bank check tax is paid by people
who are able to pay it, though GER
tainiy no ADLER than the brewers,
aud it would be hard to find a good
reason why it should be retained in
order that the brewers tax may be
still further reduced. The objec-
ton to the check tax is the pesti-
ferrous manner of its collection.
The drawer Of a check is made not
only to pay the tax every time he
writes check, but to act as the
collector of the tax, thus perform.
ing the duties which Government
officials are paid to perform, and
putting about as much work on the
cancellation Of a stamp as is required
in drawing the check. 1t is a
nuisance, and of SO petty a nature
that the Government should not
resort to- it except in cases Of
extreme revenue needs.

Mark Has a Plan.

Courier Journal.
Mark Twain has been telling us
how the Philippines should have
been run. This is Marks lecture
to our stateSmen:
.Dewey should have sailed away from
Manila as soon as he had destroyed the
Spanish heet-after putting up sign on
shore guaranteeing foreign property and life
against damage by the Filipinos and warning
the Powers that interference with the eman-
cIpated patriots would he regarded as an
act unfriendly to the United States. Dewey
could have gone about his affairs elsewhere
and left the competent Filipino army to
starve out the little Spanish garrison and
send it nome, and the Filipino citizens TO set
up the form of government they might
prefer and deal with the frars and their
doubtful acquisitions according to Filipino
ideas of fairness and Justice
And this was not intended to be
funny. 1t was written in all serious
ness, and published as seriously IN
very serious periodical, the North
American Review. But it Sc ms
that Mark can not help being fun
ny, even when he tries not to be.
The "sign" plan Of guaranteeing
foreign property and life against the
Filipinos and of warning the Powers
to keep off the grass is very sim, lie
and very cheap. All that it requires
is a few boards and little paint.
1t is as easy to govern SO much Of
the world as we please by that me th-
cd as it is to stick stake in the
ground. All that is necessary IS to
stick up the signs and then run
awav-especially run away. The
simplicity well~as the cheapuess
of the plan would be spoiled if we
stayed around anywhere in the
neighborhood to enforce our warn
ings or even to teach the FiIIpinos
to read them. 1t is to- be hoped
that Mark has his plan fully pro-
tected by copyrights, patents, ca
yeats, injunctions, armor plate,
sandbags, etc. Some other nation
might get hold of it before we set it
into operation.

DR.. Matas on Vaccination.

Dr. M0Co0 ON VocCl00ttOn.
The following are the views of
Dr.. Ma'as, Of New Orleans, ON
vaccination:
~ Internationally indorse vac
cination, and l know that the effect
iveness of the preventative is in
disputable. do not base my be-
lief on history or statistics of any
kind, but upon actual, personal Oh
servation. l regard anv opposition
to vaccination as absolutely criminal,
and l cannot express too strongly
my condemnation Of the prejudice
against one of the greatest dis
coveries ever given to- man TO pro-
tect him FROM death and to mitigate
his suffering.
''The subject does not admit of dis
cussion. One needs not go to the
science of the thing. No one could
tell me that in fostering a belief in
vaccination l am entertaining a de-
fusion and a snare. Such a thing
could not be told me any more than
to-day that I am blind or nave lost
my senses. The facts in the matter
stand for themselves. Last year
when smallpox prevailed IN New Or
leans to some extent a number of
the medical students contracted the
disease. The three who died had
rot been vaccinated, and none of
those who had been vaccinated had
the disease other than in the mildest
form.
"Ihere are some cranks who
NJ ainta'n that the decrease of small
P"x may be attributed to an
evolutionary process, the survival Of
the httesi, and such other wild
theories. 1t Is maimtaiAkd by the
badly equilibra,ed that borId is
slowly becoming immnfI TO the
disease. This is utter .ooiishness.
Sup &c the year vaccination was
intr"dus ed the mortality of the dis
ease was increasing, and from the
very date of the practice Of vaccina-
ton the death rate rapidly deceased
81 will be glad to be put on record
as saying that vaccination is great
blessing to mankind, and that it
has saved an untold number Of
lives"

