THEY ARE rlUCH DIVIDED.

THEY ARE rlUCH DIVIDED.
The Democrats seem to be badly in
need of the advice of the New York
Sun ito get together" On the ques-
tion of their so-called tariff reform
and proposed income tax they are get
ting badly divided and pulling in all
directions. The New York Times
whose Democracy is unquestioned
and which shouts long and loud for
English free trade, wades into the in
4 come tax with the following:
, After protesting for twenty years
against the continued imposition OF
war taxes in time of peace the Demo
cratic party cannot relmpose the most
OdiouS of the war taxes and escape
general condemnation. To make a
personal income tax feature or the
Wilson tariff bill is to commit one OF
those fatal mistakes OF policy that
will drive party from power or de-
strOy it, just as some great lndlscre-
tion destroys private reputation or
a wrong step brings down financial
house.
Then comes the Cincinnati En-
guirer and follows it up and calls upon
the Democrats to repudiate the in
come tax
Which can only be collected by pry-
ing into the private affairs of the peo-
pie by arbitrary methods hateful to
the citizens of the republic, and which
can then only be collected In part, and
that part from decent men, While
rOgues escape it by perjury and
evasion.
And from the west comes the Chi
cago Herald which usually swallows
everything Democratic and says:
Protection as established in the
Wilson bill is bad enough. But the
Wilson bill protection plus an income
tax is intolerab BILE. 1t is even ridicu-
lous. The country will revolt against
it. Under misleadership the Demo-
cratic majority in the House, even if
they approve of this monstrosity, will
be routed out of their seats in the
next Congress elections. The Wilson
bill plus an income tax will be suicide
for the Democratic party.
After it's tremendous and continu-
Gus howl about war taxes Democracy
has made one of it's usual blunders in
seeking to restore one of the most
odious of them all. But this is only
one of a series of hlunders which the
party has committed since its eleva-
tion to power, and which will lead to
it's overwhelming defeat when it again
appears before the people. 1t has
shown itself to be thoroughly in
competent to handle the affairs of
this great nation.
But even if Democrats could get to-
gether and agree upon some policy, 1T
I would not save them from the defeat,
which the papers above quoted, pre-
dict for them if they put the Odious
income tax law into force. Their
tariff measure with it's bungling make
up. free trade features and ad valOrem
duties will drive them from power.
. But if they take both the Wilson
measure and the income tax their de-
feat will be so much the worse. The
I people of this country are satisfied
with the threatened effects of free
trade and care not to go further in
that direction. while the return to the
linquisitorial and odious feature of
war tax will drive them to open re-
volt.

A DOUGHTY CHAMPION.

Ex-Secretary William C. Whitney has
written a ringing letter to Chairman
Hinkley. of the State Democratic Com
mlttee, calling upon Democrats to do
their fun duty in the present campaign.
Mr.. Whitney repeats his refusal al
ready sgnfed to Mr.. Hinkley to serve
as Chairman of the Campaign Commit
tee during the canvass. But he admits
that II his objections were not absolute
he would be tempted to accept, In order
to make mere emphatic his desire to give
to Senator Hin. whom he has on some
occasions opposed, n hearty and UNI
qualified support. He will work for sue
cess, but in the ranks only.
This State Is the keystone of the en-
tire situation" Mr.. Whitney says. De
feat here will mean discouragement for
Democrats and encouragement for Re
publicans throughout the country"
The letter is a bold, earnest and hon
est explication of the situation and will
do much good Everybody knows what
sort of service Mr.. Whitney can rem
der lin the ranks" Everybody knows
what great work he accomplished in
1892 Everybody will see what valuable
aid he will give to the campaign this
year.

A BAFFLED OCTOPUS.

Truly we have arrived at halcyon days

have supposed, even one short year ago.
that a chance at the office OF Mayor Of

OF politics hunting for n victim to de-

INCREASING THE POLICE FORCE.

II Is said that the Grand Jury Will
make a presentment In connection with
the number of assaults and robberies
In the public streets of the city, strongly
recommending that the police force be
Increased by the addition OF one thou
sand men to the present number. This
action Is alleged to be due to the sug-
gestion of Supt Byrnes, who attributed
the outbreaks of lawlessness to the In
sufficient number of patrolmen. and ex-
pressed the opinion that the proposed
addition OF one thousand men Is needed
for the proper protection OF the city.
There can be no doubt that the force
as at present constituted Is too small.
But before 1t IL Increased, would 1t not
be better to insure the reform shown
to be greatly needed by recent develop
ments, both among officers and men?
Is II not, indeed. due to the character
OF the force, heretofore and generally
good. considering the number. that bad
methods and bad men should be weeded
out?
Above all. before the increase takes
place, IL It not desirable that the Lexow
Committee should go Higher Up In Its
Investigations. and let the people know
whether the heads of the Department
are TIT to be intrusted with the control
of greater number of men?
! The people have heard enough OF the
corruptons of irresponsible individuals

REGISTER TODAY.

This is the first day OF registration.
and II Is to be hoped that every legal
voter will hasten to put his name down
on the list. A big first days registra-
ton will give an impetus to the cam
paign that Will last to its close.
Every good citizen may rest assured
that the machine voters will hasten to
get their names down on the lists. All
the politicians who are threatened with
Punishment from power Will persuade
their friends to register. Why should
not the supporters of honest and in
dependent local government be as
prompt as Its enemies?
To be sure the reform" outlook is not
very encouraging. The glib talk about
patriotic unselhshness and an honest,
earnest non-partisan Peoples" move
ment, seems to have passed away The
Republicans now want a straight
Mayor. One Independent organization
kicks If II does not get the Sheriff. An
other draws out unless II con secure
the Superior Court Judgeship, and so
on through the patriotic list.
But some good may come out of the
muddle after all and so good citizens
ought to put themselves in n position to
vote. Let every man put himself in u
position to resist the election of notori-
ously bad men, anyway

The communication OF "PoyntE" on the origin

say however, that the sacred truths contained
therein were properly digested. ''Poyntz' may

saying that little learning is dangerous thing.

Shell Combs Revived.

There Is a marked revival this Sum-
mer of the quaint and towering shell
combs of our grandmothers. They are
shown plain, carved and decorated with
the silver tracery which is the fancy of
the hour. AS these combs in the real
shell cost from s. upward, the maiden
who is fortunate enough to have dot
ing grandmamma or aunt will take ad-
vantage of her indulgence and borrow
her real old-time comb, thus saving
pocket money, and acquiring the pride
Of possession which attaches to a gen.

constituencies Egyptian merchant called
the rubbish he foisted off upon his too
confiding purchasers. The revival Of
the old fashioned shell comb is the nat
ural outcome Of the revived fashion Of
plainly parted and bandeauxed style Of
hair.
