Stephens has not given a satisfactory reason for his decision not to call g special session of the Legislature to secure a franchise tax law. In his statement concerning the investigation leading to his conclusion the Governor repeats and elaborates the argu- ments in favor of franchise taxation. He rea s his conviction that a franchise tax is necessary to equalize taxa- tion and that a special session is necessary to securé a fran- chise tax. who replied to his letter all except two declared themselves in favor of a franchise tax law. Among the Senators who said they would vote for a franchise tax bill were eight who voted to defeat franchise taxation, in the regular session. But with this evidence of_an overwhelming majority in favor of franchise taxation the Governor decided not to call a special session because a majority of the legislators wha wrote him advised against it. He says that he is convinced that a franchise ®x law cannot be passed. He concludes: “Not satisfied that even at an extra session—where there are no complications and nothing to trade upon, and notwithstanding the sentiment is _ practically unfanimous in favor of a law providing for the taxa- tion of franchises—such a law could be enacted, the call will not be issued.’’ j The Governor indicts the members of the Legislature of in- sincerity and ptter lack of regard for justice and public in- terests, but hé does more—he arrives &t a conclusion wholly at variance with reason, sound public policy and the consti- tutional duty of the executive. What is the explanation? The Coufier-Journal’s record of the events of 1899 says: 1, The Boston terminal railroad, the largest i he world opened for public use. woos SR CHO. Weems, The Boston station was opened for public use, but it is cer- tainly not the largest in the world. The largest railway station is in St. Louis, as a thorough investigation will fully show. That matter was settled very quickly in January last. We went to war with Spain to save a republic, yet the President refuses to even ask anything for the republics of South Africa. Not even a kindly word to the struggling patriots of the Transvaal must be sent from Washington, though many thousands of American citizens have formally expressed their desire for peace. Gov. Teddy, in his prattle about ignoble peace, does not scem to take ignoble war into consideration. There are two ignoble wars on hand just now which are ae ignoble as any peace could possibly be Mr. Bull is 2 wiser man at the opening of the new year than he was twelve months ago, and he may accumulate addi- tional wisdom before the winter shall have passed. The politicians of neither of the great parties are likely to be so bold as to write a national platform plank declaring just when the new century begins. = = = —— 7 Had the Spaniards been sware that Darwin's missing link '- = tional $20,000,000 for the islands. - ~~ = i 7 » The British censor should give Correspondent Winston Ctturchill perfect freedom in South African reports.

Otis will, of course, resolve to-day that he will end the rabbit chase in the Philippines this year. WiN Mr. McKinley send the polygamous Sultan of Sulu a New Year's greeting to-day? POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. With the open door in China there will he a multiplication of commercial drafts. The King can do no wrong. There is in the Cabinet always a Scapegoat for the President. Uncle Samuel is paying enormous war taxes and tariff taxes that the Administration may turn his money over to a pet bank. A local artist represents the new year in the form of a woman coming out of a belfry. Is the new year a bell or a belle? If free trade is destructive to prosperity, are we humane or just in unitinx with Europe ‘to force free trade upon the Chinese? The presidency of the National City Bank of New York ought to be open to Secretary Gage if he is to be retired from the Cabinet. Almost any fowl in the show at the Coliseum is more val- uable than the eagle, yet we stick to the eagle as an Ameri- can emblem. Mr. McKinley has always been regarded as a smooth poli- ticlan, but now that he has been lubricated with Standard Oil he is smoother than ever. We are so fricndly to Mr. Bull that we cannot send Uncle Pau] Kruger a cordial New Year’s greeting. We.are too im- perial to encourage republicanism. Those people in the State of New York who hold that a married woman 16 years of age is still required to go to school, under a compulsory education law, should refiect that mat- | rimony is the greatest of all the school# that are open to young women. In some cases its tuition fees are extremely high. wr The Colossus. Iéke Morgan, the “Standard Oil crowd” have shrewdness. But leng practice im corruption and lawbreaking and industry-wreck- ing has equipped them with unprecedented audacity and unscrup- uloustess. But they do not need.to use finesse. They now ac- Complish their ends by sheer force of the might of their al- most boundless wealth. And hour by hour, without need of exertion on their part, their wealth grows, outstripping opportunity for investmen:, ut ence enabiing, inviting and compelling them to dominate more amd more. In 1990 they had direct ownership of $70,000,@0 of cap- Ral. By 1990 this direct wealth had increased to more than $175,000,000. To-day thie little group, directed by one man, owns not far from 900,000,wW0—all or almast al! invested in public cor- porations having intimate relations with our local, State and national governments. : The Standard Oj) ring heve inieresis tn towns and counties and @taice throughout the Union. They heve still greater interests in | the National Government. They have favors to ask or to demand from Congress, of the President—of the latter in stx of the depart- gents he controls through Cavinet officers—Mate, War, Navy, Treasury. Justice 2nd Interior. Through their $56),000,000 they control many times $500,000,009.

