enue act, so as to cut down the re-
ceipts, but in view OF the tact that
to make any move in that direc-
ton probably would prolong the
present session OF Congress tor
weeks, if not months, it is thought
by representative Republicans that
nothing on this line would be ad-
vlsable at this session"
No disposition is now mani
tested in the Senate to disturb the
war revenue taxes in the present
session OF Congress except by the
Democrats. Republican members
of the Senate Committee on
Finance who are in the city agree
in expressing the opinion that there
is no menace in the present sur
plus of revenue.
Representative Dalzell, OF Penn
sylvania. colleague OF Mr.. Payne
on the Ways and Means Commit
tee, said that in no event would
there be any step toward changing
the tariff law, as the reduction OF
revenues, if made, would be
through revision Of some OF the
features OF the war revenue act.
On the other hand, the Democrats
are not so reluctant in taking up
this question. and are doing all
they can to aid US to secure a vote
on the bill now pending in the
WAYS and Means Committee. The
German Republican press which
has been praising the President tol
his alleged advocacy Of the repea
OF part Of the war taxes, the brew
ers who were highly elated at the
Presidents announc ment, anc
who congratulated US Oh our work
Of agitation, will be greatly disap'
pointed when they read the SENTI
MEL this week. Sulzer in hi:
speech on the beer tax said
Whenever the Republican party
puts on a tax, they never take i
off," We believe he is right. The
| Democrats are our best friends
and the brewers should supper
them.

ProhibitIonIsts at work

On our third page we give
a summary OF the hearing
before the Insular Committee
OF the House regarding the sale
of liquors in our new posses
sions. The Prohibitionists were
out in force with a full assortment
OF assertions, deductions and
opinions, but were somewhat lack
ing in facts. Warfare, climate and
exposure cut no figure IN the casu-
atty list in their view. Disease,
disorder and death are alone trace
able to the sale ol stimulants.
When the report OF the hearing ap-
pears in print we may be able to
find something more than mere
assertion in it, in which event II
will receive consideration in the
SENTINEL. Information already
asked for in another direction, in
our opinion, will, however, refute
all charges made before the Insulai
Committee.

Taxat,on for a surplus.

The Republicans at Washington
under the lead OF the Administra-
ton, have about decided not to
muster out any Of the war taxes
now.
They admit that the surplus for
the year will be above 500, 900, 900,
and that the emergency" taxes
are therefore superhuous, vexa-
tious and dangerous to busin sss
by threatening a Treasury hoard.
But they say that they want to ad-
journ Congress before the Presi-
Dental convention, and that the
time is so short they will not
tamper with the tax laws now."
Have the Republicans thought
OF what happened to their party in
1892 when they had enacted tariff
for bounties and taxation for a
surplus7" They refused TO tam
per" with the oppressive and
odious la y, and the people pro-
ceeded to "tamper" with them at
the polls so efectually that they
called it a "tidal wave"
Human nature has not changed,
The people pay necessary taxes
none too willingly. They resent
unnecessary taxation as uni It
taxation, and sooner or later pun
ish those who inffict it upon them.

The Resignation Of Hon. We bster
DaYis.
Mr.. Davis has been a conspicu,
Gus figure in Republican politics.
He is one OF the best and most
forcible campaign orators Of his
party. He commanded attention
through the services he rendered
in 1896, and was selected for pro-
motion on that account. His tour,
last year, added to the claims he
had already established, and when
he left here, few months ago, to
make a visit to South Africa, his
value as a factor in our domestic
affairs was universally recognized
within the party. Now he resigns
a very prominent position under
the Administration, and we are
told that he has done this in order
to speak to the country without re-
straint touching a struggle in
which the countrY's svmpathies
are as unmistakable as they are
righteous. 1t is startling propo-
sition that any official representa-
tive of the United States should
find it necessary, or even conven-
lent, to abandon his office in order
to feel at liberty to proclaim sym
pathy with republic struggling
to defend itself against monarchi.
cal aggression. II we have mis-
sion in the world mission to
which we are bound by every hon
orable sentiment and obligation
it is that Of upholding the cause OF
the Beers against England, In
times past this country made haste
to declare itself for every
effort in the direction oil independ-
ence by the peoples Of the Western
Hemisphere. The Monroe Doc
trine was inspired by that sense OF
sympathy. The last thing we can
honorablY do is TO side with mon
archy against a nation seeking self
government. Unless we be hypo-
critics, unless our pretensions OF
reverence for the rights of man are
impudent and false; we owe it to
the fathers OF the American repuD-
lie, as we'll as to our own honor
and welfare, to stand with the
champions Of human liberty every
where throughout the world. And
yet, it is now announced that Mr..
Davis cannot declare himself for
the South African republics and at
the same time hold office under
the American Unionl
AS for Mr., Davis himself, we
venture to say that his fellow citi-
zens will now extend to kim a
sympathy and an admiration they
never felt before. He speaks to-
day for their best and noblest SEN
timents. Not only has he refused
the temptations of favor, he has re-
signed high Office and authority
that he may be free to speak for
human liberty and manhood. The
country will hear him with pro-
found interest. He has made a
careful and intelligent survey of
the situation. He has been with
the British as with the Beers. He
was an eye witness oil the tragedy
OF Spion Kop. And he will speak
to is, as the only man of promi- |
nence in this country who knows,
of his own knowledge, whereof he
speaks.
A brave man himself, testiiying |
to heroes and martyrs, he deserves |
our respectful and sympathetic
audience.

