The New York World continues tic
hammer away in favor of what the Con-
stitutios has advocated for the past
dozen years. graded income tax.
Our new ally quotes Adam Smith to the
effect that:
The subjects of every state ought to
contribute towards the support of gov
eminent as nearly as possible in pro-
portion to their respective abilities,
that is. in proportions to the revenue
which they respectively enjoy under
the protection of the state.
Attention is called to the fact that
this just principal is ignored by con-
gress, and by indirect Taxation the
poorer classes have been made to bear
far more than their proportion of the
cost of the government, while the rich
have been comparatively exempt.
Such unequal taxes burden poor man,
hamper his productive capacity, limit
his usefulness, and force him to live
like pauper, while, on the other hand,
a tax on the incomes of the rich be-
yond certain limit would exact trib-
ute only from luxury and a percentage
from needless accommodations.
The World reminds the new admin
istration that it is to be democratic
rectifying inequalities and restoring
justice by an equitable readjustment
of the burdens of government. It can
not execute its mission in a better way
than by the imposition of graded in
come tax, removing the burden from
the neccessaries and putting it on the
superiuities. This is pure democracy
and simple justice.
These telling ticks in the cause of re-
form will do good. How the people
have borne our unjust and unequal
system of taxation so long without a
clamorous protest is mystery.-At-
lamta (Ga., Constitution.

Very Sound Advice.

The Indianapolis Sentinel comes to
the front with the remark that 'this is
q good time for democrats to do some
hard thinking"
Doubtless. good many of them are
already absorbed in deep thought, and
for some time to come it is likely thai
they will be engaged in the same bus
mess.
The fact is, the situation demands
not only hard thinking, but clear-head-
ed thinking on very practical lines.
Here we are, for the first time in q
generation, in control of great coun-
try whose treasury has been emptied,
whose taxes have increased to the
point of robbery, and whose privileged
classes have been protected and pam
pered until the average poor man finds
it too expensive to either live or die.
Our revenues have been squandered,
the public lands wasted, the tariff made
to Cypress labor, and the currency
tinkered with until 1t is no longer the
money of the people.
These conditions confront us and we
must deal with them without unneces-
sary delay. Naturally, the situation
requires thinking. and a good deal of
it. We agree with the Sentinel, and
we do not hesitate to say that the most
hopeful sign of promise in democratic
ranks is the general disposition shown
to continue our campaign of education
until the masses of every section be-
come thoroughly enlightened upon the
great economic problems of the day.
Especially is this true of our younger
democrats. During the past year, the
prizes offered by Public Opinios for the
best essays on economic subjects were
all Won by young men. This is en-l
couraging. II we are going TO stick
this sort Of thing, we shall soon have

The Missouri Colonies and Mr.. Cleve-
land.

Every Colonel in Missouri must feel
himself under personal obligation to
Colonel Jones of the Republic for the
accuracy and delicacy with which he
states their position in regard to the
Offices in the gift Of the present admin
istration. As class they are not
tramping around upon their uppers,
voulgarly yelling for pie. To say they
were, would be gross misrepresenta-
ton Of their position. Their feelings
are about those of an assemblage OF
good citizens watching the effort of a
sheriff to turn some. rascally old cur
mudgeon out of q neighbours premises
that he wrongfully occupies. In the
interest Of justice, they will cheerfully
help him. If called upon, and some of
their number may suggest to him the
propriety of calling for assistance if he
experiences any difficulty in the mat
ter. The Colonels of this state are now.
as they always have been. ready to
serve their country in the hour of her
need. Their party is very dear to
them. They have made its interest
their study and have piloted it over
many q shoal and quicksand in this
State. They know all about its needs
and the dangers that are liable to be-
set it. They may feel little like q
competent college Professor at seeing q
carpenter promoted over him, to teach
Latin with q broad-axe, or like the
soldiers of q victorious army at seeing
the captured camp turned over to the
camp-followers; but they are staunch
and loyal, and Mr.. Cleveland can de-
pend upon them to q man, unless the
impression should get abroad that their
beloved party was being betrayed.

THE st. Louis papers, as also those
in the Southeast counties, are publish
ing accounts of the alleged attempt OF
the Gould gang to wreck and gobble up
the ..Houck Road" running from Cape
Girardeau to Carter county. If half
that Is charged be true, the raiders are
q veritable banditti, and the few re-
spectacle names connected with them
ought to be ashamed of the company
they are in and the miserable work
they are assisting. Mr.. Houck has &C
complished great work in building
his road under many difficulties, and it
is a great blessing to Southeast Mis-
souri,. To destroy competition no
doubt Is Could object. since Mr.. Houck
is just now endeavoring to extend his
road to st. Louis. 1t is past belief that
any Court or Judge in Missouri should
be found so utterly oblivious to all
sense of right as to aid such scheme
of alleged fraud and oppression. The
attempt to appoint small country
merchant as receiver to manage the
road-a man without any railroad
knowledge or experience stamps the
transaction on its face as mere wreck
ing scheme. Pity we did not have a
Judge Gresham to expose the fraud, as
he did so fearlessly like attempt of
Gould's in the celebrated Wabash rail-
road case

attorneys and henchmen who occupied
seats In that body as representatives OF
the people. The bill provides:
Sec. 1. That every person or corpor-

or street railroad, mine or dangerous
and hazardous work in this State shall
be liable for all damages sustained by

sustaining such injury. when sustained

The railroads didn't want the bill
passed, and had their lobbyists on
hand in force to prevent it. They

