(From The Providence, Il. l., Bttuetfn.)
There are but few diseases that puzzle
physicians more than rheumatism There
are great many theories as to its cause,
and great many theories as to the best
means of curing it, most of which are absurd

John G. jerks, of Riverside, X. l. He
became the victim of rheumatism while
IN the army, and the disease seems to
have given him a taste of all its various
tortures. Phy5iciansand medicines failed to
give him any relief, until at last he effected
his own deliverance from the bonds of pain.

CANA CULLINGS.
Mails Hindered by High Water ant
Ice-Farming Operations.

Correspondence of the Sentinel
CANA, Jan. 2S-There have been
six or eight days since Christmas on
which we have had no mail, it having
been hindered by high water and ice.
In our anxiety to get the proceedings
of the Sanhedrim of North Carolina
this causes considerable disappoint-
ment. There is an abundance of
mud, and, as our solons are in the
abolition" business we need not be
surprised to hear of a bill to abolish
mud.
Farming operations are on a
standstill. Nothing whatever is
being done. The condition of wheat
and oats is very bad. However, it is
too early to tell what these crops
will do.
Operations at the hard wood fac
tory have been closed since the holi-
days on account of the weather.

INCOME-TAx DECISION.

The fellows with the big incomes
have kicked and squirmed and made
many ugly faces, but it appears that
after all they must take their medi-
cine. The petition of John G. Moore,
of New York, for an injunction to
restrain the Internal Revenue Com
missioner from proceeding with the
collection of the income tax has been
dismissed by Judge Hagner, of the
Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia. Every point made by the
petitioner against the constitution
atty of the law was oyerruled.
The income tax is one of the most
Just taxes ever conceived and wealth
is making itself ridiculous by it's
violent opposition.
In other forms of taxation a reve.
nue. is demanded from all possessions,
with only a small exemption. Tax
is placed upon the humble cottage,
as well as upon the pretentious pal
ace. Tax is required from the
artisan upon his tools, from the
farmer upon his implements, from
the merchant upon his stock, from
the physician upon his instruments
and from the lawyer and the minister
upon their libraries. All classes are
included-the poor man dependent
upon his daily labor for his bread, as
well as the rich man that lives in
luxury upon the interest of his
money. But the income tax falls
only upon those able to pay it.
1t is not tax upon that which is
essential to ones livelihood, as all
incomes less than four thousand
dollars are exempted, but is a tax
upon surplus upon the clear profits,
as it were, after all necessary ex-
penses of living, and living in good
shape, have been provided for.
The fellows that have been creating
all this stir against the income tax
had as well make up their minds that
they must bear portion of the
burdens of maintaining the govern
ment. The tax is here and however
it may be to the kickers
it il likely to abide among them for
quits . whiIe.

The constant raid upon the treas
ury and the repeated issue of bonds
has tendency to shake popular
confidence in the credit of the gov
eminent and to cause Withdrawals of
gold that are not at all essential to
the purposes of trade. Consequently,
the gold is drawn out of the treasury
and boarded, producing a contrac-
ton of the currency and leaving an
insufficient amount of money in cir
culation. Something should be done
to relieve this embarrassing and
hurtful situation.

The constitution will thwart the

gain control of State institutions.
In this connection, LieuteDant-Gov-

section 10, article 3, of the Constitu-
ton: "The Governor shall nominate
and, by and with the ADVICE and con-
sent of a majority of the Senators
elect appoint all officers whose ohces
are established by this Co1SHtution
and whose appointments are not
otherwise provided for" Exception
is made as to the election of trustees
of the University. If the Legislature
fails to confirm the Governors ap-
pointments, he can continue to ap-
point and after the Legislature ad
iourns his appointees remain in Office
until the next session.

THE Republicans in Congress will
hardly be able to shirk their share of
responsibility for failure to enact
currency legislation. AS the Phila-

nothing. This is time when
patriotism should rise above par
tisanship.

The fight against the University,
which has been waged with an energy
worthy a good cause, has eliminated
in the introduction of a bill in the
Legislature to cut down the appro-
priation $5, 900 after next June and
5000 a year later, leaving $4,000
as the annual appropriation. The
energies of our people should be used
towards building up and extending
our educational facilities, instead of
towards Gripping what we have.

saying that if the present conditions were
satisfactory the present system should be
continued-this OF course in sarcasm. AS
to Mr.. RosenthaPs idea of the necessity OF
poverty Mr.. Mcguire thought the I'M
pleasant and dangerous work would still
be done under the single tax, but those
who would do it mi ght be paid much better
compensation and enjoy vastly improved
conditions.
The single-taxers, he explained, would
not destroy craftsmanship of the right
to use land, but they proposed to make it
impossible for spectators to hold land
idle, and they hoped to give all men an
opportunity to have access to Goods store
house" People would pay less taxes I'M
der his method, as the market value of
land would be much reduced (seeing that
its speculative value would be done away
with), and the system of revenue-getting
would not involve the present expensive
processes of assessment and collection, and
the costly Federal machinery. What the
single tax would do, he asserted, would be
to give back to society what it had created;
it would not njure any man in his natural
right, but it would make free to every one
the natural opportunities of providing a
good living.