War Tax Must Stay.

The strong position taken by
Representative Richardson, the
leader Of the minority, on the
war tax question-the brilliant
speeches made by Congressman
Srlzer, Terry. Maddox and num-
erous other Democrats-the earn
est work and careful agitation Of
the Editor Of the SENTINEL on this
question, have frig htened the Ad-
ministration. The leader of the
Republican side, Representative
Payne, who we accused in our last
issue OF being afraid to express
himself upon this question, has in
troduced a resolution in the House
asking Secretary Gage Tor infor-
nation as to the revenues. Con-
gresham Lew, who introduced
the bill for a reduction Of the beer
tax, the most burdensome OF all
the war taxes, has informed the
Editor OF the SENTINEL that he has
seen the President and that the lat
ter will advocate a repeal Of some
of the taxes in this session. The
President is indeed frightened. He
is afraid he will lose the support OF
the brewers. (This we are conf.
dent he has already done.) He is
worried over the Porto Rican Tariff
bill, which has Just passed the Sen
ate, and wishes TO divert the public
mind from this iniamY, and to whip
those recalcltrant members who
are now against him back into line.
He has evidently come to that
point where he believes the most
popular thing he can do to regain
the public favor is to advocate an
immediate reduction OF the war
tax. We hope ne is sincere and
honest in this effort.
II this measure is brought up
the Democrats will vote with the
Republicans for the reduction.
Let the President prove his words
by instructing the members Of the
WAYS and Means Committee TO
report favorably on the Levy bill
now before that committee.
P. S. Since writing the above,
our worthy President has again
made one OF his lightning changes,
as we find from the Administration
paper, the Washington PosL of
Wednesday, that Eat the Cabinet
meeting yesterday the subject Of
reduction in the revenues by Con.
gress was discussed. 1t is UNDER
stood that the Administration is in
favor Of a revision Of the war rev. 4

Interesting conversation last night re-
garding Mr.. organs appearance at the
Republican conclave that first present
ed to- the people the name of William
Mckinley, among other)things said:
.sWhen w. j. Bryan entered the con-
vention hall at ST. Louis in June, 1896,
he passed unnoticed other tina to re-
ceiNe the commonplace salutations of
republicans who had served with him
in congress and whose curiosity led
them to question the purpose of his
presence.
1T was known to most of us in the
press, arena who had served our sever
al papers in Washington when Mr.. Bry-
an delivered his remarkable-an the
word is used advisedly speech upon
the tariff, that the brainy ex-congress-
man had entered the Journalistic field
as. editor of the, Omaha World-Herald
and that he would be at the republican
convention representing that and sew
eral eastern democratic organs.
Those of us who had met Mr.. Bryan
during his residence in Washington
+ had profound liking for him and {
high regard for his nobleness .ane
sense of honor as was demonstrated
more than once in his contact with the
boys of the press gallery.
The gentleman had but lately re
turned from a campaign in Oregon
where his appeals to the people hat
caused reduced republican majorities
especially in the first congressional
district, in the early June elections.
Mr.. Bryan greeted those of us HI
knew with his usual affability and, talk
ing the desk allotted to him, immedi
ately wrote and filed a telegram to hi
paper.
a. No matter what his ambition ma,
have been that day Mr.. Bryan. Ger
family did not dream that, one month
hence, he would be national figure
prominent as the candidate of a great
party for the exalted office of presi
dent. of the United States.
* Certainly he could not dream tina
he would live four years in the publ,
eye and then receive the unanimous
vote of the delegates to the, democrat
ic national convention of 1907 as he vii

Jay Tierney Released and Rearrested
CHARGED with DIsorderly Conduct.

Jay Tierney, the stranger accused of
assault with attempt to commit rape
Hast Thursday evening upon the person
iof Myrtle O'Donnell, the 1o-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
|O'Donnell, was found not gull
lty of the charge but was i'm
Immediately re-arrested charged with
disorderly conduct, to which he plead
guilty aud was fined $500 and commit
l5ted.
The evidence brought out on the
trial of the case was practically the
same as that printedsin the Courier at
| the time it occurred. AT the conclu-
lsion of the testimony the state admit
ted that it had not made case. The
county attorney regretted that the law
ibid not cover an indecent proposal but
thought that the man should be pun
l,ished. The information followed as
did Terney's plea of guilty to it.
Captain John Gray received a letter
this morning from Mrs. ]. Fl. Tierney,
| of Waucoma, Fayette county, this
state, asking about Tierney and stat
| ing that she had brother named Jay
Tierney who left home about five years
ago. She said that the brother had
Railways borne good name but that he
was not very bright, all of which an
swers very well for the defendant. The
captain will inform the sister of the
action taken.
After he had plead guilty to disor-
derby conduct Tierney told the court
that he had made no proposal to the
girl except that as he was passing the
evening of the occurrence she was try
ing to draw the awning up in front of
the undertaking establishment. 1t was
| too much for her and he offered to as
sist her but first said that if she would
pull the awning up unassisted he
would give her wad of chewing gum
This is directly contradictory to the
|lstory told by the girl. His explana-
ton did not hang together very well
but under the law nothing could be
done except to give him the limit on
a charge of disorderly conduct.
