 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Oct. s.-Remark- ing that his health was poor, and required a trip to HotSprings, Sec retary of State o. C. Ludwig this morning boarded a train for the City of Vapors, but he made the remark with a grin which signified that it might not be we'll for his health if he did not make the trip. Secretary Ludwig carried with him the returns in the senatorial cleo ton in Garland county, which were certified to by the election commissioners, for the purpose of appearing before the grand jury, offering them in evidence in the contest of C. D. Greaves to wrest from o. H. Sumpter the Senatorial honors. Secretary Ludwig will return tonight, but the enforced trip to Hot Springs will force him to miss the trip to Chicago to the deep water convention, with Gov ernor P ndall, National Commit teeman Guy B. Tucker, and oth CTS.
 Commissions for Richard Law renee, captain; Arthur F. Wadley, first lieutenant and LanCelot Caleb Minor second lieutenant; of Com pany H, Second Arkansas regi- ment, were yesterday afternoon made out and this morning signed by the state officials, being for warded to Hot Springs soldiers during the day.

CONTROL OVER PUPILS.

4 decision of much importance bear ing on the control which school teach CTS have over pupils has just been handed down by the supreme court of Wisconsin.
 The case was sent up from g.. Croix Falls. Two girls, daughters of lead ing citizen of the town, were offended by the strict discip plne of the princi- pal and wrote some verses about it which were published in the local pa- per. The school board demanded an apology before the school. and when they refused to make it he ex- pelled them. The parents carried the matter to the court. The court has now sustained the action of the board and lays down the rules that school authorities have the power to suspend pupils for offenses committed outside of school hours and not in the presence of the teacher, provided that the offences are of such nature as to have a direct and in. ID 6iate tendency to influence the conduct of other pupils in the school room. If discipline is defed, or the authority of the teacher brought into ridicule or contempt, there is justification for punishment, and unless the teacher or school board has such power, good government in the school is impossible.
 This decision is of course binding in Wisconsin only. the state in which it was rendered, but it has application to many cases in all states and should have some effect in defining the rights of teachers and trustees. It seems to be taken for granted in most instances that the authority of the teachers ex- tends only to the borders of the school grounds, and pupils often take advan- tage of that understanding to ridicule and defy both teachers and boards. In Chicago when the school trustees put the ban on high school fraternities it was alleged that as the frat houses were rot CD the school grounds, the trustees had 10 authority over the frat members. It was shown however, that beyond question the fraternities were subyersive Of both scholarship and dicipline. In mostcities there is considerable complaInt regarding the conduct of the public school pupils after school hours. As to just the amount Of authority teachers and trustees have to regulate the conduct of the pupils in such cases, there is

OTHER TAX METHODS PROBA
 BILE.

It is rather soldering to be informed from Washington that some Of the congressman, in view of the falling of of the revenues coincident with a large increase of expenditure, are casting about for new methods of tax ation. They fear that the present sources of revenues will prove made Quate and that additional taxes will have to be imposed.
 The facts are undisputed. The rev. enues have decreased from ten to twelve millions a month. and for the fiscal year ending with June, there
 will be an excess of expenditures oyer receipts of at least sixty millions. The appropriation bills thus far passed,
 provide for an increased expenditure over that of last year to the amount of lao millions. With an increased ex- penditure of l25 millions and deficit
 under the present rate of sixty mil lions. even the splendid surplus ac- cumulated by the treasury department looks small. - The majority party stands practi- cally committed to revision of the tariff immediately after the election. The Stand -patters fought yaliantly against it. bus public sentiment was
 too strong for them, and all of the f.,-or~ ,,,,,- e-o,5 n,, q rsciSion riat
 form. Of course, if the Democrats happen to get ID they will also insist on a revision platform. Revisions of the tariff sometimes result in larger revenues, but somtimes not, and some- times the result is exactly contrary to
 what is anticipated.
 What little is said about it and it is not likely that much will be said until after election, some of the senators, it is alleged, are quietly canyassing the situation with view of ascer-
 tainiug additional sources of revenue. Whether resort will be had to an extension of the internal revenue sys- tenn. stamp duties, etc., is
 rot determined, hut that seems to be the most likely plan.
 Congress seems to have been some
 what reckless in its appropriations. yet probably few critics could point ont ways in which money could have been saved without sacrificing some- thing that the country wants and needs. Most mem bers have also per sistently taken the view that the pres ent decrease in revenue is but tempo rarary, ard that when prosperi- " resumes it's sway the revenues will show surplus. The country shares this view to large extent. and this. no doubt. accounts Ter the fact that we have heard so little criticism of the large appropriations.

