TO FREE THE WILD CATS.
MI. Cleveland Will Favor the Old
State Banks.
A TAX ON INCOMES TO BE ONE OF
HIS RECOMMENDATIONS.

The Repeal of the Sherman Silver Act and
theModification of the Tariff Law Conn
plete the List of Suggestions to Con.
gress Which it is Reported the Presi-
dent Will Make in His Message.
New YORK, May pa Washington
despatch to the PRESS says: President
Cleveland has decided on four points
in his message to Congress, which indi-
cate the policy of his administration.
They are:
Flrst-An income tax.
Second-Repeal of the 10 per cent. tax
on state banks.
Third-Repeal of the Sherman act.
Fourth-Modifcation of the Tariff act.
This policy was indicated few DAYS
ago by Hon. Benton McMlllin, the prob
able leader of the next House. The
Tennessee Congressman expressed his
own preference as between an income
and an Inheritance tax for the latter
method of. raising revenue. Mr.. ,Cieve-
land did not agree with him, and an in
come tax will be recommended in the
message to Congress.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle have
devoted much time to the study of
means to raise revenue. The present
uncertainty as to what will be the terms
of the new tariff has the tendency to de-
crease importations. No importer will
import goods at the present rate of du-
ties when there is strong probability
that ere long there will be a material de-
crease of duties. Consequently the re1e-
nues OF the government are constantly
decreasing, nor will they increase sufi-
GENTLY when importations are resumed
under the new rates of duty to meet the
expenses of the government
Eastern and many Southern Demo-
Gratis, particularly those from the sugar
producing States, favor tax on sugar.
The Western Democrats oppose the su-
gar tax, as well as a tax on tea or coffee.
Nearly all favor an increase of the tax
on whiskey. Southern and Western
Democrats favor an income tax, but
most of the Eastern Democrats oppose it.
Only the general recommendation of
the establishment of an income tax will
be made by the President. Details will
be left to Congress. Whether there
shall be tax on incomes of $4,000 and
over. or whether the tax shall begin at
only $1,000, are details which MI. Cleve-
land has not considered. In his mes
sage Mr.. Cleveland will advocate the me-
cessity and the practicability of the tax,
leaving all the rest to Congress.
His recommendation of the repeal of
the 10 per cent. tax on the State banks
will be made for essentially the same
reason that brought the repeal plank in
to the Chicago platform as sop to the
Southern members, in order to bring
them to conciliatory frame of mind. In
regard to free silver, Mr.. Cleveland rec
ognizes that the repeal of the Sherman
cessions, and the repeal of theS State bank
tax is one of the concessions he offers to
the Southerners.

WILL PRAY FOR SUNDAY CLOSING.
Presbyterians Adopt Resolutions Concern
ing the Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, May pat todays
session of the Presbyterian General As
sembly the report of the committee on
Sabbath observance was considered.
President Warfeld of Lafayette College,
proposed as an additional recommenda-
tion that on the third Sunday in June
there be sermons preached in all the
churches and prayers offered in behalf of
the effort to keep the gates of the World S
Fair closed Sundays. Rev. Mr.. McAuley
of Dayton, offered another addition that
in case of Sunday opening the exhibit of
the Presbyterian church be removed.
This was considered and adopted.
The report of the committee on educa-
ton was presented by Rev. Thomas D.
Ewing of Iowa. 1t commended the work
of the board and asked the assembly to
give it $3.50, 900 for work next year. Rev.
D. w. Poor, corresponding secretary of
the board, detailed its workings. The
boards debt has been reduced from ST.
900 to 5000. The secretary said the deficit
in the production of preachers was
tremendous fact that the church must
face.

NO DEFECTS IN THE MAcHlAs.
A Report That There Were Called I'm Batl,
Balderdash Pure and simple-Particu-
larly Simple.

