soME RARE OLD WINES.

There was a notable little banquet at
the Manhattan Club, New York, few
days ago-notable chiefly for the wines
served to the half-dozen or so of per-
sons present Justice Van Brunt con-
tributed bottle of Moulton Roths-
child OF 1873. worth S35 per quart
Perry Belmont was there, and his share
was some Ste.nberg Cabinet of 1862,
worth a dollar for each year it was old.
Justice ,"Truax presented magnum of
Chambertin of 1870. 1t might be had
for $50 a magnum, if one knew where
to get it. Justice Gildersleeve modest
ly invited his friends to sample bot
tie of Marcobrunner, forty-three years
old and Ashbel P. Fitch asked the COM
pany to imbibe a little old Court"
sherry of the vintage of 1860, worth
$50 per bottle, when it can be had. R.
A. C. Smiths offering was bottle of
Due de Montebello, labeled 1880, and
priced at SIS, and William s. Rode
thought his Chareau de st. Meme re-
serve, 1880, was pretty good, especially
as anybody could obtain $50 per bottle
for II. A little twentyyear-old whisky,
at SIS per quart, ended somewhat
pleasant occasion.

AN EXPLANATION.

A leading member of Congress puts it
this way: THE administration is
really in hole about our colonial pos
sessions and that accounts for the
President reversing himself as to what
is popularity termed his plain duty
If Porto Rico had been the only ques-
tion, it would have been plain sailing;
but, unfortunately, there was the Phil
ippines. If we admitted that the Con-
stitution followed the flag in Porto Rico
we would have been compelled to make
the same rule work as to the Pacific
islands, and quite a number of millions
of various sorts of people would have
become American citizens. We could
have stood the Porto Ricans, for they
are not half bad, but we had to draw
the line on the Filipinos, and so Porto
Rico was ruled out. That explains the
whole thing. Now the matter is pend
ing in the Supreme Court, and if til 1T
tribunal decides that the Constitution
is in Porto Rico we will have to con-
cede that it is in the Philippines as we'll
and will be compelled to make arrange
ments to dispose of those islands, either
through giving the native some pretense
o. independence, or by plain ordinary
barter and SALE He adds, however,
that the Court may appreciate the deli
cate situation" and decide in such a
manner as not to embarrass the govern
ment.
This is all very refreshing, but is OBJ
viously nothing but the plain unvar-
nished truth.

war Taxes and the surplus.

AVE- " i tAh IlcEdkU-
ne Spanish war was of very short
duration and it ended more than two
years ago, yet the burdensome taxes inn
posed 10 cover its possible cost are still
in full force.
Business interests are clamoring for
relief and inveighing against the policy
OF riding the pockets of the many to
pile up in the treasury a surplus which
serves only to incite extravagant appro-
priatons and Pob-and-job schemes for
uhe profit OF the few.
President Mckinley told the Cabinet
yesterday that his message would rec
ommend a reduction of only twenty MIL
hons In these taxes, which is about
one-ffth of o. total yield. A re-
moyal OF the duty OF ten cents a pound
on tea has been asked. but this will not
be granted, for fear of opening up the
subject of tariff revision.
Where is this partial reduction to be
made? Medicinal and other proprie-
tary articles last year yielded a little
more than four millions, and there is
strong pressure to have the stamp tax
on these removed, as ii affects even
household remedies The brewers de-
mand reduction OF a round thirty-fiye
millions. The stamps on checks and
documents last year yielded about thIr-
ty-six and one-half millions.sand there
is constant complaint OF the ANNOYANCE
as well as the burden of this tax.
The Ways and Means Committee is
now considering to which interests it
will give the benefit OF the proposed
cut" Despite enormous and extrava-
giant disbursements. the government
receipts were eigthy-one millions in ex-
cess Of expenditures for the fiscal year
ended June 80. Receipts since then
have been three and one-half millions
larger than for the corresponding per-
iod of last year, while expenditures
have increased four millions. so that the
surplus to date is about the same as a
year ago-about eight millions.
Nearly all the excess OF revenue ac-
eumulates in the latter half OF the fiscal
year. and the Notwithstanding the
continuance OF military operations on a
large scale in the Philippines--is for a
surplus as large as that of last year.
This is offering a premium for extrava-
gance on the part of Congress and the
administration in order to get rid OF
the money Twenty millions of re-
duction is not enough. All the extra
war taxes could be abolished, TO the
relief Of business interests and with
good effect upon the administration OF
national affairs

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY
BARS HO0DLUMISM,
Chicago Chronicle.

