The Abscending Messenger Is
Taken in Tow.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D., Jan. 20.-C. F. Prior
and his companion were arrested near
Rock Island last evening. Messages
from friends of Prior in Minneapolis
indicate deep anxiety for the full par
ticulars of his downfall. Chicago d
Northwestern railway officials give
their loss as S1,4SO, but the express
conIpany's loss cannot be ascertained
until each station In PriOr's run is
checked up. From present indications
it will be about the same as the rail-
way loss. Prior's downfall Is attributed
to Mfllie Ziegler, who came from MINI
neapolis several months ago, remaining
here a short time, then going to Pierre,
where Prior cared for her in grand
style. She had him completely In her
power. and was almost constantly
shadowing him, and no doubt induced
him to skip out with her. They were
together when arrested, but it is said
upon Frior's confession of the thefts,
and at his earnest solicitation, she was
released: from custody. Prior will reach
here early next week. Since coming
here Prior sent a portion of his salary
each month to his parents in Minueap-
oils, except in December, when none

A VIGOROUS kICK.
Some Objections to the Income
Tax Measure.

Some Objections to the Income
Tax Measure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The oppo-
nents of the income tax have been
stirred to renewed activity by the digest
of the measure as given in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches. 1t was the
first time they had seen the detailed
method proposed for levying the tax.
Representative Sperry (Dem., Conn.,
who is one of the most active opponents
of the bill. points out some of the main
objections to the income tax plan as
proposed. He says that the committee
has in no way overcome the objection
that an income tax is inqnisitorial. Mr..
Sperry says that this voluntary" prop
OSition gives no protection to the citi-
zen. The government assessors will
select such citizens who have not made
voluntary statement, and will pry
into their affairs. Mr.. Sperry also says
that the voluntary system "puts a
premium on liars" Mr.. Sperry points
out that it will be absolutely I'M
possible for business men to make
a voluntary statement as to the
an actual case which has come to his
attention of a man who has used large
stock of raw wool to make wooden hose
without expecting to sell the goods, and
merely for the purpose of keeping his
men employed. The transaction re-
suited in net loss of $4,000. MIR.
Sperry asks how such transaction can
be estimated in figuring on income.
He also says that large commercial con-
Germs will never be able to make ali es-
innate OF their incomes. They are in
the habit of giving credit at from four
to six months, and their book accounts
seldom or never show what their income
is. 1t the book accounts are paid, it
represents income, otherwise it repre-
sents loss. MIR. Sperry says there is no
practical means of 0bviating this diff
Guilty. In the plan to have the disbur-
sing officer of firms or corporations pay
the tax on salaries of employees, the law
elbows it is manifestly unjust. The
salary is certain and not the uncertain
profits of a business firm, and yet the
employer is compelled to do the book
keeping and assume the burden of
looking after the taxes ON all the sala-
rles of all his employees.

Adventures of Some shipwrecke

Adventures of Some Shipwrecked
People on the Antipodes Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-The story
of the adventures of castaways, who
were OH an island for eighty days,
comes from Auckland. The bark Spirit
Dawn. bound from Chilli to Rangoon,
was wrecked at the Antipodes islands
Sept. 4. The officers and crew, except
the captain and four men, reached the
islands safely. The men, who were
Scantlly attired, were much exhausted.
They secured their boat as best they
could, but during the night it broke
away. They constructed rude hut of
tussocks, and here they remained for
thirty days, until rescued by the
Hinenoa, subsiSting that time on raw
mutton, birds, penguin eggs and roots.
They had no matches to light a fire.
Although government depot, contains
ing provisions, clothing. ETC., was only
three miles from the spot where they
landed, they did not think of searching
the Islands, and remained in ignorance
Of its existence. Curiously enough,
too, although there are many goats,
sheep and cattle on the island, which is
only 5000 acres in extent, none were
seen by the castaways. Notwithstand-
ing their privations, the survivors,
eleven i'll number, enjoyed excellent
health. with the exception of Rangoon
native boy, whose toes dropped off.
During the time they were on the isl
and they saw four passing vessels, bur
were unable to attract their attention.
The Hinemoa noticed their signals, and
boat was sent ashore. The castaways
were found in a piteous plight. stand
ing on the rocks, some with pieces of
raw penguin flesh in their hands, which
they were eating.

