The boast OF the railroads that they
always pay their taxes promptly and in
full is punctured again by the compro-
mise just reached in OtOe county by
which the Burlington has gotten out
from under some back taxes amounting
20 $4,000 on payment Of $1,000. We
have seen several Of these compromises
Of railroad taxes before and the rail
roads never failed to get the best Of it.

peace, and her waving OF the indemnity

No danger that the reduction in the
price OF gas, announced by the gas COM

back later. After the price of gas has
once been reduced 1t cannot be raised
again without suicidal effect on the bust

one prohibiting political delegates COM

continually asking public officials to Sc
cure transportation for them" An in
spection of the Nebraska statutes will
disclose the fact that we already have a
law practically covering these cases by
making it unlawful for any corporation
doing business in Nebraska to give or
contribute transportation to any candi-
date or political organization or COM
mittee or individual to be used for po-
litical purposes, and making the penalty
a fine of 81 900 for the first offense and
$1,000 for each subsequent offense with
forfeiture of charter for continued def
ance-of the law. The strange part about
it is that although this enactment was
made by the fusion legislature of 1897,
so far as we know, no attempt at prose
cution under it by any political party
has been recorded and the law from It's
birth has been as dead as the ''no-treat''

take some such summary action and the

The real question is whether the con-
tract was secured unfairly by reason of
official position, and also whether the
contracting corporation has been held to
as strict account in the fulfillment of it's
obligation as would have been a corpor-
alton without a representative on the

out of state contracts, whether awarded
by themselves or by other state officers
or boards.

The situation on the isthmus of Panama as far

The sanitary stan, under the direction of Colonel
GorgaS, has been making every effort within It's
power for the last ten or eleven months TO stamp
out yellow fever. The fight will be continued until

l would not have it understood that men should
hesitate to go to the isthmus. There Is no more
danger in Panama at present than there is IN
carrying out pioneer work in any tropical coun-
try. The average man, if he takes good care OF
himself, is as safe on the isthmus ne is In New
York
1t is important than he face the situation on the
isthmus as it is The policy of the government at
Washington and OF the Canal Commission is along
TINS line, and there is no desire on the part OF
either that should go to the sthmuS under
false pretences 1t is not TO be expected that aoSo-
lutte sanitation be achieved all at once, but
accomplished. Every confidence is felt at Panama
in the plans of the commission, and the Panama
government is cooperating cordially with the zone
government for forwarding the work on the great
waterway.
My own relations with the Panama government
have been most agreeable, and there is not the
friction misunderstanding. The feeling in Pan
anna is now friendly toward Colombia, and the
settling of pending questions involving the United
States, Colombia and Panama.
