Remedies for Anarchy.

0Many remedies have been proposed,
and many plans suggested for the sup
preston of anarchy in this country; but
few public men have talked better on
the subject than Senator Dolliver did in
his Chicago memorial address. Here is
paragraph from his speech, worthy of
consideration by every legislative body
which attempts to deal with the sup
preston of the anarchists:
"a government like ours is always
slow to move, and often awkward in its
motions, but it can be trusted to find
effective remedies for conditions like
these, at least after they become intol-
cradle. But these remedies, in order to
become effective, must not evade the
sense of justice which is universal, nor
the traditions of civil liberty, which we
have inherited from our fathers. The
bill of rights written in the English
language, stands for too many centur-
les of sacrifice, too many battlefields
sanctified by blood, too many hopes of
mankind reaching toward the ages to
come, to be mutilated in the least in
order to meet the case of handful of
miscreants whose names nobody can
pronounce.

Railway Assessments.

Under the assessment laws of Iowa,
all property not specially exempted by
statute, should be assessed at 25 FER
cent, or one fourth, of its actual value.
All owners of property are under lie.
gal and moral obligation to pay their
lawful share of taxes, and every scheme
or device resorted to for the purpose of
evading this plain duty, is morally on a
level with the plans of the robber and
the burglar. When lawful taxes are paid
on all classes of property, the burdens
of government are equally borne, and
no one has just cause. to complain. But
public expenses must be paid, no matter
whether assessments are just or unjust,
equal or unequal. Every successful
evasion of the payment of taxes is
fraught with far reaching, evil conse.
quences. Every time dishonest tax
evading scheme succeeds, the deficit in
the public revenues occasiuned, thereby
must be made good by honest tsxpay
ers. Under such conditions, the honest
taxpayer, not alone pays his full share
of the burdens of the government, but is
required to pay an additional sum to
cover the deficiencies caused by the tax
dodgers.
Governor Shaw may, in many respects,
be wise and good man, but his record
as an assessor of railroad property is
pretty we'll covered with black spots.
The actual value of railroad property
is more easily ascertained than that of
most any other class The stocks and
bonds of the principal railways of the
country have q standard market value,
which Is published every day in market
quotations, much the same as the price
of corn and oats. When Governor
Shaw's executive council assessed the
railroads of Iowa, they knew, or had
the means of knowing, just what these
roads could be bought or sold for in the
open markets of the country. 1t would
seem to almost any one that tn mar
ket price would be the actual value OF
railroad the same as it would be of q
car of corn or farm of land. But in
the opinion of Governor Shaw and a
majority of his executive council, rail.
roads are hedged about by some divin-
ity which make them an exception to
ordinary rules.
We give below the mileage basis val
ue of several railroad properties in
Iowa, according to the market price of
their stocks and bonds, their assessed
value and the percentage of the assess
ed to the actual value:

strictly to business. After the an
nouncement of the standing commit
tees consideration of the proposed
amendments to the constitution was
begun and continued with much ear
nestness until evening. The result of
the days work was the adoption of the
first seven articles which We're pro-
posed in the general convention Of
| 1898.
The most important, probably, Of
those articles was article VII, which
provides for the constitution of prov
| inces in such manner, under such con-
ditions, and with such powers as shall
be provided by canon of the general
conventions; provided, however, that
no diocese shall be included in prov
lnce without its consent. There was
no discussion upon this proposed new
departure in the United States church,
and the vote was Immediately taken,

being 90 ayes and 3 nays. OF the lay
delegations forty-one dioceses voted

Washington, Oct. 7.-The following
has been received from Manila: MA
jor Morris G.. Foote, of the Ninth in

the island of Samar, was in Balangiga
the day before the disaster to Com
pany @. He says that Captain Con
nell had been fully warned. and had
taken what he CMajor Footel consid-
cred every necessary precaution. In
formation that a plot was brewing
among the Filipinos came to Major
Foote from priest, who said that 1t
was in the plans of the populace Mt
both Balangiga and Basey to attack
the garrisons, and that the Basey gar
rison was to be attacked from cock
pit in the rear of the barricks. Or
ders were Immediately given to de-
molish the cockpit, and extra guards
We're stationed. There is intense feel
ing throughout the army because of
the massacre, which would not be the
case to any extent had 1t been the
work of ordinary insurgents. The lat
ter might have been expected to COM
NIT such an outrage.

Feeling is particularly intense In
military circles because the authors
of the massacre We're paciticos, most
of whom aid taken the oath of ale
glance, and many of them, including
the presidente OF Balangiga, were ac-
tually holding office. Some of the aft
er effects are already shown mt many
points, particularly at Baulan and
Caloocan, in the provinces of Batan'
gas and Manila, where disaffection is
manifesting itself, although 1t Is moi
likely to be allowed to go far. On the
other hand, the officers and troops a
all the garrisons throughout the archi
pelago feel that the disaster conveys
n lesson to themselves of the necessity
for increased vigilance"

Mr.. Furness, q British iron manufac-
turer, said that President Schwab of the
United States steel trust, told him that
American manufacturers could lay
down on British docks steel billets for
$16 per ton, while the British manufac-
turers can not make profit under S19
per ton. just why the cry goes up that
the duty of $3.50 per ton on iron and
steel is necessary to protect the "infant
iron industry" is not apparent. But it
does. We undersell European manu-
facturers and put prohibitive duty on
their goods to protect our home manu-
lecturers. That is protection logic; but
justice. Dubuque Herald. o'u A4s
