II Congress does its duty it will inquire
into the charges brought by Senator
Chandler against treasury officials who are
alleged to have allowed themselves to be
used, persuaded or wbeedled by the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company. Off
Gals Of the United States are said to have
been favored by this company in visits to
Europe. The best statero0ms were at their
service, perhaps without charge, ana
even money was advanced TO them If they
we're in straits on the other side of the
Atlantic. The natural inference Is that the
company aid not bestow these laTgeSses
for nothing. 1t must have exacted an
equivalent. The receipt for kindness would
run for favOTS received or expected. But
before condemnation is even dreamed Of it
would be well to find out the facts. The
charges ought to be probed.
There now appears to be NJ doubt that the
dreadful story OF meb-lynehng telegraphed
from North Carolina was only canard
thought out by an adventurous journalist.
The people in his yieinily may come to the
conclusion that lynehing should be melted
out to him. a lie is rarely completely ex-
terminated by contradiction, and the fair
fame of the State will be lowered for many
a year by this story. One OF the evils of
these prepOsteroHs inventions is that people
who are fooled again and again by false
news come to regard genuine news as false.
The public have little to guide them unless
they hold fast to reputable papers.
Representative Bowers is again pressing
upon Congress the advisa bleness OF handing
over the management of Indians to the
United States army. The reform would in
every sense Of the word be advantageous TO
the country and TO the Indians themselves.
The distribution of supplies would be
honestly managed by army officers. Indians
would make fewer complaints about their
blankets aud mustY provisions aud would
be cuntented and less belllcOse on slight
proyocaliUn. Ii the Indian is treated WELL
with the flTmness which ensures respect for
the ruling hand he Will be just as white as
the best white man. But rob him, injure
him and he becomes an impacabe de-
tester of the crafty, soTdId and dishonest
agent who has been false TO him.
In some Of our public squares most OF the
seats are monopOlized by men. The time
h as arriv' when fair proportion of these
seats should be specially alloeuted to
women and children. A placard should be
affixed to such seats, Reserved for women
aud children" That would give nurse
maids au opportunity to sit quietly in the
squares at such hours as suit themselves
and their infantile charges. At present a
nurse has difficulty in finding a seat. The
probability is that two or three men, smok-
ing. occupy any bench she is inclined to
select for rest and a share Of sunshine. A
few seats reserved for women would correct

SHOULD INCOMES BE TAxEDa

There is considerable talk in Eastern
newspapers about reviving the income tax.
The proposition is to tax incomes of $1,000
year at a low rate AMI to increase the rate
as the income increases. The idea is to get
the rate so high by the time the income
reaches the hslf-million point that man
will make money by not permitting an in
come to increase. An argument in support
of an income tax is that in this way per-
sonal property would be reached which had
escaped the assessor. It is a question, how
ever, if the income-tax collector would be
more fortunate than the assessor. The man
with the most elastic conscience would pay
the least tax in proportion to income.

THE STRUGGLE IN SIAM.

There is so much conjecture mixed with
the statements of fact in the news from
Siam that it is hard to decide what to be-
lieve. 1t is highly improbable that the
Russians have offered help TO the French.
The latter are quite capable of fighting
their own battles in that distant quarter of
the world, and Russia has no conceivable
interests in Siam. Nor is it likely that
China has at this stage of the affair signi-
fed a purpose to interfere. Siam is not
tributary nation TO China, though dis
patch states that she is; and If China is
anxious to try conclusions with France,
why did she not do so in 1882, when the
French sailed up the Min River and de-
stroyed the Chinese arsenals and navy
yard?
England and France are constantly an
nexing Asiatic territory and extinguishing
Asiatlc powers. Only a few years ago
British dominion in India were bounded by
the valley of the Brahmapootra on the
east and the Punjab on the northwest
now it includes the whole valley of the
1raw addy on the former and the whole of
Cashmir on the latter. A few years ago
the French did not hold foot OF land in
Eastern Asia; now they occupy the whole
southeastern corner of the continent. Al
this rate it is mere question OF time when
that continent will be partitioned between
England, Russia and France.

INTERNATIONAL YACHTING.

This is to be memorable year in yacht
ing between the United States and Eng
land. Again there Is contest for the
America cup. Lord Dunraven's cutter
Valkyrie. built by Watson, the designer
of the Thistle. is to cross the Atlantic in
the autumn and will be matched with the
best yacht which has been evolved on this
side of the herring pond. Hopes are high
that our yachtsmen will retain the trophy.
but defeat is possible. The Valkyrie is
not yacht of ordinary style as beloved
by the British few years ago, capable OF
cruising in any seas, but not capable OF
racing, as the term is understood in Ameri-
can waters. We have taught the English
builders lesson in designing fast yachts,
and they have become initators to cer-
tain extent. That was evident in the
10 odel OF the Thistle, which, however,
proved poor competitor against the
Volunteer. Watson was bitterly disap-
pointed at his failure in that race. He
has no doubt striven his best to put better
racing qualities into the Valkyrie. which
thus far in English waters has been
triumphant ON time allowance or otherwise
in most engagements. The Thistle has
it beat nearly all the crack yachts until
this year. The Prince of Wales Britain MIA
was also designed by Watson. but, while
az admirable sailer, 1t is not equal to Lord
Dunraven's craft.
The Navahoe, an American yacht. owned
by Phelps Carroll, has arrived at Cowes.
in England, for some of the matches now
proceeding. Her voyage did not develop
any remarkable traits except the impor-
tant one of being stanch and weathsrly
sea boat. Her speed was moderate, the
greatest run in one day being 252 miles,
but she was not under racing canvas and
she encountered easterly winds. The Eng
lish are prepossessed with her appearance.
They think she closely resembles the Val
kyrie and Britannia. but has more free
board. a shorter counter and rather more
hang forward. The Navahoe is destined
to show her qualities in number OF races,
and no doubt her owner will enjoy his h0i-
day and his reception by British yachts
men whether he wins or is beaten

THE SAN JOAQUIN RAILROAD.

