Sbaretti to See president.

SboAS VII ~ WV - ASSASSub'
Special to the Record.
View York. March 24.-Much
interest is manifested in the
coming of Mgr. Sharretl, Apos-
tolic Delegate Extraordinary to
the Philippines, who is due to
arrive in New York today or to-
morrow on the steamer Kaiserin
Maria Theresa. Prior to receiv-
ing his present mission to the
Philippines Mgr. Sbaretti was
bishop of HAVANA, where he
won the esteem of all by reason
OF his wise administration of the
affairs of the church and the lib
erality of his views. Those &C
quainted with him regard him as
eminently fitted to cope with the
difficulties and complications sur
rounding the Catholic church in
the Philippines. Before pro
ceeding to his post Mgr. Sbaretti
will visit the president at Wash
iugton and confer also with Car
dinal Gibbons and other eminent
churchmen in this country re-
garding his mission.

HOLDS A CLUB
OYER GEN. MILES
Col. Watters0n Says Presi-

Washington, March "a. "A
Washington special to the Times
Democrat says: Henry Waiter
son, the distinguished journalist,
is Of the opinion that General
Miles is marked for punishment.
In an interview last night Mr..
Watterson said: "Little need be
added to what has been said al
ready as to the case of General
Miles. From the day when he
refused to become an orderly for
the administration he was mark
ed for punishment. While Mr..
Mckinley lived this was limited
to condem nation chiefly, but with
the advent of Mr.. Roosevelt a
more drastic course OF proceed
ing was adopted.
'The president fairly leaped
at the first chance to asssail and
humiliate General Miles, that of.
fered itself, or, rather, that
seemed to offer itself, for he had
as matter Of fact no authority,
either under the constitute of
the United States or the articles
of war, to reprimand the general
except for single offense.
''As l have repeatedly stated,
without contradiction or denial,
the only act for which, under the
articles of war, the president
may reprimand an officer, is in
decent behavior at divine wor-
ship. General Miles has not yet
been accused of that.
"To forge a pretext tor the
president, the law ruling in such
cases was shamefully garbled.

BEEF STEERS AND POLITICS.
Why Nebraska POpulists Decline to
Censure the Beef Trust.
New York Commercial

New York Commercial.
That there is a real shortage Of beef
cattle" at the sources OF supply in the west
is getting daily demonstration as authentic
reports from the ranges and farms come
forward.
Az long ago as last September and Octo.
Der the cattlemen realized that a scarcity
OF prime beef steers this spring was inevi-
table on account OF the heavy cost Of win
tering stock, due to the advance In the
price OF corn ana hay, and the far-sighted
among them are now reaping their rewards.
Only a few of the csttlemen comparatively
were able, however, to take advantage Of
the situation six months ago. Most Of them
were compelled TO market their stock In
the late fall. Those with capital and those
who could secure the cooperation of COM
mission men In getting money with which
to winter their holdings are the fortunate
ones. Seven cents a pound on the hoof
for cattle means big profits to some of
them.
And, strangely enough, 1t is having an
influence on western politics. Out in the
the voters were once almost solidly flu
sionists-that is, anti-republican, anti
railroads, antitrust, anti-monopoly, anti
money power, 'anti' almost every
thing that had any substance of stability
in 1t. But 1t is noted that at a meeting OF
the fusion state central committee last
week some democrats In that body
yearned TO take a fall out OF the beet
trust" In the shape of a denunciatory reso-
luton. But their populist brethren cried
NAY, nay" and promptly voted the
proposition down. ''With beef steers at 7
cents a pound on the hoof," they argued.
at isn't safe, 1t isn't polite, to make that
particular trust the target Of any pollt-
ical attacks"
There are CLEANS Of intelligence, 1t thus
appears, even In a Nebraska fusionist. He
knows a good trust" from a bad one.

In Pottawattamie county the east half

In view of the fact that Douglas county
made a direct donation Of $2JO,OO0 to
the bridge on which 1t has already paid
ove $4,000 in interest, the assessment
at S1,633 is too rank to be submitted to
with equanimity.

4 NEGLECTED QUESTION.

Congress continues TO neglect the ques-
ton Of reforming the consular service
and It appears to be understood that the
bills for this purpose which have been
introduced are shelved for this session.
In this congress ignores the request Of
all the principal commercial bodies in
the country and %disregards the judg-
ment of nearly everybody who has made
a study of the consular service and I'M
derstands its requirements. 1t is not
contended by anybody that the service
is not now, on the whole, more efficient
and useful TO the country than ever be-
fore, but it is urged that such being the
case offers a most suspicious oppor-
tunity for inaugurating reforms that
will insure permanent efficiency, retain
ing in the service those whose record
and proven ability give them claim to
retention and entirely divorcing the
service from politics.
There is no question that the United
States consular service now compares
favorably with that of any other coun-
try, but there can be no certainty that
1t will remain so If it is left open, as at
present, for the exploitation of poll
ticians. A change of administration at
Washington three years hence might
bring about a Generalization of the con-
sular service by replacing most of those
In the service with men wholly unac-
Quainted with it's duties. This is what
the advocates of reform seek to prevent
and it is most desirable in the interest
of our growing foreign m that
it should be prevented. The repub-
lican party has repeatedly declared in
favor of reforming the consular service
and it should not delay making good its
implied promise to do this.

