The Income Tax Idea.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Representa.
tive McMillin's subcommittee OF the
Democratic members Of the ways and
means committee on internal taxes
held two sessions at the capitol this at
ternoon, considering the question of an
income tax. The members OF the com.
mittee stated that they had not consid'
cred whiskey, but only the better plan
of imposing tax on incomes. To-
night the Democratic members of the
committee met at Secretary Carlisles
home for another conference. The
Secretary is understood to be unfriend:
" to the proposition to tax individual
incomes, and 1t Is still probable that
the solution of the matter will be q
compromise which will impose the tax
mainly on legacies and corporations.
The proposition Is supported by the
conservative members of the Demo
cratic majority-Wilson, Turner, Mont
gomery, Stevens and Cochran. There
Is no suggestion of reciprocity in the
new tariff bill, although it has been
said In some quarters that that matter
has been left hanging in tho air. "lf
there is anything in the bill as 1t noW
stands that favors reciprocity, 1t Will
not be there when the bill becomes 8
law" said Chairman Wilson. "By re.
ciprocity, I mean" he continued, "that
power vested in the President under
the Mckinley act to regulate tariffs by
proclamation. Such a policy will be
cast out of the House, root and branch
Every mail that now reaches Washing
ton brings with 1t numerous letters
and petitions addressed to the ways
and means committee. urging 1t to In
crease the tax OF whiskey to $l.5O a
gallon. 1t appears that the religious
and temperance bodies throughout the
country have taken up the subject, the
activity being especially noticeable
among the Presbyterians.

The provisions in the act which seem

The provisions in the act which seem
to guard the rights Of taxpayers by
providing for an election before the
contrrct Is made or the bonds Issued,
are delusive. They do not guard against
the use of non-tax.payers at the poles
to carry such a measure and there is
plenty of room for collusion or fraud
between the authorities or town or
city and the sewerage company, as to
the amount to be paid for the work. l
therefore cannot approve it.
AS to the first and third bills men,
toned the vetoes were sustained with
out discussion. Senator John G. Evans
thought that the sewerage bill had been
limited in application to the city OF
Columbia, in which opinion Senator
Sloan agreed, but q reference to the
Journal proved otherwise and the vote
was adopted without futher question.
A concurrent resolution was receiv-
ed from the House fixing Friday, Dec.
1st for the election of q register Of
rnensne conveyances for Charleston
county. Senator Wilson moved to
amend by fixing the same day, and
Immediately after that election for the
election to the vacant Judgeships and

as amended was then concurred In.

The Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The fight
for an income tax virtually has been won
80 far as the Democratic members Of the
ways and means committee are con.
cerned. They stand eight to three in
favor of the tax, and it is extremely un-
likely that anything will occur between
now and Monday to change this sltua.
ton. The history of the income tax as
levied and COLLECTED thirty years ago is
full of valuable suggestions at this time
and will serve an effective purpose when
the debate opens IN the house. For
the fiscal year ending July, 1863, the
levy was 3 per cent. on all incomes OF
5000 and not over 100000. and S per
cent. on all incomes OF $40, 900 AMI up.
ward. The number of persons who
paid under that law $20 or less was C3,-
O85. The number paving over $20 and
under $50 was 42.947. The number
paying over $50 and under $l00 was 2s,.
936. The number paving over 900 and
under $500 was 54,778. The number
paying over $500 was 50,388. The to-
I'll number OF persons who paid taxes
on incomes in that year was trifie over
240, 900. These things are, Of course,
different from those. Wealth has great
ly Increased, and the population Of the
country has more than doubled. It will
not be be necessary now to fix the
minimum of accessible incomes as low
as $500. The likelihood is that it will
oe fixed at ,000 Even al that figure,
and with population estimated at TO-
100000, the tax will be paid by not
more lhan $4,000 persons. This shows
that the tax will fall where it is designed
to fall, on the small minority whose
wealth makes 1t just taat they saod,d
be called upon to help pay the
public burdens. The proposition to in.
crease the per cent. with the AMOUNT of
the income will not be adopted. It il
considered that that might give con-
munislic color to the tax foreign to it's
real nature and to the design of tie
committee. The rate of the tax has yet
to be fixed. Those members Of the
committee who are urging an in
come tax are greatly encouraged ny
what the record shows and suggests.
The highest amount collected
while the law was IN force
was a72,000,000 in 1866, and had
the law been continued In force, even
at two.thirds Of the the rate then levied,
the whole of the public debt would have
been paid, ths new navy built and the
rivers and harbors Improved bv the
money collected from that source

sions. it is predicted that the body will
come back after Christmas for week
more. OF course the principal thing to
engage the attention of the Legislature

is to be continued. In thus connection
it is we'll to say that great many sur
prlses are in store not only for the Ii.

that the election of the five judges will

OVER IN THE SENATE.

