WASHINGTON. Jan. 20-"There is a
misconception regarding the income:
tax" said Tarsney (Dem.) of Missouri
this morning. "The bill exempts ell
incomes of $4,000 and less. In other
words, man who has an annual IN
come of $4,000 pays no tax: 4 man
with an annual income of 81, ,1OOpays a
9 per cent. tax on 500, Whicnls the ex-
cess above $4,000. a member OF COD
gress fer example is taxed 2per cent
on On $1,000. the other 81, 900 of bis lacome
beine exempted by the law. 1t is well
that tae public should understand this,
for the impression seems TO oe geneoas61 aa6
that where ones income exceeds S4:OCC
one is taxed on the full amount which
is not correct"

the honor at twenty-eight minutes past
2 o'clock this afternoon, when "Honest"
John Kelly pronounced him the winner
OF the prizA of $4,000 in his fight with
Charles Mitchell, the champion Of
England. The fight was an easy victo-
ry for the American champion. It
lasted only three rounds. and Corbett
was the aggressor from the very start.
Mitchell was clearly out-classed, and
although the fight was q sharp and ex.
citing one, it was really a presided
one IL every particular. There were
fully 5000 people present and all Of
them were disappointed because the
spectacle was 80 short as to hardly give

cially those who had paid S2o for BOZ
seats and come from 1000 to 3,OO(

NO pooI-~rLLrNc RACES HERE.

The aggressiveness and insolence of the
gambling fraternity was never more strik-
ingly illustrated than I'm their proposition
TO rent our State Agricultural Society
Fair Grounds for the establishment Of a
pooi-selling race course.
This sort Of gambling in many respects
resembles a lottery, inasmuch az il Is
participated in by persons at remote
places and may be played" for any
amount and at all sorts of odds. The
players never see a horse. have no op-
portunity to judge of his qualities except
by hearsay, so that the only claim Of
justification for betting on a horse race
viz: That 1t promotes the rearing Of fine
horses and the exercise Of good judgment
is utterly lacking. Any kind Of scrub race
will meet the requirements Of the abb
sentee gambler. What he wants. and all
he wants, Is a race-something 10 oct on.
That was furnished by the winter races
at Gutenberg isnd Gloucester. in New
Jersey, where wretched animals We're
forced through slush and mud and IN rain
and snow, before a handful of people, in
order that the passion for gambling might
be gratifed in a hundred pool-rooms
throughout the country.
The evil became so fragrant that both
New York and New Jersey passed strin-
gent laws to prevent it. not, however. in
New Jersey before a great scandal about
a bribed Legislature had raised a stencil
in the public nostris.
We do not believe that the committee
Of the Agricultural Society will tolerate
any such base use of the sOciety's grounds.
and. no matter what amount may be
offered for the use of the grounds FOR
any such purpose, it should be rejected.
Nor should the grounds be leased with
out specifically providing against any
such abuse. 1t Is even possible that be-
hind an attractive offer by a most worthy
attorney there may be hid, without his
knowledge some sinister purpose by the
lessees. The committee should take no
chances.
