vid1nS for Their Taxation.
Two constitutional amendments were
introduced in the senate this morning,
the first, by Senator Sivright. providing
for tonnage tax on all iron ore mined in
the state; and the second, by Senator
Baldwin, providing for the taxation of
foreign corporations doing business in
this state. The Baldwin amendment is
a duplicate Of the amendment introduced
by the Duluth senator earlier In the ses-
sion, and the copy Of which has been lost.
1t was referred to a subcommittee, but
cannot now be found. The Sivright
amendment is as follows
The legislature, may in its discretion impose
a tonnage tax upon all iron ore, mined in this
state, in lieu of tax unon the land from
which the same is removed. and may in its
discretion provide for a taxation Of the mine
output, by tonnage tax or otherwise, and
also upon the land, or, for tonnage tax upon
the output under certain conditions and a
tax upon the land under certain other condi-
tons, to be specified and may in it's discre-
ton provide for the grading of a tonnage tax,
according to quality OF ore, or upon any other
basis, and may in it's discretion. provide the
manner in which any and all taxes upon min

shall be distributed.

A NOTABLE TRIBUTE.

Last Thursday night there was given in
New Orleans an illustration of that broad
spirit which so greatly becomes our
churches. and which seems to be increas-
ing among the religious denominations
generally.
At a meeting of the board of directors
OF the congregation of Temple Sinai. a
body composed of prominent Hebrew citi-
zens. memorial services were held in hon
or of the late. Dr. Benjamin NJ. Palmer.
After appropriate remarks b. several
speakers resolutions were adopted, which
embodied the following tribute to the IL
lustrious dead:
1--WE had looked upon him for many
decades as our eminent example Of earn
est and enlightened citizenship. At every
crisis in the destinies Of our city and
state he had spoken out boldly and pow
erfuIIy for the aspirations of the patriot,
for the conscience OF the citizen.
I'VE had learned 70 love MIN as a great
teacher of religious liberation and unsec-
tartan humanity. To him the voice OF
faith was a call unto peace and love; In
his large heart difference OF conviction
could never trench upon the titles to
brotherhood.
I'VE reverenced him as a true minister,
an humble and sincere servant of the
most sacred OF callings. We honored his
deep piety. his genuine spirituality, as an
inspiration 10 religious living. as an in
nuence that maze for the higher life in
all who knew him.
In common with our brothers of other
faiths we thank an all-kind Providence
for the gift of this noble man; we deplore
his taking off as an irreparable loss; we
extend 10 his congregation ana 10 his
family our deep and sincere coincidence;
we shall inscribe this expression of APP
probation upon our minutes, while In life
we shall ever hold dear the memory of
our venerated friend
These words tell how a large number
of Hebrews in race and Jews in religion
felt toward one who had no racial kin
ship with them, and who differed from
them radically in religion
These resolutions are as honorable to
the directors of Temple Sinai as to the
memory Of DR.. Palmer.
Few men OF his time so richly deserved
this great tribute as the great prince in
Israel on whose tomb 1t was laid by the
representative Jews Of the great city
which he served so illustriously and who
honored and loved him as it did. perhaps,
no other man.

admits the truth of Governor Bullock's
statement, and in commenting on It,
says:
1.-The implication Of that Is that the
whites I'm Georgia are chiefly If not ex-
clusively Democrats, and that In local
elections the blacks of property and
standing usually vote with them. But
on national questions there has always
since the war been a fair showing Of
Republican strength in that state, con-
sadering its location and the race condi-
tons prevailing there. In 1900 the vote
stood, for Bryan, s1,TOO; for Mckinley
s5,0S5. In 1896 II was, for Bryan, 1892;
for Mckinley, 6O,091. There was therefore
a large falling off In the four years both
in the total vote and in the number OF
votes for the two candidates. Excepting
IN 1884, 1896 and 1900 the Democratic vote
at presidential elections in Georgia since
ana including 1876 has exceeded 100000,
one year reaching the number of 12l,O4s,
with a Republican vote that year Of
s6SSs."

MARKET GARDENING.

How many southern farmers have learn
ed to grow choice vegetables for their
own tables. not to speak of raising them
for market?
It is the things the farmer does not
grow that we are discussing and it is
a mighty poor sort of farm life where
there is no attention paid to table vege-
tables-such as city people deem essential
to every well-ordered meal
Look at what the city people buy from
the gardeners and then go home and
look at your own garden If you want
TO feel cheap" as the saying goes.
Not only should the farmer have plenty
of good things to eat from his garden,
but he should have the very best, because
he can have them fresh and therefore
better than market wagons generally
supply.
Lettuce that is wilted. beans that are
tough, tomatoes ready to rot, peas too
hard to cook are oftentimes sold to city

rRouRLE IN CUBA.

The negro question has doomed up in
Cuba. According to special sent to the
New Orleans Democrat. there exists a
distinct color line in Cuba. The outbreak
is likely to come when President Palma
issues invitations to his reception which
is to be held some time during this
month.
If he does not send the colored people
an invitation, they will take action
against him, for they are already Issuing
threats. and If he does invite them, then
the best element of Cuban society will
stay away.
Since the establishment OF the Cuban
republic they have been insistent for So
cial and military recognition, and claim
there was no color line while they were
lighting for their liberties, and there
should exist no color line now.
The special says the negro question has
never been so important in that country
as now. They had an association called
Veterans of Color" but they declare
that the association is disbanded ana
all who fought in the war are veterans
and they must be entitled to recognition

The TRuTH oE The MATER.

The Rochester. New York, Democrat
and Chronicle OF November LIST contains
an editorial, based on an interview with
Ex-Governor Rufus B. Bullock, of Geor-
gia, concerning the alleged "disfranchise-
ment OF negroes in the south, that is
highly interesting.
Ex-Governor Bullock, as is well known,
was the only Republican governor Geor-
gia ever had-and, as time and experience
have demonstrated. his administration
was one of the best. Be it also known
that Ex-Governor Bullock, though he
served faithfully in the Confederate
army, was born and reared in the north.
Being both a northern man by birth,
and a Republican in politics. what he
says about negro suffrage in the south
VIII. perhaps. gain more than ordinary
consideration from the people Of the
north.
Governor Bullock is now spending some
time In Albion, n. Y, the home of his
boyhood. in a communication to the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. en-
deavorins to enlighten his northern
friends on this matter OF negro suffrage
in the south, he says:
''The black voters are as free to exer-
else their franchise as the whites. but
each year reduces the number Of colored
voters because the rank and file of them
neglect or refuse TO pay the 81 poll tax
required Of all those, white or black. who
have no property. Those blacks who do
own and pay tax on property usually and
wisely vote with their white neighbors
for local officials, so that the black race
is not a growing attaOhment to the Re
publican party in Georgia"
The Democrat and Chronicle partially