Congress in it's closing hours did at least one commendable thing. l. voted to remit at least eihgteen mil lion dollars of the indemnity which China agreed to pay on the on account of the Boxer troubles The vote in the house was unanimous, members of both parties giving it their unanimous support.
 When the Boxer settlement was agreed upon, China obligated herself to pay this government $24, 900, O00 in settlement of damages claimed by American citizens and the expense to which our government had been put by the military operations. The money was to be paid in instalments, and in pursuance of the agreement, some six millions have been paid. Oi this latter amount something like two million dollars has been used in settlement of the individual claims The agreement was entered into by China in 1900. During the intervening eight years there has been plenty Of time in which to file claims and sub init prooofs, and if there are any claims yet outstanding and unvproven, it is certainly the claimants fault, and it seems certain that some four million dollars will be left in the fund f1n h,1p tho This is ample, in fact is asserted to be in excess of the actual expenditure. and manifestly the re nander of the s24. GOO, 000 would be b. Id extortion. This country does not ca. to engage in highway robbery and the remission of the remainder of the indemnity was dictated by considerations of com mon honesty.

The Republicans who have in pros
 pect the task of collecting the sinews ot war for the forthcoming campaign. are not enamoured with the outlook. They would be afraid of the trust or corporation contri button, even were the trusts or corporations in mood to donate. which is nor the case. As the latter look back over the record of the past four years, they doubtless wonder what they have been tying to the c. O. P. for, anyway. Their aid in previous campaigns made the financing of the campaign work easy. In 1896 real, compelling fear of Bryan and free silver caused them to give down freely at every demand of the campaign managers. The same thing was true. though in a lesser degree.
 in 1900. In 1901 they were generous enough because of the wisdom of keeping on friendly terms with the dominate party. But under Roosevelt. the dominant party has been treating them as if they never had laid down a cent.

The Empire state, which is now thoroughly pers ,aded that certain Ohio gentleman $ going to be nomi- hated for president, is beginning to lay its lines to get second place. IL does not propose Senator Platt as its candidate. nor yet Senator Depew. Among those mentioned seriously in the connection are Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou. Tim Woodruff, General Porter and representative sherman. Of this qusrtette. the names of Cortelyou and Porter sound best. Woodruff is simply large sized politician of the old school. and there is not much in particular to recommend sherman to the country. The discussion of these New Workers as possible candidates takes on an added interest from the fact tha. many political observers are beginning to believe that when Fair banks says he won't be candidate again be really means it.

The new law fixing the retail liquor license of Alaska at the uniform amount of sl, 000 is only one more in stance in which the little fellow" is to be squeezed out of business by the '.big fellow" Numerous saloons whose proprietors are conducting their business in legitimate way. can afford to pay the present annual
 license of s5OO, but whose business will not justify the pawn ent of sl,o0o. In number of Alaska towns the new law will throw the entire business into the hands of one dealer. who. in order 10 play even" for the extra s5Do. and be free from competition, will doctor" his hootch with additional poisons. The law will also encourage la~lessness in the form of blind pigs" Men will have their drink. b. fair means or foul, and. recognizing this fact, there is always someone 10 supply the demand, even at the risk of freedom.

The old saw that its an i'll wind that blows nobody good has been
 illustrated in vivid manner by the trans-A tlantic travel that has grown out of the business depression in this country. h this case the i'll wind has blown the trans-A tlantic steamship companies good. The outgoing travel has been almost unprecedented for several months past. The movement began last fall, and has continued al- most without intern i,sion. Lately il has become particularly active. and nearly every eastbOund train from the west to the east has carried parties enroute to their old country homes, either for a visit or to take up perma- nent residence there. The railroads have been a beneficiary of this moye- ment. as we'll as the steamship com panies. and it has contributed an im- portant part in their receipts of late months. when business, generally speaking. has been quiet. The out going travel also has had the import ant effect of relieving the strain on the labor market, and to some extent has automatically adjusted the supply of labor to demand, so that while in this country thousands less men are employed than was the case few months ago there are not so many idle men knocking around to get into mis- chief. Under the circumstances the outgoing travel is, whatever way it is viewed. fortunate development. It may be taken for granted that there will be corresponding influx as soon as the labor is needed. Most of those who have crossed the Atlantic have done so simply because employment was slack, and they will return on re- ceiying the first assurance Of improy- ed conditions.

