81 WAR TAXES.
Transparent scheme of Republican
Tricksters to Rob the
People.

The republicans in congress EVIL
IDENTIFY intend to make a little reduc-
ton of the war taxation go a good
way. The republican platform prom
ised the people a reduction, but re-
publican platforms are often made to
get in on, not to stand on.
The house of representatives las
passed a bill which makes a slight re-
du~ction, but even this Disappointing
" small reduction is held up in a sem
ate committee, from which it seems
unlikely to emerge. Meantime, h
cost of the operations in the Philip
pines continues at a figure which
must eat up a heavy slice of the war
taxes.
In addition, the scale of national ex-
penditure is evidently to be lavish.
Bills to enlarge the army. to enlarge
the navy, to increase the pension list,
to grant a civil pension, to grant big
subsidies. and to Improve" rivers and
harbors everywhere, are the order OF
the day. Congressman talk in billions
nowadays. The other day a promi-
nent congressman declared that a
river and harbor bin appropriating
100000, 900 could easily be passed at
the present session. and he wondered
at the congressional moderation.
No Ding,ey tariff will provide for
any such amount of expenditures.
The Dingley tariff scheme was on the
point of ~collapsing when the Spanish
war of 1898 enabled the republican
party to impose war taxes and cum
ningly cover up the failure. BY all
indications prosperity" and "expan-
sion'' are to be the synonyms, during
Mr.. McKinley's second term. for a
wastefulness and corruption not
equaled since the second term OF
Grant. The republicans are in full
power. and Hanna is in the saddle

SHIP SUBSIDY CAMPAIGN.
only sordidly selfish Motives Behind
the Plan to Levy Extra
Taxes

The champions of the ship subsidy
bill now pending in the senate have
opened a bureau" from which it Is
proposed to issue literature in the in
terest of the cause We are to have
an educational campaign, and U
would-be educators are going TO tell
us what a fine thing ii viii be for u
all to tax ourselves in order that men
like Griscom and Rockefeller may
make more money. 1t seems to US
thai this is one of those cases in
which publicity is the least to be de-
sired, from the point of view OF those
who are interested in the proposed
grab. The trouble which even now
confronts them is that the people al
ready know too much about the bill,
its purpose and certain consequences
We believe that the ship subsidy
doctors will find it exceedingly diff
cut to convince the American people
that there are any other than the
most sordidly selfish motives behind
their movement. They may talk in
their large way about the "insignih-
canee' of the bounty asked for, but
after all it is SO, 200. 900 a year which
it is proposed to take from the peo-
pie and hand over TO a few men inter
ested in allied corporations which are
worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The people understand, too, that in
spite of amendments. the bill dfscrim-
mates unwarrantably in favor of fast
passenger steamships, that carry COM
paratiyely slight cargoes. and that it
was intended so to discriminate, be-
cause the men back of it are interest
ed in fast passenger steamships.
| More than all this, there is a feeling
| that this government has already
gone as far as it should go in taxing
the people for the benefit OF private
| industries. Millions and millions OF
| dollars have been expended in this
way, and the men who have paid the
bills are wondering whether the time
will ever come when they can be re-
| lieved of the burden they have been
carrying for years. They have. on
| the protective theory. cheerfully con-
| tributed to the creation" of great
industries. only to see those indus
tries combine for the purpose of ex-
torting more money from them in ar
tificially advanced prices. When,
therefore, it is proposed. after all
that has been done. to take each year
50. 900, 1000 of the peoples money and
! hand it over to men who are engaged
in the management of great trusts
and monopolies, including the Stand
ard Oil company, one naturally o
ders whether the thing is ever to
stop.
So il seems to us hat the ship SUBJ
sidy bureau will not have an easy job
in commencing its pet scheme 70 the
long-suffering and heavily taxed
American people. The wisest of the
republican leaders, those who are
really in touch with public sentiment,
are opposed to the subsidy, for they
not only understand that. there is .
strong feeling against it, but they see
that it is not fair to tax the people
for any such purpose.-Indianapolis

p%ARAGRAPHIc POINTERS.

Marx Hanna's claim that he rep
resents the labor element in work
ing for the ship subsidy bin has a.
shade of humor that the laboring
man Will not appreciate.-St. Louis
Republic.
IF Mr.. Hanna fails to get that
ship subsidy bill through, those con-
tributors to his campaign fund, who
expected to be more than reimbursed
by means of this predatory piece of
legislation, may refuse to allow him
to have the pleasure of running
other observation-disclosures City Times.
Thomas b. Reed, in his charac-

principle, and it is dangerous even

A STUDY OF ALIASES.
Crooks Generally Stick to One Set of
Initials A Few In
stances. =

