The War Tax.

According to a Washington dis
patch there is likely to be no consid-
cradle reduction of the war taxes, at
present, although distinct assurances
to that effect we're given prior to the
adjournment of congress in June. 1t
seems that Mr.. Payne, of this state,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, has been comforting with
the president. He will call a meet
ing of the republican members of that
committee on November 20 to arrange
a plan of action, but it is announced
that the reduction is not likely to ex-
coed $15,oOosOO o annually. 1t was ex-
pected that the war taxes would be
cut in two. a reduction of $4,000, 900
a year. Evidently Senator Depew's
prohphecy in 1898 as to the cost of
President McKinley's Philippine pol
icy was much nearer the truth than
the average campaign speech.-AI-

The sweets of a whole summer fair,
In n rude wagon piled;
The fragrant breath of warm. still rains
The scent Of strawberries in green lanes,
Faint petals blown from roses wild.

And ttnkiing with the notes

That nod to belted bees.

Plucks shamrocks on an Irish hill,
A gamin cheers and chaffs;

A sunburnt world that laughs.
And long and long the sweetness stays,
And cheers and cools the heated ways,
Like happy news from home,

Look dow as If, by meadow bars.
Their rays touched clover bloom.

wages, or is simply lucky.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
We do not believe it possible for
congress to reach all of the trusts.
Some OF them are under the exclusive
control of states. But congress can
lay its hand on tariff-prctected, mo-
nopolistic extortioners and put a stop
to fragrant abuses of protection. It
can do this without reducing either

Trust Servers.

Mr.. McKin.ey's first administration
was devoted to faithful service in be-
half of the trusts at the expense of
the American people. Under no other
president had there been witnessed
so complete a sacrifice Of the rights
of the many to the privileges of the
few. The American government was
transformed into a caste government
the very evil most dreaded by its
founders, and against which they
most strenuously warned those who
should come after them. The result
has been a tremendous increase of
trust formations and q trust power
so great that the combines were en-
abled to reflect to the presidency the
man who had so signaily represented
their interests in the government

SKIPPING FISH WITHOUT ICE.
Experiments by the United States
Fish Commission Looking
to This End.

The difficulty of keeping their mer-
chandise fresh is a cause of great
trouble and loss to fish dealers and
shippers. Ice is only partly satisfac-
tory, inasmuch as it's use has a tenden-
cy to deprive the fish of flavor and firm
ness, while the. moisture from its melt
ing hastens decay. Hence it has been
the desire of the United States fish
commission to devise some other meth
cd by which fish may be preserved, and
recently experiments with this end in
view have been conducted at Woods
Holl. says Youths Companion.
Bluefish, weakish and bonito were
used for the purpose. In the first ex-
pertinent "a weakish were taken alive
from the nets, carefully dressed, and
washed with a one per cent. solution Of
s~alicylic acid in sea water. Notwith-
standing the well-known pr~eservative
quality of salicylic acid. this trial was a
total failure. So likewise was the next
experiment, which was made with a five
per cent. solution of formaldehyde.
Blu very different and entirely success
full results were obtained by the use of
boric acid.
"CAtS-1OuA "CdhASA. 1ICSA1S hIi1Cu
and dressed, were washed with a three
per cent. solution of boric acid in sea
water. Twenty-four hours later they
looked as if they had just come out of
the sea, the flesh being hard and firm
and the eyes clear, though no ice had
been used. 1t was hot weather, and
other weakfish, killed and dressed at
the same time with these, but not
treated with boric acid. were in adj
vanced stages of putrefaction. One of
those preserved with boric acid was
cooked and eaten and found to be ex-
cellent.
This promises to be a most important
discovery. The fishes thus treated are
in no sense "embalmed," but. after the
removal of the yiscera, the inside of
each is simply washed with a sponge
that has been dipped in the solution.
This must be done Immediately after
the capture of the fish. If the latter
are thrown about, left for awhile be-
fore being dressed, and then put in
barrels, the p~reservative process will
not work satisfactorily.
The conclusion drawn is that the
boric acid solution retards decay in it's
first stages, being so effective even in
hot summer weather that there is time
to get the fish to market, where it may
be iced and kept fresh for a long time.
The acid is not used as a preservatiye
in the ordinary sense, but as an agent
of cleanliness. As each fish is merely
sponged over, the amount of the fluid
that remains on it is very small. Its
employment can have no injurious ef-
feet on the consumer. One important
point in its favor is that it prevents the
formation of ptomaipes, which are
sometimes so dangerous.

going the way of all aborigines whose

whites. They may not become abso-

Great questions Of policy, of ma.

as the battle smoke cleared away,

tory. The war with Spain is un-
like its predecessors. 1t has not
answered questions, but has crea-
ted problems which may not be
