And glares up at the stovepipe JOINT I.

Sharp pains unnumbered shoot.

ABOLIsHING THE INTERNAL REV
ESUE.

ABOLlSElNG THE INTERNAL REV =
ESUE.
A few days ago we suggested that the
best way to prevent the accumulation of a
vast SURPLUS in the United States Treasury,
would be the abolition of the Internal Rev
enue tax. That great Southern journal,
the Atlanta Consolidation, falls in strongly
with this idea, and says:
f'The revenues from this war tax have
increased more than 81, 900, 600 during the
past fiscal year, though the receipts,
owing to the removal of the tax on
matches, patent medicines, bank deposits,
checks, etc, are less than those of any
previous year. II is estimated by the
Commissioner that the revenue for the
present year will reach 1900, 900,
or about s., OOO, 600 more than that of the
wear ending June 30, 1856. OF. this
large amount of taxes SIS, 5000 comes
from tobacco. This $2s, OOO, 600, however,
does not represent the drain on the

1T DEFENDS UPON WHOSE PROP
FRTI IT l..

ERI1 III -.
The proposed Cooperating Packing
and Provision Company in Chicago Is
about to be set down ~ a failure. The
Socialists have resolved That we unheSi-
tatingly declare that this cooperation
schemr is impracticahlc and is doomed TO
certain failure" and they urgently re-
quest all persons who have signed shares
To withhold payment OF any assessment
This is truly IN unexpected turn affairs
have taken, and will deprive the public OF
IN experiment that WAS expected to give
valuable information ON the labor prob
lem. Cooperation has not been tried to
any extent by the wage workers of this
country, and it is only by experiment that
its practicability can he known.
The action of the Socialists is ! surprise.
They have been claiming all along that
the packing houses were not run
right, the profits were not properly dis
tributed, and that they would do
things very differently were they taking
part in the control ofthoSe establishments.
Now when they have chance to run an
establishment according to their own
ideas, they rise mp at the moment when
the scheme is 10 be begun and refuse to
contribute to it's support, saying that it is
'impractiCable.
What is the matter? Are the Socialists
afraid to practice what they preach when
it comes to investing thSir own property?
II seems that way. It is a good deal like
Bob IngerSoll's support of Henry George
in his impracticable land theories. Inger-
sOllowns many thousand acres in the south
west, yet we're it to come to contiscating
it and giving it out to whoever came
along, Robert would be very loud in say
ing that it WAS utterly 'impracticable. "
1t depends altogether upon whose prop
erty is under consideration. The Social
lists are very willing to conduct other peo-
piles business according to their theories,
but not their own.

What Brother Greeley Would Do
with the Great SurpIus

with the Great Surplus.
Mr.. Greeley hFs written a letter to
Geo. NJ. Robin, which is published in
the TitUsN lie star. from which we take
the following extract. Ii will be seen
that Brother Greeley is not going to fail
if promises viii aid him to WIN. He
might have boiled down his platform to
that of the " old flag and large appropri-
ations." He tickles Palatka with the
idea of public building. 1t is a good
idea. He says:
AZ Republican candidate l can an
swer generally, that / am in favor of a
protective tariff, not in the sense Of
merely protecting the manufacturer, but
the wage-ea ~ner also.
/ am in favor of a tariff on everything
which can bs brought into competition
with our own productions, whether pro
duced from the ground or by mauufac-
turing.
1 am decidedly in favor of internal i'm
provements.
1 would try 10 get public buildings at
Jacksonville, Eel nandina, st. Aug Justine
and Palatka.
prove the bars at st. Augustine, Smyrna,
Jupiter or Indian River inlets, as the en-
gineer might advise.
l would also try 10 have Indian River
inlets improved as the engineer might
advise.
l would also tn to have Indian and
Halifax rivers buoyed, as commerce is
now requiring il.
There are places in Indian River and
tributaries, as well as the st. Johns,
which need dredging.
In my opinion, the surplus in the
United States treasury could he used to
advantage in this old, Helc state. At
least fair proportion of it.

The Council Moving.

