S-tion 7 of Article XI. of our state
constitution reads a follows: "The
ks!ature fhall pass laws to correct

The legislature of 1887 en-
at lfi a law "to reeulate railroads, nre-

for r. ioard of transportation," etc.
or. more properly speaking, pretended

Here, then, we have apparently had

Tax New Mexico Wcol
It logically follows from the decision
of the majority of the United States
supreme court that congress has pow
er to impose duties on the wool of
New Mexico, the seals and salmon of
Alaska and the copper of Arizona
when exported to the states, says the
Philadelphia Record. The only hope,
as Justice Brown expresses it, is that
congress will hot report to so wanton
and capricious an exercise of power.
But the framers of the constitution
conceived that they were imposing on
congress a more effective and endur
ing restraint in the provision that
taxes and duties should be uniform
throughout the United States. The re
cent majority decision restricts the
term United States, for revenue pur
poses, to the actual states.
Chief Justice Marshall evidently be
lieved that the constitution and the
flag were factors of equal jurisdic
tion. He is on record as stating that
"the constitution extends to all places
over which the. government extends,"
and that "the United States is the
name given to our great republic,
which is composed of states and terri
tories and embraces the whole Amer
ican empire." Denver News.
WU TING FANG
Ha is Considered the Most Keinarkabla
Kan Who Ever Cni From Lands That
. I s Our Ktltgions and
Philosophies
Little was known about Minister Wu
to indicate that his career in Washing
ton would differ materially from those
that had gone before. The brief intro
duction by Minister Denby, however,
contained three specifications, which
were encouraging, to say the least. He
had been admitted to the bar in Lon
don; he had served the ex-Viceroy Li
Hung Chang, at Tientsin; he spoke
English perfectly. These qualifications
presumed more or less contact with
western ideas and gave promise of a
capacity to deal understandingly with
American affairs. But that the new
minister was to leap at a bound into a
position of diplomatic influence hardly
eqtiaied by any of the representatives
of the ISuropean powers was not
dreamed of any more than it could
have been foreseen, that events in
China would culminate speedily in
such a way as to entangle the whole
civilized world and give scope for the
highest diplomatic genius..
No ordinary person could have
achieved this, but Wu Ting Fang is
the most extraordinary person who
ever came to us out of the east. He is
one of the individuals rare in $,ny
country whose intelligence is univer
sal in its range. He is a man of the
world in all that the phrase implies.
There is no company of men or women
among whom- he would not be at home.
His mind plays easily and swiftly. He
is quick of apprehension and speedy in
response: Sagacious, witty, astute, dis
cerning, and catholic in sympathy, his
aim has been to learn the ways of the
country and adapt himself to them. He
is an untiring student of American
literature and customs. He reads the
newspapers religiously, and has an in
timate acquaintance with the topics
of the day. He is fond of travel, and
likes to meet all kinds of people. He
sees everybody who calls to see him
at the legation, no matter how unim
portant the person or trifling the er
rand. He is democratic in his ways, and
fond of good-fellowship. But every
person he meets is a specimen to be
studied. Like Li Hung Chang, and like
many other Chinamen of that class,
he is a living interrogation point. Just
how far his incessant flow of questions
is due to a real desire to learn, and
just, how far it is due to a determina
tion that no embarrassing question
shall be put to him, it is impossible
to say. Nobody has ever yet been able
to treat him to a dose of his own medi
cine. He has a genius for fencing and
parrying personal inquiries, which is
comparable only to the ingenuity he
displays in framing inquiries of his
own. No one who has not. experienced
his running fire of questions can real
ize what a relentless cross-examination
means. And no one that has not un
dertaken to reply to his searching
queries can appreciate how difficult it
is to explain satisfactorily to an alien
intelligence conditions which to the
ordinary American mind are matters
of course. His logic is irresistible.
His face is a study in physiognomy.
It lightens with intelligence and hu
mor, and yet there is a firm set in the
features, and a suggestion of sternness
in the eye which betokens sturdy
thinking and determination. One feels,
in talking with him in his lightest
moods, that in other moods he can be
cruelly severe; that, however grac
ious and delightful he may be. he is
not a person to be trifled with, that
bis lip is as quick to scorn as to jest,
and that his voice is no better fitted
for flattery than for command.
Physically, he is of medium height

