WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Senator Carey, of Wyoming, Ad-
dresses the Convention.

Senator Carey, of Wyoming, Adj
dresses the Convention.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-The sessions
of the twenty-third annual convention
of the Woman's Suffrage association
were resumed this morning, Susan B.
Anthony presiding. Instead of the usual
invocation at the opening of the meeting.
at the suggestion of Miss Anthony and
memory Of Lucretia Mott, who was one
of the early leaders of the suffrage
movement, few moments were spent
in silent prayer. The first address of
the day was by Ellen B. Deitrick, of
Massachusetts, formerly of Kentucky.
Her subject was the congressional de-
bate on the admission of Wyoming.
According to modern science, she said,
man has been upon the earth about half
million years. If this be true the re-
cent Acknowledgement Of women by the
territory of Wyoming was nothing to be
especially proud of, and yet Wyoming
was the only really logical district of
the American Union.
Mrs. Josephine K. Henry. of Ken
lucky. who recently ran for the office Of
clerk of the court of appeals and was
defeated, gave a clear account OF the
Kentucky constitutional convention and
the efforts that are being made in the
Blue Grass state to have women recog-
niZed legally as human beings. AT the
evening session Senator Carey, of Wyo-
ming, said woman suffrage should be
granted; first, because it would help
woman, and second, because it would
uplift and improve the state. The
right to vote had not had debasing
effect upon man, and it did not have
nor could it have such an influence
upon woman. At the conclusion of
Senator Carey's speech, Miss Anthony
presented him with magnificent basket
of roses. Adjourned to Tomorrow.
AT to-day's business meeting of the
National Woman Suffrage association
the following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton; vice president-at-large,
Susan b. Anthony; corresponding sec
rotary. Rachel Foster Avery. recording
secretary, Alice Stone Blackwell; treas
urer, Jane FL. Spofford; national lee
turer, Rev. Anna II. Shaw.

him and the millionaire. He finds that
his small requirements are levied upon
with small shrinkage, while the milf
ions of others do almost no correspond
ing service. If Judge WILSON is war
ranted in the belief that an income tax
can be efficiently and honestly enforced,
he will relieve the question of the great
obstacle to its naturalization into a
legalized method. If its exemptions
are $500 or $4,000. there can be no
weight to the charge that it Expresses
those of limited resources. IT more
penetrative than the present personal
property taxes, it will have much popu-
lar support.

Mr. Cockrell moved an additional

SPRING SPORT.
Memphians Making Great Efforts
for Future Events.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 27.-The first
section of the new iron grand stand that
is being built at Montgomery Park, mod
eled after that at Morris Park, n. Y,
has been completed, and, with fayora
BILE weather, the whole of the iron
structure will be finished within the
next ten days. The brick masOns and
carpenters will follow the iron builders,
and the whole will be completed not
later than April l. The dimensions Of
the new grand stand will be 272x60
feet, and will have a seating
capacity of 5000. Since Satur-
day several new stables Of horses
have arrived at the track, which now
presents a busy appearance. Every
morning trainers are out preparing
their horses for the spring meeting,
which begins April IA. Several have
already worked the half mile in 0:57,
while many of the two-year-olds have
been brushed down the quarter-stretch
in 0:2413.
The coming meeting gives promise of
being the most successful meeting ever
held in the South. 1t is expected that
500 horses will be on the grounds when
the bell taps for the first race, and, as
all the stakes filled we'll, grand sport
can be anticipated. The officers of the
jockey club are devoting their especial
attention to the owners now at the track,
and Memphis will lead off in the spring
with record that will be hard to beat.

THE INCOME TAX.

The very able presentat ion Of the
arguments in favor of the income tax
by Hon. THOMAS WILSON in the GLOBE
will give strong reinforcement to the
supporters of the measure. There is
substantial agreement between the adj
vocates of both sides that the methods
of reaching personal property by taxa
ton are as much traveSty upon the
equities and legal Prescriptions as the
enforcement of the prohibition enact
ments are upon statutory theories.
There is no apparent controversy over
the argument that no eXaction is less
oppressive to the payer than that which
shares the profits Of effort or capital.
Mr.. WILSON very properly devotes his
main effort to meeting the persistent
and vociferous assertions that an in
come tax, while unasSailable in theory,
is virtually impracticable. 1t can
not be generally enforced, and imposes
its burden upon the poor and honest,
leaving the wealthy and dishonest
to escape Its grasp. The fierceness
with which its mention has been as
sailed has deferred many from inauir-
ing into the facts. Mr.. WILSON has
courageously insisted that the subject
shall have consideration upon its mer-
its, re CARELESS of the confusing din of
those who would hiss it off the stage
without hearing. His citation of the
experience reported by the consul in
Switzerland of the operation Of SINH
| lar measure is pertinent and useful
There is no present intention to weigh
| the arguments on either side of the
question, whoever may present them,
| but to insist that it is one OF
the coming questions Of public inter-
est that must have a full and fair
hearing. 1t is apparent from every
casual observation that there is to be a
revival of the agitation of this question.
The experience had with this tax as a
war measure was not favorable. AT
least the eiamor stirred up by its victims
seemed to be the popular expression,
1t is. however, Insisted that the obnoX-
ious features were largely the incident
of peculiar condition due to the war,
and would not be visible to any serious
extent now. The later developments,
especially under the influence of high
tariffs, bring more distinctly to view the
inequalities of taxation. In the use of
the necessaries Of life the consumption
of the laborer and millionaire are
substantially the same. The one
contributes as freely to the rev.
enue Of the government as the
other, with enormously disproportion-
ate ability. This is not sudden de-
yelopement, but the latter situation
makes it more definitely apparent. The
average citizen feels growing dissatis-
faction at the relative exactiens from

money, will have more diversified pleas
ures open to them, and will not be so
concentrated on matrimony as recrea-
ton; and, at the same time, also because
they will have more money, they will be
less frowned down on by the objects of
their alteration. This period of general
prosperity is close at hand; but, mean
while. the West Seventh street electric
lines bring the high bridge at Smith
avenue into such easy communication
with all parts of the city, and it Is so
much better adapted for the purpose
under consideration than any new rival
structure which may be built elsewhere,
that it will probably become st. PauFs

eSsary that we should have one. Th us

MOODY, the evangelist, made a sur
prising mistake in supposing there was
a field for his labors in Boston, the home
of JOSEPH Cook and JOHN l.. SULLf-
VAN. That there should be high
toned resentment is natural; but cult

have taken the form of personal abuse.
Mr.. MOODY retorted in sermon there
that he had never had so much mud
thrown on him in any city as in Boston.

THERE are to be some comforts in
life. in spite of tariffs, taxes and other
incidents. Sugar is to be so cheap that
it will always be necessary to substitute
the production in this country. Then
whisky is to be reduced in cost so that
the most tony bars cannot charge more
than 10 cents for the best corn juice. A
Japanese chemist has discovered and
sold to whisky makers in Chicago a
process that distills without malt, saw
ing 10 to Is per cent and getting Is per
cent more whisky. 1t is to be put in
