Louis Hagsr Pays the Penalty of his BsS-
tial Oiepses.
In the Ohio county criminal court
yesterday Louis Hager was put on trial
to a jury on the charge OF indecent and
felonious assault on Eva Conard and
Laura seabEigAt, two children. The
state was represented by Prosecutor
Howard and the defense by Messrs. At
kinson and Flick. Several witnesses
we're examined, all as to the assault on
the Conard girl, and the testimony was
80 conclusive that on hearing it the at
torneys for Hager consulted with their
client and then Withdrew the plea OF
not guilty. The jury rendered verdict
Of guilty without leaving the court room.
A plea OF guilty was also entered as to
the assault on the Seabright child.
The prisoners counsel made o plea
for mercy, which Mr.. Howard opposed,
showing from Hager's past career that
he Ia a bad sort OF youth to have at large.
The Judge finally gave him three years
on ono charge and two on the other,
which mild sentences were doubtless in
consideration Of Hager's youth.
Ed Reynolds, colored, was tried to a
jury or q charge Of adultery with q girl
named Neelis.
The indictment against Frank Cham
bers, the Mcclure house bell boy &C.
cused OF stealing some time ago, was
nollied. He is at Rochester, Pa, and it
is said he paid over all the balance OF
money he was alleged to have stolen, to
Sheriff F%ranzheim, who went there last
Saturday to collect it for Mr.. Heiskell,
from whom it was taken. Proceedings
were then dropped.

THE GOLD RESERVE.

The Democrats in the last house took
the ground that the secretary OF the
treasury had no right to issue bonds, even
to maintain the 500. ooo. 900 for the 70.
demption Of greenbacks. All the Demo-
cratic members Of the house judiciary
committee signed . report to that effect.
and congress refused TO enact John Sher.
mans bill authorizing the secretary to
issue a 3 per cent bond. No wonder
Secretary Carlisle, in face Of this action of
the Democratic house, il not inclined to
take the responsibility Of selling bonds to
maintain his reserve.
There Is really no occasion for any
alarm because the government has on.
croached upon its gold reserve. It is
using that reserve for its legitimate pur-
pose. This reserve might possibly be re-
duced to . point that would cause alarm
and rush to get gold for notes, but our
government is perfectly willing and able
to maintain gold payments. and 1t could
arrest any rush TO got gold for notes at any
time by announcing its purpose to sell
bonds. but 1t would have been better for
congress to have distinctly authorized the
secretary to do so. OF course the credit of
the United States 10 ample to borrow all
the money 1t wants should Il need at any
time to increase its gold reserve for the re-
demption Of its outstanding notes.

AN INCOME TAX.

The Atlanta Constitution, Dem, declares
itself in favor Of an income tar. The
Democratic platform. it argues. makes an
income tax . necessity. since 1t pledges
the party to give the country . tariff for
revenue only. that 10 . tariff without .
vestige of protection, tariff that stands
for British free trade. The Constitut,ew
sees clearly that 1t will never do to impose
tariff on sugar. tea and coffee. which are
among the necessities of the poor man in
America. and yet without these revenue
taxes II will be necessary to raise the money
for the support of the government by a
graded tax on incomes. A tariff for revenue
only Will force the country to tax the in
comes of the rich. If il proposes not to tax
the sugar. tea and coffee of the poor.
Great Britain taxes incomes and We will
be forced to do so. This in substan CO il the
plea of an able Southern Democratic news
paper for tho imposition of a graded Fed
eral tax on the incomes of the rich, Ex-
Congressman Morrison. and Watterson, Of
the Louisville Courier-Journal. both favor
an income tax As necessary to carry out
the policy OF the party on the tariff ques.
ton.
Without a revenue tariff on sugar. tea
and coffee. there will have 10 be some
other means of revenue than that of Gus
toms If there is TO he any material reduc-
ton in the tariff. Secretary Fosters esti-
mate for customs income for next fiscal
year on the basis of the Mckinley tariff
Was $2i0. ooo.0oo which would give but a
very small surplus. Secretary Carlisle
admits that no great reduction can be
made without finding some new source of
revenue All the Democratic members Of
the senate committee on finance. except
Mcpherson. favor an income tax. Without
an income tax the necessary revenue will
have 60 be raised by . tar on sugar. coffee,
india rubber and other such articles that
now come in tree, but which. under the
British revenue system. are taxed.
