The ways and means committee of
the lower house of congress has de-
cided to submit bill reducing the
war revenue tax some $3O,OOO,OOO a
year. The chances are that this will
be the only reduction for a long time,
but the people should be thankful for
small favors. They are lucky that the
war tax is not increased a hundred
millions instead of reduced thirty
millions.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

John Chinaman may as well give
up the notion that he is ever going
to get the hated foreign soldiers out
of his Flowery Kingdom. In fact
it begins to look very much as though
having gotten good foothold that
the powers" are going to divide up
the celestial empire after the fashion
of the Roman soldiers upon a certain
historical or allegorical occasion. The
denials of "ulterior" motives by the
various powers was taken with
grain of salt at the time they were
made, by those accustomed to believe
from experience that language was
given diplomats to conceal their
thoughts. Indeed if there was any
means of getting at the truth, it
would probably be shown that the
Boxer" movement was encouraged
and stimulated if not actually origin
ated by one of the several powers"
for the purpose of furnishing an ex.
cuse for getting soldiers into China
and keeping them there.
The Armenian massacres were I'M

barbarous ferocity tina, the world

planned, and she expected to step in

If the reports are true, Papa Zim-
norman, whose daughter recently
married the bankrupt Duke of Man
chester, is going to make the best OF
an apparently bad bargain. The
word apparently is used advisedly,
and is supported by the general result
of marriages between American heir
esses and titled foreigners. Such
matches, as rule. have a basis Of
silly ambition on one side and mer.
cenary motives on the other. But
there have been exceptions and per-
haps this latest union of an Ameri-
can fortune with an English title may
prove to be one of them. Mr. Elm.
norman, it is said, instead of giving
the young couple barrel of money
SO that they may live in luxury and
idleness, will set the Duke up in bus
mess so that he can earn his own
living and be able to support his wife
in becoming style. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that Mr.. Zimmermans good
sense will be rewarded by seeing the
Duke take hold of the proposition in
manly and aggressive manner. Agood
American business man is about 200
per cent higher in the scale of true
nobility than 80 per cent of the titled
degenerates who compose the Brit
ish peerage.

BILLS.
Oh, the bills,

Ceaseless bills!
What world of happiness the end
less coming kills!
How they keep ON multiplying
AS the toiler, tolls away,
Bravely trying, trying, trying
while his wife is buying, buying)
To get even with the world again
some day.
Grocery bills,
Butchers bills,
Bills for water, bills for plumbing.
for coal,
Bills that rend the patient heart and
warp the soul!
Bills for milk,
And bills for silk;
Bills for thread
And bills for bread!
Doctors bills and dentists bills;
Servants bills and nurses bills
Bills that make the victim wish
that he were dead
And forever free from bills, bills.
bills;
Out of sight and out of hearing of
the one who give him chills
With their bills
With accents on the bills
The discouraging and everlasting
bills, bills, bills, bills, bills, bills:
The accommodating terrors of the
bills!
Here a victim Yields the hammer or
the saw;
There another delves i'll musty books
of law,
And here one slowly scratches with
the pen,
Signing sadly,
AS he madly
Tries to think of things that maybe
when in print, will tickle men.
Is it fame
They would claim.
Does the porter or the teamster
merely strive to win name
That will make his children proud or
him, some day?
Does the writer or the lawyer
Or the merchant or the sawyer
Strive away
Just because it's fun to do so, or
from force of habit? Nay:
The bills
The never ending bills there are
to pay
Make the joker think of funny
things to say,
Make the lawyer thunder fiercely at
the bar,
Keep the sallow motorman with
the chills
OF death upon him clinging to his
car!
0 the bills,
The bills, bills, bills.
From the markets and the
mills
And the mines beneath the
hills
Come the bills,
Come the soul-destroying bills,
Come the bills for little shirts,
And for little coats and caps,
Come the bills for swishing skirts
And for feathers and for wraps
And for squills,
And for castor oil and pills.
The steady stream of bills, bills, bills,
bills, bills,
The never-ceasing bother of tn .

