law and
that the memorial be transmitted to
the president Of the senate and
speaker of the house of each OF the
state LEGISLATURES OF the states nam
ed.
The governor believes that if the
states agree upon a certain bounty
and adopt uniform plan OF mark
ing the pelts, the illegitimate opera
tions of professional wolf hunters
who collect bounty on thesam pelts
in several states will be done away
with.
During the year 1900, the state
paid bounty upon 1900 wolves and
10, l8S coyotes. Although there is a
strong sentiment against appropiat-
ing money out Of the state funds for
wolf bounty, the objections being
raised on the ground that the stock
men, who receive the benefits from
the war on predatory wild animals,
should bear the expense themselves,
it is believed bounty bill carrying
and appropriation Of $2b, 900 will be
passed.

comment, much of which has been
guess-work, but the real seat Of the
trouble as given by the Sioux City

sheets in the ontire northwest, TIE
UNION gives the version Of the case
a. given by that paper:
sThe United States land office Of
this city has had q severe shaking
up during the past few days. For
over q year. and a half, it il alleged,
there has been more or less crooked
ness on the part of some Of those in
official charge. An official investi-
CATION has just been made. They
found in the first day Of the investi-
CATION that the register, A. K, Card
ner, and the clerk, N. !. Garrison,
knew considerable about the crook
edness, and both men Immediately
resigned.

accepted to take effect january 81,

accepted, he being in the civil SER
vice, and he will have to stand trial.
1.-THE act Of congress, which was
approved June 4. 1897. setting apart
the Black Hills forest reserve, pro-
vided that settlers could relinquish
| their lands and take in lieu thereof
like acreage elsewhere on the public
domain. The act congress approved
March 8, 1899, provided that settlers
upon unsurveyed lands within the
the Black Hills forest reserve who
had established residence in good
4 faith prior to September 10, 1893,
could enter homesteads under the
existing homestead laws.
Competition in the purchase Of
these lands became so active that
dishonest methods were resortsd 70
in the entering Of homes eads, as IL
was generally circulated that 8 man
could take q homestead and dispose
of it through the scrip brokers for
: several hundred dollars.

places in the Black Hills calling at.

Rapid City land Office was placed in