The question of sewers for this city
was brought before the Council at its
last meeting, by Alderman Forward.
The Council faYors it, and will take the
necessary action for preliminary work
at once. The citizens of Palatka are
also favorable, and will ratify any rea-
sonable, practical plan that the Council
may bring forward.
The first thing to be done is to have
the city surveyed, the grades fixed and
plated. When this is completed, then
an estimate of the cost of constr ucting
system of sewers should be made. 4
good sanitary engineer should he con-
suited. 1t would be a mistake 10 so on
unadvissd on the subject.
After the cost has been aScertained,
the people will be willing to vote on the
question of bonding the city for enough,
or part enough, to build ths sewers. The
city must build, own and operate the
sewers. 1t will not do to leave the work
to private enterprise.
After the town is plated and the
grades established, if the cost of drain
ing the entire town is found too great
for the present, a portion eff the system
might be constructed, and the balance
completed from time to time as the he
cessities of the situation requires.
There need be no such expense in con-
structing sewer system as has been Of
ten suggested, provided fair degree of
business ability is exercised. The city
should place the business in the hands
of Sanitary Commission TO perform
This commission could buy pipe and lay
it down as well as to let the work by
contract. If no jobbery is practiced the
cost would be a trifle compared with the
benefits that will follow.
The city could pay the principal por-
ton OF the cost and the abutting prop
erty the balance. There is no question
of law about the matter The city can
bond for sewers to any extent. To what
extent the abutring property can be
taxed we are not advised.
If the city council will authorize a
survey and plating to be performed, an
estimate Of cost for sewers can be made
without delay. This is necessary at the
outset, that the people may know the ex-
tent of cost. Ii not too great they will
cheerfuliy vote TO bond the city.
But this survey is very important

Two PostInnsters

1t is strange that the application of the
same principle in politics should produce
a Democratic postmaster in Boston and
a Republican postmaster in New York.
The new postmaster in Boston, Gen.
Corse, has been appointed to succeed Mr..
Tobey, Republican. The appointment
of Gen. Corse is regarded with unquali
fed satisfaction by the Democrats. 1t
is regarded as a timely recognition of
the Massachusetts, Democracy" SAYS
Congressman Lowering, and doubtless it
must have been with view of crafty
ing that sentiment that Mr.. Tobey, a
gentleman who, as the Herald says,
- will take into private life that respect
and esteem which have sustained him
in his official position" and who has been
Jealous for the service of the city, was
succeeded by another man. The mug
wump faction of Mr.. Cleveland's adhe-
rents, having succeeded in nominating
one of themselves as the Democratic can
didate for governor, would not be disposed
TO receive this charge with dangerous
dissent.
On the other hand, in the case of the
New York postoffice, ii was to satisfy the
imperative demands of the mugwumps
that Mr.. Pearson was reappointed. and
the DecOcracy here left in disappoint-
ment.
Both appointments were primarily the
dictates of politics. But there is tbs
difference between the two. While the
appointment of Gen. Corse was made
with view of recognizing the Demo
cratic party, the appointment of Mr..
Pearson was made for the purpose of
recognizing the mugwumps and attach
ing them more firmly to the fortunes of
Mr.. Cleveland. The futility of attempt

matter. IL should be done by thor
oughly competent sanitary engineer.
Whatever is done should be o,t a thor
oughly practical basis, that no trouble
may follow thereafter.
We are glad that the council has deci-
ded to move in this matter. We must
have sewers-the question now is the
plan and cost. The city will stand the
cost if the work be performed by bus
mess men and citizens. a commission
can buy pipe, hire men and lay it down
as well, and better than contractors.
Then the work will be done well and at
the lowest possible cost.

SOUTHERN PASSENGER AGENTS.
A New Pool Contract SiGned-Wintcr
Rates 10 florida Resorts


NEW YORK, October I3.-The General
Managers and General Passenger Agents
OF Southern railroads held an important
meeting to-day at Hotel Brunswick. At
the meeting in August, which was held
at Old Point Comfort, a new pool con-
tract, settling the passenger rates, was
submitted, but was not acted upon. This
contract was approved and signed at
to day : meeting by the General Mana
gers.
This contract forms an association of
all Southern roads, and settles the pas
sengcr rates 70 be charged by the mem
beers of the pool. Each road is to be as
sessed pro rata for money to carry on
the association, according to the mileage
of each road. \ rate committee was
provided for, and is made up of General
Passenger Agents. The duty of this
committee Is TO see that no member of
the association charges less than sched-
ule rates. Any agent found guilty of
this offence will he fined $50, and, if
caught second time, dismissed from the
road by which he is employed. The Pas
senGer Agents Will hold special meet
ing and settle upon the question of rates
to be- charged from all points on the
roads.
Another question of great importance
which IS TO be discussed is the rates to be
charged from large cities in the East, es-
pecially New York, Boston and PhiIa-
delphia, to winter resorts in Florida.
Traffic over roads to points in Florida has
more than doubled during the last two
years. Some of the agents are in favor
of continuing the sale of round trip tick
ers, while Others are disposed to favor a
cheap through rate. The object of this
is TO thy and stop the sale of tickets to
these Z. NITrS hV SralpaIs
