Of course this would mean the retirement of Assistant Secretauy of War Melklejoiun , and this may explain the fact that the name of that gentleman lma fmequentiy been hoard in connection with the candidacy - dacy for the gubernatorial nomination. Weli posted repumbitcan politicians recaii the tact that during the first termu of President Harrison Lorenzo Cmoumnse held an important poshtion in the Treasury department - partment , but little below a cabinet po. sition , When Mr. flosewater acquIred tlio Itch for the postmaster generalship he hied him to The ICeamney convention and ihaistod that he must have the in- dorsemnent of being made mmationai committeeman - teeman ( toni this state in order to enable lilnm to get his place. Ho got what lie was after ! n dime course of tlmne.'hcn his aspirations - pirations became known to tluo leaders of the party of course it became apparent that something must be done to get Mr. Crounso out of the high Position he lucid in the Trefla- ury department in order to permit Nebraska to break into the cabinet. Hon. E. K. Vol. entine Is reported to have been the emissary to whom the president entrusted this work. \Vhien lie came to Nebraska ho found that Mr. itosewater had a candidate for governor in the person of Dr. S. D. Mercer of this city. nut Valentine had aqothmer scheme. It was to make Lorenzo Crounso governor of Nebraska , so that he would let go of his Job im Washington and make room for flosewator. In due course of time , so It Is related , an editorial appeared in The Bee declaring that if Dr. Mercer were to be nominated it would develop into a boodle rampalgn. Then he sprung the name of Lorenzo Crounse , and it took. it was apparent - parent that the leading organ of the opposition - sition would not be In position to violently oppose Crounse's candidacy , for the reason that Its publisher was a member of the Crounso family. Imi that way Governor Crounse was removed from his Job in Washington - ington to make a prospective place for Rosewater - water , but through the irony of fate Crounse was elected governor of Nebraska , and Rose- water's imopes of being postmaster general went glimmering with time returns from the outlying precincts. But over sInce that time Mr. Rosewater , for reaSons which lie best knows , has pined to omnc day be postmaster general , and now he is out for the job In earnest. That is why he endeavored to secure the promise of Ben Baker to appoint luimn as a prIce of his silence or his friendship. hitmt when hIs emissary laid imia plans before Baker the latter is 'reported to have replied timat. he would not make any such a promise. but he vas ready to promise that if It became hula privilege as governor to appoint a successor to Hon. John M. Thurston he would appoimit a man who was known to be a republican and one who would be satisfactory to the party. Tlmen it wns that Ben Baker began to entertain - tertain fears that Mr. flosewater might start out to prevent Imlmn from getting hula home delegation , Ha Is reported to have understood - stood that Rosewater ss'as laying his plans to hold a itttle snap convention of his own , rund be concluded to forestall him. When It came to the appoiimtment of delegates lie put the nanie of flosewater on time list , and In that vay tiei his mouth. But It Is 'hmis- pered that ( ho list purposely Included 116 delegates , or about sixteen more ( han the county is entitled to ummdcr th call , and it Is suggested tlmat just before the conven- then Mr. Baker , who selected time list , sviii cut it down to the proper number.

'l'imts does not mean that Chicago Is more patriotic thamu other sections of time state , but simply that it iuad a greater nttmuiber of available mcmi. Nor do these figures represent - sent , eXcClt in a timimiji' degree , the wiillrmg- ness of 1liinol citizens tovage a war of humanity and for time honor of the country. Chicago has about twenty provisional regi- meats and other sections of the state about eIghteen regiments awaitlmmg call. They could be recuited to their full force anti made ready for marching orders in a very short time. Nor does thIs compiete the chapter on Illinois patriotism in the war with Spain. A number of the southern states have been recruiting In Chicago , and some men from this city have cuiistcd in the regular service. Illinois' sister states have been conmpara- ttvely prompt and patriotic in answering time present call. The fightIng qualities of the men from the northwest have been successfuiiy demon- stratcd in every engagement in which they lave ! participated , and particularly In the Iattie of Santiago. The troops from IllinoIs elicited the highest praise from the regulars for drill amid discipline , which are the quail- ties that give the greatest effectiveness to soldiers In action. The whole war record of ( hue northwest is one to be proud of , and it Is the best proof that the patriotism of thIs sectIon is not conhlmiod to words , but finds its highest expression in patriotic deeds ARE RENT RECIIII'TS TAXAULIIC A Question of ConMtderabie Interest to LnhIliordM. Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican. Are receipts for the payment of house rents taxable under the war revenue act ? The federal authorities at New York main- ( ala that they are. The law specifies a tax of 25 cents on each "lease , agreement , menuorandum or contract for the hire , use , or rent of any land , tenement or portion thereof , it for a period of time not cx- 'ceeding one year , " It for longer periods time tax is larger. it is under this provisioum of the law that rent receipts wIll ho taxable , if at all. It would certalniy be a most Inequitable - equitable tax. The tenant paying a monthly rent of $6 or $10 would be taxed ( lie same as the 30-dollar a month tenant , and the yearly lease-holder whose rent would run into the thousands of dollars a year would pay only 25 cents a year , whIle the 6-a- month temmant would pay 3 a year on his receipted monthly p.myments. The tax could partially bc avoided by paying rent through the means of bank checks , and this method is being resorted to imi many cases in New York city ; but the poorer class of tenants , 11900 whom the tax would tall most heavily , do not carry bank balances to check against , flnl will hardly be able to start such bah- ances for time present purpose. While Corn- missioner Scott , at. the head of the internal revenue departmemut , has not made a general - oral ruling on ( lie subject , he has pronounced - nounced as taxable certain printed forms of m'eceipts , mind rent receipts would seem to offer no exception. Ills ruling would stand , unless overthrown on appeal by the courts. Pence iiiid the iixiosItlom. PhIladelphia Press.
