A PECULIAR sIIsstatement.

Speaking OF tho imposition OF new in
ternal taxes, including an income tax,
tho President cody remarks that tho
committee, after full consideration, "
has decided on these things. Ho must
mean the ways and means committee,
for this is the committee having such
matters in hand.
LISA fact that no such measure has
been before that committee. 1t may
have been before some OF the members
OF the committee, representing the adj
miuistration, aud it may be taken for
granted that these administration mom-
bars can drive through what the admin
istration wants.
To say that the committee has given
the matter full consideration, or any
consideration, is to make u surprising
statement which lacks the foundation
of fact. It is amazing that the Presi-
dent could permit himself to say such a
thing in his message to Congress.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-12-06

OF the seventy-ono answers favoring
the income tax not many were specific
as to the minimum OF income to be
taxed. The drift OF the opinion, how
ever, seems to be for S, 600 as the limit.
Many insist that it shall not DO so low
as to include the income OF the most
skilled laborers.
The majority of those who favor an
income tax favor graduated income
tax.
The poll of the senate was not SO sue.
cessful as that OF the house. OF the
twenty-five answers received six are in
favor OF the income tax and eight are
against it, while eleven senators de-
cline to express an opinion.

Mr.. Van Allen thus comes out OF the
complication better than anybody else
concerned in it. He was absolutely
unfamiliar with politics and with pub
lie affairs, and might fairly be thought
not to have fully comprehended at first
the nature Of tie transaction in which
he was being involved. The same thing
cannot be said OF MIR. Cleveland, who
knew perfectly well what he was doing,
and whose pretence now that he ap-
pointed Mr.. Van Allen because OF his
Conspicuous fitness, and not because Of
his large subscription, is as impudent
and as pharisaical al anything he has
ever given the public.

Premature Publication ofthe Message
1t is little previous to jump on the
President because the message was pub
lished in London before i. was sent to
Congress. The probability is that the
President had nothing whatever to do
with the foreign publication. The copy
transmitted over the ocean may have
been stolen, or somebody in this coun'
try who had an advance copy may have
betrayed confidence; which is the same
as stealing.
1t is understood that one or two news-
papers did betray confidence in order to
get a scoop" on the honest ones. A
newspaper which resorts to this sort OF
knavery must be very hard up tor a
sensation, For convenience the mes
sage is given out in advance, and held
until released. This means that the
document is not to be made public until
it shall have been read in Congress, to
which it is addressed.
The message was in the IXTELLIdENcER
Office OH Monday before it was read in
Congress-, but itcane subject to instruc-
lions by telegraph aud under the pro-
mise OF the Associated Press to hold it
in confidence. Decent people do not
betray confidence.

The people OF this country will never
tolerate an income tax, and the Demo-
Gratis will soon find this out to their cost
if they attempt to force one upon them.
Such tax is un.republicau and un-
American. 1t belongs to monarchy,
where the people are not freemen, and
are forced to submit to any odious ex-
actions levied By the sovereign. 1t Is
suggestive of tyranny and the I1quisi-
ton. Even on its native soil it Is evil
IDENTIFY doomed to decay and extinction.
In this country the people are the
masters, and those who make and adj
minister the laws are the servants.
They will not submit to any official
prying into their private affairs. Here
every mans business, his income, prof
its or salary is his own concern, and no
inouisitorial meddling with it will be
countenanced. No one will submit to
the demands OF governmental highway

Now that tho beneficiary Of his blum

not 90 10 Rome, after all. 1t took him
some time to reach a conclusion which
the rest OF the American people reached
long bcfore-that under the circum-
stances surrounding his appointment,
he could not accept the position even
had he been fitted for such an important
diplomatic post. His defense OF his
large contribution to the Cleveland

its way, but it does not relieve the pub

When the meeting was called to

attorney advised them that the pro-

would have 10 take place in Wisconsin,
as the company was organized under

was adjourned until tonight to take

Of controlling the price OF window glass:
The attempt to get all manufacturers oil
that kind OF glass in the company was
failure.
A few concerns who were not in the
compact offered goods at lower price
than the schedule rates and the result
was that all agreements made when the
company was organizedhad to be broken
rs means of self-preservation. Tho
company was held together in the hope
that by some means those out OF the
organization could be brought in, but 1t
is said the proposed reduction in the
tariff on glass is such that the manufac::

In few words, the message means
perplexity about foreign and domestic
affairs, the necessity OF putting up u
monarchy in islands over which we
should have had appointed a territorial
governor, and the necessity OF II maraud-
ing raid on the protective system, with
some feeble inconsistent professions,
and the renewal OF war taxes for the
sake of money with premiums on dis
honesty in tax collections. The whole
is the degradation OF American senti-
ment and the destruction Of American

A Harvard man who has worked his
way through 1.-THE rich mans college"
SAYS that an economical student who
avails himself OF the college helps can
get through honorably and happily
for $500 year" He cannot, Of course,
run with the fast set in which money
is spent by the thousands, but he eau
be cenIeel and comfortable and get out
OF the college all the good there is in it.
It is safe to say that student who
works his own way and gets through on
$500 year will be OF more account to
the world and therefore to himself than
the one who spends by the thousands.
The more money college man spends
the less attention he will give to his
college work.
Free spending of money means free
indulgence, which contributes to stud
ent lie only that which is bad. Fond
parents make the serious mistake OF
providing their sons at college with all
the money they are able to give them.
The young man who enters the world
with this preliminary spendthriit train
ing is badly started aud is in great dan
ger OF bringing up badly at the end.
1t may be very pleasant to have a
stable OF horses, valet, superb apart
ments, wine suppers and that sort OF
thing, but it is also very hard on the
boy and the man that is making.

The IYreLLIGENcER expected much
from its Worlds Fair portfolio offer, for
the portfolio is a thing OF merit and OF
great beauty; but the response has out
stripped all expectations. Coupons
and dimes for the first portfolio are
still coming in at rate that keeps the
office force busy Notwithstanding the
additions to it.
One of the most gratifying features OF
the great success is the confidence
shown by the INTELLrGEScER's friends.
Every mail brings big batch OF letters
from persons who have had no oppor-
tunity to see the sample copies. They
rely on the INTELMaEScgR to use them
well. There is no danger of these
friends being disappointed.
The most critical OF all who have in
spected the photographs arc surprised
and delighted. So it will be with all
who get them. The IHTELLIGENcER
takes the liberty to say to its friends
who desire the portfolios that delay in
sending in the coupons and dimes will
cause delay in receiving the work.
