THE DOUBT REMAINS.

The discussion OF smallpox and yaws
has not cleared the atmosphere of
doubt. As Indicated by Looker-On to-
day. the uncertainty about the epi-
denic that is disappearing from Iowa
today is as great as ever in the minds
OF many. 1t was hoped when the dis
cussion was started that a clearer view
would be given of the nature of the
disease. Positive opinions have been
expressed on the side of the smallpox
theory, it is true, but they have been
accompanied by such bludgeons
against doubters as to make their
value of little force. Those physicians
of years and experience who have
spoken upon the subject have been
diffident about expressing the positive
opinion that every case has been that
OF smallpox. The most that has been
brought out is that types of this dis
ease vary at different periods and under
different conditions. Its effect. too,
upon different individuals varies. The
characteristics 8of this Tor any dther)
disease, as distinctly set forth III med
ical works, are not always those de-
veloped by the patient. altho there are
generally symptoms enough to enable
a doctor to make Il fair diagnosis. AS
the trouble has been contagious. With

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Evidently the people of Oregon cam.
not be deceived by the bugaboo of
imperialism and the crown Of
.thorns. says the Webster city Free
Tribune in referring 10 the big
republican victory in that state.
In speaking OF Hobar,'s candidacy
the Clinton Herald says: Senator Ho-
bart has come out under circumstances
that lead to the conclusion that he is
acting on the suggestion Of the railway
lawyer combine that has staked ev-.
erything upon the nomination of Mr..
Morrow for treasurer. Hence many On
his personal friends feel that he has no
right at this time to call upon them for
help or to expect anything from them
but open and active opposition. They
regret that he is not candidate when
they could help him. But he has
chosen to come out at the solicitation
of the worst enemies the republican
party has in the state and he must not
lcomplain if he has the active opposi-
tion of men whom he would naturally
expect as supporters The Herald
thinks that Senator Hobart has made
a serious mistake"
Burlington Hawkeye, that the name
OF the Philippine Islands be changed to
tine Lincoln islands. Let ii be done, for
Lit would be good thing to do. The
islands We're named after that tyrant,
Philip III, of Spain. 1t would be fitting
tnow to name them after the great
emancipator.'
The Clinton Age thinks the Boer is
better off among his own hills, even
under the iron rule Of Britain, than in
this country.
If the republicans were insincere in
proposing constitutional amendment
giving congress power to deal with
trusts, the Sioux City Journal asks

when he made the same proposal?''

A Timely Statement.

The General Assembly of Mary land is not
only besieged with applications for new appro-
priations aud for increase Of maay regular
ones, bat efforts are being made TO divert
revenue from the state treasury to local uses.
IL one-half the applications for appropriations
are granted the treasury would be bankrupt,
unless the demands be met by an increase in
taxation.
In view of these assaults on the treasury,
the following statement by Comptroller Her
ing. given to Sun correspondent, was forci-
BILE and timely:
THE amount IN the Treasury on January l.. 1890
was roundly, ssI20Oo- Ia order, however. to fully
understand the condition Of tine Treasury at that
date and the moneys available for the general pnr-
poses of the State il Is necessary t0deduct from this
sum SOB 900 of the S300.00 which had been appfo-
priated for the Fifth Regiment armOry, and only
81 900 Of which has been paid; also the sum OF about
Sl2i 900 amount due the sinking fund, leaving a
balance Of s3920 900 in the Treasury proper at that
time.

printing. etc. must be met The receipts into the
Treasury at this period of the year are conpara-
lively meager so it will be readily seen that with
the current demands upon the Treas Try for the ex-
penses of the State Government and for schools the
amount remaining in hand from all sources VIII be
very small
In regard to the proposed diversion from the
State Treasury Of moneys nov received from liquor
licenses amounting from the city Of Baltimore and
the state at large 10 about SO0000, agree with the
late Comptroller. Mr.. Godsborough. in saying that
such diversion can only be met BY laying addi-
tional direct tax, which could not be less at any
time than ~ cents the 500. and for the first
year IL would be necessary 10 levy much more.
Either that would have 70 be done s}000O0 taken

also be said that the moneys from these licenses

Mckinley Delegates.

The Georgia Republican convention chose
delegates large to the Republican national
convention on Wednesday as follows Wal
ter II. johnson, United States Marshal; Fl.
A. Rucker, collector of internal revenue,
colored; II. L. johnson, colored lawyer,
and Judson W. Lyons, colored, registrar of
the treasury. The delegation thus consists
of three Mckinley office holders, three blacks
and one white.
The only candidates put forward for chair
man of the Republican State Convention of
Texas, held on Tuesday and Wednesday,
were two Negroes. The feeling between the
two factions was bitter, and the contest over
selecting chairman lasted four hours, one
of the Negroes being elected by IS majority
in convention OF over 1000 delegates, The
convention split and each faction held sep
araie convention and named delegates to the
national convention. Each faction elected
two Negroes for delegates.

