STATE ISSUES.
Democratic Attempt Is Simply
Laughable.

Reasons why There Arc No Matters
of State Interest In This Years
Campaign.
To one who has been an attentive
student of political conditions in Ohio
the attempt of the Democratic state
platform to make diversion upon
state issues is only laughable. The
Democratic party in the role of a re-
former is simply the ass in the lions
skin.
For ten years Ohio has been under
Republican control. The administra-
tion of Governor Campbell, the last
Democrat to hold that office. left a
legacy of an embarrassed treasury
and state institutions filed with scan
dals, because the positions therein
had been peddled out as political re-
wards, irrespective of the capabilities
of the men who were given positions.
Let us look at the treasury. The
state was deeply in debt, and the reve-
rues were only sufficient for current
expenses. Two things were neces-
sary: To increase the revenues, and
to get out of debt.
The Republican legislature took. up
the first proposition. After careful
consideration, in place of increasing
the tax rate and putting greater bur-
dens upon the taxpayers, they sought
new sources of revenue. They found
these in the corporations of the state.
At the time the present constitution
was adopted, in 1852, corporate fran
chises were practically non-existent.
Under the wording of that instrument,
1t has been decided that franchises
are not taxable in this state Hence,
ono more source of possible revenue
was cut off by the letter of the consti-
tuition; but this did not deter the Re-
publican lawmakers. They levied tax
es in different ways upon the business
of these corporations, by which the
state revenues were increased one
half. These laws were fiercely resist
ed, but when the cases reached the
supreme court that tribunal declared
their constitutionality.
What was the result? In 1896 the
funded Indebtedness of the state-that
is to say, the total amount of state
bonds outstanding = was S1,540,00O
Today the bonded debt of the state is
but $45O,000; and II those bonds were
due and now payable, they could be
met from the cash balance in the
treasury without affecting the solv-
ency' Of the, STATE. Why? Because
the total balance in the treasury
stands at over one million and half
dollars. What taxpayer has any fault
to find with the work of the Republi-
can legislature? 1890

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Railroad earnings continue to show
increases. For the first half of this
year they were 75.OOOOOO greater than
for the first half OF last year. and $275,-
100000 greater than in the similar
period in 1897; these earnings. more
over, were upon a very slightly in
creased railroad mileage. Our foreign
trade balance keeps on eniarging. Stick
20 the Mckinley policies OF the Nc
Kinley party, that have produced these
results.

Reciprocity is part of protection, its
natural sequence, as McKinley's bread
vision sees and as the Republican
national platform declares. The
"Deutsches Tages zeitung," OF Ber-
lin, truly says of his Buffalo speech
that there is absolutely no occasion to
suppose that President Mckinley is
about to abandon the protective tariff
system.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-09-21

1t was the Democratic party in
power that repealed the reciprocity
provisions of the Mckinley bill, re-
pudiated tine treaties made under
them, and broke down the American
shipping facilities provided by the Re
publican congress, to facilitate our
trade with other countries. Let not
the people trust that party with reci-
procity. tra gFs

POLITICAL COMMENT.

After the Democrats in Chic kicked
free silver out of their party, along
comes Stone, of Missouri, and says free
silver isn't dead. He and Mclean can
settle that question the best way they
can. The American people have gone
too far by that issue to even stop to
consider it.-Pauiding (O) Republican.

LED A DOUBLE LIFE.
A Man with Two Wives Played n
Clever Game.

Detective Hewitt returned to Savannah
yesterday, after a chase for a criminal
that started in Savannah last November
and led into Mexico where the man fin
ally was located and where he still is,
as the prosecutor who hired the detective
weakened when the final test came of
taking QUE the papers necessary to get the
man back, and refused further to prose-
cute him.
The story as told by the detective is
most interesting one. In last August IL.
ID. Sturgeon came to Savannah from
Charleston, bringing with him his wife,
formerly Mrs. Scale of Lake City, S. c.,
and registering with her at the Marshall
House Shortly after his arrival another
wife and a child appeared on the scene,
and Sturgeon managed to have them reg
lister at another hotel Then he began d
clever ruse that for the three weeks
during which its operations lasted stood
him in good stead.
He told both of the women that he had
secured railroad position that required
run to Jacksonville. To lend color to
this story he arranged with a boy to call
at the hotel every certain period and call
him up for his run. When called he
would leave the house of wife No. 3 but
instead OF going on the road would so
to the home of wife No. l, and spend
with her the time that his other wife
supposed him on the trip to Jacksonville.
After a time sufficient for the trip to
Jacksonville and back had passed, the
boy would call him from his second home
and then with the same story to wife No.
! he would return to his other flame.
However this double life came to end
suddenly one day when Sturgeon was en-
trusted by the Carolina wife with $1,000
to be deposited. Instead of placing the
money to her credit Sturgeon pocketed
It, and with wife No. l and their child
skipped town.
After he had been located by the detec-
tive Mrs Sturgeon No. = refused to go
further with the case, and so he was not
arrested. and is still in Mexico with his
wife and child.

LAW AGAINST SPLITTING.
Alderman HOrrigan Will Introduce
the Ordinance Tonight

An anti-spitting ordinance will be intro
duced at the meeting of Council tonight.
The ordinance will be introduced by AL
derman Horrigan at the request of the
Sanitary Board.
The ordinance will declare it to be I'M
lawful to spit on the sidewalks in the
CITY, upon the floors or platforms of street
cars or in public buildings, unless in Gus
pidors. It will also Indicate that it will
be the duty of policeman observing such
a breach of the law to warn the offender,
and, the offense being repeated place him
upon the docket.
A penalty OF s. or one days imprison-
ment. either or both, may be imposed by
the Recorder for the offense. If the or
dinance passes and is strictly enforced it
is believed that there viii be many dock
eted for the offense.
The Sanitary Board, it will be recalled,
adopted resolution calling for such an
ordinance. The promiscuous splitting prac-
ticed in the city was regarded as a men,
ace to the public health. and it was for
this reason that the board desired that
the law be passed.

