The Boston lawyer who has written a
pamphlet on ''How to Pay Your income
Tax has grievously misapprehended the
desires of the public. What men are after
now is information that will tell them
''How to Avoid Paying Your Income
Tax" 1t is not probable that this war
measure will fall very heavily upon the
citizens of Maine for comparatively few
of them are blessed with an annual income
sufficiently large to come within its pro-
visions nevertheless all of them will be
subjected to the annoyances of its inqui-
sitOrial methods.

The fact has been brought out in con-
nection with the mass of material relative
to Japan. which has been made interest
ing by reason of the war in the East, that
twenty years ago the persons of the EN-
peror and Empress of that country were
sacred. They were seen by no one except
the high court officials, and even then the
Empress face must be yelled. Today the
ruler of Japan is actively conducting its
affairs, and his face is as familiar to his
subjects as that of President Cleveland is
to the people of the United States. The
Empress, too, visits the free hospital of
Toxic, and engages in public charities of
all kinds as freely as do the ladies of any
western land. This rapid change is char
acteristic of the new Japan, and simply
serves to show how rapid has been the
march of that wonderful country in
modern civilization.

The demands made upon our
columns during the session by the
regular Senate and House reports
are such as to leave US absolutely
no room for conducting a forum,
neither do we think it incumbent
upon US to do so. The Legislature
will give every man who has any
thing to say i'm regard to proposed
matters of legislation ample OPP
portunity to be heard. 1t is for this
purpose that committee hear
ings are held, and due notice Of
them given to the Interested pub
lie. We can not exclude our
teiegraphic dispatches to provide
composition and secure space for
articles embodying personalviews
and designed to influence iegisla-
ton.

1t is now pretty definitely ascertained
apparently that the arms and ammuni-
ton used in the recent rebellion at Homo
lulu were paid for with money furnished
by Claus Spreckles the famous sugar
king. 1t is also broadly intimated that
the whole Cleveland Hawaiian policy was
outlined by Mr.. Spreckles and accepted by
Mr. Cleveland prior to his election in con-
sideration for substantial financial assist
ance in his campaign. Upon no other
basis is it possible to account for the re-
markable course of procedure which the
administration has seen fit to pursue in
this matter.

1t is gratifying to note the change for
the better in the public sentiment of
Georgia regarding the internal revenue
officials, who are engaged in the work of
ferreting out Illicit stills. For a long
time there has been altogether too much
sympathy with the moonshiners. To such
an extent has this been true that it is said
that some of the horrible murders which
have been committed, in the course of
these contests between the authorities
and the owners of the Illicit stills,
have been committed, or sympathized
in, by near relatives of the victims.
In one case the murdered man was
betrayed by his own wife and mother,
who considered that he had forever dis
graced himself by acting in conjunction
with the revenue officials. But now a
sentiment is growing among the people
of the state that the perpetrators of these
crimes should be punished, and action in
that direction has already been taken.
1t is to be hoped that this indicates the
dawn of a new and brighter era in this
great southern state, where law and order
have SO long been under cloud.

Hot house Strawberries are now selling
in New York city at the small price of
three dollars basket The fruit is large
and beautiful but the bottoms of the boxes
are very near their tops and about four
teen berries fill all the available space
they afford. This is at the rate of about
twenty-five cents berry. Such an ex-
penditure looks ruinous to the average
down easterner; and still it is barely pos
sible that the New York city banks will
be able to purchase the next $50, 600, DOC
worth of five per cent. bonds that shall
be issued by the Cleveland administra-
ton when the necessities of the govern
ment again requires such an addition to
the national debt

1t is a relief to reflect that when the
next Congress convenes men who desire to
express little American sentiment upon
the floor of Congress, as did Hon. c. A.
Boutelle, the able representative OF the
fourth Maine district, in connection with
Hawaiian affairs will not be choked off by
speaker who essays to play the part OF
a despot, and by a crowd of cuckoos,
whose belief is, apparently that the Presi-
dent of the United States, if he belongs to
their party, can do no wrong.

A Remarkable Recital of a Re-

Full and Interesting Particulars
of a Case that Attracted
Wide Attention.
Mrs. AdeIine Munson, Who Resides in Needy
bemps, Maine, Declares:

For many years past have been af1lict
ed with general debility, sleeplessness and
numbness in mX thands and feet, caused
by poor circulation, and impure blood
Was at times affected with, headache. dir
illness and severe vomiting, as my food
would not digest properly. In later years
my nervous system seemed to give out en-
rely, and general paralytic-like numb
ness came over me- have tried numerous
kinds of sarsaparillas without obtaining
any benefit from them. They not only
proved valueless, but 1 believe actually
harmed me; my stomach could not retain
them, and grew steadily worse
About year ago, heard of the Red
Seal Sarsaparilla, that was said to be pre-
pared by an entirely new and thoroughly
scientific method, whereby certain poi
sonous principle, very harmful to the diges-
tive organs, and which is brought out in
some process was entirely eliminated
l found great relief in the first few doses
of the Red Seal Sarsaparilla, and after
taking three bottles l found myself en-
tirely cured, and although 81 years of age,
feel stronger and younger today than
have for many years past.
1 believe the Red Seal Sarsaparilla to be
the best medicine Of its kind, and strong
ly recommend it to all who wish for
speedy cure. l will cheerfully give full
details of my case to all who wish for
further particulars.
Red Seal Sarsaparilla is for sale every
where. Ask your dealer for bottle. 1t
