A Republican paper says that the
''incomc tax is entirely unnecessary,
and wholly aud soteiv for surplus and
not for revenue" What nonsense is
this in face OF the fact that the expend
itures OF the last fiscal year, ending
une 80, showed deficit in revenue of
more tl4an S75, 000, eco, and that from
the present condition Of the treasury
and the outlook of trade and commerce
for he next year, there can be no rea
sonable hope for having surplus in
the tr5 asury for Il long time to come.
The income tax is just as necessary for
revenue only as the tobacco tax, or the
VIII skey tax, or, in fact, any tax that
is contained in the tariff bill.-Lyach-

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not imme
diately fatal it is among the most
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh
is heir to, and the records show very
few OF no cases of radical cure of
chronic catarrh by any of the many
modes of treatment until the introduc
ton of Ely's Cream Balm Il few years
ago. The success OF this preparation
has been most gratifying and surpris-
ing. No druggist is without it.

Opportunities.

Some one has said that ''every face
ought to be beautiful at 49," and another
that ''no old person has right to be
ugly, because he has had all his life in
which to grow beautiful" That is to
say that life's opportunities of noble
ness, of even 40 years of opportunity, if
well used, are enough to make so much
beauty within that it cannot help COM
ing to the surface in graceful habits Of
the nerves and muscles. The transfig-
uration of q pleasant smile, kindly light
ings to the eyes, restful lines of self con-
troll about the lips, pure shining of the
face as great thoughts kindle inwardly--
these things no parent makes inevitably
ours and no ftful week or two of good
ness gives them, and no schooling of the
visage either, but only habitual noble
ness and graciousness within, and this
will give them all. Nor does a wise man
think he has watched the quick express
sions which fit across the face uncon-
sciously. The truth will out and in
these flashing motions sometimes we
catch the rascals under handsome
mask, and sometimes catch the angel
where we had not looked for one.-Rev.

week or 10 days before Auditor Cone
VIII be in position to furnish COM
plete statement of the matter to the

make prosecution impossible. 1t has
been stated already how he re-
celpied to the county treasurer for the

departure for Boise, to destroy them, as
he was observed looking over them

Charles Theis of Thels & Barroll of

on a recent visit TO Spokane, and PROM

had been genuine, would have been in

The legal questions involved in the
case are so puzzling as to be Incapable

gentleman from West Virginia is concerned
aud bis compatriots, there is not the slight
est necessity for my commenting on the
difference between this sense of sorrow and
the triumphai procession which carried
him out of this house ILaughterl. II
Is unfortunate for that gentleman and his
compatriots that they have had to contend
with gentlemen of so much m ore capacity
and skill. Undoubtedly the house confer
rees meant we'll. Undoubtedly their Inten-
tions were honorable, but they were no
match for gentlemen whom they met in the
other branch. They were not so skilfil as
those men. Why, our conferrses come back
