the new advertisement of G. F. Jones &
Co., whose establishment is now literally
packed with new goods for the fall and
winter trade. A few days ago one of the
courteous proprietors escorted us through
their establishment, and when We came
out we were thoroughly convinced that q
prettier stock Of goods has never been
shown in Anderson. It would take more
space than we have at our command just
now to describe the many new novelties
we saw there, and therefore we can only
mention them in q general way. A mem
ber of the firm has spent several weeks in
the market, and was very careful in Sc.
lecting his stock, which includes every
thing usually found in first-class gen
eral dry goods establishment. On their
first floor we were shown samples of their
beautiful dress goods, from the common
print to the finest silks, etc. There are
many new novelties in this department,
which the firm is making speciality OF
this season. Their stock of boots, shoes,
hats, gents furnishing goods include all
the new styles and is very attractive. On
this floor is their millinery department.,
which Is in charge of Misses Minnie Vir-
tue and Essie Slough, who are posted in
the latest styles, and who take pleasure In
showing the many new novelties that are

heads. On the upper floor Is the dress-
making department, which is in charge of
Miss Minnie Miller, who is an expert in
the art. On this floor we also find an i'm

we advise you to read il carefully, for it
contains Information for every person who

TIE Drowning Outrage.

The closing days of the Fifty-first con-
gress will be marked by a carnival of job
berry. The house declines to consider the
Butterworth option bill and the various
pension measures which are pending for
want OF time" but is taking the time to
consider the Shipping subsidy hi !, which
will be brought to a vote at 5 o'clock this
afternoon and will doubtless be passed.
This thing is naked steal. 1t proposes
an absolute gift OF millions OF dollars,
wrung from the people by unnecessary
taxation, to JAY GOULD, HUNTINGTON and
other multi-mil ionaires VINO own the Pa
cifc Mail and other lines of steamers.
1t is being supported by the same men
who denounce the farmers alliance
sub-treasury scheme as class legisl alton
and unconstitutional. Yet there is not
an argument to be made in behalf of
this subsidy steal which cannot be
urged with much more force in sup
port of the sub-treasury and other
similar projects which are advocated by
the farmers organizations. If these prof.
ects are unconstitutional so is the subsidy
shipping bill. If they are class legislation
so is this measure, the only difference
being that the class to be benefited by the
latter is the class of millionaires and pluto
Gratis, while the class sought to be benefited
by the former embrace the hard-worked
and undergrad farmers OF the land.
The passage of this Gould Huntington
job will be fitting climax to the career
OF the most profigate and corrupt congress
in our history-of body which has piled
burdensome taxes upon the people for
the benefit OF a small class-which has only
been prevented from destroying local self
government by such an awakening OF pub
lac sentiment as the United States have
not experienced for generation, and
which has been repuiiated by the Amer
lean people with an emphasis such as
they never before gave to their verdict al

plished by compelling railroad property to
pay the same taxes as other property. If
any change is made in the bill it should be
by raising the limit below which the state
receives the railroad taxes. If it were in
creased from 20 cents to so cents Starke
county would still profit about 81 900, and
this matter should be equalized as nearly
as practicable, because in counties having
little or no railroa property the state will
lose by the exchange.
Aside from this feature of the bill. it
contains provisions for returning assess
ments that will unquestionably bring I'M
der taxation great deal OF personal and
corporate property that is now escaping
taxation entirely. The measure has re-
ceived great deal of consideration, and
is altogether such an enormous improve
ment on our present tax system that it
will receive the support of every member
who is capable of understanding tax
system. We predict that it will be the
greatest achievement of this legislature
and permanent credit 10 the democratic

The Revenue Bill.

The railway corporations are to be con-
graduated over the defeat of the PROPOSE
ton to make them support the state gov
erument, as they do in several other
states, and as they ought, in fairness, to
dom Indiana. They are several millions OF
dollars ahead because of the action taken
yesterday. However, various cOnsdera-
tions had weight with the legislature
against this proposition. All the able
railroad attorneys, in and out of the legis-
lature, were entirely convinced of the un-
constiiutionality of the proposed legisla-
lion, and, under the circumstances, it was
perhaps the safest plan to abandon 1t.
Upon this branch of the question, how
ever, there is this to be said: II system
OF taxation which has yielded such good
results 10 Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Massachusetts,, is not constitutional in
Indiana, it ought to be. 1t is our consti-
tuition, and not this system of taxation,
which is at fault.
The protests of the people of several
the proposed change would do them an
injury bad much influence with the legis-
lature. We do not believe the Open
helm bill would have worked such hard
ship to these counties as they apprehend-
ed, but it vas impossible to convince them
that they we're not to be badly hurt. Oh
course it was not desired TO do them the
slightest injustice, and their protests
proved availing.
Instead of obtaining the required In
increase of revenues from the rail-
road companies, therefore, it must come
from an increase Of the taxes on all prop
srty. The increase will not be large, how
ever, and will not bear seriously upon the
people. The state tax in Indiana has
been. for many years, very low, and not
sufficient to meet the necessities of the
state. The proposed increase Of eight
cents on the 500 for the benevolent insti-

Illinois Railroads.

According to the annual report of the
state railroad and warehouse commission
of Illinois there are O,163 miles of main
track in that state, 925 miles OF second,
third and fourth tracks and 2,92S miles of
sidings, q total OF l4,0l6 miles OF track.
The commissioners say the capital in
vested in the railroads OF the state is as
follows:
Capital S47 48S, 200

,769, 62O. s62
A more shameful exaggeration was
never put in print. II demonstrates that
in matters relating to the cost OF railroads
leash cost total depravity in estimates
has been reached and that figures are
made to play the role Of Ananias to per-
lection. There is no state in the union
where building railroads is attended with
such small expenditure as in Illinois and
yet we have the astounding statement
that the roads OF Illinois, putting "sidings,
second, third and fourth" main tracks on
a par with the cost OF main tracks, cost at
the rate of Sl26,257 mile. The commits
sioners say the capital invested in the
Illinois roads amounts to 81, 769, 629, s62.
II we place the cost OF the roads, includ-
ing ali tracks and sidings, at $4,000 a
mile, we find the capital invested to be

difference OF 81 $40, 149,S 1862.

has no objections TO the measure This
being the case, we suppose the enterprs-

troll of the senate will kindly allow the
bill to pass that body without unnecessary
delay and without amendment The
people are for the bill, and if the railroad
company is also for it, as its representa-

surely afford to allow it to pass just as it
stands. The bill doesn't require any

Then, says the Journal, they (the demo-
crats) "passed a gerrymander of their

reasoning this must have been erninently
fair, because, at the first election alter it
was made (1SS0), the republicans got the
legislature on joint ballot and put Ben
HARRISON into the Z. S. senate. The
Journal also denouuces the existing con-
gressional apportonment, although the
next year after it was made the republicans
elected seven out of the thirteen congress
men. The Journals argument is entire
in favor of the appointments heretofore
made by the Indiana democrats for legis-
lative and congressional purposes. The
fact of the mater is that the people have q
habit OF upsetting unfair partisan gerry
manders by whomsoever made unless they
are so firmly intrenched behind constitu-
tional or other def 'nses, as in New York
and Connecticut, that nothing less than a
great popular revolution will suffice 20