TAX COMMISSIONERS SHOULD DO HIS

DUTY.
Tax Commissioners Fleming has asked
the city attorney whether he shall as
sess the railroad terminals, r~ight-of-way
and depots in Omaha for city purposes
at the ratio Of other property or take
the state boards valuation for next year
as the basis of assessment. Commits
sioner Fleming ~pointedly asks whether
the provision of the city charter requir-
ing the assessment of these terminals
and depot grounds on the mileage basis
fixed by the state board is constitutional.
The answer depends upon the con-
struction Of the constitution relative to
taxation. The constitution requires
every person or corporation to pay a tax
in proportion to the value Of his, her or
it's property and franchises. In other
words, the constitution contemplates the
assessment of all the property Of indi-
viduals and corporations on the same
basis of valuation for the same specific
purpose. The State Board of Equaliza-
ton has assessed the railroad terminals
and depots as railroad mileage on the
basis of about 8 per cent Of the value
Of the whole line and at about one
fourth Of 1 per cent of the value of the
properties located within the city Of
Omaha.
The tax commissioner has assessed all
other property within the city of Omaha
for municipal purposes at 40 per cent of
their actual value. Hence, the assess
ment of the railroad depots and termi-
nails at the mileage rate fixed by the
state board would not be in accordance
with the constitutional provision that
each corporation and individual shall
pay a tax in proportion to the value OF
his, her or its property and franchises.
The proper course for the tax commits
sioner to pursue is TO assess the railroad
terminals and improvements at the same
ratio to their actual market value that
he has assessed all the other classes OF
property for city taxation purposes. II

with other classes of property owners

let them appeal to the ourts and have

know where we are at.
This, Of course, applies also to the
Union Pacific bridge assessment. The
attempt to repudiate the tax on th'

for twenty-five years, should be resisted
and fought out in the courts. II tn,

CANADA AS A CUSTOMER.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Canadian tariff discrlminates in favor of
British merchandise to the extent of
33 1-3 per cent, the trade of the United
States with the Dominion steadily
grows. The Canadians do not feel espe-
cially friendly toward this country and
her statesmen are constantly deploring
the fact that we maintain u tariff on
the products of Canada and appear in
disposed to enter into n reciprocity
agreement with that country by which
It's agricultural products could have free
access to the American market. Yet
when it comes to the question Of bust
ness the Canadians prefer American
goods to British, the obvious reason be-
ing that they are better and as cheap or
cheaper.
This is a condition which quite natur-
ally trets the Canadian politicians and
It is said that the ministry views with
ill-concealed dismay the growth Of ex-
ports from the United States to the
Dominion. The question Of increasing
the tariff on American products is still
being more or less discussed and has
some earnest advocates, but 1t is doubt
full II popular sentiment would support
the government In such a policy, which
would compel the people to pay more for
what is imported from the United States,
or buy British goods which they do not
want. The situation presents a some
what perplexing dilemma for Canadian
statesmen, who can expect no change
in the trade relations with this country
until they have a more equitable prop
osition to submit than has yet been
made.

HEROES AMONG THE FLAMES.
Surprising Example of VaIOr In the
HRrbOr of st, Pierre.

HRrbOr of st. Pierre.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Captain Freeman's own story of his flight
which fell upon St. Pierre has reached
New York at second hand. The facts are
we'll enough authenticated to show that the
feat will stand unique in the history OF he
roic devotion, even as the destruction OF
st. Pierre stands unique in the suddenness
and completeness with which the city was
wiped out. Nothing like this wave OF ere
which swept down upon the town In ad-
vance Of the food of lava, and which swept
far out over the harbor, consuming ship
ping as II 1t had been waste paper, has
been known in the history Of disasters.
And Just as this cloud Of FIRE was I'M
preeedented in its fieroeness and the wide
embrace Of Its sweeping arms, so the odds
against which this brave man brought his
ship and the Ave crippled men left to
help work her, "out from the jaws OF
death, out from the mouth of hell" stands
unprecedented in the annals OF brave deeds.
The honor roll Of heroes Is too long for
recital, but where the danger and the brav-
cry OF Captain Freeman may have been
equaled many times, there was In his case
q rising above injuries which might we'll
have proved fatal, a long endurance Of tor
ture. an exercise Of the most acute judg-
ment in the midst of mortal pain, as we'll
as the sight OF suffering which he was
powerless to relieve. which sets his hero
ism apart in kind II not in degree from
