War Taxes Come Off
July l, 1902, The Date.

The house committee on ways
and means has unanimously autho-
rized Chairman Payne to report a
bill repeating all the Spanish war
revenue taxes except the tax on
mixed flour. -
The repeal is to take effect July
l, 1902, except the duty on tea,
which is to take effect Jan. l, 1908.
Chairman Payne made statement
showing that the total reduction
would be 81, 10000 annually.
The delay in the repeal of the
tax on tea is for the purpose of en-
aiding those who have stocks on
hand to dispose of them before the
repeal takes effect. @
Mr.. Payne says the country will
start upon the next fiscal year with
STA, 1000, 900 available cash.
An amendment was offered by
Mr.. Newlands to except from the
repeal the tax on petroleum and
sugar re6ners, and by Mr.. Richard
son to repeal the customs duties on
trust made goods. Both were de-
feated by party votes.
Mr.. Newlands' amendment also
provided for a tax of one-tenth of |
per cent. on the gross receipts of
all corporations whose annual re-
celpts exceed $lO,000,000.

Prince Not Wanted.
Kaiser's Brother Will Not Be
Asked 10 Visit Baltimore.

Baltimore, Feb. 4.-The City
Council of Baltimore refuses to ex.
tend an official invitation to Prince
Henry, who is scheduled to stop
here twenty minutes en- route to
Washington.
When the resolution of the first
branch was read IN the second
branch late last NIGHT Major Rich
ard NJ. Venable, whose influence
in the upper house of the munich
pal Legislature is potent, moved to
lay 1t on the table. In offering
his motion Major Venable said:
81 don't care one cent for Prince
Henry, whether he comes here or
not. was brought up to despise
princes. 1t was bred IN my bones.
IF he came here on level with
other peope l would be ready to
receive him.
Councilman Smith suggested
that the Princes train was SEIZED.
uled to stop here twenty minutes.
..Let him get some beer then,"
was Major Venable's rejoiner. The
motion to Law it on the table was
carried without discussion.
Those arranging the trip for the
Prince agreed that the royal train
should stop here only upon the
earnest request Of Major Hayes and
the Chamber of Commerce.
Consul Won Lipgin, the Kaiser's
representative here, is furious over
the action of the Council and
to have the order to stop
here annulled.

Editor st. Tommany FARMER:
As l never see anything in your
valuable paper from around Verger
l thought ! would endeavor to
give you a few notes from our
thriving and advancing community.
The farmers are rapidly pre-
pairing for another large crop OF
cotton and corn, which the farmers
IN this section OF st. Tammany,
are SO successful in raising. Last
year our farmers raised splendid
crop of cotton, corn, potatoes and
other farm products.
Messrs. Alex and Wash Black
we'll made a trip to Frankllnton
last Saturday, on business ! sup
pose, as they are two hustling
farmers Of our vicinity.
Mr.. Paul Verger, our Postmaster
and member of School Board, came
home Saturday to spend the day
with his family. Glad to see you
Paul, come back again when you
haven't long stay.
Mr.. G. W. Corkern, of Peace
Grove, La, came out and spent a
day with his friend and school
mate, Eddie Blackwell, last week.
Come again Wilton, we are always
glad to see pleasant faces.
Last, but not least, our school,
''The Upper BLACKWELL" will end
for the winter term next Friday.
1t has been a successful one, and
our teacher, Miss Ozzie Sylvest,
will depart for her home at Rich
ardson, La.
This school, which has become
one of the best public schools Of
this, the Second Ward, principally
owes its existence to the successful
management of our able Superin-
tendent, Mr.. JOS. B. Lancaster,
who has done so much for the ad-
vancement of public education In
St. Tammany Parish.

500, and not with 4so.
In other words, Mr.. Hanscom says,
so far as Ellsworth is concerned;
Gentlemen, throw out Ellsworth al
together. II yon can't see your way
clear to do that, throw out wards 3
and 4. II that, too, goes 'agin your
grain, give whitcomo 500 and not
4s0. And, by the way, give me 100 in
stead OF 100, for nine were called de-
fective which we're really intended
for me-
II ia hard to conceive OF holder
piece Of effrontery than 10 exhibited
In this petition. IN one breath the
petitioner pleads for the waiving OF
technicalities that win increase his
own vote, and in the next demands
that the entire vote OF n city be
thrown out because certain techni-
calities were not Observed
Is q whole city or even ward to be
DISTINGUISHED because of a clerical
error, whether wilful or accidental, OF
q ward officers We doubt 1t.
There was not The slightest sus-
picion of fraud in the election In Els
worth; the result was perfectly well
known the night of the election, and
not a suggestion OF change In the
vote as then declared has since been
made by any OF her citizens. 1t is
difficult to understand why Mr.. Hans
com should demand that a thousand
voters shall be disfranehised because
OF an alleged error OF ward clerk.
No Just criticism can be made Of
Mr.. Hanscou, or OF any other candi-
date, in making every effort to secure
all that belongs TO him, but It strikes
US as altogether absurd for him to ask
that technicalities be waived where
such action would benefit him, and
ask that they be vigorously adhered
TO where II would adversely affect his
opponent
We very much doubt II the specsoas
plea OF the reverend gentleman will
have much weight with the present
governor and his council
