| with any just theory of taxation. And
the worst of it is that the great majority
of the people who are advocating this
tax are advocating it because it is I'M
equal. The PopuIists approve of it be-
cause they think it will squeeze the rich
and well-to-do, whom apparently they
look upon as public enemies. The South
advocates it because it will mulct the
Northern section of the country which
the people below Mason and Dixon's
line have always regarded with jealousy
and hatred. Our esteemed Democratic
contemporary, the Argus, points out as
one OF its merits that it will despoil
wealthy Republicans. These arguments
are enough to condemn Che tax if there
were nothing else to be said against it.
10 use the taxing power to punish citi-
zens for the offense of being thrifty and
Well-to-do is about as outrageous an abuse
OF 1t as can be conceived of Possibly
1t may be constitutional to SO use it,
but there is grave doubt about it.
While an income tax has been de-
clded to be constitutional by
the Supreme court, it hold
ing that it is not direct but an excise
tax, an income tax with an arbitrary
exemption like the one proposed has
never been passed upon. But whether
constitutional or not it is obviously un-
fair and unjust, and the people on whom
1t is laid will regard it as entirely justi-
liable to avoid or evade it,
either directly Ly juggling with
their incomes, or Indirectly by
saddling it upon Others The rich are
not going to be squeezed half as much
by this tax as the Populists imagine.
The burden of it will finally rest quite
as much upon the poor as the rich.
Mr.. Richard Croker, the boss of Tam
many Hall, points out what will be the
result in New York State Of this method
OF squeezing the rich. Personally he
says, am opposed to any measure that
touches the revenue OF the masses.
CHANGING at the measure casually one
might suppose that the income of those
only who are receiving $4,000 and more
will be taxed Such is not the case.
Look at the landlords in this great city
who are receiving all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 and $780, 600 annually in
rents. To levy tax on their income
means simply an increase of rentals
which comes back directly on the poor
Mr. Croker is right. Every business
man whether his business be renting
houses or selling groceries, will look
upon this tax as one of the expenses of
his business and it will be charged to
his customers. They will have to pay
it

crackers and even the cheese remained
IN the house untouched by them, though
no attempt was made by Mr.. Fairfield to
hlde his provisions
For three days Mr.. Fairfield and his
companion did not leave the tiny hut
except for few minutes. The snow was
falling constantly. The top of the noun
Ion could not reach more than three or
four feet through cloud and snow.
During the storm the observer had the
most extraordinary of all his strange
experiences on that mountain.
He was lying in the hut listening to
the storm and wishing for bright wealth
er, when his assistant, who had gone to
the portfolio to watch the snow and the
clouds, called him.
Mr.. Fairfield was in no haste to leave
his blankets to LOOK at falling snow, but
his companion urged him to come and
to come quickly. He reluctantly rolled
himself and went to the opening. He
was repaid. From the ground short
distance away came kissing sound, as
II the cook of nature were frying half
the mountain. The kissing was continu-
Gus, but varied in Intensity. Mr.. Fair
field cautiously approached the place
whence the sound came. He found that
the noise seemed centred in a little jut
OF rock not bigger than chair.
lie stepped upon the rocK and Instantly
received an electric shock, not so severe
as to hurt him. but sufficient to make
every part of his body tingle. He stepped
from.th rock and Instantly the electrici-
ity left him. One foot from the rock
it could not be loft.
His assistant then stepped upon the
rock. The shock was too much for him.
Evidently he is much more sensitive to
electricity than Mr.. Fairfield, because it
h1lrt him 10 fol l,
body, and every hair stood straight from
his head
He stepped quickly from the rock and
would not try the experiment again.
One experience with an electrical
storm had insulated him against the
desire to repeat it.
The formal record of Mr.. Fairfield's
trip to Alpine Peak is simply line:

CLASS TAXATION.

Nobody will undertake to deny tn t
an income tax confined to incomes above
$4,000 year is undisguised and unblush-
ing class legislation entirely indefensi-
Bile in principle. There is no reason I'M
der the sun why the man who has an in
come of $4,000 or $4,000 or $500 should
not contribute to the support of the gov
eminent proportionally as much as the
man whose income rises above $4,000.
The exemption of $500 or $500 of income
may be defensiDle on the ground that the
man who has only that sum cannot pay
anything. But the exemption of the
man with $1,000 income, while the man
with $4,000 is taxed is utterly inconsistent

The Boston Herald rebukes Congress
man Boutelle and the Republicans for
delaying tariff reform for two days by
refusing to answer to their names when
the roll was called. But the Republi-
cans could not have accomplished any
thing but for Democratic absenteeism.
The Democrats have many more mem
bers than sufficient to constitute a quor-
UNI. We seem to remember that only a
short time ago the Boston Herald was
arguing that the majority party was I'M
der obligation to keep enough of its own
members present to constitute a quorum,
and if it failed to do so it had no right to
complain if the minority sat silent and
refused to help make quorum. That.
however, the Herald would undou btedly
tell us, was when it was arguing against
the counting Of a quorum, and doesn'
apply in this case.

The Eastern Democrats are appealing
to the Republicans to vote'solidly against
tine proposed income tax, urging that
patriotism demands it. But it was rep
resented a year ago that patriotism de-
manded that the Democrats should rule,
but now that the Democrats are in a po-
sition TO rule patriotism demands, ac-
cording to these Eastern Democrats, THAT
they should not rule.

The New Age-which didn't get the
Augusta postofice-says the people
should keep. their eyes on any represen-
tative or senator who shows any abate-
ment of his zeal for tariff reform. The
New Age intimates that such abatement
will be presumptive evidence that the
person affected has been bribed. To
fire off this insinuation just after de-
legation of Bangor Democrats has been
to Washington to labor against free lum-
ber seems little unkind.

Latest reports from Honolulu indicate
that Willis has at last plucked up cour-
age enough to make formal demand
upon President Dole and his cabinet for
their designations in favor of IIiliuokala-
nj, informing them at the same time that
the Queen had agreed to grant them
amnesty. 1t is Unnecessary to say that
President Dole did not comply with the
demand. He did not do his full duty,
however, for Willis still remains on 1.-THE
island. whereas, after his impairment
demand, he ought to have been packed