THE DIsCORDANT NOTE

Governor Folk introduced discord-
 ant note at the recent governors con- ference in Washington when he intro
 duced the subject of federal injuEc-
 tions restraining the enforcement of a
 state law. It was not matter such as the conference was called to consid-
 CT and had no relation at all to such questions as the conservation ..of for
 ests, mineral supplies and soil. The uestion, however, is one of great
 moment, as shown by the feeling
 which was immediately eugendered,
 and while the time and place were not suitable for it's discussion Govern or Folks argument showed that it
 must be settled before great while, if serious trouble is to be ayerted. Some of the states resent the extreme assertion of authority by the federal courts in the railroad cases. They are. generally speaking, the states whose laws have been set aside. The
 other states are for the most part in different, but there is every reason for believing that when their laws are
 attacked they, too, will become indig-
 nans and beIligerent.
 The cases in which the iDjunctions
 complained of were issued will be readily recalled. The states adopted

The Juneau Record takes Delegate Gale to task for failure on his part 10 secure an amendment to the gen. eral mining laws, such as was and is desired by the miners of tbe Tanana and Nome districts, and which it claims he has. made DO effort to secure. In this respect it is alleged he has proven himself an absolute failure. The Miner is 10 spologist for Mir. Gale, but it has lit tle regard for the good sense and in- telligence of those leaders of the blind who have failed to point out the fact that any amendment of the mining laws calculated to meet the peculiar conditions in Alaska would be impos- sible of accomplishment, through the medium of Congress. It is just possi- ble, too, that that fact may have dawned upon Mir. Gale at the very be- ginning of the session. and that the lack of effort of which the Record complains has been due solely to con- viction on his part that it would be doomed to failure in advance. The Record should know, if it does not, that the general mining law of The United States is mere skeleton,
 left to be filled in by the state and territorial legislatures, with the de- tails necessary to meet the different conditions existing in the mining
 states and territories. That these deficiencies have been thus supplied,
 is proved by the fact that at least tbree-fourths of the mining decisions reported are based on the interpreta- tion of the jaws of the states and ter ritories made in copsonapce with that of the general mining law of Congress.

No wonder that the pow vers that be in Washington entertain the belief that Alaska is not ready for self-goy- srnment and that Alaskans are unfit to govern themselves The recent con- ven,ion a. ketchikan where the del egates quarreled like cats and dogs, accused each other of treaehery and fnally split up and nominated two sets of delegates, is evidence that the republican party of Alaska is domi- hated by bunch of political novices, who, before coming North could not have been elected delegates to even a Sunday school convention. The con- gressional delegate from Alaska does not even have vote in Congress and yet from the. roar and rowing carried on in Alaska as to his personnel, it would seem that he is the most im- portaut individual in Washington. Tn reality the member from Alaska is a mere cooter CD log. g.-Whitehorse Star.

It is plain. therefore. to any person of ordinary intelligence. who will give the matter just little thought and consideration, that there can he little, if any. hope for a change in the mining law of Alaska, however much so be desired, except through the me dium of law making power of ou. own.

 held in this city. added to the plio. declaration of his independent cant dacy. places three candidates in IL ield-Corson.

IL now looks, from th is distance, as if the final result might depend largely on the vote that will be cast in the first division, the vote in the second and third being likely to be somewhat equally divided between Roman. Gale and Corson, with the chances, so far as those two divisions are concerned. lying between Roman and Gale. So far as the candi- dates are concerned, there is some question as to whether twe of the number are eligible under the law, il being urged by some of the papers that Corson is not, nor ever has been, qualified elector in Alaska. while from another source comes the asSer- tion that Mir. Gale is equally lacking in qualifications as to the eligibility prescribed by the law. However hi: may be. it will be up to these gentle men to make full and complete eSpla. nation during the canvass, in order tt avoid, if possible, any post-electior contest for the seat.
