NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Oct. g.
The celebrated Bsgwell murder Gaze
came up in the superior court here to-
.day. Some sensational. testimony WAS
elicited from Omar Harvey, witness
for the state. His testimony practi.
cally amounted to this: That he had
known Frank Laversne, VIII" has Teen
on trial, since March, 1891; that
Lavergne had, about y month before
the murder, made him proposition to
hold up Bag" ell ior his jewe!ry ani
money. Af.erward he had lroached
proposition to murder Easwell. stat
ing that nc, Lavergne, had All agree
ment with Bras.ard, Mrs. Bagws!ls
former husband, whereby he was to
receive $1,000 for the deed. This he
offered to divide with Harvey if Har-
vey would do the sh ooting.
The night of June II Laversne and
Harvey had & 1ue into an unorcupied
lot fronting on the sidewalk, Harvey
taking position about two feet from
the walk. Lavergne went away ana
shortly afterward returned with gun,
which he passed over the fence to Har.
yey from the sidewalk, going away
again.
Shot Baewen In the Back.
About 20 minutes afterward Bagwell
came along and Harvey arose and shot
him in the back. He then ran to the
rear lot opening on the alley. where he
met Lavergne. After concealing the
rifle under the sidewalk they returned
home by a circuitous route.
Harvey also testified that be had not
received any money except So loaned
by Iavergne previous to the murder
aud horse he had received afte: ward.
The whereabouts OF Brassa,1 are not
known. There has been no cross-ex-
animation. Lavergne is the first OF
the suspects tried. Mrs. BAgweil will
stand her trial next.

The story of the crime is as follows:
On Sunday night, June II. Bagweli
was going from u saloon 10 his home
on First street, at about l2:45 O'clock,
when he was shot down from behlud
by some one who evidently stood or
so. inside the picket fence in the VA
cant lot Letween Lees and Smiths
stores Just as his victim passed. The
Winchester was discharged when he
was within few feet of its muZz'e.
The 44-eaiiber ball passed into the muir
dered mans back and through his
breast. killing him within few sec.
Onds.
w. S. Davidson, who was sleeping
10 a tent within few hundred feet OF
the spot where the killing occurred,
knew more about the crime than he
was willing To tell, bat nothing incrin--
mating was elected during the coro,
ner's inquest. Harvey was no: even
suspected.
Harvey Is only Is, aud claims henwss

Sir John Lubbocl; gives in The North
American Review some interesting infor-
nation ia regard to the operation of the
moons fax in Great Britain. It was
levied first IN something like its present
form in 1898. Judging by the rate at
which the matter travels through con-
gress, it will be 1899 before Engldnd's
daughter in America enjoys the pro-
posed income tax if it should be passed
at all. We had if for time during the
war; then it was abolished. It began in
England as a war measure in 1899. The
rate was 10 per cent, and the amount
raised at that time was $50, 900, 600. The
tax was repealed, reimposed and repeal
cd again. Finally it was brought into
reqhisition by Sir Robert Peel in 1912
and has remained a means of raising
revenue ever since. Peel imposed it as
atemporary way of relieving trade and
commerce. from the ''trammels by which
they were bound" He thought incomes
could stand the tax better than COM
lnerce could.
The incomes to be taxed are divided
into five classes or schedules, according
as the income is derived from houses and
lands, profits ia trade, manufactures and
commerce, professions and occupations.
Agriculture has suffered so severely that
the income tax from farms has fallen off.
The amount raised by the income tax in
1882 was about 500 100000. What it is
now we are not informed.
Sir John says the income tax may be
defended On principle SO long as it is
kept within very moderate limits. The
argument Of Peel that it will do less
harm than taxes on trade and commerce
is worthy of due consideration. The
truth is that without the income tax
England could not have maintained her
free trade system. There are objections
to the income tax, though on the whole
these are cverbalanced by the argument
IN its favor, we are to infer from what
Lubbock writes The objections he states
to be, first, that such tax falls equally on
temporary and permanent incomes, and
that the same rate is imposed upon in
comes from earnings as from real estate.
But the same objection might be urged
against any and all taxation. The money
which is earnings today becomes savings
tomorrow and may be turned into real
estate next day

