FREE SUGAR AND AN INCOME TAX


The decision Of the house of represent
atives to put sugar on the free list may
he accepted as proof that a majority of
that body favor an income tax. That is
and has been the real question in issue
in the fight on the sugar schedule. Ii is
recognized that tax of 1 cent per
pound on sugar would raise a revenue
of about 10000, 600, and that would do
away with any need for income taxa
ton at all. The income tax as provided
for by the bill now in preparation is
probably as satisfactory as any measure
of that kind can be made. II is not
necessarily 'inquisitorial." If man
makes a true return of his income there
is little probability that it will be ques-
toned by the officials. If he commits
perjury no investigation could be more
inquisitorial than he would deserve. The
only Objectionable feature would be re-
curing the disclosure of the income at
all. and that is no more Objectionable
than requiring a sworn statement of
mans property for purposes of taxation.
1t is indeed triumph of popular senti-
ment that the sugar bounty has been
wiped out, and the special tax created

The latest case of foreign snobbism
comes from New York, where Prince Luz
Glen Bonaparte. who is visiting in that
city, turned on his heel and left re-
ception given by Sandow after the lat
ter's performance because the blue-blood-
ed prince saw in the same room a party
of ladies and gentlemen Of the highest
responsibility hailing from Boston.
Whether it was the princes first intro
duction into respectable society and it
proved too much for him or not is not
known, but the Boston people are natur-
ally indignant that they should be con-
sidered as commoners even by a prince.
However. they can retaliate when the
prince visits Boston. which he is sure
to do; they can refuse to run after him
and carry him around on their shoulders

The final overthrow Of prohibition in
IOWA has been brought about through a
decision OF the supreme court that the
prohibitory amendment was never Ie-
galiy adopted. The probabilities are
that the legislature viii repeal the statu-
tory prohibition law. The legislature is
overwhelmingly republican and prohibi-
ton stood for years as a cardinal prin-
ciple in the republican faith in Iowa.
But last year the party formally aban-
doned the principle and elected wet"
legislature. 1t was a clear confession
that in advocating prohibition the re-
publican party had been actuated by a
desire to get votes and not by devotion
TO principle. The vote-getting era in the
life Of prohibition having passed 1t was
dropped Ike a hot potato. 1t is very
probable that the republicans Of Kansas
will follow in the footsteps Of their Iowa
brethren.

Some Of our republican contemporaries
attempt TO excuse the Harrison admin
istration for squandering the surplus ac-
cumulated by Mr.. Cleveland by saying
that it was used TO pay the government
debt. But Harrison did not pay as much
debt as Cleveland did The reduction
of the 7nded debt from March 1, 1855.
TO I. 1889. was 1898, O42. $50. while
from ch l. 1889. to March 1. 1893
It was only 1888 OF, $50. In other words,
Cleveland paid off s17S. $40. $50 more bond
ed debt in four years than Harrison did.
And that is not all. While Cleveland
left handsome surplus to his successor,
Harrison not only exhausted the treas
ury. but created floating debt of S22.-
272,O61- Nothing could be more extrava-
CANT than the Harrison administrs ton.

SCHIEREN %INTERFERES.
Brooklyn Aldermen Make No APP
pOintments To-day.

Fifteen OF the eighteen newly-elected
Republican Aldermen of Brooklyn met in
caucus at the City Hall this morning
to decide upon to whom minor Offices
would be given at this afternoons meet
ing.
Their plans however, were slaughtered
by an announcement by Mayor Schleren
that the names of the pensioners n
persons holding sinecures would not be
tolerated on the city pay-rolls during his
administration
The Aldermen had nine offices to dis
pose OF this afternoon and four others
at a later date. The salaries attached
to these offices range from 1920 to 81, 600
a year.
Mayor Schieren sent word that of the
eighteen offices at the Aldermen's dis
posal he would only approve that of
chief clerk to the Committees, a SER
geant-at-arms and assistant and W
messengers.
if persons were appointed to fill the
other offices, the Mayor said, hic he
regarded as sinecures, such appointments
would promptly receive his veto.
As a result OF Mayor Schieren's an
nouncement the caucus adjourned, the
Aldermen agreeing that no appointments
should be made until next Monday.

LONG ISLAND CITY, l.. l.. Jan. s.
Frank and George Masset. both OF Wood

Kelly. known as the "Lone Star detec-
tive of Long Island City, on suspicion
being the masked burglars who have
committed the depredations on the sub
urban residences about here, underwent
n further examination before Justice In
gram to-day.
Frank Masset swore tina he was in
bed at the time Blanch's Hotel In Wood
side was robbed. Massct's wife corrob-
GRATED his testimony. Rudolph Hoffman,
who lives In the same house with Frank
Masset, swore hat Masset went to bed
at s o'clock on the night OF the robbery
and slept until b.45 next morning.
Hoffman did not make clear how he
knew this to be a fact.
The examination resulted In the &C
quital of both prisoners.
When Justice Ingram announced his
decision the two brothers fell upon each
others necks and burst into tears. while
the spectators gave vent to the widest
applause.

This morning Mrs. Drier examined

There appears to be no evidence on
which to hold Yammin. and It Is likely
he will be discharged at the conclusion
Of his examination.