and of medium build, a trifle stouter,
perhaps, than the average of hi3 race,
and clothed with muscles worthy of an
athlete. -There are few women who
would not envy him the perfect teeth,
white, hard and small, which he dis
plays as often as he smiles. He is
graceful in his movements, and car
ries himself always with a dignity
that is enhanced by his flowing robes
of silk. His manner of life, to all out
ward appearances, is that of any well
born American. There Is hardly an
Oriental suggestion in the furnishings
of the handsome house in a fashion
able quarter of the town, which he en
gaged for legation purposes when he
first came to Washington. Madam Wu,
whom he married twenty years ago in
China, and who looks for all the
world as if she had stepped out of a
Chinese picture, pays calls and re
ceives them as regular as any other
woman of her Station. She attends the
theatre with him and frequents public
places. His eighteen-year-old boy
plays with American youngsters, and
is getting an American education; he
goes to the public schools and beats
all other children in their studies.

Complete Ksport For- alt Counties, Shovr
Ing leaven Counties Fully
Paid t'p.
Although receipts are not coming in
at a very rapid rate, yet two counties,
Hall and Thurston, placed themselves
in the list of counties fully paid up.
The table showing how the counties
stand at this date is worthy of some
study. It will be observed that a
large number of the counties might,
by a little additional effort, raise the
small balance necessary to place them
in the list of paid up counties. Of
course it can never be accomplished by
waiting for the other fellow to pay
first.

How They Stand
As promised last week, we present
herewith a table showing the follow
ing items: (1) The first column shows,
in the nearest even dollars, the amount
each county should contribute to pay
its share of the debt; this is substan
tially one-half the sum mentioned in
our table given April IS, 1901, which
contemplated payment of the debt and
a surplus for the coming campaign.
The total for all the counties is $2,S66,
being made about $600 greater than the
total debt when the ways and means
committee began work, in order to
cover the possible and probable fail
ure of some of the counties to pay in
fuL, and to cover postage, printing
bills, etc. (2) The. second column
shows the amount each county has
contributed to the ways and means
committee up to and including Wed
nesday, June 5, 1901. (3) The third
column shows the amount still due
trom each county to complete pay
ment of its share of the debt- It will
be noted that eleven counties have
paid their full quota, and in some in
stances considerable more. These are
as follows:

Lincoln's Largut Stori
The Farmers Supply Association in
the conduct of their large , mail order
business and retail trade occupy more
floor space than any other mercantile
institution in this city. The store is
located opposite the Oliver theatre,
128-1S0-132 North 13th street, five stor
ies and a basement. Their immense
stock of goods makes one of the finest
displays for the inspection of visitors
to be found in the city. If you have
never seen the stock do not fail to do
so the first time you are in Lincoln.
Visitors are always welcome.
The last report of the secretary of
the Nebraska bmk examiners has the
following figures:

The Policy of TrustSvThey Should
Be Protected t What Next?
- ,
An Indiana jury decides that coun
terfeit money is good enough to gam
ble with. So not only counterfeit
money, but a forged note or forged
bank draft are good enough for gam
blers, thieves or robbers. But it is
rather dirty business, to use such
things. in the government army to de
coy the enemy. It looks a little as
though honor in Christian war has
been let down a peg, but the gambler
takes without returning an equivalent.
What will the Filipinos get for the
forgery of General Funston?
McKinley begins to think the tariff
is a little too high on trust goods, but
the trusts own the government so
there is no hope for the farmer. He
must sell his wheat and meat at Eu
ropean prices and pay high tariff trust
prices for manufactured goods. .
Divorces seem to be on an inerease;
that is, the per cent compared with
marriages. xVud.yet the man and wife
who smoke, chew, drink, together visit
saloons and gambling hells are not
troubled with an inclination to be di
vorcf 6. It seems the only way to stop
the increase of divorces is for the
wives of vile men to join their hus
bands in all their vileness, then there
will be harmony.
If "expansion" meant to extend the
principles of our government, as Jef
ferson and Washington . laid them
down, it would be different, but, no.
we are "expanding"' just as England
and Russia are, for the purpose of rul
ing and making money out of foreign
peopla without giving them any voice
K the government.
Wish we knew whether C. G.; Dawes
would favor the enlargement of the
gold dollar as soon as the greenbacks,
treasury notes and silver certificates
are burned and the legal tender power
is knocked out of silver. Not a repub
lican speaker or editor advocates let
ting the money alone where it is.
Trusts, like railroads, do not figure
how cheap they can sell their goods,
but how high a price they can put on
and yet have their goods taken and

