METHODS OF TAXATION.

The income tax, which forms part of
the Democratic tariff bill, will go into
effect on January /, 1895, and every per-
son or corporation receiving an income
of more than $4,000 year will be taxed
per cent on each dollar in excess Of that
figure.
The enactment of this proposition into
law aptly illustrates the difference be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
parties.
Under thirty years of Republican legis-
lation the laws have been 80 schemed as
to require that just about three-fourths
of all the taxes are paid by the poor man,
and the rich man, and those moderately
we'll to do, along with the corporations,
have practically escaped taxation.
Now, however, the Democratic party
steps in and revises this system, making
the moneyed man and the corporation
pay special tax to even up for the i'm
munity he has enjoyed in the past under
Republican legislation, and henceforth
the capitalist and the corporations will
have to pay for the support of ths gov
eminent just as does the poor man.
That's Democracy and good doctrine.

TO Coin More silver.

Representative johnson, of North Da-
kota, introduced in congress yesterday
bill providing for the unlimited coinage
of silver, although his bill does not pro-
vide for the free coinage of the white
metal In 1876 a joint resolution was
passed limiting the amount of subsidiary
coins to be coined III one year plus the
amount already in circulation to $50,0O0,-
600. The object of Mr.. Johnson's bill is
to remove this limitation and give the
secretary of the treasury authority to
coin as many fractional pieces of silver
as he may desire. No limit is to be
placed on the amount in circulation.
Mr.. johnson states he was led to intro
duce this bill because of the many com
plants he and his colleagues from the
western and southern states receive of
the great scarcity of subsidiary coins.
This bill would receive attention imme-
diately were it not so near the end of the
session, but 1t will undoubtedly be con-
sidered and passed at the ensuing Decem-
Der session.-Denver Daily Mining Rec

If China is already in the market for
loan, what becomes of that story about
an enormous war fund which has been
piling up for years to be used in case of
needY Silver has been flowing into China
for generations, and no one knows just
what becomes of it. That may have
started the war fund report. The loan
proposition demonstrates that Chinas
credit is good. If the war continues in
definitely it may materially improve the
silver market. During considerable
part of our civil war the government
spent over 100000 day. Any con-
siderable fraction of that expenditure by
China would make work for American
silver miners.

SS3,3I2,OOO Acres.

Two-ffths of the entire area of the
United States consists of arid land and
upon 616,000,000 acres crops could be
produced with water. At present only
about one-half of one per cent of this
land is under irrigation.
Only those who understand and appre-
ciate these facts are aware of the i'm port
ance of the subject of irrigation and of it's
connection with the development and
prosperity of the entire country.
All phases of the problem will be dis
cussed at the Third National Irrigation
congress which convenes in Denver, Sep

value to every citizen are expected.
In addition to the work performed, the

CLOUDED IN MIND.
The Strange Passenger of
the San Juan.
MIR. APPEL Taken From the German
Hospital to Be Examined by the
Insanity Commissioners.

M. APPEL or August Reichter, whichever NAV
be his real name. is again an inmate of the Re-
ceiVing Hospital awaiting another examination
before the Insanity Commits sioners.
His strange story was published exclusively
In THE CALL last week. 1t viii be remem-
bered that he was sent to the German Hospital
week ago by some of his fellow-countrymen
In this city VINO became interested in his case
after reading it In THE CALL, in The hope that
he might there regain his reason. But The hope
has proved vain.
An attempt was made yesterday to get a
coherent story from him, but 1t was useless.
He would talk nationally enough for a few sem
ttDces nd his mind would then relapse into
vacancy. He said he remembered being put
on board the stramer San Juan III Guatemala
but who took him there or for what object he
did not know.
San Jose, Guatemala, and thought II lie could
see the German Consul he would be all right
Being asked what he wished 10 see The Consul
about he replied that he would only tell that TO
the Consul himself. He had lots of things to
tell him.
isn't your real name August Reichter ?"
was asked.
'.My name was APPEL on the steamer and il
is APPEL here" was the reply.
but your real name was Reichter," was
urged.
This seemed too much for him. and the only
reply was vacant stare.
Then he was questioned about his property
in San Jose, and be replied that he had lots
OF land there. To the questions as to whether
his property had been cUnfscated and il he
had been shipped out OF the country he could
not or would not give an answer.
He APPEARS 10 be perfectly harmless, aud
leaves the impression on the mind that his
rea son has been clOnded by some ment 4 shock
possibly unrequited love, which left him an
easy prey TO INSCRIPTIONS men. There Is every
probability hat he will be sent to an insane
asylum. where he will soon be forgotten by
those who have taken temporary interest in
him.
Perhaps the next steamer from Central
America may bring news that may throw
Reicbier. AT present II looks as IL grea.
wrong had been done TO a man incapable of
protecting his own interests.

BROWN AND HIS BICYCLE.
How a Convicted Burglar Gets a
New Trial.

The Supreme Court has reversed the judy
menI and sentence of The court below in the
case of The People VS.. John Brown, convicted
of burglary and sentenced to term of impris-
onment.
Brown stole bicycle from house where he
was working for his board, and his defense was
that he did II all TO spite another boy. He only
meant to take the machine away and bring
IL back that night. Acting on this, Browns
counsel argued that in order that his client
should be convicted of the crime it would be
necessary TO show that he had taken the bicycle
with feionious intent.
The court. however. in lnstructing the jury,
said this was not so. If The boy had meant to
ride far away, ana had takrn the bicycle
twenty-five miles or so merely TO help him on
his journey. The offense would be larceny just
the same. Similarly, If man took lofse aud
rode It twenty-five miles, and then left it some
where for another to take, he would be guilty
OF larceny, inasmuch as he converted the
