THE rKoPosED INCOME TAX.


THE PROPOSED INCOME TAX.
It Is difficult to understand what
could have brought our Democratic
friends to their present position upon
the proposition to levy q tax on incomes.
During the civil war period, when
clouds Of shadowy portent gathered
deep and thick on the National hori-
zon, and the grayest apprehension and
deepest gloom pressed heavily upon the
minds and hearts Of the people who
longed to see the restoration Of union
and peace. To secure that end, loyal
men submitted willingly to burdens
that would not have been tolerated
under any circumstances but direst
necessity. and cheerfully and heroically
submitted themselves to the inquisi-
torial methods and burdens Of an in
come tax, among other war measures.
But, strange to say, the very same men
who, with all the bitterness which
could possibly be put into words, then
opposed and denounced as an outrage
ons infraction Of civil and private
liberties, the inqnisitorial methods In
cumbent upon the enforcement Of such
a law, now in a time Of peace, cody
and deliberately reverse themselves
and advocate and endorse what they
before so vehemently opposed.
It certainly may be said that the
Democratic party of to-day is not seek
Ing to beco1sistent. Fair minded men
cannot fail to see in this Income tax
proposition the shade of Socialism to-
ward which the Democratic party is
drifting. And the present doubt and |
mistrust of all vested interests, and |
the paralizing Of trade and commerce,
are all the immediate growth and fruit
Of the demagogic vaporings and cor
rupt political fnsions with communistic, |
socialistic and populistic elements in
;he last National campaign. Demo-
rats, who are Democrats in the real
'ense of the term, see this, and now
realize that the nation must look be-
'ond its present management for a.
better condition Of things.

THE President hae seen fit to again
antagonize Senators Hill and Murphy
in submitting to the Senate the name
of Wheeler II. Peckham for Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court. Peck
ham is much more -distasteful to the
New York Senators than Horrible wer;
but Senator Hill will be placed in q
more difficult position to defeat
this nomination, as it is accepted that
Peckham IS an abler lawyer than
Hcrnblower. But the Senators have
strong feeling against Peckham,
for in 4 reported interview. after
the Senate had refused to confirm
Horn-blower, he tPeckham) isquot-
ed as berating and abnsing the
Senate for refusing TO confirm the
Presidents appointee. The senator's
are very sensitive on this point and
they may retalIate BY preventing his
confirmation. In any event We may
expect renewal of Che recent fight
with added vigor upon the part Of
Msssrs. Hin and Murphey BY reason Of

dents absolute disregard Of the New

Senatorial conrtesy counts for great

In country places where amusement
is not abundant and people depend
upon each other for diversion, neigh
borly familiarity naturally f1ourishes.
and the habit of running i'm to visit
friends may be carried to an unpleas-
ant excess. A family living in North
Carolina found it something of strain
upon their ideas of hospitality to be
obliged every day to entertain a tedi-
Gus woman of eighty. The favorite
book or the necessary piece of work
had to be put aside, in order to shout
bits of conversation in her ear. At
last the father in desperation planned
to go into a sudden fit of temper in the
presence of the obnoxious caller in the
hope of convincing her that they were
not pleasant people to visit Accord
ingly, one evening, when he returned
from business and found the old lady
present as usual. he began to talk
loudly and in an irritated voice. Then
growing more excited. he stamped
about the room. knocking furniture
right and left, and ended by going ont
and banging the door after him. The
old lady knitted away quietly through
the confusion, and when the man was
gone she turned to the family, and said
in comforting voice: a. reckon it
was mighty lucky was here. or you'd
have to take it. But you needn't be
frightened. I'll stay right here with
you till he gets over it.''-Youth's Com

A Trip 10 Sour hcrn California.

Beginning Oct. %, daily tourist car
will be run from Chicago to the Pacific
coast, via the great Rock Island route;
Chicago TO Kansas City, thence Wichita
and through the beautiful Indian Terri
tory, via Fort Worth and Ell Paso, Tex
to Los Angeles and Sau Francisco. This
car will leave Chicago daily on train No.
II at 6 p. m, and passengers taking this
route will not only receive the benefit of
very superior accommodations, but also
will save a great many hours in time.
The new southern route is particularly de-
sirable in fall and winter season, and the
well known reputation of the Rock Island
ENSURES passengers comfortable trip.
Our patrons are always provided for in the
best manner possible, and these cars will
be in charge of a Pullman conductor as
well as porter, and everything pertaining
TO the comfort of our patrons will be care
fully looked after and a pleasant trip
guaranteed.
Adding this daily car to the Crock

interview" with Croker until IL
exploded in print. But before the
typewriter copies of that document
were distributed for publication Mayor
Gilroy went carefully over it and
crossed out in ink everything about a
central power" the great boomerang
of the 'interview." But Mr.. Croker
would not consent to that mutilation,
for he considers it the strong point of
his manifesto.
The reason he was so emphatic in re-
fusing to retire was the dread of Mar
tins power. This Martin has been
very shrewd in acquiring great wealth
unostentatiOusly in Cookers shadow,
as it were That element in Tammany
which secretly opposes Croker affiliates
with Martin. Many New Workers Won
der why Croker, of all the sachems. is
a target for attack. The others have
profited as much as has the boss. Mar
tin, the police commissioner, is charged
with being a millionaire. Not so long
ago he drove street car. This wealth
to-day is in brown stone mansion,
horses and carriages, stocks in railway
companies and all that. Cookers idea
of introducing business" men into
the order was put into his head by
somebody as blow at Martins grow
ing power.

ROSWELL P. FLOWER. and trading"
Hence Tammany will find the work Of
pulling their city ticket through much
easier provided the state nominees are
not very good. The present plan is for
the Tammanyites to become enthusiast
tic over Flower, to espouse his cause
and to laud his civic virtues, with an
idea of weakening him with an influ-
cntial section of the state democracy.
Having thus concentrated Tammany
opposition upon one man. it is pro-
posed to put Gilroy or some other
regular" individual on the local ticket
and carry him through by sheer trad
ing" For Richard Croker is by no
means blind to the promising POSSIBLE
itics of a simultaneous election of
state. municipal and national field of
candidates.
Gov. Flower is thus IN the position of
being supported by an element which
is largely opposed to him. 1t is no
new thing for Tammany sachems to
adopt this policy. With rare adroit-
ness they utilize their very unpopular
ity. This Machiavelian profundity of
method originated in the brain of
Thomas f. Gilroy. Half the time it is
impossible to divine Tammany's real
intention, so subtle is its apparent OPP
position and SO potent its counterfeit
hatred of candidates for whom the ma
chine works in secret.

a youth who is widely known as rapid
came in with story of the suffering
he had seen. and emptied his pockets
of all their cash and heaped the sum
on billiard table. Instantly every
man present began pulling out
greenbacks and gold, making, al
most in twinkling, pile
that reached an imposing total Then
the question arose as to how the money
should be donated. and it was finally
concluded to give it anonymously to
a relief fund for the East side unem-
ployed, and this was done. The dona-
ton reached several hundred dollars.
Other clubs have been equally lioer-
al. If the names of all such contribu-
tors were published it would be found
that the most fashionable men in New
York have been approximately liber-
al when iberality meant much, for the
now vanishing hard times have
pinched the Four Hundred as much as
