AS STATED by the GAzETTEs Washington
correspondent three or four days ago, Mr..
Buchanan, the representative 10 Congress
from the OH, or Abingdon district of Vir.
ginia, has prepared and will introduce a bill
providing for a tax on all incomes over
seven thousand dollars. The facts that the
income tax was repealed by a republican
Congress, and that the republicans in Con
press have perslstently refused to allow tito
be reimposed, show plainly enough, if other
proof were requisite, that the republican
party is controlled by the moneyed interests
of the country. Mr.. Buchanan and the
democrats should push the bill referred to
with all the means at their command and
use every conceivable effort to secure an aye
and DO vote upon it, so as to put themselves
and their republican colleagues on record.
The voters of the couatry would like to
know the men who impose O tax on salt,
sugar, fuel, clothing, medicine and all the
other necessaries of life, which poor people
have to consume In order to live, but who
refuse to tax the large incomes OF rich men
and richer corporations.

A CYCLONE AT ST. LOUISA violent tor.
nado struck ST. Louis yesterday afternoon,
preceded by heavy rain and sleet. Many
buildings were wrecked AID several lives
lost. Trees were torn up by the roots and
broken eff, telegraph poles swept down as
though mere sticks, while the roofs of build
inps were lifted from their moorings like
feathers. Mrs. Charles Miller was buried
beneath the debris of her house. Her babe
escaped without q scratch, but the mother
was badly hurt and may not recover. There
was carcely any warning of the approaching
storm, owing to the fact that the sky had
been overcast for several hours before the
full force of the wind was felt, and 1t was
all over in a brief period of time, those resid-
ing in and near the path Of the cyclone
scarcely realizing what had happened until
it was all over. Dozens of dwellings and
stores in the southern, central, and north.
ern sections of the city, were destroyed end
an entire famiiy-father, mother. and child,
met their deaths by the falling of q building
on their dwelling. The losses on property
are roughly estimated at 800 600.

read between the lines that the bondhold-

The republicans do not seem to bother
themselves about the debt question but are
patiently waiting to see if the democrats do
make a botch OF the matter. Senator
Mcdonald, of Northumberland, one
of the leading republicans in the
General Assembly will doubtless use
all his influence against making any terms
with the foreign commission, as he has re-

The FACT that dfty.Ave thousand persons
were convicted of criminal %oienses in the
State of New York last year will not strike
a single northern South-hsting republican
as at all indicative of a ~predisposition to
crime among the people Of that State, nor
will it induce q single northern republican
Congressman to introduce a resolution in
Congress for the appointment of a congress
slonal committee to inquire into the cause
of the deplorable condition referred to, and to
report a remedy therefor. Why, 1t is not rick
ingthe imputation of recklessness to say there
were not that many criminal convictions in

Another Titled Marriage

A special dispatch from Paris to the New York
World says: Another hasty American love af'
fur is on hand, about which a Baltimore banker
cables that he wishes TO know particulars before
he allows his daughter to marry a foreigner with
a petty title. Three weeks ago Alice Janney,
daughter of the we'll known banker of that name
in Baltimore, went " i.h her mother and sister to
n musicale at the Grand Hotel. Among the
guests was an Austrian who hiss been spending
much money here lately, Baron Joseph %Janlsch,
from Vienna. 1t was a case OF love at INST sight.
Four days after he was presented Ianisch called
at the hotel and formally proposed for the hand
OF Miss Janney. H0 Was accepted, and it was the
intention of the couple to be married at once.
But ic was found that the laws of Franco pre-
vented this unless the twain had been residents
there for thu e months and had obtained the coll
sent Of their parents. Father Janney was cabled
to for his consent. He replied that he wished for
full particulars before giving his daughter TO
Janisch. The latter is said 10 be q man OF good
family in Vienna, the son of a fairly rich wine
merchant there, but not q bsron yet, though the
title will come 20 him by inheritance. de was

plenty of money before settling in business, but

enough w%herewith to return to Vienna snd for
babe his getting married.
However, the young couple are much in love,
and intend going to London to get married.
This can be- done al any parish registry ONCE,
