''He the young and strong who cherished
Noble longings for the strife

Weary with the march of Life"


Noble longings for the strife
By the roadside fell and persisted
Weary with the march of Life
The death of Jesse Shoemaker, elsewhere
noticed is an occasion for the expression of
more than ordinary sorrow and sympathy
sympathy for the father and mother, who
will so sadly miss him from the home he
loved. sorrow for the untimely close OF life
so brief and so full of promise. He was in
his twentieth year. Never, surely, was there
a young person who better deserved to live
long and happy life. He had, in great
measure, the wisdom of age, the grave dis
erection of manhood, joined with vigor.
cheerfulness and affection of youth. Highly
esteemed by his associates, modest in de-
meanor, capable in affairs, faithful in every
trust, the loss of such son, infinitely severe
at any time, is rendered more so by the par
ticular conjuncture at which it occurred. He
bad Just arrived at the age when, as he most
eagerly wished to do, he could render assist
ance to his father in the business OF an active
and stirring career. He had only opened the
door, taken glance at the threnged high.
way of human existence TO meet Death at
the entrance. during long Ill
ness, in which he must have
pondered upon the pride OF manhood just
begun-must have hoped much and often
for recovery-he had shown himself patient,
calm, courageous, grateful, even to the last,
for every attention. These rare qualities
could not rescue him from the grasp of the De-
stroyer-the remembrance of them but adds
to the poignancy of grief for so great be-
reavement, which time only can assuage.
Let us be well assured that Providence has
not ordained such an affection without
recompense; without some kindly purpose.
Whom the gods love die young. If they
miss life's triumphs, they escape also its
troubles, misfortunes and calamities.
Though he lived not long, he lived long
enough to leave such record behind him of
bright thoughts, clear deeds, filial work and
worship, that no tears shall be shed for him
except those Of fondest regret and sorrow,
that a day so fair should finish in the
dawning.

THE manifesto of the Count Of Paris has
produced profound sensation in the French
Capital that is alarming the Government.
1t is the first decided stand taken by royalty
in twenty-five years, and has stirred up all
the conservative memories of the French
people. 1t seems at this distance as if the
French Government has changed potential
possibility into an energetic fact, and that its
first reverse will prove its grave. The French
may resolve that they have the form of Re-
publican institutions, but they can not dis
pose of the institutions themselves, which
are autocratic and military in their essence
ingrained through centuries of habit, until
it is second nature. The natural environ
ment that has made Republic IN America
is wanting in France, and all French expe-
rience has shown it could not create new

OBITUARY..
JESSE T. SHOEMAKER


Jesse T. Shoemaker was born at Rome,
Ind, February 20. 1866, and was therefore
twenty years and four months old at his
death, which occurred yesterday Sunday
morning at ten minutes after O'Clock. He
was educated at st. Meinrad's College and
the Classical Institute of this city. For two
years past he has been in delicate health, but
which was not so pronounced as TO excite
alarm. A few months since, however, his
constitution began TO develop Bright's dis
ease, that for six weeks previous to his
death confined him to his bed, where little
by little his strength was sapped until it was
evident that his recovery was hopeless. Yet
he showed signs of rallying until Sunday
morning, when the disease took its final
turn downward to death.
He was young man whose habits, educa-
ton and capacity foreshadowed a perfect
manhood and an able and useful life. With
gentle, retiring disposition, he had singu-
lar capacity for making friends of all his as
sociates. Cut down as he was, Just az life
was in the blossom, the fruit it would have
developed can only be judged from its prom
Use. The parents upon whom, in their de-
Ginning years, the loss comes as the with
drawing OF pillar have our earnest sym
pathy, in which the many friends of the
family and the deceased will participate, in
heartfelt sorrow.

SOLDIERS who entered the war when it be-
gun, who did not go for a bounty and who
served on insufficient pay, and who suffered
through years, should be pensioned when
ever it can be proven they have received in
jury; but to tax people who bankrupted
themselves in raising bounties for men who
served but a few months or not at all, and
upon such frivolous claims as the President
has recently vetoed, is double outrage.
The President just now is exposing shame

with gratitude by every honest soldier and
honest pension claimant, who are being
dragged into disgrace by the thieveries the
bounty jumpers are attempting.

THE MORRISON INCOME TAX BILL.

THE MORRISON INCOME TAX BILL.
Mr.. Morrison's bill to levy an income tax
to meet the continually growing demands
upon the National Treasury, especially in
the great amounts involved in the number
of pension bills and claims now before Con-
gress and the Treasury, is one towards which
the country has been rapidly tending from
the reckless extravagaHce in the manage
ment of its resources. Indirect taxation
from imports of foreign merchandise is
yearly and rapidly lessening in results, as the
trade has been restricted, and in many cases
entirely destroyed, by the operation of the
tariff impositioAs. The enormous sums an
nually expended by Congress must be raised
in some way, and as we have exhausted the
sources of indirect taxation, and as the
people would under no circumstances per-
init the imposition OF stamp tax on neces-
Stiles the only resource IS to tax incomes
and however unpleasant this alternative
may appear to the wealthier classes, who
thus far have so largely escaped taxation, to
this II must finally come.
Soldiers have argued, and to our mind
with justice, that in the dispensation of the
property OF the nation, as in grants TO rail-
roads, the management OF currency, the
powers invested in National Banks, and the
unfair, undemocratic disposition OF national
funds, themselves and the masses OF the peo-
pie have been unfairly dealt with. This
feeling has penetrated TO every class engaged

FOR the eleven months Of the current fiscal
year, ending with May, the receipts of the
Government were eight millions more than
for last year, and the expenditures were
twenty-four millions less, a net gain to the
Treasury Of thirty-two millions. The total
excess OF income for this full year over

an excess Of only forty-eight millions last
year. Partisan prejudice may wrestle with