Pass the Bill.

Mr.. Walsh's bill to relieve telephone com.
panies chartered in this state from taxation
whose gross earnings do not exceed $1,000
is measure that should become law. Until
a few years ago the people of this state were
at the mercy of the Bell monopoly. The
people were compelled to pay excessive rem
tails, and would have continued TO pay them
but for the organization of independent local
companies. The rates in Westminster were
$500 year, with very limited service, until
the local company was organized, and this
excessive rate would likely have been main
tanned but for the building of new system,
by local capital, that gives wider service for
less than half the former Bell rates. To crush
out the local company here the Bell company
began to reduce rentals, but, considering the
greater number of subscribers the local com
pany has, the Bell Company still charges
double what the local company receives.
The local companies have broken up a
monopoly, and are entitled to some favor from
the state.
Pass the Walsh bill.

Satisfy Baltimore.

Fifty thousand dollars are now asked Of the
General Assembly for three medical schools
of Baltimore. aud in return each school is
to take ten students for four years. Let the
bill be passed, also bills appropriaiing $50, eco
to the Johns Hopkins University, $4,000 to
the law school, $50, 900 to the dental college,
$50, 600 10 the Maryland Institute $50. 900 TO
each Baltimore hospital, $4,000 TO each
Church in Baltimore and $4,000 10 each
newspaper, relieve Baltimore Of al State tax
alton, double her representation in the Lrgis
Iatnre. then probably she will be satisfied.
Possibly she would like to be the state capital,
and a bin to make her the seat Of government
nigh, as well be passed also. Baltimore nov
gets back every cent she pays into the state
treasury. but one would think FROM the stale
meuts frequently published tina; she praeli-
cally supports the state governmen, and
materially aids every county.

The Decay of Nations.

President David Star Jordan, of Leland
Stanford University, California, made an adj
dress in Chicago last Sunday, in which he
predicted the downfall of Great Britain IN
the course of the next century, an opinion the
ADVOCATE has held for some months. France,
Germany and Russia will decay also, and
Spain is likely to reach her former glory.
With her colonies cut off, and freed from
war, debt and misery, Spain will rebuild
Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia,
reaching after new territory, with occasional
wars and maintaining large armies and ma
vies, must eventually decay. Wars and large
military and naval establishments not only
deprive the people of their substance to sus-
tain them, but wars make widows and prevent
many marriages. Further, the strong and
healthy men are taken to war, many to be
slain. manned or ruined in health, and the
weak at home beget weak race, physically
and mentally.
Some British statesmen have time and again
asserted that England's colonial policy is a
continual drain upon her, above aud beyond
the benefits derived As she continues to
expand the greater viii be the drain.
The United States should profit by the ex-
perienee of Spain and England. Expansion
with Its inevitable wars will as surely sap our
vitality as a people as it has done the Spanish,
the English, the French and other European
nations. If we may judge from the appiea-
tions for pensions, one-half the soldiers and
sailors who returned from the war with Spain
are wrecked in health, and those who
were killed or manned in battle aud died of
disease number many thousand. Disease is
still decimating the garrisons in Cuba, Puerto
Rico and the Philippines, and Filipino bull
let's have killed aud wounded many of the
strong youth Of America, and the war IS still
unended. Added to death and physical decay
is the increase of debt and taxation, which IS
a burden that retards financial independence
and growth.

Power of the Trusts.

So severe and continuous have been the
criticisms of the Puerto Rican tariff bill, no
one acknowledges its parentage, but one
member Of the Ways and Means Committee
of the House, Tawney, of Minnesota, most
positively declared that it was drawn by Sec
rotary of War Root II is further declared
that the bill was drawn with President Nc
KinIey's knowledge and consent, aad that
the President and the Republican leaders in
Congress were forced by the trusts to shut off
free trade with Puerto Rico. The represen-
tatiyes of the Trusts, it is asserted, boldly and
coldly said they cared nothing for the suffer
ing Puerto Ricans; that they had been heavy
contributors to the Mckinley campaign fund,
with implied conditions of favors, aud they
demanded trade restrictions.

The Issues Joined.

The issues of the next campaign are already
joined. The press and people have formed
them, and the platforms drawn by the politi-
clans will be powerless to change them. The
questions to be decided will be whether the
United States will continue the Mckinley
policy of expansion and Imperialism, and
whether trusts shall be restrained in oppres-
sion of the people. The money question will
play but small part in the campaign, though
the Republican party will doubtless endeavor
to make it obscure the far more important
issues.
