A SPURIOUS CLAIM.
The Income Tax Measure Purely Demo-
cratic.

cratic.
The report has become current
throughout the west and northwest
that the populist delegation in con-
gress claim to have forced the adop-
tion of the income tax amendment to
the Wilson tariff bill
No more unjust claim was ever made
by any party or party people. The
democrats acted independent Of both
populists and republicans in preparing
and bringing forward this measure.
They had voted enough of their own
and to spare, and Notwithstanding the
claims made by Mr.. Simpson, of Kan
sas, as the leader of the populists in
the lower house of congress, the evil
dence is all against any such action
being taken by the democrats at the
suggestion or at the forced dictation
of the populist delegation.
On the rollcall of January ), to
adopt the rule, against which the re-
publicans filibustered, the record
shows that all the populists in the
house, instead of voting for the rule,
filibustered. except Bell, who voted
for consideration. Page 537, second
session, Fiftythird congress. On the
second rollcaH Bell refused To vote,
but on all other votes on that measure

Gratis.
On the following day, the same or
der of proceeding was continued. and
all the populists were filibustering, as
shown by the record, pages 544 545 and
$40. On the Sth of January, page 565
| it is shown that the rule brought in by
the committee on rules, was adopted
by vote of 100 yeas, to no nays, not
voting, 161. OF this 161, the following
populists appear: Baker, of Kansas;
Bell, of Colorado: Bowen, of Mime
sofa: Davis. Of Kansas: Harris, of Kan.
sas; Hudson. of Kansas; KEN, Of Ne
braska McKeighan, of Nebraska
Pence, of Colorado; Simpson, of Kan
sas. making solid populist vote against
consideration for the bill. 1t is there

were able to shape the character, as
we'll as the time for consideration o.
this measure, Independent Of the pop
ulists' vote. under the leadership o.
Mr.. Simpson. The populists' vote die

The bill was reported the last of De
cember Wilson gave notice in Decem
| Der that he would call it up on th'
first day of the session after the holi
days. He gave that notice December
81. On Friday. the 5th of January

adopted until the Sth. The bill was

has been nearly deserted. Last summer
two prOspectOrs uncovered the mouth of
an old shaft and glanced curiously down
it. They saw the ice, which reached up
to within four feet and eight inches of
the surface. They considered it curious
and thought what a good place it would
be to keep their meat, butter and other
food from spoiling while they We're work
ing in the neighborhood. They lowered
their provender into the ice mine with
the best results.
Naturally they told of their find to
other miners. with the result that for a
radius of three or four miles around the
miners came to the ice shaft, lowered
the beef and other provisions into the
mine. putting their tag on it, and hoist
ing the rope from time to time as pro-
visions were needed. 1t is godfnd TO
the miners. as it enables them to keep

All the men about town vino play
cards are king about the two remark
able hands held not many evenings ago
at the Pacific Union club, and the doc
trine of chances is being calculated to
ascertain how soon such a coincidence
might be expected to happen again. The
general belief is that no such hands were
ever held simultaneously before since
poker was first played. and that no one
now living will ever see them so held
again.
For the benefit of the truly good it
may be stated that royal flush is the
highest hand in poker. II consists of a
sequence of ace, king. qneen, knave and
ten in any one suit. As may be sup
posed. the appearances of this hand are
like the visits of the angels and not much
more frequent than denrition in hens.
Considerable poker is played at the Pa.
citic Union, but a royal flush had not
been seen in months .nf.l the uccurrenc
of the other night,
There are four tables IN a row in the
poker room at the club. -Four men were
sitting AT each of the two middle tables
At identically the same time one OF tie
players at each of the two tables held a
royal flush in diamonds. And as if thi,
coincidence were not sufficiently unusu-
al, each of the lucky two got his hand IN
exactly the same way, getting the ace,
king. queen and knave on the deal and
the ten spot on the draw.
One only won S35 on his hand, bat the
winning of the other was so big that he
has kept the exact amount to himself, SC
as not to excite remark.--San Francisco
