SENATOR JONEs's VIEWS.
Senator Jones, chairman of the Gel

Senator Jones, chairman of the dem.
ocratic committee, is in Washington.
II have no idea," said Senator Jones,
answering question in regard to the
probable legislation of the approaching
session of Congress, "that everything
will be done aside from passing the
usual appropriation bills. 1t will be a
short session and it will afford no time
in which to consider other matters"
Senator Jones opposes the Dingley
bill as a means of increasing revenues
because it taxes wool and horizontally
increases the schedules of the Wilson
law about Is per cent.
"For myself" said the Senator, II
should support a bill to increase the
tax on beer by 81 barrel.
II do not think that tobacco should
be taxed to any greater amount than is
now levied; it is the one thing that the
poor man almost universally uses, and
he should be spared an additional i'm
post. The same thing is true of coffee,
and in less degree of tea, and for that
reason I do not favor taxes on them.
The beer tax should be an independent
proposition-it will add 0,000, 900 to
the revenues, and if it be put in bill
by itself, the money would come in at
once.
GAS to the income tax have not ex.-
amined the decision Of the Supreme
Court with view to determining
whether or not q measure could be
passed which would produce revenue
from that source without waiting for
an amendment to the constitution.
"a per capita tax might be levied"
| said Senator Jones, "but 1 am opposed
to taxing poverty. 7 think the
property and wealth OF the coun-
try should bear the cost of the
government. Of course the poor man
receives gust as much and the same
benefits from our institutions as the
rich man, but they should be given to
| him gust as public schools are given to
him."
81 have been assured since the eiec-
ton by republicans, some OF wide repu.
tation, that thousands of them voted
for Major Mckinley because they be-
lieyed him to be bimetallist, and that
as much would be done for silver I'm
Ger his administration as could be &C.
complisned we're Bryan elected.
The battle for free silver he said,
will be carried on until that metal ls
restored to the place it held before it L,
was deuuoneti-ed by the act of 1878"
The leaders of the silver movement
contemplate gathering il the lea:
future, when discussion will be had
as to a continuation of the 6ght.

stand in so fragrant case as that OF
the Armenians, without being suspect
ed by other European countries of dark
political designs" 1t is more depress'
ing to realize that there are many PEG
ple in this country so ill.informed,
preiudiced and gullible, as to be de-
ceived by that g. o blathersklte' Mr.
Gladstone, into the belief that the
Turks are solely to blame for the Arme'
nisn troubles. The truth is that the
Armenians have brought all their
troubles upon themselves, and have
done SO deliberately and without req
sonable cause.

A NOVEL PRocLAMATIoN.-The Thanks
giving proclamation issued by Governor
James P. Clarke, of Arkansas yesterday was
as follows
The people OF Arkansas are infinitely in.
debted to their Maker for the blessings OF
general good health and for measure OF
social and material prosperity that it has not
been within the power of man to entirely de.
stroy by unwise policies and laws.
"We have been provided for in abundance
from Gods storenouses, and our only cause
for murmur or complaint is to be found in
such things as the misguided action of our
fellow citizens in other sections has imposed
upon U.s. With US every prospect pleases,
and only man is vile.
Let us therefore, on the day named re-
turn profound and unstinted thanks TO the
Creator for the bounty it has pleased Him to
bestow upon US as state, and to praise and
bless Him for the privileges yet preserved to
us of still persisting in our task of making
those now cropping in the darkness OF selfish
ness and error know the right, and, knowing
dare TO maintain it"

TIE NEM YORK Sun SAYS:

1.-The d.screditable distinction Of con-
tributing about three-quarters of the
Bryan electoral votes and thus making
impressive the reputation demonstra'
ton, otherwise insignificant, belongs
alone to the eleven Southern States in
cluded in the secession Confederacy
with Missouri added"
There was no "repudiation demonatra.
tion" about the matter, and so far from
being "discreditable, "the vote OF the
States that formed "the storm Graded
nation that fell'' did great credit to
them,as it showed that they are not only
democratic, but believes as Mr. Cleveland
did four years ago that the only way by
which to preserve the democratic
party is to abide by the arbitrament OF
.ts national convention.

IN ONE of his many speeches MIR. De-
pew recently said in the course of his
remarks, that now, "more than at any
time during the present generation, it is
important to teach the principles upon
which our government was founded,
and the policies which have made it
great" If his advice be adopted. those
who may be taught, will learn that the
principles upon WITCH the government
was founded are not those upoc which
it now rests, and that the policies which
have made it great are not those which
it now pursues. Indeed, could those
who framed the Constitution and estab-
lished the policies of the government
could come back to life they wouldn't
recognize their own work, so patent
and so radical have been the changes
therein,
