TILLMAN ON
ROOSEVELT
"THIS FIERY AND VEHEMENT
CRITIC"
" Overthrew Ridiculously t h c
Grand Youn/J Man o? In
diana" (Beveridge)
Herc is the opinion ol' son c
northern papers on Senator Till
man's recent speech.
The Washington Post says:
"Benjamin Ryan Tillman, sena
tor from South Carolina, in a
speech in the senate yesterday,
made thc nv st bitter attack on thc
pr?sident that has yet fallen from
tho lips of this fiery and vehement
critic of thc administration and its
party policies. There was no
mincing of words, although he
proceeded with caution, reading
tho greater portion of his address
from prepared manuscript. The
senator commanded careful atton

who soschathingly arraigned Pres,

ours for honest dea
lion until ho concluded, for
whether senators agree with him
or not, Mr. Tillman is an enter
taining speaker, and always is as
sured of an audience, both in thc
galleries and on thc Moor.
"The South Carolina senator
easily demonstrated that he was
tho best drawing card of thc body.
"Thc announcement that ho!
would speak lilied the galleries to
the limit ol' their capacity long be
fore thc hour for thc convening ot'
the senate arrived, and through thc
afternoon great crowds waited in
thc halls ami corridors in a fruit
less effort to obtain places that
never were vacated. Tho near
advent of spring caused a largo
proportion of thc women, who
formed the major part of thc gall
cry audience, to weat shirt waists
and summer gowns, which, with
bright bits of ribbon and gay hats,
prcscutcd a pretty picture."
Tho Now York Sun says: "Tho
Hon Benjamin R. Tillman enjoyed
himself to tho top of his bent yes
terday, overthrow ridiculously thc
grand young man cf Indiana, who
rushed in to defend the statesmen
to whose counoils he contributes
so much wisdom, and gave tho
scnato the guilty joy of hearing
tho universal bess prodded and
jecrod. There is no adoquato
punishment for Mr. Tillman, a
scorner of dignitaries and a throw
er of stones at thc shrines of the
gods. A catch as catch can con
test of amenities between him and
?the gifted controversialist whom
j he fell upon yesterday would be
thc only fair test of their respect
ive abilities as analyzers of charac
ter and hurlers of lire."

Tho statement shows that there
has been an increase of nearly
$3000 notwithstanding tho fact
that tho dispensary fund was 82,
454.75 more last year than this.
There has boon an increase of
$536 in tho poll tax.
Mr. Eastorling believes that tho
dog tax should bo much moro than
it is. Tho tax this yoar would in
dicate that there are only 1102
dogs in tho county, but thoro aro
probably three or four times that
many.
In Parnassus district the returns
have been showing only 18 or 20
j dogs. Light Townsend recently
! made a canvass of that district,
j however, and found 83 dogs. Tho
same rate of increase in other dis
tricts would make about 5000
dogs in tho county, which would
yield a tux of $2500 for the schools.
It is a well known fact that
many people, especially negroes,
claim that all the dogs "belong to
the children," and do not return
them at all.
