The Spanish war vessels that
were sunk in Manila bay May l,
1898, are to be raised. A party is
now under contract to raise them
and turn them over to the govern
ment by which those that are OF
value will be repaired. One, the
Reina Christina, was raised last
week and beachel. The ship was
found to have been penetrated i'll
fifteen different places by shells from
Dewey's fleet. One of the holes
was made by an 8-inch shell. This
disproves the statement made last
summer as coming from some diver
who had examined the wrecks and
declared that Dewey's guns had
little effect on the Spanish ships, the
inference being that the Spanish
sunk their own ships. On this
wreck just raised were found So
skeletons Of the Spanish crew.

1t appears to be about settled that
the next meeting of the Northern
Wisconsin Press Association will be
held at West Superior. That is, in
our estimation, a very good place to
hold a meeting. We hold, as we
always have held, that these gather
ings can be made of great benefit to
the members, and our sentiments
can be fttingly expressed in the fol-
owing: "Sit down on the traitors

arrived home last week from Swed-
en- where he had been for the past
four months. He says there is no
famine in that country and the peo-

solicitations for money to be sent to
Sweden. He says hundreds OF
thousands of dollars have been sent
to Sweden and divided up largely
among well-to-do people.

The bill ~exempting the taxation
of credits was under discussion in
the assembly committee on taxation
the past week. In reading the ar
guments of those who opposed the
bill it will be noticed that few points
were made that were pertinent to
the issue. The speeches of those
opposing the bill consisted mostly
of a depreciation of tax lodging, as
if the bill was favorable to the tax
dodger. We cannot see that the
bill touches that question at all. If
it does it should, if it becomes a law,
have a tendency to lessen that evil.
There is nothing in the bill that re-
leases any man who has money or
property of any kind from paying
taxes on that money or property.
The law as it now stands can only
find such credits as are on record
and the tax dodger can easily man
age to make that arrangement of
little effect while the great mass OF
credits cannot be reached at all. If
men will be so dishonest as to shirk
the responsibility of paying taxes on
INTANGIBLE proDerty-monev and ifs
representatives-the law will not
make them honest. The fact is
patent that under the present system
this class of property does not pay
its proportionate share of the taxes,
and one reason why it does not is
because the law is unjust. If credits
were exempt all would stand on the
same footing and this being so there
would not be the temptation for any
to evade their just tax.

Prof. John Smallwood is right
when he says the discussion of the
negro by politicians Injuries the ne
gro. Politicians, working for party
advantage, hold extreme views and
discuss questions of policy in a way
to antagonize rather than to con-
c%iliate. Such a man as Tillman
speaks for the worst elements of the
politicians. He can do no good
either for the white people of the
South or for the negroes. On the
negro question he is a constant irri-
tant, a disturber of civil relationships
between the races. Let the churches
and the schools wrestle with the
situation in a spirit of calmness and
good will.

There is a crusade against splitting
on the walks and in public resorts,
ostensibly because the splitting is a
menace to health. This idea that
diseases are communicated by sputa,
dried and pulverized, SO as to float
in the air and inhaled by people, is a
discovery recently made. But in
fact this idea has been cultivated,
promoted, on assertion largely.
We argue against splitting On the
walks as a matter of common decen-
cy. What disease germs may be
found in a COB of tobacco spittle will
be found to be dead ones.
