They were the prize killers OF the

Their friends let on the result OF

But the list might be prolonged in
definitely. 1t appears that New York
City and Brooklyn milllonaires alone
will pay $4,000, 900 in income tax to
the Government, there being $1,000
900, 900 of accumulated wealth in pri
vate hands TO tax in these two cities.
Levi Z. Morton, the Republican can
didate for Governor OF New York, is
down for $40, 900, 600 fortune, $500,
600 income and 500 tax. Will
lam G.. Whitney, the Democratic lead
er, has S2O, 000, GOO fortune. Andrew
Carnegie's wealth equals this. L APP
pears further that eleven New York
ers have s30,0O0,0O0 apiece: thirteen
have so, 600, 600 each; eight have $50,
900, 900 each. Another two score have
only $1,000, 600 each. No wonder
there was So much opposition to the
income tax among the two old parties.
Any man who now pays $50, 900 year
as tax on his income could get of
cheaplv If there were 10 such tax and
he paid but $4,000 to campaign
fund. We hope Commissioner Pugh
will let no guilty income escape.

Writing by the Letter.

The trade of writing for the press
ION space''-that is by he page, col
umn, or line-haS give rise to many
expedients TO ill space with as little
effort as possible. Many followers OF
this occupation have shown great in
genulty in getting as large an ac-
count of white paper as possible to
their credit by making frequent par
agraphS in their copy" A French
author who was once employed to
contribute continued story to a
newspaper, and who was paid for his
work by the line, was in the habit OF
introducing very frequently such pas
sages as this into his Story:
'lIave you seen him."

The publisher 0f the newspaper at
as an attempt to make money out Of
him by sharp practice. He sent for
the writer, and said:

will pay you hereafter by the letter,
and not by the line. :"
''Yes, but your contract does not

Military DespOtis m.

General SchOfield is anxious to have
an increase in the army. So was
Napoleon. He is anxious to COM
mand that army. so was Napoleon.
He believes brute force should be re-
sorted to to compel obedience to other
III MS ideas. 80 did Napoleon. lie
sees ACKNOWLEDGMENT to army officers
in oyerawing numbers. so did Ma
pOleOn. lie thinks the country ca
pable of supporting a greater army.
So did Napoleon. His policy would
embr0i the country in either civil
war or war with some friendly ma
ton. Just what Napoleon desired.
The General does not recognize the
fact that the army is kept up, fed,
clothed and equipped by money
forced from people who work, while
the army is burden, menace TO
liberty. General Schoileld should be
removed and transferred to Eu-
rope, where fighting is the great pas
time OF kings He gives the "argu-
ment' of trouble with foreign powers
as an excuse fer raising an army to
reduce Americans to serfdOm. So did
Napoleon. He assumes to know just
what are the needs Of the people, and
wants to enforce his views by means
Of an army. Likewise Napoleon. No
man should be allowed to command
an army in republic. Liberty sinks
as an army rises. The people should
have a direct vote on every matter,
including the army and its generals,
who eat the bread Of the people,
witht ut producing or giving anyth ng
in return. A standing army can no
more be defended in this country than
i'm Germany. A government that has
to be supported by an army is wrong,
and should be replaced by just gov
ernment that never needed any other
support than the love Of its people.
When governments become hateful,
when their power is used for oppres
sing the poor, YOU always hear talk OF
increasing the army and elevating
generals. Justice never required
force to compel obedience. Force is
tyranny. Liberty and generals do
not assimilate. SchOfeld should be
retired. Liberty and tyranny are
wayerng in the balance in A nerica
to-day. Nation.

More Money Needed.

Suppose all laws for the collection
Of debts were repealed and business
had hereafter to be done for cash,
what do you think OF there being
money enough to do the business?
Yet debts once contracted must be
paid in money or property, and when,
as last and this year, money is out Of
reach, the property goes at great
sacrifice, and still leaves you In debt,
all because there Is not enough money

CLEVELAND AS A CAR
a BITTER SPEECH BY GOVERNOR
AlTGECO.
He Arraigns the President AMI Attorney
General = Says There Was Conspiracy
to Favor Monopolies-Olneyo on the Rack
industrial Matters.
Grover on the Gridiron.

Gov Altgeld in speech ut Chi
cago the other night, pad his re-
spects to President Cleveland and
Attorney General Olney. The Gov
ernor attacked the President and
Attorney General with all the Bit
ternesS that characterized his recent
arraignment of them in speech at
Mattoon. He compared Mr.. Olney
to Judas IscariOt. He declared there
had been a preconcerted plan at the
time of the strike to use Federal
power for the protection of corpora
tionS. The Governors Remuneration
of President Cleveland was very
plain, although not so severe as the
attack on the Attorney General. He
said that every t of he President
had shown that, instead of being i'm
bued with the principle of protecting
the weak. he was imbued with the
principle of protecting the rich.
The Governor, in referring to At
torney General Olney, said substan-
TALLY:
Another great question comes up
at this time. That is whether the
people are to govern themselves or
be ruled by the iron hand of acentral
power that is lOca ed over 1000 miles
away. TIL 5 year we have experienced
for the first time new kind OF gov
ernment-that is, government by in
junction. Three departments of
gOyernmenO were thus absorbed and
issued from one man. Now, my
fellow citizens, this is serious mat
ter. Ii an officer of court is TO be
permitted TO do this | want to say to
you that the principles OF the great
American Government are already
destroyed Now. in the late labor
disturbances of last summer the eX-
ecutive branch of our Federal Gov
ernment assumed an unheard-Of
power by sending troops into this
State when there was no necess ty
for them. There was preconcerted
plan to use the Federal power of
the Government for the protec-
tion Of The corporations. Now |
want to say that the great State of
Illinois is and has been able at all
times to take care of herself. Last
summer we were told for the first
time that the President had power
to send troops into any city
or a thousand cities at any time
he saw fit. Now, if this con-
StructiOn of the constitution is to
stand, there is no difference between
this government and the empire Of
Germany or the dominion OF the
Car of Russia. But every act Of
Cleveland since he was elected TO
Office has shown that instead of being
imbued with Democratic principles
and the principle of protection OF the
rights and liberty OF the weak he is
imbued with the idea OF taking care
Of the rich at the expense of the
poor. / tell you that before the
nineteenth century closes the stars
and stripes will grandly wave over
people that will not have the clutch
of a Federal court around its neck. !"

The foreign correspondents of L fillmore leaf
tobacco d alers will bid for the contract. In

ment calls fr larger amount of the Mary
land crop than it has ever before used in the
memory of the Oldest Baltimore teali 1t
will lake this year between 5000 and II 900
hogsLeads of the Maryland product, and it
has never before used than 10000 hoesheads
of it. The improvement in handling the Mary
land crop by packers is said to be one reason
for the increased demand.
Under existing law buyers of MARYLAND
tobacco can secure the return of part of the
purchase money from the seller if the crop in
the hogsheads does moi come up to the official
sample. An enforcement OF this law in the
past had good effect in compelling planters
and Others TO be careful that only tobacco of
uniform quality itput in the hogshea1s. This
