If any one has any doubt as to the
virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they
need only to refer to Mr.. Alvin H.
Simpson, of Willimantic, Conn, who,
after almost losing hope of recovery on
account of the failure of SO many rem

Cure, which he says was Just the
thing for him, as four bottles cured
him completely. He is now entirely

Nehemiah D. sperry, Representative in Congress of the Second nneotient District and the oldest member of fine House In point of years, was born JuIy 10, 1927, at Woodbridge, Conn. He was educated in the common schools and in his youth worked on a farm and AS d mill hand. His political career was be- gun in 1858, when he was elected ia the common council of New Haven From then on his rise was rapid.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message of the Governor to the Legislature was sent in to that body promptly yesterday morning. It is more in the nature of a reca apitulation of what was done, and the hindrances to carrying out legislative action. than suggestion of what should be done.
 There are, however, some sugges- ttons, one of which is for compulsory education law. He recommends high schools for those counties which have no State School, but this is accompa- nied with a suggestion of waiting until it is demonstrated that the State can stand the expense. AS to all further appropriations he cautions that they should be contingent upon the condi- tion of the treasury. While contending that the tax upon foreign capital loaned in this State Is right. he says he will yield to the wishes of the Leg islature and not veto repeal measure if one Is presented to him.
 His suggestions as to a child labor merely to the effect of enlarging the powers of the prison inspector. who Is also made examiner of conditions of cotton mills. That official with the fails of sixty-seven counties to look after, has as much as he ought to be expected to attend to. Alabama needs much more change in the child labor law than that suggested by the Gov ernor.
 As was expected he indicates his op- position to the immigration law and suggests its repeal. He bases this up- on the idea that the duty should be discharged by the Commissioner of Az riculture and Industries.
 The action of the railroads in taking the laws regulating their charges for freight and passengers into court Is dwelt on at considerable length, but no remedy is sue- gosted and no hope of an early set clement is held out Of course A good deal of his stereotyped speech about exorbitant charges. watered stock, etc, is brought in. It would not be a Go. mer document with this omitted

LET US HAVE EQUALITY OF TAX
 ATION.


 Governor Conner in his message and argument for retention of the tax on money loaned by foreign corporations says;
 Montsomsry % are charged 3 i-s per cent taxes. that is, if they are lending mon ey at per cent; by adding the entire tax 1t would amount to 8 1-a per cent. Pss Pas, fGresn s m 1inser %Un were SGad. snd tire tax was added to the loan, 1t would be Is per cent.
 This is altogether a misleading state ment. A bank as an institution pays no tax whatever. except, on it's real estate, and the privilege tax of fifteen cents per hundred dollars on money loaned. It Is true that each share holder of bank stock or any other stock pays tax uponits value. the same as a real estate owner or a merchant pays on his stock of goods. It is also true that the owners of the bank stock, the real estate or the stock of goods If they SO desire can convert the same lHtO uhOhCyf Aodt tt Out oh hhOh t6aec v, and 1t becomes exempt from all taxa ton. except tn eprivilege tax of fn- teen cents on the hundred. Tn other words the State has by legislation con- sidered 1t a sound public policy to thus encourage the lending of money at a cheap rate of interest.
 The tax levied on money loaned should be on that class of business without regard to locality. so that the burdens on all who engage in that bus Legislature taxing money loaned by foreign corporations is made up of the following items: First an admission or charter fee on say s500,000, $56s.00; an annual franchise tax. $s53.5o; a money lenders license of s150 and the 15 cents per hundred privilege tax, while g. resident citizen or a non-resA ident would have to pay only the priv ilege tax. No one can say that this is equality in taxation. This is the only places a different burden on people or corporations for doing the same busi- ness. If the State recognized 1t as a sound public policy, to encourage its citizens to invest in a species of prop erty which is largely exempt from taxa tion, is 1t not better public policy to encourage an influx of this property by extending to it the same law that is extended to its citizens.
 The bill introduced by Senator Teas ley yesterday and endorsed by all the commercial interests of the State seeks only for this equality of taxation.

declarations of 1sol. He can say that the demands of the people are irresis- tibie and that he has no right to dis regard the voice of his countrymen. He can easily claim. when the proper time arrives, that conditions, impera- lively demand that there shall be no change of admipistration and satisfy himself that he is Justinable in ignor- ing his pledge. In short. there can easily be advanced . number of argu- ments that Mfr. Roosevelt can bring together with which to justify his &C., ceptance of another nomination.
 It begins to look very much as if Roosevelt is laying his plans to make his nomination a certainty, and if that is so what better plan could he light on than to carry out the maxim of the great Italian statesman1 Divide and govern" is what he should do and what all appearances indicate that he Is doing and preparing to do. To di- vide his rivals and set them against each other, and to divide his party into factions so bitter that each will an- tagonize all the others win be good politics in his case. Then when the convention assemblies there will be such bitterness and animosity among the factions that they will all refuse to unite on the candidate of any one of the factions and nothing but a Iit- tie adroit manipulation will be needed to turn them all to Roosevelt.
 To say that Mir. Roosevelt Is work ing to this end is not necessarily to brand him as "a political rascal" We can merely call him a sharp and shrewd politician and let 1t go at that. More conscientious men than Roosevelt have changed their views on public and political questions and have not been accounted rascals for so doing. It is called politics these days and is not so uncommon as to excite remark In our judgment Congressman Rainey is not far afeld.

Birch.

We have the grand opera; and have witnessed, and greatly enjoyed, the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite suf- ficient; whenever 1 have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically ex- haABted, and whenever I have Ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide. But if I could have the nigger-show back again, in its pristine purity and perfection. I should have but little further use for orera. It seems to me that to the ele- vated mind and the sensitive spirit the hand organ and the nigger-show are a standard and a summit to whose rare fled altitude the other forms of musical art may not hope to reach.
