APPROPRIATION or no appropriation for
its collection, the income tax law went
INFO effect on New Years day. The tax
will add largely to the revenues of the
country and will not be burdensOme to
those who pay it. Much sympathy is
expressed in some quarters for the poor
unfortunates who possess incomes of
over 1000 per year, for being obliged
to bear the burden of the tax alone, but
as in nine cases out of ten, the victims
have gotten themselves into their pres
ent predicament as a result of special IA
yors shown by the government, it Is
hard to make common tpeople under
stand why the benefciaries should not
have special requirements made of them.

Robbers Holly Received.

Chicago, Dec. 3O--A gang of four
robbers started out to raid the saloons on
the Northside. The net result is one
bartender fatally wounded and one dead
robber
Early in the evening the gang entered
the saloon of w. j. Melin. Nelse Breck,
the bartender, was alone. He showed
fight and was shot through the body.
Later, the gang entered the saloon of
Austin McCrail and ordered him to
throw up his hands. He replied, "Oh l
guess not; you are going to have a drink
with me" The gang apparently ac-
quiescised, and McGrail seizing his re-
voiver shot one of them through the
heart and bombarded the others as they
flew through the doorway. The police
are now trying to round the men up.

Fire in Sing SiDg Prison.

Sing Sing, \. Y, Dec. 3O.-At 1:SO
O'Clock this morning fire was discovered
IN the store mouse and laundry of Sing
Sing prison. Although the firemen re-
sPonded promptly the flames had gained
considerable headway and it was not un-
til O'Clock that the fire was extin-
guished. The loss is estimated at $50.
600, and is not covered by insurance.
All the convicts were aroused bv the
noise and hustle incident to the outbreak
of the flames but, although a number of
the prisoners could plainly see the blaze
and some excitement was occasioned by
a fire thus occurring in the middle of the
night, all behaved well and no disorder
prevailed.

WHILE the cold wave has been attend
ed with deplOrable consequences in vari-
GUS sections OF the country, the fact is to
be noted that its effects have not been
altogether untoward. The accompany
ing snow falls have made work for
thousands of men in the logging dis
tricts, while the increased consumption
of coal will provide work for miners in
this and in other states. Aside from
these considerations is the fact that brac-
ing weather always exerts a tonic infu-
ence on general busineSS-as it should
likewise do on the sympathies of all who
out of their abundance can spare little
something for the shiyering poor at this
inclement season.

Explosion OF Gas.

ElwOOd, Ind, Dec. 3O.-A fearful
natural gas and sewer gas explosion oc-
CURED here this morning shortly after
midnight in which six men came near
losing their lives, all being terribly in
jured, two having broken legs. The
building occupied 10y Milo Sees barber
shop was utterly demolished and the
furniture and fixtures blown into frag-
ments.
The cause ot the explosion was due to
bad leak in the gas maines which
found an outlet in the sewer that com
municated with the bathrooms to the
shops. From there it accumulated une
der the floor and around the walls of the
shop behind the plastering and soon be
gan to fill the room. All evening the
smell of sewer gas and other gas had
been noticed and finally it got so strong
the doors were opened to purify the
room.
The fire in the stove in the shop was
burning brightly and when the air be
came saturated with the gas the ex-
plOsiOn occurred. The loss Is estimated
at -, 600 with no insurance.

LIQUOR must not be furnished on
Sundays in private clubs maintaining a
bar or sideboard, according to Judge
McClung, of Allegheny. If a man has
his private bottle stored away in the cup
board, or some other convenient place,
he may invite a friend to take a nip" !"
But no liquor must be ordered on Sun
day to be paid for in a club any more
than In saloon. That practice is sup
posed to prevail very generally, and
there would not be SO many clubs if it
did not. They are held to be great ir-
rigative convenience when the town goes
dry under the Brooks law on Sunday
But as clubs are conducted on confiden-
t ial principles, tangible proof of the vio-
lation of the law is difficult to obtain.