BONES IN THE BANK.

and this may be done by Gen. Di Cesnola.
When the two boxes were received at
the bank, Col. Gardiner and Mr.. Harden
were present. The bank officials received
the boxes from the committee, Col. Gar
diner and Mr.. Harden signing as trustees.
The deposit was made in due form, the
account being opened with the trustees,
who were given credit for two boxes Of
bones, those of Gen Nathaniel Greene
and his son. George Washington Greene.
The substitution of specially-designed
boxes for those that the exigencies OF
the occasion demanded should be used as
receptacles for the remains VIII be
source of qualification to those who
have felt an interest in the search. There
was something a bit disconcerting in the
thought of the relics of Gen. Greene oc-
cupyng a soap box. The night before
the police reporter of the Morning News
had strolled into the sergeant's Office.

Great Heavens. man." exclaimed the
sergeant, look out there. mat zen.
Greene's body you are kicking" Having
no desire to commit a sacrilege, the re-
porter forbore. 1t was natural mis-
take.
The boxes will be kept in the vault Of
the Southern Bank until such time as
conference of those interested may be
held to determine upon their future dis
position. The bank, Col. Gardiner under
stands, makes no charge for the use of
its vault. 1t is not improbable that many
months will elapse before an agreement
is reached as 90 where the remains will
be re-iuterrcd.
Col Gardiner has not vet considered
the question of the future disposition of
the remains To the descendants of Gen.
Greene. he said. should properly be left
the decision as to the place for the re-
interment but, because of the national in
terest felt in Greene and the reward he
received from Georgia for his services,
the state should have a voice in the mat

THIRTY GOT VERDICTS.
That Number of Divorces Granted in
the Superior Court,


Yesterday was divorce day in the Su-
perior Court and during the morning ses-
sion thirty couples, who had begun to
ohafe under the marital bonds, had these
ties loosened and. as individuals, were
granted permission to contract new al
liances
In no one of the many cases tried was
there any real contest, though in several
of them counsel for the defendants were
in court looking after the interests
of their clients. All counsel desired to
do, however. was to see to it that no
restrictions We're placed upon their
clients rights to remarry, and in no case
in which a decree of divorce was grant
ed the plaintiff was this right denied the
defendant.
The divorces were granted on every
one Of the statutory grounds The de-
PENDANTS had been guilty, or so 1t was
charged in the petitions, Of all of the
otfenses which the state law says shall
constitute ground of divorce. and when
che plaintiffs We're placed on the stand
they made statements that bore out and
sustained the truth OF THESE charges. Sew
enteen of the Verdicts were the first
granted in these cases; the other thir-
teen were second verdicts, and the plain
tiffs in these latter cases were granted
the decree of total divorce and separa-
ton to which they thus became entitled
under the law.
one of the funniest of the cases tried
was that of James A. Kesler against
Minnie kesler. On the stand the plain
tiff said he married the defendant Oct.
3, 1897. The plaintiff is an elderly man
ana the defendant, it appears is quite
young woman. She made no answer or
objection 20 the suit and was not pres
ent in court while 1t was being tried.
one hour after the knot had been tied,
according TO the statement of the plain
tiff, his wife deserted himh She first
touched him for $50 for the alleged pur-
pose of making some purchases. and he
sat down in the hotel where the honey
moon was to have begun and awaited
her return. Kesler was of the opinion thar

and been just as far from seeing his
wife. She never showed up.
The jury thought that under the cir
cumstances the plaintiff was entitled to

was granted in his favor.

CAPT. JOHN A. CONDOR.
His Funeral Took Place I'm Knox
willie Tuesday.


The Knoxville (Tenn) Sentinel, in an
nounclng the death of Capt. John A
Condor, a brief mention of which was
made in the Morning News Monday, says:
Capt. Condor was of a bright and
jovial nature and made friends wherever
he went He first attended school at
Rock Hill, Md, and later went to George
town College. At the breaking out of the
Spanish-American War, he entered the
service of the army as lieutenant, after
wards being promoted to captain. He en-
tered service with the Third United
States Volunteer Infantry, under Col
Ray, being assigned to the engineering
corps. he being by profession a civil en-
gneer. He enlisted at Macon, Ga, where
he was mustered out on sick fhrlough
about one year ago. He returned from
Cuba on the transport Crook. which
brought number of dead and sick to
this country. He went to Saranac Lake,
~ Y. shortly after his return from
Cuba in the hope of restoring his health,
but not being improved by this visit he
then went to Denver, Col. He returned
from this place five weeks ago without
improvement and was confined to the
house until his death. The severe servi G
in Santiago, Guantanamo, and other trop-
ical points proved too much for the con-
stitution of Capt. Condor, and all efforts
to restore his health were futile. He was
most capable soldier, as proven by his
early promotion, and did good service for
his country In Cuba. Had he lived he
would no doubt have received further
promotion as his faithfuness and ability
deserved. His eldest brother, with two
younger brothers, arrived in the city to-
day to be in attendance at the funeral.
Soon after being commissioned in the
army in 1898, Capt. Condor married Miss
Minnie Bannon of Savannah, Ga, whom
he leaves as widow.
Capt. Condor was born and raised in
this city and was we'll known and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. He leaves,
besides a wife and one child, his mother,
five brothers and six sisters. He was 81
years OF age"
Capt. Condon's funeral took place in
Knoxville Tuesday, the interment being
in Calvary Cemetery.
