A SOmbre Reminder.

About two miles south of MOul-
ton on the west side of the railroad
track and in plain view Of the car
windows of passing trains stands II
sombre reminder of one of the most
mysterious suicides known in this
part of the country. 1t is Il stunt
ed faded tree, one of group of
three or four. standing near draw
or ravine. On the outmost tree of
the group there are several roots
extending out above the ground
forming kind of a seat, Here on
the evening of April 18th 1892,
Ernest Meitzen deliberately seated
himself and leaning his head back
against the main trunk of the tree,
he placed the muzzle of n 3S-cali-
bre revolver to his breast and shot
himself through the heart. All that
evening and night the dead man
sat there with his CLASSY eyes fixed
and staring, and the dew wet on
his clothes and the next morning
as the section men went by ON their
way to work they saw him sitting
there and took him to be some
drunken man and SO passed on and
left him. When they returned
from work he was still sitting there
and their curiosity aroused they
stopped the handcar and approach
ed and were Mortified to find the
supposed drunken man dead man
with the revolver still clutched in
his stiifened fingers. Meitzen, n
few days before, had married a
beautiful girl; he was in the best of
circumstances financially and there
was no reason in the world why he
should not be the happiest Of men,
vet with cold blooded deliberation
he purchased a revolver and am
munition at Flatonia, boarded a
south bound train to Moulton where
he set out on foot and walked the
two miles that lay between Moulton
and the spot he had selected for
self murder. If there existed the
slightest reason why he should kill
himself his friends and relatives
knew nothing of it and taken alto
gether it was one of the most mys-
terious suicides we ever heard Of

the colonel. "therc're only lot OF
railroad roughs picked up by the
Republicans and sent in here to
break up our parade"
Demoralized at first by the fury
of the onset the Democratic guards
in FRI soon rallied in force and
proct ed to overpower the new
corners by superiority of numbers.
A big lumber wagon that had been
used to carry squadron of young
giSls representing the states of the
Union was emptied Of its attractive
load and as fast as one of the dis
turbers was caught and tied he was
showed in head first like sack Of
-four and the next one was piled in
on top OF him and so ON until the
wagon was full and the DRINKS
were all caught. Ropes, clothes
lines, wagon harness, towels and
every thing available was brought
into use to secure them, and the
driver was instructed to take the
wagon out in the country couple
of miles and dump. There was
now general recourse to the nearest
saloons for stimulants and refresh
ments and there was a general bind
ing up of black eyes and applica-
tons of sticking plosters and ar
MICA, after which the march was
resumed in good order.
The crowds were all in high
pitch of enthusiasm by this time
and the hurrahing for Cleveland
and Stevenson, Colonel Styles and
others was redoubled while they
took up the refrain of -Four, foul
four years more of Grover; they'll
60 out and We'll 60 in, and Their
We'll be in clover"

CATION of guards bearing at their
heads transparency on which
were the words cleveland and

by a carriage in which were seated
Colonel Styles, Colonel Badger,
Page and Sparks; after these came
another delegation of guards; then
a brass band, then q carriage con-
tanning a delegation Of prominent
citizens, then another long line of
guards marching two abreast,
These were dressed I'M red shirts,
blue pants caps, and each one
carried an unlighted torch. This
line extended as far as the eye could
reach. Great crowds lined each
side of the street and the hurrahing,
shouting, whooping and the bands
made a deafening uproar. The
guards carried transparencies and
all sorts of devices sucl rs two or
three brooms aloft bearing the
words, "a clean swept a banner
on which were painted the words,
Turn the rascals out, etc, Every
once in Il while the procession would
halt for some cause and the carri-
ages containing the candidates
would be surrounded by crowds en-
deavoring to shake hands with
some of the notables, such as Colo

and then continued the march bare

the court house n disturbance
arose in the very front ranks which
brought the whole parade to Il
stand-still.
Whats the matter?" shouted
Colonel Styles, standing up in his
carriage and trying to see over the
heads of those in front. The whole
crowd appeared to be engaged in
rough and tumble fight and pretty
soon a man came running back tc
the carriage all out of breath.
"Nell, what's all that row abou
up there?" demanded the colonel
furiously.
The Republicans got who'll

them up in our Cleveland anC
Stevenson uniforms and sent then
out to Join our parade and they'r'

THE INCOME TAX.

Objections are urged against an income
tax upon two grounds First, that law
imposing q tax on large incomes would b.
class Legislation. Second, that without pro.
visions authorizing an unjust inquisition
into the private affairs Of the citizen such q
law could not be enforced
As to the first objection little need he said
10 theory all tax laws impose larger sums
Of taxation upon the rich than upon the
poor Each is taxed according To the value
Of his possessions. This, We say, lie the
theory OF all tax laws. In practices, the rich
man eva,ies his lawful proportion oi the
whole sum aud leaves the middle class and
the still poorer class TO bear most of the
public burden.
As To the second objection. II there be any
necessity tor the Incorporation Of drastic
measures for the enforcement of tax on In.
comes, il is because of the proverbial indis.
position Of rich men 10 pay their taxes
without inquisitorial proceedings. Nobody
will pretend that the laws providing for the
assessment of all property, real and person.
al, ought not 10 be enforced, and they could
be enforced by rigid and .unfiinchipg en-.
forcement Of the statutes. The provisions
OF all existing revenue laws that remain IN.
enforced are Just such as would be neces.
sary for the enforcement OF taxes on In.
comes. They are inquisitorial in their char.
acter. They provide heavy penalties for
Withholding property from the assessment
roll But they are not enforced, and 80 men
of large means pay comparatively small
proportion Of the taxes.
Undeniably poor men and men Of modest
means pay an unfair share Of the expenses
Of the government This Is true not only Of
the federal government, but OF all the States
and municipalities. The constitution OF
nearly every State In the Union provides
that for the purpose Of taxation all property,
real and personal, shall DO listed at its actual
value State statutes contain the same pro-
vision, but II Is safe TO say that In no State,
county or city in the country are such laws
even approximately enforced. The propen.
slty Of rich men 10 dodge the tax gatherer
is not limited TO any particular community,
but is universal. A poor man, possessing
only small amount Of property, as Tor 10.
stance half.dozen wagons or small stock
Of goods, could not escape IL he desired 10.
What be possesses is 10 sight. II is placed
on the tax rolls and the collector does the
rest.
