A Great Discovery.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has a great
head 1t has discovered a simple way
of remedying the deficit Here it is:
1.-THE thing to do is to restore some of
the duties which were originally inn
posed on account of the war with Spain
seven years ago" AS the American
Economist reproduces the Inquirer edi-
torial from which that sentence is TAX
en- it evidently stands by consenting, as
did Saul Of Tarsus at the stoning of
Stephen A careful reading of the edi-
torial shows that the Inquirer means
internal revenue taxes and not Gus
toms duties" as might be concluded
1t goes on to say that .sany movement
toward revision of customs duties, no
how conservative in its intention, al
ways has a disturbing effect upon the
business of the country OF course it
means revision downward, fol. it would
not be the orthodox stand patter which
it is if it antagonized a revision up
prehensiyely stated its objection to a
revision of customs duties" it says
"a partial restoration of what were
called the war taxes is free from these
objections. 1t would unsettle nothing
1t would not be burdensome to any
one" That any tax is not burdensorne
to some one Will be taken as a new dis
coyery in political economy. When the
Inquirer asserts that sit would unset
tie nothing il makes a severe srefiec-
ton on the minds of those who would
have to pay these war taxes imposed in
a time Of profound peace, for their
minds would be unsettled at least the
peace thereof-which, according to the
Inquirer, is nothing" The richness Of
the Inquirer's editorial increases as it
| proceeds, for farther on it sagely as
seyerates, ssItwould affect a class Of peo-
pie who would never miss the money Z
VIII the esteemed Inquirer file a bill Of
particulars as to the names and habi-
fats of the peculiar class of people
who will not miss the money? It
| would be good for sore eyes to see
that class or any specimen thereof
People who really enjoy paying taxes
! belong to tile same class and are pre-
cisely as lnultitfdinous as those other
mythical chaps who would rather
work than eat. They do not exist

Economy.

One good deed must be credited to
the Fifty-eighth congress. To the de-
fciency bin it attached a section or
clause making it a misdemeanor, pun
ishable by dismissal, fine and imprison-
ment, for the head of department TO
exceed the appropriation made for rum
ming that department any fiscal year.
That is a drastic measure, but fully
justified by the facts in the case Year
in and year out congress has been call
ed on to pass huge deficiency bills
caused by the unnecessary and reck-
less expenditure of money by the de-
partments The heads thereof appear
ed to have an idea that they and not
congress could make appropriations.
If congress appropriated. say, $4,000
900, they would proceed to contract
for expenditures amounting to Sill
600, 900 or S12,000,O00. That bad habit
alone accounts for the present def
cheney. AT last congress mustered up
courage enough to put bit into the
mouths of these gentlemen who have
been so liberal with other peoples
money Consequently, with the jail
staring them in the face. they are now
not quite so free with public funds.
The law ought to be rigidly enforced.
and the appropriation bills ought to be

the stand patters to open shame by de-
claring that the government will not

The Philippines are being pacified
once more General Leonard Wood
has just worked off, some 800 AIoros,
which should entitle Leonard to an
other promotion. He lost seven men
killed and several wounded. The
chances are that any one of the Ameri-
can soldiers was worth the entire 300
Moros. The objection on the part of
these obtuse Filipinos to being assimi-
lated, benignantly or otherwise. is
puzzling the assimilators.

cratic banquet given by the
Monroe club of St Joseph, Mo-, at
which function / was POSTMASTER,
while Colonel William Jennings Bryan,
Ex-Governor Alexander Monroe Dock
cry and Colonel John A. Atwood of
Kansas were the principal speakers
My observations in Kansas and Mis-

region In Kansas the people are thor
oughly aroused by the exactions of the
Standard Oil company, and unless the
Garfield Investigation leads to relief.
of which they have little hope judging
by his famous 80 cents report as to the
beef trust, the state is quite likely to
elect a Democratic governor next year
and a Democratic delegation to con-
gress. To the uniformed Republican
that statement will seem preposterous,
butinformedp persons will remember that
in 1888, in proportion to voting popula-
ton, Kansas gave General Benjamin
Harrison the largest majority of all the
large states in the Union, while in 1892
it parted company with the G. o. r.
Most of the men who reyolutionized
the politics of the Sunfower State are
still alive and in good health. What
they did then they are quite likely to
do again if they do not get results-pos-
tive, patent and satisfactory results
from the administration in the matter
of trust extortion.
The action of the Kansas legislature,
Overwhelmingly Republican in both
branches, in asking President Roose-
welt to throw Mr. Commissioner Gar
fields beef trust report into the fire is
one evidence out of many that the gen
tie Jayhawkers are not in a heavenly
frame of mind and have well developed
suspicious that ali this much adver-
tised Republican crusade against trusts
is sound and fury, signifying nothing.
If their suspicious are confirmed by
events in the immediate future the
land of old John Brown and John
James ingalls, is almost certain to flop
to the Democrats.
AS a matter of Justice the Kansas
Republicans should send deputation,
headed by Governor Hoch, to the Pc
COS valley. in New Mexico, and humbly
supplicate that iliustrious farmer, Jer-
ry Simpson, to return TO Kansas and
become the head of the Republican or
ganization, for they have adopted all
of Jerry's ideas of government.
It is very rare indeed that a man
so bitterly revilea as was Simpson
lives to see himself so thoroughly vim
dictated as he has been vindicated.
He was denounced as a radical, pes
tilent denagogue and an anarchist for
advocating governmental theories less
radical than are now advocated BY
those who pulled him down. Upon re.
Election Jerry must be amazed at his
own conservatism. He laughs best who
laughs last.

Heretofore we have had some faint and
vague hints of what may be designated
the Roosevelt precept touching excessive
protection, but this is an enormous check
mate to what we may call the Roosevelt
example in that behalf The thing is very
sudden and very stunning. It
Comes as the winds come when

This is matter for the Home Market

trowel are deeply interested Congress,

gap and heresy. a box car full of 1t,

head and looked all the defiance of a very

The thing is done Congress will not be
here until October. and before the next
ways and means committee is named the

the free traders unless our protected mills
sell their wares to Uncle Sam at s.sur-
plus prices.

beat the Carlisle logic lesson in the next

DEATH OF J. L. FOSTER.
He Was n WeII-knOwn Citizen of Tus-
 CalOONa County.


 Tuscaloosa, Dec. 12.-(Special.) )-J. Luther Foster, one of this county's most prosperous and well-to-do citi- gems, who died at his home on Crescent City Avenue, was laid to rest yester- day. The services were held in the Methodist Church instead of the Bap- tist on account of the recent fire there and they were conducted by Rev. L. O. Dawson.
 MT. Foster was taken with pneumonia some three weeks ago, which left him in such a feeble condition that compli- cations which followed he was unable to battle with. He lived to the ripe age of 69 years. His parents. John Foster and Mary F. Hill, came from Virginia in the early part of this century and settled at Fosters. He was a member of very large family. being the youngest of thirteen children. only two of whom survive him. He was a brother of the lamented Joshua Hill Foster and Hon. J. ldanley Foster, Prof. J. Henry Foster. Prof Edwin H. Fos- ter, and also d cousin of the late J. Col Her Foster, who died last year
 He was a noble citizen and most suc- cessful planter, a Confederate veteran and a devout member of the First Baptist Church. In loosing him, Tus- caloosa gives up one of the best and most esteemed citizens. He is survived by a wife and two children, James Foster and Mrs. W. D. Seed.
