TAX. REDUCTIONS. PALAvER.

Princeton Union: Owing to the
four per cent railroad gross earnings
lava law which not a single Official
IN the state capitol at present helped
to place upon the statute books-the
increase in Insurance., inheritance and
other corporation taxes there is a
balance of goodly proportions in the
state treasury, and the city dailies
are filled with slushy articles and
interviews conveying the Impression
that Governor Eberhart and the other
state officials are going to wipe out
all direct state taxes and present the
taxpayers of the. state with several
million dollars besides With the
possible exception of ATTORNEY General
Simpson. who collected nice little
sum from the Kennedy estate, not one
sponssible for the plethoric condition
of the treasury at present. The man
more than all others who is entitled to
credit is J. F. Jacobson. But Mr..
jacobson has no subsidized press
agents or hordes of underlings to
sound his praises.
There IS a great deal of nonsensical
palaver about reducing the tax levy
below the rate fixed by the legislature.
Legislative tax levies have been re-
duced before aud there was no fuss
made about it either. That is a
matter for the state auditor to
determine after the tax commission
has completed its labors. If the
valuation of the state is increased
materially. that alone would justify
the state auditor IN reducing the rate
correspondlngly
Before any great reduction is made
in the tax levy it might be well to
take into consideration the probable
reduction IN the gross earnings OF
railroads in northern Minnesota this
fall, and the corresponding reduction
in the taxes that will be paid by
railroads operating in that territory.
1t there IS surplus in the treasury
after the first of the year why not
cancel a million or so Of the capitol
certificates held by the permanent
school fund and loan out the money to
Minnesota towns and counties? That
would be better than selling Massa-
chusetts or Virginia bonds at par or
less to provide funds for home
borrowers school districts, villages,
cities, towns and counties OF Mime
sofa.
We are glad that the state finances
are in such a healthy condition, but it
must be remembered that the entire
burden of indirect as we'll as direct
taxation is borne by the taxpayers OF
the state, tor corporations have a way
of unloading their taxes on the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
Hence this talk about saving the
taxpayers millions OF dollars is the
merest rot ana is being used solely for
electioneering purposes.

JUMP TO DEATH TOGETHER.
Boy and Girl, Baked In Love, Leap OF
Virginia Bridge.

Boy and Girl, Baked In Love, Leap OF
Virginia Bridge.
Inundated by the failure of their
plan for a runaway marriage, boy
and a girl leaped from high suspen-
sion bridge at Clifton Forge, Va, and
sank in the river clasped in each 9th
er's arms. The young sweethearts
were Mabel Pendleton, seventeen
years old, and Stewart c. Gray, only
two years her senior.
For some time young Gay and Miss
Pendelton had been infatuated with
each other, but the girls parents OBJ
jected to their marrying on account of
their youth. The young couple finally
determined to get married anyhow.
They planned to run away to Washing
ton and return from there only after a
wedding.
The parents of the girl learned the
direction they had taken and, jumping
to the conclusion that Washington was
their objective point, telegraphed the
police at intervening stations.
When the train bearing the young
couple reached Staunton a policeman
boarded it and took both the girl and
the boy into custody. They were made
to leave the train and under the police
mans escort were taken back to their
home city.
At 6 o'clock the next morning they
met and jumped into Jackson river
from the suspension bridge.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

A Michigan man tells of the merits
of newspaper advertising as follows:
Il advertise in the newspapers
because | am not ashamed of my goods
or my work and to let people know
about myself, my store and my stock !;
because l cater to the intelligent class,
and they read the papers, and I
believe IN increasing my business !;
because I can talk to more people
through the newspapers and at a
greater distance IN less time and at
more reasonable price than any
other way; because my newspaper
advertising has brouC It me greater
returns for the least expenditure of
any advertising l have done; because
when I write an ad I am not too
stingy to pay for placing 1T in the
best possible medium or to have it
inserted so it is attractive; because 1
know my ad is seen and read by
every one in the the house where the
paper goes. "

SHOJJLDTAkE SOMETHING.

