AS BAD AS NINEVEH.

New York Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
 Rabbi Joseph Silverman preached this morning at the Bethel Emanuel on ''The Redemption of a Goddess City" He took as an example of Goddess city that had been redeemed, the City of Ninevah. which, he said, had become so wicked that the word Ninevah had become synonomous with all that was depraved and wicked. It was no worse than hundreds of other cities, in which he included New York.
 "In great city, where vice is rampant" he said, ''there will always be corruption in officials The whole atmosphere in our large cities today is tainted with material ism and sensralism, because we are living in an age that lacks idealism. purity of feeling and chivafry of action. but where the spirit of commerctalism is paramount fin tine minds of the people and of the of-

Governor IeIkss Message.

The extreme lberality of the Legisla- ture to the special schools of the State has induced Governor Jelks to ask that further gifts be postponed until the financial condi- tion of the State can be more clearly seen. Governor Jelks asks that in fairness to the new administration the Legislature first as- certain the resources of the State before induging in free-handed special donations Five special schools were voted in response to active lobby influences $1O5,OOO, and Gov ernor Jelks thinks further appropriations of a similar nature should be postponed to the latter half of the session It Is indeed doubtful whether they should rot be post poned without day." pr. J. L. M. Curry found in Montgomery active lobby influ- ences for all except the barefooted boys and girls of the State, and this state of five public schools, and the possible with holding of an added sum of like amount for the benefit of the 700 GOO children who can not attend the five schools.
 Be this as it may Governor Jelks mas act ed in public affairs as he would in his priv ate affairs-he has asked the Legislature to keep the States expenses within the States income. This request or advice, together with Senator Clark's joint com mittee. and the framing of the new reven- ue bill will have a tendency to steady the ship of state, and bring her into safe wa ters. The State has good manager in Gov ernor Jelks, and the bottom of the treas ury will not be reached if his warnings and advice are needed instead of the importuni- ties of the lobby. The adjournment comes none too early.

been created for Governor Sanford, Cover nor Jelks. Senator Morgan and Senator Pettus It would be manifestly indelicate to put judges in such places, for they would have to construe what they had made, and pride of devisement might warp their minds. These suggestions are in the interest of a 6road and harmonious instru- ment-one that will stand throughout the new century. The centennial constitution should be drawn with view of standing a century. This is manifestly the thing 10 do, and the first thing to do towards reach- ing such condition of peace and develop ment consists in the careful selection of delegates to the convention. The people have this important task on their own hands

War Tax Bill.

The minority report of the ways and means committee made by Merrs. Richard son, Underwood and other Democratic members of the committee, is a very inter esting document. They say they will not oppose the bill, because taxation is too heavy, but they will try to amend it in the interest of fair and just taxation. In stead of relieving luxuries of taxation they will ask that the first reductions occur in the tariff which is stuffed with items that were intended to foster, and that do foster and promote monopolies or trusts to the great oppression of the people. These trusts, they say, sell to foreign consumers out of the same factory goods at a lower price than they sell to home consumers. They thus lay down the principles of just taxation:
 We favor an alteration in our system of taxation which would collect more revenue from the accumulated wealth of the coun- try and correspondingly less from the pro- ducing energies and enterprises.
  require that a person should be taxed rather on what he has than on what he needs, hence we favor a system by which a reasonable portion of the present taxes should be collected from incomes or from profits rather than almost the entire bur den of taxation should be placed on con- sumption.
 We believe that a provision should be ends brought in an income tax, and yet es- cape an adverse decision of the Supreme Court of the United States.
 We contend,' concludes the minority, 'the vice of our existing legislation is that almost all the burdens of the federal gov ernment are imposed upon consumption rather than upon production. For federal purposes the people are taxed for what they want, and not for what they have. and a false system of taxation has thus been inaugurated which has practically made per capita distribution of the bur dens instead of a distribution in some de- gree proportionate to the wealth which is protected"
 This indictment of taxation by the Re- publican party is complete and every line of it is justified by the-facts. Republican taxation is in the interests primarily of monopoly and plutocracy, and the masses come in for some fragments for appear ances' sake only.

