TacoxA, jane 7.-[Special. The con-
trac. for surveying the Puyaiiup reserva-
ton school farm has been let and work
has been under way for three days. and
yet the injunction which the Indians
who oppose interference in the survey on
the part Of the commissioners appointed
to plat, anpraise and sell the land. promise
To clap onto the com missioners the minute
they attempted to 60 ahead with the sur
vey has not been forthcoming. Chairman
Anderson, Of the commission, says he Is
simply carrying out his instructions, and
gives no heed 20 the injunction talk.
The contract for surveying the farm Was
let to Warren Il. Keith, of this city. and
Mr.. Keith says he is to b paid so per day
for force Of seven men. There were sew
eral bidders a might be expected ~ re-
suit of dull times, and it il said there was
discrimination in favor Of Tacoma survey
ors sufficient to render the contract worth
less ii some Of the Seattle surveyors cared
to take the time or pains to contest it.
James l. Mcpherson, of Seattle, II under
stood to be one Of the ''iowest" bidders.
but what can be learned from those in
touch with the out-of-town bidders they
are much more exercised over the report
that the Tacoma surveyors were allowed
to paw" over their bids before submitting
their own. OF course the bid should legally
have been let to the lowest bidder, and
until an explanation can be secured Of
Chairman Anderson. who was not in his
office this afternoon when reporter for
the Posr-IsTELLIe EScER called, il ID fair to
assume il was, and that the out-of-town
competitors are disgruntled over their
defeat. Still. If it IL true. as reported,
that there was an understanding that the
outside bidders were to be turned down.
regardless of the merits OF their bids,
they are entitled to hearing.
Mr.. Keith says:
1.-THE Seattle bidders. or at least one of
them, have been told; stated to the CON-
mission that there was no one here conn.,
petent to do the work, inasmuch as the
Seattle party claimed to have private
notes. and would thereby be enabled to
find the points. After such break do
not blame the commissioners for not let
ting the work to them. At any rate the
work il being done by day labor, and not
by contract. as IL was not known just how
much work would be required. SO it makes
no difference. and the commissions had the
right to let 1t to whomever il pleased. I
should imagine from what have heard
that the Seattle parties had very low bid.
No bids were invited. but they were forth
coming nevertheless. / knew that the
work would be done before mention of it
was made generally. l found the points
easily and have already accomplished as
much as / might reasonably expect to ac-
complish in q week. Most of the stakes
were placed the - by the government sur
yeyors twenty years ago, but they can be
located from reference trees given in the
description. In one instance We found the
original stake, but it was ready to fall to
pieces"

We regret to observe that the grave and

toward one another that does not COM
port WITH their alleged dignity In the

attention to the fact that Senator Allen.

the surroundings of the Senator from
Nebraska beforeshe entered the Senate
were such as not to allow him to use
those courtesies which all gentlemen re-
garded. Mr.. Allen replied that the Sena-
tor from New Hampshire had accused
him of bargaining, knowing the charge
to be false, and said he would stand by
his position in spite of the. low, dirty in
situations of the gentleman from New
Hampshire. In old times duel would
have followed before the next morning.

selves with refusing to speak as they pass

the populous States of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut permanently to
the Republicans. His arguments and his
predictions, however, had no effect
upon his aud itors to change their inten-
tions, though it could not have failed to
make a deep impression upon them.
The Democratic senators have so thu or
oughly committed themselves to the tax
for the sake of Pouplstic votes that they
cannot retreat if they would. The in
come tax is the price they are paying for
votes to pass the tariff schedules of their
bill, and to withhold it is to put that
bill in jeopardy. The very features of
the tax that should condemn tits con-
finement to particular class, its unreas-
enable exemptions and it's sectional char
acter-are the ones that make it popular
with the popuAstic and communistic
elements of the community. II it was
levied on all incomes, or on all incomes
above thousand dollars, it would have
no chance of passage whatever. But be-
cause it strikes only the rich it is CRATE
Tul to the Popullsts, and because it
strikes principally the Northeastern sec
tion of the country it is grateful to the
South. The very features that ought
to condemn it in country founded on
the principle of equal privileges and
equal burdens on it are the ones that
make it popular. There is no section in
the whole bill which it would not be
easier to strike out than this.income tax
provision. 1t is the one feature which is
absolutely certain to remain.

Senator Hill made a strong speech
against the income tax, attacking it on
the ground of unfairness and alleging
that some of its features were unconsti-
tutional. He showed that it was a viola.
ton of Democratic principles, that it
was Unnecessary, and that it was put in
for the ignoble purpose of catering to
the socialistic and communistic elements
of the community. He alleged too that

The prisoners in the Illinois penitenti-
airy have been set at work manufactur-

cigar makers have entered protest and APP
pealed to Gov. Alleged, who replies that
cigar making will be stopped when any
work is suggested that will not affect
free labor. OF course no work of that
kind can be suggested and SO there
must be some copetition with free labor
or the prisoners must be supported in
idleness. 1t is certain that the great mass
of the people will never consent to the
latter. AS matter of fact great deal
more complaint is made over the compe-
