THE INCOME TAX.

AS the Atlanta journal SAYS,
those persons and corpora
tions whose income exceeds
81, 900 a year will have to
bear in mind how much that ex-
cess is FOR the federal income tax
applies to this years income and
in due time the deputy internal
revenue collector will be around
and demand a settlement. The
new tariff bill provides:
That from and after the first
day of January, eighteen hun
dred and nincty-fve, and until
the first day of January, nine
teen hundred there shall be as
sessed, levied, collected and paid
annually upon the gains, profits,
and income received in the prece-
ding calendar year by every citi-
zen of the United States, whether
residing at home or abroad, and
every person residing therein,
whether said gains, profits, or
income be derived from any kind
of property, rents, interest, divi-
dends, or salaries, or from any
profession, trade, employment
or vocation, carried on in the
United States or elsewhere, OF
from any other source whatever,
a tax of two per cent on the
amount so derived over and
above four thousand dollars, and
q like tax shall be levied, col
lected, and paid annually upon
the gains, profits and income

from all property owned and of
every business, trade or profes-
sion carriedN on in the United
States by persons residing with
out the United States. And the
tax herein provided for shall be
assessed, by the commissioner of
internal revenue and collected,
and paid upon the gains, profits,
and income for the year ending
the thirty-tirst day of December
next preceding the time for levy
ing, collecting and paying said
tax"
AS to the tax on corporations
the bill provides:
THAT there shall be assessed,
levied and collected, except as
herein otherwise provided, a tax
of two per centum annually on
the net profits OF income above
actual operating and business
expenses, including expenses for
materials purchased for, manu-
facture, or bought for resale,
losses and interest on bonded and

companies, railroad, canal, turn

press, electric light, gas, water,
street railway companies, and all
other corporations, companies
or associations doing business
for profit in the United States,
no matter how created and or
ganized, but not including part
nerships."
Some of the New York papers
which have fought the income
tax idea so ferociously are
makinga great to do" over the
fact that congress has failed to
appropriate any money to carry
out the provisions of the in

doubleday an oversight, but we
have it on the authority of Mr..
Miller, the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, that it will not
be permitted to interfere with
the enforcement of the law.
Congress will be in session again
before any money is needed for
this purpose. The opponents OF
the income tax say that they
will oppose any appropriation
for this purpose and will at the
next session Of Congress endea.

opposition to the Democratic

Grover Cleveland,
We beg the pardon Of all good
people for drawing this con

striking relief the pigmy and
the giant.
The ARGUS urges upon its
readers, and the masses gen
orally in North Carolina, to weigh
WELT the situation and read closely
and carefully the lines of these
two letters; and if they read
them with honest purpose and
patriotic desire to learn the
truth and do the right their con
victions will not be amiss.
Grover Cleveland says:-and

gorune September 2e, 1884,

OH seeing the hysterical Young woman
or the woman whose artificial anima-
ton is associated with loud voice and
who talks for the benefit of the crowd,
he would regard us as vulgar. Ameri-
cans are not any of these things, but
simply the victims of neglect.
Without being made obviously and
aggressively artificial, the American
woman can be made graceful and suf-
ficiently dignifed without losing every
appearance of amiability- 1t is no
more natural to walk after the manner
of St. Vitus, with jerkiness, which is a
common fault with American girls,
than with graceful swing. 1t is GER
tainly no more difficult to acquire a
free and charming walk than the walk
which seems to dislocate the hip joint,
and which was highly popular among
school girls a few years ago. Some
thing has been gained for tall and
long limbed women by the tragic Del
sarte walk, but it is not adapted to the
young women who are most in need of
training, and who carry themselves as
though they are on two jointless sticks
and are in constant haste.
1t is well worth while for the young
woman to pay good deal of attention
to her walk. Also to the meditation
of her voice and to her pronunciation,
both of which are neglected by school
instructors. The American girl has
brains, high ideas, a sense of humor
and good nature, besides the distinctly
domestic virtues. Almost her sole
faults are those we have mentioned,
and they are easily corrected.

A SINNER AND A SAINT.

