to a frightful extent. A similar custom
exists among the Paraguay Indians, and
the labnets worn by the Botocudos are
inserted in a slit made in the lower lip.

Catarrh, not Local, But Constitutional.

In q magazine article says: "A radical crfu

do more harm than good. Other leading author
tiles agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the onl
proper method Of cure for catarrh Is by taSiu
constitution ! remedy like Hoods SarsQpa

Horrible Crime.

CREsToN, Iowa, May 13.-Thc most
horrible crime in the history of this
section of Iowa was disclosed on a farm
near Prescott yesterday Returning
home in the afternoon from Brooks
where he had gone, Wm. Coons found
his wife tied to her bed with q bullet
wound in her head. Lying on the bed
was his little daughter also murdered
with one shot from the deadly re-
volver. Mrs. Coons had evidently
been assaulted and then murdered.
The little girl had attempted to escape
but was shot down in the yard by the
brute who then brought her back to
the house and laid her on the
bed. Coons at once suspected his
nephew, boy named Jos. Dooley,
aged 10 years, who had been in his en-
ploy and who was found to have left
with Coons's team and wagon. 1t was
also learned that Dooley had purchased
revolver on q forged order signed by
his uncle. 1t was with this weapon he
is supposed to have committed the
murder. There is no possibility of
Dooley's escape and iynching is
among the probabilities.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 13.

THE LARGE deficit in the Treasury
has set the democrats to thinking about
the WAYS and means by which it can be
made up. The chief cause of 1t is the
immense and still rapidly increasing
pension list. PROFESSIONALLY the best
means. in every respect, is an income
tax. and from present appearances that
seems to be the one the democrats will
strive for, though the republicans, with
their invariable regard for the rich, will
oppose it strenuously. An income tax
complies with all the requirements for
proper tax. 1t falls only upon those
who can bear it without inconvenience,
and there isn't man in the country
who, ifsubjcct to it, would like to be ex-
empt, or who, if exempt, would not like
TO have that exemption removed as
soon as possible. Then, too, it would
be a Just and equitable tax. Most of
the wealth of the country is in the
North and was acquired, either dircc:-
ly or indirectly, by means of the war.
Therefore, the pensioners should be
paid by rich northern people. AS it is.
the poor people of the South, who were
impoverished by the war, have to pay
their full share of the pension account,
and are taxed to do on their necessaries
of life

The NIetholiStS.

In the Methodist general conference
at Omaha yesterday, after another live
ly debate, the question of constitutional
revision was indefinitely postponed, af-
ter the adoption of q substitute offered
by DR.. Goucher, of Baltimore, to the
committees report declaring that the
section of the law enacted with relation
to lay representation partook of the
nature OF legislative enactment, but the
principle was constitutional. This was
regarded as n compromise.
DR.. John Lanahan, of Baltimore,
offered a resolution providing that the
bishops might in following the rules al
ready in vogue count five years in every
ten for the appointment ofthe itinerant
ministry. This is to permit minister
to be returned to a charge after the
lapse of five years. This is simply to
make the rule more definite.
The Virginia Conference ofthc Meth
odist Episcopal Church will ask the
General Conference at its present Sc
sion for an enabling act to disintegratc
and assign its several districts to con-
tiguous conferences. This will give to
the Baltimore Conference the Alexan-
dria Dstrict-part of its original terri
tory. Two other districts of the Vir-
ginia Conference will probably 90 to
the West Virginia Conference, and the
fourth to the Holster Conference. This
trouble occurs because the Missionary
Society finds itself possessed ofso much
home missionary work that it must cut
down the appropriations for the sup
port of the preachers in Virginia. 1t
will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the General Missionary
Committee in Cleveland, Bishop Foster
spoke in favor fsurrendering the NJ. Z.
work in the Southern States-or much
of tito the NJ E. Church South.

LANGsToN, the negro eX-Congress-

all the bridges between himself and
President Harrison. At Il negro Bap-
fist convention in Washington yester-

ing delegates to Minneapolis to vote for
Mr.. Harrison, and that as Il consc-
ouence the administration had no more

Harrison had been joked with too much
already, and that delegation of the
convention should "tell him that the
negro is outraged, assasslnated, lynch
ed all over the South, and us the EXecu-
tive of the nation. he is expected to see
that these evils are remedied. Before

if Mr.. Harrison intends TO see that the
law is enforced so that every citizen il
the South will be protected"
