General Shafter did nothing at
Santiago but sit in hammock and

statement was made by Major George

Major Hunter is in active service.
He is in command of a division of the

Cardinal Gibbons Salary.

The Sun of Baltimore recently repro
duced portions Of an outspoken essay
from a Protestant source on the rea-
sons why the church is losing its hold
on the masses Considerable feeling
has been aroused by some statements
made by the writer and ''ublic dis
cussion has been precipitated. Though
the original article was written solely
from a Protestant standpoint, Rev.
John 4. Whelan, pastor Of the church
of St. Mary Star of the Sea, Baltimore,
has been induced to give an expression
to his views. The following passage
is Of unusual interest:
Gas to the charge Of ambition and
avaricc being the ruling vices of the
clergy, that, too, does not hold good
in the Catholic church.
"In many Protestant denominations,
understand, if a congregation is not
pleased with the ministrations of a
man Or with his preaching he is in
vited to take his departure. In the
Catholic church the priest is assigned
to his position by his bishop The
question of salary has no place in the
appointment. Salaries Of two, three,
four or five thousand dollars are not I'M
common among the Protestant clergy.
l wonder how many people are aware
that the salary Of the head Of the
Plfmatial See in the United States
Cardinal Gibbons--is exactly $1,000 Il
year?
Thousands of the Catholics in our
own city-mot to speak Of those else

torists. Passionists, Benedictines or

ders receive no salary at all for their

Eat Tampa the whole management of
affairs was so tainted with politics as

the situation.

"The trouble with us in the late war
was that there were too many soda
water colonels."
When interviewed later Major Hun
ter said: Eyes, did say that General
Shafter sat in hammock and mopped
sweat from his brow. All army officers
know it to be true. 1t Is history and
why not print it now?
Eyes, have approved the majority
Of criticisms made by Mr.. Bigelow. 1t
is fact that the military arm of the
nation needs improvement, both as to
commissioned and non-cOmmissioned
officers. The time Of serving for the
latter is too short and the pay too
little Then in action there Is dispo-
sition on the part of the officers to
plead with the men instead of giving
them orders. What has crippled our
service is the political preference shown
in appointments to West Point and
other positions in the army. Again,
too many uneducated men are given
commands"

''In conclusion, sir, this being our

o Irish members to lose no chance of
emphasizing Irish views. We are
threatened with new rules and lessened

from one third to one-twenty fifth.
The main taxable resources have, Of
course, moved on the same lines. The
incomes of the Irish wage-earners,
man for man, are little over half
those of Britain. The gross yearly
wealth of all Ireland is about seventy
millions, while that Of Britain is
about fourteen hundred millions; and.
allowing for subsistence at the same
scale, the taxable surplus is for Ire
land perhaps fifteen millions, for Brit
ain one billion. The truth is that
the comparative taxable capacity Of
Ireland has enormously declined.
(Hear, hcar.)
"And thus reason and equity, the
acts and the pledges demand that her
load of taxation should be lightened
(Hear, hear, and cheers) But, alas!
there is in Ireland just one comparative
as well as absolute advance-and that
is in the taxes. (Hear, hear) In Ire
land the taxes of commodities, which
strike the masses, were, in 1920, lis,
in 1894, 22s.-they were doubled. III
Britain they were in 1920, 49s.; in
1894, 24s.-they were halved. Spite Of
her relatively lessened capacity Ire.
lands taxation has been leveled up to
identity. The result is that the bulk
T, of the scanty Irish surplus is abolished
in taxation, local and imperial while
but fraction, say tithe, Of the Brit
ish surplus is so taken. AS Grattan
predicted, the feathers weight of the
burden staggers Ireland; she remains
comparatively depressed and poor.
while Britain wakes fat and wanton in
wealth and strength. Nothing can do
away with these damning facts. (Hear,
hear)
"Umonists plead, indeed, that Ire
land costs more to govern than Britain
Yes! The allen rule of an unreconcile1
people will always be costly in Ireland
and South Africa alike. Nor does an
Imperial scale suit an impoverished
country. A standing army to coerce
the people, judicial establishment
scandalously overstaffed and overpaid
to bribe the bar-these are samples Of
the British mismanagement which is to
excuse their overtaxation! 1t is their
fault if but little remains for what
they call Imperial Objects
"The act does not admit, nor do we
recognize, any such division. We ac-
knowledge a statutory obligation to
contribute to the whole budget in pro-
portion to our taxable capacity, no
matter how little we profit by or how
much we hate the object. (Cheers.)
But df these Unionists will become
Separatists, and frame federal and
state budgets, they drive us to discuss
the justice of their new claims. First,
their division is absurdly wrong. Next,
their permanent naval and military ex-
penditure and the war debts form the
bulk Of their imperial budget. 1t is
mainly an insurance premium for their
great trade, in which we have no sub
stantial share. The profits Of that
trade should bear that premium. But
sometimes, as now, there is extraordi
nary expenditure in the effort to break
free people to unconditional submis-
sion to conqueror's will, policy alb
horrent to our souls, and in whose
profits we neither expect nor wish to
share. The course of government is re-

The Tariff and Taxes.

