n INCOME TAX.

Much OF the tarln discussion ID U
for this session of congress. The most
important feature of the senate COM
promise measure is the income tax
proposition, which Is now before that
body. Hill has taken it upon himself
to defeat this proposition, but If all
signs do not fail his efforts will be in
vein.
The people demand an income tax,
and this demand is n of the most
equitable ever made of q Legislative
body. If We are to collect u taxes
by tariff on foreign goods, then to
equalize the burden Of taxation, an
income tax is essential. 1t is q just
compliment to the tariff bill.
The man with his millions pays this
government no other tax than that
which he pays upon his food and
raiment aud articles Of comfort and
pleasure. The poor man pays the gov
eminent upon the same basis ana CON-
paratively a larger tax for the protec,
ton he receives than the rich one.
The income tax will serve to equalize
the burdens of government.
1t is a flexible u and can be ad.
justed without serious disturbance to
meet the demands of the government,
It is just, because il is o tax upon
wealth, and not upon industry. 1t Ii
equitable, because it falls upon those
who receive the most protection from
the government. 1t will pass because
of these reasons, and the people de-
mand it.

Old N,ssouri's Honor.

Kansas City Times: There is bat lit
tie doubt but that the final vote on the
tariff bill will be taken in the senate
before the week is out. 1t Is absolutely
certain that when the vote il taken the
bill will be passed, and that when 1t Is
passed there will be . revival OF bust
ness and q restoration Of prosperity
throughout the country. Ever since
the inauguration Of the democratic sd-
ministration fifteen months ago the
people have been waiting for this
contamination of their hopes. VI
course they understood that the work
couldn't begin until congress met in
December. But that is more than six
months ago, and during this period
anxiety has developed into imPatience.
Now tina. the end Is approaching the
opportunity is presented to review the
vast labor which the friends OF tarih
reform have performed. The contest
in the senate has been without parallel
in the history of parliamentary conten.
ton. In the senate four months OF
arduous and unremittent labor . been
spent on it. During this period . few
democratic senators have been Obliged
to bear the burden Of the WORK, n
they have made their fight with such
consummate skin and ability that not a
vital point has been lost. They have
Welded to demands of men In their own
party in some points. But their nag
has never been trailed in the face OF
the common enemy.
1t is o subject Of just pride to the
people Of Missouri that in this gigantic
struggle for right and Justice the two
senators of this state, George q. Vest
and Francis NJ. Cockrel, have been
conspicuous in the battle. They have
been tireless, courageous and efficient
in every movement of the democratic
forces. When the bill becomes a law,
as it certainly will. their names will be
coupled with those OF the others who
have spent weeks Of weary work In
order that the people might be released
from needless burdens and that pros
perity might be restored to the business
interests Of the country.

The New Minister.

To the Editor OF the I~ntelligencer.
Higginsville is still upon an upward
movement, Notwithstanding the hard
times. She now has electric lights,
and her water works will soon be
complete. The Christian church has
about hired q new preacher. He has
already preached three sermons. He
shows himself to be q man of culture
and of powerful logical ability and
force. His bible understanding, and
presentation Of the same to his large
and interesting audience, are of great
power and force. We don't think he,
so as yet manifested, is one of those
nowadays disgusting cyclists, and
APES, nor sensationalists. All such
objects should be Immediately dis
charged from service as 500 as dis
covered by good, sensible and religious
people, and sent to entertain In a saw
dust ring. or to entertain a circus. No
Christian people want a buffoon or a
clown in the pulpit.
Religion is a matter that has eveI
engaged the most serious thought OF
mankind, as it ever will. In all
ecclesiastic history, culture, dignity,
and that which is serious and sublime,
ever prevails. We remember not @
single instance where the Savior, the
inspired apostles, or any one of the
holy men of the Bible Eel uttered q
frivolous speech, or made u buffoon
remark in giving their hearers instruc.
ton. We may be mistaken in this,
but we feel we are not.
This church has most excellent
singing in its choir, aud by some of its
members in different parts of the
audience. The choir members are
very good. 1t is composed of William
Boyer, leader, Mrs. DIR. VIM. Webb,
Mrs. DIR. Carter, II. Homer Luce,
Miss w. Carter and sister, Mrs. X.
Beattie, Miss Hattie Dyer and sister,

Psychology.


