PENSIONS EXEMPT FROm TAX.
HBEON.

Judge I. M. Fee of Centerville has
just rendered an opinion that rs the
first upon which tine question at issue
has ever been touched. 1t is the case
of Calvin Nlanning, guardian of
John Schwabkey,, against j. HI. Spry,
treasurer of Wapello, county, in which
the county seeks to- collect the taxes
upon the interest and notes belonging
to plaintiff, which it was claimed was &C.
s9uired from pension money. Judge Fee
holds that pension money in the hands
of a guardian, or notes in his hands as
guardian taken for pension money, is
not subject to ta8asion. This Is the
first decision in the. United States on
the question.
John Schwabkey was an inmate of the
county farm from 1856 until 1850 or
$3.50, as utterly and hopelessly insane.
During the war of the rebellion he had
been soldier in the regular army.
Through the efforts of attorney $. s..
Adler, in 1889 a pension was secured for
MIR. Schwabkey, dating from the close of
the civil war, and at the rate of So per
month. Charles =. Blake of this city
was then appointed guardian OF the I'M
fortunate man. Attorney Adler drew
from the government at that time as
pension for his client a sum amounting
to nearly $4,000.
The guardian Immediately took the
psnsioner from the county farm, and
employed private parties to care for
him at an expense Of 500 per month.
MIR. Baker, as guardian, then loaned out
what money he had received from the
government as pension money at 6per
cent interest. On the death of Mr..
Blake, Calvin Manning was regularly
appointed guardian in his place and
has acted in that capacity ever since.
BY reason OF the interest received on
the money loaned and the regular pen
sion to Mr.. Schwabkey of $72 per month,
the amount now in the guardians hand
will aggregate about $4,000.
Tax ferrets working on back taxes Of
Wapelo county some time since, put
back taxes on the notes and moneys in
the hands of the guardian to the amount
of nearly 50 900. M. Manning at once
instituted suit praying for an injunction
restraining the collection of said taxes
from the guardian, on the ground that
said notes being received from pension
money were not subject to taxation.-

The last bulletin of the Chicago
health department has alarmed that
metropolis. since the figures for tbe
third quarter Of the year indicate an
increase OF typhoid Of 273 per cent.
over that of the first six months. The
average autumnal increase has been
heretofore only 20 per cent. The de-
partment fails to find any connection
between the increase in typhoid cases
and the milk Or ice su2p.y.
There is nothing left to blame it on
but the water supply. The Chronicle of
that city believes that while the i'm
proved conditions have improved the
drinking water. it is dangerous folly
there as in every other part % tie
glooe to risk drinking unboilel water
not positively known to come from an
unpolluted and perfectly guarded
source Our contemporary adds
To boil drinking water and let it cool so
to render it palatable for consumption
is so simple a process that they who fail
to resort to it are crminally careless.
An epidemic of typhoid fever i'll Con-
necticut last year was traced directly to
contaminated drinking water. Typhoid in
the camps of South Africa has been ex
cessive and is largely attributed to impure
water. The mortality rate is pheuome-
nally high in the typhoid cases on ac-
count OF lack of proper precautions
against its spread and inadequate hospital
equipment.
The case of Chicago points a moral
which all communities would do we'll TO
heed. 1t is probably not so much Chi
eago's contaminated water supply as
the city's general uncleanliness that is
responsible for the increase Of typhoid.
Although laying the blame chiefly or
the water supply, which however.
comes from far out in the lake. our
Chicago contemporary makes this s'g-
nifcant admissions:
Miserable financing. wretched direction
Of municipal forces compel US to face a
typhoid winter with filth in layers over
vast areas of the town. Decaying gar
bage furnishes nests for various microbes,
fever germs rife in offal of all kinds in
alleys and along the streets of the poorer
portions of tho city.
The impression is erroneous that nox-
ious germs can develop in only warm'
weather Development is slower in cool
wea her, but it is I o less certain.
The best guard against typhoid and
most diseases, for that matter is It
temperate life and prudence in eating,
drinking and resting, and scrupulous
regard for cleanliness

THE, NOLI>EJy CASE.

