A story that may be True In any
TOWN.

As our Lady of Spangles was passing, in
her carriage, home from the bali At sunrise
Wednesday morning, the 500 gew.aw On
her glitierIng garb flashing in the early
rays Of the rising orb Of day, policeman
entered tenement house on East Forty
sixth street, New York. Our lady saw him
and wondered ii anybody il. the wide world
felt as miserable rs she; and when her
llounces and furbelows and Jewels and laces
had been laid aside, she flung herself upon
her silken couch, and tried 10 sleep, but
could not for thinking Of what she had
seen. Could my lady have locked inside
the tenement house the policeman entered
as she drove past, she would have seen a
dirt begrimed room, into which,
through shattered panes, the winter
wind swept with biting breath, tireless
stove three broken chairs, dirty straw
mattress on the floor, and an empty pine
cupboard, with only 4 lew crusts the rats
could not devour. Crouched in corner,
three starving, crying, almost naked child
ren, the eldest but SIX years old; on the
mattress lay the mother, dead; beside her,
his hand upon her breast, the husband and
father, In drunken stupor fro0which the
voices of the children fail to Arouse him.
\ neighbor, by chance, sees the situation
the police come, the mother is buried at the
city's expense and the children are handed
over the Commissioners OF Charities. The
wretched man is prosecuted Tor cruelty
to children and gets six months in
the penitentiary. \ little willie ago,
Morris Murphy was hard working,
temperate man with good situation. The
contraction that was found necessary TO
bring about specie payments cut down his
employers business, and Morris was turned
ont OF his place. Since then his course has
been downward lie will come out of pris-
on a wiser man with hopes OF being better
one. Should this meet the eye OF our Lady
of Spangles, let her sell all she hath and
give to those three little children OF Morris
Murphy, because they were more miserable
than she on the morning Of her greatest
misery after she had supped full on pleas
ure. Ii John Sherman should read this,
let him do what he can to restore Morris
Murphy's situation TO him; Tor in so doing
be will restore many thousands OF others to
their means OF livelihood, and the country
TO its old status of prosperity. Let him

Who are the NOrkin.men
Sacramento Cnion.l

A few davs ago, we published thought
ful and forcIbly written letter from work
ingman Of this city, in which the question
placed at the he d OY this article was con-
sidered. II is one which really appears to
demand some special consideration Just
now, for there is a tendency 10 set up an
arbitrary and wholly unwarranted defini-
ton of the term, and the implications of
such proceeding are likelyto be mischiev-
Gus. 1t there Is any meaning in the En-
glish language, and any significance in fact,
it is certainly wrong to assume that the
term "wOrkingmen' covers only those
who earn their living by manual labor
For this is nation Of workingmen, pre-
eminently and hard work is the
rule Of life here rather than the
exception. Brain labor is neither the
least exhausting nor the least influential in
the worlds progress, vet under the current
definition OF the workingman the brain
worker is excluded Manual labor il no
doubt the lot OF the majority, and it Is
honorable, but TO assert that it alone Is en-
titled TO be regarded as real work il un-
reasonable, and can only lead to confusion,
and, what l. worse, To the erection OF high
ly objectionable and altogether un-
american class divisions. The idea that
manual labor Is the only kind deserving
consideration Is evidently based upon ac-
sumptions quite foreign TO the spirit Of re-
publican institutions. That spirit is one Of
equality OF energy, and of progress. Ii
recognizes no class distinctions, no best or
worst in the rank Of labor, but puts all hon.
est industry upon the same level, and hon
ors simply the American citizen, be his Oc-
cupatiOn what it may. Every man who
earns his own living has an equal right TO
call himself workingman, and those who
live by manual labor have no right to at
tempt a monopoly OF the term, the more
especially since the establishment OF such a
monopoly cannot be effected without the
intlietion OF injury and unjust aspersion
upon all other cla--es OF workers

Ihe Mayo Mystery,


The Mayo mystery grows deeper and
darker every day, as the many efforts OF
his friends prove fruitless. The search
which followed the receipt Of the anony-
nous letter has proved unsuccessful, and
the numerous ponds and Cahokia creek,
which h-ve been thoroughly dragged, have
failed TO reveal any signs Of the missing
man. East St Louis has been nearly
abandoned by the searchers as place to
reveal the presence OF Judge Mayo either
living or dead, and other points resorted to
for the purpose OF obtaining clue in the
case. In conversation with Mr.. Lewis
Mayo, a son of the Judge, last evening, he
said that the case seemed very mysterious
at present, and that nothing could be done
except make plans to continue the search
systematically and quietly.
The case of Marshall, the alleged de
faulting cashier Of the Olney bank, will
come up in the United States court at

That Vote in thc House ON the Pro-
posed Income Tax.

