The N. Y. Tribune published the income re-
turns for that City, and also list of poor men,
who had no income. This latter list included
many of the wealthiest men In the city, such as
Fernando Wood, John Morrisey &c. After some
days, the Tribune had the following;
Dispatches from Wash ington-both from our
own correspondent and those printed in other
journals-more than confirm all that we h ave
heretofre said concerning the happy effects re-
sulting from THE TRIBUNE's exposure of the
manner in which the income tax is collected.
The Internal Revenue Department claims to
have received lready over one hundred thousand
dollars, directly due to THE TRIBUNE's influence,
and it is in daily receipt of letters giving infor-
nation concerning dellnquents not yet brought
to account. Among remoter results of our ex-
pOsure Is the order for re assessment in Wash
ington and the notification to the Revenue Off
GERS of an intention to demand strict collection
of the sums assessed. Altogether the Treasury
is many thousands of dollars the richer, officials
are in many ways the wiser, and the people
themselves are both better in formed and stimu-
lated to their duty, In consequence oil our re-
markable exhibits.
Some time ago we published the income re-
turns in jackson county, and it was strange
| showing. Here are men who must spend from
one to two thousand dollars per year to support
their fa miles, and they build houses, carry on a
large business, and yet have little or no income.
The fact is, and it is a sad fact, that thousands
of men all over the country swinde the Govern
ment and honest taxpayers, by willful and cor
| rupt perjury.

l have already referred to the Difficult
ty in procuring books and newspapers
when | was a boy. If any one in the
neighborhood got book, it was loan
ed all over the country. My crippled
brother had book giving an a account
Of the expedition Of Capt. Lewis and
Capt. Clark, from ST. Louis to the Pa
cifc Ocean. 1t was in the form OF a
daily journal. 1t was written by Pat
rick Gass, member of the expedition
We always called it "The Journal" !
think that my uncle, Nathaniel Kim
berlin, who was soldier under Gen.
Harrison, in the war of 1919, gave it to
my brother. l have often wondered if
the old "Journal' could now be had, or
whether it is out of print. This copy
was loaned until it was literally worn
out. 1t would be Of peculiar int2rest
now, that the railroad to the Pacific
has just been opened.
The expedition of Lewis and Clark
was undertaken by Thomas JeffersonS
administration Itleft st. Louis think
on the l4th of May, 1904, aud consisted
of about forty men. They went in
canoes. In August, 1906, they return
ed. Only one man died. That was
Sergeant Floyd, who died of choic on
the Missouri, the first summer. The
expedition only reached the Maudan
Villages the first summer, and there
wintered. The next summer they
crossed the Rocky Mountains, and de-
scended the Columbia river to the Pa
cifc, where they wintered, and return
ed in the summer of 1906.
1t may be that it was because l was
a boy, and books were so scarce; but |
yet believe that the "Journal" was the
most intensely interesting book that l
ever read in my life.

BY THE EDITOR.

My relations with the great body Of my read
ers, have uniformly been pleasant and agreeable.
There is an idea, however which is prevalent
among politicians, that the country paper is
in tended especially for their use and benefit
They expect that the county paper shou ID
elevate them to Office worth perhaps thousands
of dollars. and when the proprietor humbly ex-
poets some little return which costs the officer
nothing then the poor devil is called selfish.
Why, it is his business to labor for the party,
aud is not Mr.. Politician--Mr Officer, the par tyr
But enough of this.

never was paying concern. 1t almost always
left those who took hold of 1t, in worse con-
dition than before their connection with It,
This was not caused in whole by mismanage-
ment, as it was the rule, and not the exception.
1t served pretty much all in the same way. And
even now, when the newspaper business is con-
sidered much more profitable than formerly, it
is not, generally, paying business 1t might
be supposed that the papers in the adjoining
counties were In fourishing condition. have
exam ined the income returns for the surround

Vinton, no newspaper publisher returns any
income. Even those papers which get all the
public printing, in such large counties as Ross
and scioto, do not make 81 900 per year. And
yet, if half dozen politicians become dssats-
fled with the course of their paper, they will talk
of starting another paper, and never yet saw
one Of these men whe did not think that he was

plenty of money to lose, let them try 1t.

More Sunday Amusements ON the
HeBOttOm,"

The last number of the Chillicothe Register
contains the following:
JIM WILLIAMS AND SON TAKE "LUNcH"-IT
COSTS THEM So.
Last Sabbath afternoon the pavement in front
of the Reg steF Office was much glorifled in con-
sequence Of a rencontre between Jim Williams
& Son, BARRIERS, and Mr.. Lunch Simmons, car
penter.
Mr.. Simmons, it seems, had dove-ta lied sever
al glasses of red eye with several horns of Jer-
sey lightning and, as q consequence, became
rather tight In this condition he came up to
Mr.. Williams, jr., who was sitting down, and
commenced abusing him, using language not
easily borne in silence; whereupon Mr.. Williams,
jr., retaliated that is, he planted his fist In Sim
mons face. Mr.. Williams, sr, then came to
the rescue, and planted his fist in the same place.
and Mr.. s. went to grass-or rather to pavement
when he received kick or so from Williams,
jr.; all of which caused the blood to flow quite
freely.
Simmons was fined s5 for drunkenness and
Williams and son $3.50 each for indulging In
such queer kind of Lunch.
The same number of the Register gives On ac-
count of regular prize fight in the city, but for
wonder it did not take place on Sunday.

The County Convention.

