The Hon ] p. Van olinda complains
to the local newspaper at Amsterdam
that he was refused denomination for
the New York Legislature ION the al
because 1 voted for the income tax
amendment to the United States Con-
stitution." and to prove that he Is mot
so much of Democrat. after ALL" he
prints letter from the Hon. Elihu
Root in which that great Republican
arc-light says:
That amendment was simply mat
ter of national Republican policy. 1t
was recommended to Congress by d
Republican President and was voted
orsby substantially the entire Repub-
lican majority in the Senate and In
the House of Representatives. 1t has
been favored by every Republican
President since Cleveland. The. right
of the nation to impose such tax s
a fundamental Republican doctrine.
for the imposition of an income tax
was one of the. great Republican rnea.
sures by which the money was raised
to sustain the Union cause in the Civil
War"
Mr., Root seems not only to have es-
tablished the status ofMr Van olinda.
but at the same time to have fixed the
status of the income tax amendment.
"a measure that has had the approval
of every Republican President since
Mr. Cleveland, that is "a fundamental
Republican doctrine, and that was re-
sorted to for the defeat of the South
is hardly the sort of measure Demo
Gratis should be found supporting, es-
pecially in any of the Southern States.
1t has been recommended now for the
purpose of finding new way to raise
more money for the Federal Govern
ment to spend.

That the Kaiser sometimes confers

more than one occasion in these let

that he sometimes bestows patents OF
nobility. giving the right. not to any
title. but to the predicate of Won

of nobility from the Kaiser. IN his
capacity of King of Prussia. does not
necessarily mean that either the predl-

BRAVE WORK IN PORTUGAL.

The Republic has made a brave be-
ginning in Portugal. 1t has been
fighting the nuns and appears to have
beaten them, ga of these pious women
having been corraled at the naval
arsenal in Lisbon preparatory to their
being sent out of the country. The
children in the monasteries and con-
vents have been returned to their
families Cardinal Netto and the
Bishop of Beja have been driven into
exile, and more than one Of the re-
ligious houses has been sacked by the
mob. Sacred images, altar vessels,
priceless missals, gorgeous vestments
were smashed or torn and trampled
upon with senseless fury. while every
thing that was regarded as worth
stealing was looted Disgusting acts
Of ribaldry and dehlement Were also
committed by the mob" This Is
description OF what was done at one
OF these places, and it shows the tenn.
per of the people who are behind the
new government, and either the in
disposition or the inability of the gov
ernment to deal with the conditions
responsible for the government. IN
an interview on sunday about the re-
l,gious establishments, the Provisional
Minister of Justice, Alfonso Costa,
said:

tinuance of religious settlements, all
of which are illegal. The dissolution
will occur without trouble, and the
contiscation ct the property will follow

1.-THE coniiscation of the property will
follow In due course" 1t is explained,
of course, that the religious frater-
mites have been too active in their
work, that none of them has been
legally authorized since the eighteenth
century, that the Jesuits were expelled
III 1884, that all the other congrega-
tions, male and female, have shared
the same fate; but that they have kept

Gays that "the coniiscation of the prop
erty will follow in due course" There
ought to be some very rich pickings
for the great unwashed. in the cir
cumstances. Honest John" Patter-
son, a Pennsylvania who went down
to South Carolina in the days of Re-
construction, would probably say that
'there's at least ten years of good
stealing" in Portugal. That appears to
be what the Minister of Justice is
after.

condition Nebraska offerings at low fig

New York, October 22.-There was fur
Their frost news in the cotton market to-
day, and a continued big demand from
some of the large trade interests, but not
withstanding the persistent liquidation of
the past week, offerings continued sensa-
tionally heavy, and after an early adj

at net advance of points on October,
but generally to points net lower.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of points, and right
after the call showed a net loss of from

poor cables. The early weather map
showed no temperatures as low as freez-

from early low points.
Shorts covering for over the weekend
probably helped the advance, which car

previous advices concerning the cold
weather and showed temperatures down
to 80 degrees in north Texas, the low
point of the day was reported near the
close under liquidation and heavy selling
by reaetionists.
1t is estimated in the local market that
speculative liquidation during the past
week will approximate 100000 bales, and
the continued selling by earlier season
bulls is leading to rumors that at least
some of these interests are now taking
the short side on a theory that the CEN