No more striking instance of the pos
sibilities of the laws delay" is 10 be
found than in the case of Roland 3.
Molineux. who after long and most
costly trial for murder Of Kate j.
Adams nearly three years ago which
trial resulted in his conviction and SEN
tence to death, has just been granted
a new trial and declared presumably
innocent by the New York Court of
Appeals. on the ground that certain ev-
idence introduced against him was r.
relevant because not directly connected
with the specific crime charged.
If Roland Molineux is innocent he
has been unjustly deprived for more
than two years Of his liberty, year
and half Of which he has been in
States prison under suspended sentence
OF death. Moreover sif he is not guilty
there is now small likelihood of ever
finding the person who committed this
crime, since. as a New York contem-
porary points out. there has during all
this time been no effort. and in conse-
Quence Of the pending proceedings no
chance. to follow new line of pursuit
fcr the perpetrator of the deed Any
trail that existed may have become Oh

There seems to be most exasperat-

MoNneux is innocent where is ne 10 get
redress? in either case what becomes
OF the vindication OF the law?

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN
VIII BE Formally Opened BY the Re-
pubIicans Mt Delaware, To-Day.

COLUMBUS, p, October l8.-The
gubernatoial campaign in Ohio is on in
full blast Although the Republican
committee has been busy for six weeks,
night and day, the opening of the
campaign will be celebrated with due
eclat at Delaware. Saturday. Car loads
of Republican office seekers are pre-
pairing to leave Columbus on early
trains and Cincinnati Cleveland and
Toledo as well as the country imme-
diately surrounding Delaware will.send
delegations to hear Nash, LiPpert and
Hanna tell about the wheat crop and
how the Republicans made it SO.
An effort was made to send delega-
tion of laboring men from here. but
the effort failed. Aside from the usual
attendance of professional heelers and
office hunters, there will be no special
delegation except a train load of color
ed voters.
Chairman Dougherty. of the Demo-
cratic committee has taken up head
quarters with the committee and will
remain at his post until after the cleo
ton. He is seriously handicapped
because of lack of funds to cope
with the heavy finances of his oppon-
ents. but the prospects of electing
Democratic governor in Ohio this fall
are conceded to be brighter than they
have been for years.
Col Kilbourne refuses to express an
opinion as to results, but he realizes
that laborer and farmer are with him
and this means in the State this year,
since the registration in the cities has
fallen hopelessly short of last yeah.
The Democratic opening will be at
BucyI'us. the 10Th inst. Great prepare
tions are being made for a successful
meeting and all present indications
point to a realization of that nope.

He Does Not Believe That the Navy

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 1S.-
Congressman Aston G. Dayton, of
West Virginia, member of the House
Naval Committee, to-day reiterated his
views on the necessity of adding to the
strength of the American navy, saying
Il do not believe that the sentiment
of this country will tolerate for q mo-
ment the idea that the American navy
is a finished product or that its in
crease is to be checked because We are
in times of peace. If we are to build
an isthmian canal and hold our pos
sessions in the Pacific, we have got to
realize that the proper thing to do is
to have defenses ready and for these
defenses we have got to depend on the
navy more than anything else
Mr.. Dayton was asked regarding his
idea of tariff revision by the next Con-
gress
Il do not hesitate to say" he an
swered, that | have no sympathy at
all with Mr.. Babcock's tariff revision.

fact that there will still be surplus
of revenues. In the present era of I'M
exampled prosperity. the banks have a
surplus; anybody who wants to work
has a surplus. and | do not see that it
is going to be a very dangerous thing
for the treasury of the United States
to have a surplus. | think there are
many things for which we can spend

ever, fair and equitable reciprocity

tend to increase and build up our mar
kets; and | certainly think those treat
les, we'll and carefully made and con-
sidered, would afford far better means
of settling all questions of tariff than is
presented by attempting a revision.
Il have been trying to ascertain
where there was any demand 10. tl'iT
revision. and cannot find I anywhere.
Even the Democratic pa - does not
,dare mention free trade IDEAS, and it
would seem to me to be p,terly foolish
for the Republican part to think of it
in any way

THE NEW YORK; CAMPAIGN.

New York's biennial Tammany tiger
hunt is especially interesting and novel
this year. While both Republican and
Democratic candidates are generally ac.
knowledged to be men of unimpeachable
integrity, and while both have emphat-
ieally repudiated their respective cor
rupt party machines, all the influential
papers Of New York, both Democratic
and Republican, are opposing Mr.. shep-
ards candidacy. since rammany, al
though he has expressly repudiated that
organization, nevertheless supports him.
1t is remarkable feature of New
York city campaigns that although the
entire press. regardless OF party, Is al
ways opposed to Tammany. Tammany
rarely fails to get the majority OF the
votes. And this cannot be charged to