BATH, May 22.-The Boston Globe on
Sunday printed despatch from Ports
mouth saying that serious defects in the
gunboat Machias has been discovered,
rust having eaten into the hull and an
attempt having been made to conceal
that fact by covering the imperfections
with putty. The Bath Times tonight
says concerning this report that itat once
sent to Portsmouth for information and
learned that the report was only bit of
sensationalism, the vessel having been
favorably reported on by the Board of
Inspection Friday. Every plate for the
Machias was critically examined by gov
ernment experts both at Pittsburgh and
at Bath and plates in any way defective
were rejected, so that every plate when
it went into the hull was perfect.
Eighteen months have elapsed however
since the Machias was launched, and as
a natural result of the waters ac-
ton. the hull plates have rusted in
places putted'' as the workmen say.
But this is matter with which the Iron
Works has nothing to dot is trouble
which all steel hulls experience.
The talk about trying to cover up de-
fects is balderdash, pure and simple
particularly the latter. The painters
were at work on the hull when she was
ordered to Portsmouth. The men were
at work while the vessel was being ex-
amined, and the inspectors thus had ev-
cry opportunity to see just what was go
ing on. Wherevera a s'pit'' appeared ce-
ment was of course used to give the bot
tom perfectly smooth surface.

A Farm of, Six Hundred Acres.

AUGUSTA, May 22.-The Insane Hospi-
tai farm has been enlarged this spring by
the purchase of $50 acres of land on the
east side of the old lot, making the total
acreage about 900 acres. This purchase
was made with view of raising a sufi-
cient amount of farm products to supply
the needs of the institution.

pected will be built very soon; and vote
of the same character was carried in
favor of the proposed milk condensing

with John L. Sullivan, in which John is
quoted as saying that be NAV vet sue

thenticity of the Interview.

THOMAS AND THE FAIR.
The Musical Director Tells Why He Does
Not Resign.

The Musical Director Tells Why He Does
Not Resign.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The delay of
Theodore Thomas in answering the re-
quest for his resignation of the musical
department of the Worlds Fair is prob
ably due to the consultation he is having
with his warmest friends, who are all
New Workers. A letter dated on Friday
was received here, in which he detailed
in full his side of the controversy. land
spoke in his bitter habit of the treatment
to which he had been subjected. He
said that he would resign if he knew
who his successor was to be, but the
Chicago directory had not the slightest
idea of the man who would fill his place.
In such a situation the directory thought
it far from expedient for him to leave
the musical programme when there was
nobody to carry it out.
In reviewing the matter with several
New York musicians, the fact was clear
that Theodore Thomas is not considered
competent for the post of musical direct
or, aud for that reason should have re-
tired long ago. His retirement on the
pretext that he was in dishonest rela-
tions with manufacturer does not, in
musical circles, hold water. The prac-
tice is too general, and critics and artists
of both American and foreign birth are
openly in approval of the system. Pad
erewsky and Joseffy have sanctioned It,

and the only dishonesty possible, accord
ing to the musical mind, is the use of in
ferior instruments, under bribe. The
manufacturers of the highest grade in
struments pay the heaviest subsidies,
though the great majority of musicians
and music teachers get nothing more than
an instrument free on condition that thew
use no other make. The subsidy in one
instance is $4,000 a year, and it may be
mentioned that the subsidy paid to The
dOre Thomas is about that figure.

considered as the Swiftest of Cruisers.
Different nations have different ways
OF measuring the speed of their men-of-
war. Often in England a new ship is
required to steam a mile in smooth
water only, and if she reaches in that
brief squirt the rate of speed required in
the plans or contract, the government is
satisfied. The larger British vessels of
late, however, have been tested in a run
of several hours duration. French sbins
are tried over q six mile course, but once
year they are also given speed trials in
the Mediterranean, where the conditions
of wind and water are usually more
favorable than in the Atlantic. Probably
no foreign power takes so much pains to
ascertain the exact capacity of its new
warships as the United States. Our
government invariably requires four
hours run at full speed at sea. in which
