popular Irishman. Of whom many good
stories are told. He is rather near

Their changes in our tariff laws except
such as are necessary to make up the
deficit in revenue caused by the ad-
verse decision of the supreme court on
the income tax.
THE INCOME TAX.
There would have been no deficit in
federal revenu during the last two
years, but for the annulment by the SUI
preme court OF the income tax law,
placed upon the statute books by a
democratic congress. The obstruction
TO an income tax. which the supreme
court discovered in the constitution
after it had laid hidden for a hundred
years, must be removed. TO the end that
accumulated wealth may be made to
bear its just share of the burdens of the
government. We therefore favor an
amendment to the federal constitution
that will permit the levy of an income
tax.
I'VE hold hat the efficient way of
protecting American labor is to pre-
vent the importation of foreign pauper
labor to compete with 1t in the home
market, and that the value of the home
market to our American farmers and
artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious
monetary system which decreases the
prices of their products below the cost
Of production. and thus deprives them
Of the means Of satisfying their needs.
WASTE OF MONEY DENOUNCED.
I'VE %denounce the proaigate waste
of the money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation, and the lavish APP
preparations Of recent republican on
crosses. which have kept taxes high,
while the laborer who pays them is I'M
employed and products of the people
are depressed in price till they no long
err repay the cost Of production. We
demand a return to that simplicity and
economy which best BELTS a democratic
government. and a reduction in the
number of useless offices, the salaries
Of which drain the substance of the
people.
"Confiding in the justice of our cause
and the necessity of its success at the
polls, we submit the foregoing declara-
ton of principles and purposes to the
considerate judgment of the American
people. We invite the support of all
citizens who approve them and who
desire to have them made effective
through legislation for the relief of the
try's prOSDerity."

A REMARKABLE CALCULATION.
Yom Kippur, the Jewish Fast Day, never
Falls on Sunday.

YOm Kippur, the Jewish Fast Day, never
Falls on Sunday.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
religious history produces no
greater calculations than the day
Of Yom Kippur as observed by the
Jews all over the world. Nearly
six thousand years ago according
to biblical history, Moses and his
followers proclaimed to the Jews
of the world that y ON Kippur, or
the day Of fast had been set and
should be observed by all his pec-
pie. Now in selecting the day, it
was the intention of Moses to so
set this day, according to the
Jewish calendar that it should
never fall on Sunday, thereby
forcing the Jews to do their cook
ing and other house work on the
Sabbath day preparatory to the
sunset meal before entering upon
the day OF fast.
The calculations made at that
time were so exact that Jewish his
tory does not tell Of single in
stance where Yom Kippur has
fallen on Sunday.
This is the day that will be OBJ
served all over the world begin
ming Wednesday evening,the 10th,
Gregorian calendar, and continue
until the stars appear, or until the
sun gives no more light on the
night Of the 18th. The day will
be generally observed In our city
by our Jewish citizens.

The proposal is to establish permanent

Each Judge is to hold office during fife

court thus constituted is to make its own

that the President enter at once into cor
