A Famous European Tree.

On of the most famous tress In Europe
was recently destroyed by a storm. 1t
was n poplar and had stood for centu-
ries near Wittstock, in Germany OF
great size. II was also remarkable for
the historical events with which 1t was
connected. as well as for the fact that
in course of time some of its branches
had assumed grotesque forms OF ami
mails. The branches were SO interlaced
and twisted that at one point they pre-
sented the appearance OF monkey pre-
pairing to climb TO the top.
This tree was popularity known as the
Swedish tree" because 1t was a witness
OF the battle OF September "a, 1886, in
which the Swedes fought against the
Germans. II was also known as the
"Bancr poplar" because Generals Baner
and Torstenson knelt beneath IT and
thanked God for giving the en- the victory.

which grew beside It. was uninjured by
the storm. and with the object OF pre-
serving It more effectually an iron rail-

Mr.. Bell Explains His Canal Vote.

Bell of Colorado said:
II voted against the conference report

anna route is best for world canal,
probably. 1t is quite as advantageous
to the European shippers as to ours.
Those opposing any canal, supported
the Panama route, because they think
this may fail, or delay connecting the
two oceans. or If we must have a canal,

INCREASED TAXATION NOT NEEDED;
CURRENT REVENUES SUFFICIENT.

The present is a critical period in
the history of the District of Column
bia, for the burden Of making the new
and greater Washington is upon us.
1t may. however, be contended that
many of our difficulties are more ap-
parent than real, and that with a
proper and business-like administra-
ton of the affairs of our government
some, if not all of them, as serious as
they appear to be, can be readily re-
moved.
The District of Columbia being the
home of the United States Govern
nent. and the Capital of great coun-
try of untold resources, with a popu-
lation Of more than seventy millions
Of patriotic people and treasury re-
serve of many millions of dollars, it
therefore must not be regarded as an
ordinary municipality, nor classed

local necessities and requirements.
Here we must have national sew

of the Government with reference to
its extensive public buildings and
grounds, national educational sys-
TEN, and a large number of public
school houses, because we are called
upon to educate thousands of the
children OF members of Congress
and their relatives, of clerks in the
various departments and their rela-
tives from all parts of the country,
while in addition thereto we are re-
quired by Congress to make national
streets, avenues, national parks, and
reservations; for every street, park,
avenue, and building, present and
prospective, is and very properly

should not be treated or regarded as
such by Congress. 1t is not so re-

There are and there always will be
three classes Of improvements to be

First Those that are purely ma

purposes of the United States Gov

Second-Those that are semi-na-

Surrounded by fellow-members, Mr..

den upon every community, and these
local improvements can be readily
classified as ordinary and extraordi-
nary. Ordinary improvements are
well known and understood to be those
which are annually required and
necessary for the immediate comfort
and purposes of our people for the
present and accruing from year to
year; or, in other words, they they are cur
rent expenses. and current revenues
are sufficient to meet current expenses
when they are properly classified
our trouble is that this is not done.
Those which are extraordinary are for
the benefit. of course, of the present
generation, but much more for the
benefit of future generations and in
volving enormous expense far too
great to be equitably charged to pres
ent taxpayers; therefore they should
properly be provided for from the
proceeds of bond issue.
These are simple propositions easi-
ly solved and, if practically under
stood, it would be readily ascertained
that there does not exist in the Dis
triet of Columbia a necessity for in
creased taxation. Private improve
ment will, in the future as in the past,
follow public advantages, thereby
causing increased revenues, and the
District of Columbia will develop and
improve to an extent not heretofore
and,it will become what
it ought to be-the admiration of the
world. Our people will find them
selves prosperous and happy without
being burdened with taxation beyond
their ability to bear as citizens of a
city such as Washington is, and, | as
sumo. must always be, unless more
encouragement is given to commercial
trade and manufacturing-which is
not likely.

years that point to Democratic success. ."
