Parkins.
'Then serve breakfast; his lordship
won't be long" And Lady Evesham,
with the lit of valse to which she
had danced the previous night bubbling
from her lips, betook herself to the
sunlit, flower-decked snuggery where
she and her husband always had their
first meeting of the day.

of little trill. And how well Rupert

curious success in making women the

and white drawn face; yet she's been
all the rage. Last night he said he
meant to make me the new beauty" A
delicious little smile dimpled the cor
ners of her mouth. and flickered in the
depths of her gray eyes. ''Ah! what
nonsense I'm thinking. I'd better see
what the post has brought"
She turned briskly from the window
to the breakfast table; but the coquet-
tish smile still fingered in her eyes as
she ran through her mornings CORE

Why, that's the dreadful woman who

She tossed the note aside, and gave
a little yawn that just showed two
rows of very white teeth and the tip of
a scarlet tongue.

has got anything better?"
Her white fingers wandered among
the piles of letters by her husbands

MIDDLE OF THE INCOME TAX.
Everybody All at Sea Over the Demo-
cratic AIonstrosity.

cratic Monstrosity.
The action of the United States su-
preme court on the income tax ques-
zion promises to create no end of
muddle. Collectors and taxpayers
alike seem to be all at sea, not know
ing just what is to be done or is eX-
pected under the law as now inter
preted. The law certainly fails to
meet one of the principal objects of
its populistic trainers, for, in the words
of Chauncey NJ. Depew, it ''eXempts
the man who collects rent and taxes
the man who pays rent" In other
particulars it is paradox and fraud.
The objections to it are very forcibly
put by Hon. J. Edward Simmons,
president of the Fourth national bank
of New York and lifelong and prom
inent democrat. In an interview with
Mail and Express reporter he said:
1t is an outrageous tax, and one to which
have been bitterly opposed ever since 1t was
first mOoted am democrat, but have no
hesitation in saying that income taxation Is
violation Of every principle OF democratic the
DRY and tradition. 1t was principal issue in
the presidential canvass OF 1868 The demo-
cratic platform OF that year squarely demand
ed repeal of the income tax rs an odiouS and
inquisitorial scheme Of direct taxation Again
In 1872 the same demand was made in the dem
ocratic platform. And yet il there was ever
time when such direct taxation was justihable
it was then when the nation was staggering
under its war burdens.
samuel J. Tilden came into national prom
lnence largely through his contention that the
income tax was unconstitutional, and his per-
sonal suits to bring that contention to final
adjudication That the democratic party
should be made the Sponsor for such outra-
geOus class taxation in a time Of peace. when
there was no treasury demand for 1t, IS what
no democrat can understand. Personally, 1
never entertained 4 doubt that the tax was
unconstitutional, and that the august tribunal
which was to pass upon it would so declare
1t had not occurred TO me that the line OF
cleavage between the judges for and against
its constitutionality was according to political
bias. II seems incomprehensible to me that
any judge Of democratic antecedents should
have declared it constitutional
i have not had time to study out the COM
plic2tiOnS OF its assessment and collection
The exemption OF income from realty and gov
eminent bonds will mix matters terribly, no
doubt, but 1 have not yet seen just where IL
will land US. I do know, however. that IL IS
the costliest tax that ever was invented. and
its enactment is an outrage upon democratic
principle and -recedents."
This is the opinion of a successful
business man and of firm believer in
democratic principles. 1t shows how
utterly the democratic party has sacri

ing the income tax law.-Troy Times.

CHARGE COMBINE.
The Butchers of Kansas City Say the
Pack RS Are in One.