Reformers sill hammer away at the
subject of proportional representation.
That is TO say, suppose in q state the two
leading political parties were nearly
equal, with slight prep6nderance of;
perhaps, Democrats. ssfpose there were
10 congressman to elect, as in Indiana.
If in each congressional district there
were just enough Republicans to miss
electing their candidate and just enough
Democrats to succeed in electing theirs,
then all the Republicans in the state
would stand utterly unrepresented-nay,
misrepresented- the following con-
gress, with no more political voice than
il they were the man in the moon. Mr..
w. d. McCrscSen presents the case Of
the unrepresented thus in The New Eng
land Magazine. lie analyses the vote of
Indiana and concludes that rightful
congressional delegation would give In
diana, instead Of Il Democrats and 2
Republicans, 6 Democrats, 8 Republic
ans and l Populist.
Under our majority rule this philcs-
opher tells us that taxation without rep
resentation is the constant system of our
country, and that the actual lawmakers
in congress today, meaning those who
hold The balance Of power, represent
certainly not more than 25 per cent of
the whole body Of voters. He quotes
from Alfred Gridge IS follows; Our rep
resentative system is similar to one of
those rocks which, while weighing sew
eral tons, could be tipped over by a force
equivalent 10 few pounds-that is, we
are politically as an inverted pyramid
resting en- its apex If we take into
consideration eongressmen's speeches,
the allusion To tons of weight is still
more appropriate
How shall we remedy this injustice Of
taxation without representation? In case
of congress, by eleeting congressman at
large instead Of By districts, letting each
voter ballot for all his state is entitled to,
says Mr.. MeGraeken. A bill has been
actually prepared to present to congress,
which embodies the main feature Of the
plan for minority representation. It Is
as follows:
The members Of the house of representatives
shall be voted for ut large in their respective
states.
Each eleetor has as many Xetcs as there are
representatives to be elected. which he may
distribute as he pleases among the candidates.
giving not more than one vote to any one cam
didate.
The votes given to candidates shall count in
dividually for the candidates Is well as for the
tickets to which the candidates belong.
The sum of all the votes cast III any state
shall Le divided by the number of seats to
which each state is entitled, and the quotient
to tho nearest unit shall be known rs the
quota of representation.
The sums OF all the votes cast for the tickets
of each party or political body nominating can
didates shall be severally divided by the quota
of representation, and the units of the quo
tients thus obtained will show the number of
representatives to which each such body is en-
titled.

TIE SELGNL0R1GE- BILL

The prompt passage of the Bland
seigniorage bill by the Senate is an
other evidence of the friendliness oil
the Democratic party to silver. lu
both the House and the Senate the
bill was passed by the Democratic
members of Congress, while a ma
iority of the Republicans in either
branch voted against it. 1t is an.
other evidence OF the fact, as the
GRAPHIC claimed last summer when
the repeal bill was before the coun-
try, that Congress is not nor can
not be dominated by the eold-bugs
of the East There is no analogy
between the seigniorage bill and the
bill for the repeal Of the purchase
clause Of the Sherman law. There
is no Inconsistency in a Democrat
in voting for the passage of The re-
peal bin and also for the passage Of
the seigniorage bin. The one stopped
the purchases OF silver bullion by
the Treasury and the other provides
for the coinage Of silver bullion now
lying idle in the Treasury, which is
the property Of the Governments,
aud which is oneepeesented in any
manner in general circulation. 1t
will increase the volume of money
about so, geo coo and greatly serve
to relieve the present necessities Of
the Treasury without requiring an
additional god reserve. Its 4 ailf
IN borough keeping with the l5rin-
eipies Of bimetalism, and practically
completes the work OF the Democratic
Congress 50 far as the currency IS
concerned. There is all the differ
ence between the coinage OF silver
bullion already the property oil the
Government and purchasing silver
