A NEW PHASE OF THE TAX
ISSUE.

On the supposltlon that tht
Republican Tax bill will bt
seriously pressed in the Sen
ate, the most prominent topic
in the canvass will assume Z
new aspect, if the Republican.
can effect that result.
1t is in order to deceive the
people as to their true posi-.
tion regarding the revision ol
the Revenue laws that they
have ventured to place their
Legislative doings in direct op.
position to the record made
officially by the Republican
party at the Chicago Conven-
ton.
The Chicago platform de
clares against revision exccp,
for the purpose of checking
imports. 1t would make pre-
vention of foreign commerce
the keynote of the Customs
laws of the United States. 1t
rcverscs, as all the world
knows. the practice of the
Government and the teachings
Of our public men during the
whole of the history of the
country. What was hereto
fore done as a necessity of
war, under pledge of being
undone when the blessings of
peace were again spread over
the land. was to be erected
into a rule Of action to govern
the entire polity of the people.
1t was upon this issue that
Harrison was nominated. But
it is not upon this issue that
the Senate substitute for the
Mills bill is framed. The
views Of the Northwest against
unnecessary, unjust taxation,
the cry of the farmers whose
incomes have been decreasing
while their mortgages grew,
have forced the Republican
Senate to a pretense of desire
to occupy part of the ground
the Democrats firmly hold
The bill is the result of this
dishonest compromise in a
measure Of expediency. 1t is
governed by no principle and
can be justified by no scienti-
hc observation OF the conse-
quences of revenue legislation
in the past.
The partial exemption of
distilled spirits from taxation
would be ruinous to internal
revenue. There is no stand
ard set up by which it could
be determined whether taxa
BILE goods were to be used for
drinking or manufacturing
purposes. The expense OF the
inland revenue establishment
would be kept up, while its re
ceipts would be cut down to
so small a percentage Of pres
ent income that nowhere in
the world would there be any
system of collection SO out
rageously extravagant.
Instead Of remodeling the
free list intclligently, with the
idea Of helping our industries,
the schedule OF articles exempt
from tax is dealt with simply
in a system of partiality to
favored special interests so as
to prevent Indignation and
promote campaign collections.
From beginning to end, so far
as can be judged from what
the Republican senatorial Co
tcrie permits the country to
know. the measure is simply a
hypocritical effort to confuse
an issue and deceive a people
too thoroughly instructed re-
garding the relations of taxa
ton to individual prosperity
to be led astray.-N y Star.

HlNDoo. REASONING.
A Pampel ed Sacred Cow Is Degraded
from Her High Estate.


from Her High Estate.
When, during 1860-'65, I had house
in Bombay, we had a petty broker,
Hindoo. His name was Hurrichand
Mahuda. This young Hindoo was an
intelligent fellow, and having made
little money, concluded to get married.
He came to the Office one morning and
announced his happy change. At the
same time, Hindoo-like, he intimated
that a wedding present would be ac-
ceptable, and as he did not expect val
liable gifts, he begged that the Office
would present his young wife (whose
name, by the way, was Hira, or Dia-
mond Eyes) with money enough to
buy her a little pet sacred cow-to
worship, of course. The Office pre-
seuted him with the money, and Hur-
richand bought the little animal, and
Hira gave the little COW the best place
in her bungalo outside Bombay or Sal
settle. Poor Hira paid her devotions
to the cow and fed her with bananas,
mangoes and other delicacies.
4 Now, these devotions to the sacred
COW are not so disinterested as one
would suppose. The cow must give
something in return, not milk or
cream, but other gifts. In Hira's case
it was only a laudable desire to make
her husband, Hurrichand, happy
.ssahib father COT a male child with
in year. Upon the faith of this,
Hiira, as I said, fed her little pet
sacred COW on all the delicacies, and
reminded her morning, noon and night
that she must not fail to crafty her
wishes. However, as Hira had some
fears that there might be disappoint-
ment, she. gave the pet sacred cow
good talking to as a sauce to the man
goes and bananas, and even warned
her of the consequences that might
follow Indifference to her prayers.
Well, after a year there was one morn
ing a great ado in my Office. The
news had reached the Parsees, Sepoys.
Hindoos, ETC., whom we employed
that Hira had whipped the sacred
COW.
.Sahib, said the Sepoy, who was
the office-sWeeper, to me, .Hira whip
ped the sacred cow. She is no longer
a goddess now; she is again cow
real COW, like other COWS.
The petty broker Hurrichand, how
ever, defended his wife bravely. He
pointed out gravely and forcibly to me
that sacred COW which is daily fed
with bananas and mangoes, and IS
twice or three times day regularly
worshipped, must be able to perform
some miracles; and if after a patient
trial she is found to be either impoten,
or unwilling to make returns, she must
be degraded and become once more q
real cow, and feed on hay, grass, veg
etable peelings, and drink muddy wa.
ter. ''She had plenty Warming sale
Hurrichand, .Hira told her the las,
six months that she will whip her witt
tho bamboo stick. Now she has got it.
and I'll sell her, and she will be killed
and eaten by the Christians, and hel
hide will make boots and shoes.n-N

The Trustees of Hospitals will Ask the
Legislature for That Amount.
At the meeting of the trustees Of the
Minnesota hospitals for the insane, held
in Rochester recently, the needs Of the
hospitals at Rochester, st. Peter and
Fergus Falls were considered. It was
estimated that one and a quarter million
dollars would be necessary for current ex-
Penses and proposed additional buildings
during the next two years. That sum will
be asked for at the next session of the
Legislature. It was decided to renew the
recommendation for repairing the central
portion of the hospital in Rochester by q
fre-proof structure. Eight thousand dol
lars will be asked for to purchase the Gill
bert Smith farm ad joining the hospital
The yearly increase in the number of pa
