Henry Wateraon In Louisville Courier Journal. Dockery and the School Fund. The extremely tatisfnetory reduction of the bonded debt lino been made upon h reduced rnte ot taxation. The state's certificates of indebtedners due the ecliool funds now call for Sl,:'93,839, the interest of which goes to support the Btnte university and our public schoil system. Candid-ate Dockery. fully two thirds of the debt reduction has not come from taxatiou. but from the following sources. II. &. St. Joseph railroad sale $3,180,000; wnr tnx refunded by the general government, SGIG.UOO; state bonds cancelled and state certili cates issued in liou, 34,195,000; a totil of $3,222,000, all of which was used in re ducing the state debt. As we have frequently stated in these columns the state school fund was created by the Republican constitution of 18G5,and was invested in United States bonds nnd the general government paid the interest to the state nnd that inter est largely supported the schools. In violation of the constitution, which still provides that that fund shall be securely preserved, the entire fund has been spent and instead of a fund, there is n debt to that amount to pay the interest on which the people of the state are annually taxed, and some of them are deluded into the belief that they are receiving state school money from the interest on a fund. They will be enlightened on that point by rending page 140 of the Session Acts of 18S3. By then referring to page 12 of the Session Acts of 1899, the reader will discover that the sum of $500,.rl'l is appropriated out ot theslate interest fund, annually raised by taxa tion to pay interest on these ccrtilicales of indebtedness, which are the only evi dence remaining that the children of our state ever had "a fund spcurely in vested nnd sacredly preserved, only the interest to be used for the support of the public schools." If these funds had remained as the Republican constitution provided, invested in United States bonds, the general government would have paid the interest, instead of the Missouri tax-payer, and many million dollars would have been saved to the tax-payers ot the state.

How ManyP How many persons in the United States really and truly believe that their liberties will bo in danger if the Philip pines remain in the possession of the United Stntes?

Tho tax levy it is tiue has been re duci d from 30 cents to 25 cents, but it has been reduced by virtue of the con stitution. Tlie assest-ineul values are increased, and hence theiis i i virtually no reduction ot taxation. Jasper coutity paid under a 30 cent levy 839,852 and under n 25 cent levy 814,715; Mucou p ud $20 ,4:13; under a 30 cent levy nnd $30,442 under a 25 cent levy; Greene paid $50,717 under a 30 cent levy and $53,270 uud-r a 25 cent levy. Holt paiJ $19,578 in 1891 and $20,957 in 1893. Let us present additional facts on this subject taken f rum the t tile auditor's ollicinl reports. Dodger Dockery in stating thai- tho lax levy had been re duced aims to make the tux payer be lieve that in consequence of this reduc tion his taxes are less. Let us examine into this matter as it nppliis to Holt county. In this county m 1891 when the levy fur state purposes wiib 30 cents n the $100, the farm lands or Holt coun ty were assisted nt $2,774,920; in 1S93 they hud beon increased to $3,371,130; a total increase in valuations ot the farm er's land or $1,09(5,210; or equivalent to an advance of 4 per cent. Now let the farmers or Holt compare the advances made along this line with those made on the railroad properties in Holt county. In 1391 the railroad prop erty in Holt county was asscsied nl$747,- 000, and in 1S9S it was assessed at $314,- 715; a total increase or $07,019, equival ent to an udvance or only D per cent. The discrimination against tho Ilok county farmer is bo brozen that a blind man might Bee, nnd the reduction of the tax levy does not always mean lower taxes; especially with the present Demo cratic state house gang, that runs the btate board of equalization. It will not do to say that this com parison with Holt is an exception; take Daviess county the home ot Dodger Dockery. In 1891 her farm lands wore assess id at $2,703,917 under a thirty cent levy, and m 1893 these lands uuder a 25 cent levy were assessed at $3,G38,5S3, an advance in assessed valuations ot $809,- C3G, or about 23 pur cent, while the railroad astefement shows the following valuations; in 1891 the railroad, tele graph and bridge properties were assets ed nt $727,722 und in 181)3, the assess ment was $851,234, an increase of 10 per ceut only. Let us look at the average values per acre in Daviess county. In 1891 under the average value per acre ot farm lur.de iu Daviebs counlv was $7.39 uuder a 30 cent levy, and in 1898 uuder a 25 cent levy the average value per acre had been advanced to 10.00 per acre, or about an increase ot 33 per cent. These outrageous discriminations a gaiubtthe farmers by the present state bouse ring will apply to other counties: Let us take the counties in this portion or our btate: 1891 1898 increase Andrew.. 82,832,275 $3,011,570 $179,295 Atchison. 3,303,785 4.452,280 1,088,495 Buchanan 4,810,020 5,039,740 223,720 Holt 2,774,920 3,171, I'M) 1,090,210 Nodaway. !i.:H7.807 U.U0I.&UL tXil.iM Platte.... 3,023,075 3.129,400 100,725 Gentry... 2.343.090 2.859,047 5I5.U57 Worth.... 1,101,004 1,472,481 310,817 The Lexow committee appointed by Governor Stephens, the majority ot which uere Democrats, in their report to the legislature said: "The farms and personal property if Bold under the hum mer, would not bring their assessed value, yet the street railways ot St. Louis could be cashed tiny day for $43,- 000,000, over five times their usseeBed value." We bolieve that any unprejudiced mind will eto that the Democratic etate ring discriminates against tho farmer; that the reduction of the levy does not mean lower taxes, but in ".lie contrary, they haye been increased; that Mr. Dockery is trying to foul the people; that ho justifies this discrimination be cause the platform upon which hestnnds endorses the management or our state affairs.

