The carpet bagger, Gen. Denver, the
Democratic candidate for Congress III this
District, claims to be citizen of Clinton
county, yet, strange 10 say, he did not get
a single vote in the Congressional Conven-
ton that nominated him, from the dele
gates of Clinton county. The delegates
from that county were too saUage at his
presumption, to vote for a carpet bagger.

THE NATURALIzATloN BILL
The United States House of Re
presentatives concurrcd in the
Senate amendment to the Natu
ralization bill, and it now only
requires the signature the Pre-.
sident to become a law. AL
though it does not transfer the
pow 'r Of naturalization from the
State to the Federal Courts, i,
gives the latter the power to ap-
point what is virtually a Fedora
police, called special agents, who
are to attend every election for
United States officers, these
agents are to be appointed in all
cities exceeding twenty thousand
Inhabitants. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the bill was passed
with special reference to New

The Senate of the United Sta
tcs, by a tie vote, refused to aban-
don the income tax, but chose
rather to dispense with the tax on
gross receipts. Let us see how
this policy results in the case OF
Commodore Vanderbilt, the
great railroad monopolist of New
York. The Commodore's income
was returned for last year at
$4,000, upon which he pays 5
per cent, or $4,000. He is the
owner of. a majority Of the stock
of the New York Central Rail-
road, of which lie is the Presi-
dent. The gross receipts O.; the
road for the past year were eigh-
teen millions of dollars. Upon
this sum the comany paid q per
cent. tax, which is $450,000.
Supposilg the Commodore to be
the owner OF one half the stock OF
the road, his share Of the tax

dollar Of which would 60 into
the Treasury; whereas the $4,000
which he pays as income tax is
more than half absorbed by ex-
penses of collection. The result
to the Treasury is that it loses
1925, 900 Of revenue, all ofwhich
it would realize, and retains
$4,000. half of which would go in
to the pockets of the officials.
This is the way that the Senate of
the United States proposes to re-
lieve the people of the burdens
of taxation, but it looks very
much like relieving corpora
tions.

The Washington Star says that
"Shoo Fly" has got into the Sc
nate. Recently, Mr.. Hamlin, in
the course Of his speach on the
income tax question, paused to
interrogate Mr.. Morrill, in re-
gard to what he construed to be
a vigorous expression of dissent
by that gentleman 20 his PROPOSE
ton that it was necessary to re.
place the income tax by tax o.,
sugar. Mr.. Morrill, intimated
that it was a mistake. that he
had not dissented. But" sale
Mr.. Hamlin, 'you shook you1

explained that he had shaken MI
head to get fly off, and th'
matter ended with p ripple o.

The times seem to, be out of
joint so far as meteorology is con-
cerned. In North and East York
skire, England, the weather has
been hot and dry, the mercury
having frequently attained 100
Fahrenheit, AMI the pasture lands
ard meadows are like brown pa
per in appearance. The rain fall
has been thus far fifty per cent
under the average. In France.
observes the Journal OEciel, the
atmospheric conditions have been
greatly varied in different dis
tricts. The departments of Vau-
c!use, L'Herault, and Var, which
up to the mouth Of June had not
had a single shower Of rain for
several months, have since been
favored with an over-abundant
rainfall, and the same favor
able alteration has obstained
throughout Italy. On the plains
of Dauphiny the prematurely RI
pened rye has been already
mown, and the corn crop has
been ruined by drought. Pro-
badly no season for thirty years
has presented materials so abuu-
dant for the study Of meteorolo-
gical irregularities. Possibly the
author of Impending Doom"
may not have a head so full Of
grass-hoppers as has generally
been supposed.
