all the close States and districts. The
border States. as they were known
in the civil war, and those farther

party if these unpopular taxes are
continued
The Democratic party can raise rev.

The Democratic administration. can
procure the funds to cover the cost of
preparedness by issuing bonds.
The Democratic administration and
the Democratic Congress have the
power to make the bill OF Senator
Thomas. of Colorado, law and provide
funds for covering the expenditures
by issuing treasury notes bearing no
interest.
The Democratic members of the
Congress are not compelled to levy
direct taxes, and there are hut few
of them but recognize that the ma

THE TRUE SITUATION.

From the Salisbury News.
There has been a great deal of ex-
aggeration about the dyphtheria situ-
alton in Salisbury. There is no cpl
demic Of dyphtheria in this city nor
has there ever been since the first
case this year We have had a few
cases In the schools and the school
authorities following the advice OF the
State Board of Health, decided to
close the primary schools for short
period so as to take every precaution.
At present there are only four cases
Of dyphtheria in Salisbury, and three
of these cases are about well. All
the cases have been in light form
and readily succumbed to treatment
and there has never been any cause
for alarm over the situation.
IL seems that the few cases here
have been used by other communities
to get up scare against Salisbury
in an effort to keep shoppers from
coming here to do their Christmas
NIVHUAlAt HAAt nttN nNNNA UNtA aug
danger and at present it can be said
with truth that in a population of
nearly ten thousand people four cases
of dyphtheria can certainly not be
construed TO be an epidemic in any
sense Of the word. But for the fact
that only about six more days inter
vene between the vacation of the
Christmas holidays. the primary
schools would be open this week. but
the school board decided that as the
scholars would hardly get started
again in their work before the holi-
days vacation IL would be better to
await until after these vacation days
and start in fresh at the beginning OF
the year.
Persons from the surrounding towns
who wish to come TO Salisbury to do
their Christmas shopping can come
without any fear of dyphtheria. There
are so few cases here as to make il
almost unworthy Of notice.
