marshal, Douglass, and a citizen, named
Thomas Boutwell, went to High & Co.'s
store to arrest Thomas for violating II

capped by running. Some citizens ap-
preaching, Thomas drove them away
with shots from his rifle. A son Of the

FAVOR AN INCOME TAX

WASIIINGTON, May 25.-President
Cleveland has expressed himself as he
Ing III favor of an income tax, and the
declaration is meeting with general
approval from Democratic Congress-
gressmen now in Washington. MIR.
Catchings, Of Mississippi, leading
Dem ocrat on the committee on rules
in the last Congress, has this to say in
reply to an inquiry as to his standing
on the subject: "Evrything seems to
indicate the passage by the next Con-
gross OF bill imposing an income tax
and the repeal of the tax on State
| banks. Both measures will command
strong support among Southern mem-
| bers. We need a larger circulating
medium all over the country, but pal :
tlcularly III the South, and az to an in
come tax that is one of the fairest
methods Of raising revenue"
Congressman Thomas l.. Johnson, of
the Cleveland, 0. district, is enthusiastic
in favor OF the Presidents proposition.
When asked regarding the Presidents
policy he said: "This programme in
dicates that the repeal of the Sherman
law is to be brought about by conces-
sion to the people who want more
money.

two plans are generally proposed. One
relmposlng the tax On sugar, coffee and
tea; the other an income tax. We
should rejoice that the administration
fovors the latter. AS between the
proposition Of additional taxes drawn
from the poorer people who pay 90 per
cent. of our customs taxes a plan that
will levy a tax exclusively on the rich,
which the income tax will certainly do,
there can be but one answer. Let the
people who reap the greatest benefit
from the government be charged with
the largest part of the expense. The
collection OF an income tax is fraught
with many difficulties. 1t certainly
puts premium en- fraud, but is this
not true of tariff taxes and of taxes of
personal prOperty?"
Leading Democrats here, replying to
Republican criticism about the pr0po-
sitlon to settle the money question be-
fore that of the tariff, say that the
policy is eminently wise. Mr.. McMil-
Ian, Of Tennessee, has expressed this
sentiment in very fOrcible and COM
prehensive way. THE tariff fight has
been won," he said. The position of
the Democratic party on the tariff is
well understood, and the country by an
overwhelming majority has voted that
we shall revise the tariff in the interest
of the people. We shall do that
promptly and according to the prom
ises. But meanwhile the money prob.
lem is pressing and must be met, and
there are divisions of opinion in the
party as to how the question should be
settled. We must get together, and
the sooner the better. The question
cannot be postponed. Nothing is more
necessary, therefore, than this early
call to arms in the interest of party
harmony. All sorts of opinions will be
developed and out of this exchange of
views will spring a compromise that
will surely take with the party and the
people and enable us to pass on easily
and confidently not only to the tariff,
but to the other questions awaiting So