Duluth Herald: There is nearby
republican organ-that is. 1T is re-
publican organ now, though between
campaiRns it affects hypocrltlcal
independence which Is cloak to be
dropped when the campaign opens
which really ought to take something
for the tit of nerves. that IS att1lct-
ing 1t because of the situation IN the
John Lind candidacy.
It is Mortified and PANIED because
the democrats nominated John Linz
against his wishes. It cries out loudly
its sympathy with the man who is
thus abused by: the confidence of his
fellow citizens. and demands in the
name of mercy and humanity that
the attempt tc force John Lind into
the campaign be stopped.
It is fearful, too, the attempt may
be successful-fearful OF this above all
things. After detailing John LIND 8
rugged virtues and explaining that
these virtues will not permit him to
be dragged into a political contest
against. bis will, it agitates itself
territically with the fear that maybe
these virtues are not strong enough
to withstand the united demand OF
the people of the state that he become
the democratic candidate for governor.
All of which comes down to the
plain, sordld fact that republican
organs, madiy anxious to see a
republican governor elected, have been
hoping that they could elect one by
default, and are bitterly disappointed
with the now obvious fact that they
Will not be permitted to no so.
Nothing can explain the prevailing
spirit of hysteria in republican circles
over the John Lind candidacy except
the theory that too much worry over
It has brought on a severe acute
attack Of the nerves. They think OF
John Lind 10y day, they dream OF
John Lind by night, Night or day,
there Is no peace for them. The
specter which haunts their dreams and
disturbs their waking thoughts is the
shadow which forecasts the return OF
John Lind from his Alaska vacation.
His rugged features. his stalwart,
vigorous presence, his splendid public
record, his widespread popularitv-all
these mirgle in their dreams to form
kaleidoscope phantasmagoria full OF
dread. At every change in this dread
spectacle which haunts their dreams
by night and besets their thoughts by
day, the cold sweat starts, chills race
up and down their spines and every
hair stands upon end like quilts
upon the rettftul porcupine.
1t is pitiful and pitible condition.
Also, it is highly complimentary to
John Lind, and to the Democratic
state convention for nominating, in
response to an unm istakable demand, a
man whose very name can throw the
enemy's camp into such state of
nervous panic.

The republican candidate for
governor of Pennsylvania is member
of the Penrose crowd, and allied with
the monopolies that own the Keystone
state. The democratic candidate,
Grim, is the choice of Guffey, which
means Standard Oil. The independent
candidate of the progressive demo-
Gratis and republicans is Berry, con-
sidered one of the best and ablest men
in the state, and the man who as
treasurer uncovered the state capitol
frauds. Berry ought to be elected. It
appears that he was cheated out of the
democratic nomination by fraud.
There is no obligation to support a
candidate like Grim.

years ago he sent for her, and she
came, expecting soon to be his bride.
The wedding was again and again
postponed, and the girl obtained en-
ployment in a dressmaking establish
ment at "a West Sixty fifth street.
Two months ago, soon after Nine.
Calve became a member Of the Ham
merstein forces, violent quarrel
arose between Mile. Routtelot and
Belleville, which ended with their bro
ken engagement. The girl tried repeat
eddy to heal the breach, but without
success. Then she decided to end her
life in such manner that his neglect
might be brought home forcibly to him.
Mile Routtelot was known at the
boarding house of Nine. Gaillard at
3O2 West Twenty eighth street, and
when she called there Oh Saturday
evening, April 20, the last night Of the
opera season, the maid admitted her.
She went at once to the rooms of one
of the boarders who occupied the suit
directly above Belleville's. No one was
there, and the girl climbed out of the
window and down the fire escape to
the windows of the room occupied by
the musician. Her clothing was torn
and she was scratched and bleeding
from the climbing. Once inside the
room and knowing that the man could
not return from the opera until 1 a. M,
she made careful and deliberate prepa
rations for her act Every crevice IN
the room was carefully stuffed with
towels and torn papers, and she wrote
a note to the man and placed it in
prominent place. Then she turned o.:
the gas and lay down on the bed to die.
Belleville returned home after the
opera and found his door locked. He
called for help and broke into the
room The girl was dead, lying as if
she had fallen asleep. On the wall
above her was a photograph Of Nine.

it.