chicago Chronicle
Students of the University of Chi
cago have been officially notified that
no lawlessness will be tolerated within
its precincts.
1t is high time educational inst!tu-
tons reached the decision that youth
full lawlessness in connection with
their life is just as criminal as ike
conduct in other places. A hoodlum
is hoodlum whether in cane rush on
a campus OF in brawl on a frontier
Indeed, the frontier riots are charac-
terized often by more manliness and
more humanity than develop in cole
giate outbreaks where the brawny, the
big and the pretentious cripple or kill
the weak or the puny.
Historic invasion by male buffoons
of women's apartments in some OF che
eo-educational universities would be
held cowardly and brutal on the plans.
There is no more logic in tolerating
hoodlumism in colleges than in draw
ingrooms. The man of any age who
makes ruffian of himself ought to be
subjected to the penalties of the law,
whether he be an aspirant for degree
or drunken lout on public thor
oughfare. The drunken lout Is the
more entitled to compassion.
he people of Chicago welcome the
stand taken by the university author
ity. They expect TO find President
Harper unflinchingly enforcing civil
as we'll as moral law within the build
ings and grounds in his jurisdiction.
If students make hoodlums Of
themselves outside the university pre-
cincts municipal authority will see
that they are treated TO their 'deserts.
Once the determination of the uni
versity authority is understood as final
on the subject of hoodlumism there
will be an end to it. The University
of Chicago will wear worthy feather
in its mortar board if it establish the
precedent which will purge American
higher education of the hoodlumism
which has so long disgraced its under
graduate annals.
In the gymnasium, the field, the
sports and the games of the university
OF to-day there is ample outlet .or all
many spirit. Youth which cannot
thus exploit its health and vigo-, bnt
must resort to hoodlumism, belongs in
reformatories, not in colleges.
"Hoodlum: young, hectorirg
street rowdy; one of a gang of ruffians;

WE KICK THE CHAP THAT'S powx

This Is queer old world OF ours. just as
it's always been.
It Is made up of hills and daIes az vro~n
en- and of men;
And while a host is ever near the one thar
wins 10 crown.
A goOdly number are about to kick the
chap that's down
" hoover strives in any line ana vrae.s
with great success
The world will sit up half the night 10
hatter 10 excess,
But woe to him who tries ana fafIs-ba
gets chilling frown
Because 50 many still delight to ktck the
chap that's down.
And 50 l fancy twill remain down 20 the
end Of time,
Since human natures bout the sarnA in
every age and cline;
A man has always been . man. a clown
has been a clown,
So there viii always be a crowd TO kick
the chap that's down.

ment" AS result Mr.. Conger has
stood for the amputation OF numerous
heads still upon the shoulders of high
and guilty officials, among them Prince
Tuan and General Tung-Fu-S Slang, the
latter the commander of the soldiers
about the Chinese Court. To have
Siang's men remove their own COM
mander from this vale of tears is obvi-
iously difficult if not an impossible
performance, even if the Empress Dow
ager and the Emperor were inclined to
meet the demand, while as TO-, Prince
Tuan, he has been degraded AMI BAN
ished to some far off province, and that
is, apparently, about all that is to be
expected at present. Mr.. Conger, how
ever, insists, and Washington is unhap-
Ply. The net result is deadlock be-
tween the representatives of the pow
ers at Peking, although there is a ru-
NOR from Berlin that the Ministers are
agreed upon main points, but this is
doubted. The German idea of severity
does not meet with the approval of
Russia, France and the United States,
the latter rs expressed by Secretary
Hay, and in this dilemma the attitude
of Japan becomes of The utmost i'm
portance. Originally that powe' was
disposed to policy of great leniency,
but of late this may have been changed.
The whole situation is complicated anu
intricate to wonderful degree and Il
satisfactory solution is still far out of
sight

The Duty OF Democracy.

st. Louis Republic.
Under the leadership OF reunited
and recognized democracy the resist
ance of the American people to the ON
nous encroachmentS upon popular
rights made by the unduly privileged
trust monopolies will be continued with
increased vigor and a certain comb
denee of the final victory OF the people
over the combines. 1t remains for
the Democratic national organization
TO put itself in effective shape for the
performance of its duty to the people
of this country. Its strongest AMI
safest men, those inspiring the fullest
confidence on the part OF thoughtful
Americans, must be placed In control
OF the party. In behalf OF legitimate
business interests and of the individual
as opposed to that evil of monopoly
which threatens all legitimate enter-
prise the trusts must be fought to
finish.

The Committee of One Hundred pur-
poses to inaugurate its active partici-
patton in the coming city campaign by
turning out at the ward suggestion
meetings and proposing names of can
didates fer the primaries There can be
no proper objection to that. AS mat
ter of fact, too many men have re-
manned away from these meetings in
past years, and then objected to and
criticized the nominees.
