TAXATION.

The question Of taxes is one
that comes hcme to every prop
erty owner or one who has been
wise and Industrious enough to
accumulate money. The incomes
from landed property and farming
are not remunerative enough to
stand all the heavy drains made
upon them, especially taxes for
which there are no returns, ex
cept as the law gives one in pro-
lection. All is outgo and the
burden is light or onerous just in
proportion as public expenditures
are wise, just and economic or
extrayagant; hence the impor-
tance Of judicious selection OF
public officials.
The heaviest burden OF taxation
falls upon the residents of lncor-
porated towns and factories situ-
ated in towns. The taxes in such
cities are usually double the coun
ty levy. This brings just two
taxatioDs upon the same property
and makes the owners feel like
abolishing such corporations and
letting every town become a coun-
try locality, as Memphis did a
few years ago.
Prosperity has not encom
passed the masses as some fluent
writers would make us believe,
and taxes are no easy burden for
the most Of people. All factories
and infant industries should be
exempt from taxation until they
become strong and self-sustain,
ing. We know that taxes, like
death, are inevitable: we simply
wish to call attention to it to re.
duce Canton's expenditures by
those who hold the purse strings
of the public, state, county and
municipal.

I TO be that the result upon the climate
would be about equivalent to moving
| New England up TO Labrador.
Last summer, when this subject was

another gentleman, probably also a
| professor, took the position that the in
tense heat which prevailed throughout
the New England states was occasion
ed by the irrigation In the arid region,
He demonstrated II by learned and la

We are therefore blamed for the ex-

Mr.. Chairman. can not believe that

gave us the homestead law. under
which millions OF comfortable homes
have been established upon the public
domain, VIII not halt when the oppor-

splendid achievement. Some gentlemen
say that sometime we should pass some
such law as this, but that we should
not pass II now. beg them to remem-

should be begun now.
The Republican party has presented
TO 1t by this bill an opportunity which
comes to II at rare intervals-to lay
the foundation for another monument
TO It's genus and foresight. Surely II
has not lost the ability to look into the
future and see how splendid a monu-
ment II will be. The millions OF people
who shall inhabit that region in years
TO come will not fall to remember with
gratitude the party whose generous ac-
ton made II possible for them TO do so.
We have written In our platform a
distinct pledge TO pass legislation OF
this character, and the Republican
party has always gone with the I'M
erring flight OF rife bullet from pro-
mise to performance. Year after year
and decale after decade 1t has gone
steadily On with scarcely an Interrupt

north a commerce mightier than that
which plows the seas. II has given the
middle west home market for its
products, the greatest and the surest
and the richest the world has ever seen.

ton is bound to condemn this vast do

UNDER STRICT CONSTRUCTION
BILL is CONSTITUTIONAL.
But In my judgment, It is not nee
essary to antagonize the position that
our authority Is limited strictly to a
disposition Of these lands, What we
propose by this bin TO dispose Of
the lanlls. 1t will not be dlsputed-it
has been repeatedly determined, not
only by the courts but by the uniform
practice Of the legislative department.
that the power of Congress TO dispose
of the public lands Is plenary. We may
give them away upon certain condi-
tons 70 individuals, as In the home
stead laws
We may give them 10 private corpor-
ntions under certain conditions, az In
the Pacific ralroa'l grants. We may
cede them To the states with or with
out conditions, as IN the various en-
abllng acts by which the territories
We're admitted into the Union, We have
a right TO grant the public lands with
In any state directly 20 the state. upon
condition that ire proceeds shall be
used for the balntenance-o common
schools. We have done 80 repeatedly.
We have the power TO grant every foot
OF the public lands In these 10 arid
states 10 those states respectively, up
on condition that the proceeds arising
from their sale shall be devoted 10 the
building and maintenance OF irrigation
works, Thus far there can be no ques-
ton. No one will dispute IT,
IL we can thus dispose OF the lands
directly Cor irrigation purposes upon
what theory can II be contended that
we may not first convert the lands into
money and dispose OF the money di-
rectly arising from their sale for the
same purpose? But to insist that We
may dispose OF thing directly but
may not convert that thing into some
thing else and then dispose OF that
something else is the cheapest and most
idle sort Of clubbing. II ] empower
my friend to dispose OF a horse--to sell,
20 give away, to hire it In short, to do
with II what he likes, and he chooses
FIRST TO convert the horse into money
and then dispose Of the money, Is he
not strictly within my grant Of power?

Enameled signs.

The enameling Of iron and sieel for
street signs, refrigerator shelves and
the like Is an interesting process.
Sheets Of iron or steel are first dipped
in an acid bath that cleans them thor
oughly. Each sheet is then dipped in
a preparation Of pale blue enamel.
After receiving this first coat it is
dried on top of an oven heated by a
flue from the furnace. When the en-
amel is quite dry the sheet is put into
the kiln and exposed to a heat of 300
degrees. 1t then receives a second
firing, this time at temperature of
1000 degrees. A third and a last coat
is then received and a third firing at
1900 degrees, The first coat is always
pale blue, the second and third coats
are any desired color.
The materials necessary for the max
ing Of the enamel come from far and
wide, from England, Germany, Nor
way and so on. Kryolite, one of the
principal ingredients, can only be OBJ
tanned from "Greenland's icy noun
tains."

and turned to look again,
And | said. "How good thing
Is the promise OF the spring!"
kt the time of the sowing of the grain.
Oh, kissed her at the time Of the grow

Her laugh was like the melody that threads
the lark's refrain;
Bud and blossom everywhere
Sent their perfumes through the air
And the branches bent above her where
the ripening grain was lain,
And | said, 'Lo, love hath grown
Like the seed thy hand hath sown."
AT the time of the growing of the grain.
Oh, l won her at the time OF the moving
of the grain!
We guided Ger the empty fields the heavy

And my life was like to sing
With the JOY of harvesting!

The Swans Song is His Flight.

And now what is this fight like, the
effects of which are so potent? At
first there is much commoton: the
powerful wings smite upon the water
with percussive sounds that are heard
at a long distance and all is foam
about the broad, bent tail and strongly
padding legs. The blows cease, but
the bird is not yet entirely quit of the
water, along which he now runs, or
proceeds with double motion of flying
and running, leaving a pathway white
as himself like milky way, behind
him. The feet, in fact, are for some
time an effective help to the wings
Each, as it strikes the water, Jerks up
the aspiring body till at length, the
proud moment comes when ii can float
without them, upon which they bend
upward and disappear beneath the
tail.
And now the bird is of air, and the
wings, as rejoicing at it, burst instant
ly forth into music, emitting with each
of their strong, swift strokes, a note so

According to the mortality tables
Of the London Times the death rate
per thousand officers in the South
African war was 100 in 1S90-1000;
Hearly thirty.seven in the succeeding
year and forty-nine in the last year of
the conflict. For the men the figures
were, respectively, fifty-one, thirty.twO
and thirty per thousand or nearly that

eludes deaths from disease as well as
from casualties. The general average
for the whole war was fifty-one per
thousand per year If the abnormally
high rate of deaths from casualties
among officers during the early months
