FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Publisher

Every little while some wealthy or
well to do man dies and when his es-
tate is settled it is found that he has
for years been lodging his just taxes
by swearing to inventories which did
not show nearly all his taxable pro-
perty. Is there any good reason why
there should not be a provision of law
whereby snch estates should pay back
taxes for term of years? 1t might
make man little more chary of lying
to the lisler every spring if he
knew the fact would be brought
out when his estate was settled and
that his administrator would have to
pay into the public treasury part of
what had been kept therefrom by fraud
during his lifetime.

BROKER WAS
LOSS CRAZY
Demented Man Leaped TO His
Death from the Twenty-First
Story Window.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Calmly climb
ing out of window on the top floor Of
the twenty one story skyscraper which
has entrances at AZ Broadway, Sydney
Johnson Hayden, about forty-fve years
old, who lived at the Hotel Bailey, late
yesterday afternoon pushed himself
out from his seat on the ledge on the
New street front and leaped into space.
His body struck the sidewalk $50 feet
below. Every bone was broken.
1t was shortly after o'clock when
Hayden took the terrible plunge, and
in the street there were a number OF
persons passing to and fro. The body
struck just beside a little newsboy,
who, like others who witnessed the
desperate act, stood rooted with horror
The little fellow recovered first, how
ever, and ran to Policeman Gray of the
Old Slip station, who called an ambu-
lance.
Hayden dressed as a prosperous
business man, entered the building
from Broadway about o'clock and
went direct to the elevator. He asked
directions Of none and went at once to
the top floor. Although the Offices are
unoccupied, the elevator man thought
that the man he had just taken up was
a prospective tenant come to look at
his Office.
Despite the fact that Hayden was so
far above the street several persons in
the street saw him climb through a
window on the New street side. With
some difficulty apparently, for he was
a heavy man. he drew his body up and
his feet after him as he sat on the
ledge, which is about seven inches
wide.
An umbrella which he had carried he
left on the window ledge and then,
with his hands behind him, pushed
himself from his dizzylng seat As he
began to fall his head dropped back
ward, and in its swift descent the body
turned several times.
When DR.. Gould arrived from the
Hudson Street hospital he found the
body terribly mangled. He said he be-
lieved that every bone in the body had
been broken and that it was possible
that Hayden was dead before he struck
the concrete paving. The body was
carried into the building until it was
removed to the police station.
None knew who the suicide was until
a search of his clothing brought to
light card bearing his name and a
Washington square address.
No cause is given for the self de-
struction.
Hayden was apparently sane, but
was probably respondent over i'll for
tune in stock speculation.

HawIey Called on TO Tell of His
Cotton transactions with SuIIy.
NEW YORK, April edwin Haw-
ley, the powerful railroad magnate,
and Frank II. Ray, director in all OF
the tobacco trust companies, were call
ed before United States Commissioner
Alexander to tell what connection they
had, If any, with the cotton pools Of
Daniel J. Sully & Co., In which $780,
900 changed hands.
In one matter the hearing was nota-
bic as bringing together many of the
leading lawyers of the city. Elihu
Root, eX-secretary of war, was on
hand TO represent the receivers Of the
ex-cotton king; David H. Miller and
Henry w. Taft, who secured the order
from Judge Holt of the United States
district court for the examination Of
Hawley and Ray
In bringing Hawley and Ray into
court for examination the receivers
desire information concerning certain
entries found in the Sully books. The
creditors want to find some one to
hold financially responsible for a part
of Sully's indebtedness.
Hawley claimed he had no partner
ship with Sully, transactions being as
between broker and dealer.

CHRISTCHUR RICH, New Zealand,
April 2.-On the arrival of the Lyttle.
ton antarctic expedition here Captain
r, f. Scott, X. ~, of the Discovery on
being introduced said: The winter Of
1903 passed pleasantly, and the mem.
bers of the expedition enjoyed much
greater comfort than in 1902 Sledg.
ing operations began in September un.
der very severe conditions owing to
extremely low temperature, which fire.
quently fell below go degrees. In No
vember one party reached a point 100
geographical miles southeast of the
ship.
There was no trace of land, and
evidence was obtained showing that
this was a vast floating ice plain.
Captain Scott, with another party,
made two excursions westward in Oc-
tober over a glacier They gained the
summit Oct. II and crossed the mag
netic meridian Oct. 20 in longitude
1851 east. Proceeding still westward
the party reached a point 2T0 miles
from the ship in latitude rs, south
longitude 146h east The interior of
South Victoria is evidently a vast con-
tinental plateau stretching continuous
ly for 1900 feet. The glacier valley
affords magnificent scenery and gives
a natural geological section of the
mountains.
I'm the middle of December the par
ty attempted to cut canal through
the Ice, which was from seven to eight
feet thick, but the effort was futile
owing to constant refreezing, and the
party desisted. The open water was
then seventeen miles from the ship.