CAPTAIN SHIELDS
Will Come Home to Recuperate-TeIIs
 of His Capture.

San Francisco, Dec. I.-Capt. Devereaux Shields of the Twenty y-nnth Infantry, United States army has been invalided one of the most thrilling adventures of the war in the Philippines.
 Captain Shields and fifty-two men left Santa Cruz, on the Island of Martinique, on September Il last, for the purpose of re- connoitering. Two days later they fell into an ambush, and were fired upon by about 250 men with rifles, supported by 2OOO men with bolos
 Captain Shields, telling of the engagement, said
 'I was twice wounded and fell uncon- scious but soon recovered, and then gave the order for the command to fight its way back to the station. I told them to leave me with a man from the hospital corps.
 q dropped behind a rice stack and told the man to raise the white flag. The in- surgents continued to fire at us The men fought their way back a short distance, but were surrounded, and had to surrender or be killed
 After the insurrectors came to us, one of them took all of my belongings Another man was going to shoot me, when 1 saw a hand and arm come foreward and strike up the gun.
 "We were kept in native novels for twelve days, and then we started on a march over the mountains, through dense forests and across rivers compelled to sleep in mud and rain, and given only the dirtiest water with which to wash our wounds. This continued until October 12 when we were told that orders had been received to turn us over to the Americans. We were taken to Buena Vista and turned over to General Hare

NATIONALlSTS
Denounce South African War-Trouble in Their Own Ranks.

Dublin, December 11.-There was large attendance of delegates at the convention of Nationalists, which assembled today un- der the presidency of John Redmond On the motion of John Dillon resolution was adopted amid cheers to the effect that the South African war was entered upon in pursuance of a conspiracy to deprive two free nations of their liberty in the interest of capitalists and mine owners.
 William O'Brien introduced resolution excluding Timothy NJ. Healy from the parl- imentary party While their differences are of a personal character, ne urged that for the sake of unity MT Heaiy's exclusion was necessary. Timcthy Harrington, who was frequently interrupted, said that if the action of the delegates plunged the country back into the vortex of despair future gen. erations would curse the convection and those who participated in 1t.
 Great excitement marked the diseuss.o1 of MT. O'Brien's resolution which includes the explosion of J. L. Carew. The-e were loud shouts on all sides of "'put out all the Tims," which were met with counter demonstration by the Healyites.

Constitutional Convention Deleqates

When the primaries have named 133 dele gates corresponding to the number of both branches of the Legislature, the people will then have named by direct choice all but 9 members of the convention. Eighteen of the 22 must be apportioned among the nine Congressional districts, or two to a dis trict Whether this be done by Congress sional conventions or by a State conven- tion, or by primaries, does not matter per haps, although as rule primaries are vastly preferable to conventions because they are safer and infinitely more honest. But whatever the method of selection may nine members of Congress as one-half of the Congressional district representation? Nine men more conversant with law-mak- ing and broad methods could not readily be found in the State, and they would help frame a suffrage reform clause that they could defend whenever 1t was attacked in miliar with discussions of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and the consti- ,utional convention will occur when they can bring to 1t all the knowledge they may have acquired in Congress, for they will not be otherwise engaged.
 But when the Congressional selections c:e made. there remain four delegates to be selected. These places seem to have

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Love will find way, if it's only the way out.
 A mans idea of woman is theoretical a woman's idea of man is intuitive.
 Whenever a woman sees a telegram com ing she feels for her heart strings
 In order to be patriotic, women have first got to make patriotism into a fad.
 Nothing catches a woman quicker than a runaway match, unless it's a deathbed re- pentance.
 A mans revenge on woman for not hav- ing him Is to go and tell her all about his next love affair.
 A really brave man is the one who has the nerve to marry a girl after he hears her say she takes a cold bath every morn ing.
 No matter how big a brute he is nothing but surgical operation would convince the average woman that her husbands heart wasn't full of affection for her.
