delighted with them. They occur

have resulted in great advantage.
President Hill furnishes free
transportation to so farmers of

HAS President Mckinley dreams
of a third term-of carrying the
solid south? The ungenerous
lay such an ambition at his door.
Let no man mistake the courtesy
paid the president of the United
States for an evidence of personal
or political popularity. It is the
great Office that is being honored
by the south, as it will be in the
west and north, when it comes
this way. Mckinley is president
Of the United States, and FORUM
ately the democratic south is as
much a part of the nation as the
republican north, which, by a
majority of a few thousand votes,
now controls the administration.

IT is useless to ignore the fact
that there is growing opposition
to the death penalty. This is
shown in the increasing difficulty
of securing convictions which
involve that penalty. There are
probably hundreds of murderers
at large today who owe their
immunity from punishment to the
reluctance of jurors to the taking
of life by the state. This may be
illogical, squeamishly sentimental
and all that, but it is a matter of
which Legislators are bound to
take account. To fix penalties of
which public sentiment does not
secure the enforcement is danger
GUS lawmaking.

DEBTS OF THE WORLD.

That the national debts of the
world should now reach total of
$780, 00,O00,000, which is just ten
times as much as the world owned
at the close Of the eighteenth
century, is fact containing ma.
terial for interesting thought.
BY far the reater part of this
gigantic aggregate is the result Of
wars or Of maintained prepared
ness for Wars. 70 just this
extent the showing is a rebuke to
civilization and proof of costly
savagery still remaining in the
blood of the human race. But
there is also a large proportion of
the worlds debts which tells of
the worlds improvement, of
educational progress, Of great
works # obstruction !or the
general good, of the increased
happiness of the various civilized
peoples, Of the completer COM
fort and beauty of life. 10 just
this extent is marked our advance
in the right directien-away from
wars and hatred all conquest;
following, instead, the paths of
peace, which lead to the uplifting
Of humanity. It is cherished
belief of optimistic souls that the
twentieth century will witness the
worlds most notable advance
toward peace and the true civil
zation which means the final
abolishing of war. It is good to
think that the statement of the
worlds debts at the beginning of
the twentieth century will be the
last in which the cost of war will
surpass and ove1shadow all other
human expenditures. It is better
to hope that national debts and the
taxation Of the peoples will de-
crease in the future, and that what
is spent by the various nations of
earth will not be spent for blood
shed and rapine, but for the
gentler and nobler things of life,
the fastening Of that era of
universal brotherhood which is the
dream of the worlds most conf
dent and friendly souls.

HAVE WE A GOVERNMENT?

If the Morgans, Hills, Rookie
fellers, Vanderbilts and a half
dozen other multimillionaries own
and control all our lines of trans
portation, and all our mines, and
all our staple industries, besides
controlling all our banks, what is
there left for the people? If, by a
stroke of the pen, these financial
magnets can make or break the
prosperity of any one section of a
country, can take from this town
and add to that, can ruin one
district to build up another; if
they can name the prices we must
pay for every article we consume,
can establish q rate. at which we
must sell our products, if indeed
they leave us the privilege of pro-
ducing anything we can call our
own; and if they can make a
schedule of rates of transportation
to all points, for freight and
passengers, which We must pay,
we may fairly ask what functions
are left to the government of the
country? A government Is sup
posed to be organized for the
purpose of securing the greatest
good to the greatest number of
those under it's jurisdiction. But
if every avenue once open to
individual effort is now closed; if
competition is killed, and willingly
or unwillingly, We re forced by
our necessities to buy from and
sell to the same syndicate, then
liberty is tbrottled; If this state
of affairs ! contine, if these
financial magnets re to "v, II
earth, and all the fruits thereof,
the rest of US had o,-''er g- of
the planet ana let them run the
world themselves. What kind oil
a government is that which, within
the limits of it's jurisdiction
permits the existence of an "sim.
perium in imperio'' that threatens
the stability of every individual
industry, that discourages the
investment of money n individual.
enterprise, that makes its OWL
interests superior to the interests
Of the nation at ONE and abroad
It is no government, it is farce
If it is not fraud.

The British income tax since
1853 has ranged from two pence
on the pound to Is. Id. The low
rate was in the fiscal years 1874
1875 and 1675-1S76, while tho
maximum was in the years 1856
1856 and 1856 1857. In the fiscal
year 1S56-1S57 the Is. I'D. rate pro-
duce sel6,OOO,OOO, the largest sum
collected until the fiscal year 1896
1896, when on the eight pence a
pound rate the amount produced
was the same as that on the Is. i'd.
basis thirty-nine years earlier.
She income tax receipts have
increased since 1896 until the
returns for lS99-l9O0 were selS,-
100000 on a basis Of s pence. II
1900 the rate was raised to one
shilling and the receipts increased
to :e26,92O,OOO. The addition of
two pence recommended in the
last budget is expected to increase
the return from this source to
934,OO0,000. The rate in 1856
during the Crimean war was Is.
3D., or two pence moro than the
one now proposed, and the revenue
thereby derived was e15,000,00O.
These figures serve to illustrate
England's increase in wealth IN
the last half century.

GOVERNOR LA FoLLErTs ILLNESS.

Madison Journal: Gov. La Toilette
has the sympathetic interest of the citi-
zens of the state during his long and
tedjous illness. For a month now he
has been absent from the executive
chamber, and for that time practically
confined to the house, of late wholly so.
He is not confined to his bed, though he
finds it congenial, and he sees his private
secretary daily, though doing no other
business. His trouble Is not new to him
-stomachic in nature, and the penalty
of too intense application to work. There
ia no immediate menace in it save as
long illness intensifies weakness. How
ever, Governor La Toilette was endowed
with a constitution that will enable
him to throw off this attack as he has
others infinitely more severe.
There are best wishes for him from
every quarter. As the sources of strength
are hidden, 30 in these days of busy mar
plots and selfish conspiracy, perhaps II
is az we'll the object of the venomous
attacks is unable to grapple with them
directly. There may be strength IN