WHERE THERE ARE NO VOTERS. Although the citizeng of the District of Co.umbia.are not allowed to vote, they have the best and cieanest, the most eco- nomical and the most satisfactory munici- pal governmeat in the world, and nobody complaine of it except those who have not been able to. get office. The taxes are about one-third of what people pay on gim- ilar property in other cities of its size. Everybody who comes to Washington can testify to the cleanness of the streets and alleys, the perfect condition of the parks and pavements, the street lighting and the water supply, the street car eystem, the excellence of the Police and Fire Depart- ments, the absence of crime and disorder, the superiority éf the schoo:s, the perfect management of the public institutions and the purity of the courts and economy of ad- ministration is appreciated by every tax payer. The District is governed by three commissioners appointed by the President. One is a Republicin, one is a Democrat and the third is an officer of the regular army, who acts as ‘commissioner of public works. cg A gp hizh-class men, and the standard of the employes in the municipal offices is equal to that in any other branch of the Government:. There are no ringe, no ‘“‘bood- lers,”” no combinations of contractors and moO politics whatever in the Government, be- Cause such things are unnecessary and can- not exist under the system there.—Chicago Record.

TWELVE MONTHS MORE. . Only 122 months remain in which to set in order all the things that belong to the expiring century, to the end of giving it a decent dismissal and to save the coming century from the handicap of an unfair.y jarge burden of arrearage. There has been a rather curious fiisapprehension in the minds of many people as to the proper lo- cation of the year upon which we are just entering: and even in print there has been a good deal of allusion to the year now ended as the closing one of the ninetgenth century. A haii is whouath to remove all confusion./ With Dec. 31 we comp.ete the year 1899—thai is to say, we round out 9 of the 100 years. that are necessary to complete a full cen- tury. We must give the nineteenth cen- tury the %5 days that be.ong to its hundredth and final year before we begin the year one of the twentieth century. For geome reason the mathematical facu.ty usually works far more keenly in mone- tary affairs than elsewhere, and none of tre people who have proposed to allow 99 years to go for a century would suppose that a $1900 debt had been fully met by a tender of $1899. There would remain due just 100 cems.—January Review of Reviews. A CHANGE OF TUNE ———————— ' ras & — \ i wie F ow SS Qt — 1. ‘Look here; do you call this stuff fit for human food?" 2. ‘What's this?

How this man of silence had ever wooed the woman at whose feet ar- tists, statesmen and orators had vainly knelt was a puzzle which was given up after a nine days’ attempt to solve it.

It is a tuatter of history that Napolcon was a gourmand, an inordinate lover of the god things of the table, and history further records that his favorite dish was fried onions; his death fronf cancer of is claimed also, was probably , caused from his .excessive indulgence of this fondness for the odorous veye- table. The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome article of food, in fact has many medic- inal qualities of value, but it would be difficult to find a more indigestible arti- cle than fried onions, and to many people they are simply poison, but the onion does not } veo alone in thie respect. Any aiticle of food that is not thoroughly di- ested becomes a source of. disease and iscomfort whether it be fried onions or beefsteak. The reason why any wholesome food is is because the tomach lacks some important element of digestion, some stomachs lack: ers are deficient in gastric juice, still sahets lack Hydrochloric acid. _ The one thing necessary to do in any case of poor digestion is to supply those elements of digestion which the ‘stomach lacks, and nothing does this so thorough- ly and safely tuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- ets. Dr. Richardson in writin treatment of na gia =o indigestion closes his remark y. say “for those suffering from acid renmaiatn shown by sour, watery risings, or for flatulent dys- pepsia shown by gas on stomach, caus- ing heart Saale and difficult breathi as well as for all other forms of stomac trouble, the safest treatment is to take one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets after each meal. I advise them be- couse they contain no harmful drugs, but are composed of valuable digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten. I never knew a case of indi on or even chronic dyspepsia whic Stuart's Catarrh Tablets would not reach.” Cheap cathartic medicines Calming to cure ‘arcahasi and indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively digesting the food and to call any cathartic medi- cine a cure for indigestion is a mis- nomer.

