THE Chicago Post is an amusing cuss"
of paper Hear it The Democracy are
very much in the position of the cannibal,
Ami Robinson, of whom Barnum made
mention in his book on humbugs. After a
long debauch, he walked up one day in great
wonderment as to his exact locaicy, and
inquired of the bystanders, Ami am |, or
am | not Ami?' That is the question. Are
they themselves, or some other party? In
Ohio, Iowa and Pennsylvania, where the
new departure has been recognized by con
ventions, full a third of the voters are rub
bing their eyes in utter bo~ildernment Is
it the old Democratic camp, or have they
gone estray? After twelve continuous years
of denunciation, it is quite the thing to own
up point blank, and indorse the opposite
side ? The Chinese puzzle is nothing com
pared with such delimma. If they hold
on to the old party post they will freeze, and
if they let go they are sure to fall into the
ditch. Most of them agree to eat the new
party owl, but it is perfectly apparent they
do not banker after it.

JUDGE STRONG has decided that the in

JUDGE STRONG has decided that the in
come tax is Constitutional His opinion,
which was delivered in the United States
Circuit Court, Philadelphia, Friday morn
ing, is brief and direct. He says:
IF it be true, as has been argued, that
the income tax is 'captation or other dI-
rect tax, within the meaning of the Con
stitution, it is undoubtedly prohibited by
the first and ninth sections of the first arti
Gle, for it is not 'apportioned among the
States. But | am not of opinion that 1t Is
'capitation or other direct tax in the sense
in which the trainers of the Constitution,
and the people of the States who adopted
it, understood such taxes. The reasons for
my opinion it would answer no good purpose
for me TO state at length inaSmuch as these
cases will doubtless go to the Supreme Court
for ultimate decision 1t is sufficient for
me now to state that in my Judgment Con
gress has a constitutional right to impose all
the taxes of which the plaintiffs com plain,
and that none of them are such as must nee
essarily be apportioned. With the policy
of such an imposition | have, as judge,
nothing to do ="

we intend that our advocacy OF our principles and
our candidates shall not be the less vigorous or
ardent because of it. We shall let il 90, believing

The Democratic pie, baked by their State
Convention, is a marvel in these latter days
It reminds US of one of ''Mothcr Goose S
nursery rhymes, which Ia little changed
rus thus:
Sing a song quite Meekly,
With bottle full of rye;
-Four and twenty Cops,
Baked in pie
hen the pie opened
The Cops began to sing;
Back down, Brother Meek,
For Darkey L our King.

The Tariff The Two Conventions.

1t will be enough for the Democracy to
convince the colored voters that they admit
their right to vote during the present cam
paign, and we are strongly of the opinion
that it will prove too much for the New De-
parturists. But, says the Telegraph, not
withstanding the troubles with which the
Copperheads are surrounded, we are forced
to add TO their complicated difficulties.
There is one point touched in both the
Democratic and the Republican platforms
which is of signal Importance to the voters,
white and black, of ennsylyania, upon
which nothing has as yet been written. But
its overshadowing importance demands its
exhaustive discussion We place in paral-
lei columns the Tariff resolutions of the
Republican convention and the resolution
assailing the Thrift passed by the Democrat
ic convention. and ask the attention of our
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1871-06-28

THE famine in Persia must be truly terri
bic. Men, women and children are dying
by the tens of thousands from starvation,
and to such great extremities for food are
the poor people driven that they are actu-
ally consuming each other, and even robbing
graves of their CHASTITY contents to sustain
life. The charitable world should make all
haste 10 relieve their wants, and eontribu-
tions of food should flow in from ali quar-
ters of the globe The famine arises from
the very general failure of the crops through
the long continued drouth Of last year.