"The aliases adopted by crooks
make an interesting study" remarked
an old reporter the other evening to
a New Orleans Times-Democratman
an old reporter the other evening.
''The smooth professional almost al
ways selects names beginning with
the same letters, which enable him
to mark his linen, luggage and other
effects with one set of initials. This
often helps divert suspicion. For ex-
ample, d man registers at a hotel as
'Brutus B. Blank and the fact that
his shirts, trunks, hat, watch and
umbrella all bear a three B mono
gram is apt to convince the clerk
that he is sailing under true colors.
At the next place he is probably Bar
tholomew B. Brown. The cotton
swindler who was recently arrested
here was known in New Orleans as
w. G.. Word, in Memphis he figured
as w. G. Williams, and I am greatly
in error if the w. G. w doesn't run
all through his escapades. H. L.
Wiley the bogus Cuban sugar baron
who was SEM to prison from here
about a year ago, had operated else
where as H. L.. Weston and his real
name turned out to be Fl. L. Worm
ser. These are merely instances I
recall at random. Men like Chan
ming Barnes, the dead train robber,
would la no occasion for any such
finesse, because they are in hiding
nine-tenths of their time, and there
is generally some sentimental reason
for the aliases they select. I'll wager
there is an interesting story behind
the Jack Nelson which Barnes adopt
ed for professional purposes. One of
the strangest cases of name invent
ing within my recollection came to
light at Atlanta, Ga, some five years
ago. A young man named William
Meyers lured a stock dealer, who had
just sold a lot of mules. to a lonely
ravine on the outskirts of the city,
shot him dead and robbed the body.
After an exciting chase the murderer
was arrested near Cincinnati, and
when brought back to Atlanta he in
sisted stubbornly that he had been
nothing more than an unwilling ac-
complete. and the actual perpetrator
of the crime was a man named Brown
Allen. The detectives were convinced
from the outset that Brown Allen was
an entirely mythical character. but
the combination of names was rather
peculiar, and they were puzzled to
know why they should nave been
chosen. Before the murder. Meyers.
who was something of a 'masher,'
used to do a good deal of loafing on
a certain street corner. One day a
detective was standing at the same
/ spot and happened to notice an i'm
mense gilt sign over a drug store OPP
posite. 1t read Brown & Allen but
an intervening telegraph pole hid the
81 and there, in a fash, the mys-
terry was laid bare. Meyers had no
doubt observed the sign unconscious
ly a thousand times. and when sud-
denly called upon to invent a desig-
nation for his mythical murderer, he
| fshed its image out of the nearest
! pigeon hole of his brain, and the name
Brown Allen came readily coined to
his tongue. Meyers was sentenced to
be hanged, but he escaped from jail
and was never heard of again. That,
/ however, is another story"

SAITH AGAIN.

Mr.. Hopkinson Smith said not
long ago some injudicious things about
Mrs. Stowe and Uncle Toms Cabin"
Stree then he has been interviewed sew
erai times, and in his efforts not to mo-
dify what he said, but to make it clear,
he has been equally injudicious. But
he has said nothing to justify the fccu-
sation that he is taking about "Uncle
Tom" merely to advertise himself and
Ii, lectures on impressionism and
realism. In the first place, Mr.. Smith
is not the kind OF person to whom these
methods of advertising come natural.
In the second place, though what he
said about Mr.. Stowe is the kind OF
thing that attracts attention, it is de-
cidedly not the kind of thing that dis
poses audiences in this part of the
country to think we'll of MIR. Smith.
In the first place The Milwaukee Sem
tinel says, his lectures on impressionism
and realism are not in need of this sort
of advertisement. Mr.. Smith, in spite
of his modesty, cannot help knowing
this. He is particularly clear EXPOSE
tor If those elementary difference which
interest keenly people who are just
beginning to care about pictures. He
can be much more than this when he
chooses, but this is what he tries to be
in his lectures, and successfully is. He
gives US an inkling not only of what a
painter does, but of how it is done. Ex-
treme realism in painting, he says, is
like the use of too many words in SEN
tence and too many sentences in para
graph. Extreme realists believe, that
chair is not only a chair, but also some
thing in which every vein OF the wood
and a pattern OF the stuffed seat, are
plainly visible. Impressionism in the
other. hand, is like the use of too few
words in sentence. The impressionists
leave ont too much. They are tempted
TO cover all the spots on their canvas
with violet and amathyst. Monet,
"uSAb IAAs Uccu W fSkaEu dS the
head of the French impressionists,
usually tries for only three things-"a
luminous silver sky, wheat stack bril-
liant, in golden sunlight, and coal
purple shadow" For Monet quality of
light is everything, and color and draw
ing are nothing.
Naturally this way of talking about
art is interesting and useful to people
who have been accustomed to look upon
nearly all pictures as moments in
stories, and who have asked "what does
the artist teach" hundred times for
once that they have asked "what does
the painter show?" To such people Mr..
Smith lends new eyes. They are accor-
dinghy grateful to him, and will continue
to be grateful aft er they have forgotten
what he said about Mrs. Stowe.

JAMES CAHILL OF Roneys Point, is the
only person in West Virginia and pro-
bably in the United States who has in
