MAD RIOT.-The Indiana Lagisla-
ture, in which Republicans largely
predominant, broke up Monday
night, the l1th, in IA wild riot in
which nearly all the members par
ticipated. For nearly half an hour
the State House presented a wild
scene Of disorder, the like of which
had never been seen before. Doors
were broken open, seats torn from
their places, men kicked and knocked
about, pistols drawn, and Democrats
and Republicans, policemen and at
tachees were all blended i'm scene
of utter riot and confusion. 1t all
grow out Of an attempt Of the Gov
ernor's private secretary to present
to the Speaker veto message which
the Republicans seemed determined
not to allow to he presented before
the Legislature adjourned at mid
hight. Just AS the secretary reached
the Speaker and was about to hand
him the message, the latter, still
busy kicking and beating back the
crowd, pronounced the House adj
journed. The bill vetoed, and out
which the trouble grew, displaced a
Democrat with a Republican.

THE GROWTH OF New York.
The New York WOrid says: 1.-THE
census of New York about to be
taken will reveal extraordinary
growth. All the great cities Of the
world are growing greater. Lon
don, within radius Of fifteen miles
from Charing, Cross, increased from
4,776,0OO to $685. 900 within ten
years, and within the last thirty
years Berlin has first trebled and
then doubled its population.
Other cities in both Europe and
America are increasing in the same
way, but nowhere is there more
remarkable growth than that of the
real New York. New York on Man
haitian Island is growing also, but
the actual growth of the city can
only be measured by the increase in
population of the territory within
the same fifteen-mile radius by
which the growth of London is
gagged. According to the State
census of 1892, the population of
greater New York was 3,0O0,0O0 on
an area of only 3l7.77 square miles,
while London within the fifteen mile
radius includes 66S.3l square miles.
Rapid as has been the increase
within the limits Of greater New
York, it does not show the true
growth of the city. Three New
Jersey counties, with a population
of 637 ,270, as well as considerable
portions of Connecticut and of
Rhode Island, are in the strictest
sense suburbs Of New York, and the
surplus population from the city is
constantly overlooking into them
The growth of Manhattan Island
was 800, 200 in ten years, according
to the lowest estimates. The growth
of the real New York has been at
least three times that"

Hughes on Daniel.

Judge Robt. w. Hughes, of the
. L. :. Court for the Eastern district
of Virginia, has recently written a
very interesting letter to the Norfolk
Plot, in which he speaks in the
highest terms of Senator Daniel as
an authority ON the silver question.
He says Of the Senator that he il
not sciolist on any subject, and is
as deeply read in finance as i'm law,
his speeches in the Senate on the
subject of metallic money being
quoted everywhere, especially by
teXtwriters. He says he prefers
Major Daniel for Senator above all
the men in Nirginia-DemocrN or
Republicans. Judge Hughes is a
Republican, but very enthusiastic
advocate of the white metal, and
has himself written extensively on
the subject. His opinion of Major
Daniel, as an authority on the money
issue is particularly interesting lust
now, seeing that the Senator will be
Il member of the proposed interna.
/ tional monetary commission.
Referring to the interest England
has in the maintenance Of the gold
standard, the Judge quotes from q
London banker the following senti

THE INCOME TAX. The Indian
apolis Sentinel says: 1.-The opening
statement in the argument before
the national Supreme Court against
the constitutionality of the income
tax shows that the fight is to be made
on the line of inequality and want
of uniformity in the levying Of the
tax. 1t may be conceded in a gen.
eral way that the tax is both une-
quail and discriminating, but the
question to be determined is whether
il is SO in legal sense. Unques-
tionably tax on incomes over
$1,000, where there is no tax on
smaller incomes, is DISCRIMINATION
but so also is tariff of 80 per cent.
on goods Of certain value and of %
per cent. on goods of less value"