The Danger Of Civil Service Reform

We hear much of the evils of the
spoils system. and accept it as truism
that the spoils system is wholly bad
without one redeeming trait. We also
are prone to accept anything coming to
US bearing the name of reform as en-
tirely good, without further investiga-
ton. forgetting that even gold coin
may have q counterfeit. and that the
Devil, when he gets in his slickest
work, bears the most heavenly aspect
The word reform is perhaps one OF
the most abused words in the language.
Every far-reaching scheme of political
deviltry that has ever been Matched,
has been branded with the regulation
brand of reform. When silver was
demonetized, the convenient phrase,
''currency reform" cloaked the iniqui-
ty; when tariff reform was mooted, the
tariff barons said, ssReformm Lord
bless you, yes; let the tariff be reform
ed, but let it be reformed by its friends;
and the Mckinley monstrosity was Civ
en- to the people as reform measure.
Under the guise of civil service reform,
it will be easy for the plutocrat to keep
a poor relation, or decayed politician
with a record that smells like ssyear-
lin" egg who has served him, in a fat
place. In England, when the nephew
or younger son of my lord" gets a
government position, he keeps it, no
matter whether it be q tory or liberal
administration, and no matter whether
he has as much sense as horse block,
or not. When the people come to
clean the Augean stables-broom in
don't want to be met by a
dapper gentleman with list of rules
that will prevent anything but a few
minor cob webs from being brushed
aside. What the Democracy wants
in its new quarters, is general house
and thorough fumigation and
of the apartments; and #
it does not get this, it will be about as
well satisfied as thrifty house wife,
who is prohibited from waging war
upon the bed bugs and cockroaches
about the premises.
We do not want the barnacls system
of England, SO ably described by Dick
ems in his "Little Dorrit," fastened on
TO our political system by the subter-
fuge of civil service reform. If those
who have performed eminent political
service in the last campaign are not
by the administration, there
will be strong disposition among the
boys to sit back at the next election,
and carve single while they watch
civil service reform act.
Party success is brought about by
The party worker, and the party work
Or, other things being equal, should be
recognized. The Democratic party
has its full share of angels, but the
of its rank and file is made of
he common clay out of which other
human beings are moulded. They are
lot going to sit up of nights and wear
,ut their pants, for party that pro-
notes over their heads those inoffen-
i've creatures who apparently care lit
lie or nothing for party success until
Ifter the victory has been achieved
md the Offices are in sight.

Since Merit now doth rule the world,
The world will happier be,
For Merit takes the foremost rank,
Where Merits stand should be;
IT'S Merit makes the merchant strive,
With all his might and main,
To merit custom for his goods,
And customers retain.
Now if to Merit you're inclined,
There's one Firm I know we'll,
Whose meritorious custom is,
The best of Goods to sell
At prices, too, SO very low
That they cannot be beat;
Why just visit to their Store
Is certainly a treat!
There you'll see, in everything,
The latest in demand
In styles quite new, and pretty too,
With no old stock on hand.
T. S. LOPEZ is the Firm,
Whose merits are SO rare,
That you will find their deals with you

 h its coming development. now at hand. the great Casa Grande Valley will support several fine towns or cit ies. .At tue upper end of the valley both Florcacc and Wentworth will be places of importance, at .llis end we have Arizole and Casa Grande, and al some point midway in the valley there will be anothcs good place.
 At the lower end of the yallcy the situation and surrounding conditions are such that the growth of tlie two placcs will be toward each othC, ia .i fcv sEort years the narrow space be- tween will bccntireiy covered. and the ts3 towns will he practically merged into one, as were RedlandS and Lugc- nia. in California. As in the latter case. thc union bJ growth will natur- ally lead to incorporation in one Haa, nicipal.ty.

For convenient description, as in all cities. focal nomenclature will be retained, but for economy and conven- fence in pubic administration all will Dc included in ono bady polite.
 To hasten this end is doubtless the earnest desire of all citizens Of both places. TIE OASIS opines that the best way to accomplish the desirable end will be to permit the greatest lat ifude in both places, giTng to each all that It's people may ask in the way of public Improvement, and neither op- posing what the other seeks, This matter was touched in these columns last week upon the road proposition. Arizala has petitioned the supervisors for direct road to the county ss~s. and the matter is set for hearing al a special meeting Of the board Satur- day. As c0nseryators of the interests of the county, which has been already greatly benefited by the improve Elents under way at Arizola, the super yisors should establish the road as pe- titined
 There is another matter of great. importance that Arszola has requested of the supervisors, and that has been denied. That is the matter of giving the place it's own school district. The place has nearly double the number of school children required by law for creation Of new district, and with the families known to bc coming tAe number will soon be treble or quadru- pie. These people want their own school district, under provision of the law they are entitled to it, ard it should be granted them. The board will be petitioned to reconsider it's action on the petition, and as q mat ter of simple justice it ought to do SO.
 The main argument against division of Casa Grande school district is that as bonds have been voted for 2 new scAool house, digiston would 50 reduce tasa6le prcpefty that the bonds can not be scld.
