OFFER
OF ONE CITIZEN
Mr.. William Meyer Will Head a List
Of 100 to Give 500 for
Public Library.

an indication Of how the pupilc
,ibrar,, scheme is striking some pnoi'e
.,;,;ted citizens, Mr. Willie Meyer said
Yesterday that he would pc "'ii's -
head the list of one hundred cltlzeio -
give 800 annually each for hNe years III
ordar to secure the 100000 offered the city
nv Mr. Carnegie, provided the city at
that time would take it up
..Tbere are certainly one hundred citi-
IONS who are sufficiently interested in the
establishment Of such an institution mere
who will give the sum of $500 toward
reaching that end" said Mr. Meyer.
There is little doubt that the matter
win no brought before the Chamber OF
Commerce, and it is not at all unlikely
that an effort will be made by that body
to secure at least a portion Of the money
needed by the city in order to accept Mr.
Carnegie's offer.
Some opposition exists in the Council
10 the approximation of so large a sum.
and there are some outside that BODY
who do not think any amount shoulo De
given by the city as long as there are SO
many needs for street and other improve
ments. Others still believe that the Coun-
Gil should make what appropriations they
can toward the improvement to the Me
chanics' Institute. Still, opponents OF the
propositions are few as compared TO the
overwhelming sentiment in favor OF &C
cepting the proposed gift of 100000, and
accepting it quickly.
The State law that allows cities ana
towns 70 make special tax assessments iof
the purpose OF conducting puolic libra
ries and reading-rooms. that Was passed
at the last regular session of the LeSis-
lature, as presented by lion. S. S. p.
Patteson, has created considerable COM
ment.
The educators OF the city. including the
School Board, and the attaches of the
department, and the State Board Of Edu-
cation, are earnest advocates of the pro-
position.
Mr. Caskie, chairman OF the Finance
Committee, is IN Washington. When he
returns there will probably be a called
meeting OF the Finance Committee The
next regular meeting of that committee
will be on the 18th instant.
Among the prominent citizens who have
expressed themselves in favor of securing
the library is DR.. E. n. Calisch. He.
approves Of either q special tax Or
slight reduction of certain appropriations.

SLASHING THE REVENUES.
If Republicans Do Anything in That
Line 1t Will Be for a
Bluff Only.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Chronicle states as a fact what
most observers have conjectured, that
the president and his cabinet are
much worried about the apparent ten
dency in congress to make a sweep
ing reduction of the revenues.
They are themselves chiefly to
blame for this apparent tendency.> The
president in his message and the sec
retary of the treasury in his report
gives prominence to the fact that
there was a surplus of nearly $780, ,O0O.-
900 during the last fiscal year, and
that there has been a proportionate
surplus thus far this year.
In every way they have sought to
give the people the impression that
the need of ''war taxes" was pro-
gressively passing away. They have no
good reason to be surprised, there
fore, if the representatives of the peo-
pie get this impression and overlook
the fact that these high officials fig
ure on very greatly increased eXpendi-
lures next year and mediate steps
necessitating greatly increased ex-
penditures for many years to come.
But the administration need not
worry. The house may push through
a measure of sweeping reduction for
popular effect. But the senate will
take good care that the reduction is
kept within bounds. By the time the
bill gets back to the house even Repre-
sentative Boutell, of Chicago, will have
got his eyes open wide enough to see
that his proposal to pass a bill pro-
viding for the abolition of all the ''war
taxes" the repeal to take effect as to
each tax at some stated time, is quite
impracticable.
Congress and the people may as well
face the truth at once that the most
of the so-called war revenue is going
to be needed for many years to come.
They may as well face the truth that
we shall never again get down to the
former scale of expenditure; that as
war has always in the past necessi-
tated a permanent increase, so it will
in the present case even more than in
the past. And the politicians will
soon be teaching the people that high
taxes and great expenditures are good
things for them and somehow put
money in their pockets.-Chicago
Chronicle.

REDUCTION OF TAXATION.
Little Prospect of Such Thing
Being Done by the Re-
pubIicans.

The proposed reduction of revenue
as announced by the ways and means
committee amounts to $40,000,000. In
asmuch as the estimated surplus for
next year is $SO,000,0OO, a wide mar
gin of safety - too wide, one might
think - is retained. But the ship
subsidy bill will make heavy de-
mands, and with the elastic provision
in the army bill, there is no telling
what additional expense the army
may require. The objects selected for
reduced taxation cannot be altogeth-
er commended. Why the tax on beer,
cigars and wines should be reduced
does not appear, for the stamp tax
is still retained on corporate stocks
Gates of profit, entry of goods at GUS
tom houses and other things of sim
liar character. 1t is to be regretted
also that with the opportunity af-
forded by the surplus there is no
thought or intention of reducing taxes
in other directions.
The tariff ought to be amended.

this country, are sold abroad at a
lower rate than here at home. We
apparently are so enamored of tax
ing ourselves for the benefit of our
rich men that it does not cause even
protest. 1t must, surely, in time,
however. While we are growing in
wealth and population, we are also
growing necessarily in the cost of
government. With our expanding
army and navy, with our ship subsidy
projects, our isthmian canals, and
with the steadily increasing pension
list, we shall require each year
larger expenditure 1t may be then
that we shall happen on an hour
when the voice of sanity that shall
plead for taxation to be levied as
nearly as possible on all alike, and
to be so levied as to give special privi-
leges to none, will be heard; and we
may then hope, and not until then,
to have something like the spirit of
fairness in the adjustment of our pub
lie burdens.-Indianap News.

AN ENEMY TO DRINK.
One Woman who has Done Great Deal
to put Down this Evil.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. II, 1900
(SpeciaD When the Independent Or
der of Good Templars of Minnesota
wanted a State Organizer. they chose
Mrs. Laura j. Smith, of 1917 West 33rd
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason is
not far to seek. This gifted woman has
devoted her life to a battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her infiu-
ence for good in Minnesota is and has
been very far reaching.
About two years ago, however, it
seemed as if this noble woman would
have to give up her philan nthropic work.
Severe pains in her back and under her
shoulder blades, made life a burden
and work impossible. Physicians were
consulted, and they prescribed for
Kidney Disease. Three months treat
ment, however, failed to give Mrs.
Smith any relief. Her husband was
much exercised, and cast about him for
something that would restore his good
wife to health and strength. He heard
of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney
Pills. and advised her to try them,
which she did. She is now well wom-
an and says:
''Two weeks after I commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills, felt much
better, and at the end of seven weeks
was completely cured. I have had no
recurrence of the trouble, but I take
pill off and on, and find that it keeps me
in good health"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers at so cents box.
They are easily within the reach Of
all, and no woman can afford to suffer,
when such simple and sure Remedy
is at hand.

corners from strolling vendors, who
sell them in superheated state. Ex'
perts in the development and use OF
chestnuts say that they should be
purchased from green grocers, taken
home, and either boiled or roasted,
and Immediately used. They are also
regarded as wholesome and nutritious
when eaten raw, with plenty of salt
and little pepper. People usually
regard nuts of all varieties as luxu-
ries, but the department of agri-
culture says they should be regarded
as food, and should be studied as
such. 1t is said that peanuts as well
as chestnuts, properly prepared, are
good for dyspepsia and other stom-
ach ailments This seems rather
singular at first, because the prevail
ing popular impression has long been
that these nuts are indigestible.
