THE OBNOXIOUS INCOME TAX.

On the 22nd instant two impor-
tant amendments were reported which
are calculated to mollify the income
tax provision of the tariff hill The
objectors to the bill succeeded in pull
ing its wholesome provisions down far
enough to cover incomes of $1,000,
instead Of running II up the other way
SO as to commence on those receiving
nor less ihau $4,000 or $4,000 per
year. But here is where the railroaders
aud corporations got ia tdeir fine
work in the exemption from assess
ment of their running expenses, So
called We presume if that amend.
ment ia the interest of railroads and
corporations does not afford loophole
enough for them to escape taxation,
then our sympathetic statesmen will
devise some other ways and means by
which they can escape. Senator Shei-
man was obliged to admit that he IA.
vorcd an income tax in 1871, but he
attributed his resent opposition to il
to the prevailing changed condition
and circumstances; saying If the cir
cumstances surrounding his individual
case perhaps) were the same to day as
they were then, he should now insist
upon an income tax. He said he then
believed II 20 he 2 fair and iust mode
of raising revenue, but he did not
think that it was wise now, That S
what is sometimes called candid but
if that is not what may be called strad-
ding the question then ! never saw or
heard an aspiring politician attempt
to get on both sides of a popular issue.
They just seem to study how to do 1t
successluiiy and Sherman can come
as near covering both sides at once as
any statesman we know OF who wants
to be President, but, can't somehow.
Having said in 1871 that he believ-
ed it to be fair and just mode OF
raising revenue, he seems to take a
large bite Of crow when present cir
cumstances impel him to right about
face and say he will vote against an
income tax because he thinks it an
unnecessary invasion of the taxing
rights of States" It looks TO Us little
incongruous for a bell wether in the
Republican flock to now stand up and
advocate the Democratic dogma OF
State rights. He does it, as we think,
to cater to the same powerful element
that Senator Hill is particularly anx-
ious to please and to serve. In our
humble opinion both Sherman and
Hill are shifting their sails in the
wrong direction. They are birds of
feather on income taxation, that's GER
tain, which ever may be the Dem ocrat
and which the Republican.

MIR, OHRIsMAN's WITHDRAWAL.

To the Democratic Voters Of Colum-
bia County:
GENTLEMEN Since the announce
ment of my name in this county as a
candidate for nomination to the State
Senate such action has been taken
in other counties of the senatorial dis
trict, and public opinion in those
counties has taken such direction,
that candidate from this county in
my judgement, and in that of personal
friends with whom l have consulted,
has no reasonable chance of success
in the District Conference.
Besides, this county will present a
candidate for the Congressional nom
lnation with strong probability OF his
success therefore, in the judgment Of
myself and many of my friends, it is
not desirable or proper for the Demo
cracy Of this county to present can
didate for the senatorial nomination
at the same time.
In view of these facts | feel it my
duty, in order to promote the har-
mony and welfare of our party in this
county and senatorial district, to with
draw my name from further consdera-
ton as a candidate for State Senator
and hereby thank my friends through
out the county for their generous sup
port. Wh. CHRIsMAN.

THE PAY OF ABSENT OONGREssMEN

Congressman Sperry, of Connect
cut, threatens to turn on some light
in regard to the pay of absent Con-
gressmen. He holds that the con-
scientious member is the only loser
under the prevailing law and require
ment. Those willing to certify to
being present when absent looking
after their political fencing, &c, are
the ones who get full pay. Now,
$1,000 looks like heap Of money to
pay Congressman, when you come
TO consider what he does and what he
fails to do. Besides their perquisites,
that's their pay. And no matter
whether the wheels of legislation are
clogged by their absence or not, they
want no dockage for any cause what
ever. How would it be for the sover-
eign power to try to help our bewild-
cred statesmen who are now in Con-
gress to settle this dockage question ?
In these times it is barely possible
that the people could find representa-
tives who are willing to take the
$1,000 a year and stand to their
work just like men have to in about
all other avocations of life And, un-
less the dockage law actually docks
the absentee Congressman who per
sists in making false report, we think
the sovereign power had better give
all this tired class of statesmen abso-
lutte. retirement from Office. 1t can
easily be done on this issue No
matter who he is or where he comes
from, we believe the sovereign power
can find Congressmen for $4,000 a
year who will stand up to their full
duty, and who, if absent on private
business when needed to make a quo
rum, will willingly submit to being
docked like other mortals have to.

A Handsome and WellEquippsd Hos

preston Of cheeriness and thorough
equipment that are the result of an
expenditure Of 81, 200 or $1,000 just
made. The hotel has just been open

success as hosts has been so well at
tested by their long continued popu-
larity as managers Of the Carpenter

A Political Lottery.

A lottery was in operation at the
court house, operated by County
Clerk Nottorf, the prizes being town
ship offices. In Grant township M.
Stoves and Samuel Lands tied on
the vote for trustee and drew lots
as provided by law. Mr.. Stoves was
the winner. One ballot was thrown
out by the canvassing board which
was evidently cast for Lands. The
voter had marked the Republican
candidates names correctly from top
to bottom and then in order that
there might be no mistake drew lines
across the other tickets. On account
OF these lines the ballot was rejected.
For justice A. W. Hargrcaves and
H. L. Shepherd tied. In the draw
Mr.. Hargreaves was successful.

WHISKY CASES AFFIRMED.
Hickman, Barr and LOCKER Lose on
Their Appeals.

Among the decisions handed down
by the State supreme court Saturday
were three Of much interest to this
county, being the whisky cases Of
Sam Barr, VIM. Hickman and Dink
LOCKER, appealed from the district
court Of this county. The cases were
tried in the the district court last
spring and the decisions in all are in
favor Of the State and County Attor-
ney Smith.
Barr was defended by c. 5. Craw-
ford and the appeal was made on the
ground that the information was not
positively sworn to but was on belief
Barr was found guilty and the
supreme court sustained the verdict.
VIM. Hickman was defended by
stambaugh & Hurd. The appeal was
made on the ground that an error had
been made in assessing costs and that
the information was faulty. Hickman
was found guilty and the supreme
court sustains the verdict.
Dink LOCKER was defended by R. H.
Kane and the chief reason for appeal
was a claim that the prohibitory law
is unconstitutional in that it makes
no limit to Imprisonment when q VIC
lator does not pay costs and fine.
The supreme court affirmed the dis
trict courts verdict Of guilty.
