kipling's New Stories

Rudyard Kipling's first piece OF sus-
tanned work since his illness last year
turns out to be series Of humorous al
imal stories which are said to show
the freshness and zest OF man who has
had long rest. Kipling loves to write
an animal story better than anything
else, and when his physicians allowed
him to return to work he instinctivey
turned to this series which he had in
mind for years, There are nine storiee,
and each one is supposed to tell the
origin of the most conspicuous part OF
the animal portrayed. Thus, in "The
Elephants Child" he tells most droll
story OF how the elephant happened to
get trunk, and in The Sing Song Of
Old Man Kangaroo" he gives the history
OF how the Kangaroo got his long legs,
for, Mr.. Kipling says, there was a time
when elephants had no trunks, and kan
garoo's legs were not as long as they are
now. The story, it is said, show M
Kipling at his very best. They are ca
pressiyely funny and have that rar
quality OF appealing to old as well II,
young. The author has sent the entire
series to the Ladies' Home Journal, and
that magazine will begin their publica.
ton in its next issue.

This country is at present trying to
solve some great and difficult problems.
The tariff question and the question
of the monetary standard appear just
now to be practically solved and the
principal thought seems to be turned
on questions that apply to our new pos
sessions. Shall we admit our new
possessions into our body polite so that
they will have applied to them the
same revenue laws that we have or
will we legislate SPECIALLY for them ?
There are some fundamental political
principles involved in the answer to
this question. We are inclined to
think our government has the right to
adopt special legislation for these pos
sessions.

Last week the Advocate acknow-
lodged times are good but claimed
republican administration had moth
ing to do with the improvement, that
Mckinley simply knew enough to keep
hands off and let business go on. If
that is all he has done that is more
than the last democratic administration
did. But that is not all. The Advo-
cate should know the republicans have
enacted protective tariff law and a
gold standard law during this admins
tration. We should think these were
items of consido rable Importance either
from democratic or republican stand
point. If times were now bad the Adj
vocate would be quick enough to
charge the administration with being
responsible, but since they are good it
ought in fairness to give it due credit.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany

there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group: Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return He
also bought a,bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped could
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned
saying the doctor need not come, rs
the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

The Puerto Rican tariff bill, should

The Puerto Rican tariff bill, should
it become law in the form
in which it passed the House, will give
to the people of Puerto RicoAa couple
of hundred thousand dollars q year for
improvement of general conditions,
educational and otherwise, in the island
and yet will give them such CONNER
cial relations with the United States as
to greatly stimulate the interchange OF
commodities, while by the higher duties
imposed on articles coming into the
Island from other countries we will be
given practically the entire market.
The duty collected on merchandise
coming into the United States from
Puerto Rico at full Dingley law rates
amounts to little over million dol
lars year, and with collection of but
fifteen per cent. of the regular rates,
perhaps 100000 would be realized,
which would be Immediately expended
for internal improvements in the
island.

The democrats in congress act like
they thought they were the sole
guardians of the constitution. They
are much afraid that great instru-
ment will be violated in this country's
treatment of Porto Rico. Well, the
republican party which is responsible
for the Porto Rican Legislation, showed
enough interest in the constitution at
one time to preserve it when if they
hadn't it would have been torn into
tatters, We rather think they have
some respect for it yet.

The solid front which the democrats
in congress put up against the gold
standard bill leads us to think that
that question will surely be one of the
issues of the campaign this year, so far
as the declarations of the platform are
concerned, but it will be of but little
interest ana but little attention will be
paid to it because it is practically
settled.

DELINQUENT PERSONAL TAX
COLLECTOR.

