There are many reasons why an
an income tax is useful agency in
carrying out the purposes Of the
platform. 1t is well known that in
past years, and particularly during
the Fifty-tirst congress. expendi-
lures were enormously increased.
with the specific object of making
a high tariff inevitable. The COM
mittee which framed the Wilson
bill was greatly embarrassed by
this action of these unscrupuluous
opponents. They found it impos-
sible to raise the necessary revenue
from customs without putting rates
oppressively high. 1t was there
fore only proper that the rich men,
who had caused these unnecessary
expenditures for their own benefit.
should be asked to pay a part Of
them out Of the vast incomes that
have been secured to them by law
1t is in the interest Of governmental
economy to have it understood that
if public expenditures are rendered
needlessly high at the dictation OF
class interests, those very interests
shall bear their share Of the burdens
which this prodigality entails

the rising generation, and great
uducator for the whole family. Sc

Many, even among the Oldest res
idents of this section, are not aware
of the fact that about all the min
ing companies locating, designating
and owning the Comstock lode from
the Utah mine on the north to the
Overman on south are California
and not Nevada interpretations.
They have their head offices in San
Francisco and all their mining
operations and general business is
directed from there. The only ex-
ception is the Yellow Jacket, which
was incorporated under the laws of
Nevada and has its head office in
Gold Hill.
The Centennial Gravel Mining
company may also be mentioned
as an exception, as it also is in Ne
vada incorporated with its office in
Gold Hill like the Yellow Jacket.
The mine is in California, bot its
owners are all Comstock Nevadans.

OLD BARANoFF CASTLE.

An Alaskan Stronghold That Was the
Scene Of Many Festivities.
Baranoff castle was in Sitka, and
was built upon an eminence command
ing an excellent view of the town and
harbor. In appearance it bore no re.
semblance to castle, but looked very
much like a country hotel.
Baranoff castle, and the island upon
which it was built, derived its name
from the Russian governor Baranof,
who, in the early part OF the century,
lived there and ruled the people with
tyranny similar to that enforced in
Siberia.
Under Baranoff's rule and that of his
predecessors the island and the old cas-
tie were the scenes Of many contests
for supremacy, as well as festivities, in
which persons of royal blood partici'
pated.
The governorship of that portion OF
all Russia was considered great re.
ward, and in turn many mobiles ruled
and were provided with plenty to make
their life one of luxury. The old ban
quet hail of the castle was the scene Of
many entertainments given in extrava.
CANT style in honor Of visiting cclebri,
ties.
Twenty years ago Lady Franklin,
then eighty years old, visited the is
land, searching for some trace of hei
missing husband, Sir John. William
II. Seward, upon his retirement as sec
rotary of state, also spent several days
upon the island. viewing with his own
eyes the great territory which through
his and Senator Charles Summers eff
forts secured for this country by peace
able means.

sonages stood upon the balcony Of the
old castle, and witnessed the replac
