1t will bear repetition to remind
the people that the county courts
that have torn the Dawson tax laws
to pieces belong to the Dawson
wing of the Republican party.
They voted for Dawson and his tax
laws, and there must be some cause
for their bitter denunciation of the
tax laws at the present time. Those
who opposed Dawson and his tax
laws have not changed front. They
stand today where they did the day
that the damnable and iniquitous
tax laws were promulgated. 1t is
the former friends Of the tax laws
that seem to be worrying the
Machine and causing il such fits of
anguish and vituperative spasms.
But it will all pass away when they
DO down to defeat.

Funny that the Flat Top Compa-

1t was the boast of the Machine
That the Dawson tax laws would
make taxation "equal and uniform
that the only way to assess the
property was at its strue and
actual value" That was their long
tut. But when they put it into
Execution they lost their rule for
&quality and uniformity and forgot
,heir promise of "true and actual
value" They assessed any old way
that they thought would please their
friends and punish those who op
posed them. As result there
never was a set Of tax laws imposed
upon the people that are so heartily
despised and condemned by an
outraged public.

NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

In the last general election Nc
Lean county gave Governor Sarles
and the republican ticket over
1900 votes out of the 21OO cast. In
county convention a republican
central committee was selected,
each precinct naming it's own COM
mitteeman. This was a represen-
alive body from every portion of
the county, the east end or third
district being especially we'll repre-
sented on the central committee.
At the recent meeting Of the
county central committee to dis
cuss matters affecting the welfare
of the republican party, with which
party such a large majority Of the
citizens of Mclean county af6l-
lated. the proposition was made to
divide the representation to the
coming republican state conven-
ton on the same equitable basis as
has. characterized previous acts of
the republican organization in Nc
Lean county. 1t was suggested
that each of the three districts be
entitled to representation accord
ing to the last republican vote in
each district. The five members
Of the county central committee
from the third district had been
chosen by the twenty-five dele
gates in the last county convention
from that district. It is fair to
presume that they r representa-

QUEER EASTER CUSTOM.
How Filipino Penftents Severely
Torture Themselves.

Torture Themselves.
One of the many curious customs
practieed by some persons in the Phil
ippine Islands is the way in which
they observe the week before Easter.
says the New York Tribune. for the
Thursday, Friday and Saturday before
Easter the streets or roads on the out
skirts of some villages and sometimes
the principal streets of the town itself
are filled with crowds who have come
TO see the natives inflict self torture
The willing victims are stripped to
the waist, their faces are covered with
a thick cloth, and around one hand is
heavy hemp rope, with cluster of
from fifteen to twenty smaller hempen
cords. To each of these is fastened a
small piece of hard wood. The whole
thing Is just long enough SO that when
flung over the shoulder it will not quite
reach TO the waist
When the penitents are ready to
start out a Filipino who has been APP
pointed as a sort of overseer takes the
flesh of the back between his thumb
and first finger and cuts the skin with
a long bolo This is done all over the
back. He then cries, ''Alla, sigie" eco
ahead'D. Then the penitent begins to
beat his back by flashing his cluster OF
little pieces of wood and cords first
over one shoulder, then over the other.
until the back is SO lacerated that 1t
somewhat resembles raw beef. All the
while the onlookers and victims also
are singing or rather chanting a most
dismal, unearthly, funereal Giant.