Were the legal adviser of all the con-
solidated wealth of the United States, l
would advise them to advocate just
such an income tax bill as this, because
it shows willingness upon the part of
the wealth to bear some of the burdens
of government taxation. and relieves
the poor from that burden. If this bill
is defeated, the demagogue can then
we'll go upon the stump and say that
the wealth of this government, while it
receives the protection and defense Of
all other classes, refuses to bear any of
the burdens for it's support One of
the objections urged against the income
tax" said Mr.. Hall, "that it is inquisi-
torial in its character. So is the Gus
toms tax inquisitOrial. Is not the in
ternal revenue tax OH whisky and to-
bacco inquisitorial? Isn't personal
property taxation, which is resorted to
by thirty-nine out of forty-four states
of the Union. inquisitorial when it re.
quireS man to make an affidavit to
every dollars worth Of personal prop
erty he has and allows an officer to 20
into his wife'S wardrobe aud drag out
her watch and jewelry and
ALL HER FINERY?
"And yet the same men who have
succeeded in passing these laws in The
state now come forward and oppose all
income tax on the ground that it is in
quisitorial. Another of their silly argu-
nents is that that the income tax is a
reward for perjury. While we have
heard demagogues on the stump say
many harsh and cruel things of wealthy
men, we have never heard one SO bold
as to say that men who receive incomes
of $4,000 would make themselves band
of perjurers in order to protect them
selves from small, pitiable tax on their
incomes of per cent. Instead of this
measure being reward to perjury by
its passage, if we refuse to pass it be-
cause this claim is made, then the
refusal to pass it from such an argu-
ment Will be reward to threatened
perjury.
"The danger arising from an investi-
cation of the operation and methods of
business men is entirely destroyed by
the first part of section 10 of this bill, %
said Mr.. Hall, (which Furnishes severely
any collector or deputy collector who
divulges any information regarding a
persons financial condition.
II asked the members of the WAYS
and means committee if they could
even theoretically frame tariff bill
without an income tax that would
yield a sufficient revenue for the wears
1895 and 1896 and not have deficit of
S25.000, 900 for 1897 and 1898. They said
it could not be DONE"

AN Ex-BANNhK ARRESTED.
Wrecker OF the Lima Bank in
Much Trouble.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20. - Benjamin G.
Faurot, the former president of the de-
funct Lima. O., National bank, was ar
rested here last night at II o'clock, as
he was leaving on Pennsylvania train.
The warrant was sworn out in the
United States district court by William
Carver, a tank builder. Carver charges
Faurot with swindling him out Of S15,-
600. This case has created considerable
excitement throughout Ohio, where the
defendant is we'll known. 1t is said
that the case in its entirety covers Il
number of visionary schemes by Faurot,
which resulted in the wrecking of the
Lima bank and impoYerishing its cred
ItOrs.
Faurot and his attorneys say that the
arrest on a criminal charge is solely for
the purpose Of collecting a civil debt.
FaurOt'S attorneys explained the facts
TO District Attorney Milchrist. and told
that official that the bankers answer,
in which GraYer claims Faurot per-
jured himself, had not been filed, and
therefore no court had jurisdiction over
their contests. They denied that their
client has committed perjury. and held
that, in any event, the answer, not hav-
Ing been flied, could not be made the
basis of such a charge. The district
attorney was inclined 10 take the same
view of the matter. Faurot says he is
entirely innocent of the charge of per-
Jury or an attempt to defraud GraVer.

THE INCOME TAX.
Congressman Hall Explains tn,
Provisions of the Bill


Provisions of the Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Representa.
tive Hall, of Missouri, today explained
a number of the details of the income
tax to be reported to the house Monday.
Mr.. Hall is regarded in the house as the
originator of the entire plan of an in
come tax. He has discussed the sub
ject fully with President Cleveland, and
with the various members of the cabi-
net. Regarding an income tax, Mr..
Hall said today: 81 find there is much
apprehension as to the amount of in
come which will be subject to a tax.
If, for instance, man receives salary
of $1,000 year. the opinion seems to
prevail that this entire salary is sub
jected to 2 per cent tax. AS a matter
of fact, however. all classes of incomes
have an exemption of 81 1000, so that the
mau receiving salary OF $1,000 would
pay tax on only $1,000. One of the
most inexplicable things to me is the
opposition to this income tax bill as
passed by the ways and means commit
tee from the wealthy classes of the
United States. This bill should have
been entitled. A bill to suppress dem
agogy and the growth of anarchy
and socialism. In a conversation with
one Of
THE ABLEST LAWYERS
in this country, he made this remark;

