 FARMER HATCH" has a scheme of taxation that bids fair to add to the troubles of the majority of the house ways and means committee in prepar- ing the bill for internal revenue taxa. ton, the latest estimate being that at least S60, 100000 must be so raised. Farmer Hatch" is the gentleman who as chairman of the house committee on agriculture was, during the Fifty-sec' ond congress, in charge of the anti-op' ton bill, which came so near becoming q law. Farmer Hatch" is stlll char man of the house committee on agricul- ture, and he has not given up the hope of seeing the anti-option bill become a law, but his new scheme will stir up the bulls and the bears of the various stock exchanges to much greater ex' tent than did that measure. and if it meets with as much favor from the members of the ways and means com. mittee as it already has from congress men outside of that committee, it may find place iu the now internal revenue bill. Mir. Hatch proposes that iu lieu of an income tax small tax, say one twentieth of one per cent, be put upon the transactions of the great specula- tive exchanges of the country. He ar- gues that such tax would bring a larger revenue than any of the propo- sitions for an income tax; that it would De easily collected, because all the transactions of the exchanges are re- corded, and that it would not be bur densomc to either producers or con- sumers. The lobby sent here to fight the anti-option bill furnished some fat picBings for the impecunious, but if the proposition of Mir. Hatch should be adopted, the wealthy exchanges would probably send the strongest lobby that was ever in Washington to seeure lts defeat. To those who have never Leen able to see that speculative exchanges are of the slightest bopefit to the coun try, either materially or morally, tue proposition to tax their transactions appeals strongly.

A Herald of the Infant Year

Clip the last thirty years or more from the century, and the segment will represent the term of the unbounded popularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. The opening of year 1894 will be signalized by the appearance Of fresh almanac of the bittcrs. in which the uses, derivation and action of this world-famous medicine will be lucidly set forth. Everybody should read it. The calendar and astronomical calcu- lations to be found in this brochure are always astonishiugiy accurate, and the statistics, illustrations, humor and other reading matter rich in interest and full of profit. The Hostetter Com pany, of Pittsburg, Pa, publish it themselves. They employ more than sixty hands in the mechanical work, and more than eleven months in the year are consumed in its preparation, It can be obtained, without cost, of aii druggists and country dealers. and is rinted in English, German, French, Welsh. Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spapish.

THE correct boundary line question between Arizona and California seems tO have been by no means settled when Judge Baker decided the other day that Yuma is in this territory, says the Tue son Enterprise. Through complica- tions in which the Colorado Irrigation company, composed of Denver capital ists, has become involved, Attorney General Hart of California has been retained to prepare papers and obtain the sanction of Governor Markham, for suit to be brought in the United States supreme court to fix the lines between that state and Arizona. What the outcome of this suit will be it Is hard to surmise, yet it seems an almost settled question that Yuma was once a part of California. Possession, how ever, is uine points of the law, and consecutive possession for over thirty years ought to be the tenth point in favor of Arizoua.

A RECENT writer in trade journal wonders why some one has not invented d saw that will dress the lumber at the same time it cuts. The Douglass cutter saw on exhibition at the Worlds Fair was blaming and cutting lumber every day and all who saw the work of this wonderful saw were surprised and astonished at the result obtained. A New York company has been formed to manufacture the new invention and il will soon be on the market.

REPRESENTATIVE BLAND, of Missouri


 REPRESENTATIVE BLAND, of Missouri,
 lost DO time in showing his critics that he meant business, and not a bluff,
 about his proposition to re-enact the silver law of 1887, which was repealed in 1873. He has introduced bill to that effect, and that bill is now before the coinage committee, of which MT.
 Bland is chairman, and he is confident that it will be reported to the house, notwithstanding President Clcvoland's official request that financial matters be let alone at this session. Mir. Bland says there has been reaction in favor of silver since the people have seen that it was not responsible for the f. nancial depression. and that the senti- ment in favor of restoring silver to a parity with gold is on tae increase. It is not Mir. Blaud's purpose to antago- uize the tariff bill, but as soon as that measure is out of the way he will do his best to push his silver bill through.

LET us be thankful for small favors The fight on the tariff, although il will be red-hot, will not be unnecessarily prolonged, the republican senatorial caucus having decided that no bush whacking is to be resorted to for the purpose of delaying the vote. ltis un- less present indications are at fault, to be short, sharp aud decisive fight. and the side with the most votes will win. The republicans of the senate have a new steering committee, of which Ali son, of Iowa, is chairman, and Dubois, of Idaho, secretary. They will enter the tariff fight with thoroughly united party, and will, in that respect have the advantage of the democrats, but the dissatisfied democrats are not ap parently numerous enough to change the result. In fact there are reasons for believing that their talk has n' other object than that of securing som' notifications of the tariff bill as it nov is, and that it will end in talk, whethc they get the notifications or not.

BRADsTREET's, discussing the new tariff bill from purely business point of view, declares that, with reference to the business interests of the country,
 the bill is disappointment and that it constitutes very bad beginning for n great party which has practically its first opportunity in 30 years to do con structive work in the matter of national Legislation. It is shown that while the decrease in the revenue from customs is about 5O,OOO, ,OOO, there is no pro- vision for reduction in the expenses of the government.

MUST BE IN WRITING
A Mechanics Lien Not Good Unles
the Contract is Recorded.

Mechanics Lien Not Good Unless
the Contract is Recorded.
The Supreme Court has reversed the
judgment of the court OF San Joaquin
County in the case of w. A. Morris and
Thomas Grlbb VS.. w. w. Wilson. and
directs that court to enter a personal
judgment only in favor of plaintiffs.
without counsel fees Or expenses of pre-
pairing and recording the mechanics lien,
The appeal was from a decree in favor
of plaintiffs for $3.50 35 and costs, and for
the foreclosure of mechanics lien as
security therefor.
The lien Of the plaintiffs is for labor and
services as carpenters and builders, rem
dered 10 the defendant III building upon a
lot owned by the latter in the city of
Stockton.
The Supreme Court says: "They were
not entitled to a lien. They had entered
into written contract with defendant to
furnish all the materials and construct
the building for the sum of S2,0O0, which
contract was never recorded. as required
by statute. Under such circumstances
the contract was void.
sin such case the labor done and ma
teriais furnished by all persons, except
the contractor, shall be deemed to have
been done and furnished at the personal
instance of the owner, and they shall
have a lien for the value thereof
The evident intent OF the statute was
to make it an object for both the con-
tractor and owner to put in writing and
record their building contracts, where
the amonnt agreed to be paid is in excess
OF 81 900.
"A mechanics lien only exists by vir-
tue of compliance with the statute which
creates it. Plaintiffs did not comply
with the terms of that statute. They
must, therefore, rest content with a per
sonal Judgment"
