course was received as a triumph all
republican legislators of his own state
gave him their unanimous Endorsement.
They knew what was satisfactory to re-
publicans. and the democrat who takes
a course that suits republicans need ex-
pect no Endorsement from democrats
That is not the way to treat them. We
reprint elsewhere an editorial from the
Louisville Courier-Journal, printed at the
time. which indicates the proper method
of disposing of them.
Mr.. German received a similar tribute
from the republican legislators of his
state. Mr. Brice has received the praise
of the republican papers Of Ohio. Others
have received like favors in less proper
ton. The mere fact that republicans
commend a democrat is no objection to
him, but the fact that democrats OBJ
struct democratic legislation and receive
praise because they stand for republican
principles, which are in sharply defined
opposition TO democratic principles. dis
poses Of any claim they may have had
to be considered democrats They are
simply political traitors. They have either
obtained office by false pretense or they
have abandoned the principles that they
held when they went into office. In either
case the democratic party has no further
use for them. 1t is their duty to get
over into the party where they belong.
and it is the duty of the democratic
party to speed them on their way in the
most vigorous fashion. We think the
democratic party will do its duty.

MIssoURrs FALSE PRETENsE.

The democratic state convention Of
Missouri has been guilty of framing a
silver plank which is entitled to take
rank with the Sherman silver law as a
''cowardly makeshift." 1t is follows:
We declare it to be a duty en1oined
| upon congress by the constitution to coin
both gold and silver morey for the use
| OF the people of the states; that congress
has no rightful power to refuse the COIN
| age of silver metal. We. therefore de-
mand the free bimetallic coinage of both
gold and silver and the restoration OF
| the bimetallic standard
The first portion of the proposed reso-
luton weakens the demand. 1t AYERS
that the constitution empowers congress
ito coin both gold and silver money"
and therefore demands "the free BIZ
metallic coinage Of both gold and silver"
Everybody knows that we have been
coming silver ever since it was demon
coin on hand vastly in excess Of the
needs of the country. There can be no
doubt in the mind Of any sensible per-
son that so far as mere coinage is con-
constitution requires. A requirement of
coinage is not a requirement of free coin
age. and it is folly for silver men to
claim that it is. Such a thing the
present silver question was never
dreamed of when the constitution was
framed, and the constitution is absolutely
silent on the subject
But this is a small offense as COM
pared with the concluding section. which
demands the free bimetallic coinage Of
both gold and silver and the restoration
Of the bimetallic standard" We cannot
believe that there was man in the con-
vention who did not know that it was
absolutely impossible for this country to
have both of these demanded results.
We can have free coinage Of silver if we
want it. and free coinage of gold at the
same time. but we cannot have BIZ
metallic standard Until the commercial
world, or the greater part of it, joins
with us in the movement. All intelligent
free coinage men concede that the free
coinage Of silver. under present condi-
tions, will necessarily result in silver
monometallism. Mr.. Bland himself con-
cedes this in private conversation and
says that he prefers silver monometal-
lism to gold recommendation. We would
agree with him if the choice were linn
tied to those two, but why should any
one who is in favor Of silver monometal-
lism claim that he favors bimetallism?
Why not tell the truth? Why not de-
clare in favor of silver recommendation?
That is the fair and honest thing to do.
Free silver men cannot help their cause
by pretending that they are in favor of
bimetallsm.

We take pleasure in recording the fact
that another Indiana farmer has recent

died by a small gang of the various
sharps and sharks that make this state
the scenes of exploiting all sorts of swind-
ling operations. The case alluded to in
the foregoing is that of John Gaheimer,
a well-to-do farmer of Shelby county. 1t
happened only last week. Three smooth,
sharp swindlers were engaged in the
transaction. Two of them appeared at
his home in the country in Union town
ship. After discussing the proposition
to buy his farm, they displayed about
1000 worth of what were probably
counterfeit bank notes, but the money
looked all right to him. Following this
they pursued the old and we'll known
swindling trick-they introduced some
sort of a card trick ana tried to make
him believe that he had won $1,000, but
he was Informed that he must show an
equal amount before he could get any
thing. At this stage or the proceedings
the third rascal showed up and offered
to go with Gaheimer to the Shelbyville
bank and get the money that the farmer
had on deposit. The latter then woke
fully up to the demands of the situation
and, calling for help, the men skipped out
for new pastures. officers were soon on

