AT a recent Baltimore concert the audi
ence was only thirteen in number. When
a soloist discovered this she positively re-
fused to sing. There was certainly not
much encouragement in the size of the au-
dlence. But by bringing in another per-
son to exercise the presumptive hoodoo
she was finally persuaded to go on.

Recently an Illinois Catholic priest com>
planned to the newspapers because the sheriff
OF Madison county refused to admit him to
the cell of a condemned murderer and
stated that it was violation Of his rights
received from God" Possibly his religious
fervor may cause him 60 sincerely thiak so.
But he had really no such right. Privileges
of that character are mere courtesies that
the law does not specifically accord any one.

Within the past few days delinquent
Pennsylvania postmaster has been brought
TO book and compelled TO settle in full. Inn
vestigation Of his accounts showed that he
had on two occasions appropriated the odd
half-cent in drawing up his balance.
Therefore he was adjudged indebted to
Uncle Sam in the sum Of l cent. So he
was called upon to pay and he paid. Now
that this important matter is satisfactorily
arranged our national uncle should call
upon Pension Commissioner Raum to open
the books and let us see how his accounts
stand. This is a good time to settle I'D.

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1891-02-25

In the state senate q bill has been
passed by which the question of taxing
the people according to their income is
to be submitted to a vote of the people.
In this connection the Review desires to
interpose another kick against going
further with such a proceeding, howev>
er Intellectual the kick may be. The
principle of an income tax, to be sure,
would be right, if in carrying it into
execution, it we're such that it treated all
alike. But that's the trouble. It might
be the means of seeking out the wealth
of certain ones who escape taxation to
a certain extent under the present sys-
tenn of assessment, but we fail to see
wherein it would be success in getting
at the really rich folks of the country
The latter class escape taxation at
present through dishonesty. The true
extent of their property is not known,
and the assessors have no means of as
certaining it within reasonable limit.
They receive no incomes that could pot
easily be kept from the knowledge of
all but themselves, and, no matter in
which way they are taxed for anything
but real estate, it seems impossible to
reach them except through their own
willingness to be truthful and to be
taxed. Wherein Their is an incomeltax
to work any good to that class Of small
income, the size of which can always
be learned by the assessor? Incomes
OF certain amount might be exempt, Of
course, but unless the method is capa-
pie Of reaching the really rich ones, an
injustice would be worked upon the
middle classes, and q law that treats
any class except with fairness is wrong
and should not be allowed place on
the statute books. The Review is heart
lily in favor of any method Of taxation
that will get at the hidden wealth Of
the country, but for such q purpose it
believes that an. income tax would be
utterly futile.

Matt Quay, the maligned senator from
Pennsylvania, has at last condescended
to open his mouth and utter denial of
the unsavorY charges against his name
and political honesty. That he refutes
every charge to the full extent that
charges of such nature can be refuted,
no one will deny, but the effect is far
from what it would have been had he
made his defense several months ago.
Then many were led to the opinion that
Quay was really guilty. 1t is hard to
alter that opinion now.

The Pennington Tribune said sens
ible thing when it stated that the prac-
tice of the Legislature of visiting the
various state institutions was farce.
It is Just SO much money expended
without any apparent results. The
managers of the institutions always
know beforehand when the honorable
senators and representatives are going
to make their visit, and invariably "a
season Of general housekeeping is ush-
cred on to prepare for the reception of
the guests. When finally the investi-
gators turn up, they are carted around
through the corridors and of course find
everything in prim condition. Now if
such proceedings do not have the color
of farce, then what does? ~:

Pioneer Press for libel to the extent of
$780,, 900, unless it retracts what was
published in letter from Col. w. 5.
King, written twelve years ago.
Twelve years is a good long while to
let a matter of that kind rest, and the
only plausible excuse that Donnelly
can have for bringing it up now is that
he don't expect to get anything out Of
it, aside from little amusement and
perhaps an equal amount of noto1iety.

To judge from the newspaper reports,
there has certainly been something very
rotten about the management of the
Saltwater prison. Convicts have been
allowed to do about as they pleased,
and laxity has been exercised to the
extreme. For the sake of the good
name of the state, there should be
thorough overhauling of all that per-
tains to the institution, and new code
of rules should be followed that would
remove from it the stigma that has at
tached thereto for number Of years.
Men should be selected to watch over
the prison, who will reflect credit upon
the state by rigorous control and
who will not, by misplaced kindness or
tenderness Of nature, turn the manage
ment over to the inmates.
It took seventy-six rounds for Ryan
TO knock out Needhanl, and it required
Just two columns in every morning
newspaper in st. Pau! and Minneapo-
lis to give the particulars of the fight.
Thus it is that the great dailies are ex-
ercisjng a highly moral influence over
the minds of their readers. The theme
is anything but enrolling; the descrip-
ton is everything but refined; the effect
is all but elevating. It is only to salts
f. the more brutal tastes of a certain
class of readers, that accounts of these
disgraceful encounters Of sluggers are
published, and it is time that che great
papers ceased to feed the appetite Of the
lovers Of such low sport. They should
BE actuated BY a higher motive than 9
mere desire TO sell papers.
