(ion Matthews on the Caban Question. Governor Claude -Matthews talks boldly and frankly , saying to the Enquirer representative: “Without giving the subject that exhaustive study which its importance demands, I do not agree with Mr. Olney's po»itiou, for it seems to me that if the power is vested in congress to declare wai uuder the constitution, there should be a right to an equal power in recognizing the independence of a people, and such right could hardly be considered a purely executive function. If congress should pass a peso’at ion recognizing the independence ol the♦Cuhans. the president veto, and congress afterward pass it over the president'; veto, I do not believe be would refuse tc act. My sympathies are so strong iu behali of Cuba that 1 hope congress will take such action, and In view of previous history in such matters 1 cannot see why Spain should regard it as a, declaration of war on our i part. In a great cause*, involving the broad sense of justice and humanity, 1 do not regard war as im unmitigated evil. Humanity itself gives sufficient excuse for prompt and speedy recognition by our government, to the end that a cruel and barbarous war shall lie brought to a close. We recognized the independence ol the Texas republic, and* the brutal murder of the Alamo gave us sufficient foundation. We also recognized the independence of the South American Republics. That the Cubans may have uo ports of entry, no cities or established seats of government is not sufficient reason for refusing to recognize them. For a long time in the war of the revolution our fathers were not in control of ports of entry, and had no |>ermanent nor established seat of government, moving from place to place ‘on the approach of the British forces, yet France recognized us ami gaye that substantial aid which led to success. Every reason, which justified aid by foreign powers to our infant republic justifies such action on our part towards Cuba. I have regretted the position taken'by Mr. Cleveland all along upon this questiou. Long l'f"re this Mligeppiit rights should have been accorded. If congress should recognize their independence I believe Mr. Cleveland will be slow to dispute its right or power to do so.” j

IMPUDENT BANKERS. IttafBkTCSmlndk Plan bjr Which Tfcej Hope to Make •100,000,000. A oall baa been issued for a national bank conference at Indianapolis a few weeks hence, remarks the New York News. The object is to endeavor to abolish government greenbacks and treasury ; notes and to substitute bank promises to ; pay, based upon a new government interest bearing debt, which would amount to $400,000,000 in addition to what oar government now owes. If a proposition like this were made ! to an individual—that he should deliberately incur a debt at interest and ! with the money pay off a debt which j bore no interest at all, and which no- [ body was hurrying him to p<*y off—be ' would consider it a mere joke. But the I money bags who will meet at Indian- ; apolis are not joking. They have been emboldened by their victory in the presidential election, and they deem this an appropriate moment to make further demands upon the McKinley administration and upon the people. And for what reason do they demand this act of folly? Why are not government paper dollars better any day than bank promises to pay? Why should we borrow of the national bankers $400,000,000, and give our bonds with interest for the loan, in order to afford them a chance to make another hundred millions by printing and issuing the people’s paper money, which the government has done in the shape of greenbacks for a third of a century? Of all the absurd and preposterous plans of finance that have been presented to the American people this is the worst, likewise the most impudent.

REMOVE STAGNATION. Republican Party Should Make Good It* Ante-election Promises. Wo are glad to observe that some o! the eastern editors are beginning to see the situation as The Constitution sees it, and that they are urging, as we have urged, the Republicans to get togethei and give the people substantial relief. The New Teak Commercial Advertiser, which was and is a rampant advocate of the single gold standard, calls the attention of its Republican contemporaries to the really narrow margin by which the McKinley victory was won and urges the brethren to get togethei at once and do all they can to restore good times, declaring that nothing will serve so effectually to put an end to silver agitation as the removal of industrial stagnation. It will be seen that The Commercial Advertiser admits that there is industrial stagnation—that the mere announcement of Mr. McKinley’s election has not had the effect of restoring prosperity. This is precisely the information which The Constitution has been trying to impart to the Republicans, and as it comes fiom a nervously wide awake Republican organ, none of oui contemporaries will go so far as to refer to it as a case of calamity howling.— Atlanta Constitution. * / “MENE, MENE, TEKEL,” ETC. Senator Quay Read* the Handwriting on the Election Wail. In the United States senate vro hare millionaires and business men enough; the people most in need of protection are the fanners, the artisans and the laborers.—Senator Matt S. Quay. J Has it come to this—that the great Republican manipulator, “fat frier” and practical politician has read thfe handwriting on the wall and ere the feast is fairly spread? But Senator Quay is not the only one whose “joints are loosed” and whose “knees smite one against the other. ” The fright has spread all through the Republican ranks, and the party of “great moral ideas” has suddenly concluded that it is about time to cater less to Mammon andfiaore to the peopta It is clear to them that had it not been for the “ignorant foreign vote,” as they have been wont to term it—a vote they have always hated and often feared in the past—they would have suffered a humiliating defeat p

One safe and certain rule for congress to observe is that of putting upon the free list every manufactured product, foreign competition with which is hindered by duties.— Philadelphia Ledger. * For the Inaugural Balt In case Mr. Hanna decides on a few fancy dances for the inaugural ball we would advise him tosign Warner Miller for (me of his outside the breastworks skirt dauc«& With the proper music and calcium efforts, Warner can give ah exhibition of high and hard kickingrtlmt will simply set the front row wild.— Washington Post • \ The Prince of Wales Spent #50,000,000 in S3 years and has nothing to show for it This record is only equaled by a Mr. Hanna of Cleveland, who spent #15,000,000" in five months, but has a presidency end a congress to show for it—Omaha World-Herald.

An additional tax of I1.U0 for one Dog and 5-00 for each additional Dog, and $2.00 for each Female Dog. The full amount of tax may be pahi on or before the Third Monday in April, 1887. or the >ne-half thereof with ail Koad Taxes added, and the remainder on or be fore the First Monday In November, following. When the first installment is not paid prior to the Third Monday in April, the whole tax becomes delinquent and ten per cent penalty and costs of collection will be added as pro* vided by law. Persons owing Delinquent Taxes should pay them at once. The law now Is of such a character that there is no option left the Treasurer but to enforce the collection of delinquent taxes, however much he may regret to collect the same by the sale of property. The time for the payment* of taxes without penalty cannot hereafter be extended beyond—\ the Third Monday in April and the First Monday in November. Persons who have been in ) the habit of pay lug after that time will bear this in mind. The law compels settlement to ha / made oh ti:*e. , f Please do not ask to have your receipts made out for future payment. No county order will be paid to any person owing delinquent taxes, and parties are warned not to purchase such orders as they will be held for delinquent tax of original owner. Bring your Koad Receipts with you when you ph.v your first installment, as I cannot take receipts after ray annual settlement in June. No Koad Recetpt will be received or credited unless presented by the person owning the land for which the reeeipt was given. it is the duty of taxpayers to call for property on wuich they wish to pay, and see that they have separate receipts for each township or town, and see that they are correct before leaving the office. Call on the Auditor for auy reduction in taxes. The Treasurer cannot make such reduct Ions Taxpayers will find it greatly to their advantage to call early and avoid mistakes incident to the rush of business of the last few days. And those who have tiieir taxes complicated, such as undivided estates, are especially requested to cal) when we are at leisure, as it requires considerable time to make the divisions and make separate receipts.
