STILL NO TIDINGS
Of the Missing Spanish War Ship
 Reina Regente.
GREAT PUBLIC EXCITEMENT IN MADRID.
A Former Commander Declares the ves- sel Unable to Weather a Heavy Storm Owing to the Weight
 of Her Armament
A Fruitless Search.

MADRID, March 15.-The Spanish cruisers lola de Luzon and Alfonso XII. have carefully searched the waters of the Spanish and African coasts and the straits, but have found no trace of the missing warship Rena Regente. The only news of any kind that has been received here concerning the missing ship is rumor that British vessel had found her in disabled condition off the African coast and taken her in tow. This rumor, however, is not credited as it can not be traced to any reliable source.
 In the chamber of deputies Thurs day evening Deputy Diaz Moreu, 8 naval officer, read statement of a former commander of the Reina Regente in which the writer describes her as ship unable to weather a heavy storm owing to the increased weight of her armament.

QUITE NATURAL.

Tt is not surprising that an eminent
.traddler should think the gallant
struggle of the silver men in Ken
lucky was worse than straddle;
so our morning contemporary an
nounces that the performance at
Louisville does not come up to the
dignity of a straddle.'
How much dignity" was there in
the ''straddle'' at Denver? How much
at Cleveland? Think of the dignity
of a national convention that was too
cowardly to express an opinion, but
lodged the great issue of the hour and
sneaked away without word for or
against free silver How that conven-
ton swelled with dignity when it
pretended it had no right to say what
it believed, after eight years of pre-
vious annual passages of resolutions
announcing it's views on current polit-
ical topics!
The Kentucky convention of Demo-
Gratis discussed the questions before it
with vigor, and that the free silver
coinage men were outvoted as to the
resolutions passed detracts nothing
from their dignity nor from their in
finite superiority to straddlers and
dummies. They obtained great vic
tory in the nomination of their candi-
date for Governor, in face of the oppo-
sition which had been strengthened
through the admiration of the major
ity of the delegates for Cleveland and
Carlisle Lindsay and McCreary.
General Hardin, the nominee of the
silver delegates, is free silver
man, and his acceptance by the
is triumph for the silver
cause, following defeat on the resolu-
tons. That was an honorable defeat.
1t was met with after a gallant strug-
gle, and we pity the weak and watery
soul that thinks it was worse than a
;traddle." But then what could be
from a straddler?

UNDER ONE FLAG.

A regulation which has been adopted
by the municipal authorities of San
Francisco is a very good one for every
city in the United States to initiate. In
public professions and the gatherings
of various societies, it is ordered that
there shall be but one flag. That is to
be the national emblem-the stars and
stripes.
Lest it may be thought that the lib
erty of citizens IS to be invaded by
this regulation, we will add that BAN
ners of various kinds are to be per-
mitted That is to say banners sus-
pended between two poles or hung
upon one pole by means of a cross-bar
are not to be counted as flags. Any
kind of motto or device or insignia of
any order or society will not be inter-
fered with. It is the flags of various
nations that are under the inhibition
of this municipal rule.
1t is quite proper that people of diff
ferent nationalities who come to the
United States for permanent residence
should respect the flags and institu-
tons of the government from which
they came. But as citizens of the
United States or intending to become
such they should have but one flag
the flag of our country; the stars and
stripes.
The land of his birth is dear to
every man imbued with the spirit of
patriotism. There is no disposition in
this country to create feeling of dis
respect in the breast of any English
man, Irishman, Scotchman, Scandi-
navian, German, Frenchman, Italian.
or native of any other foreign land
for the nation from which he emf
grated or the flag he was wont to
honor. But in the United States there
should be no Irish-Americans. German
Americans, or any other kind of Amer
leans but citizen: of the United States.
giving their full fealty to this govern
ment and the flag which represents it.
One country, one government and one
flag is sufficient for every person who
appreciates the privileges of Aneri-
can citizenship.