The Democratic Emblem of 1000. For several campaigns past the Detn ocrats have resented Republican use of the Stars und Stripes as tho party 0111 blem. "It is our ting, ns 11 is yours," they have snid indignantly. "Your at tempt to make it the badge of your par tisnnship is pretentions nud unwar rnaated.'' llryan, now, has made for his follow ere a party emblem from which the Hag in epecilicully excluded. The distin guishing sign or Democracy is to-day nut a ttng but n llngntnlT, from which Itrynn, the friend or Aguinuldo aud the enemy ot American sovereignty 111 the territory won from Spain, lias hauled the national bniiner down. The only mark suitable, for the hnro ki1p thus stripped of the. iiattoiinl colors, is n blnek "10 to K" Mutnwhite the Stnrn nnd St ripen nre kept Hying utendilv by n Republican Admlnlotrntlon nud niillionnof patriotic Aii'orieniiis regnrdleonuX party politic. Very Near to Treason. Among the ten thousand words ot Mr. Bryan's painfully wrought essay on t!e them tiiat "republics can have no sub jects," these only deserviug ot serious cuubiderution: "H elected I shall convene coo ureas in exlraordiuay session as sjoq as I am in augurated, and recommend aa immed iate declirutiou or the nation s purpose, firct, to establish a stable form ot gov ernment in the Philippine Islands, just as we are now establishing n stable form or government in the island of Cuba; secoud, to give independence to the Fihpin h, jiiot as we have promised to give independence to the Cubans; third, to unit eel the Filipinos from outside in teiference while they work out their dettim. just as we have protected the republics of Central and South America, and are, by the M mi roe Doctrine, pledged to protect Uuba. This is definite enuugh as a statement of intentions and a pledge of action in case Mr. Iiryau is elected president. He will convene congress in extraordinary session nnd uso all the power that a president can exert to induce congres to withdraw the Hag of the United States from the Philippine Islands. When Mr. liiyan pronounced these words, did it occur to him thathe might be giving at that very moment the sig nal for the death or hundreds or thous ands or our soldiers in the Philippines? The United States Government is en gaged in stamping out the embers or re bellion in Luzon; and our men there are doing their duly under the Hag. The insurrection in Luzon has fouud its mainstay in the encourngemeut to continued resistance which the utter ances ot certain Americon citizens here at home have a Ho riled to its leaders. Most ot Aguinald's symp ithizera have been persons witout ollicinl responsibil ity, like Atkinson and Garrison and Winslow. A few, like Pettigrew. hold Federal office without exerting much in lluenco on American opinion. Rut the utterances of even these irresponsibles and lightweights have served, as Law ton testiiif d just before his own death, to eped the bullets that have sent our officers nnd privates to the grave. And now the man who will be Presi dent of the United Stiles if the Democ racy win this election tends to the in surgeuts his message of hope and stim ulus. 'Keep up your tight," ha says to Aguinaldo's Tagals. "Keep on shooting down the men who wear the United States uniform. If I am elected you will have won." In the maze or his theoretical argu mentation and nnd in the confusion of his rhetorical detail, did William J. llryan really understand how nenr he was to treason? Did he forsee the one direct, practi cal, murderous effect ot his promise to to the rebels in arms against the United Stntes Government and Hag? Constitutional Amendments. Seven amendments will be appended to the ticket in the November election. They nre us follows: Making indictment or information concurrent remedies in criminal prose cutions. Pjoviding the levy ot n special road and bridge tax ot 15 cents. Providing that the value of property subject to mortgage, deed ot trust, less the value of each security, shall be as sessed to the owner or the property, aud the value ot the security assessed to the owner thereof; nud Hint a contract made in violation or such provision is null and void. Authorizing the issue or bonds by the city of St. Louis in aid of the World's Fair. Providing that no Grand Jury ahull be convened except upon order of judge of court having power to try and de termine felonies; but when bo assem bled, may indict for any crime. Providing that in courts not ot record two-thirds of jury may reader verdict in civil cases, and in ciiminal cases three fourths of jury. The Political Lesson of the Alabama. Our new warship, the Alabama, has completed a very successful trial. Everywhere the public pride in her is finding expression in tho newspapers. She makes the eighth American ship to carry big guns and to wenr armor, and, fortunately, in our opinion, there are more to come. No followers of William Jennings Urayn, though, can properly take part in the general felicitation, for the rea son that politically they are against the Alabama und the thing she reprrsenlp. They nre engnged, to the best nnd loud est of their ability, in swelling a howl ngainst "militarism" or which the Ala bama is a shining and powerful ox ample. The country is confronted with rebellion in a portion of its territory in the Kast nnd with an extraordinary need of troops in China, but the Demo crats are openly espousing the cause of the rebellion, demanding the immediate ieturn of our troops from China, ro gardless ot consequences, and calling for a radical reduction or the army as a fountain of "militarism." Logically this perverse criuade op poses the navy nls.i, because, without an army a navy- is comparatively uso Iess. Away with army and navy! Down with the gold standard! Three cheers for Aguinaldo! TIisb are the warcries of the Democratic campaign of 1900. Ik it had not been for Republican "expansion" Hawaii would not have become a part of the Union; if Hawaii had not become a part of the Union, a Hawaiiau dclegato-at-Iarge would not have eat in the Democratic convention nnd been a member of the platform committee; if it had uot been for the vote or this Hawaiian member or tho platform committee, the lflto 1 plank would have beon beaten despite the tel ephonic orders from Lincoln; it this plank had been beaten, llryan, accord ing to his own word?, would hnvo re fused to run for President. How, there fore, caii Bryan logically inveigh against expansion, in view or the fact that he himself iB a derivnle from it? The war ngainst municipal disthi ra tion and untidiness is fruitful in ex prtMjriye snyingr. A recent remnrk is worth recording: "There tuny be euch a thing as neslhetlc disorder, but there is no nuch thing ns nrtiattc dirt."