One minute before the city clock
struck twelve yesterday, Lieutenant
Governor Gary raped the Senate to
order. The call Of the roll showed
nearly all the Senator'S present. Sens.
tor Hazard, of Georgetown, and Sena.
tor Williams, Of Williamsburg, were
absent, as was Senator Smytbe, of
Charle sieD. but the latter c,me in be.
fore business had gotten we'll under
way.
The scene presented by the Senators
was the usual one to be observed each
November. Everything was decorous
and placioly dien,tied, but there was a
curious, indiscribable look on some of
the notsbles. 1t was an air of dreamy,
far. away conte mplation which they
wore. Possibly II was due to the mlld
sunlight which seems 10 shine less
boldly and fercely on the venerable
Senator's and prematurely grave young
Senators than Oh less impor.a pr
sonsges, but whatever the cause, the
appear nee was vIsib!y present and
gave an interest to tie aSsemblage e
which il otherwise might have lacked.
One could almost imagine that the
pale young statesman with aspiration
stamped Cn his brow, seated in the ex-
ecutiVe Office down stairs was press
ing the buttop," while all the others
cheerfully "old the rest" On the op.
posite side Of the chamber sat another
in whose ear one could almost with the
naked eye see the gubernatorial bee
monotonousIy buzzing.

i
l. And a certain man who was with.
!, out guile, patient, long suffering and
full of meekness, went down In a far
country to start q newspaper.
2. And divers publicans and sinners,
beholding him, said one to another:
8. Behold now a man without guile; a
greenhorn from way back. and suck
er from the borders Of Kansas.
4. OF surety now we have q soft
snap. and we will make the GENTLE ex-
ceedingly weary.
5. Wherefore they went up into the
sanctum of the man without guile, even
the newspaper man and said unto him;
6. Lo!Now we will take thy paper
and we will pay thee thus: In wood OF
oak, of hickory and Of cotton wood, in
butter, chickens and hen fruit.
z. And the editor said: It is we'll,
and he went apart and covered his
face with his mantle and wept for JOY.
8. And he lifted his voice and said:
Oh Lord, T thank thee that thou hast
led me beside these so still waters aud
caused me to lie down In these green
pastures.
9. And it came to pass, that the
weather waxed cold, and the editol
would fain have warmed himself by q
fire Of the wood Of oak or hickory or
cottonwood. Also he fain would have
taken of the hon fruit and the butter.
10. But when he said to the publicans
and sinners: Do now as ye promised,
behold they laughed him to scorn and
said unto him: Rats! Come OH! ana
give'us q rest! Behold now thou max
est us exceedingly tired.
II And the editors spirit Waxed
faint, and he died, and was taken up IN.
to Abraham's bosom.
IL. And in the fullness Of time the
publicans and sinners died also and 1t
was not so that they did 60 to Abra.
hams bosom-not by an exceedingly
long shot.
Is. But fends from the nethermost
pit environed them and hauled them to
place OF torment.
IA. And when they cried out because
| the thermometer was passing high
then would the Gends mock them say
ing: Rat-l Come off and give Us
rest! Behold now thou makest us ex.
ceedingly tired.
Is. Wherefore bretheren let lis arise
and fetch wood unto the printer, lest
we be even as the publicans aud sin.
ners. Behold the winter cometh when
no man can haul wood.

ment making the salary of the solicitor

Messrs. Bacot and Tupper stated thnt
this officer had twice as much work to

suggested that it be placed at $1,000,
which was agreed to.
Mr.. Buists amendment to reduce the
salary of the clerk of the Senate to
$500 was agreed to.
During discussion concerning the
time for the bill to 60 into operation

the report Of Mr.. Breazeale concern
ing the revision of the State laws to

A concurrent resolution providing for
the election of judges al l O'Clock Satur-
day was badly squelched. Mr.. Blease
opposed it on the ground that there was
a bill to redlstri"t the State, and the late

Whitman favored the reduction, saying
that tie commissioners could attend to

Mr.. Watson of Anderson favored Mr..