to his income than the poor man
does, so that whether the articles con-
sumed are imported goods, or those
produced or manufactured in this
country, the prices of which are in
any degree frightened by means of du-
ties on the foreign articles, the greater
proportion of the burden falls on those
least able to bear it. In the income
tax provision the principle is reversed.
The people of the United States who
are interested in this important mat
ter, should not fail to remember that
the income tax provision was a Dem
ocratic measure. It originated with
the Democrats, was fought by the
Republicans in both houses of Con-
gress, and was signed by a Democratic
President. If some Democratic judges
Joined with the Republicans in de-
Gliding that it was not in accord with
the Constitution, they merely acted
on a legal view of the case. Party
bias or opinion should have no influ-
ence on a judicial tribunal. The JUS
tees doubtless decided according to
their convictions of the meaning of
the supreme law of the land. But
the measure itself was a Democratic
measure, and was founded on the prin-
ciple of justice tempered with mercy.
The best and surest way to settle
this great question, which will yet
enter largely into our national sys-
tenn of raising revenue will be by an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, either defining the ex-
act meaning of the term "a direct
tax" or by a direct provision for the
levying of tax upon incomes, graded
SO as to impose the heaviest share of
the public expenses upon those who
are best able to contribute them, and
who because of the value of their
properties receive the greater benefits
arising from government protection.

THE SILVER OUTLOOK.

Fcee coinage will win if either of the
national parties advocates it in SO. It
viii do 50 chiefly because it should
win, and largely because the prospect
of an increased coinage will allure
hundreds of thousands of votes. 1t is
perhaps absolutely necessary to sue
cess that the cause should be espoused
b. either the Republican or the Demo-
cratic party. This seems essential
since no amount of argument, no cause
however just or reasonable, can draw
men away from their old-time political
mcorinss. We believe, for instance.
that with the Democratic platform de-
manGtng free silver, the South will
remain solid, but would have little
hope that an Independent movement
for silver could carry a single state.

working in the right direction. Let

lies the best chance for success.

An EQUITABLE TAN.


Although the income tax measure
has been robbed of it's force by the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States. the American people
will yet insist upon this most equit-
able method of obtaining revenue for
the expenses of the government. The
country is not yet satisfied that the
ruling of the Court is correct. If
one Of the justices who at first con-
sidered the law to be Constitutional
had not changed his mind at the cru
cial moment and voted the other way,
the law would today be valid and
operative, and the government would
be receiving funds in the shape of
returns from taxed incomes, which
would go a long way towards meet
ing necessary public expenses.
By bare majority of one, the in
come tax law was made void With
so wide a difference of opinion in re-
lation to it on the part of the learned
jurists who determined the question,
it is not surprising that very large
number of the common people failed
to coincide with the decision of that
bare majority.
The question of the validity of the
law turned upon a very small and
technical point. 1t was as to thef ex-
act meaning of the term in the Con-
stitution, direct tax" Many good
lawyers do not today regard the in
come tax as a direct tax in the mean
ing of that instrument Others, how
ever, take the view expressed by the
majority of the Supreme Court But
it should be remembered that the
merits of the measure, apart from that
teehnicality, were not passed upon.
The righteousness of the law is in
that it lays the greatest burden of the
expenses of government upon those
who are best able to bear it. They
also derive greater benefits from the
protection which government affords
to society. Only persons with incomes
above the sum of $4,000 a year are
taxed under that law. To perfect it,
the law should have been graded. But
as it stood it required individuals and
corporations, having large incomes, 10
port the government which gives to
their great properties that protection
which they require. This is equitable
in it's spirit. 1t is taxation for rev
enue in its proper sense. 1t is Demo-
cratic in its nature and effects.
The Constitution provides for a tariff
on imports to pay public expenses.
The Democratic party, being the party
of the Constitution, supports that
tariff principle. The provision, how
ever, is not as equitable as the in
come tax provision, because its eff
fects fall quite as heavily, if not more
SO, upon the masses as upon the
weather. classes.
The consumer pays the tariff tax.
A rich man usually has a smaller fam
lily than the poor man. In a year
he consumes much less in proportion