WHAT CAMPBELL SAID.
The Police Court Judge Yesterday Gave
Warning to Milk Inspector
Dockery

Two milk-dealers appeared before Judge
Campbell Yesterday to answer the charge
of offering for sale adulterated milk. E..
Lombard pleaded guilty and was sem
fenced to pay the usual fine of $40.
Joseph Fassler pleaded that he was only
a driver and not the owner of the milk,
and should not therefore be held response
bic. The Judge, after hearing the evil
dence, dismissed the charge Oh the ground
that Inspector Dockery had failed to prove
ownership or that Fassler had offered the
milk for sale.
1t came out in evidence that the in
spector had on testing the milk in one of
the cans in Fassler's wagon and found it
adulterated had emptied the milk out of
all the cans.
81 would like to say, Mr.. Dockery," said
the Judge, "that / don't think you have
the right to empty all the cans in wagon
because you find the milk in one can to be
adulterated. II you test every can and
find the milk adulterated then you would
be within your rights to empty them all,
but not otherwise. That is my opinion,
and | would advise you to act within your
rights in future"
Inspector Dockery made brief and I'M
announced visit to the downtown restau-
rants late yesterday evening. He secured

RESORT TO HEROIC MEASURES,

IN Roofing Our THE NEGRO
MARAUDERS.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 2s.-Burgars have
become unu sually active in this CITY of
late. Two more raids were made last
night and one on Saturday night. Gun
stores seem to be the objective points of
the misereants. Two weeks ago two gun
stores in this city were robbed, and five
boys are in jail charged with being impli-
Gated in the crimes. Yesterday morning,
between the hours of 8 and6 o'clock, A. u.
Warnekro's gunstore. on Mariposa street,
was robbed of pistols and cutlery to the
value of 500.
AS in the burglaries of two weeks ago
the glass of the show window was broken
In and the plumber extracted. The glass
had first been cut with diamond. Last
evening 0. Pickford's residence, at the cor
ner of MERGED and K streets, was entered
while the family was attending church.
A trunk was broken open with a stove
poker, the contents taken out and after
being searched were thrown about the floor
The thieves found only pistol which
they cared to take. A purse containing a
few dollars was overlooked. On Saturday
night Imperative & Goems' barber-shop
on Mariposa street was entered and $25
worth of razors and tools stolen. The
lock on the front door was a common one
and the burglars easily opened it.
The police have no clew to the burglars.
From midnight until morning there are
but three regular policemen and two night
watchmen to guard the entire city. Any
one bent on committing burglary can
easily watch these patrolmen, and while
they are at distant parts of their long
beats the burglars can easily pursue their
vocation.
In view Of frequent burglaries of late,
the City Marshal to-day engaged T. G..
Jones, who owns two bloodhounds. Mr..
Jones is to be appointed an officer, and be
on duty with his bloodhounds from mid
night until morning. Whenever burg
larry is reported at police headquarters
Jones is to go to the scene with his blood
hounds and place the dogs upon the trail.
He will probably be mounted, and the rob-
bers, it is thought, can easily be run down.

BY HANGING.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 28.-William Ire
land, who has had charge of ranch be-
longing to D. w. Campbell, IN the Calaveras
Valley, is wanted by the police on charge
of embezzlement.
a few weeks ago Campbell and his family
moved into town and left Ireland in charge
of the place. Ireland was regarded as a
trusted employee, and was given charge OF
a number of horses to sell. Campbell
learned on Saturday that Ireland had sold
team of horses for $40, and thrown in
about $50 worth of harness, at the City
Hall stables, on South Market street. As
Ireland had told his employer that he had
refused $50 for the team, this caused Camp
bell to become suspicious, and he went to
the ranch to see Ireland, but he had already
left.
1t is supposed Ireland has gone East.
Last evening a warrant was sworn to
charging him with embezzling $40.

THREE BIG ENGINES AMI TWENTY
FIVE CARS HAULING THE
MATERIAL.
A DINNER PAIL BRIGADE.
CONSTRUCTION TRAIN PASSENGERS
NUMBER SEVERAL SCORES OF
WORKMEN.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 2S.-Interest in
the San Joaquin Valley Railroad now cen-
tiers about the scene of operations along
the line outside the city limits. Work was
resumed there this morning with renewed
activity, and the forces were increased to q
number that indicates determination to
string the track along the grade as fast aa
possible.
The superintendent of construction is
not trying to break any records, but the
work bids fair to make highly satisfactory
progress. 1t is being done well as the
gangs of workmen move along. Every bit
OF timber, bolt and rail placed in the line
IS closely inspected, and where the slight
est defect is discovered it is thrown out.
There is no trouble experienced now in
bringing the materials from the construc-
ton yards on Mormon Channel to the base
of operations. The three big engines and
twenty-five cars already on hand can haul
the rails as fast as they are needed. The
work will not be stopped at any point
along the line for bridges and trestle-work,
as that has all been attended to, and the
crossings are in first-class shape. 1t has
been found that the grade is in excellent
condition, and will need little if any over
hauling. The ballast gangs will have COM
pleted their work in the city in time to
follow up the construction forces.
The scene presented by the construction
train as it returned to the city this evening
loaded down with dinner-pail brigade
was businesslike. Over sixty laborers who
reside in this city were aboard.
