DEBS IN JAIL.

Debs is at last in Jail. He is now
posing as martyr, but IL he really knew
the ridiculous figure he cut at it, he
would quit posing and assume his pro-
per role as amalefactor. He could have
procured bail but he prefers to think
that Debs in Jail will be more powerful
in moving his fellow members to con-
tinued action than Debs at liberty.
1t may be, for the theatrical
often catches with a crowd
when conservative action would fall un-
noticed. But the fact that Debs who
denounced the Government, who prated
about civil war, and arranged his forces
in hostility against the Government and
defied the authorities of its courts, is
now in Jail and the law reigns supreme
isenough to weaken even a stronger
cause, and as the cell door closed behind
him yesterday it must have sent shiver
down his spinal column at the thought
Of what may come now that the ma
chinery Of the law has been set in motion
to punish him for his crimes.
d The Government has plenty of mater
ial on hand to convict Debs of contempt
and like his lieutenant. Phelan, he
should be given a fair but prompt
trial and a speedy punishment.
The time for fooling with Debs or allow
ing him any special privilege has gone
by. lie should be given as he las been,
every opportunity to defend himself.
but no mawkish sentimentality should
be allowed to step IN to throw extra pre-
cautions around a man upon whose
shoulders rests the responsibility for all
the troubles that the nation has gone
through with incident to the strike.
Upon the trestm ent awarded to Debs
in this and the other cases that may be
brought against him much depends. II
the law is sufficient to punish him
severely IL will have q deterrent effect
upon other labor leadess, who hereafter
may be tempted TO follow in Debs' foot
steps, and this Is almost as important
as the punishment of Dsbs.

CARLIsLgs FEELING PROCESS.

Secretary Carlisle cannot keep out OF
mischief very long at any one time, and
now he is, as the Boston Herald sug-
gests, at it again. The Herald says that
he has put forth feeler to sec if public
opinion will permit him to coin the
seigniorage; provided the process is be-
gun in a small way. According to a
Washington dispatch, 1t is understood
that within a few days the United States
mints will resume the coinage Of stand
ard silver dollars to a limited ex-
tent. We trust and believe that
President Cleveland will again in
terfere to check Mr.. Carlisle's silver
proclivities. The sheet anchor of safety
of the business situation Is, and for
some months has been, that the silver
question was thought to be disposed Of
for this Congress by the veto OF the
Bland coinage bill. To reopen the
mints to the manufacture of dis
honest silver. dollars would again un-
settle the mind of business men and
excite apprehensions which could
not but have very damaging
effect. The country wants a long rest
from currency disarrangenent in any
form, and 1T looks with Conscience to
the President for the prevention Of the
disturbance which the Secretary of the
Treasury appears bent upon causing"
If Mr.. Carlisle is trying to 'feel the
public pulse" on free coinage, he can do
SO in no better way. His party is already
tottering to certain defeat and little
more " feeling" on Carlisle's part will
complete the job.

alleged appreciation of gold. 10 gradually as
suming the character OF plausible result.
But this does not change the position Of
sound money men IT all for IL Is recognized
that remonetizxtion of silver would DO dis
astrous without International cooperation.
IL is only question Of now long this tendency
toward world wido decline can go on before
the cations are forced to take action. When
this general tendency is combined with
the tendency toward lower wages in
this country because OF reduced protection
and reduced business, we have the cause for
our special trihulations at this time
Nlt is quite possible.as Henry Clews says. that
the recent strike may give the railroads the
opportunity to make the wage reductions
they desired, and IL so IL Is in line with the
general economic tendency OF things In this
country at present.

The rights OF labor are sacred and will

United States every man is free to offer his

This Republic will never allow the rights of

The Republic has shown its power The law

mics are those who incite to violence, and
that with lawful weapons alone can it carry

that organized labor can always com
mand public sympathy in any righteous,
well conducted movement, and all the more
anxious, therefore, should labor be to discard
that dangerous element that would alienats
public sympathy. Costly as the recent exper-
ience has been to the nation. the states and
the people. IL is worth all the cost II the lesson
we have described has been permanently i'm
pressed upon workers everywhere In This

RESOLUTING AGAIN.

