The Income Tax.

We haye not looked into the matter carefully,
but We think IL may bc set down AZ certain that
II law imposing graduated tax upon all IN
comes exceeding $4,000 we're enacted, New
York city would under such a Law pay more
money into the National Treasury than all Tue
southern States together The number OF Ia
incomes In that city IL very large. Boston, too,
would contribute much 20 the support OF the
government II such law were passed In fact
Boston has. We suppose, more Accumulated
wealth Ia proportion 10 population than New
York city.-Riehmond Dspateh.
Then why should not Virginia people favor a
graduated tax? They should. These mil
h0naires are already vigorously kicking agains
IN taI. They prefer o heavy tax ON sugar
coffee and tea-the poor mans Injuries. Grea
wealth must not go longer untaxed. Although
the mills Of the gods grind excee iingy slow they
grlud very fine, ami the poor bread-producer'
will yet make rich men help 20 bear the burdens
OF governmeni.-Lou County Aeirs.
The Noes published the above before
Speaker CRISP had come out in favor of an
income tax. That he regards it as safe
for HIM TO favor such tax may be assured
20 he fact. And If he fayors it, and the
President favors his candidacy FOR
Speaker, then we may be sure that the
administration is friendly TO an income
tax. What the Mugwumps and Free
Traders will do If Mr.. CLEVELAND should,
IN his next message to Congress, recon-
mend such tax. we cannot imagine.
There will he much gnashjng of teeth
amongst GoDK1N's followers. We fear
that even some of the northern tariff re-
formers would rather have the MCKINLEY
tariff than an income tax, We shall see
what we shall see.

[Goyernor Flower on July 3D..

II am glad to be with you on this his
toric ground TO-DAY. As i look over this
valley am reminded of the Spartans Of
old, who taught their sons to till the
ground and be fighters at the same time
The MacedoniRns, on the other hand
taught their sons 10 fight aud had then
slaves TO till the ground. The southern
ers. like the Macedonians, had slaves &c
till the ground and taught their sons TO be
gentlemen and fight II necessary The
northerners were tillers of the ground and
educated 10 believe in the institutions oil
this country and its method of govern
ment. They did not begin to understand
what the war meant until after Antietam
but when the southerners came TO sur
round Washington the ideas of govern
ment which we taught our children begaI
to show themselves.
When you soldiers came here to DC
your work you killed two birds with one

YOU saved the Union. This hill NittlC

The Rules Of the House.

Three wears ago we came out In favor OF
ruch a change IN the rules OF the House
OF Representatives as would enable the
Democrats 20 control the legislation OF
that BODY. We said then, as we say now,
that TO allow the Republicans to force
through their measures when they have
such Speaker as REED in the chair, and
20 forbid the Democrats when they are IN
power b. adopt suoh rules as they must
have If they are TO be capable of utilizing
their strength in the House of Representa-
tivos. is 70 play a losing game with your
ewes open TO the disastrous consequences
Of your unwise conduct
Dir. GLADSTONE found il necessary 70 re-
eort 10 what is styled closure" in order
60 enable him to use his majority in the
House Of Commons in the enactment OF
such laws rs he thinks are demanded 10y
the condition OF things in the United
Kingdom. and especially in Ireland. For
a long time he rcfrain0d from resOrtlng 20
tins means of closing debate, but he found
at last that the so-called debates in the
House of Commons were but burlesque
upon that freedom of speech which was
pleaded as opposed TO oil attempts to
smother debate. but which was nothing
but a ouphouious name for unjustihable
parliamentary proceedings and rules. 1t
was the majority Of the House of Com
mons that were suffering the wrongs of
intcrmiuable debate. Whenever, there
fore, the majority is bound band
and foot by Hits own rules, aud
the minority prevents the legislation
which the majority feels bound
20 secure, il is time TO "overhaul" the
rules which make all attempts 10 legislate
nothing better than a farce, and clothes
the minority with power which should be
entrusted to the majority IL cannot be
right for a dellborative assembly such as
the British House of Commons or the
American House Of Representatives 20
hbdicate its functions, and thus convert
what ought TO be an affirmative power in
the majority into anegatlye power in the
minority.
When in 1871 the Wings In this country
obtained possession of the House of Re
presentaf yes and proposed TO adopt n rule
limiting speeches TO one hour each, the
was heard from Maine TO Georgia. 1t was
thought 10 be a mOnstYOus wrong to shut
up a congTessman's mouth at the end of
an hour. Vow look at the rules of the
same body as they were administered by
Gar RETp. and YOU Will realize how the
world has moved in the last fifty years.
and Will be apt TO conclude that the logic
of events will make it necessary for the
Democrats IN the House of Representa-
tives soon to assemble in Washington to
exercise the power which their majority
In that body makes it their duty to exer-
eise. The peoples patience is worn out
xith the manner in which dilatory rules
operate. aud they desire to have their re-
eresentatiyes in Congress shoulder the re-
lponsib,lity of legislation, and trust to
them TO uphold the majority in al their
Efforts to carry out the will of the voters
n this was expressed at the ballot-box
when our present congressman were
elected.

