INCOME TAXATION.

While the common laborer must al
ways pay an occupation tax (the only
source of lis income) and that too
whether he is employed or not, or
whether he has much or little income,
to lightly tax superauous wealth don't
seem so very inequitable, after all.
Yet no doubt the effort among our
statesmen in Congress will be to show
that the poor mans occupation tax is
all right, while the rich mans income
tax is all wrong, unconstitutional, &c.
An occupation tax, where man has
no occupation, might in equity be ex
onerated, because it is based upon
nothing but the superfuous wealth
of this country, claiming protection
every time it kicks up a strike, may
easily cost the government enough tc
make some extraordinary tax entirely
justihable. But here they kick. The
constitutional protection of individual
rights and privileges, if we interpret il
Alright, is guaranteed to all, without
regard to rank, color, or previous con
dition of servitude but not accord
ing to the financial, commercial, Of
political influence we may be able II
exert individually or collectively, o.
in the shape of trust or combine ben
upon close monopoly or upon higf
individual protection through way'
that are dark and tricks that are vain
We think the least injurious tax tina
can be levied is the little per cen
proposed to be put upon the super
tluous wealth Of this glorious country

FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1895.

Washington reports indicate that
republican leaders are determined to
so filibuster that nothing will be ac-
complished but the passage of the APP
preparation bills this session. At
least dozen or two speeches, in op-
position to the income tax are already
prepared to be thrown in where they
will do the most good as time-killers ;
that's all. The complexion Of the
next Congress being republican, there
seems to be an undue anxiety on
their part to force an extra session,
if possible, because of needed hnan-
cial legislation "a specios of legisa-
ton that the republicans always prefer
to formulate.

HARRY HAYWARDs DEFENSE.
Effort to Bring Third Man, with
Pointed Toe Shoes, I'm the Case.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 2-The delay in the
Hayward murder trial, caused by the i'll
ness OF juror Dyer, is not likely to last
longer than the time set, and the county
physicians say that the sick juror will be
in good condition by the time the court
opens Monday Meanwhile the time is be-
ing improved by the equipment of the
court room with a system of ventilation
which is expected to prevent the recurrence
Of any such difficulty. 1t seems to be
agreed that under the laws the death or
prolonged illness of a juror would mean a
naistrial and the selection of an entire new
jury, though some legal authorities con-
tend that there is precedent for a trial by
eleven jurors, provided both sides consent.
The effort of the defense to draw from the
witness already examined evidence to
the finding of tracks of pointed toe shoes
at the scene OF the murder, has served to
confirm the impression that the defense has
the theory that there was third man con-
cerned in the crime. In this same con-
nection the statement of witness Goosman
as to the bloody condition OF the buggy
is important showing that BliNt's story of
how the murder done cannot be wholly
true. as it would have been impossible for
the murderer to do the deed without being
splashed with blood. The defense will also
attempt to show by expert testimony that
the wounds on Miss Ging's face could not
have been produced as Blixt says they
were, after death when the body was
pushed out of the buggy. BY such testimony
as this the defense hopes to discredit Blixts
story.
The story of Adry Hayward will be at
tackled by the insanity testimony, the effort
being to show that possibly he was him
self the instigator of the crime, or at any
rate that his story OF his brother Harry's
connection is a hallucination. The defense
has permitted the publication of two let
ters written by Miss Cling to Harry Hay
ward. These speak of the loans he had
a.
prove that there We're bonafide transac-
tions between them. The battle will rage
hotly around these letters, which are
claimed by the State to be simply part of
Harrys deep plot to protect himself.
There is much amusement among those
connected with the case over the claim
made by local paper this morning that
the pointed footprints were made by of
it's reporters who visited the scene OF the
murder The claim is alleged to be at
tempt TO get advertising out of the quest
for q. third man.