The events not started yet in which
the American rinks will still have
good show now are for the Merriam
medal, the point contest and the con-
ISOLATION.
The Merriam medal is OF massive
gold, set with a large diamond in the
center and bearing the seal of the state
of Minnesota. 1t is open to all regularly
organized curling clubs within the state.
Four pairs of handsome red hone
carling stones are the admiration and
envy of all curriers' who stop to look at
the exhibit. They are the prizes in the
consolation match, and are presented by
the Twin City Rapid Transit company.
All rinks defeated in either the first or
second draws of the Job5ers' union and
George Hall competitions are eligible to
compete for these stones.
OF the various other medals on exhl-
bition that for the point contest is par
ticularly attractive. 1t is presented by
John q. Hinkel as the first prize in the
point contest, and is OF gold, set with a
large diamond.
In the point contest the prizes are
four, valued at $50.
As the Merriam event is open only to
Minnesota rinks. there is some talk of
playing it off in Duluth. However, this
has not been decided definitely as yet.
The Waupaca and some of the Duluth
rinks have gone home, but the Capueks
say that they will see it out. and as the
prospect is for good weather today The
ice will undoubtedly be in excellent
condition by tomorrow.

FOSTER APPROVES.
Harrison's Secretary ofthe Treas
ury Pleased With the Bond
Scheme.

Scheme.
TOLEDO, Jan. 20.-The Blade today
has an interview with ex-Secretary
Foster on the bond circular of Secretary
Carlisle. Concerning the story that
year ago he had the plates engraved for
bond issue which was stopped by
President Harrison, Mr.. Foster said:i,
THAT is not correct. The story arose
from the well-known fact that l favored
bond issue in case the gold reserve
went below the hundred million mark.
But it did not drop below the line dur
ing the Harrison ad ministration, and
there was no need that this step should
be taken. As TO President Harrison,
he never discussed the point, because
the reserve never fell as low as the
hundred-million line. am of the i'm
preston that he would have favored the
plan had the treasury gold fallen below
that" In reply to question as to
whether the secretary has the right to
issue the bonds under the act of 1875, he
said:
lit is my view that the law did not
contemplate the selling of bonds to meet
current government expenses. which is
really what Mr. Carlisle proposes. But
he undoubtedly has authority to sell
bonds to replenIsh the reserve. He can
do that and than pay it out for current
expenses, then sell the bonds to bring
up the reserve again. and so on. But
this evades the spirit of the law. in my
opinion.

as his reason that he was paired with
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia.
He was decidedly in favor of the con-

of Mr.. Hornblower one of the best that
Mr.. Cleveland has made during his adj
ministration.
Senator Davis was understood to be
absent, and SO far as is known has not
cast his vote on the confirmation. His
friends have all along had reason to be-

OASbCEahti NCSSakC
and the Dole Willis Corre-
spondcnce Cause Great Curl
osity in Congress s-Democratic
Approval Of Our Minister'S
Course-Tin Schedule Argued.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Only one
amendment to the tariff bill was argued
today, relating to the tin plate schedule.
1t was unimportant, however, affecting
not the rates, but. the technlcalitleS of
the trade-the Henderson amendment
TO substitute the existing rates OH agri
cultural products, the Dingiey amend
ment to change the rates on lime from
10 per cent ad valorem to specific duty
of six cents per 100 pounds, and the
Grain amendment to reduce the duties
on cotton and woolen goods from As per
cent to 25 per cent were lost.
At 10 the presidents secretary ap-
peared with the Hawaiian message and
the veto of New York and New Jersey
bridge bill.
The reference in the message of
transmission to the remarkable letter of
President Dole to Minister Willis caused
great curiosity in the house, and Mr..
Hit. leader of the Republican minority
of the committee on foreign affairs,
asked that the letter be read. No OBJ
lection was made. While the reading
was progressing the members on both
sides crowded down about the speakers
rostrum, listening eagerly to the protest
of the Dole government against the
action of Minister Willis.
At several points in the letter the
Republicans applauded, and when it
was finished they broke into cheers.
When Mr.. Willis reply was read the
Democrats in turn gave it their approx
ing plaudits. The subsequent CORE
spondenee evoked applause from each
side alternately, the Republicans ap-
plauding President Dole's communica-
tions and the Democrats signifying
with voice and hand their approval of
the course of Mr. Willis.
At the conclusion of the reading, the
message and accompanying documents
were referred to the committee on for
eign affairs.
The house then resolved itself into a
committee of the whole for the consid-
GRAFTON of the tariff bill. The interest
in the tariff, however, is plainly de-
parted, and members stood about in
groups discussing the hawaiian mes
sage and correspondence.
AT $50 the committee rose and the
house recessed until 8 o'clock, with an
important amendment by Mr.. Bitt
pending, the subject of which was to
force Canada to admit our coal free in
return for the free admission Of Can
adidn coal into the United States.