ABOUT every soft coal section in the
state, says the Philadelphia Times. Is
having its tnrn at wage reduction, the
latest being TiOga county, where the
miners have decided to strike This Is
unfortunate, and especially so in view Of
the fact that these were the miners
warned before election day against the
terrible effects of supporting tariff re
form and ignoring protection. The
miners listened to the political voice in
the wilderness and voted nearly solid to
retain the government tariff bounty of
seventy five cents ton to the operators,
and now see their mistake. While the
operator gets about everything they have
been pared down to something below
living wages, and how much worse a
strike will make their condition, the fu-
ture alone can tell. But they have this
consolation-they saved the tariff

Quilted by Fire.

Albany. y Y, Dec 80 The Dele
van house proper was gutted by fire to-
night There were 100 guests In the
house. All escaped, although two wo-
men and two men who jumped from the
third story windows into the street were
badly hurt.
The speakership fight WAS on In Its
intensity to night when the cry OF ire
rang through the corridors of the Dele
van house at S:44 clock. the head
quart rs of the candidates were on the
first floor over the Hobbies, otherwise the
large crowds which filled the corridors
and rooms would not have so luckily
escaped.
The fire started in the basement on
the Broadway side, directly under the
elevator shaft, and before the affrlghted
guests and politicians had emerged upon
the streets the flames had broken through
the Ioof- The elevator shaft was ad-
iacent to the Broadway stairway and
flames cut off the egresS OF the guests IN
the northern end of the hotel, in which
nearly two thirds of the guests were
located. Those who were not able to- get
past the elevator shaft so as to pass down
the main way on Steuben street were
without hope of escape for some mlnu
tc~, until their way WAS directed to the
servants stairway in the north section
of the structure.
There were many thrilling escapes,
and it Is surprising that the casualties
are so few when the sweep with which
the fire spread throughout the guest
floors of the main building is consId-
cred.
The Delevan house Is owned 10y the
Delevan and Ransom estate and was
valued at about $3.50, 900, including fur

Fifty People Drowned.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 29.-The
steamer Iumuri, which arrived here to-
day from Santa Maria, Colombia, hav-
ing left there December -, reports
heavy storm off the Columbian coast,
resulting in great loss Of life and prop
erty. The village of Iaira, five miles
from Santa Maria, was completely de
stroyed, the floods washing away every
house and drowning fifty people. In
the town of Santa Maria itself between
forty and fifty houses were destroyed by
the storm. The railroad from that town
to Rio Frio was badly damaged, and all
travel on it suspended, the bridges and
track being washed away, so that it will
be at least SIX months before the line
will be in running order again.

The Committee on Agriculture gave
hearing the other day to a long winded
California Granger who advocates 10
per cent. duty on the exports of farm
produce. The. prices of the agricultural
commodities of export being fixed by the
prices at which other producers are will
ing to sell in foreign markets, any ex-
port duty levied would come out of the
pockets of the farmers. But why should
the committee on agriculture waste its
time, and the public money, in listening
to the advocacy of a proposition which
Is fOrbidded by the constitution? One
of the things congress cannot do is to
levy tax or duty on articles exported
from any state.

THERE is much talk about three men
as candidates for the Republican nomi>
nation for 1.-THE Presidency next year
Ex President Harrison, Governor Nc
kinley and Thomas Bracket Reed are
kept by their friends well at the front.
There is danger in too much promi-
nence. The probabilities are that the
favorites will kill each others chances in
the convention, and that the nomination
will go to a compromise candidate. OF
ali the men in the back ground Robert
Todd Lincoln would seem to be the most
available. He has behind him the great
name of his father; and this counts for
much. 1t must also be said of him
that he has borne himself with great
credit and capability in the responsible
Bile public positions which he has filed.

DURING the year 1894 there has been a
general shrinkage in the value of agri-
cultural products of fully % per cent.
Cotton has fallen nearly 80 per cent, and
wheat about y. Corn and rice, owing
to short crops, have shown an increase,
that of corn amounting to 10 per cent.
and rice a cent pound. 1t is no
wonder business of all kinds has been
depressed, with the purchasing power of
the agricultural population reduced by
one quarter from the preceding year.
