MONEY FROM INCOME TAX
Senator Hill Estimates the Amount From
the Bureau of Statistics.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Hill
has received a long letter from
Wcrthington G. Ford chief OF the
bureau of statistics, in which he
states that the possibilities of the
revenue that can be raised from the
income tax ranges all the way from
S12, 600, 600 to $50, 600, 900. He thinks
that the latter figure is the highest
which can possibly be hoped for, and
the last few years the collections
would fall below S15. 600, 600 He also
expresses the opinion that the rev
enue which will be collected on pri-
vate incomes will not be more than
sufficient to pay for collections

MIR. TAYLOR's PREDlCAxENT.

The nomination of Hon. G. 81. j.
TAYLOR for the position of Recorder
of Deeds of the District of Columbia
has been adversely reported by the
Senate Committee on the District of
Columbia.
This ensures his rejection by the
Senate.
We have steadily maintained that
the Democratic Party was not the
friend to the colored man, was not &C
tuated by great principles and was
not DESTROYS of rightiDg the great
wrong of a century's growth which
had been done Us by the dominant
element In this country. Here is a
practical example of the truth OF
what we said.
President CLEVELAND seems to be
DESTROYS of doing justice to all men
regardless of their race or color, and
yet he is hampered by a class of peo-
pie who are preiudiced to the core.
The excuse given for Mr.. TAYLoR'E
rejection {: namely, that to confirm
would be violation of the home-rule
plank In the Chicago platform is al
nonsense. This plank has been tori
up some time ago by this very body
What specification in the platform
was violated when this same gentle
man was nominated to be Minister
to BOLIVIA, and why was he then re
iected :
Mr.. TAYLOR is in a peculiar pre-
dicament. His Democratic friend
will not support him because he is ,
Negro, and his Republican enemie
win not support him because he is
: Democrat.
The day is not far distant, howev
or when the men OF both parties VIII
are the creatures of race-preiudic
will have to stand at the bar of put
: lie opinion. and receive the punish
q ment SO justly deserved.
Q AS for US, we are opposed to an
: man. be he Republican or Democra
:, who is so swayed by prejudice tha
a he cannot give a black man fair
D play.
If members of the "a ce will rail-
around this flag, and swear allegiant