Along Electric Road.

The railroad conference held last week
in Lincoln, Neb., adopted resolutions in
favor of a north-and-south electric railway
through the trans-M Mississippi States to
the Gulf Of Mexico. This We take to be a
practicable project. There is to be a
double track from the Gulf TO Topeka,
and thence to Dakota and Duluth, and
other branches. The cost is estimated at
$50. 900, 900. We quote:
at is proposed that the power should be Sc
cured by Harvesting the artesan wells OF Da-
kota the rivers, streams, creeks, and rivulets
along the proposed line and the tides OF the
Gulf Of Mexico
There IS almost unlimited water-power
running TO waste in the southern and east
ern S.ates-power, too, that could be
used. The power of the tides IS immense,
but has not yet been made to serve the
purposes Of man 10 any considerable ex-
tent. SO az TO artesan wells. And as
to the winds, they ought TO be harnessed
up instead of being allowed TO VISIT de-
struction upon the people.

LLoYDs, Va. July L. The announcement
bv neatly-printed cards that the marriage
at Upper Essex church OF Miss Kate Lind
sey Cammack and William Ashby Gresham
would be there solemnized at the hour
therein named met with a cordial response
from their numerous friends and admirers
and goodly attendance assem- bled. The
handsome young couple, alighting from
their carriage, proceeded gracefully
up the aisle TO the altar. where
the talented and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
pastor of Centennial Baptist church, in
Tappahannock-Rev. +. B. Beale met
them, and with his Characteristic clear,
impassioned, and impressive tone and
manner confirmed their plighted love by
the pretty ceremony with a plain gold
ring, embIematic of constancy aud purity:
A bridal tour TO the National Capital and
probably 10 the Columbian Worlds Fair was
previously planned. The pretty BRIDE was
attired in handsome travelling suit, and as
soon as the greetings and congratulations
of many friends had been lavishly bestowed
upon the happy twain they entered their
carriage for the depot to take the train for
their contemplated happy journey, and
that their happiest snticipations be real
lied in life's journey are the compliments
of many friends.

Virg MIA and Her Crops.

The yield of wheat in Virginia this sea-
son was good and the growing crops are
in a promising condition.
The prices of all the products of the soil
are. however. very low. 1t they were at a
reasonable mark we should find a greater
degree of contentment among the agri-
culturists OF the State than has prevailed
for long time. As il Is. our farmer friends
are fairly cheerful. They like to see their
fields yielding ebundantly, even though
they have no present prospect of higher
prices.
But We trust better day is coming for
them. They have learned TO live very
economically and are working hard, and
the next favorable turn in prices will en-
able them to put by little money each
year--a thing few of them can row do.
May that turn soon come. Farm products
have really gotten so cheap change will
surely come soon.

Tna plsnatoh and the Council.

Tho Dispatch and the Council.
With reference TO the remarks OF Mr..
Hrxay L. CARrEn msde In the Common
Council night before last challenging the
accuracy of the DKpArcH's report OF that
session Of the body which acted on the
report Of the investigating committee we
have only to say that We have implicit
faith ia the honesty and capacity OF the
gentleman who represented us on that
occasion. His notes made on the spot
and which went unchallenged. as far rs
we know, from June oath to July 3rd are
in our judgment more TO be relied upon
than the memory of Mr.. CAxTra. or those OF
his associates who put their unaided recoi-
leotions against the notes OF that compe-
tent and fair minded reporter.
The truth IL that such persons az CAR
TER have been treated with too much con-
sideration by US in the past. They do not
know how TO appreciate il properly. In
long. rambling TRADE against the report OF
the committee on tho 2Sd ultimo CARTER
left the impression that his views were just
rs they were epitomized by the DISPATCH
report on the point at issue-yiz., that the
public and the newspapers have no right
TO criticlse the action of member Of the
Council"
OF course these were not his Gerry ,corde
nor were they given as such. IL would
have been great waste OF valuable space
and an injustice 10 our readers TO have
printed all that he said. But 10 all intents
and purposes what was given is what
CARTER said.
We now serve notice upon him and all
who wish TO leave one impression on
their auditors by their remarks in the
Council chamber and have another go out
20 the public, that we intend in future TO
pay particular attention to these public
servants and to criticise their acts ss they
deserve TO be criticised.
