one of the most lurid and startling
tragedies reported in long time is that
of New York broker who was found
dead in the back yard OF another broker
with whose wife he had had long series
of business relations in dealing in stocks
We omit any suspicion further than the
ghastly story of woman given over TO
wine and stock gambling, which brought
a elimination most horrible, TO teach a
lesson to forbeaI from bad company.
1t is well enough for men of the world
fitted to the necessary combais OF bust

but when women enter the field where
excitement is so strong, the consequences
are apt to be as they are at Monaco,
where women gamble with cards and sui

exciting to the general public, and the
three or four scenes already played indi'
cate the plot, thar is the motive of the

excited unusual admiration, and the wei

Such pleasant and brilliant exchanges
of courtesy impress on the people the
logical and beneficial results of perfect
reconciliation of the sections. The Blues
appear well in offering the military cOur'

having maintained its high reputation
through more than one war.

In 1860 we had debt Of x84 100000,
and Federal tax for the support OF The
Government amounted to s5S 10000
All Of This TAX WAS levied on imports.
This year our tax revenue is about
$372. 100000
A look at the figures discloses three
important facts: First, Our system of
revenue has been totally changed tenn
porarily TO suit the requirments of the
war period
Second, That our war system has been
retained twenty years after the war
closed
Third, The population is just about
twice what it was in 1850, but the taxes
are three times us much head
Note supplement TO these facts
Twenty years after the war closed Oui
customs taxes were 8S,000,000 more than
in 1886 but our internal taxes were 1872,
600 900 up Considering that We have a
surplus revenue of 10000, 900, why are
these taxes continued That is really
the issue in the Presidential contest.

TWO STATE CONVENTIONS.

The proximity Of the dates OF meet'hs
of the Democratic and Republican con-
vcntions. one the 10Th inst and The ofher
the 10th, will prevent any influence oi
the one on the other. The Democrats
will doubtless bear In mind that their
duty is merely 10 choose delegates to the
| National Presidential Convention, and
after that II the political effervesenee can
be popped off in the air with speeches
and nla,form constructed of generali-
lies IL will be all that Is necessary to
place the party Of the State in line WIN
the National party for the National con
test We do not know what Congress VIII
do about the tariff and any action decd
edlv nositiye one way or the other would
undoubtedly illustrate the trite expression
of putting our foot in it.
The local questions have but h''ie 10
do with national contest, as lar AZ con
yen,ions are concerned. As to the can
vass we can use local issues a. much as
we choose then, but the forming OF an
army for n battle is different from the
manner of fighting it. Therefore let the
delegates 60 to the Virginia Convention
loaded as lightly as possible, and so load
cd ss not to scatter.
As TO the Republican Convention al
Petersburg we look TO see the usual
circus as the prologue to the show The
circumambent air will be doubtless dark
with fur and epithcts and howls VIII
make music. But at the end there VIII
be harmony, because in harmony is the
only life, and If Mahonc's supremacy IL
forced, then his opponents will recog
nize that he is still the personal power
that can command by virtue of his con-
troll over The majority Of his party.
If the anti-Mahone wing of the party
show much more disrespect for him than
sauabble about organization, then
they will have less sense than we give
them credit for Besides all this, they
have some reasons TO believe that with
united party they might defeat the
Democracy. unless the latter makes a
straight issue when the canvass begins.
They might paralyze part Of the Demo-
cratic party by fight for protection I'M
less the Democrats forced the fight for
tariff reform.
, 1t is happy thought on the part OF the
Democrats in State as well as national
politics this year not to wait for their op-
moments, but to take the field first.

NO Mans Land" is large tract of
territory adjoining the Indian Territory.
II is described as very good country in
respect OF natural products and a para
disc for that class of citizens in the far
West who feel restrained by the stringent
requirements of law and civilization, and
like license and mean whisky, with the
privileges of revolver and bowie knife.
The only inhabitants who find it hard
and still remain are the revenue officers,
who are coolly informed when they
apply for taxes that without representa-.
ton there can be no taxation" The dis
tiller makes the liquor untaxed, and no
man dare call it "moonshne' under
penalties OF the rifle almost as deadly as
the whisky The main point that draws
attention to it Is the smuggling of free
whisky 10y large quantities into Kansas.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

The STATE calls attention TO the fact mat
"among the many iniquitous taxes laid on
the people by the tariff there Is none
more useless or oppressive than the tax on
Tin Mate. The Mills bill provides for the
total removal Of this tax, which is now
! cent per pound" That Is one OF The
Dos, features in the tariff bill, and will
cause every citizen 10 see by the dark Ian
fern" as the Republicans call Democratic
policy, that one of the proposed reforms
ia 10 take the tax off an article that is i'll
general use from the making of loof
10 tin cup and the hundreds of articles
that every family use TO greater or
smaller degree.
The Just and only practical plan to be
gin the great task Of reducing the war
taxes is to start with reductions on such
articles as are in general use and natur-
ally entitled to immunity from tax, be
cause they are necessary articles OF life
and mol TO be classed with Injuries.
If the Democratic majority in the
House does moi hasten to seize this pfin
chile they will involve the party in de-
Law that at such time might be extreme
ly dangerous, if not fatal
Ii ought TO be remembered that the
people are better informed now than they
were few years ago, and tina, they have
a distinct and plain idea fitted to the com
prehension Of the wayiaring man to the
effect that war taxes in time of peace arc
wrong when it makes people pay third
or half more than they should for
clothing and tin cups and plates
The discussion on the sections OF the
Mills bill NAV be extended a month be
yond the Democratic convention, and
we would be forced to 60 before the
country with virtual failure to do any
thing after public expectation had been
wound up 10y repeated and violated
promises.
When the Republican speakers come
totalk on protection they will md the
people better informed, and even the
laboreI employed by protectionist con
Germs and mOnOpolists will see that II
raw materials are imported, free labor
will have double the opportunities as
now, because 1t will work for the whole
world instead of the protected home
market.

Railroad companies are Mt great expense
