with soft. pale-yellow silk stretched
across, and on 1t laid most delicate para
soils and fans painted in brilliant colorings.
On small upright stands were placed some
exquisite spring hats.
First gave my attention to the fans

brilliant figures painted on them, ana
broad dashes of light being flashed from
the sides on the central figure, which was
usually some damsel with voluminous
drapery ascending lightly toward the
heavens, borne on delicate, airy clouds.
The parasols were worthy Of the deepest
admiration. I paid them full homage.

But the great fight of tho carnival will
be that between Joe Goddard and Ed
Smith, the Denver boy. Goddard has
been training with the utmost care. He
has more than the purse of $l0 600 at stake.
With him success means the possibility OF
fight with Corbett. That is what brought
him to America, and that seems to be
the sole end he has in view just
now. Goddard is an Australian. and
Americans are just now measuring
him by his last battles. His last
great Australian battle was fought be-
fore the Melbourne Athletic Club with
Ned RYAN, clever heavyweight, in Janu-
airy, 1892, and four rounds sufficed to quiet
his opponent. Last July he encountered
Joe McAuliffe before the Pacific Athletic
Club. The fight was for purse of S.. 600.
and money flowed in freely from the East
on McAulitfe. Fourteen rounds were
needed to finish the latter, and he was the
worst whipped man that ever left ring.
Goddard's last fight, before the Coney
Island Athletic Club, was against Peter
Maher. whom he defeated in three rounds
Goddard's popularity is his ability to
stand punishment, but in addition to this
1t must be admitted that he has a fair
amount of science, although by no means
as quick as Smith, his opponent. Ed
Smith has much to learn in this fight. 1t
is his first battle to attract national at
tention, and naturally he is expected to
feel somewhat uneasy. He is, however. q
cool fighter, q quick man and hard hit

The sports who will crowd to New

general and q splendid 'in-fghter." It
must be conceded that he had the best of
the fight from the start. and could have
won earlier in the game had he stretched
his powers to the utmost. In December
he DEBATED O'Connell as easily, and then
the Olympic Club made its offer for
a fight between him and Ryan. Tom
Ryan is . Chicago boy, with q rec
ord that must etill be classed as purely
local, Notwithstanding the fact that he
holds the title of champion Of America
in his class. But in all his contests he
evinced wonderful hitting powers, an agil-
ity that is said to be good deal like that
of Corbett, and a rapidity of arm move
ment that borders on the marvellous.
This, coupled with splendid power of en-
durance, completes the reasons why Chi
cago sports are betting 50 heavily on their
man. Both men are welterweights, and
the fight is for the worlds championship
in that class. Ryan has been in training
at Bay st. Louis. where Bob Fitzsimmons
is preparing for his big match with Jim

INCOME TAX.

The government has for years past
raised the principal part of its reve
nue. from a tariff tax, which ,ax, as
has so often been explained, bears
down upon class unabl. to longer
stand its burdens. When the tariff
is reduced it is possible the revenue
from this source may also be re.
duced If so, the government will
be compelled to devise some other
plan for raising the revenue needed
by the government to meet obllga
tions incurred under the lavish ex-
penditures and appropriate ms of the
last administration. To do this,
the income tax is clearly the most
feasible, Just and equitable plan.
Such tax would in no sense be a
class tax, and to state that it would
is clearly fallacy. 1t would be
clearly property tax, just such a
tax as that levied by state and city
governments upon real estate in
their several Jurisdictions. The
man who owns ten thousand acres of
land pays on it and never thinks of
complaining because his neighbor
pays only on two hundred acres.
Again, the man who only has GER
tain amount of household and
kitchen furniture pays no tax upon
that class of property, while the
man who his more pays tax on the
excess An income tax is prop
erty tax and is in no sense class
tax. 1t is true the great mass of
the working people, whose toll in
connection with capita ere ltes all
the wealth of the nation, would not
feel the burden of an income tax,
but there is not one Of them but
would, with the income, gladly take
up the burden.
1t is to be expected, and quite
natural, that those who possess the
kind of property to be affected by
an income tax will object to it, and
will use all the Influence which |
heir vast wealth gives them to de.
.eat such tax, but they will learn
