Revenue or Income Taxes?

Senator Hill in his speech the other
day in the senate said: 1--WE have no
right to deliberately discard $76, 000.-
600 of tariff revenue and thereby create
a deficiency to be supplied by other and
more Objectionable taxes The senator
had reference directly in his remarks to
the income tax feature of the Wilson
bill He might have very properly said:
The Democratic party have no right to
discard $76, 600, 600 of tariff revenue
and create a deficiency thereby when no
man, woman or child feels in the slight
est degree any burden on account Of our
present tariff system, which, SO far from
being burdensome and oppressive, has
built up and developed our great indus
tries hundredfold. 4

Rulers Of Horses and Men.

It is instructive to compare the Wis
age Of the ruler of horses with that of
the ruler Of men. The horseman's face
shows command In the mouth; the drill
sergeant's in the mouth and the eye.
Tholast is undoubtedly the most effect
i've instrument in exacting obedience
from our own species Here we get a
hint.of the cause Of that want of Dig
nifty, that element of coarseness, which
is observable IN the countenances Of
some men and women who have much
TO do with horses. The higher and no
bier method Of expressing authority is
outweighed by the lower. and more ami
NAL one. -Blackwood' Magazine.

that he could not supply one with which
he was perfectly satisfied. Yet he made
the attempt, and Mr.. Fraser Rae has
discovered the copy containing his final
corrections of passages in many scenes,
which Moore must have overlooked, the
documents at his disposal having recent
ly been put into Mr.. Fraser Rae's hands
by Sheridan's descendants for the pur-

the great dramatist and orator. The

extant to show how effectually Sheridan

trees are provided with curious root
suckers, consisting of woody processes
growing upward at irregular points
along the course of the roots, and project

DEMOCRATIC ABsuRD1TY.

Nothing could be more absurd than
the allegation that AL Powell, demo-
cratic county commissioner, saved the
county $1,000 of the court house money.
The facts are as the return of the
sheriff shows, now on file in the office
of the clerk of the circuit court, that
Seth Clifford as sheriff of Fall River
county, levied on said $1,000 in the
hands or MI. Powell by virtue of an
execution on two judgments in favor
of Fred r. Evans and compelled Mr..
Powell to pay owe said $4,000 and
Powell had no choice in the matter.
The attempt to make votes for demo-
Gratis by clarifying Al Powell on ac-
count of his conduct in the court
house controversy is likely to prove a
boomerang. Ihave personal knowledge
OF the above facts as [ was present at
the time Clifford made the levy.

= Grent rowcr Producer.

Rev. ii. ii. Gilchrist believes that he
has solved the question of producing
power i'll this western country with a
wind engine or mill, of which he has
made a model and we were shown it's
workings today. 1t is certainly Il very
simple and practical machine and the
model works like a charm. 1t consists
of a long shaft on which at intervals
there are placed the fans or sails which
are made of canvas on the same cross
bar, one on either side of the shaft and
at right angles to each other. This
shaft and cross bars with sails may be
increased to any length and the power
also increased in proportion. He
thinks it will revolutionize things
generally and harness the d~isagreeable
winds that go sweeping owe the prai-
ries of the west and make them do
mans labor in almost every depart
ment of the mechanical world. We
hope he has solved this great problem
and may reap the full benefit of what
seems to us to be Il great invention.

A TRUTHFUL COMPARISON.

In the matter of sheriff's costs re-
ferred to by the democratic central
committee it is stated that Clifford. re-
publican, drew during his last term
twice as much as Blakey. democrat. has
during his term. But it should be re-
membered that during Gifford's last
term more cattle thieves and other
criminals were arrested, prosecuted and
sent to the penitentiary than during
all of the balance of time since the
county was organized, and that's where
the sheriff's costs against the county
como from. During Gifford's last term
Judge Gardner held his first term as
judge in this county and the first five
weeks OF that term was entirely occu-
pied with criminal trials and ten men
were tried, convicted and sentenced to
terms in the %penitcntiary. AS COM
pared to the amount of criminal bust
ness transacted during their respective
terms Blakey's bill against the county
is o than twice as large as Gifford's
was for the same length of time. The
democratic central committee seeks to
make votes by telling part of the truth
which they must know is Ito put it
mildly gross deception.

THEY WORK UPON PREJUDIcEs.

Those who are out of office and over
anxious to get in, failing to find any
thing substantial to criticise, either in
the public OF private character of the
republican nominees. resort tothe most
silly and childish appeal to the preiu-
dice of the people. They charge that
John Burke is an Evans man if talking
with IL who is prejudiced against Mr..
Evans. and iftalking with one who is
preiudiced against Mr.. Stewart. they
say he is Il Stewart man; both of which
statements are without shadow of
foundation in fact, and simply to show
TO what straits the opposition is driv-
ell to find aught to say against the re-
publican nominees. They have to add
init (for there is no gainsaying the fact)
that John L. Burke is honest, upright,
competent and popular, so they say
that John Doe says that Richard Roe
says that he learned from a democrat
who dreamt it that John was seen one
day talking to a man who is not es-
teemed by the voter they seek to intlu-
ence. and that is all they can find to
say against Mr.. Burke-the trumping
up of the most ridiculous things, mere
ly to arouse personalprejudices. They
dare not make charges against his hon
esty or his competency. We say to the
republican voters of Fall River county
that John L. Burke is above reproach
in every way and should receive your
hearty and unanimous support.

rare opportunity o hearing him. Judge

Picker, as already announced, will

every voter should plan to be present