The action of the Councils in con-
sidering the question of a collector OF
delinquent personal taxes Is a most
|commendablc one.
Giving to the Councils it's full need
|of praise, we would at the same time
respectfully make a suggestion, we'll
worthy of consideration.
1t will doubtless require Legislative
faction TO carry out the much desired
end, and hence the several other mat
ters, already suggested. should be
taken up and made laws at the same
time.
1t may be some information to the
public to be told that this delinquent
personal tax matter. with general
amendments to the charter, was taken
up and maturely considered by spe-
cial committee of the Councils and the
City Attorney in 1896. AT that time
men like Willoughby T. Cooke, Med.
L. Wrenn, Geo. J.. Arps, J. w. Borum
and others maturely considered the
amendments needed. The new charter
was never offered in the Legislature.
from the fact that it was considered
good party measure to allow the
change to be made during the incum-
bency of the reform movement.
1t might be we'll for the Councils to
call for and get this old report, as ~ell
as such other memoranda as was then
gathered.
Every meritorIous measure has It's
attending difficulties or course, the de-
linquent tax collector will be paid a
much larger percentage for collections
than received by the City Collector. 1t
follows. therefore. that the two off,
fees should not be held by the same
person, and the oath OF Office and con-
ditions should create severe punish
In tlie-ett-e.tt Of coiiitfsiori between
the two officers; else greater per cent.
would be delinnuent(?). The Office
should only be held for one term, with
compensation based on commission of
collections, thus insuring conscientious
work during the tenure OF office. There
should be allowed no hold overs" as
was the case up to the late Reform ad-
Iministration.
The change in the Charter is a hap
ny one. but it should be carefully
guarded ana protected. Ii would as
found taxpaye to know the number
of able bodied voters and others who
pay TO personal tax, and would be as
great Il surprise to realize how easily
the city can be duped

A FEW INSIDE FACTS.

1t will doubtless not be taken as a
breach of confidence, or as n betrayal
of secrets. in letting out n few inside
facts in the matter OF local city politics
generally. OF course, in the beginning
all persons will understand that Nor
folk is excepted. since, had we not said
this. the paper would be rife with the
denials of virtuous city officials.
TO begin with The Councils afford to
an honest man but an empty honor.
There is no pay provided by the city.
Secondly, the saaried Offices are
good, fat, juicy plums, much admired,
much sought after and badly wanted
and needed For who ever saw an
Office seeker that was not needy"
Where the salaries are comes the
money. Omce-seekers pay well to get
their Office, while Councilmen have to
be sought and begged to serve. The
result is that the candidate for office
nearly always make up the Council
ticket and are always most influential
In framing the slate. Indeed. 1t were
useless for the salaried officers to run
with a bad Council ticket.
| This is the first reason why the sala.
ried officers are responsible for the per-
sonnet OF the Councils.
But there is another OF greater i'm.
portance still. The onlcc-holders live
through or by politics. Their salaries
are their income. Politics is their pro.
/ fession. They loaf around with the
boys" set the pace and declare the
policy Of the party. They hold tbs
offices in the local machinery and are
the bosses. for they furnish the sinew.

SchIoy's vindlcation.
(From Richmond Tlmes.)

Tuesday last the President and Sea-
rotary Long had 4 consultation with
eight of the captains OF the several war
vessels that took part in the naval bat
tie of Santiago, in which the Spanish
fleet was destroyed. 1t was an informal
conference and the captains talked free
ly, answering many questions put to
them by the President and Secretary
Long, and bringing out many enter
tanning facts in connection with that
famous enGa cement The most interest

during the fight. Captain Cook an
nounced that he as command r of the
vessel. ASSUME entire responsibility ,r
that movem; mt and had no apo 'osies to
make for 1t. as none were necessary,
according to the view taken by those
who participated I'm the conference.
II was this movement which the enc
mics of Admiral Schlcy employed in an
effort to bring that noble officer into
contempt. They put the responsibility
entirely upon Schlay and tried to make
ii appear that he showed fear and cow
ardice in thus manceuvering the vessel
on which he was stationed 1t was
contemplate piece of business from
first TO last, but the public readily saw
through the whole plot and so far
from condsmning Schley, as his enemies
had hoped would be the case. at the
first opportunity to wit, at the Dewey
celebi a.ion in New York, the multitude
gave Schley an ovation quite as COR
dial and enthusiastic as that which
they gave TO the hero OF Manila Bay.
And now, after the lapse of many
months, the captain of the Brooklyn
tells the President and the Secretary of
the Navy that he alone was responsible
for the movement, and his brother cap
tains all agree with him that his ship
was managsd courageously and scien-
tifically. and that there was no need
even for an explanation.
Admiral Schley did not need any vim
dication. for he has proven himself TO
