PASSING OF ACTUAL
LOCAL AUTHORITY

one Of the first acts of his administration
and set the machinery going, the Dis
trict government had no more to do with
the matter except 10 furnish supplies on
the requisition OF the secretary and 10
audit the accounts.
Then there was legislation concentrat-
ing the charitable efforts Of the District
into a bureau, and the management of that
department is practically. though not to
the same extent, outside the Jurisdiction
Of the Commissioners And now comes
the proposition 70 erect a Municipal
Building. and the bill authorizes the Sec
retary Of War to put UP the building. and
so far as the proposed statute is con-
ceFned, the District government viii net
be consulted
The Board Of Assessors.
The proposal to Iegislate the Board of
Assessors out of existence and the ap-
pointment OF new board by the Presf-
dent IS another limitation upon the pow
ers Of the Commissioners. In fact. Con-
gress IS gradually assuming the place OF
the Commissioners, and If things 90 on
at the present rate, their significance in
the District Government after few years
viii be reduced to zero.
at is perhaps the inevitable result Of
such a form of government as the one
under which we are working. but the
tendency Of things is decidedly toward
the handing over OF the District Govern
ment to the Interior Department to be
run as bureau of the National Govern
ment"
Much Apprehension Felt.
While others do not take the extreme
view of the veteran quoted, there is a
good deal Of apprehension on the part
Of the people in the District Government
over the crisis through which the nunie-
ipality is passing Some even go so far
as to say that the legislative side of the
compact Of 1873 is assuming a position
which viii inevitably run TO some organic
change like that under which the presenr
form Of government came into existence

Great interest Is manifested at the Dis

affecting the municipality. The PROPOSE
ton to re-enact the law Of 1871 relative
to the assessment and collection Of a

preparation bill, has awakened a good deal
Of discussion Some Of these most con-

An official who has been many years in
the service Of the District said today that
he thought some of the legislation pro-
posed by Congress was NEST pernieious in
its spirit and tendencies. As he express

Better I han Pills.

TIL question has been asked, "In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a ma
tural condition, while pills are mor
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by

AGAINST BANKS
COMMISSIONER YERKES DECIDES
THEY MUST A ABOUT 5000, o
Holds the Undivided Profit Is Part of
the Surplus. and that Taxes Due
July L Are CoIIectibIe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-Commissioner
Yerkes, Of the internal revenue bureau.
has directed that immediate steps be taken
for the collection of tax on the profit and
loss accounts, or undivided profits accounts
of banks, trust companies or private banks
under the war revenue act Of June, 1895.
The amount to be collected will approx
mate, it is said, $9OO.00
Under an opinion of the Department of
Justice the tax had only been collected on
the capital and surplus of banks. but the
commissioner ruled last January that the
undivided profits. or profit and loss accounts
of banks, are part Of the surplus and sub
ject to the tax. After this ruling was
made, by request of representatives Of the
banks, the commissions agreed. on Jan. q
last, to withhold collection pending a decis-
ion by the United States Circuit Court in
a suit TO be brought to test the question
This suit was brought in the Southern dis
trict of New York by the Leather Manu-
facturers' National Bank of New York, and
was decided a few weeks ago adversely to
the banks, the court sustaining the position
taken by the commissioner.
Mr.. James Forgan, president OF the First
National Bank of Chicago, was the chairman
Of the committee representing the banks
that called on the commissioner last jan
uary protesting against the collection OF
this tax. On Jan. u last the COMMISSIONS
wrote him that while he would require the
banks, trust companies and others inter
ested to make returns at once TO the de-
partment showing their undivided profit or
profit and loss accounts. he would withhold
collection until a decision was secured in
the United States Circuit Court, but said
distinctly in this letter that If the court
held that. under the law. undivided profits
are a proper subject for taxation. then
payment of the tax woul6 be enforced not
w~ithStanding an appeal might be taken by
the banks TO the Supreme Court.
This tax was repealed by the last Con-
so that at present there is no internal rev.
enue tax on capital, surplus or undivided
profits Of banks. The tax to be collected
Will be for the year ended July l, 1902.

