In The Shrubbery Puzzle.

Our good friend, the editor Of
the Lafayette Gazette, it is clearly
evident, has entered the shrubbe-
ry puzzle, and is badly lost in its
labyrinthal alleys.
He advances some propositions
in reply to our opposition to and
structures upon the unmsnly and
un-America4 income tax, that
to say the least, are amazing in
their deductions.
We said the income tax tends
to create class distinction in a
land which has heretofore stood
for equality and simple manhood,
To the average American these
distinction of cast, is nsuseating
to his sense of free and true man.
hood. "The tradition of self-re-
specting American citizenship
makes one man as COOL as an
other" and he wants and will TO-
lerate no Legislation that will re-
mind him of a certain inferiority.
If ours is to be a government of
the rich, why should we not in a
sense of fair play, adopt the Eu.
ropean system which gives the
heavy tax payers large prepon.
derance in governmental affairs.
However, we are convinced, that
it is only a question of time when
the sturdy manhood of American
will repudiate the false and de-
grading discrimination which fix.
es the line at $4,000. No true
American citizen will doff his
hat and bend the knee to q sim.
pie Money-Bag.
But, to the proposition laid
down by the Gazette, which reads
"If the income tax were collected
from the rich and given to the
poor that would be class legisla-
tion, and the Democratic party
would not have passed a law &C
grossly inconsistent with it's prin.
ciples." But, friend, that is just
what it did, the poor don't pay, il
is those of means. "Inconsisten,
with it's principles" is decidedly
refreshing when it is considered
that the party had not word in
it's platform referring to the in.
come tax, but filched the ides
from the populists.
But our friend, no doubt, reco.
gnizing the utter futility of ssssil
ing our impregnable position, con
tents himself in Hinging q bricl
at US, by asking "as q matter o
fact, how many of your subscri
bers will be made to pay the in
come tax" Probably not one, bu
the editor will be made to par
with his hard-earned dollars. d

The Pacific Walrus the Most I'm:

A mountain of heavy flesh. wrink-
led and rough, ngly as satyr, and
even more clumsy than hippopota-
mus, lives in the Arctic Ocean where
there are clam beds and enough
open water to afford him a home.
The Pacific walrus is the most I'M
couth and ungainly beast that ever
sets foot on land. For two or three
centuries he has been called the
morse and also the sea horse-possi-
bly, because he is more like horse

much
Three hundred years ago, when
travellers and men of science We're
struggling to obtain mental grasp
of the form and habits of this
strange creature, but wholly unaided
by the collector and taxidermist,
their pictorial efforts produced some
astonishing results-just as may al
ways be expected under such condit-
ions. Marvellous, indeed, were some
of the pictures of the walrus that
were published in the sixteenth
century, in the dark ages when
taxidermists were not, and geological

Of the figure by CLAUS Magnus,
which is half fish and half hog, with
four eyes on each side and pair of
impossible horns, none of these
grotesque figures are one whit more
wonderful than is the true character
of the Pacific walrus.
His real personality was only half
known to the world until, In 1872,
Dir. Elliott landed on the rocky shore
of Walrus Island, armed with sketch
book, notebook and tapemeasure,
and made an elaborate series of stud
les of this species actually at arms
length. His published pictures and
notes were such complete reveia-
ton regarding the actual form and
habits of the Pacific walrus as to
cause much establishment among
naturalists, and to some it seemed al
most beyond belief that the form of
the walrus was really as pictured
from life by this painstakiDg artist.

=" SALTED" CLAIMS.
A Hundred Million Dollar Swindle
in Australia.

Men who are acquainted with
the peculiar methods adopted by
some prospectors during the early
days of California gold mining
have many a tale to tell of "salted"
claims nor is the history Of the
more recent discovery Of gold in
the Transvaal free from such Incl.
dents. But both the Californian
and the African must now yield the
palm. Australia, w hich jealousy
vies with America in producing big
things, holds now the record for
unprecedented mining swindles.
the Nieuws van der Dag, Amster-
dam, relates the following:
I" A few months ago the news
came from Tasmania that a hill
had been discovered which con-
sisted almost entirely of rich gold
quartz. A thorough investigation
was made, and as a great quantity
Of rich ore and some nuggets were
brought from the place no one
doubted the story. The owner of
the golden mountain Isaac B.
Barker, Immediately formed syn
dictate, which issued a prospectus
in which the value of the mountain
was put down at twenty million
pounds. The shares found a ready
market throughout Australia. Some
experienced old prospectors, never
theless, had their doubts, and they
petitioned the government to cause
another investigation of Mount
Huxley. The government geol
ogist, Montgomery, and the inspec-
tor of mines, a gentleman named
Harrison, were sent to the spot, and
now a most gigantic swindle came
to light. Barker had hired miners
and with their assistance sailed
the hill in about eighty places,
using quartz, ore, and even nuggets
to do the job. In the places where
no Sailing had taken place no
gold was found. The police force
now busies itself with Mr.. Barker
and his assistants, and a monster
criminal case will be the result.
The shareholders, however, are we'll
