railroad company offers to pay the 90

understood that this agreement Is In
no way to forestall the county's right
to collect the full assessment with
penalty, should the courts confirm
the legality Of the same.

New YORK tribune.
The income tax affords the most
facile means Of raising money. Its
imposition does not disturb trade like
the introduction OF a new tariff, and
1t has the further advantage that 1t
raises money from that body Of peo-
pie whose fewness makes them least
dangerous at the polling. booth. The
working classes pay only as consumers
by indirect taxation. The upper
classes have just the same tariffs, but
with the tax upon incomes as an ad.
ditional burden. There is no unfair
ness in the principle Of the impost
which draws a distinction between
the rich man and the poor man.

Occasionally plutocratlc newspa.
per if moved by a lapse Of enthusiasm
and temporary feeling of justice Ia
admit the truth. The following from
the Kansas City Star of last Monday
night afford the same information for
our Republican contemporary down
on the border:
The great howl about the new mort
gage law that is supposed to be driving
capital from Kansas is nonsense \
half dozen states east Of the MiSSiSS-
ippi have laws that are equally sin
furious to capital. The people of
Kansas are no worse because Of their
politics to-day than they we're ten
years ago when capital was so anxious
to get into the state. The same peO-
pie are there now who vert there then.
lfthe Eastern investors are awakening
to their foolishneSs about Kansas and
are coming back to the haryeSt,-they
dle simply showing tnelr g00d sense In
placing their money where nature pro-
yides the safest security.
The eastern people seem to be just
finding out that all the noise about
Kansas people being in favor of re-
pudiatiOn were lies, pure and simple,
circulated by a lot of discarded poll
ticiOnS like the editors of the Caldwell
NewS-the remnants of putreScent
and evanescent political party.

A Sensible Undertaking.
Iowa Tribune.

Iowa Tribune.
General Master Workman Sover-
elgn, of the Knights of Labor, is un-
deotaking to secure an injunction 10
restrain the secretary Of the treasury
from making the contemplated in
crease Of bonds. Without undertake
ing to express an opinion which
might be calculated to forcStall in
any way the action Of the court in
the matter, we may state the sub
stance Of the law bearing on the Ques-
tlon OF authority at present vested in
the secretary Of the treasury.
The act Of January Ii, 1875, 1.-THE
Resumption act) gives the secretary
OF the treasury authority to issue
bonds for one specific purpose and
one only, namely: TO redeem the
United States notes which might be
outstanding at the date when the
Resumption act should 20 into ef-
feet, January |, 1879. This act. it
will be observed, might be so con-
Strued, without unfairneSS, as to give
the secretary the power he claims,
but 1t is practically annulled as re-
CARDS this point by the act of May 81,
1878, which prohibits the secretary,
from and after the date OF its pas
sage from retiring any Of the legal
tenders then outstanding.
So long, then, as the act of May 81,
1878, is unrepealed the secretary Of
the treasury is prohibited from doing
the only thing for the accomplish
inert OF which the act Of January II,
1915, authorized him to issue bonds.
As he was never authorized to make
an Increase Of the bonded debt, under
existing laws, for any other purpose
than that of doing what the act Of
May 81, 1878, prohibits him from do
Ing, be is certainly assuming much
responsibility IN making, or attempt
ing to make, any such increase as he
is reported to have in contemplation,
in the bonded debt.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Sovereign
will persevere in his laudable effort
to prevent any increase Of the bonded
debt by the action Of the secretary OF
the treasury.

The ST. Louis Republic in an open
letter says: "This is no time for
private indulgence to take liberties
with the vitality Of the DemOcratie>
party" 1t might have added neiUher>
is it time for the Democratic party
to take liberties with the vitality OF
the whole country.
Oklahoma has a banker for gov
ernOr and banker for treasurer
! Standard,
NathiHg strange about that. The
Democratic administration appears
partial to bankers.
If there were no great appOintive
power in the hands of the administra-
tion, then senators and representa-
tives might work for the approval Of
the people, instead Of bowling to the
dictates Of the president.
Carlisle is only one Of the automatic
tools of plutOcracy. His scheme to
defy congress and the people is not
original, but simply according to or
ders from the great milliOnaires un-

We bet that congressman were
more deeply interested ia accounts Of
the prize fight than In the accounts
Of destitution, starving and freezing
chrOnicled In the same papers.
How much, think yeu, do the we'll
fed tools Of monopoly care about the
relief Of the people-and, how much
do you think they know about chang
ing conditions, il they would.
You wonder at the foolish express
sions OF milli0naires In regard to the
income tax. But please remember
they control the government and
speak with authority.

Where earthly mists obscure not Truth

Cancels disease, reclothes the leper's bones

As though with infants flesh: takes from our

The pate de foip gras l. one -

taste TO enjoy it. Nowadays it -
found on the bills Of fare of all the
first class restaurants. The finest
pates de foies gras come from StraS
burg.
Here is the way the young gees
ara prepared in Strasburg for this
culinary masterpiece: Up to the age
OF six months they run loose in "a
grass field. They are then put b.
themselves in pens and are so closely
confined hat they can really only
wiggle their beaks. These pens, or
cages, are arranged tier upon tier
The geese are fed at regular times
and stuffed 10 repletion. Some five
or SIX strong farm women attend 10
this
They take the goose by the neck,
and with a rude wooden spoon.
while they squeeze its beak, open
with the left hand and poke into the
gullet with their right boiled corn
meal. 1t takes from 10 to 20 days of
this enforced feeding to enlarge the
liver to an abnormal size.
In the first days Of feeding the
geese become apoplectic, and 1t Is
necessary to take them by the feet
in pulling them out of the cage and
to handle them carefully. This is to
avoid cerebral congestion. Whe1
the liver is thought to be sufficiently
swollen, which is known by the de
formed condition of the bird, they
are killed
A sharp knife is drawn across the
base of the skull. This sewers thf
principal vertebra. Without wait
ing for the bird to cool he is rapidly
stripped of his feathers and hung IN
itAe open air. In Alsace and notably
q Schiltigheim the houses are de-
GRATED from top to bottom with thes'
hanging geese.
TIE stomach is opened by a SINGH
ali of q long, sharp blade, and tn
delicate liver is extracted whole. II
france this great delicacy can b
bought for a moderate price. abou
20 to SO cents of our money.
The livers undergo a severe exanl
