Taxing Incomes.
New Haven Journal and Courier.

New Haven Journal and Courier
Massachusetts has a law which pro-
vides for the taxing of incomes. 1t
authorizes tax upon so much of the in
come from q profession, trade or en-
ployment as exceeds the sum of $4,000
year. A bill is on its way through the
legislature which makes considerable
change in this law. It provides that
there may be deducted from the taxable
income sum equal to the annual in
terest at per cent. upon the assessed
value Of the taxable capital or property
employed in such profession, trade or
employment. The present law does not
tax incomes derived from property sub
ject to taxation, but another amend
ment proposed by the pending bill
also exempts from taxation such part of
ones taxable income as has been in
vested in property subject to taxation in
the state and which remains so invested
on the LIST of May. If the bill shall pass,
as it is probable that it will, q person
who has an income exceeding $1,000 a
year from a profession, trade or employ
ment, may deduct from that part which
is subject to taxation a sum equal to
per cent. upon the capital or property
employed by him, and if, when he gets
his income, he puts 1t into taxable prop
erty, the income will not be taxable.
1t is believed that this change will work
we'll. Under the present law there has
been complaint OF injustice.

The picture of the Easter angel that
forms the frontispiece for the current
number is an exceedingly pretty design.
The angel stands upoL lily branch, and
is dropping with both hands, upon those
below, the beautiful bell-shaped flowers
of purity. An exceedingly apropos pa
per, Cuisines Reliance, - should
commend itself to every woman. An ig-
nOrance of proper business forms Is often
very embarrassing, and no woman can
expect to be exempt from the need of a
proper knowledge. These lessons,
plain and simple, are valuable.
In a different vein are the studies
by an artist of the becoming and the re-

and for reasons financial the milliner is

prohibit the expenditure of 81 for

looked around upon the audience.
That's it, said bald headed man in the
back Of the hall, put it to 'em straight. Bring
these opponents of woman suffrage right to their

You see,'' pursued the lady, ''we are not
without our friends among the stronger sex,
Again 1 ask the question, Is there anything a
man can do that a woman can't do?''
Good. good cried the bald headed man,
enthusiastically, ''she can do more. woman

she waved her hand, you hear what the cham

sis RELIGION a failure?" asks the
Christian Union, to which question we

The people, some of them, who profess
to practice it do not always toe the

ever, a failure, and there never has
been a time when so much was accom-
pllshed in it's name as at present.

Unworthy of the Ballot.
Rusk County News.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE says: "An
exchange suggests that the legislature
should either pass bill making the pay
ment of poll tax condition precedent to
voting or abolish the law. If such a law
should be enacted it would probably be
well to have the poll tax receipt antedate
the election by a period of sufficient
length to leave no ground of suspicion
that it was obtained for election purposes
only
Such a law would do a great deal of
good, as it would force large number of
deadheads in every county in the state to
either pay for the privilege of voting or
be denied the right of suffrage. man
who is too mean and pusilanimous to pay
poll tax ought no more be allowed a
vote than an unbroken Mexican broncho.

The Denver Business.
Texas Panhandle.

The boom that has been raging in the
towns along the Fort Worth and Denver
railroad is TO be attributed solely to the
energy and business sense OF the mana
gers of that road. Had the same efforts
been made by the Southern Kansas road
the country along their route would now
be IN like prosperous condition. The
country surrounding the latter road is
much superior to the lower portion of
the state through which the Denver
passes, and the main obstacle to its de-
velopment is the one which should have
proven of the greatest help-the Southern
Kansas railroad. Its occupancy of q
field that some more energetic road might
have taken, its miserable service and its
lack of business ability generally makes
nuisance of what should have been
blessing

HERE AGAIN.

When the earth from winters thralldom is re-
leased by balmy spring,
And the robin and the bluebird Overjoyed their
carols sing;
When the trees so lately gaunt and bare the
startling buds display,
And the fields erstwhile are decked again in
verduous array;
When the primrose of the summer breathes in
every balmy breeze
Aud modest early flowers begin to deck the YER
dant leas;
When the sun energies brightly in the morning
from his bath.
And diffuses golden glory as he climbs his azure
path.
Then the iceman sees prospect of disposing OF
his crop,
And people generally expect that coal will take
drop,

II is reported that the women of Kan
sas are taking less interest in elections,
and are more and more neglectfuI about
registering. Aside from a law of nature
that makes the unattained the desirable, ,
it is unreasonable to expect women to
clean house, supervise the building of a
spring bonnet and look after elections in
the same season. The women, for
reason, suppose voting to be of no con-
sequence and waive the privilege.

showed 679. The Dallas liar shows loss
to Fort Worth of thirty-five concerns,
when the truth shows gain of 1874.
But, taking the liar at his own figures
it will be seen that, if, Fort Worth had
only 4O7 in 1889 and GIG in 1890, this city
has made the most wonderful progress
known to the growth of the United
States. A town that adds 26s business
concerns in one year may well inspire the
liars of Dallas with desperation of pur-
pose.
When honest men read such efforts as
this, can lhey wonder at the denuncia-
ton of such miserable trickery? Can
they wonder at the exposure of such in
effable meanness?
