A STRANGE GUIDE.

London is famous for the density

worse than usual. In February, es-
pecially, they were numerous, and
some of them so heavy and black that
men familiar with the city streets Of
ten times lost their way. One 0urioua
incident of the time is reported. 1t
was that of business man who took
wrong turning on his way home
and was completely lost, Hearing a
footstep approaching, he waited, and
asked the man who came up if he
knew where they were.
Perfectly" was the reply, "where
do you desire to CO."

that it was his own house he was try

cheerily, that is almost at hand
Trust yourself to me, and ! will lead
you to yoLr door," Arrived there, he
accepted the gentleman's thanks, and
then laughingly said, 81 dare say, if
you had known what I am, you would
have hesitated to place yourself I'M

The Income Tax.

-Tf'T
The discussion Of the income tax
scheme is widening. And as the peo-
pie become better posted on this
mstbod Of raising revenue it grows in
favor. The discussion extends
throughout the west and south with
increasing rigOr. and even the east
ern press is taking 1t up with greater
frequency than ever before. It's one
OF the most prominent issues to-day.
1t is generally believed that the pres
ident and bis cabinet favor such a
tax, and it may be that Mr.. Cleveland
will take occasion ia N early mes
sage to call the attention Of congress
TO the matter. AS purely business
propoSition, no partisan significance
should he attached to it, The cues.
tion to be considered is whether a
graded income tag 10 the best and
fairest method of raising revenue to
meet the expenses of the government.
Among the southern papers that
are earnestly advocating this method
of taxation stands the Atlanta Con-
Stjtution. 1t takes aR ethical view of
the NATTER and instead of regarding
shis method Of taxation as an imposi-
ton pnts it upon the ground of dis
tribution of burden which should
be borne by all in proportion to their
ability and the benefits they derive
from the government We are sup
posed to have no privileged classes,
and therefore in the matter Of taxa
tion it is grossly inconsistent to ex-
empt the class best able to pay. On
the other hand, it is oniy Just that the
income tax should not bear upon the
poor people whose incomes are SO
small that tax would cripple their
owners and make it impossible for
them to earn On income. The tax
should touch those who can pay with
out distress. Such tax would reach
much Of the concealed wealth of the
country, and people would pay in
proportion to their prosperity.
Under our present system the poor
man who invests in visible property
must bear the burden. A citizen
with a $1,000 cottage, farm, store or |
cottage frequently pays heavier taxes
than man next door to him whose
wealth is invested In bonds that yield |
him an income of $4,000.
A graded income tax would correct |
these evils, and distribute more Justly !
the burden of taxation. A tax on in
comes Of $4,000 and over, increasing
the percentage on incomes of $4,000 |
and so on would strike those who are
able to bear 1t without Inconvenience,
and we conld then reduce our tariff !
to free trade basis, and the govern
ment would raise its necessary reve-
nue. without taxing the toiling masses
into the mife of poverty.
So much for the justice of such a ,
tax. 1t could be collected. England
collects il, and we could do it. Pos
sibly it would tempt a few to commit
perjury. The penitsptisry will stop
all that. 1t would give us fay less
trouble than the collection of the in |
ternal reuenue taxes, and it would
strike the very Glasses who have been
enriched by the favortisin 81 the gov
ernL 1ent, and whose dnty 1t is to bear

The Town Punp

Loud complaints are being made
these hot days, that no water is to be
had for thirsty stock. Farmers COM
ing many miles to trade in this town,
are compelled to leave town and on
their way home seek what they can
not get in Morris. This is unjust to
the farmers, and also to the business
men of the village, for men would
rather GO further to town where
their stock will not suffer. The Nor
ris merchants have everything needed
for che farmers, and the farmers wish
to deal in Morris; why then should
neglect be allowed to interfere with
the mutual interest of both.
We have town well and windmill,
with a large tank and all seem to be
in good order; but some difficult
seems to exist between the tank and
the drinking trough, so that it has
been useless nearly all spring. The
outfit cost the village too much
money to be allowed to go to rot
We respectfully ask the proper com
mittee of council to attend to this
very important matter.

Morris Roads.

A few weeks ago The Sun. spoke Of
the bad condition of the roads lead
Tag into Morris, and suggested the
advisabliness of sending our road
graders outside of our own limits, in
the interest of this village. 1t should
not be necessary to speak of a matter
of such Raoment more than once, but
the matter is still neglected. Other
towns around us are putting forth
every effort to draw trade by good
roads and water supply; but Morris
reposes calmly in its false security
and will not awake until it's locks are
shorn.
Notably the road to Hancock is a
fair example. From the bridge to
Hancock lover six miles, is in perfect
order, while the short mile on the
Morris side of the bridge would be i'm
passible in wet weather. Is it neces-
sary to say which town the farmers
on the East side of the river would
go to. Now we wish Hancock well
and all the success it is entitled to,
but we make this practical illustra,
ton to show what live, united towns
are doing.

Cheerfulness and Digestion.

If you would ensure good diges-
ton, see to it that the conversation
around the family board is cheerful
and enlivening; every unpleasant
topic should be banished, and, above
all, those hectoring personalities
which can SO cruelty wound, which
are SO wretchedly ill-bred at any time
but not to be tolerated when they
actually endanger health. Just as
much thought should be given to
how and under what circumstances a
meal is eaten as to the food provided!
yet many woman will work hard to
prepare tempting dainties for her
family, and then Immediately proceed
to weight them with the indigestible
shafts and arrows of reb ike and fault
finding. Now though we do not live
to eat, we do eat to live; and, in order
to derive the utmost benefit from our
food, it should be the endeapor OF
every member of the family to add
something to the general pleasure
during the meal hour, and both the
father and mother should be sure
that their example is not wanting
