THE INCOME BUSINESS.

Judge James ?. Sinnott effectu-
ally disposes Of the income charges
made by the New York Times.
The morning papers OF Thursday
contained the full statement.
Judge Sinnott was the managing
clerk of Samuel J. Tilden during
the year that the tax is in Ques-
ton, and proves that every aIIega-
ton made by the Times was false.
The Times, in reply, admits that
the most important charges ale
without foundation, and as to the
minol ones, they aIIege that proof
will be forthcoming. These
charges have been before the pub
lie for some time, and the Times
has had ample opportunity to OBJ
tain, and doubtless has made every
attempt to get the proof which the
editor now promises.
The newspaper has been proven
a liar, and no rational person can
consistently believe it again. Mr.
TiIden deserves great credit for

From the Baltimore Gazette
The Republican Party and the
Soldiers.
To THE EDITOR :

| 10 The EDITOR:
In your editorial comments on
the services thus fir rendered by
the House of Representatives, you
have omitted reference to some
important Legislation by that
branch of Congress. The House,
several months since, passed bill
extending the time to 1880 for
filing claims for additional bounty.
The House passed the bill relative
to pensions Of 1912, allowing PEN
sion for ten days service and to
widows, of the soldiers of that war
where marriage occurred prior to
1850. The House pension COM
mittee has unanimously reported
bill allowing all pensioners of
the last war to receive pay from
date of discharge or from death,
in the case of widows, which is
eminently just.
What has the Senate done in
reference to these matters? Alb
solutely nothing!
The soldiers Of the last war have
had resolutions passed time and
again, and republican conventions
are annually spreading on their
lather by attempting by words to
glorily the soldier. Does it pay ?
No. They begin to understand
that the aristoCratic elements rep
resented by the republican party
in Congress are not in sympathy
with their interests, and unwilling
to concede their rights, and it will
be made manifest in the coming
election.
Soldiers, take note of these facts,
Ex-SoLDlER.

A Word to the Worhfnglnen

This campaign is yours. It is
for your families, and your action
at the polls in November will give
evidence of the fact whether or
not you care more for your wives
and children than for mere party.
What is your situation now? If
you have employment, does the
nero pittance you receive for your
hard labor suffice to furnish you
with the necessaries of life {? Are
you able TO. raise enough at the
end of every month to pay yoar
rent without depriving your chill
dren OF bread?
Now is the time for action. Let
your voices be raised for change :;
let your votes be cast for change.
Reform is the watchword, and to
effect a reform a change in admin
istration is the first step. Your
condition can. not be made any
worse under the guidance of Uncle
Sammy Tilden than it is to-day,
and you have the assurance of his
tory that q change of rulers after
a panic always restored confidence
and brought good times in its
train.
Can you longer hesitate ? Look
at your fellow men, in great num-
bers, q charged every day. Look
Mt Altoona where the Penn'a r
r. Co. has been compelled to dis
charge over fifteen hundred men
within the past two weeks, and the
end is not yet. A hard winter is
aud if the demand
for a change is not ratified at the
polls, woe betide the sufferer.
During the past three years you
have hardly made money enough
to keep soul and body together,
and if Hayes is elected it will be
but continuance of the present
administration, present hard times,
and thieves in office.
Laboring men, give this matter
your attention ! Wives of laboring
men, enlist in the fight persuade
your husbands to cast one vote for
you aud your children. Give them
10 understand that they have voted

since the existence of the elem Mt itself,
seems likely to be extended to fire. in the

Of a Swedish officer, Captain Ahl>trom,
and whick has come Triumphant out Of
every trial. proving ultimately success
full. At a recent experiment in Silesis,
four heaps consisting of logs Of wood,
were arranged in the form of square
well COW red with shavlngs and saturated
with petroleum. They were then set

Il mes. Into this fiery furnace, the glow
ing heat OF which kept the spectators at
a respectful distance. stepped Captain
Ahlstrom. clad in his fire proof dress.
He moved freely about in the restricted
space-some four feet square, formed by
the heaps, leaning from time to time
quite unconcernedly against the blazing
piles, taking his scat upon one of the
heaps. g'owing with intense heat, he II
clined there with as much nOnchalance
as though It haC been q sofa. He remain.
ed thirty minutes in the flames without
suffering IN the smallest degree from the
heat. Next day an experiment was made
in HohenZolltn nine. with the view of
seeing whether the apparatus would avail
in the event OF an explosion Of firr-damp
or any analogous accident. The priDci-
pal of the gymnasium, who volunteered
to test it personally, descended into
space which had been shut off from the
rest of the mine aud filIed with gas, ard
there for twenty minute with
out experiencing the slightest isconvrn-
ience from the poisonous atmosphere.
Captain A lstrom has sold his invention
TO Prussia for 80. 600 marks.

Aliens and Mining Property.

Judge Cole, of one of the district courts
Of the State of Nevada, has rendered a
very important decision recently. one es-
pec'ally important to aliens. He held.
in eff ct, that under the laws of Congress,
no alien person can acquire any title to
mining ground in State or territory il
the United States until euch ground shall
have b, en- patented to an American cit
izen. That, as a consequence, where q
contract has been entered into between a
citizen Of the United States and an alien.
by which the latter is to secure through
the former pat the agreement cannot
be enforced, as it is manifest evasion OF
the law. The proper department at
Washington, about the same time, render
I'd decision in which ii Is held that The
portion of a mining claim sold to an alien
cannot be patented while such owner re-
IN ,lns an alien. But the ruling is quail
fled by a supplement, that when the alien
files his declaration OF intention to becume
a citizen, his right to hold the mining
property. with its privileges, dates back
to his putchsst, and he may thereupon
secure the United States patent for the
cl I'M.

McCurdy testified very clear and posi-

or five wounded men and women, lying
helpless in the wagon that witness was

slaughter. Wltn"ss rove the lead team
and testified that q soon as Lee fired the
first shot, prec ded by the word Halt, !"
the Indians rushed out of their ambush,
apparently on all sides, surrounding the
emlgrants completely, and the work of
destruction only lasted few minutes;
That from his best judgment there were
not 10 exceed twenty-five white men on
the ground. who had been deceived as TO
what was wanted of them there; and
knight testifi.s that not more than one
third of this number took part in the n as
sacre, and ii cAn be proven that several,
even OF these, bhed no blood, firing In the

with bows an arrows, but mostly with
guns. a, d soon completed the destruction.

Too Much Scripture.

The building committee of church recent
ly finished IL N. Jersey wanted stone
slab over the t0or. with the name of the
church ard y Scriptural motto. 1t occur
red to chem that nothing could b. better
than MY house shall be called house Of
prayer So one OF the committc-men n,
who was in great hurry. told the stone
cutter to chistl the thirteenth verse Of
the twenty first chapter OF Matthew. He
thought the verse ended with the word b..
wanted to use. The stor ecutt-r took the
whole verse from the Bible and faithfully
copied 1t to the end. Imagine the horror
Of the Committeeman when the stone was
delivered. 1t rean: My house shall be
called a house of prayer. but ye have
made 1t den of thieves.'' The stone
cutter insisted that he had obeyed orders.
But the committeeman insisted that the
motto lie had inscribed was not wanted.
and that it would be Of no particular use
to them. That slab is now in The stone
cutters yard. and anybody who wants it
for a tombstone can probably buy it
cheap.
