 The attempt to draw sympathy to Admiral Sampson in his present con dition is all right so far as it goes. The whole trouble with Sampson, however, is that he tried to take from Admiral Schley the honor which by right he won when he defeated the Spaniards at Santiago. Sampson as everyone knows, was miles away when the vic tory was won, and yet on his return he refused to treat even with courtesy the man who was in command of the ships during his absence. If Sampson and the crowd that has been egging him on have any heart-burnings at this time, when they witness and read about the Schley demonstrations, they have only themselves to blame for 1t. They tried to crowd out Sehley, and the people wouldn't allow it; that is all there Is to it.

The house of representatives at Washington has passed the urgent de ficiency bill, but did not until the dem- ocrats had compelled MT Cannon to amend the. wording of the appropria> ton of the clause providing $500,000 for the establishment of a military bar racks at Manila. Sixteen democrats voted for the bill, not because they ap- proved of the course of the administra- ton in the Philippines, but because they felt that American soldiers should be provided with comfortable quarters wherever they were. There Is, in fact, reason to believe that many other dem- ocrats would have voted for the propo- sition had their votes been necessary to carry it and upon the same ground but so long as the republicans had the strength to enact the measure they felt it to be their duty to protest against the imperialistic policy of the administration.

No State Tax Levy.

ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 31.-The state board of tax commissioners in it's an- nual report to the legislature says that It is probable that during the current year it may be unnecessary to prepare m equalization table, as it is antici- pated that the constitutional require ments of a small exaction for canal bonded indebtedness may be satisfac- torily provided for without any direct tax levy. This will permit the state board in it's annual conferences with the local assessors to pay more atten- ton to equalization between tax dis tricts and to give instruction to as- sessors along the lines Of local duties. There was an increase in 1891 in the assessed valuation of real and personal property of $1O5, 161, ,629, which repre- sented an increase in real of $15,62O,- 217 and in personal of $29, ,541, ,412.

 BETTER SCHOOLS IN GEORGIA.

Ware county is going to vote on Feb ruary 1 on the question of levying g local tax for school purposes. There ought to be no doubt as to the result of the election. Ware is one of the progressive counties of the state, and We venture to predict that the major. ity in favor of the tax will be big one.
 Georgia is doing a great deal of rail- road building and will continue to do a great deal for years to come. and her railroads are increasing her wealth and population. but if one-half as much money were spent on schoolhouses and in supporting schools Us there is in building railroads the development of the states resources would be twice as great as 1t Is.
 The countries which refuse to tax themselves for schools. depending wholly on the small amount they get from the state school fund. are stand ing in their own light. As long as they pursue that policy they will have req son to wonder why 1t is that home seekers pass them by. why it is that their lands do not advance in value. and why it is that there is no increase from year to year Tn their tax returns They are poor and will remain poor. Tn order to advance progressive meth- ods must be adopted. and good com mon schools arc one of these methods. Savannah News.

IS ALMOST PACIFIED.
Philippine Archipelago Is As suming Peaceful Conditions.
SAMAR THE CHIEF STORM CENTER.
General Chafyee Hopes by the End of February to Announce Complete Control With the Exception
 of That Island.

! MANILA, Jan. 31.-The general out look for pacifcation in the archipelago everywhere outside of the island of Samar has never been more favorable than at the present time since the original outbreak of the Filipino insur- rection. The insurgents have been broken up into small bands and are everywhere fleeing for shelter. Daily they surrender, are captured or are killed.
 The policy of recommendation and the stern measure of closing the ports to commerce have accomplished every thing expected of them General Chaf- fee still hopes that by the end of Feb ruary the island of Samar alone will remain not pacifed.
 Those provinces bordering on the provinces of Batangas and Laguna In southern Luzon, have been patrolled by the native constabulary, who have done excellent work and who have re- ceived the commendation of General J. Franklin Bell, commanding in those provinces.
 The members of the United States Philippine commission are proud of this constabulary, which was organ ized following their suggestion, and the greatest care is exercised in the se- lection of officers for this force. Dur ing the past month eighty-two military posts have been handed over to the native consta bulary.
 General Chaffee has taken effective steps to make sure that there will be no friction between the military and civil authorities. The most positive orders have been issued to all military commanders to cooperate in every way with the civil authorities, with out relaxing in severity, when they have occasion to deal with active in- surgentS.

He declared that it would be a physic- al impossibility to comply with the provisions of such law.
 A letter from John B. Stanchfeld in opposition to the bill was read. He represented the Erie railroad and de- clared the adoption of such bill would work a hardship on that road