There is Knights of Labor organiza-
tion in Boston, and last night it had a
meeting TO denounce everybody but
Debs. AS a sample of the curious work
ings of diseased mind, The NEWS re-
prints the resolutions adopted by this
organization and which passed unani-
mously:
Whereas. George NJ. Pullman has, By. prom
ises of steady work and good wages. induced
a large number of workmen to settle In Pull
man, Ill; and,
Whereas, by virtue of their presence and
settlement Mr.. Pullman and his company
have been enabled to increase fourfold the
original value of the plant; and,
Whereas, the necessities OF these settlers
and their families have been deliberately
take en- advantage of by Pullman and his COM
pany to bring them down lower than the
level of Russian serfs; and,
Whereas. In supporting OF the villainy here
exposed, the President Of this republic has
utilized his full power as the commander OF
the entire military force of theunion and has
used the means at his disposal to assist the
corporation and bring into subsection all who
would protest against organized injustice;
therefore be It.
Resolved, That as citizens we denounce the
refusal of Pullman and his supporters TO sub
NIT the questions at issue TO an impartial board
of arbitrators. and be II further
Resolved, That we utter our most bitter
denunciation against Grover Cleveland and
his legal advisers who have prostituted their
positions In support of a greedy. soulless plu-
tocracy. and we pledge ourselves now and
hereafte 10 use all our privileges as citizens
of free republic to labor for such change
as will forever render repetition OF the pre-
sent outrages impossible.
Now what absolute rot all this is, and
yet that meeting passed it in all serious.
ness and though the leaders must have
laughed in their sleeves at the ease with
which such buncombe met with the
approval of their dupes, yet 1t is seri-
Gus matter to think that such should be
the case.
1t is noticeable, however, that these
Boston sympathizers confined their sym
pathy to denunciatory resolutions.
Their pocket books remained quiet and
not word was said about aiding in a
material way the foolish strikers in the
West. Yet dollar in cash now would
worth barrel of sympathy.

THE PACIFIC ROADS.
The Adjustment Of Their Debts Still
Causing a Great Deal More Trouble.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The advisable
Of making q minority report against the
bill for adjusting the debts of the Pacific
Railroads Is being considered by two or
three members Of the committee who have
opposed the Reilly bill. When test vote
was had Saturday on a resolution offered
by Mr.. Harris of Kansas, against any ex-
tension Of time to the corporations, nine
votes were cast against II and five for It.
Although the vote has not been taken
upon the Reilly bill, 1t is understood that
two or three OF the five were satisfied
with the amendments to ii and that when
the new draft 10 submitted to the commit
tee Thursday, it will be sure of safe ma
jority.
M. Harris expressed the fear that in
reducing the Governments second mort
gage to first mortgage tho holders Of third
and fourth mortgages on parts OF the
Pacific systems may contend that the
Government has lost its position in the
transaction and become secondary to
their claims upon the property, and may
succeed in an appeal to the courts. II II
In decided to make . minority report, no
steps will be taken until after the vote on
the bill.

Our Massac husetts Income Tax.
Boston Herald.

IL is worthy Of note that an income tax has
long been feature of the system OF taxation
prevailing In this commonwealth. The law
applies to incomes above $1,000. The provision
Is very simple one. occupying less than five
lines OF Section Of Chapter IL Of the Public
Statutes, relating to the assessment of taxes
This section, in defining personal estate for
the purposes OF taxation, includes
as such $50 much of the in
come from profession, trade or en-
plnyment- as exceeds the sum of 5000
year. and which has accrued to any person
during the year ending on the first day of May
of the year In which the tax Is assessed, but
po income shall be taxed which is derived
from property subject to taxation" The tax
upon incomes. like that upon other personal
estate. thus enters into the regular local tax
levy. and 1t varies according to the local tax
rate. A person having an income of $500, for
instance. II properly assessed. pays an income
tax upon $1,000. II the local rate is SIS on a
thousand his income tax amounts TO ~ per
cent. II 1t Is but 50 a thousand. IL is only S,x-
tenths Of one per cent, Thus, ia this State
the operation of the tax is very uneven. A
Massachusetts member OF Congress, should
the proposed national income tax become a
law, will have to pay.on his salary of 5000 a
tax of $50. or per cent. on $1,000 to the United
States Government; and local tax on $500
ut whatever rate may be in the city or town
where he lives. Whether our income tax is
enforced or not depends entirely on the
strictness or laxity of the assessors. But as
very large proportion OF personal property
escapes taxation in this state 1t is likely that
q very large proportion Of the incomes above
the limit of exemption likewise go untaxsd.

A Very Gay Old Widow Loses Her

Is. ise2. less than month

The witness then related that Smith six
months later, married another widow.
John Smith, dressed in homespun
clot hes with form bent, but having firm,
brisk step, took the stand and denied
