THE Populist state convention has as
sembled, done its work and passed into
history, or at least into that mini6ed
narrative which will pass for history
when it comes to chronioling the polit-
icsl events of the close of a particularly
busy century. 1t was. taking it for all
in all, very creditsble body. In so far
as its personnel is concerned it was emf
nently respectable. 1t lie exceedingly
doubtful whether any large body OF the
voters OF California can be grouped under
a banner which contains the extreme
declarations of the Omaha convention.
Much of the animus of this body was of
the right sort. but its doctrines are so
radical, aud its demands 80 sweeping,
that it is out of the question that q
majority of the people of California
could possibly endorse either its csndi-
dates or platform.

To A dispassionate observer there
would seem to have been great deal of
wantonness in the killing of strikers at
Uniontown DAY before yesterday by
hired detectives. The facts. as they
have reached US, appear not to have
warranted the turning loose of Winches-
ters in such an indiscriminste manner.
1t is high time that human life should
be held in some estimation by persons
whose authority to kill at all 10 of a most
doubtful character. Strikes are always
to be deprecated and are frequently
wrong, but ruthless ferocity only COM
plicstes the controversies and renders
the adjustment of differences more diff
cult. According to the kilograms, the
cowsrdly slaughter at Sickle Hollow
was kept up after the strikers were in
full retreat.

SENATOR WHITE, in an interview with
the Washington correspondent OF the
Examiner, indicates his belief in the
early passage of the tariff bill. This
will be most welcome news to the whole
people OF the United States. The mas ter
hand of Senator German is credited
with having composed the existing diff
ferences and with having brought order
out of chaos. The Maryland senator is
diplomat OF unrivaled skill, which fact
was demonstrated on former occasion
by his skillful grouping of the elements
that were united in the defeat of the
force bill.

Mr.. @. P. HUNTINGroN, the genial

The Examiner, in its version OF that gen.

tween Huntington and Mr.. Adolph Sutro
shows the railway msgnate in his best
vein of fscetiousness. 1t recalls the racy
style of the letters in which he paid his
respects to the late j. K. Luttrell and to
ex-Congressman Piper, and in which he
treated of certain leaving down the

ONE of the ingenioua theories OF the

No QUESTION is asked oftener than
when the present hard times are likely
to end. 1t is asked in all quarters OF
the United States, and the answers to it
are quite various. Some time ago We
were told that prosperity would return
when the purchasing clause of the Shsr-
man act should be repealed. This WAS
Mr. CleVeland's panacea for the thou
sand ills from which the country is sui
fsring. That is what the gods in the
gallery would call chestnut. 1t ex-
hausted its usefulness long ago. The
next attack upon popular credulity is
involved in the assumption that when
the pending tariff bill has passed con-
gress and received the signature of the
president everything will DO lovely, and
the politico-economic millennium will be
at hand. There is no earthly quee-
ton of the fact that there ought
to be temporary resumption
of manufacturing when the tariff
schedules are once announced, but
the evil lies far deeper than the
Mckinley bill. The United States will
have to develop policy of its own, and
stand on it's own bottom, developing its
natural trade with South and Central
America, and reaching out for the fields
pre-empted by England and Germany.

THE SENATE.
Hill Continues to oppose the Income
Tax.


washington, June 23.-In the discus
sion Of the tariff bill today, Hill said
yesterday would become known in his
tory as Popullst day. No attempt had
been made to repeal the state bank tax
OF to enact free coinage in this bill, both
OF which are considered a part OF the
Democratic platform, while especial ef-
fcrts have been made outside the plat
fcim TO incorporate an income tax In
the bill Having spoken nearly two
hours, Hin gave way to Gallinger who
also opposed the income tax. Then Hill
offered an amendment limiting the ex-
e.nption to incomes of less than $4,000,
which was lost.
An amendment by Ioar to include
the judges of the United States courts
in exemption from the income tax was
agreed to without objection.
Sherman inquired whether any esti-
mate could be made as to the probable
yield of revenue from this tax.
Vest replied that the general estimate
was $SO,000,0O0, but he did not believe
any accurate estimate could be made.
Hill proposed an amendment to ex-
empt the salary OF the president of the
United States from the imposition of the
tax, and used this amendment as a text
for crltlcising, in semi-humorous way.
the action of the finance committee In
exempting the salaries of federal judges.
He failed to see.n he said. why the
salaries Of judges should be exempt, and
he though If compliments were to be
paid, one certainly was due to the presi-
dent Besides. the president happened
to be resident Of New York, and the
tax would fall with an especially heavy
hand on New York. "
II am not authorized to speak for the
president" said Hill, with smile. "in
this or any other matter, but this would
be delicate compliment to one citizen
Of New York, and l think the commit
tee ought to accept the amendment"
"As for Mr.. Cleveland he is the last
Democratic president we shall ever
haze from New York." said Vest.
"The approval is almost irresistible, .
said Hill. turning to him. "He will be
the last Democratic president from any
state.'
The applause in the galleries that
greeted this utterance was quickly
checked by the vice president.
When the amendment was put It was
carried by viva voce vote. Hill then
moved that the interest on United
States bonds exempt by provision of
the bllD be subject to the income tax.
Without voting on the amendment the
senate adjourned.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-06-22

The Republican caucus held Satur-
day afternoon to appoint delegates to
the district and state convention was
tame affair compared with former
years, and showed a complete unity OF
purpose among the Republicans.
This verifies the prediction made by
the SITTER year ago, that the Dem
ocratic action upon the postoflice in
this place would result in soidifying
the Republicans and lessening the
Democratic vote. Further results will
be seen next fall, and the well known
power of the latter party to blundel
will be again demonstrated.
j. w. Melendy and II. A. Dudley
were unanimously chosen delegates
to both conventions, with power tC
choose their own substitutes. This
latter was availed of in the case OF

SITTER PROVERBS.

1t is much easier to preach than tc
practice but the latter goes further
and reaches higher.
H. who thinks that friendship for
the "beggarly elements of theworld, E"
where a dollar is to be had, is confined
to any one sect or ism should be
treated for lunacy at once.
When your cause is good when
you are armed with truth and right
eousness, you need not fear those
who cross the street to avoid speak
ing to you.
Many worry about making the world
better when if they would only strive
to make themselves better something,
to that end, might be accomplished.
If you are not willing to work for
every blessing that you're entitled
too, be sure that the devil has q
mortgage on you that in due time he
will foreclose-prayer will not save
you.