BRYAN AND ~RYANIs1

There is a prospect that the Democratic
party may be rid of William ]. Bryan as a
candidate in 1904, for he himself has said it.
and While ne is a past master in the art of
regeneration he will hardly attempt TO
dodge the meaning Of his recent explicit
declaration. His retirement from the lead
ership of the party, even for a season, is a
distinct gain. though it would be greater If
ne had been kicked out instead Of volun-
tarily Withdrawing for a brief period
with a quasi promise of resuming the po-
sition. But it will need a good deal more to
entitle the party TO a vote Of public conf
dence. When a he|avily-laden vessel is
storm driven and in danger of being
wrecked, those in charge will do anything
to tighten and save her by throwing over
board one part of her cargo after another.
There is only one instance on record of a
ship being saved by throwing one man
overheard, but Jonah was not sacrificed
until after the a~ffrighted mariners had
cast forth the wares that were in the
ship into the sea to tighten it of them
The managers Of the Democratic snip are
temporarily rid of their Jonah, but they
must get rid Of a good deal else besides.
They must get rid of Organism as well as
Of Bryan.
In 1892 Mr.. Cleveland was nominated on
a Democratic platform and was elected.
Up to thai time the Democratic party was
at least true to it's traditions and to its
principles, such as they were. AS it has
had only defeat since it would better have
remained true to its traditions and princi-
pies and saved its honor if nothing else.
With the appearance of Mr.. Bryan and his
dramatic assumption of leadership at the
Chicago convention, the old Democratic
party became a Populist party. Since 1896
it has been ~debauched with Organism,
which embraces not only free silver but
Populism and all the political heresies of
the day and all the dangerous tendencies of
recent times. BY r%eafirming at Kansas
City. in 1900. the Chicago platform of 1896
the Democratic party Endorsed all the doc
trines that the people had repudiated in
1896. and by renominated Mr.. Bryan it
committed itself anew to Organism in all it's
forms. AS there has been no recantation
since that committal is still in force. Mr..
Bryan's temporary withdrawal from the
party leadership does not reform the party.
That can only be done by a public repudia-
ton Of Organism. Not until the Demo
cratic party publicly disavows the heresies
of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms
will it be in a position to ask for a vote of
/ a1nRIannn FROM the raOnIa II hn- not
even thrown it's Jonah overheard. much less
his political belongings and effects. 1t must
get rid of Organism as we'll as of Bryan.

at the discretion Of the President" AS
General Smith is past sixty-two years of
age the President had a right 10 retire
him without reference to the finding of the
c-Ourt-martial. The act was entirely within
the discretion Of the President. II it had
rot been the secretary OF war. a good law
yer. would not have so advised him. There
fore, when Judge Bannon says. The Pres
ident had no legal or moral right TO in
crease the sentence of the court-martial,"
ne speaks unadvisedly. The President may
retire any army officer Of the age of sixty
two years without assigning any cause for
his action. though in the present case the
cause was set forth in language as gentle
as was compatible with plainness.
In advising General Smith to open a con-
right to issue the order Of retirement Judge
Bannon, and perhaps other friends, are ad-
vising him unwisely. From their point of
view it is perhaps natural they should feel
that General Smith has been punished too
severely. but the public knows the Pres
ident was actuated by a high sense of duty,
and his authority under the law is too clear
to be questioned. The public will hope for
General Smiths early and complete restor-
alton to health, and that he may not follow
the advice Of unwise friends.

Under a law providing for the purchase
of land for forest reservations, Pennsyl-
vania has just come into possession of
nearly half a million acres. On much of this
land forests will have to be restored, at
least in part, the territory having been
almost denuded Of it original covering by
the reckless course of timber cutters. These
reservations are scattered all over the
State and will be open to the public for
use as parks, for camping, lawful hunting
and fishing and for general outing purposes.
Minnesota, which still has public lands
in it's possession. is about to utilize a very
large number Of acres in the same way.
1t has been found desirable in these and
other States to protect the sources Of the
important rivers and other streams by sur
rounding them with forests that will pre-
vent their eventual drying up. 1t has been
found, also, that large tracts of forest are
a protection TO adjoining agricultural lands
by serving as windbreaks and in otherwise
modifying the temperature. Indiana has
done but little in the way of forest pro-
lection. That little is the appointment
Of a forestry board, with extremely limited
powers. 1t should take further action
soon, and as a first step should authorize
this board to study the conditions with a
view to the establishment of a number of
reservations. The State is well able to buy
the land, and should not lag behind othor
commemorative in such an important un-
dertaking.

The latest move in the way of a COM
bination is the incorporation in South Da-
kota of the Farmers National Corpora
tive Exchange Company. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say that the company looks to
the cultivation Of markets rather than OF
the soil. It's purposes are TO buy, sell and
deal in grain, provisions, live stock and all
kinds of produce on commission and other
wise, and for that purpose to build and
equip grain elevators, warehouses, cold
storage plants, stockyards and whatever
may be necessary to carry on the busi-
ness of the corporation. OF its capital
stock of S5O,0OO,OOO one-fourth will be used
for building elevators and plants, another
fourth for dealing in cash grain and pro-
visions on the Board of Trade, and the
remaining 100000 will be placed on de-
posit in various banks to be used by farm
ers in marketing their crops. 1t is said
books will be opened for stock subscriptions
diana. The Journals advice to the farmers
of Indiana is not TO have anything to do
Will the scheme. Admitting the good
faith Of It's promoters and incorporators
and their honest desire TO secure better
prices and markets for farm products, it
could only succeed by a large outlay of
money and the best kind of business man
agement. It is possible TO make such a
scheme look very plausible on paper, but
if the farmers are wise they will have
nothing to do with II.

An interesting feature of the unwilling
of a Louis Kossuth monument in Chicago
the latter part of this month will be the
presence of his son Francis. The latter is
a popular political leader in Hungary at
the present time. and is said to be very ap-
preciative of the honors once paid to his
father in America. The elder Kossuth's
visit to this country in 1851 was an event
of great current interest. Congress au-
thorized the President to send a govern
ment vessel to bring him to the United
States, and his stay here was almost a
continuous popular ovation. He is the
only foreign political refugee tina was ever
invited to address Congress, and he did so
in a speech OF great eloquence. Francis
Kossuth, the son. took the oath of allie
glance to the King of Hungary in 1892, but
if a revolution were to break out he would
be in the thick of it.