CATHOLICCHURCHES CROWDED. Various Denominations Fittingly Qb- serve the Beginning of the End of the Nineteenth Century. The passing of the old year was fittingly observed by various reiigious denomina- tions throughout the city. The beginning of the end of the nineteenth century was | gioriousiy we.comed. The occasion was of peculiar significance to Catholics. For the second time in a century m.dnight mass, at which the blessed sacrament was exposed and holy commun- jon administered, was celebrated. It was ordained by the Pope that mass should be said at midnight, so that the closing year of the century would be be- gun with pious ceremony, and aiso in ac- kiowlecgement of the benefits received dir- ey: pe:iod just e¢) e innovation proy populer. In every Catheilc edifice the - les were at- tenced by .arg At many commodate the worshippers. The music was of a high order and the most elab- orate progranmimes constizuied a feature af the services. . Midnight maes has never been allowed save occasionaily on the eve of Christmas and then the eucharist, which is held in the tenets of the Catholic creed to be the rea] presence of Christ, has never been distributed, Prompt.y at 12 o'clock in all of the Cath- olic churches the mass was begun. Tne faithful were not distinguished os age, cond.tion or co.or. The humble iaborer knelt beside his more prosperous brother, and nowhere was this fact of equality more strikingly indicated than at St. Xavier's aaron, Grand avenue and Lindell bouie- vard. For years the college church has been the mecca at feast celebrations for the (atho.ics of St. Louls. Sunday midnight was no exception to the ruie. Every available pew was occupied before 11:3 o'clock, and when the priests ap- peared at the altar the people were lined against the coors. ‘ithe aisles were impassable. The celebrant was Father i. M. mMcMenamy, who was assisted by Fathers Heitkamp and Ber- trand. Father Tayior delivered the ser- mon. The choir, under Alexander Hennemann lowing programme Haydn's sixteenth mass, Adeste Fidelis, “oO, Holy Night,” by Adam; ‘“‘Tantum Ergo,”’ by Roesi; the soos belng rendered by Miss Adelaide ‘Kalkman, Miss Tir.ie Cornet, Mrs. Charies Clark, Mr. F. Dierkes and Miss Marie Robyn, Mr. A. Welsenfield officiating as organist. The old Cathedral on Walnut street pre- sented an imposing spectacle. Many who had been present at services there a halt century ago were noticed in the congrega- tion last night. The altars were gorgeous.y decorated, and through the palms and pot- ted plants were intertwined the papal col- ors. Just above the altar were the illum- inated words: “Gloria in Excelsis Ded."’ Rev. Father Eugene Coyle, accompanied by the altar boys entered the sacristy and celebrated the mass unaeasisted. The music was under the direction of D. 8. de LAsie. who played the organ.

Mr. Reynolds called up Recorder Eeren in Clayton and ar- ranged to have a license iesived, and the young folks left the station in high glee. *‘We shall be married by a Clayton min- ister as #00n as we g£ei the license,’ they said, “‘and take an afternoon train for Ce- dar Rapids.”’ The courtship of Mr. Reynolds and Miss Gillham is a romance of rustic life as pure and tender as the courtship of Gabriel and Evangeline. Mr. Reynolds !s employed in @ railroad office in Cedar Rapids. Miss Gillham is the daughter of a farmer whose browd acres reach Erfield. The farmhouse is two miles in the country.

Lesueur and wife came down from Jefferson City Sun- cay night and passed New Year's day as guests at the Laclede Hotel. Capt. Lesueur stated to the Post-Dis- patch Monday morning that he had no in- tention of resiening hie office. He said his connect.on with the Kansas City Times as editor would not in any way interfere with his officta, duty as Becretary of State. ‘Positively and emphaticaliy,”’ said Capt.

Lesueur’s acceptance of the editorial management of the Times brought to “ sudden end his candidacy for renomination as Secretary of State. He has announced through the co.umns of the Times that he is not a candidate. More interesting than this announcement, however, is the Captain’s dec.aration that hes will not resign his office. The question ofthis resignation was raised by Gov. Steph- ens, between whom and the Secretary of State there is no frien@ship. Soon after Capt. Lesueur becamie connected. with the Times the Governor gave out an interview, in which he suggested that Capt. Lesueur’s acceptance of a private enitien rendered him inei gible to further occupancy of the office of Secretary of State. he Governor went #0 far as to even suggest that he might find it his duty to instruct the At- to» ney-General to institute ouster proceed- ings against Capt.

I was in suspense for three days until] 1 saw the list of dead and wounded. My lover’s name was _ there. Then one day came a telegram that Tom was mortally wounded. He had been shot through the neck while standing on the crest of the hill. “A week after the fight I got it from the hospital in Jackeonville, Fla. The nurse wrote that Tom was badly wounded, but might live. Lt was wild to go to his bedside, but father said it was not best. Finally Tom was. well and with me at En- field again.
