Plans have been formulated and
are now made public for the erection
of great building on the northw west
corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth
street, New York, which will be the
home of the various missionary
agencies of the Presbyterian church
IN the United States. 1t will proba-
bly, be known as the Presbyterian
Mission House This great building,
which will be eleven stories high and
will cost about 81, 100000. is made
possible by the munihcent gift of
Mrs. Robert L. Stewart, who died
about two years ago, leaving nearly
a million dollars to be used as a per-
manent fund by the mission boards
of the church. 1t was her wish that
such a building should be erected
although she did not stipulate that
the money which she left should be
used in that way.

The Income TIA, and Bemetall,l.n.

Senator Vest OF Kansas City, Mis-
sour, told in a few words the pivotal
reason for bimetallism and an inn
portant reason for taxing incomes.
mo country" he said &can be prosper
GUS with increasing population and
decreasing money" A little later,
while upon the same subject of silver
coinage, he said: @Closing the mints
OF the world to silver has increased
enormously the purchasing power of
gold and the value of incomes"
While we limit the standard Of gold,
the prosperity of the masses is di-
minished and the power of large in
comes in the hands of few is in
creased. There fore, the Democratic
party is for bimetallic coinage and
the taxation i'll il oCmes. Large in
comes can better th IN ever afforl to
contribute directly to the support of
the Government. -Four thou sand dol.
lars year represents as much power
as $1,000 did i'll 1864. The existence
OF an exclusive gold standard is one of
the unanswerable arguments for an
income tax. Free silver coinage and
revenue tariff might render income
taxes unnecss- airy. But as long as the
tariff Expresses the household of the
pool man in proportion to the size of
his family and all ont of proportion TO
the size Of his income, and as long as
prosperity is dragged down by gold
standard, the justice of an income
tax is its usefulness to the Treasury.
When the metals are both available
as the money of final redemdtion and
the tariff is for revenue only, we will
see what can be dons about the
income tax. For the present it
stays.

A Chinaman does everything ex-

read his writing from left to right,
and his fighting is done with his back
to the foe. His best weapons are his
legs, and on those rare occasions when
he toes the mark he does it with his
heels. If he is condemned to execu-
ton he can hire man to die for him;
and if by some accident he wins a
victory he passes it back to the
enemy, like an American mugwump,
along with the flags and honors and
emoluments that belong to it. He is
a fatalist and fool, and his Govern
ment is half right in chasing him

death are Of no significance.-Judge.

true inwardness of. the anne line 1T,
that if passed, disfranchsed resi-

the result of a deep laid scheme to
prevent some prominent man from
holding office in Nevada.

necessary Legislative machinery was
first put Ill motion to make the amend

was working in the interest OF some
