Governor Tanner, of Illinois, was at tbe war department today, and as a 1 result of a talk with him Adjutant 1 General Corbin issued orders to mus ter out tbe First, Fifth and Seventh , Illinois. The governor says that mat ters are preceding very satisfactorily between the state and the government for tbe settlement of tbe state's claims for expenses incurred in organizing Volunteers for tbe war. The department has by tbe order of the president directed tbal all volun teer regiments that took part in tbe Santiago campaigh shall be allowed sixty days furlough and tbe men can go to their home for that time. The effect of thie will be to delay tbe mastering out of tbe regiments, because tbe men have been given sixty days' leave and can go home at once. It ia therefore not likely that any of tbe volunteer regiments who were in Cuba will be included in the lists of regiments to be mustered out at once. 1 Tbe Philippine Islands commission in Europe has addressed a letter to Preeident McKinley regarding tbe I appeals made to him by high Roman 1 Catholic ecclesiastics in America to protect tbe religious orders in the islands. Tbe expulsion of the friars, tbe commission contends, is "a neces sary antecedent to moral sanitation.” The letter names particularly the archbishop of Manila and tbe biebops of Nueva Covia and Nueva Caaeree, "whose acts of hostility against both natives and Americans and against the Jesuits and other respected relig ious institutions are condemned by every one." The commission urges Preeident McKinley to “aid tbe Filipinos to sup press the immorality of the diabolical institutions fostered by these monks and the letter concludes as follows: "Your name can never be associated with that of the friars; and the sense of right of the noble nation at whose head you are placed will never permit the ever victorious and humanitarian stars and stripes to protect them.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Dublin, Ga , Aug. 27.—Special Governor Atkinson opened tbe cam paign Io South Georgia today at this place, in the grandest speech of bis life. He was greeted by an audience of several hundred people, who were electrified by bis eloquence and con vinced by bis logic. He opened his address with the following tribute to the democratic party: My Fellow Countrymen: In obedi ence to tbe request of tbe State Demo cratic Executive Committee I come to speak to you in the interest of the Democratic party of Georgia. In tbe performance of this pleasant task I shall not endeavor to cast a shadow over the history of Georgia Democracy, nor defame the name dr sully tbe honor of my State by declining to champion tbe history of my party, or failing to do justice to her splendid achievements since the people have entrusted to her keeping the care and destiny of tbe. State. Tbe Bute Democracy has been hon orable in its career, splendid in its achievements, and is today as worthy the. confidence of tbe people as at any lira* in its history. This proposition I stand ready to maintain against the carping of all critics, I care not from whence they come. I am frank to confess to you that if, during the quar ter of a centuzy we have been in power under tbe administrations of Governors Smith, Colquitt, Stephens, Boynton, McDaniel, Gordon, Northen and my self, each of which has been solemnly indorsed by Democratic State Conven tions, the party has been corrupt, extravagant and incapable, the time has come when it should be driven from power, and the future of our State entrusted to other hands. I come not to condemn nor apolo gize for the history of my party, but as its advocate and defender, to declare to you that all Georgians should boast of its achievements and be proud of its record. Every man on tbe Demo cratic ticket for Governor and State House Officers has been for years in fluential in tbe councils of tbe party, and a prominent official in tbe admin istrative or legislative department of the sta;e. Tbe nominees .'or tbe Leg islature and county officers are men of recognized worth; many of whom have been prominent in party councils in their respective localities. If the party has been dishonest in its methods, corrupt in its practices, and inefficient in its management of tbe affairs of tbe state, these men are to blame, and deserve defeat in the approaching election. On the other hand, if the party has proven itself y honest and capable, every candidate it has put forward should be elected. I assert and am prepared to maintain the proposition, that tbe Democratic party has honestly and faithfully discharged its obligations, and that by reason thereof it is worthy to succeed in the approaching election. In regard to the question of state tax rate which is receiving so much attention from the press at this time, Governor Atkinson said: COMPARE GEORGIA WITH OTHER STATES. No human government is ideal or perfect; but permit me to compare Georgia with other states in the mat ter of taxation. Excluding educational and pension appropriations from all the states, and confining ths estimate to the expenses for all other purposes, and, in estimat ing Georgia’s, including the raising of the one hundred thousand sinking fund, what would be the comparative tax rate? Based on Georgia’s taxable property and appropriations in 1898, tbe comparison would be as follows : Texas2o cents on SIOO Louisiana47j •' “ 100 Kentucky3s « “ 100 Tennesseeßo “ “ 100 Alabamass “ “ 100 Virginia3o “ “100 West Virginia2s “ “ 100 Arkansas22J “ " 100 South Carolina4o “ " 100 Florida 87| “ “ 100 North Car01ina........J81J “ “ 100 Kansas4o “ “ 100 Georgia 5-6 " - 100 or cents on the thousand dollars. Can any state io tbe Union surpass this showing? If so I congratulate it. If tbe Populists endeaver to hold out the hope of lower taxes on present tax values, you can never realiza that hope unless they reduce the appropri ations for schools or pensions, or both. In addition to being proper expendi tures for the slate, it is pleasing to note that the total of these sums, amounting to two thirds of the spate's revenue is sent back to the counties and put in circulation among the peo ple. Tbe Democratic party will never strike a blow at either of these, and common honesty requires me to tell you so. In tbe expenditures for tbe maintenance of the ordinary depart ment ®l government and the support of our public institutions, if it be possible to make any reduction at all, it will be so small an amount that in making the levy it cannot effect the tax rate. HOW TO REDUCE THS TAX RATS. There is away other than by taxing inheritance in which the tax rate can be materially reduced, and I have re* peatedly urged the General Assembly to adopt it, but to no avail. In 1892 tax values were fixed, not by tbe tax payer who hat a direct in terest in omitting to give in property or placing tbe lowest possible value upon it, and thus burdening bis neighbor with a part of tbe taxes which be should pay. bnt fixed by a Board of disinterested Tax Assessors; the tax values increased from $444,- 000,000 in 1891 to $468,000,000 in 1892. This act was repealed in the fall of 1892. The next year there was a decrease of $11,000,000 in return of - property and dow after a con stant decline it is $54,000,000 less than in 1892 when valued by tax assessors. If so much good was accomplished in pne year, with tbe experience of this effort tax values ere now would have been equalized and largely increased, and vast amounts of property, real and personal, which now escapes tax-' ation would be bearing its share of the common burden. When laws are enacted devising tbe means to place all taxable property on the tax-books at a fair valuation, tbe assessed value of the property in tbe state will largely increase, the tax rate will be lowered and all citizens will pay their just share of the bur dens of state government—no more and no less. I commend this sugges tion to honest men of all parties. It is not the purpose of your corres pondent to give a synopsis of tbe speech, which would fill several col umns, and we quote only bis utter ances on tbe question of taxation. In bis speech tbe Governor touched upon all questions of public interest, and bandied them in a masterly manner. It was tbs effort of his life, and tbe ovation be received at its conulusion was a compliment even to our chief executive.
