What Mr.. TAFT Judicially Learned About
R0n1anist D0fngs I'm The Philippines

IRON Senate Document 100, officially
filed by Judge Taft, and sent to Con
gress by President Mckinley, we learn
some hideous things about the doings of the
Romanist priests showing what is the in
evltable fruit of that tree wherever it is per-
mltted freedom of growth:
Testimony, in part, Of P B. Mercado:
"The friar curates, usurping the attributes
of the local authorities not only interviewed
but exercised joint action with the said au-
thorities in the three branches, administra-
tive, judicial, and economical The goberna-
dorcillo or justice of the peace who should
have dared to disobey the curate friar was
certain to land in jail within few days if
he were not deported, to which end the rev.
erend friars always had on hand, like a pan
acea against them. the accusation of being a
flibusterer and anti-Spanish
"The heads of the Spanish Government, to
the detriment of their dignity, became servile
tools, because they knew that the friar, with
the powerful lever of their money treasured
up in the converts of Manila, were above the
law therefore, more powerful than the very
governor general Of the islands.
"In some parish houses [ have seen printed
schedules published by Archbishop Sancho de
Santa Justa y Rufna. | also had occasion to
observe that several curates have charged par
ish fees at will and without fixed standard,
exceeding what was designated in said sched-
ule. [ do not know whether this may have
been the cause in some cases for reluctance to
contract ecclesiastical matrlmony, although in
my jud gment what mostly Influenced this
luctance is that some reverend friars had ar
rogated to themselves rights which in feudal
times were called rights of ''pernada." (The

but for the candles they furnished or for

COTTON TREES IN JAMAICA.
Bear a Fine Grade Suitable for Pill
lows and Cushions.

Bear a Fine Grade Suitable for Pill
lows and Cushions.
Trees that actually bear a fine
grade of cotton grow in the Island of
Jamaica. The cotton is very short
and cannot be used very successfully
in the manufacture of cloth, but for
cushions and pillows it is pronounc-
ed fine. The manufacturers of the
high explosive known as guncotton
are using it considerably to help
make the body of the dangerous sub
stance.
The trees are very large, often
reaching a height of $50 or 800 feet,
and their long branches often spread
over nearly an acre of ground.
The cotton is grown in pod sim
liar in size and shape to a large
cucumber, and when it is ripe the
pod bursts and the creamy white cot
ton fall out and is carried on the
breeze. The seeds of this curious
tree are carried for miles on in the
wind as it is wrapped in this silky
cotton fiber. The natives gather the
product, disposing of it at what they
consider a very liberal figure.

PROBE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Polk Investigation First Suggested
Club. Legislative Appropriation Committee Could
Get a Statement Receipts Expenditures.

acknowledgements Ault
of Polk introduced in the house to-
day resolution providing for a joint
committee to make thorough inves-
tigation of the operations of the state
department of agriculture and ascer-
Tain Whethei it is rendering adequate
and sufficient service to the state
considering the amount of money ex-
pended upon it.
The inference is that the depart
ment has proven somewhat of fail
ure in this respect, and the sugges-
ton is made that part of it's duties,
particularly those of an educational
nature, should be transferred to the
state college of agriculture.
Mr.. Ault says he is satisfied the
resolution will pass, and that a COM
plete inquiry into the administration
of the department will follow.
The resolution provides for a
searching investigation of the depart
ment of agriculture by a committee
of three practical farmers from the
senate and five from the house. Rep
resentative Ault declared that it was
aimed at no particular person, but
was intended to give the farmers Of
the state some much desired informa-
ton about the operation of the de-
partment and where certain proposed
improvements can be made.

culture, with view of making it
something more than a political ma
chine began with the resolutions
passed by the Cedar Valley Farmers
Club of Polk county. The resolutions
introduced by Representative Ault
were identical with those passed by
the club.
The original publication started
something, and caused a stir all over
the state. Efforts were made to
choke off the movement at this
point and prevent the matter from
getting into the legislature, but it
was unsuccessful. The issue will I'M
doubtedly bring on a hot fight, and
every effort will be made to prevent
the passage of the resolutions.
Couldn't Get Itemized Statement.
1t has become current talk around
the capitol lobbies that the agricult-
oral department was the only state
department from which the appropri-
atoms committee of the house failed
to get an itemized statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures when it was
making up the general appropria-
lions bill two years ago.
The fact that this was the only
state department from which such a
statement was not secured comes di-
rect from the appropriations commit
tee.
The department of agriculture, it
appears, is not required by law to
render an itemized statement upon
drawing it's warrants, but the appro-
priations committee wanted to see
one when it was making up the list

SEN. SHAW'S MILEAGE BILL
He Would Force the Railroads to Pull
Mileage on Trains or Furnish
An Extra Agent.

To force the railroads of Georgia
to pull mileage transportation on all
trains by giving the railroads the al
tentative of providing a separate
ticket agent and ticket window in ev-
cry town Of 1000 inhabitants or over
to exchange tickets for mileage is
the substance of a bill that has been
introduced by Senator Shaw of this
district.
The Shaw measure is cleverly
framed, and provides that all rail-
roads doing business in Georgia must
upon passage of the act place a sepa-
rate agent in every town in Georgia
of over 1900 population whose sole
duty it is to handle mileage trans
portation. A move such as this
would, it is said, cost the railroads
pretty sum of money.
In case the railroads are willing
to pull mileage on the trains the
special mileage agent is dispensed
with This is second provision of
the act.
In case the railroads refuse to
place the special agent in ali towns
over 1000 and do not accept the
alternative of pulling mileage on the
trains they are forced by the Shaw
measure to charge but two cents
mile.
In case they refuse to do one of
the three things enumerated above
they are liable to fine of $3.50 for
each violation

much the receivers will then get an

1t is urged that the receivers do