Mondays vote in the House on the sus-
pension OF the rules TO pass a resolution ill.,
structing the ways and means committee to
report bill taxing incomes, was very
significant proceeding. The object OF the
movers OF this resolution is to tax large in
comes-to make the rich pay taxes directly
as the poor are made To pay indirectly I;
and ss a just and equitable proceeding
there can be no plausible objection To
it, II a man makes $4,000 a year, he
can afford to pay for the privilege and pro-
lection involved in it, independent Of an
incidental tax or license, which must be
paid by those who lose as also those who
realize an income short OF the taxable
amount. There Is no possible injustice in
an income tax. 1t il gratifying To note the
fact that the entire Mi.sOur delegation
voted for the motion, which, though falling
short OF the number required to take the
matter up al once, indicated n plurality of
sixteen votes over > majority of the iull
House. II the opponents do not go TO work
deliberately and Systematically TO bush
whack the bill when it shall be introduced,
it will no doubt go promptly through both
houses and become a law.

An Old Mans Darling.

A Washington interviewer has been i'm
pertinently iIIquiring into the case OF Mrs.
Mary +. Oliver and Simon Cameron. He
went directly to Mrs. Oliver, and saw and
copied several of :. C's letters To "AlY
Dearest Mary" and printed them Ac-
cording TO one OF these letters, :. C. sends

mentions the prospect OF the writer
of going abroad. He conjures her,

Widow Oliver wrote the following gushing

THE MOST RIGHTEOUS TAX.

Opposition TO the restoration OF the in-
come tax goes hand in hand with the oppo-
sition TO the restoration Of silver 10 lis
proper place. While Il few advocates of
silver do not favor the income tax, the gold
organs oppose it to man. But 1T is a
righteous proposition, it is fit companion
TO the silver bill, it is one OF the peoples
measures, and it ought TO be passed. Moth
ing could be more unholy and unjust than
the present policy Of our government which
taxes the labor of the country at
every turn, and allows capital, in
great measure, TO go Tree.
The man who makes the money is the man
who should pay the taxes. The money OF
the country should pay the expenses OF the
government. The people have TO do the
fighting, and capital should do the paving.
The talk about an income tax being tax
upon mans energy, or upon his earnings,
is all moonshine; it is proposed to exempt
salaries up to two thousand dollars, and
very few men in any part OF the country
''earn" much more than this; thousands, OF
course, receive vastly more, but IT is
learned" by money, or by the labor OF 9TH
er men, and the income tax proposition is
simply propositson to make man pay tax
on that portion of his income which he
receives without earning. At present, a
man may be worth millions, and if he keeps
his money in government bonds he doesn't
have TO pay 4 cent TO the goyernment-na-
tional, state or local-except such as the
day laborer pays, indirectly, through the
tariff on what he eats and wears. But the
mechanic, who saves enough from his scan-
ty earnings to build little home, though
il may not he worth five hundred dollars,
is obliged TO pay state tax, county tax, city
tax, school tax, road tax, bond tax, rail-
road tax, and every other tax, general or
special, which it may be necessary TO levy.
This Is one of the inequalities OF life
that ought 10 be levellei up, and
tie income tax is the measure with
which TO do it. lie believe that the man
who makes his living by clipping coupons.
should bear his share of the public burden
Just as much as the man who makes a liv-
ing by following the plow, or working at
the bench, and this is what the income tax
law proposes to do. 1t proposes to do
away with special privileges for favored
few, and make all men pay in proportion
to what they receive. 1t is the most right
eous tax that could be levied, and the peo-
pie will rejoice to learn that by vote in
Congress, few days ago, it is shown that
there is nearly two-th!rds majority in the
House in favor OF it.

ANEW MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

1t has been generally supposed that
Maine had reduced the prohibitory business
to an exact science, and was thoroughly
satisfied with her efforts in this direction.
But such is not the case. A bill for new
liquor law drawn up by Gen. Neal Dow,
the veteran temperance apostle, has just
been introduced in the Legislature, which
is vastly more stringent in its provisions
than any previous enactment of the kind.
1t provides that the sales of liquor shall be
punished by fine of 500 and six months
imprisonment al hard labor for the first Of
fense, and a years imprisonment foi the
second offense. No liquor is to be brought
into the State, even for the use Of private
persons, and those having liquor on their
premises are bound TO establish ownership
Apparatus for selling liquor is to be deemed
evidence of guilt, and If a team is found
drawing liquor the horses and vehicle are to
be confiscated. Common drunkaids are to be
sent to Jail for a year, but released upon the
conviction of the party or parties who sold
them liquor. Drummers for liquor houses
are to lie fined 81 600 and imprisoned for a
year, and officers obtaining convictions are
to be paid premiums.

STRATEGY.

The war indemnity of Sl00,000,OOO
which Russia proposes to levy upon Turkey
is nothing more than a ruse through which
TO get possession of territory. She is to
hold certain territory until this sum is paid,
and as the amount is much greater than
sthe bankrupt empire can pay, Russia will
doubtless get the land, which is Just what
she wanted from the first In either case the
integrity OF the Turkish Empire, guaranteed
by the treaty of Paris in 1856, is lost, but it is
a little less direct violation to take territory
for an unpaid debt than to seize it out and
out. The occupation of Armenian cities is
a little more aggressive, but Russia will
probably have her own way. If her ag.
gressions in the field could not be checked,
it is not likely that she will be talked out Of
her acquisition at a conference. Such a
gathering will be very like locking the sta
bic door after the horse is stolen. Ii the
