allow self-interested persons to
1nisguide you by directing you
to some one else or by telling
you DR.. Matthez' charges are
too high, for that is mistake.

New York Candidates That Are Safe
on the Income Tax.

We printed yesterday the replies Of about
three dozen candidates, now runningfor Con-
gress in the New York and Brooklyn dis
tricts, to inquiries addressed TO them con-
cerning their attitude toward the income
tax and the question Of its repeal.
1t Is gratifying to find that the great ma
jority Of these candidates, Democrats a.
well as Republicans, do not hesitate to de-
clare their unalterable opposition to the go
cialistic tax OF the few for the benefit Of
the many; and that Of the candidates so de-
claring more than two-thirds are ready to
pledge themselves without qualification to
advocate and vote for its repeal. No candi-
date that The SUNS reporters have yet dis
covered dares to say that he Is for the income
tax in its present form, or, indeed, in any
other form.
We print here list Of the Democrats and
Republicans who have spoken up like men
on the most important question now before
the American people:
Second District.-JAnEs Q. CLEVELAND, Democrat
Third District-srxrHEs PERRY sruRot. shepard
Democrat
Third District.-FRAScIs II. WILSON. Republican.
Fourth Dstrict.-wuLlAx j. CoonBs Democrat.
Fourth District.--IsRAEL r. FISHER, Republican.
Fifth District.-CHARLEsG q. BENNETT, Republican
Sixth District-DANEL WALSH. shepard Democrat
Sixth District.-JoHs r. HOWE. Republican.
Seventh District.-FRASKIrS BARTLETT, Democrat.
Eighth District-JoHN N. MITCHELL, Republican.
Ninth District.-T J. CAMPBELL, State Democrat.
Ninth Distributions SIMPSON, Republican.
Tenth Dis,rlct-DASrEL E. sIcxLEs, Democrat
Twelfth DIstrict-J O. McMuRRAY Milhoand
Republican.
Thirteenth District.-R. c. SHANNON, Republican.
Fourteenth District.-JoHS CoSSELLY. Democrat
Fourteenth District.-LENuEL ELY ouIoo Republican.
This list is a roll of honor. These men are
no towards or dodgers. They are safe to re-
sist the tide Of Populism and Socialism in
Se future, and to do all that is in their
wer to wipe out the iniquitous law that
w stands to the disgrace of republic of
me free and equal In districts where both
the Democratic and the Republican candi-
dates are equally sound on the income tax
question, citizens will have the privilege Of
voting according TO their political habit
with the entire assurance that they are not
voting for Populist in disguise or Social
ist or Anarchist in embryo.
A second list will include those candidates
for Congress who, while announcing the in
come tax and declaring their opposition to It
on principle, hesitate or Inadvertently omit
to promise to help vote II out Of existence
THE SUN will have something more to say
about the -pledging opponents of the in
come tax, collectively and individually; and
also something to say about the dodgers.

Our Republican contemporary, the Morn
ting AdUertiser, takes a sensible view of Mr..
JOHN w. GoFF's premature thirst for Office.
The place for that driving young attorney
Is just where he is at present:

committee is valuable to the community that IL
pity he accepted the nomination for Recorder

throwing light upon dark places and In driving the
rascais from power on the bench than on Il. New
York needs Just such tighter Con Is TO with
the great work OF reform the LExow committee has
admirably begun. No higher tribute to Corr can be
paid than say that he the best man In the city 20

"Considerng all this IL Il wise TO place him on the
benchp Who Is able TO take up the work when he
leaves oni Who so well as GoyT knows all about
municipal rottennessf Who can serve the people so
well as her
These pertinent questions every man interested
In good government must answer for himself"
II is too early to demand high pay for pub
lie services until the work is finished and
the results are shown. Whatever may he
thought of Mr.. GoFF's management OF the
case against corruption before the LExOw
committee, his qualifications for judicial Of
fee are unknown TO the citizens OF New
York. Recorder SMyTHs qualifications are
perfectly known to the community. He is one
of the best Judges on any bench. Mr.. GoFF
might turn out to be another FREDERICK
SMYTH. or he might turn out to be another
WILLIAM j. GAYNoR. Recorder SNYTH can
not turn out to he anything else than what
he is and what he is known to be by every
body in this town.
Fame and fortune will take care of Mr..
JOHN W. GoFF II he shall prove himself 10
be worthy of their attentions, and is not too
greedy. He is the man to go on with the in
vestigation and the prosecution of the Of
tenders against the law. Recorder SMYTH
is the man to hold the scales OF justice when
trial day comes, and to sentence the guilty
according 20 their deserts.