To the Editor Of the InIelligencer:
Please publish a few thoughts upon
mental philosophy, Dr. psychology. !
shall be as brief as possible.
No o important subject presents
itself for consideration to the minds of
lawyers, preachers and school teachers,
especially to the latter. No one. it
matters not what his education, is fit
to teach q school without q thorough
knowledge of psychology, or mental and
moral philosophy. His pupils minds
must be thoroughly understood, all the
laws governing sensation, perception,
conception, memory, imagination, the
sensibilities, morals, will power and
consciousness. These are learned
from good text books: observations
upon persons, old and young, and by
studying phrenology and physiognomy.
Many Cor alD Of our educated teachers
know Q good text book or books upon
this subject, and that such must be
much and often studied in order to
acquire a ready and practical know
ledge of the mind and its management
uROu oCsctitiuC ptiuCiPicS. No notc
important matter cOnfrOnts a teacher
than the improvement of a child's
memory, and the proper training OF
his judgment, imagination, and moral
feelings. Why, in teaching spelling,
should an oral exercise sometimes be
gwen, and sometimes an exercise in
writing. These a be easily answered,
upon scientific principles: for the i'm.
provement Of the memory and articu.
lation. Hence l shall not stop to
answer them. How can we best i'm.
prove the Imagination What mean:
must be used to give a vigorous anC
pure imagination and bring out q fine
conception of the beautiful and sub.
lime In all thingsP The imagination
is the true foundation of all fine meta,
phorical language In all prose and
poetry, in all the many languages o.
earth, and of the most exalted c~ivilIza
ton and refinement, and hence 4
power in giving the fullest mora
vigor. The road to exact judgment
and accuracy Is Keen, sharp observation
and a steady habit Of properly exer
cising the five senses upon the externa
universe, and a thorough study o
mathematics, abstract and practical

Thompson Resigns.
Judge Richard Field received this
week, the following telegram

Thompson Resigns.
Judge Richard Field received this
week, the following telegram:
MEXICO CITY, June 10, 1894.
Judge Richard Field. Lexington, Mo.
/ hereby resign as receiver of the
Sedalia, Warsaw IL Southern Railway.
(Signed) j. G. THOMPSON.
As the result Of Judge Fields decis-
ion in the case of Carlos Greeley VS..
Missouri Pacific railroad, tried in Soda
Lila, last November, that a receiver should
be appointed for the Sedalia, Warsaw
& Southern railway, Thompson was ap-
pointed, he being the choice Of both
plaintiff and defendant in the case.
Carlos Greeley owned a large share of
the stock in the road, and it being run
entirely in the interest of the Missouri
Pacific, and at a loss, came into court
and asked that a receiver be appointed.
After hearing the case Judge Field
decided in favor of plaintiff. The Mis-
souri, Pacific appealed the a s to the
supreme court. This court handed down
q decision, last week, affirming Judge
Field. This left the road in the default
ing cashiers hands. The INTELLIGEN-
GER is not informed as to what steps
have been taken towards appointing his
successor.
Gov. Stone is the kind Of a man the
national democracy needs for a leader.
He has sound, clear, well-digested
views on all questions, and does not
fear to express them anywhere or at
any time. He does not wait to see
which way the national a intends to
jump. He does not allow any man to
do his thinking. He does not hesitate
to call a traitor by that vile name
which alone will characterize him. He
does not hesitate to point out and con-
denim the mistakes and crimes CON-
mitted In his own we'll beloved party.
And when he speaks of such things
there is no suspicion Of soft-soap or
sentiment in his language. He comes
nearer expressing the views of the
great masses Of democracy to-day than
any man in public life. II things con-
tinue for two years as they have been
for the past two years, his nomination
for the presidency will be a necessity.
In this day Of blatherskites, Bill Stone
looms up among politicians like a
mountain would tower Over the sandy
plains.