It seems to be definitely settled that
neither the Declaration or the constitu
tion goes with the flag. The stars and
stripes represent nothing of the kind.
The next question will be: Has the
constitution anything to do with Con
gress. If the flag means nothing the
constitution means nothing. Heavy
taxes; long purses and big guns is all
the flag represents. The courts and
congress, and president off the same
piece, seem to have no further use for
the odd . notions of our revolutionary
fathers. The government must be re

as possible., Of course it should be so
as.' long as a majority vote for it.

Scotsmen Differ I RsgarA ta th
MMllcuatre' Hettut Offer.
Not only in Scotland Lai Mr. Andrtw
Carnegie' great gift of $10,000,000 tr
the tmlTersitiss of north Britain arous-l
ed objections? among Scotsmen in New
York city - also, while the generotity
of the donation is fully recgnijEut
there is a tendency to question wh'etheri
the advantages that will undoubtedly,
accrue from it will not be outweighed
by the "disadvantages that It Is feared!
may come in in Its train, aays the Ne-w
York Herald. Nearly everything d:
pends upon the mode of administration'
of the $10,000,000, and the decision in
the matter at present pending is ronae
fjuently awaited with keen interest in
New York.
The Bev. D. S. Maekay. pastor of th
Fifth Avenue Reformed Collegiata'"
church, said recently:
"Every Scotsman must feel Imprest.'
ed by the splendid gift of Mr. Carnegi,
to Scotland. As to the admlnlstratlottt
of this money there may be dlff erenceii
of opinion. In my Judgment It would;
appear inadvisable to use this great
fund to , abolish da ss fees and makf i
collegiate education free. , Scotch inde
pendence will probably resent that ap.
plication of Mr. Carnegie's generosity..
Being ignorant of his exact purposes, X
can only say, knowing the limits of
university education in Scotland, that
resources 'are cramped, and this is tlw
most princely and helpful gift Scotland
lias ever received.
'As Mr. Fronde, says .in opening hi
life of Carlyle, 'education is a passion
of Scotsmen.' The fact that they bar
to light for an education, that they
win their degrees through self denial
and self sacrifice, makes their educa-;
tion so sacred that they would resent
the idea of having it free, even through
Mr. Carnegie's munificence." .
Another Scotsman, a well known of
ficer of St. Andrew's society, who re
fused to allow his name to be quoted,
said:
"Scotland will be .more than $10,00a
000 poorer because of this gift. Mr.
Carnegie, as we knew him for years,
was liberal with those ready to beln
themselves and refused to give any
thing to any one unwilling to add to
the effort for his own benefit. The Mr.
Carnegie we read of In the cable
would make. out universities perpetual-
! ly free, would open them up aa a port
' of free educational lunch of pate d
f ois gras. instead of the wholesome,
hard earned porridge of our fathers. '
"He should have devoted the greater
part of -that money to the publi;
schools, to the increase In pay of tb
poor teachers, and the rest eould hav
been used Ju founding a fjerr competi
tive scholarships and endowing collegi
ate thairs and establishing fund for

SCHIFF'S BIBLE MUSEUM

UarTard's Great Semitic Collect!.

Northern Pacific corner realized thar
he has Another side to his life and 'is
known among students as the donor of
the new building for Harvard's Semitic
museum, one of the moft Interesting
special collections in the country, . a
museum .Illustrating the life and
thought of the Semitic peoples, ancieiit
and modern, including the Babylonian
Assyrian, the Arabian, the Phoenician,
the Moa bite, the Ethiopian, the Syrian
and other branches, with the Hebrew
Palestinian, so called, a a the nucleus
and central feature of the wholes It It,
in fact, in the broad and scientific
sense, a Bible museum, intended not
only to illustrate the instruction givta
in the Semitic department at Harvard,
but to be a workiug aid to serious Bibl
students everywhere, both In the uni
versity aud out of it.
It was founded in 18$'J by a, gift of
$10,000 - from Mr. SehJff for the pur
chase of material. In 1$:m) Mr. SchiflT
offered to give $25,000 for a building
provided as much more were secured
from other sources. When nearly $20,-

j main one must consider it in thit

has been said, the aim is to make it C
