The army bill which aims to give
Mckinley the sole power to increase
our standing army to 100000 men in
stead of $4,000 as now provided, is so
apparently menacing to the traditions
of our republic, SO imyerialistic and
threatening to our peace and safety
that republicans themselves are be-
coming alarmed and are debating
against the measure. Senator Bacon
Of Georgia said in part:
"The passage OF this bill will mark
an epoch in the United States. sena'
tors may scoff, but it is nevertheless
true that the passage of bill by
which the president shall control the
size of the army is march toward
empire. 1t is the evident purpose OF
the bill to eliminate for all time the
volunteer system from the military
establishment of the country and Gre
ate for all time agreat standing army.
:The issue is not to be evaded. Shall
1T be in the future the province OF
the president to raise armies or shall
that be the province OF congress?

long to condemned to universal and

REVENUE REDUCTION.
Little Prospect of Such Thing
Being Done by the Re-
publfcans.

The proposed reduction of revenue
as announced by the ways and means
committee amounts to $40,OOO,OOO In
asmuch as the estimated surplus for
next year is $S0,0000O0, wide mar
gin of safety = too wide, one might
think = is retained. But the ship
subsidy bill will make heavy de-
mands, and with the elastic provision
in the army bill, there is no telling
what additional expense the army
may require. The objects selected for
reduced taxation cannot be altogeth-
err commended. Why the tax on beer.
cigars and wines should be reduced
does not appear, for the stamp tax
is still retained on corporate stocks
and bonds, freight receipts, certif-
Gates of profit, entry of goods at Gus
tom houses and other things of SIM
liar character. 1t is to be regretted
also that with the opportunity af-
fordsd by the surplus there is no
thought or intention of reducing taxes
in other directions.
The tariff ought to be amended.
Many articles, produced by trusts in
this country, are sold abroad at a
lower rate than here at home. We
apparently are SO enamored of tax
ing ourselves for the benefit of our
rich men that it does not cause even
protest. 1t must, surely, in time,
however. While we are growing in
wealth and population. we are also
growing necessarily in the cost OF
government. With our expanding
army and navy, with our ship subsidy
projects, our isthmian canals, and
with the steadily increasing pension
| list, we shall require each year a
larger expenditure. 1t may be then
that we shall happen on an hour
when the voice of sanity that shall
plead for taxation to be levied as
nearly as possible on all alike, and
to be so levied as to give special priv
| leges to none, will be heard; and we
may then hope, and not until then
to have something like the spirit OF
fairness in the adjustment of our pub
| lie burdens.-Indianap News.

Unless Superintendent Cooley of
the Chicago public schools has made a
remarkably profound study of the
game, it is to be feared that his effort
to revise the rules of football so that
it will be made gentle and harmless
sport will prove unavaiiing. Football
in its nature is not and cannot be a
gentle pastime. 1t would seem that
the only way for Mr.. Cooley to reform
football! would be to rule that it shall
be played only on condition that the
players do not approach nearer one
another than distance Of five yards,
and that the game itself shall be play
ed only on those months which have
thirty-two days.-Chicago Record.

;;..selai Paper of County
Bribine Judges.

Wednesdays executive session of
the senate was quite animated. Mr..
Pettigrew affirmed that the purpose
of the appointment of the sons of JUS
tices Harlan and McKenna, one to a
high civil and the other to higher
military office, was to influence the
decision of the justices in the Porto
Rico and Philippine cases; and he pro-
voked Mr.. Foraker into an indignant
denial by Interpreting certain utter
ances of the Ohioan as an admission
that the appointments actually had
influenced the judges to the admins
tration side. Mr.. Pettigrew limited
himself to an assault upon the adj
ministration. Mr.. Butler of North
Carolina attacked the supreme court
He declared that it had lost the con-
fidence of the people by reversing it,
self in the income tax case and by its
trucking to corporate interests, and
he criticised some of the judges by
name for their action in the pending
cases. The American people have
sufficient faith in Justice Harlan who
dissented from the majority opinion
in the income tax case, to feel conf
dent that he will not be Influenced by
the appointment of his son to open
the road to imperialism by holding
that the constitution does not extend
to our new possessions. And they
have hope that what they believe to
be true of Justice Harlan is also true
of Justice McKenna. But large
number of them fully concur with
Senator Pettigrew that the presidents
purpose in making the appointments
was to bride the judges. The exeeu-
tive is not devoid of sense OF the
fitness of things, and he knew
and he knows that at the time
and in the circumstances the appoint
mehts were indecent. He was and is
aware that they would warrant the
inference of evil intent. The ap-
pointments could wait. There was
no need of hurry in making them. If
he had no evil intent why should he
invite the odium which he knew
would attach to sending them to the
senate? 1t is the administrations
policy that is in issue in the cases just
argued before the court, and if the
tribunal renders an adverse decision
the president and the republican con-
grcss will stand discredited. McKin-
ley naturally desires to escape such a
humiliation, and the facts and circum-
stances conspire to prove that in the
eagerness to escape it he has resorted
to the corrupt, revolutionary, destruc-
tive and improbable device of tend
ering bride to the judges.-Dnbuque

REDUCING REVENUES.
II Republicans DO Anything In That
Line 1t Will He for
Bluff Only.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chronicle states as a fact what
most observers have conjectured, that
the president and his cabinet are
much worried about the apparent ten
dency in congress to make a sweep
ing reduction of the revenues.
They are themselves chiefly to
blame for this apparent tendency. The
president in his message and the sec
rotary of the treasury in his report
gives prominence to the fact that
there was surplus of nearly $S0,000.-
900 during the last fiscal year, and
that there has been proportionate
surplus thus far this year.
In every way they have sought to
give the people the impression that
the need of "war taxes" was pro-
excessively passing away. They have no
good reason to be surprised, there
fore. If the representatives of the peo-
pie get this impression and overlook
the fact that these high officials fig
ure on very greatly increased expendi-
lures next year and mediate steps
necessitating greatly increased ex-
penditures for many years to come.
But the administration need not
worry. The house may push through
measure OF sweeping reduction for
popular effect. But the senate will
take good care that the reduction is
kept within bounds. By the time the
bill gets back to the house even Repre-
sentative Boutell, of Chicago, will have
got his eyes open wide enough to see
that his proposal to pass bill pro-
viding for the abolition of all the "war
taxes" the repeal to take effect as to
each tax at some stated time, is quite
impracticable.
Congress and the people may as well
face the truth at once that the most
of the so-called war revenue is going
to be needed for many years to come.
They may as well face the truth that
we shall never again get down to the
former scale of expenditure; that as
war has always in the past necessi-
tated permanent increase, so it will
in the present case even more than in
the past. And the politicians will
soon be teaching the people that high
taxes and great expenditures are good
things for them and somehow put
money In their pockets.-C Chicago
Chronicle.

pARAGRAPH1c POINTERS.

Doubtless some of the opposi-
ton to the ship subsidy bill comes
from persons who, by defeating the
measure, hope to show that some
things can be done without the aid
or consent of Mr.. Hanna.-Milwaukee

Marcus Aurelius Hanna frets be-
cause he finds there are senatorial
limitations. Marcus would like to in
corporate the upper house, fund its

The fallacy of protection has

American goods abroad, and it has re-

as the fugitive slave law.-Kansas

Mr.. Hanna's false logic was ex=
emplified in his citation of the splendid
increase in the traffic on the lakes. II
he could have shown that the lake
carrying trade had been built up by
subsidies or other legislative aid he
might have made formidable point,
but this trade has been built up with
out any aid of this kind. The very cita-
ton he made was therefore an argu-
ment against him.-Toledo Bee.