The Secrelury of the Treasury's dis cussion of n-Bryanite secretary's power for harm by merely pajing the Govern ment's obligations in silver solely, has caused wide and grave concern. If Sec retary Gage to morrow should announce a change of tinnncial heart and n deter mination thus to exalt 6ilyer in impor tance, even with the while house and the capitol under Republican control, the damage brought upon American business would be Berious and probably immense. Consider, then, for 11 moment the moral effect or the success or Bryan and the Kansas City platform, both solemn ly nnd aggressively pledged to the Tree coinage or silver at 10 to 1! What would ba the condition of bus iness in a country that voted for repud iation? What would be its commercial reputation for nil ruturo time?

The Shirt Waist. The shirt waist for tnnn is spreading widely. If one looks down the aisle of u suburban railrofid car on a hot after noon, the coats visible are the exception. The shirts predominate. Formerly afew unconventional individuals indulged iu the comfort or throwing off their coats, but now it appears almost the fashion. In the smoking car at least. It shows signB of overllowing into the cars where women travel nlso. The other day n young man wns observed to tuke off his coat in the presence ot women. Judging by the quality of his dress, he would not have drenmed at doing n thing so cad dish before the beginning of the shirt waist movement. He didn't even haye on n shirt wnisl, but wore the irredeem ubly uuilref". article, lh waist-.'oat. He truly was in his shirt t-leeyes. Men can be seen driving in lite coun try 111 shirt waists. Soon, no doubt, many wiio today carry their coats on their arm:', in compromise with old-fashioned notions of propri-ty, as they would carry gloves in their hands, will leave their coats nt home altogether. Man has tasted a comfort which he hud not known before, through fashion. Perhaps he will be unwilling to abandon it and, in that case, there is bound to be n shirt-waist development tut beyond Hint or tho present. It is n radical in novation, which the precedents ot con servatistn are against, but if it is to come it must be snid that the Mhirl-waist man is decently clad, if he is not elegantly dressed. -New Y'ork Sun.
