THE income tax law passed by the

THE income tax law passed by the
present Congress will go into effect
next January. The first payment
will be due before the LIST day of July
1895. The amount of the tax is 2
per cent on all incomes over $4,000 a
year. The Secretary of the Treasury
estimates that the tax will produce
SIS, 1000, 900 during the present fiscal
year. 1t is one OF the most equitable
systems of taxation yet devised for
the support OF the Government. Only
those persons who can afford to pay
are required to pay, a person with
an income of 81, 900 or less is exempt
from taxation, while those whose in
comes exceed that amount are re-
quired to pay 2 per cent per annum
on the excess. A man with 5000
income, for instance pays $50 a year
for the support OF the Government.
That surely cannot be considered un-
just to those who have such incomes
yet determined effort was made by
several members of Congress to de-
feat the bill

The Fascination of Prospecting.


Prospecting is fever-a mania
which grows on one as does the habit
OF gambling, which itresembles, both
being games of chance. The "knack
at hoping" and the excitement in
duced by the hope-keeps alive many
men to-day whose hair and beard are
as white as the snow on the noun
tains, Once prospector, always a
prospector, unless strike is made
that will keep the lucky one in af
fluepce the balance Of his days. Then.
pftentimes the riches from one mine
but serve to dig Improbable holes in
the ground, of which the only pro-
duct is hope. And then one lucky
strike-one man made rich in a few
monthsl How many men does it
cause to shoulder pick and shovel,
tramp all day over the mountains,
sleep on the hard, cold ground at
night, and exc out precarious ex-
istence as prospector? 1t is seldom
that the man who discovers the mine
makes the money. 1t is the man
with the silver and gold in his pocket
who comes afterward In ninety nine
cases out of one hundred the man
who makes the money is not the man
who "hoofed 1T into new mining
country, but the man who, a few
years later, rides into town in pal
ace car. Few prospectors get rich
fewer save their riches. The pros
pector's life Is not an easy one-'tis
simply happy one.

II would be exceedingly gratifying to the
people OF the Valley OF Virginia If the
Gcneral Assembly would End It its duty
ls well as pleasure to elevate Judge Nc
Lauehlin to the Supreme Bench OF the
state. This desirc does not spring from
personal Partially alone, nor from local
or sectional feeling, but from the cony1c-
ton and honest belief that hc would moa-
sure up to the highest standard of tie
supreme judiciary, ana as a judge Of the
Court Of Appeals DE OF invaluable ser
vice TO the whole State. judge McLaugh-
lin is we'll known as a learned Jurist OF
long experience on tho circuit bencl,
where his opinions and decisions have
commanded the highest respect and conf
dence. and his promotion 10 the Supreme
Bench would greatly aid In inspiring con
ndence IN the decisions Of that court OF
last resort. Judge Mclaughlin is learned.
abe. upright, and pure. lie Is industrious
and painstakiuS in the investigation Of
cases. and has the capacity for labor
which few possess. lie brings to the con-
slderation of questions Of law and TACT
q discriminating and comprehensive min
and mature and impartial judgment.
The only objection TO him made by some
who certainly do not know him) IS that
he is too old. He Is only % years Of age.
and has the physical and mental vigor OF
"a man a score Of years younger. lie is
really IN the prime Of his life, and would
be Of great service to the state Tor many
years 10 come. Those who make the
matter of ase an obiN,Ion can hardly
know Judge Mclaughlin. the vigor and
astutencss OF his mind, and his ability
20 comprehend and elucidate complex
questions OF law and dispatch usine
before him.
II the General Assembly will select
Judge Mclaughlin and four other good
men from the names before It, Virginia

command confidence IN its decisions and
Of which the State will be Justly proud.
The Valley will feel keen disappointment
If he fails to be chosen.
