Cuban Distress Inevitable.

81 have never doubted that Cuba
would be in distress unless the price of
sugar advanced or she was enabled to
receive in some degree the advantage
of the increased price paid by the Amer
lean consumer as the result OF our tariff.
THE difficulty with Cuba is that her
large sugar plantations are, and have
been. heavily mOrtgaged for years, and
that the rescue of the sugar planters
from general liquidation depends upon
their receiving an increased price Tor
sugar. This liquidation will probably
take place during the coming year and
these large estates will be sold. The
mere change Of ownership OF the plan

of their owners would do no great in

During the last season the wages Of

STEWART LASHES
STATES PRISONS
President of the Commission
Says These institutions Are
in a DepIorabIe Condition.

ALBANY, N. y, Dec. 3.-President
LAspenard Stewart, of the State Prison
Commission. presented reports of in
spections recently made by him of
State penal institutions at the meeting
OF the commission to-day. He criticised
severely certain conditions which pre-
vail at Auburn prison. declared the
R~eformatory at Elmira to be over
crowded and that the enforcement OF
the state Civll-ServIce law prevents
the employment OF suitable officials at
the House OF Refuge for Women at
Hudson.
In dealing with Auburn prison Mr..
Stewart states that while in the main
the buildings are in good condition,
there is a pressing need for Immediate
Improvement in the condition OF the
cells for condemned prisoners.
They are HORRIBLE ne says; badly
lighted, lily ventilated ana untidy. No
man about to die should be required

The method OF transferring prisoners
Is sharply criticised, Mr.. Stewart say
ION the day of Inspection thirty men
, were received from the Elmira Re-
formatory. Before the passengers from
me o6nST coaches had Isft the st ahSH
were handcuned together and shackled
together, and chains passed through
the handouts, so that perhaps ten or
twelve men were fastened together.

ARGUES FOR
A FRANCHISE TAX.
Attorneys Insist that the Law
Is Constitutional and Can Be
Enforced by the Authorities.

ALBANY, Dec. 3.-The State pre-
scented TO the Appellate Division to-day
Its argument In behalf of the Special
Franchise Tax act. The arguments
Were presented by Deputy Attorney
General Henry b. Conan and ]. New
ton, Fiero, special counsel to the State
Board of Tax Commissioners. Mr.. Co.
man held hat the law does not violate
any provision OF the Federal legislation
prohibiting the impairment of the obli-
CATION OF a contract, since the franchise
to use the street Is property and tax
able as such. To escape taxation 1t
must come under some we'll settled rule
OF exemption. N a claim for exemp-
tion from taxation as against the State
must be very clearly shown. No such
exemption is shown on the part of New
York City corporations and M contract
either express or implied exists on the
part OF the State that any of the cor
porations shall not be subject to tax
alton on their franchises.
He further argued that the authorities
did not sustain the corporations conten-
htion; hat they are not free from taxa
ton by reason OF any express or implied
agreement contained in the grant of
their franchises. and further insisted
that II by any possibility the language
Of the charters granted by the city OF
New York to the corporations could be
held to exempt them from taxation such
provisions are void as not within the
city. He cited in support of these views
recent cases in the State and Federal
courts.
Mr.. Fiero argued that the law is
capable OF enforcement. The value of
the special franchise for purposes OF
taxation can be IA has been ascer-
tanned and determined by the State
Board with a reasonable degree OF GER
talnty.
The Tax Commissioner considered
every element which entered Into the
value OF the franchises assessed by it
and excluded all others as appears by
the return md the evidence, The act
does not require the Commissioners to
assess separately each right or privl-
leEs to use streets or highways. The
provisions OF the legislation. with refer
ence to home rule, by which local Off
GERS are required to be elected or ap-
pointed by local authorities. is not vio-
lated by the act since the State Board
of Tax Commissioners are In no sense
local officers, but are State officers.

TTHE medical profession has so thorough

against patent medicines that 1t is
with great reluctance that any one can be
persuaded to try such a remedy at FIRST.
In nearly every one OF the thousands OF
remarkable cures that Peruna has made the
patients had to be persuaded by friends very
strongly before they could lay aside their
prejudice against It.
A large multitude. OF course. hold out
against the persuasions of friends and die
simply because they have allowed their
minds TO be poisoned against this very ex-
cellent remedy.
But fortunately there is another largo
multitude of people who are able to shake
on their prejudice and try Peruna before It
is too late. These people are rarely disap-
pointed.
They generally try other remedies at the
beginning Of their troubles: Ihey allow 2
