 The Income Tax. What is the size of your income? Give
 us the figures, pray; And don't you be modest about it, for
 shyness won't do to-day4,,. All you who've been ostentatfoas, and
 living beyond your means, Go down to the tax-assessor and invite
 him behind, the scenes. <. Where is your cash invested? Open your
 coffers wide, -- The bogie-man of the treasury; is standing
 at your side.
 He's noted your yacht and your horses ;
 he's noticed the way you sup. And he's going to be mighty careful Aaw
 you .foot.your columns up.H He's been on the ''roof'' at the opera, and has envied you down in your box, And he's always wanted a chance like this
 to whack at the man with stocks. He's stood by the cafe window and watch
 ed you lunehing within. And he has pretty good notion of the
 size of your pile of tin. He's thought you were going it lively,
 were travelling much on your shape, But now he is going to prove 1t, backed
 up by square miles of red tape; And you who've been ostentatious must
 tell the whole truth to day. You've got to admit you're fraud, sir, " or you've got to step up and pay. So tell us the size of your income; ac.
 count for each little red cent. This terrible cad, the collector, knows
 pretty well what you have spent; And if you think to escape him by making
 it small you will fail, And end, if you try to deceive him, in z
 small private box at the jail.

Hartford Courant: All honor to Gov ernor Brown and Judge Cooper of Ken lucky for their efforts to bring the Mount Sterling lynchers to justice! Success, to them in the undertaking! The escape scot-free of the bloodthirsty wretches who on New Years night took Thomas Blair out of the county jail and murdered him would be public calamity. In his charge to tRe local grand jury Judge Cooper de- seribed that deed as ''the bIaekest crime ever committed by mob since the war" Governor Brown has said that he stands ready to order every soldier in Kentucky to Mount Sterling. Talk like that has the right ring.

Part of the edition of the Bristol Press, weekly, was seized at Bristol Friday by Postmaster Montgomery for alleged vio- lation of the anti-lottery law. The paper contained an,item relating to the distribu- tion of prizes at g. arecent fair. The mail edition of the Bristol Herald was seized Thursday for the same reason. The law in such cases is very clear, and no news paper ought to be able to plead ignorance of matter which has been so widely published.

The story of suffering that comes from Nebraska is keen reminder that, even in country like ours with 8 surplus of products always, famine may still prevail in certain sections. The days when old nations suffer from lack of supply of food products are over. The difficulty now is that the price of food products is so low that even the wheat producers have nothing to fail back upon if crop proves failure.

HAWAII has had the expected revolution in behalf of the dethroned Lilli-etc., and the established government has suppress ed it with some loss of life.

One has since been ordered to proceed to Honolulu.

"The Governor looked at the steamboat
man and seemed strangely affected. He

no signed the document that restored him
10 liberty, but before he handed II 10 him
no said: You will commit some other
crime and DO In the pcnitentlary again, !