Concerning the proposed Bakersfield
road the Fresno ETpOsitor says:
III the San Francisco people are in earnest In
the matter they should first raise from Il OO0-
900 TO $4,000 in bona-fde SUBSCRIPTIONS
for stock. When they have done this the
Erpositor feels assured that the San JOAQUIN
Valley will raise from 100000 to 81. 900, 600
more. md this will assure the completion of the
enterprise.
:, The present feeling toward the San
Joaquin railroad is that the stock is a good
inves stInent. The question is not now little
they Will take, but how much they can get
The purpose of the Traffic Association is
to keep the stock in hands that will find
large profit in cheap service as well as
in dividends on stock. There can be no
question of the earnestness of the Traffic
Association in this matter. The plan Is to
proceed to an organization as soon as stock
subscriptions amounting 10 $3.50, 600 shall
have been received.
How much money in hand it will take to
warrant the begin ming of work on the road
is not definitely stated. But it will not be
necessary to have the sums named by the
ETpOSit0r according TO the opinion OF the
leaders in the Traffic Association. The
limit is placed much lower. Once the
work is begun it will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. The earnings will begin from
the time the first section is completed.
Experience teaches that an enterprise
actually under way actively interests the
cooperation of all who may be benefited.
Assurances Of subscriptions have been re-
ceived in many quarters. When the rails
go forward and track-laying is in order a
score of communities will hasten to assist
the work. II is pleasing to hear that the
oan Joaquin Valley may raise $1,000, 900.

Stewart 10 which Mr.. Irish believed he
was replying. but we know that the point
of all, or nearly all, Of Mr.. Stewards silver
speeches is that silver should not be de-
monetized for the reasons outlined above.
When, therefore. we fad this argument
replied to in the following strain we de-
cline to admit that Mr.. Irish even believed
that he was making reply. Following Is
part of what Mr.. Irish has put in type:
The silver agitation began at time when the
taxing power of our Government had long
been so used as to compel Western man TO
paw dollar 10 an Eastern man for sixty cents
worth of manufac tured goods, and l admit
that there was a deal OF human nature In the
Western mans demand that the Government
give him a sixty.cent dollar with which to pay
the bill. But since 1t is demonstrated that such
use of the taxing power Is not to be our per-
manent policy the balance Is shl1ted ana we
come to examine the demand for a sixty-cent
dollar with which to buy hundred cents
worth of goods as policy Of retaliation and
measure Of reprisal.
The sixty-cent dollar which Mr.. Irish
has evolved out of his inner CONSEQUENCES
was hundred-cent dollar from 1892 until
1873, when, by act of Congress, the coinage
Of the silver dollar was stopped. The
debtor class now say that the dollar IN
which they are required to pay their debts
has become a one hundred and fifty cent
dollar by the demonetiZation of silver.

AMERICAN MACHINERY.

Iu the agricultural competitions at chi
cago the farmers friend, the reaper, has
lad series of trials. and if one may pro-
nounce an opinion in advance of the
awards the Mccormick mower seems to
have proved superior. although closely run
by the Whiteley Company of Indiana.
Each OF the machines cut an acre of
timothy grass in little more than half az
hour, and in the case of the Mccormick
the work was finished with only one stop
page and with saving of 10 per cent in
the hauling power. These inventions are
unoues tionably credit to American in
gennity. Many years have passed since
Mccormick distinguished himself. but
every year adds some little trif1e of i'm
provement, and an active inventor will
scarcely allow that there is such thing as
fnality. Everywhere on the globe the
American harvester has won its way. Its
success among the golden grain has
brought a golden harvest to the manu-
facturers. There is competition among
European makers, yet enterprise and
vitalizing ingenuity continue to give
American agricultural implements o of
many kinds a healthy amount Of prefer
ence.
In another respect American mechanical
engineers have long led triumphantly.
They have produced many marvels in
printing machinery. The firm of Hoe g.
Co. is as well known abroad as in America
itself. Its wonderful perfecting presses
are in common use in England and have
repeatedly been installed in place of other
machines which appeared to be serviceable
and cheap, but did not really bear favor
able comparison with Hoes inventions
Here again there is no fipality. Each year
sees improvements worked out and availed
Of. The new and daring device of using
color can never, one may suspect, be
brought to more than slight success, for
color. as the painter knows it in minute
touches and broad graduated passages. has
an infinite range and complexity. But who
shall determine these things with absolute
ness? That color printing for a daily
newspaper should be possible in any shape
is an advance which the mechanic would
have secuted few years ago. 1t was pos.
sibe in the processes of slowly printed
illustrated journals. but for daily journals
of great circulation the marvel is that any,
thing but black and white is possible