Harvest is progressing slowly ow-
ing to the warm and rainy weather,
and some Of the grain is spelling in
the shock. Several horses have been
overcome with the heat, some dying,
but Others seem to be slowly getting
over the bad effects.
The crops in this vicinity seem to
be a great deal better than in most
localities, but will be below the aver
age. Wheat is about all cut and
about all that is left to cut is late
oats and fax.
The Wanger teachers are back
from training school and appear to

E. L. Mutt is on the sick list this
week but not dangerously i'll.
Owing to the severe illness of Mrs.

j. r. Mutt lost valuable colt this
week. It got into the wire fence and
was so badly cut that it was necessa-

Last week was a pretty bad week
for harvesting. The farmers were not
able to do anything in their fields as
large portions of them were covered
with water and the remainder was
consequently too soft for binder to
pass over. But now it isIdrying up
pretty fast, and soon there won't be
many spots that can't be crossed with
a binder.
Sunday the roads were very bad,

the rest OF the time till past midnight
was devoted to social games outside
Much pleasure was the result. Ed

While at variance with the elements
as to favorable weather, we have
wheat cut, shocked and re-shocked !:
all the first cut wheat, which caught
the heavy rains and hot weather com
menced moulding and sprouting and
had tobe rehandled to dry. There is
great waste this season in saving the
wheat; 1t is short for binding, and
shells after the dews are off, and the
acknowledgements still more. It can
truly be termed an off year.
The storm of last week struck the
portion tof Wm. Cronkhite's farm
which had his buildings on, twisted
and partly tore down new eighty
foot granary, taking it off it's founda-
ton. The wheat in shock, just a few
rods from it, was not even uncapped

DESIRE OF STOCK MEN.
They Wish to Lease All Public Lands
Suitable for Grazing.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 1S.-The de-
liberations of the national livestock con-
vention to-day were mainly on the fol-
lowing resolution:
"That such of the public lands of the
United States as are adapted for grazing
should be subject to lease by stockmen who
are citizens. at a reasonable rental and
under such conditions as will tend to pre-
serve grasses from destruction and improve
the value of grasses thereon"
Action was first taken upon the amend
ment of Mr.. Mckay, of Utah, that the, reso-
luton be voted down. The subject was dis
cussed throughout the morning session, and
the amendment was lost by vote Of 32S to
2T. The original resolution was then
passed. Sheep men and cattle men Of
smaller means will, 1t is said. continue to
oppose the passage of the bill now in Con-
gress, and 1t is believed they will send a
| delegation to Washington in advocacy of
their interests.

change by the railroads from carload rates
to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rates. 1t also in
dorsed resolution asking the Department
of Agriculture to investigate the parasite
disease of sheep.
A resolution was passed demanding the
restoration to feed in transit-rate privi-
leges recently abrogated by the railroad
companies. 1t is claimed that by the abo-
lition of this rate stockmen all over the

ABUSES IN CUBAN LAWS.
Senior Laxuna Suggests How They
May BE Eliminated.

HAVANA, Jan. 1S.-Senor Lanuza, who
was secretary Of justice in the advisory
cabinet of General Brooke, said to-day:
Three American and three Cuban lawyers.
acting as a commission, could reform GER
tain abuses in Cuban laws without injuring
the general consistency of the system,
and the whole country would gain by such
a reformation. This work of reform is only
a question of time, and the abuses must be
swept away. Many of the well-established
legal institutions and principles of the
United States would work we'll here, espe-
cially as Americans are coming here in
large numbers: but in the reconstruction
of the Cuban legal system the guiding
principle must be the leading character
of the Cubans themselves. In Cuba 1t is
extremely difficult to get witnesses against
persons charged with criminal offences.
Take the alleged custom house frauds as
an illustration. A Cuban judge has a Sc
rious difficulty to contend with in the fact
that Cubans have not been taught the
sanctity of an oath. For a few centenes
witnesses can be purchased right and left
At the same time legal proceeding in the
provinces would be greatly facilitated by
the establishment of circuit courts, which
would reduce the travelling expenses of lit
