The law giving bounty for the
killing of wolves, wildcats and
lynxes, was amended by the last
Legislature. The law as amended
gives bounty of $2o-$Io paid by
the state and $40 by the county
for the killing of mature wolves but
only 81 for wolves under six months

and So by the state. The bounty
by the old law was $Io-one half

half by the state-regardless of the

mortgages aggregate $4,000. If
taxed with the ordinary rate of three
cents on the dollar these mortgages
will pay tax Of $I,aoo-$aoo
more than the amount of money
involved!
But mortgages do not include but
fraction of credits. A man loans
$1,000 on note. It is not record
ed. The assessor cannot find it. Or
the man may loan the $1,000 and
take the borrowers word of honor
for security. If there is property in
the mortgage there is property in
the note, and in the word.
But this article is getting too long
for this week. We shall continue
the discussion. 1t IS large question.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN., who is
preaching against the acceptance of
sstainted" money for the furtherance
of religious work, was recently asked
if these business methods referred to
were not new sins. He answers the
question with a negation. Among
other things he says:
"That this is a new sin is COM
forting plea, no doubt, to the people
in whose behalf it is urged, but it is
utterly delusive. No new sins have
been invented in the past generation.
Every one of the forms of dishonesty
and injustice by which men have
been seeking to aggrandize them
selves is as old as civilization.
They are all covered by the eighth
commandment; they are all for
hidden by the law which bids us love
our neighbors as ourselves.
The new processes Of n1anufac-
ture, the new methods of organizing
industry, do not affect these princi-
pies in the least; and their applica-
ton to the new industry is perfectly
easy for any man with a good con-
science and ordinary common sense.
New crimes and misdemeanors
there may be, for these are terms of
human law; but sins are violation Of
the divine law, and that has not been
extended nor contracted nor modified
in any particular. Nor is its mean
ing obscure or its application diff
cult.
esThou shalt not steal'' is very
comprehensive commandment. 1t
covers all kinds Of fraud, dishonesty,
cheating in bargains, obtaining of
goods by false pretenses, every
transaction in which one man by
falsehood or Misrepresentation or
trickery of any kind gets another
mans. goods away from him and
gives him no adequate equivalent
for them. The essential wrong is
the getting of the other mans goods
for yourself and giving him no re-
turn.
Justice in exchange means that
each party shall be the gamer in the
transaction, or that neither shall be
loser. Any violation of this prin-
ciple is condemned by the eighth
commandment. There are many
new ways of committing this sin,
but there is no new sin"

Wisconsin is good-enough place

Wisconsin is good-enough place
to live in the summer. At a recent
revival meeting in an Iowa town
the preacher asked all who wished
to go to heaven to rise in their seats.
One man alone kept his seat. The

reasons for appealing weree said:
THE court has not decided either OF the
questions raised by the bill ando demurrers
in the case. What it decided was: LIST. That
an appropriation for public use is not
void, and that this appropriation was made
for public use; and. I'd. Ehat Dill

tionally originate in the Senate.
These questions were not raised py the

appropriation originating in the Senate
was void, and that every direct tax on iano
was tax in the strict sense of the word.
i also contended that a tax, not an
appropriation laid for any but Q govern

The court did not decide either OF these
questions, though 1t had decided the latter
in 1896 in the case Of Miles Planting Com

decision; and had intimated In the case OF

GIFT OF LOCAL MEN
MONEY ADDED TO 2. M. G. A.
BUILDING FUND.
$25, 900 the Amount, Providing Bal
ance of $s5, 900 is Raised by
May 1.-The New Home.

A subscription of 900 has just been
offered toward the completion and furnish
ing of the Y. NJ. c. A. building now in pro-
cess of erection on G street. This offer is
conditional on the securing of $4,000, in
Guiding the above amount, before May 1.
1t came in the nature of surprise at
recent meeting of the board Of directors,
when Vice President H. B. F. mcfarland
announced that S. w. Woodward and A. NJ.
Lothrop, who had already given $37,500 to
the fund, had decided to offer $4,000 more
toward the amount needed to complete and
furnish the building, provided the fund for
that purpose could be completed before
May /.
A careful estimate Of the amount needed
places it at $50, 900, which leaves the sum to
be raised by popular subscription at 100000.
When this is secured and the building COM
pleted the association will have property
worth 0,OOO, Of which $35O,0O0 is in the
new structure, while the old building, which
was formerly the Columbia Athletic Club,
will be used exclusively by the boys de-
partment of the association. Every foot of
space in the new building has been planned
to accommodate the growing work. One
entire floor will be given to the educational
work, which now has 400 students in rented
rooms. Eight hundred will be accommo-
dated In this floor. These 800 will be men
who work all day, and whose only chance
to get an education is at night. Inc StuQies
are designed to fit men for increased capac-
ity and productiveness in daily life. In
these association schools 10000 men in this
country have studied during these last ten
years, and most of these are doing more
for themselves and their employers re-
suit.
The new building will contain many other
features not found in the present quarters
of the association, such as the Business
Mems Club room, Turkish bath, hand ball
courts, chemical and electrical laboratories.
eighty-six dormttories, dining halls, roof
garden. etc.
Mr.. C. S. Ward, a secretary of the inter-
national committee, who arrived in the city
yesterday, inspected the building with Sec
rotary Pierce, and said that it would be-
when completed, the very best building yet
erected for a Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, though there are several in the
country that have cost more money.