Make No Promises

'NThe hope of success in our work
in the Philippines" says Secretary
Taft, sis tranquility of the public
mind" That is one reason why he can
not agree with the well-intentioned
and ill-informed gentlemen who have
petitioned the two great party organi-
cations to insert in their platforms a
promise to the Filipinos that they will
ultimately be given independence. The
secretary assumes the Democrats will
do what is asked of them. No doubt
they will. They have a habit of blum
dering where the Philippines question
is concerned. AS for the Republicans,
they will make no mistake on this
point.
Vague promises of ultimate indie
pendence" in party platforms will COM
NIT the country to nothing, but they
will be seized on by the malcontents
in the archipelago and made the basis
of new agitation. The action of the
political organizations will be falsely
represented to a densely ignorant pop
ulation as meaning speedy independ-
ence-next month or next year. There
will be turmoil and tumult. The rest
less and turbulent spirits will reas-
sumo their ascendency. The peaceful
and educated Filipinos, who are salts
fed with the present situation and
who ought to be the leaders of their
people, the afflicted with timidity.
They will keep quiet while the
heather rage and the people imagine a
vain thing
The time for decision as to whether
the Filipinos should be given indie
pendence cannot arise, says Secretary
Taft, who knows them better than
any other American, for consider
able period, probably several genera
TONS" 1t would be criminal folly to
throw firebrands among the Filipinos
by promising them ultimate indie
pendence." They should be promised,
and be given without delay, better
transportation facilities in the form
of railroads and highways, the untaxed
admission of all their products to the
United States, and all other practical
gifts that will promote prosperity and.
consequently, peace.

regiment, and within six weeks after
the bombardment of Fort Sumter he
had mustered 1900 men into the SER
vice under the title of the Thirty-ninth
Illinois Infantry, which was assigned
by President Lincoln to serve in the
army of Potomac.
After desultory campaigning against
"Stonewall' Jackson in the Shenan-
doah valley, Col. Osborn was made
a general of brigade and placed in
command of the Thirty-ninth Illinois,
the Thirteenth Indiana and the Sixty
second and Sixty-seventh Ohio regf-
ments. At Winchester, when Jack
son attempted to crush Shields ad-
vance, Osborn's brigade saw the
heaviest fighting and repulsed the
enemy. After a junction with Nc
Clellan had been effected Gen. Osborn
participated in the battle of Malvern
Hill, and then struck south with
Shields division to serve under Gen.
Gilmore in the attempt to reduce
Charleston.
At the siege of Fort Wagner, in the
campaigning around Charleston, Gen.
Osborn was ordered to hold the front
at all hazards as forlorn hope, under
penalty of being fired upon by his own
comrades if his men fell back. The
d1VlS1On DurrOWed into the sand like
rabbits and dug a line of intrench-
ments that not only enabled them to
Withstand the confederate fire, but
also assisted Gilmore in his advance
on the forts by parallels. The plant
ing of the famous Swamp Angel
was another of the feats of Osborn's
men during the operations around
Charleston.
While serving under Gen. Butler in
Virginia Gen. Osborn was severely
wounded. In the attack upon Fort
Darling he was struck in the right
elbow with a bullet which shattered
the joint, and was sent back to Fort
ress Monroe. He never regained
complete control over the member.
He remained in hospital until Octo-
Der. and after his discharge, being too
disabled for active service. he occu-
pied his time by stumping Michigan,
Illinois and Indiana for Lincoln dur
ing his second presidential campaign.
Then, with his arm still in a sling, he
went back to his troops for the final
campaign.
In the battle of Appomattox three
horses were shot from under Gen. Os-
born. His division blocked Lees re-
treat, for which brilliant feat he was
made a major general, being chosen
to parole the surrendered confeder-
ates.

MajorGeneraI Osborn.

Major-General Thomas o. Osborn of
Chicago, hero of many battles in the
civil war, died from a stroke of apo
plexy in Washington, to which city
he had gone to select his burial place
in the National Cemetery at Airing
ton.
Gen. Osborn was born in Jersey,
Licking County, Ohio, August IL, 1882,
and was graduated from Ohio Yves
leyan university twenty-five years
later. After reading law for two years
with Gen. Lew Wallace at Crawfords-
vile, Ind, he went to Chicago to prac-
tice.

it was to others that "our generals

The chasm in the Democracy.

Ex-United States Senator Pettigrew,
one of the Bryan stalwarts, says he
will bolt the ticket if Cleveland or
anybody like him is nominated. Pet
tigrew is not quite so big parsonage
as he was a few years ago, but he
has a pull yet among the Democrats
of his state. His views on the C1eve-
land matter are undoubtedly held by
a large majority of his party in South
Dakota and vicinity. These views, in
fact, are very popular among Demo
Gratis in nearly all the states west of
the Mississippi, and they are enter
tanned in some of the states between
the big river and the Alleghanies.
How does Pettigrew stand on
Parker? The presumption is that he
is against him. The Democrats of
South Dakota, by an immense major
1y, are going to Hearst, according
and congressman is making some
and mountain states. He will come
to St. Louis with big delegation be.
hind him. PettIgrew will be one of
his supporters. In his interest many
of the former Bryanite chieftains. in
Guiding Bryan himself, will work.
This is the way things are shaping
among the Democrats Of the trans
Mississippi states.
The principal significance which
this has for The country at large is
that it shows the chasm in the Dem
ocracy is still open. As the eonven.
ton approaches it is likely to get
wider instead of narrower. The old
