mates we are in a fair way to have def
cit of $50, 600, 600 by the first of July next.
With this deficit in sight, the Democrats
give their support to a bill, which, on the
basis Of last year S importations, would,
according to Mr.. Wilson's own estimate,
create another deficiency of SO, 900, 600.
How is this deficit to be met? The ma jor-
ity Of the Democrats in the House, at first
in caucus and then in the vote in the
House, determined to meet it by impos-
ing tax on incomes. There we have the
complete Democratic scheme. e.. . The House

take out the income tax feature. but was
unsuccessful. The closing hours We're

Tom took the proffered hand in its
faultless glove and gave it q rough grip.
"Your guestT he was thinking. "You
old scamp! You don't know that nearly
every penny Of your beggarly annuity
goes to buy your clothes and whisky;
that Virginia does copying and painting
when you are asleep, and wears one
gown month in and month out that the
bills may be paid; that my weekly pay
ment for bed and board will be more
than acceptable. You don't know it,

eventually teach resignation, but who
can say that while the bruise is aching

He stumbled little and sank into the

burn. Her joyous anticipations Of the
first night spent together had been de.
plorably amiss. Tom was discouraged
