ENGLISH PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Extraordinary Receipts and Expendi-
lures of Our British Brethren.

The usefulness and activity of the AS
ISOLATED Press, that is of a union of news
papers to gather and disseminate news,
are not limited to the organization in this
country. English newspapers also have
their association" and the recent report
of the fifteenth annual meeting of one of the
companies organized for news purposes,
gives a flattering account of its condition.
1t has / ,122 shares. owned by 1S9 news
papers and it has 131 subscribing news
papers and 81 clubs and news rooms not
shareholders. The revenue for 1882 was
nearly $500, 900, a gain of over $40, 900 for
the year, while the expenditures, in
creasing about the same amount, were
whiting a few thousand dollars of the in
come. The profit was about 10 per cent.
on the capital of nearly $4,000. A very
handsome reserve fund, about $4,000, is
safely invested, and this is to be increased
every year that the profits will justify it..
There are at least four distinct classes
of news in England-Reuter's Telegraph
Company for foreign news, the par
liamentary reports, sporting news,
a characteristic English speciality. and
general items. Reuters Company
receive $50, 900 for its share, the post
office, which has monopoly of transmit
ting kilograms, got $150,000 and cores
pOndents $40, 900. The war in Egypt and
the novelty of an autumn session of Par
lament were the two great events of the
year, which added largely to the business
of the association. With it's growing
prosperity, the company has established
an insurance and endowment fund for its
employees, thus adding another induce
ment to good service. The directors of
the company represent the leading pro-
vincial newspapers, Manchester, Birm..
ingham, Newcastle, York, Dublin, Dom
caster, Bristol, Stamford and Leeds thus
receiving recognition. The work of the
association shows how thoroughly news
paper organization is understood in Eng

JOSEPH e. MCDONALD.
Some Facts of Interest in the Public Re
cord of the indiana Statesman.


To most people Mr.. Mcdonald is known
hardly outside of his six years of Senate
rial life, which came to him as one of the
results of Democratic success in 1874.
Prior to that he had local celebrity and a
popularity which makes him known
throughout Indiana. among the older
men as $40" Mcdonald, and as
'Uncle Jo'' among the younger.
His six feet figure, Inclining now bit
to stOutness, the big feet and hands,
his large head, covered with brown hair
fast turning to gray, his reddish face,
smoothly shaver, except for heavy NOUS
tache, and his gruff, hearty voice and
handshake, make up a personality which
is known in every hamlet in that State.
Indiana is prOverbially a land of pOliti-
clans, but none of them have succeeded
in gaining the confidence of the masses
more than he. The Mcdonald family
settled in Ohio soon after the revolution.
1t is now widely spread through that and
the neighboring States, clinging still
to those stern Scotch Presbyterian
ideas which have always been
cherished by that clan. Mr.. Mcdonald
was born not quite siXty-four years ago
in Butler county, Ohio, and was taken to
Indiana in childhood. When hut boy
the death of his father left the family poor,
and he was apprenticed to saddler at
LAFAYETTE. He served three years in that
capacity, studying at all opportunities.
Then he attended two years at the Asbury
University, left before graduation in order
to study law, and in 1913 was finally adj
mitted to the bar.
His course up to that time had awaken
ed the interest of his neighbOrs, and that
very year he was elected by the Demo-
Gratis prosecuting attorney for the Craw-
louisville circuit. His practice had
grown so large that he declined in
1S47 to serve longer, but the next year
was elected to Congress in an over
whelmingly Wing district. Two years
later he was beaten, but in 1856 he was
taken up by his party and elected At
tOrney General of the State. In 1860 the
Republicans made clean sweep, which
cost him this place, but not until he
had won position at the bar which has
never since been lost. During the war he
was a consistent Union man, and did
much against the various secret organi-
cations which were formed by Indiana
Democrats in aid of the rebels. This gave
him in 1864 the nomination for Governor
against Oliver z. Morton, followed by
inevitable defeat. From that time he
kept aloOf from politics for some years,
but was active in opposing the Green
back heresy, and in 1910 he was the
unanimous choice of his party for Sena-
tor. In the Senate he served on the Judi
ciary Committee, of which he was the
second member when his term closed,
and in other positions for which his legal
knowledge was required. Some excel
lent speeches are credited to him, and he
earned general reputation for economy
and careful legislation, which will stand
him in good stead If ever brought forward
for national office. In 1881 he gave way
to Senator Harrison, and since then he
has held no office.

distribution of surplus Revenue.

The Pennsylvania Republicans in de-
handing that the surplus revenue be dis
tributed among the States have raised an
issue that may exert powerful influence
in politics. Their aim is to maintain the
peculiar system of taxation which has
been in operation for the past two de-
cades. The prOtectionists know that re-
form is demanded. The burdens of the
people are unnecessarily oppressive and
must be lightened. A surplus IN the
Treasury over and above the just needs oil
the government is an eloquent argument
with the masses for reform.
The beneficiaries of the tariff are willing
that the internal taxes shall be abolished,
for when these were removed they would
cry .sbands of the tariff" The people,
however. although the internal taxes were
rarely sanctioned only by the eXigencies
Of war. would prefer that they continue
TO be collected. while the war debt re-
mains unpaid, and a reform on import
duties effected. Measuring the drift Of
public sentiment the pTOtectiOnists now
propose that the internal taxes be collect
ed as at present, the tariff remain as 1t Is,
and the surplus revenue be turned
over 10 the several states
for the discharge of local obligations.
Should their proposal be accepted the
barons Will be protected as at present,
the Federal treasury will be amply sup
piled. and the burdens of the people Will
apparently be lightened.
The Pennsylvania Republicans have
caught the idea and embodied it as a
plank in their platform. The protection
lists have nOthOng to lose and much to
gain by propagating this doctrine, and
it remains TO be seen how it
will he viewed by the public at
large. The trick is so transparent,
however, that it must be exposed. The
internal taxes can be levied and collected
until the Federal debt is eXtinguished.
The tariff, however, can be modified with
benefit 10 the consumers and even to the
protected classes themselves. Reform in
taxation should begin with the tariff, and
every step taken in the direction Of lower
import duties is "a step towards the con-
stitutional system, tariff for revenue
irrespective of protection.