We were compelled to go to press
last week Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the convention, and had no
time to speak of the convention, or the
candidates.
This was the fullest, and most inAu-
entia convention ever held in this coun-
ty Every townshipin the county was
represented. The proceedings through
out were harmonious, and tho ticket
nominated gives universal satisfaction,
We do not intend to speak of each can
didate, as they are well known and re-
liable men, The selection of two
Welhsmen from the south part Of the
county was a most judicious move, and
gives the Democracy much trouble,
That party has tried several times to
bait its timber pin hook with a Welsh
man but tho Welsh were too shrewd
to bite at such n bait, and continued to
vote the Republican ticket. Our party
does not propose to treat the Welsh
like the Democratic party treats the
Irish. The Irish nearly all vote the
Democratic ticket yet who ever heard
of an Irishman getting an Office from
that partyi
In order to nominate two Welshmen,
other good men had to fail to receive
the nomination but we believe the un-
successful candidates see the propriety
of the course pursued by the conven-
ton.
We can elect this ticket by several
hundred majority, as entire harmony
prevails in the party, and every Re-.
publican is full Of confidence, aud will
work with energy for the victory.

The Chinese Problem.

Why Is 1t that mankind Will never learn any,
thing from past experienced The cause ofall the
troubles In this country has been class leglsla-
tion--one set of laws for one race Of people, and
another for different race
The people of China are coming to this country
by the ten thousand, There are In China per-
haps ten times as many people rs there are In
this country, There may be, In a few years,
millions of these people among US, Now the
talk Is even by good men, what are we to do
with them They are set upon, kicked, abused
and despolled as soon they land. Christian
Churches send missionaries to China, to convert
that people TO Christianity. DIR, MNclay ard
Others, have been there for many years, at great
expense The Chinese are heathsns--pagans,
COnluclus Is their Christ. lie, many years be-
fore Jesus appeared in Bethlehem, promulgated
the Golden Rule In China. Senator Casserly, a
Democrat OF California, says that the Demo
cratic party must resist the Chinese, because
they are honctt, frugal, industrious and ecO-
nomlcOl. But stil, we Christians (l) feel
that we are much superior to these heathens.
just so. The Pharlsee, when he stood at the
Temp le and prayed, felt the same way when he
looked AT the Publican.
But enough. If VIC want to convert the CHI
nese let us not act q thousand times worse than
heathon nations. Let there be no law applying
to the Chinese THAT does not apply 10 all other
nations and races That Is the only true policy.

A short time ago the Portsmouth Times pub
lished some figures showing that the taxable
property of scioto county had fallen off in one
year nearly one million dollars, and with aOu-
rish proclaimed that this was caused by the
radicals and bondholders. This article was
copied into most of the copperhead papers in
this part Of the State, and 1t was thought that
this was nice thing to gull the simple. The
Tribune has looked into the matter and
it says that the Times lett off nearly million
of dollars, and that the property in the county
has increased nearly sixty thousand dollars. The
Times now has to admit that it published false
statement, but 1t squirms and tries to get out of
1t as easily as possible. Now we will see wheth-
er the papers that have copied these lying fig
ures will make the correction.

JACKSON, July ~ 1867.
EDITOR JACKSON STANDARD,
You will say to my friends that Twill not be a
candidate for State Senator before the conyen-
tlon which will meet in Portsmouth on the Sd of
August My private and professional business
is of such a nature ms to occupy my entire
time, and would prevent me from giving the
time, aid aud energy which the campaign will
necessarily require.
To accept the nomination Is to accept the labor
of the campaign with IT, Justice to the party
demands that the candidates be active, and give
their time and energy in efforts to secure sue
cess Self interest also demands the same.
My friends will accept my sincere thanks for
their confidence in me, as expressed in the
county convention.

WHAT is TO BE LEGAL Duty Under the
new code of civil procedure, adopted by the late
Legislature, which is to go into action on and
after the 9TH of August next, power is given to
and 1t is made the duty of every sheriff, deputy
sheriff, constable marshal or deputy marshal,
watchman or police officer, to arrest and detain
any persons found violating any law of this State
or any legal ordinance of any city or incorpor
ated village, until legal warrant can be obtain
ed. And any person, not an officer may With
out warrant arrest any person If petit larceny
or felony has been committed, and there has
been reasonable ground to believe the person
arrested guilty Of such offense and may detan
him until legal warrant can be obtained. There
is also provis ion that, If person charged with
crime removes into another county warrant
may be issued in that county to remove him to
the place where the crime was committed.
We find the above in the Portsmouth Times
The editor, who was member of the Legisla-
ture, talks like that body had been enacting
something new. The editor is not a lawyer, and
does not know what the law is. Such Legislators
are poorly prepared to enact laws, frequently
putting the people TO great expense in enacting
laws which have been on the Statute books for
years.
By reference to Swan & Critchfeld's Statutes,
fOl' q, PaBe 1oSi, IL Will Oe seen InaC Inls mas
been the duty of Sheriffs since June /, 1924
long before the editor of the Times was born.
By the act OF March 4, 1858. Swan g. Critchfeld,
vol l, page sO4, Sec. 1877, the duty of the Con-
stable is the same as under the new law, &c. By
the act Of May g. 1852, Swan g. Critchfield, vol.
2, page 161O Sec. 50, Marshals are required to
perform the same duties. And so on.
The whole of the above act, as set forth by the
Times, has been in full force in this stateI for
many years. But then these wisacres got five
d ollars per day for doing what had been done
long ago.
