BURNS MUST GIVE BOND
TO INSURE DOING DUTY
Under New Law Market Master
Does Not Handle District Rentals.

The first decision by the Corporation
Counsel, under the recent ruling that a
District official not instructed to handle
moneys OF the District cannot bebonded
for the disbursement of money, was sub
mitted yesterday afternoon TO the Com
missioners.
The papers are in the case of J. Ed
ridge Burns, market master for the
Western Market. who wrote to the Com
missioners July l, calling their attention
10 the fact that on September +. 1889. he
filed $4,000 bond, at which time he col
lected and receipted for the rents Of the
market. On June II. Congress passed a
law requiring these rents to be paid di-
rect to the Collector Of Taxes. Mr.
Burns says his bond was never Cancelled,
and that one of his two bondsmen has
since died
The question asked by Mr.. Burns was
whether. as an officer not handling Dis
trict moneys. he should be compelled to
renew the old bond. which required an
accounting for moneys received. The
Acting Corporation Counsel holds that
the market master shall give a new bond
conditioned to faithfully perform all the
duties of his office, without the condition
to account for moneys coming into his
hands.

ALBhY PROVINCE IN
DEPLORAbLE STATE
Governor Belts Said to Be Respon-
sible and Investigation Ordered

Governor Belts, of the Albay prov
ince. has been a failure. according TO
reports IN Manila newspapers received
at the Bureau OF Insular Affairs. He has
had a clash with the provincial board of
his territory. Vice Governor Wright
and Commissioner Tavera started to AL
bay province on July 16 TO make an
investigation.
Governor Taft was requested by the
Albay provincial board to visit the
province and make an investigation, but
was unable TO leave Manila and detailed
Vice Governor Wright and Commissioner
Tavera TO look into the trouble
Conditions in Albay are said to have
gone from bad 10 worse. Business Is re-
ported to be at a standstiH, and what
was once the greatest hemp growing
district in the island is said TO be in a
depIorable state.
Governor Belts was formerly a cap
tain in the Forty-ffth Volunteer Infan-
try He was elected the first governor
of Albay on July 4, 1901. He was re-
elected to the office. But his second
term has been characterized chiefly by
ladronism. Outlawry has thrived and
the governor is charged with failure to
cooperate with the provincial board in
restoring prosperity.

Dear Mr. President: Acting in ac-

day telegraphed you my approval OF the
communication you have seen fit to ad-
dress TO me under date OF August 6.
THE effect of such an appeal from

under the inspiration Of the clear under
standing of and devotion 10 the duties

zenship.
Il feel that you have struck the key
note Of a national necessity when you
say that all public men. all writer's Of
the press. all clergymen. all teachers,
all who in any way have a right to ad-
ergy unite to denounce such crimes and
to support those engaged in putting
them down and declare tho correlated

II think President Roosevelt is on the
right line, and l am In hearty accord

Not Altogether a Joke.
The present political situation here. -
said one of the Republican leaders to
the Baltimore Suns" correspondent
has its serious as well as it's comic
side.
ITO the disinterested onlooker the
antics of the negro voter during cam
gaign, his air of Importance and his
grave and earnest discussion OF politics,
is irresistibly funny.
THE other side of the shield is more
serious. The negro Is almost the only
laborer we have and these political con-
tests utterly demoralize him For weeks
he almost abandons his work and fills
noisy and impudent. He is debauched
with money and is puffed up by the So
licitations for his vote. The proximity
to Washington and the constant inter-
course with the petted and impudent
negroes of that city has a bad effect.
AT the primaries next Saturday pos
sibly $4,000 Will be spent in buying negro
votes and the IS or $40 each one re-

Agricultural Department this morning

farmers in America had sent a petition
10 the Russian ministers of finance and
agriculture asking them to join in 4
products. especially wheat. At the office
OF Secretary Wilson and OF the chief

The colored voter as he walks along
the village street leaves a cloud of
smoke behind him. AS you pass the
doors Of the saloons the sound of clink-
ing glasses may be heard and the negro
voice raised in earnest defamation dis
cussing the relative merits of Mudd and
McComas
There is ample time and leisure for
these discussions. Work in the fields
was practically suspended some weeks
ago, and it may be some weeks more
before it is resumed. Possibly the
amount of wealth received for the pri-
mary vote next Saturday will be suffi-
cient to carry the intelligent voter along
until the November election. In the
meantime there are grave apprehensions
among the farmers Of the immediate
vicinity for the safety of their tomato
crop. Unless the tomatoes are gathered
they will spoil, and the African son of
toll is too busy now with politics to
pick tomatoes.

The colored voter IS now ready and

Gov. Taft Thinks Restricted
Traffic Better Than At
tempted . Prohibition-He
Would Prevent Sale to
Other Races.
Annual Consumption Has
Increased Enormously
During American Occu-
patton of the Islands.

Manila papers Just received at the
Bureau of Insular Affairs OF the War
Department contain an address delivered
by Governor Taft On the proposed bill
which is now being considered by the
Philippine Commission for the regula-
ton OF the sale OF opium IN the islands
The measure is now IN the hands of a
committee named by the Philippine Com
mission. This committee consists Of
z. c. Carter, DR.. Albert and Bishop
Brent. of the Episcopal church These
men will visit Java, India and other
Oriental countries for the purpose OF
studying the various methods used In
controlling the opium trade.
Circumstances Alter Cases.
The proposed opium bill has pro-
voked much opposition, and a re-
view of the conditions which led to the
framing of the bill given by Governor
Taft in his address sheds much light on
the real situation
Under Spanish rule Fflipinos were for
bidden the use Of opium and dealers
were not allowed to sell It TO natives OF
the islands. In each province an opium
dealer was sold the privilege of selling
opium to Cinnamon. Governor Taft says
that under this system F1lipinos used
little opium
With American occupation, Spanish
opium laws we're discontinued and the
only regulation of its sale for four years
has been the imposition OF a duty on the
drug, and a provision OF the municipal
code. which makes it possible to punish
the keepers OF opium dives.
A Remarkable Growth.
The opium trade has meanwhile grown
steadily. IN 1899 the opium taken into
the islands amounted to I20.066 pounds.
The importation for 1900 was 224,115. IN
1901 the Importation was 3695o37. In
1902 the amount fell TO 137, $50. but the
decrease is supposed not to have been
actual, as much opium is believed 10
have been smuggled.
The Philippine Commission was ad-
vised that the Spanish plan for farming
out the privilege OF selling opium would
restrict the sale and it referred the mat
ter 10 Prof. Moses with the request that
ne frame law 10 ItSuldIt OpAun SdlcS-
Commissioner Smith. who succeeded
Prof. Moses on the commission. under
took the task of framing the bill and has
assumed responsibility for il.
For Chinese Only.
The bill forbids the sale of opium to
any person other than Chinese and this
makes it impossible for Americans,
Moros, or Filipinos to buy the drug, and
only Cinnamon are TO be permitted TO
sell it.
DR.. Stuntz. OF the Evangelical Union.
and Bishop Brent oppose the measure
on the ground that it should prohibit the
use of opium entirely.
Governor Taft says American public
sentiment will probably force the abso-
lutte prohibition of opium for time. and
will then consent TO the restriction OF
the sale TO Cinnamon by means Of high
license. the only satisfactory method OF
regulating the liquor traffic found In the
United States
