No MATTER how much the President
may have deprecated the enactment of
the income tax, as he said he did il
his letter to Mr.. Wilson, in which he
also deprecated the passage of the tariff
bill, because it did not still further re-
duce the revenue, though time has
proved that it does not produce enough,
that tax will be collected all the same,
and it is well that it should be, az the
rich people of the country, to whom
tax is mere bagatelle, should certain
ly pay their share of the necessary ex-
penses of the government.

The TAX rate in New York is lower
than it has been for years, and the
State, according to the report of the
comptroller, just published, is out Of
debt. These two facts go a long way
toward disproving the republican charge
that the democrats Of New York were
plundering that State. If the republi
can comptroller's report next year be
as favorable, he will have good cause
to be thankful.

THE wEAvERs of the silk factory at
Hagerstown, Maryland, selected this
cold snap as the time to strike, and the
proprietor has, therefore, closed the
whole establishment, and says he is
glad to do so, as he has been running
it for some time on losing basis, and
has only kept it in operation for the
purpose of giving his workmen employ
ment during the winter. These strik-
ers certainly didn't profit by their va
cation" When a striker can bask in
the sunshine or go fishing, striking is
not personally disagreeable to him, but
in such weather as this, it must be any
thing else than comfortable.

it and struck it with hammer. The

Shot His Brother and Killed HIMSELF


Shot His Brother and Killed HIMSELF
John Philip, of Newark, and Alex
ander Philip, of Little Falls, N. j.,
made visit to the family homestead
at Avondale, N. j., on Sunday. AL
exander shot his brother John, ard
then, in the presence of his mother,
shot himself. John is still alive, but
Alexander died instantly. The cause
of the double shooting is shrouded in
mystery. The family unite in declar
ing that there was no quarrel between
the brothers, and that no angry words
passed between them prior to the shoot
ing.
The family is well-known in Newark
and Essex county. The old home
stead is one Of the most conspicuous
ancient houses on the River road.
Mrs. Philip occupies it with her eld-
est son, Richard. On Saturday night
her son son John, who is 3S years old,
with his wife and child went to the
house to spend Sunday. Sunday after
noon, about 8 o'clock, Alexander, who
was AZ years old, made his appearance.
He walked around the house to the
rear, as he had always done, and enter
ed through the kitchen door. He walk
ed through and saw his brother John
sitting in a chair facing the fire reading
a newspaper. Richard, the eldest
brother, was sitting few feet away
reading book. Without word, AL
exander put his hand to his hip pocket,
pulled out a revolver, and shot John
in the head. The latter ran upstairs,
crying:
bled profusely. His wife and mother,
who were upstairs, became alarmed.
The wife bolted the doors, but not
before the mother said "I'll go down
stairs and see what is the matter" She
found Alexander standing near the
door leading to the hallway. Mrs.
Philip was calm and severe.
She went up to her son, saying "What
is the matter?n He did not answer.
Mrs. Philip, who is nearly seventy
years old, described what took place in
the following manner:
81 took hold of him and spoke to
him, but he never answered. I wasn't
bit frightened. / saw that he had
something in his hand, and spoke to
him again. He stood stiff like a statue
and his eyes looked wild. Then !
thought l had better leave him. I
turned to go, and had put my foot on
the first step to go upstairs when I
heard the report of a pistol and fall to
the floor at the same moment.

floor just as you see him now, / have
seen a great many people die, but 1
never saw the life leave any one as
quick as that"

DERATE IN THE SENATE.

Stirring interest was given to the
Senate proceedings yesterday by the
speeches Of Senator German and Sen
ator Hill on various phrases of the
tariff and financial situation. AT times
the debate between the two Senators
took on an added interest from the
keen personal criticism and satire
directed at each other. The speech Of
Mr.. Hill was vigorous and equally
personal as that Of Mr.. German, and
was received with the same close at
tention from his associates and intense
interest in the galleries as had
b.en shown to the Maryland Senator.
Mr.. Hill defined his position, which was to
repeal the income tax. If it was to stand he
would offer no opposition 10 the appropra.
ton for carrying it into effect. Hill quo,e1
from the celebrated speech Of Mr. German on
the compromise tariff predicting democratic
victory, and contrasted with its utterance #
to-day that he knew the party was to be de-
featcd. Mr. Hill directed his remarks main
~ at Mr German, who sat only few feet
away Senator Allison also contributed to
the features of the day by short presenta.
ton of the ueed of immediate legislation en-
the tariff to raise revenue, instead of further
fruitlesi agitation of currency revision.
Senators Aldrich Hale and Quay. ON the
republican side, also took part in the debate.
