pearance Of prosperity may be be-
trayed in his personal appearance.
If his income is $3499 year he will
not dare appear on the streets in civ
ilized costume lest the tax assessors
jump on him and probe their unbidden
way into his business affairs
to ascertain, if possible, whether
he is drawing the other dollar.
Every man Of any apparent degree
of prosperity will be an object of dis
trust and espionage if he fails to make
returns. The inquisitorial features OF
the old bin are said to be wanting in the
new, but lambs skin can not make a
lion harmless. An income tax is a
license to NEEDLE and no amount OF
prettily turned verbiage can obscure the
grim and CHASTITY facts.
Mr.. McMillin will please step down.

RESULTS OF THE Wilson BILL

Congressman Dingley of Maine in his
speech on the tariff yesterday summa-
rized the effects that have already been
made manifest since the accession OF the
Democracy to power in con-
else but very fair statement
at the close of an eloquent
speech yesterday, when he said
"One year ago, or until it was known
that the Democratic party was soon to
come into power in every department
Of the government, pledged to over
throw the protective policy under which
prosperity had so long prevailed, our
industries were all fourishing, every
body employed at the highest wages
ever known, and activity and
happiness everywhere prevailed.
The anticipation of early revolutionary
and destructive changes in our tariff
policy. embodied in the pending bill,
have caused everybody to distrust the
future and prepare for the worst. In
dustries are paralyzed; mills are run
ming on short time on reduced wages
and millions of suffering workingmen
out Of work are walking our streets
He characterized the Wilson bill rs a
bill to create deficiency. not revenue,
and in view of the fact that even its
father predicts that the revenue to be
raised by it will leave deficit of al
most $50, 900, 900 during the coming year
the title is not misnomer.

Wednesday recorded its emphatic protest
against the proposed imposition OF an
income tax.
1t rightly denounces the tax as inquisi-
torial, productive of fraud and perjury,
un-American in theory and practice, ,odious
class legislation and wholly unnecessary
for purposes of revenue.
That Is the sentiment of business men
and taxpaying citizens everywhere. 1t Is
the prevailing sentiment of the people.
The Democrats will do well to heed 1t II
they wish to avoid a blunder which will
bring defeat upon their party.

The idea OF sending out minister ac-
credited TO the president OF new republic,
having him present his credentials to that
president and address him as "Great and
Good Friend" and then deliberately set TO
work TO organize conspiracy 90 over
throw his government and re-establish
the authority oi the deposed queen, IL re-
pugnant TO every man who holds Ameri-
can honor and justice in any sort OF
respect. President Cleveland's treatment
OF President Dole has been tricky, hypo-
critical, and thoroughly base from the
beginning. IL will load him and his ad :
ministration with shame, even IL IL does
no more. IL will do more than that II
bloodshed has resulted from Il, and
American forces have been urged TO
strangle the young republic OF Hawaii
and restore the royal barlot whose de-
graded dynasty it displaced. In that
horrible event the Cleveland administra-
tion will be gibbeted In history for all
time to come M guilty OF an international
crime which never can be justified, excused

NO DEPOT, SAYS PRES. CLARK.

Stripped right down to the naked fact
the demand of the people along the line
of the Warren and Bristol road for bet
ter terminal facilities in this city has
been heard by the Consolidated road
and declined. You must watt" says
President Clark as he begins long
dissertation on the res sponsibility of
being the chief servant OF all the SER
wants of the public and on the great
paternal care he has to exer else over the
81 900 or more employees of the gigantic
octopus OF which he is the official head.
He admitted that the interests of the
people were the interests of the road,
but it did not follow that the reverse
was true, and when this grim truism
forces itself home on the people of
Rhode Island they will understand
more fully what President Clark meant.
He intimated that there were other
places in the world besides Providence
and other states besides Rhode Island,
and that all had their needs and de-
manded consideration. While he
promised vaguely that some time in the
dim future that the wants of the Bris-
tol road should be met and taken care
of, he very emphatically declined to do
anything about it now.
As for the plan of bringing the peo-
pie up to Market square by electricity
he dismissed the subject as unworthy
OF the slightest serious consideration.
Why lit was at grade" he exclaimed
and the danger to life and limb were too
great to allow consideration of the sub
ject. He apparently forgot that there
was infinitely less danger to life and
limb in train moving slowly and under
control along a street than in dashing
sixty miles an hour across highway,
absolutely unprovidei with means of
warning the travelling public Of the ap-
proach of trains.
He forgets that at the nations capital
the tracks of the Baltimore and Poto-
mac and the Baltimore and Ohio, nd
the Virginia Midland run for miles
through the streets, with far less danger
to life aud limb than at the Sabin street
crossing in this city. He forgets that
hardly big city In the United States
but has more or less hauling of railroad
trains tnrough the city streets.
1t is objectionable, of course, and
there is an element of danger in it, but
it is by no means the bugbear he makes
of it.
President Clark said he hated grade
crossings and no one wonders for his
road is now fighting suits for injuries
and deaths at grade involving over
$l,0O0,000. The Boston aud Maine rail-
road at its Haymarket square station
had TO run its trains at grade across two
Of the most important thoroughfares in
the northwest section of the city and
where there was more travel in three
hours during the day than along the
whole route to be traversed by the pro-
posed electric line in an entire day.
But the case has been closed by the
Consolidated. 1t has refused the petit
tion and If the people of this city, of
Fall River and along the route of the
Bristol road do not like it they are at
liberty to ''resolute' about it to their
hearts content.

One of the most miserable features of
the most disgraceful episode in American
diplomacy is the contempt which Grover
Cleveland has brought upon the United
States and the degradation TO which he
has subjected the American navy. Even
the London Times and the London Globe,
usually ardent admirers Of the president,
on account of his devotion to British free
trade, cannot resist the temptation to
sneer at the Hawaiian fiasco. The Globe
calls Mr.. Cleveland "Kingmaker," and
The Times asks whether "such piece Of
pettifogging will commend itself to the
American people" 1t is most humiliat-
ing situation for the American Republic.