Senator Pettus Not a Snoh.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, the
veneraa Die. but exceedingly vigorous
octogenarian, who s" thoronshly
castigated Beveridge, of Indiana,
last winter, hates the snobbishness
that afflicts the Senate as a body.
The incense burning by employees is
disgusting to him. Every fiber in
his immense bulk quivered with in
dlgnation yesterday evening when
he saw a t1mid little woman roughly
ordered and forced out of an eleya-
tor because she had dared to exer
else woman's preroeative of step
ping into the cage ahead of Senator
Turner, of Washington. Size was
in front of Turner, and by every law
of pre- cedence and decency she was
entitled to step In first. But when
she did SO her further progress was
barred by the arm of the elevator
conductor.
"Step out and let the Senator in,
he commanded, making a motion as
it to use physical force to enforce
his command. Much confused she
did so, and Turner stepped in. BY
this time Senator Pettus, who was a
passenger, realized what was going
on, but the discourtesy had been
completed. The woman was out
and the senator was in, so Pettus
vented his indignation in a basso-
profundo growl.
"That amt lawful" he said, loud
enough to be heard by every person
in the Car. "'Taint decent No
senator should expect a woman to
stand back for him. - Washington

Bank Check and Beer Taxes.

Bank Check and Beer Taxes.
Courier Journal.
Discussing the differences in the
War Revenue Reduction Bill, as
passed by the House and as passed
by the Senate, the Chicago Tribune
says:
'sThe Senate has restored the tax on bank
checks. The two cents on each check pro
total number of checks drawn annually is
$50, 100000. There is question as to
who pays this tax. The men who have bank
deposits, large or small, and settle bills with
checks pay it, If they wish to escape it
they can pay in currency. That is bother
some, and SO all except most economic peo-
pie use checks and do not complain Sc
riously of the tax. 1t falls TO much greater
extent than many taxes do on persons who
are able to pay without Inconvenience.
The great defect of the Senate bill is
that it goes beyond the House bill in re-
ducIng the tax on fermented liquors. This
necessitates the retention of some annoying
stamp taxes which might otherwise have
been repealed This is bad blunder.''
It would appear even worse
planned that the Senate restored the
bank check tax in order to make a
bigger reduction Of the tax on beer.
There is no better subject of taxa
ton than beer, and the rate at
present levied on it is not at all
burdensome. But the brewers are
rich and powerful IN politics, and
the United States Senate is pecu-
liarly susceptible to such influences.
There is no question that the

DIR. ABBOTT ON NEGRO
.SUEFRA GE
DIR.

The people of the North are be
ginning to understand the South.
They are gradually informing them
selves of the real condition of af-
fairs in the Southern States and not
a week passes without the publica-
ton of the views of some promi-
nent Northern man who recognizes
that the South should be permitted
to work out the negro problem in
Its own way. Aside from the New
York Sun, Crumpacker and few
other rabid bloody-sh waivers, the
men of the North seem to have re-
allied at last that the citizens Of the
South will tolerate no interference
in their local affairs. And be it
said to their credit the well think
ing people of the Northern States
are disinclined to meddle in this
business in which they have no sort
of right to interfere. The South
ern whites have long since decided
to not submit to the domination Of
an inferior race. AS law abiding
and peace loving citizens they
prefer to maintain Caucasian
rule through the employment
of legal means, but should
Federal partisan ship prove an OBJ
stacle in the way of a peaceful and
legal solution of the race question,
nothing is more certain than that
the intelligent and, decent classes
will continue to govern this section
despite the frantic opposite which
springs from the hell-born hatred
that still rankles in the bosoms Of
some malevolent scamps beyond
Mason & Dixon's line.
1t is indeed encouraging to note
that the fair-minded men of the
North admit that the amendment
clothing the negro with the fran
chise was a fatal mistake and that
the South should be commended in
its efforts to rid the electorate Of
this mass of venality and Ignorance
The last prominent Northerner to
express his views on this question
was no less a person that the Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, who, in the
course of lecture dilvered at
Boston, said:
'sThe result of the universal suffrage was
to give political power to great body of
ex-slaves without previous training or educa
ton and without political capacity. The
carPet-bag government failed to protect per-
son, property, reputation family. The
South engaged in revolution for the pur
pose of overtbrowing it. The bottom of
society never ought to govern the top, and
it would govern the top if political power
was conferred upon great body of igno
rant and incompetent VOTERS
DR.. Abbott said that the North
ought to. sympathize with the South
in the difficult work of dealing with
an inferior race. He declared that
the negroes had emerged from
slavery in "a state of absolute
poverty and that they now own
$500, 900, 900 Of personal and real
estate and that is was conclusive
evidence that they were well treated.

How to Tell Their Sex.

The other day q Journal scribe was
boring Ernest Bingham for a news
item. At that moment a mahala with
a papoose strapped to her back passed
us on the street.
There's an item for you. said the
newspaper man from Tuscarora. Ibid
you notice the diamond shaped orna-
ment on the Infants basket. That
indicates that It's a girl. If there was
a succession OF crooked lines woven in
il would proved that the papoose was a
boy.
