PASS THE BILL.

The New York Times, the principle
Administration organ in this coun
try, is opposed to the income tax as
most New York newspapers are. 1t
seems now 20 have come to that
point where it feels that the income
tax will remain a part of the new
tariff bill, and that the bill ought to
be passed very soon. We take the
following from its editorial:
With or without an income tax the
tariff bill will be promptly passed if
Congress has the regard it should
have for the business interests of the
country.
The income tax is Objectionable, it
is a war tax in time of peace, a need
less, inequitable, inquisitorial, odious
impost. But throughout the coun-
try merchants and manufacturers
declare that taxed income is better
than no income at all. They are
tired of hard times. They want to
go to making money again.
The silver panic destroyed the fall
trade, tariff delay and uncertainty
have killed the spring trade. Put an
end to the uncertainty, pass the
tariff bill in any reasonable form,
and the chief element of doubt and
apprehension in the business situa
ton, the only conspicuous obstacle
to restored prosperity, will be re-
moved
But if the Democratic Senators
and members from the South and
West are determined to levy the
tribute of this sectional tax upon the
North and East, they ought at least
to have the decency to employ some
competent person to revise and
amend the present bill. 1t will be
bad enough to amend the present
bill 1t will be bad enough in it's best
shape. 1t is full of crudities and I'M
fairness and violations of fiscal pro
pretty. Some incomes will be taxed
twice, some more than twice. Surely,
its authors never intended 10 COM
NIT highway robbery in the guise of
an income tax.
The East may, without presump-
ton, ask this small favor. The
Eastern Democrats have protected
the South from the Force bill and the
West from bankruptcy. If they are
to be plundered by these gentlemen
whose battles they fought, they ask
that the plundering be done with
such fairness as the nature of the act
permits.
But with or without the income.
tax pass the tariff bill. The. income
tax is transitory Populist fancy.
IT will not continue in force three
years. The reform of the tariff is q
work of enduring necessity, of per-
manent benefit to the country. The
accomplishment of that work would,
more than anything else that legis-
lation can do. promote the return of
prosperous times

A SNAKE FIGHT.
A Big Rattlesnake Versus a King
Snake,

A Big Rattlesnake Versus a King
Snake.
From the Americas (Ga.) Times Recorder
A gentleman near Magnolia Dell
the other day witnessed a terrible
fight to the death between a monster
rattlesnake and king snake. The
latter was not near 60 large as the
RATHER, but he was plucky to the
backbone and seized upon his veno-
nous adversary without the slight
est hesitation. The two writhed
and struggled for nearly half an hour,
the king snake in the meantime wind
ing the RATHER in his fatal coil.
Tighter he drew it, while the RATHER
made desperate efforts to strike and
also to free himself, but finally gave
up the fight and was crushed to
death. When the king snake eaw
that the victory was his and shat
the enemy was reallydead, he slowly
uncoiled himself from the body of
the rattle snake and quickly glided
into the brush.

Adiposity Would Kill Him.

From the New FORK Herald.
The switchman who stands between
the cable railroad tracks in Broad
way at the Twenty third street
switch is the thinnest railroadec in
town. lie is SO slender that it is no
trick at all for him to stand between
broadway cars passing in opposite
directions. He often has to do this
in the discharge of his duty. If he
should ever become plump he would
probably lose his job and his life
some day at one fell swoop.

1t is misdemeanor to export from

whether dead or alive, also to take or

be punished by fine not exceeding $50

for exporting cartridges from the

soon be here, and then the egg-hnnter
will be on hand. The penalty for rob-
