REVIVAL OF A BAD scHEsrE.


The mantle of the late and unlamented
VIM. r. Morrison has apparently fallen on
the shoulders of John D. Stewart, of Georgia,
who left the office of Probate Judge at the
outbreak of the war to support the rebellion
as Captain in the 18th Ga.
Last week Mr.. Stewart revived Mr.. MOrri-
sons scheme by the introduction Of bill to
impose an income tax, the proceeds of which
were to be applied to the payment of pen
sions.
It provides that all individuals corpora
tons and estates in the United States re-
ceiving an annual net income of $1,000 and
upward shall be assessed as follows, the
money to be collected by the Collectors of
Internal Revenue and to be paid into the
public Treasury: $4,000 up to $4,000, 2 per
cent. Of said income; $4,000 to $4,000, 3
per cent; $4,000 to $4,000, 4 per cent;
$4,000 to $4,000, per cent; $4,000 to
100000, 6 per cent; 100000 to 100000, 8
per cent; all over $4,000 10 per cent.
Whatever veterans may think of income
taxation as general thing, they are all de-
cidedly antagonistic to a proposition of this
nature, which makes the payment of PEN
sions connected with or dependent upon the
imposition of new tax, which is sure to be
strenuOusly resisted, not only by the class
directly affected, but by all who are clamor-
ing for a reduction of taxation.
The whole movement is dishonest and
demagogic, Mr.. Stewart and those who
support the bill are not honest in their de-
sire to see such legislation enacted, for they
are the ones who are clamoring most loudly
about the surplus and "the dangers of
Withdrawing SO much money from the pro-
ductive interests of the country"
He brings it forward now simply to alarm
the moneyed people of the country, and ar
ray them as class against the veterans as a
class and create opposition to pension legis-
| lation.
If Mr.; Stewart really desires to tax in
comes, let him bring in his measure uncom-
plicated with any side-issues, so that it will
stand on its own merits. Or let him pro-
vide that the proceeds be devoted to educat-
ing the millions of illiterate men and women
in the South, which he and such as he wick
edly keep in dense ignorance.
The present revenues of the United States
are ample to pay all the just demands of the
soldiers, as well as to provide for all the
other needs of the Government, and still
have something over. Therefore it is dis
honest and demagogic to talk of additional
taxation.

THE ARREARS BILL.

The Arrears Bill cannot be passed too soon.
The National honor has suffered grievously
by the failure to pass it long ago. There
was never any excuse for defrauding the
most deserving of the Nations creditors of
their just dues, and every day that payment
has been delayed or refused has intensified
the wrong.
Surprising that the contractors, the mule
sellers, the shoddy manufacturers, the
money-lenders, had been kept out of their
money as long as the soldiers have, what a
howl would have gone up about public dis
honesty" and the sullied National honor"
Congress, by passing the bill at once, will
not only do an act demanded by simple
honesty and justice, but viii do the most
good that it is possible to do for the CONNER
cial and industrial interests. The money
paid out will be rapidly and thoroughly dis
tributed among the entire people. 1t will
go directly to the places where it will have
the best effect, and every vein and artery OF
business will pulse more BEAUTIFULLY under
its influence.

How many men were killed on the Union
side at Gettysburg?" asked middle-aged
business man of the Editor of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE last week.
The accepted figures are 1884 killed,
1900 wounded and 6,643 missing, a large
proportion of whom were killed or badly
wounded, and most of the remainder died in
Andersonville and other rebel prisons. The
actual loss of life on the Union side in con-
sequence of the battle was probably 5000 or
5000"
GOOD heavens!" he said; 81 never
dreamed there was such a slaughter"
"Why, you were grown man at the
time" we reminded him, "and you must
have read the reports"
al did, I did" he answered; but some
how they did not impress me that there was
such an awful destruction of life. OF course,
I knew that great many men had been
killed, but never comprehended that there
was such horrible massacre as that. Why,
that's more men than have been killed in
all the terrible railroad disasters, and ship
wrecks, and mine explosions, and SO on, that
have Mortified Us since the war"

who are 10 years Of age and over can't read.
Fifty per cent of the people of Alabama who

In Alabama there are 60, ia white men and

In Alabama there 43s. AL people over 10 years

Undoubtedly the other States south of the
Potomac and the Ohio are equally badly off
as regards education.
The above are the strongest possible rea-
sons why the Blair Educational Bill should
be passed without delay.
The existence of such a vast mass of igno-
rance is grave National danger. 1t was
this lack Of common education which made
it possible for few bold and INSCRIPTIONS
leaders in each State to plunge the great
body of the people into wicked and mex
cusable rebellion. It is this which allows
those leaders to still hold them solid against
everything that looks like progress.
Since the States viii not educate their
citizens the Nation must. Widespread ig-
noEance is a distinct menace to our institu-
tions, and must be abolished.

The New York Herald. which has been
thick-and-thin supporter of Mr.. Cleveland
since the day he took his seat, now makes
this unkind thrust at him:
There is no use to deny it or beat about the bush
there is singulariy little grief among the Demo-
Gratis at their defeat. Some Southern men are irri-
tated aud anxious about the possible Republican
Southern policy. The Kentuckians who persuad-
ed the President to force the tariff ISSUE are
noyed at turning out such poor lot OF politicians
to have great party mired by their bad advice
when without their laundering it was of sue
cess, but the greater part of the Northern Demo-
Gratis and many Southern men are certainly not in
mourning.
Whether it is that the Democratic party is not
good enough for Mr. Cleveland, or that Mr.. Cleve-
land is good for the party in either it is
fact that majority of the Democratic Representa-
tives and Senators appear to be glad 10 get rid of
him and most of his Cabinet, even at the cost of

OF our services soon became hsekneyed and stale.
Kind souls, when we offered small wares at their

THERE are some new factors that will
enter into the campaign of 1892 which peo-
pie generally are not calculating upon. The
first is that four new States will be carved
out of the Northwest, which will add 13 or
IA votes to the Electoral College The next
is that the reapportionment which will be
made after the census of 1890 will in all
probability not add any electoral votes to
the South, which, with the exception Of
Texas, has increased very little in popula-
ton, will take some from New England and
and the older States in the East, probably
reduce the votes from the Southern seaboard
States and add from 30 to 40 to the growing
States in the great interior. This will ac-
cordingly shift from 30 to so votes from the
older sections of the country to the newer,
and fix the seat of power permanently there.
This being so, the South may be solid, and
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey
may be doubtful as much as they please-the
President can be elected and the country
governed without them.

THERE is a little furry over the dispatch

the Administration was going to give US a
little taste of "a vigorous foreign policy !"
before it retires from power. It's course
toward the disorderly little Black Republic
meets general approval. Our people will
be pleased if the Administration goes so far
as to take actual possession of Port-au-
Prince and perhaps other places, and holds
them for an indefinite period in the interest
of public peace. Sooner or later we viii
have to assume some form of protectorate

they are very important in advancing our

props of Englands foreign trade is the splen-
did Consular system, the organization and
personnel of which have always received the

hand, our Consular system has always been

it is rather wonderful that it is as effective as
it is.

duty in heroic way that deserves great