"A large minority of the Repub-
lican party who would like to be
honest oppose the tariff at all times
except when there is an election at
hand."- Exchange.
There is no question of national
policy upon which there is greater
unanimity among Republicans than
the principle of protective tariff.
They may differ in the application
of the principle in detail for it is an
especially complicated process in
practice.
Some people pretend to be oppos-
ed to the tariff on the ground that it
is tax. The same people are OPP
posed to taxes in any shape. They
seem to think that all taxes are SUI
perfuity; that the $2o,ooo,ooo of
taxes raised annually in Wisconsin
is SO much money thrown away or
given to charity. The industrious
earn this money and pay it for the
support of those who earn nothing.
And son the face of the returns
they seem to be about half right.
But this is mistaken idea; mar
row view. Taxes are voluntary
contributions. The people, in the
aggregate, determine upon the adj
visibility of contributing to the pub
lie needs. 1t is supposed that the
expenditure of these taxes benefits
the individual. In civilized coun-
tries there is community Of inter.
ests. The application Of taxes oper-
ates to the advantage Of the individ-
ual, the district, the township, the
county, city, state, and nation.
In respect to the collection anC
expenditure of taxes the communi-
ty becomes an immense Estrust," &C.
complishing UNNECESSARILY more in
this combined capacity for the indi.
vidual than he could for himself
No man who has his own interest
wisely in view should object to the
imposition, and application of taxes
when such taxes are judiciously and
honestly applied.

The Barbarian!

President Roosevelt said at West
Point, to soldiers: GA soldier should
not only be willing to fight, but
anxious to fight" Because of this
utterance Mr.. Bryan calls the Presi-
dent blood thirsty barbarian-a
statement which only emphasizes the
already demonstrated fact that w. J.
Bryan is an arrant demagogue. This
is manifestation to prove what you
want shown by ex parte evidence.
The negro preacher attempted to
excuse chicken stealing by announc-
ing the text: "Let him who stole
steal"-leaving out the emphatic
part of the command--s'Let him that
stole steal no more" 1t would be
proper to enquire, in considering
Roosevelt's remark, what a soldier
is for? Is he expected to run away
when he is hired and instructed to
fightf 1t is a we'll known fact that
in time of war it is easy to recruit
the army, while in time of peace ii
is difficult to get men to enlist. The
fellow who doesn't want to fight
when there is an occasion for it isn't
worth anything in the army. AL
this w. J. Bryan knows as well as
does Theodore Roosevelt and hi:
attempt to misconstrue plain, hon
est statement of fact confirms the
general conviction that it is his in
tention to appeal to ignorance anc
prejudice.

The Seasons.

I often smile. and still more often sigh,
In noting how the passing seasons fly;
The seasons that so swiftly come and go,
Bringing their fruits AND flowers; their rain
or snow.
Seasons of JOY; seasons of woe and grief;
Anxiety and tears, and calm relief
Financial seasons when W. count our gains,
Or mourn our losses with the direSt pains
Seasons of folly not confined to youth,
Seasons of falsity, and those of blessed truth
Seasons when we our hearts to fame have
given,
Repentant seasons; fitting our souls for
heaven.
Seasons in which we seek ambitions ends,
Seasons of sweetness spent in making
friends;
Seasons of work in which our chiefest aim,
Seems but to win the right to rest the weary
frame.
Seasons of hope, in which we build q home;
Seasons of wild unrest; afar we roam;
When far from home and all the friends that
bless.
Seasons OF freedom, seasons OF prison fare,
Seasons of deep content, of wild despair;
Seasons of mirth, seasons of discomfort.
The season comes Of peace when all the rest
are spent.

Settled.

A colored preacher asserts that the
cause of the eruption of Mt. Pelee
and other volcanoes was caused by
the Standard Oil Co. 1t has pumped
so much petroleum from the earth
that there isn't enough grease to
keep the axles of the earth lubricat-
ed and hence this squeaking and
grinding instanced by volcanic erup-
tons and earthquakes. This state
ment only confirms the announce
ment of a college professor in Cali
fornia who asserted that the recent
earthquakes in that state were caused
by the settling of the earth's crust in
a region where the petroleum had
been pumped out. This is a case
where theology and science agree!

9th, 1902, inclusive. This show
will be held under the auspices of
the Milwaukee Industrial EXPOSE
ton Association, the directors of
which decided this year to make a
display that would appeal particu-
larly to lovers of outdoor life, and
which would at the same time serve
to make better known the attrac-
tions of Wisconsin as a field for
sport and recreation.
In addition to the sportsman S
show the management has decided
to add another class of goods which
enter into every hunting and camp
ing outfit, viz: Pure Food Products
all of the timed meats, vegetables
ETC., cereals, chocolate and malt
beverages that enter into the outfit

In her earlier campaigns against

diers were raw. They had not
been taught the art of war. To
them the rifle was strange nipple
ment, an implement with (which
they were obliged to familarize
themselves in the field. This expe-
rience has taught the nation a les
son, and while no great number of
men will be held in the army the
practice in the use of firearms will
be encouraged by the government.
Rifle ranges for such practice are
being opened all over the country
with the determination to make a
large number Of men eligible to

use of fire arms. Our government
may take a hint from this and en-

of standing army-an army under
instruction and discipline during
times of peace-is seen in the supe-

to raw recruit in action as a man