There is a noticeable revival of oppo-
sition to the income tax among the Hill
| organs, presumably as an Endorsement of
that distinguished traitor, for certainly
there is no room for doubt now that the
income tax will remain in the tariff bill.
The New York Sun is making a great
effort to play first fiddle in this orchestra
of obstruction and is furnishing a col
lection of arguments that are quite as
entertaining as its Dnk Bolts articles.
One of the most appalling arguments it
has yet produced is an approved article
by a gentleman who declares that he is
an American. a student of American pol
itics, a graduate of Cornell and a spe-
cial student at Johns Hopkins. This col
legiate declares that the fundamental
principle of justice in taxation is that
all men shall be taxed equally in pro-
portion to his property. and he asks with
fine Indignation:
If by the utilization Of our abilities we
come into the possession Of a certain
income. are we. by an edict Of a car
with, but additionally over other men?
We do not know what car at Wash
ington the gentleman refers to. as Tom
Reed is supposed to be the only person
entitled to that name. and he has no
especial connection with the income tax,
but we submit that the income tax is no
proposition to tax unequally. On the
contrary, it is absolutely necessary to
have an income tax to secure equality,
as is shown by the able argument of
this same opponent Of the income tax.
He says:
Every citizen of this country pays
tax. even if ne occupies only a hall bed
room in a lodging house. If the landlord
of that lodging house had no tax to pay.
his ledger would have just that much
less to pay proportionately for his &C
commOdatiOn.
Every man who hires a-let me say
$50 month fiat has his tax to pay in
making the landlord good" for the tax
alton imposed upon that landlord.
1t is needless to go into details; every
man, from the single man who hires
hall bedroom at 81 week TO the man
who pays 500 a month or more, has TO
contribute his pro rata share to the taxes
imposed on the landlord
And so it comes TO pass that we all.
in one way or another. have to pay our
taxes.
Evidently in this case the landlord
pays no tax at all. but collects the en-
tire amount from his dodgers. for his
lodger would have just that much less
to pay if the landlord were not taxed.
Hence, instead of all of us having to pay
our taxes. the landlord, who owns all
the property, and ought to pay all the
taxes, escapes taxation entirely. Now,
how can you have equal taxation unless
you find some way Of taxing the land
lord? And how can you tax him except
upon his income? We defy the Sun and
its collegiate correspondent to answer
this question. We challenge it to ex-
plain its theory of the injustice of the
income tax in the light of its own illus
tratiOn. Let it bring out its cyclopedias,
its arithmetics. its grammars, it's rheto-
RIGS. its rhyming dictionaries and prepare
an answer to our question if it dares.

STREET PICKINGS.

The sultriness of the weather during the
past few days and the oppressive heat in
the federal court room have driven the
Jurors in the bank trial to remove their
coats and vests during the sessions of court
and as Mr.. Kern put it the other day. 'sit
in their suspenders."
Seeing the jury disrobe to this extent yes4
terday during the regular afternoon recess
to permit the twelve good men and true"
to stir about for FIVE minutes reminded
ex-Attorney-GeneralN Miller of a story which
he proceeded to tell to the jurors. He
said:
Some years I was trying case up in
Whitley county where things are not
conducted with the formality that is the
rule down here. 1t was a terrible hot day
in August and the sun was cutting across
lots to get at us. We had stood it bravely
for three days and after the testimony had
been all given to the jury We began with
our arguments. Opposed to me was a man
who weighed something over 200 pounds,
and il got so hot that he began to sizzle.
1t came his turn to address the jury about
the middle of the afternoon. and he began
with great big cabbage leaf sitting up on
his head. As he became more and more
enthused the cabbage leaf fell off, and then.
as he began to warm up to his work, the
only relief he could secure was by the re-
moval of his wardrobe.
LAS he started in to tell what an un-
principaled villain the defendant really was
he jerked off his coat and threw it on a
bench. AS he dved into the res gestae'
he shed his vest. The motive for the crime
brought his collar off with jerk and as

slipped from his shoulder. 1t really began
to get interesting.

tween the oratory and the shedding of ap-
parel, ard as that suspender slipped from

1.-THE court interrupted him. You will be
permitted in argument to expose every
thing connected with the crime as brought
out by the evidence, but the court feels
that you have shown a disposition to di-
gress materially. You will please confne
