Miss ALICE l.. WooDBRIDGE's argument
for the pensiOning OF all women over fifty
years Of age is out OF harmony with the great
principle OF equal rights for persons Of both
sexes. We cannot put women OF fifty on the
pension roll unless We also Put men of the
same age on IL. Women are winning many OF
their rights In these times. but We are sure
that few OF them would favor Law giving
them the right OF trampling upon men. Il is
true that the men might be benefited indi-
rectlY by the psnsioning Of the women. The
woman who drew the PENSION would pretty
certainly find that she had 10 share It with
man a little older than herself or. 10 other
words. she would have to support her hus-
bsBd She could not bear to see him. or even
her sons aud daughters starving while ale
grew fat upon her pension. We fear that
Miss WooDBRIDGEs pension system would
work badly. both for women and men. We
fear that lots Of men. not all OF them old, would
want TO marry women about nifty. so as TO live
the rest Of their lives az the expense Of their

A WILD DAY IN MANSFIELD.
Rumors Fill the Air, and Some Ri
| citing Occurs.

Mansfield, Jan. 29.-This has been an
exciting day in the Mansfield coal re-
gion. From dawn TO dusk, reports of
intended outbreaks by the striking
miners in different locations have been
heard, and Sheriff Richards was kept
busy disposing of deputies to protect
the threatened plants.
Early in the morning the miners
were said to be marching on the Arm
strong works; then they were assem-
bling for an attack on the works of
Foster & Steen; in the afternoon a
mob was reported to be gathering
about the Ridgwood mines and in
tended an assault at the Rend &
/ Cherry mine near Mcdonald.
| While there was good ground for
the rumOrs, in every instance the
prompt appearance of the officers Of
the law had the desired effect-the
strikers would quickly dispense with
out having committed a serious breach
of the peace
! Since the afternoon the situation has
developed no immediate alarming fea-
lures. Sheriff Richards believes the
worst is over, but will keep deputies
in the district several days.
| Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned at Power Hill during the day
| by the announcement that the anarch-

A riotous demonstration occurred al

Seventy-two Slavs in the Toms Run

An attempt will be made tomorrow
to start a number of the works. Il

THE INCOME TAX.
McMiIIin, of Tennessee, and others
Talk in Favor of 1t.

Washington, Jan. 29-The general
debate on the internal revenue bill was
opened in the House today by McNIil-
lin of Tennessee. He began by attrib-
uting the present depression in bust
ness to the protective policy of the
Republican party and declared: Come
what will, we will reduce the tariff
to a revenue basis The large revenue
necessary for the support of the
government, he said was raised
almost exclusively from consumption.
There was very little of it from the tax
of wealth of the country at large. "A
man owning fifty or a hundred millions
worth of property pays only on what
he eats drinks and wears he con-
tinued, and then proceeded to argue
in behalf of tax on the large incomes
for the safety Of which this government
| is a guarantee.
Before McMillin began his address
NIcCreary, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, reported his resolu-
ton expressing the sense of the House
on the Hawaiian situation. The mi
nority was given leave to submit their
views
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on the tariff bill and
AIcMiliin offered an amendment to
the provision imposing a tax of 81 per
thousand on cigarettes.
The entire internal revenue bill was
then read. When the reading of the
bill was completed, McMillin was recog-

my recovery, so 1 take this mode of
ending my suffering This is premedi-
tated. L hope it will be a success.
~. w MARTIN"
The coroner was summoned, but de-
cided an inquest was unnecessary.

was employed as a brakeman on the
Rio Grande Western, but was COM
PEELED to resign on account of ill-health.
He was member of the knights of

his wife up to 1889, when they separat-
