The EraVeSt of tho Brave.

The story in The Constitutions news
columns of the heroic conduct of Judge
Chrisman, of Mississippi, beats any
thing that has been seen in print i'll
many day.
A courthouse in a quiet country town
was suddenly surrounded by armed
white caps demanding the release Of
their arrested comrades on bail, and
when the judge, single-handed and
alone, confronted them, a hundred shot
guns and pistols were aimed at him.
Dcfying the mob, this one man broke
through the line of outlaws, raised a
posse and drove the aSsasSins to the
woods. Next Monday he will try the
white caps now in jail and as many of
the others as can be captured by that
time
1t required the nerve of Old Hickory
himself to face such fearful odds and
win by the sheer force of character and
courage.
There should be bright future in store
for this matchless man, this hero of
the old Spartan type. His superb daring
and firmness in the most trying hour OF
his life will be an inspiration to the
friends of law and order everywhere.
With this golden lesson in citizenship
to encourage them, we cannot see how
the good people of any southern com
munity will ever again yield to any
number of white caps or lynchcrs. When
lawless men find that our judges, sher-
ifs. deputies and leading citizens are
ready to die in their tracks rather than
submit to the reign of the mob, this
lynching business will come to an end.
Our northern contemporaries will do
we'll to make a note of this. The state
and the section that produce such de-
voted guardians of the law as Judge
Chrisman will establish and maintain
peace and order at any cost
There was once an Iron Chancellor
and now Mississippi gives us an Iron
Judge. We may not give him laurel
crown, but we can at east stand by
him!

The Income Tax in Europe.

The New York World calls attention
to the fact that the chancellor of the
British eXchequer, finding that he will
have Il deficit of several millions of
dollars, has decided to increase the in
come tax.
This tax, says our contemporary, has
proved the most flexible and easily cal
culated of any feature of the budget
The officers seem to encounter little
difficulty in collecting it, and it is easy
to estimate in advance what it will
yield. The matter is of peculiar inter
est to us just now, us congress will be
asked to impose graded income tax.
The objection that it cannot be collect
ed is all nonsense. They collect such
taxes in England, Germany, France and
Italy, and we can do it here.
So we may go ahead with perfect
confidence and reduce our tariff to prac-
tically u free trade basis. What ever
deficit such policy may cause in our
revenues can easil be made up by tax
ing incomes. The prompt increase of
the income tax in England when the
government needs more money signally
illustrates the value and convenience
Of this mode of taxation. Moreover,
it is Il fair and a just tax because it
makes people pay their prOportiOnate
share of the expenses of the govern
ment, whereas, under our present syS-
TEN Il rich man Frequently gets off with
only nominal tax if his property hap
pens to be in the shape Of certain bonds
and securities, while his poor neighbOr
owning a little real estate is taxed to
the full extent of his possessions.

jfinanciers deal in such smooth state
ments and opinions that it is difficult
to say whether they regard government
notes as cash or credit We presume
they would say bank draft represents
credit but it is as close to cash as Il
treasury note.
However, leaving such considerations
out Of view, we are led to believe that
credit is regarded by these fnanciers
as Il very big thing. The fact is inn
portant for it becomes, when rightly
understood and applied, an important
argument in favor of state banks of
issue. If credit is of such importance
i'll the business world, why should it not
be utilized in the south and west for all
it is worth. In the northeast system
Of trade and commercial credits has
been built up which practically abolish
es cash. 1t has been butt up to fit the
conditions of trade and commerce there,
and it disposes of many troublesome
and cumbersome problems.
We can never hope to understand the
eminent financial writer's who in one
breath eXtOl credit, and, in the next,
declare that form of it as old as COM
merce itself, is in the nature of wild
catiSm.

would leave 81 $50 as one-fourth of the SUBJ

pose ten persons guessed the word, this

S. P. SMITH, of Towanda, Pa,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayers
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
"For eight years, was, most of the
time, great sufferer from constipa-
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges-
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
] began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 100 pounds; now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me be-
fore and after using, you would want
me for a travelling advertisement.
Ibeleve this preparation OF Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day"
