Colonel Grosscup says in as many words
that he does not need the money. The

ested in oil and gas properties, and the

Tax Commissioner to Resign.
An important plum is to be handed out
soon when Tax Commissioner Dillon re-
signs. This resignation was set for the end
of the year, but it is now thought that
Dillon will postpone the step until the end
of the legislative session. The job pays
$4,000 a year, but Dillon has the inviting
offer of the profitable corporation law prac-
tice formerly held by Gen. j. w. ST. Clair,
who died recently.
No state Office was ever created that ex-
cited the opposition that the tax commits
sionership did. The 1904 state election
largely swung around the fears and hopes
its creation aroused. Commissioner Dillon
has made good, 1t is conceded, from the
standpoint of official enforcement during
his two strenuous years of service, but
there are four years of his term yet to
serve.
Capt John K. Thompson of Putnam
county, who served two terms as United
States marshal, is enjoying healthy boom
as Dllon's successor, and Editor Presley
W. Morris of Parkersburg is also coming
In for recognition. Governor Dawson will
lose his right hand bower on the tax issue
with Dilon's going. 1t is known that he
would like to appoint Ex-Governor White,
but White has formed business alliances
since he got out of the gubernatorial Office
which he would hardly care to forego for
another plunge into politics.
No Longer Wants to Be Governor.
Dillon's decision to pursue Blackstone ex-
clusively is taken to mean that he has put
clamp on the governorship ambitions he
had been coddling. He could not expect to
enjoy the same connections with the organ
ization while in private life, and he could
not come before the people in the same at
mosphere.
Elliott Northcott has eliminated himself
from among the governorship possibilities,
having so informed many inquirers of late.
He is easily the most popular of the young
leaders and satisfactory to divergent ele-
ments in the party, and his refusal to run

and comp icates the situation, but sharply
defined candidates. are looked for after tina

1t is current rumor that Northcott who is
a federal district attorney, is in line to sue
coed Judge B. F. Keller of the United
States district court, whose continued i'll
ness has given rise to thoughts of possible
vacancy in the near future.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WHEELING, w. Va, December s.
The fight to control the legislature that
will convene in few weeks is being sim pill
fed in the matter of candidates for the stel-
lar places. A large and promising crop of
candidates for the senate presidency has
narrowed to three-Marshall, Forman and
McDermott For the clerkship the veteran
John T. Harris of Wood will have no more
opposition than he has had for years, which
means unanimous nomination by both par

Spirited Scrap Probable.
Always a bone of contention, the house
clerkshp threatens a spirited scrap among
the three leading aspirants-Matthew STAN
ley Hodges of Pendeton, C. L. Topping of
| Kanawha and Harry Shaw of Marion. The
| obstacle in Hodges way is akin to that ly-
ing in Carskadon's road to the speakership,
the Forman candidacy for the senate presi-
dency. He was strong candidate two years
ago, but finally withdrew, allowing Harry
Shaw to get a second term, and 1t is be-
cause Shaw wants a third term that he
runs counter to the sentiment which be-
lieves in passing around the pie.

MR.. BRYAN IN THE PHILIP
DIMES

A local newspaper report of the ban
quet given in honor of William J.
BRYAN at Manila says that when the
chief guest arose to reply to the toast
given him. he was received with ap-
plauee which it seemed was never to
end. He touched with tact and
grace upon general matters, avoiding
discussion of specific points. The sill
yer -tongued orator did not belle his
fame. His speech was q model of
Anglo Saxon eloquence. he said that
the warmth of the reception accorded
him was sufficient to transform
Christmas into the Fourth of July.
he hoped that he would have an op.
portunity to look closely into all de-
tails of the affairs of the Philippine
,slande. Hitherto he only knew their
people by nearsay, but coming face to
face with them, having heard their
wishes and heard their arguments, he
could now epeak of them with certain
conviction. He had certainly found
that night that the eloquence 'of ora
tors cannot be claimed exclusively by
men of his own race. In my coun-
try, be added, 4 can discuss unre-
servedly political questions, but do
not feel at liberty to speak about
them here. There is bond which
mites all humanity, and when we
approach questions which affect the
welfare Of humanity We come home
to the heart OF every man, woman
and child He advised the Filipi-
nos not to relax their efforts, but to
be patient and to await that for
which they are laboring with 30
much zeal. He said that human
progress could not be reached at q
leap, but that 1t was necessary to
climb the rungs of the ladder one by
one until the desired ideal is attained.

Congressman Burton of Ohio gave
uterance to a great truth when he said
that the country is giving away its
water"power rights to private corpora
tions altogether too cheaply. and
that in few years these rights will
be worth all our silver mines and pos
sibly all our gold mines com bined. As
usual, the capitalists are more far
sighted than the people at large. They
are acquiring waterpowers every
where. In Europe several governments
retain ownership and control of the
waterpowers, while allowing their
development under certain regula-
tious. Here we seem to consider 1t an
honor to be exhibited.

bers Then Tabiing a Motion to Send
It to the Senate With an Adverse
Report-The Bill Approved in the
House by Large Majority.
Washington, March BY vote of
8 to the senate committee on Phil.
ippines defeated the Payne bill, which
had passed the house by vote of 25S
to II. The action Of the committee
had been foreshadowed for nearly a
week, although the exact vote had not
been known. The senators voting for
the bill were: Lodge, Beverage, Long,
Carmack and McCreary. The mega.
tive votes were: Hale, Burrows, Dick,
Nixon, Brandegee, Culberson, Dubois
and Stone.
After this decisive action had been
taken MIR. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported to the senate ad.
versely in order to give the senate a
chance to consider it. Mr.. Brandegee
moved to table the motion and this
was carried by q vote Of Z to 6, MI.
Nixon voting with the minority on this
proposition. This action effectually
disposes of the measure unless the
chairman of the committee should ap-
peal to the senate by resolution. This
course Is regarded as unlikely.
Lodge critieises Action.
After taking action as stated in the
foregoing Mr.. Lodge. the chairman,
addressed the committee. He said
the course proposed was unusual and
that there could be no good purpose
accomplished in thus preventing the
senate from reviewing the action OF
the committee if it desired. The op-
ponents Of the bill made no reply.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed of Mr.. McCreary moved to
report his bill, which provided for free
trade with the Philippines, imme-
diately. This motion was lost, only
four senators voting in the affirma-
tive. They were McCreary, Culberson,
Carmack and Stone.
The Payne bill provides for the re-
duction OF duty on sugar, tobacco and
rice, imported from the Philippines,
to rs per cent of the Dingley sched-
qles and for absolute free trade after
three years.