The Butchers of Kansas City Say the
Pack rs Are In One.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 12.-The
butchers here have for long time in
sisted that the local packers were mem
bers of a combine. An effort to have
them indicted upon the charge of vio-
lating the antitrust law was made
some time ago, but the butchers we're
not able to get enough evidence
to prove their claims. AS a reason
for the belief that such combine ex-
lists the butchers point to the fact
that there is practically no such thing
as business competition between the
local houses, as far as the home trade
is concerned. All the meat is graded
the same by each house and the prices
are exactly the same. If the prices of
meat are advanced all of the houses
advance at exactly the same hour. All
the business rules governing the local
trade are the same in every local pack
ing house. In fact, when at a meeting
of butchers one of them said: "While
we have not been able to have any in
dictments returned, every intelligent
butcher in Kansas City knows as well
that there is packing house combine
as he knows he is alive" every butcher
present echoed the sentiment.
SAYS THERE IS NO COMBINE.
CHICAGO, April IL. They will have

exclaimed Col. Favorite, of the Armour
company. yesterday, when asked in re-

Morton that an investigation would
be made into the cause Of high
meat prices. ''There is no combine.
Secretary Morton knows as well as
we do why it is, and as far as we are
concerned we hope that he will inves-
tigate the matter thoroughly. He is
now shipping grain to the destitute
farmers in Nebraska, and their condi-
ton is about the same as all the cattle
feeding districts of the central west.
The shipping has fallen off one-half
from there, and glance at the stock
yards statistics would show that near
ly 800, 900 head less have been received
since January 1 than was received last
year for these three months"

WANTS ITS INTERESTS.

New York state Sues the General Govern
ment for a Zig sum.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The United
States supreme court is engaged in
hearing arguments in the suit of the
state of New York VS.. the United
Safes for S131, 1877 interest on money
advanced by the state in equipping
troops sent to the war in 1861 The
original sum amounted to So, 900, 900,
a part of which, 81, 250, 900 was raised
as q public state loan, while the re-
'mainder was borrowed from the state
canal fund. The national government
refunded the principal, but refused to
recoup the state for the interest paid
by it on the borrowed money. The
claim was submitted to the court
of claims, which allowed the
part of it based on the interest
paid on the money raised on the
public bonds, amounting to SOL, 800,
but declined to allow the remainder,
S39, SGT paid on the canal fund. This
decision was alike unsatisfactory to
the state and to the federal govern
ment, and both appealed to the SUI
preme court. Senator Hill argued the
case for New York and Assistant-Gen
era1 Whitney for the United States.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IL. The steam

was there the German bark Triton ar
rived and reported that in longitude
131 west, latitude 10 south, she passed
a four-masted steel vessel on fire with
the masts hanging over the side. It
was impossible to ascertain the name
of the vessel. Shipping and insurance
men say that no vessel such as that de-
scribed by the Triton is due at this
port. They are inclined to believe that
the burning ship belonged to an Eng
1ish line of vessels plying between Eu-
rOpean and South American ports.

party of Indians, composed of one man.,
two women and a five year old boy,

When the storm was at its height a
furious gust of wind struck the giant
protector of their camp, tore it up by
the roots and hurled it to the ground.
The camp was struck fairly in the

dependency into which he has been
plunged by the tragic removal from his

William Richardson of the Wichita
schools will discuss "The ethical element
in patriotism"
Several Kansas educators have been
given places on the programme of the
various departments; among them Su-
perintendent Davidson of Topeka, who
has been assigned q subject in the ele-
mentary section.
The attendance of Kansas teachers
will undoubtedly be very large, as they
have not had an opportunity to attend

John Sanford of Covineton, KY, Killed by
State Senator GOebet.
CovINGToN KY, April 12.-An old
feud had long existed between State
Senator Goebet, neigh Dor and personal
friend of Secretary Carlisle, and John
Sanford, president of the Farmers and
Traders national bank. The two met
on the streets while returning from
lunch about L o'clock this afternoon,
when Sanford opened fire and Goebet
returned it, shooting twice, both bull
lets taking effect. He was carried into
the First national bank building and
medical aid at once summoned, while
Goebet at once gave himself up. San
ford died soon afterward. Goebet's
coat was pierced but he was not hurt.
The immediate cause of the shootin g
is said to have been the Goebet road
law. Sanford is president and owner of
several turnpikes. Senator Goebet Sc
cured the passage of bill reducing
the tolls. This was bad for the turn
pike stock and Sanford is reported to
have used severe terms in talking
about Senator Goebet and his law.