From the Contemporary Review.
The late Ma Ju-Lung was formerly
commandments in Yunnan. A
memorial was presented to the emperor
by certain local nota bilities, stating
his good works and praying that
posthumous honors might be conferred
on him. He had distinguished himself
in the great Mohammedan rebellion Of
May, 1870 First and last" said they,
she was instrumental in killing over
ten thousand of the enemy, and in his
own person practically decided the fate
of Yunnan." The emperor duly con-
sidered the statements set forth
in the memorial, and before
long issued the gratifying decree
in the Pekin Gazette that the
highest honors possible to be accorded
to one of Ma Ju-Lung's rank be con-
ferred on his spirit: that a temple be
erected in the capital of Yunnan, and
that his deeds be recorded by the state
historiographer.
Ma Ju-Lung was therefore duly beati.
fed and cannonized; he was to be wor-
shipped as saint. But the number of
the Gazette containing these announce
ments struck rage and despair into the
breasts of many in Yunnan. In their
eyes the upstart saint was a good-for-
nothing scamp, and his admirers were
pettifogging traders. In the rebellion
he was traitor and sold himself to the
enemy. If he was instrumental in
killing ten thousand of the Moham-
medans, he massacred, when in their
pay, at least forty thousand Chinese.
All this they set forth in a counter
memorial, with much more besides.
Did he not ride in a yellow chair and
in all things do as he pleased?" Did he
not, when ordered to use green chair,
again enter into treacherous negotia-
tions with the Mohammedans? If the
honors bestowed upon him are not
withdrawn the memorialists express a
fear that tens of thousands of innocent
souls whom he sent to hades will be
unable to close their eyes for indigna-
ton. After some delay, in reply to
this counterblast, comes a highlyim-
portant and noteworthy decree from
the emperor, published. as usual, in
the Pekin Gazette. He had con-
sidered the second memorial, and now
declared that, since the erection of
temple to spirit could only be permit
ted where the people were practically
unanimous in its favor, that portion of
his decree relating to the temple should
be Cancelled.
But as blame and praise seemed in
the present instance to be equally ap-
portioned, the rank conferred on Ma
Ju-Lung's spirit was to stand good, and
mis- deeds were still TO be recorded by
the state official appointed for such du-
ties. Observe that the important part
of this decree is the recognition of the
vox popuii as identical to great ex-
tent with the voX Del

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

From the New York Press,
Part of the growing difficulties occa-
stoned by the desertion of the country
and the crowding of the cities will be
remedied, perhaps, by six years hence
in that wonderful year 1900, which
electricians set as mile post of hui
man progress-by the browning of
steam's rival. Machinery is rapidly
taking the deadening drudgery out of
farm work, is making it more profita-
BILE when conducted scientifically and
on large scale, and is causing it to at
tract the attention of city people who
long for the healthful fields. Only the
bodily discomforts of farm work have
prevented an exodus from the cities to
the country. Already electricity is
turning IFS attention to the long-neg-
lected farm work, and has discovered
profitable results to be had by subject
ing crops TO currents of electricity. It
IS beginning to simplify the ponderous
farm machinery, and as soon as the
storage battery has received its finish
ing touches and can be applied to
Tightening the farmers toll and in
cr.asing his profits the farmer viii be
looked upon with envy by the prison
ers of city streets and coun ting-house
walls. Those particular effects OF
electricity upon farm machinery
and farm life are, however,
visible chiefly in the imagination
be realized in six years; but one great
change may be looked for in this direc-
ton in the immediate future, and that
is the improvement of the farmers con-
uition by means CT good roads and tho
rapid transit which electricity is al
most ready to bring, thus greatly en-
larging his market and bringing him
higher prices for fresher products, and
also bringing him closer TO the life and
pleasure and stimulating effect of the
city. There is to be a wonderful
change in farm life in the more thickly
settled parts of the country IN very
few years and rapid transit will be
largely responsible for il.
The cheap transmission OF electrical
power must bring soon many changes
that will be felt in the city household,
and perhaps the chief of them will be
the abolition of the cook stove, as il is
known at present. The small electric
heater has already begun 10 take
its place, and it is almost certain that
even in six years coal will be banished
from a majority OF the kitchens in cities
adjacent to water power, from which
electricity Is generated. When heat is
wanted for cooking purposes II viii be
had at a moments notice by the press
ing of button.
