One of our ladies is the mother of two
boys, eight and ten years old, who were
much interested in the Crusaders"
while here. One day, at play in the front
room, they became so noisy the mother
had to leave the Kitchen to rebuke them
and give them warning not to require
her to come again. After returning to
her work, the youngsters, in frame of
mind quite antagonistic, proposed to
hold crusader meeting. So, having
sung hymn, the elder rose to remark !:
There are not many out" he said, "but
we will open the meeting. We hope the
Lord is with us, and we know the devil
is in the Kitchen" to which sentiment
to which sentiment the younger vocifer-
ated a hearty "Amen."

SPEAKING of the income tax,
which, it is said, Cleveland favors,
the New York Press says:
"Wben David A. Wells was Com.
missioner of Internal Revenue he as.
serted that the income tax iu force 10
1868 was paid by only 250,000 per.
sons out of a total population of 40,.
100000"
The Telegraph said recently that it
is almost impossible to make an hon.
est collection of income tax, and Mr..
Wells statement bears out our asser.
tion. But why should we have an
income tax to help the revenues OF
the country when we have a system
of tariff revenue that not only pro.
vides funds but protects American in.
terestsH Only for a short time in this
country has an income tax been col.
lected during and subsequent to the
war period. An income tax is essen

to see it work all right, but its
changes are very radical. However,
as an experiment, let it go. The one
feature of doing away with the work.
ing out of road tax is a good one and
a radical departure from the old laws
that seemed so firmly rooted as to be
incapable of being repealed, A
county supervisor, one who attends
strictly to business, and devotes his
whole time to the work, ought to do
a great deal of good, but he must
know something of roads and he
must be a practical man. The coun.
ty roads in almost every county have
been the subject of much ridicule
and abuse, and rightly so, for they
are very bad, and the correction of
existing abuses will very much please
the people who have to use the roads.

Gov. PATTIsoN on Friday last We.
toed the compulsory education bill,
this being bis second veto of that
measure, He repeats his objections
of two years ago. He thinks it is
a doubtful experiment, and is not in
accord with enlightened sentiment.
1t will establish system so intricate,
burdensome, elaborate and expensive
that it will break of its own weight
or be utterly neglected and inefficient.
The whole school system will be de.
moralized and expense increased.
The Governors ideas of what the bill
would or would not do are precisely
contrary to the combined judgment
of two legislatures, and while he may
be right aud all the others wrong, the
people would have liked very much
to have tried the experiment at least,
and if found of no good could easily
have repealed the law before much
damage was done. Compulsory edu.
cation will come sooner or later.
