James Thomas Attempts Suicide
But is Still in Evidence.

About o'clock yesterday morning
James Thomas, who for some time past
has been employed as waiter in a K
street restaurant, grew tired of life anc
attempted to shuttle off the coil BY
means of the chloroform route.
He was picked up in an unconscious
condition from the rear of saloon or
Sixth street, between ] and K, ano
taken to the Receiving Hospital, where
City Physician Nichols was summoned
He, in connection with Drs. Bainbridge
and Robinson, worked with the at
tempted suicide, who it was ascertaineC
had swallowed one and one-fourtf
ounces Of chloroform, until noon, and
were finally rewarded by bringing him
past danger mark.
Thomas is married man, though he
has no family and has been sick fol
some time, which Is supposed to be the
reason for his rash act.
Some time ago he was found in a
close room nearly asphyxiated by es-
Gaping gas, but when resuscitated
claimed to know nothing whatever OF

matter than any man we have had in
the House since 1882, and more than all
the Representatives we have had put
together in Congress, and he argues
that he be retained to complete his work.
Here, then, are nearly 81, 100000 that
can be turned into the lap Of California,
and will be If the author of the idea is
returned to Congress to finish his work
in that direction and which he cannot
probably do in the brief time remaining
Of his present term.
What godsend that $4,0OO.OOO will
be to this State. 1t can be used to strike
down taxation for four or five years to
the lowest figure we will ever know; it
can be used to promote great and needed
public works; it can be used to dis
charge, if desirable, the small balance
Of the State debt; it can be used to place
the State University on the level it
ought to occupy in the matter of build
ings and equipment; it can be used to
promote the plan Of the Bureau of High
ways to construct two longitudinal and
two latitudinal State main highways,
the length and breadth Of the State; it
can be used in part for any or all these
purposes, or in some other wise way to
put such a volume of money into circula-
tion in the State to the revival of in
dustry, the stimulation Of business and
the relief of producers.
We have faith in the ability Of Mr..
Johnson to finish his work. 1t was he
who originated the scheme; it was he
who has introduced the first measure of
legislation that points to successful ac-
complishment of the desired end; 1t was
he who secured the favorable ruling Of
the proper department, a stroke that is
full of rich meaning and high promise
to the State.
1t must be Mr.. Johnson and not a
new and untried man, who will have no
recognition for a long time in Congress,
vino is to carry out the plan outlined.
The people will surely not fail to realize
the Importance of returning Mr.. John
son Cor this purpose, as well as to main
tain IA Congress Republican majority
in favor Of protection to American in
dustry and production, and the further
restriction Of depressing foreign compe-
tition.

And still we have not been driven up
against horse racing. That stands
aside as distinctive feature, self
from the premium sums contributed by
the State in aid Of the fair, but adding
to the aggregate income.
Now, that racing is strong attraction
at the fair is conceded; that it brings
out many hundreds Of the best results

ance is we'll known; that it is as an
amusement desired by vast number
Of people is undeniable; that it is pro-
motive of good breeding in horseflesh
will be conceded. However, we are
neither defending nor assailing speed
contests nor the conditions under which
they are conducted. Nor does the
moral side Of the matter enter into this
consideration. We are considering
horse racing not the sole feature Of the
fair, but it is not to the thoughtful by
any means the best or chief feature.
There is a strictly legitimate and inde-
been outside Of, distinctive from and
Independent OF horse racing. 1t is
therefore bad form and unjustifiable to
speak Of the States annual exposi
ton as "the State horse race since it
Is fact that no money appropriated by
the State in aid of the Agricultural So
c;ety is or can be under the law used for
premiums in speed contests.
It is due to the cause of justice, to a
fair which is the peoples and depen-
dent upon their good pleasure for its
existence, that SO much should be said
to disabuse the public mind Of COM
mon error which is unhappily dill
gently cultivated by those who are ILL

Gladness Comes

N, :th better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasantef efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. IT
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
useo and yes most general satisfaction.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The treasury de-
nclt Tor the fiscal year ending June 80. 1896.
Will be approximately $25, ,000, ,000 This is the
oplnlon OF officials and others best qualified
to make an intelligent estimate of the result
OF the fiscal operations of the year. In his
annual estimates sent to congress at the be-
ginning OF the present session, the secretary
or the treasury estimated the receipts from
customs during the fiscal year at S172 900. O0O
So far, with nearly ten months of the wear
gone, the customs receipts have reached about
$l37 OO0,O 600, with fair prospect of increasing
TO $3.50 600 by the close of the year The
estimate Of the receipts from internal revenus
sources was s15S, 100000. Up to this time thew
have reached $120 900, ,000 and it is expected the
figures for the completed year will be about
$146, ,000, 900.
The receipts from miscellaneous sources ara
expected to slightly exceed the estimates of
$lo,OOo,OO0, making the total receipts for the
year ABOUT $o27, 100000. The secretary's esti-
mate oI,tne years expenditure was 1862 600 600
which, according to his figures would leave q
uenclency OF $17,O00,0 900. The actual expendI-
lures, however, 1t is now thought will aegre
gate about 1852 ,00O or 100000 900 less than
MT. Carlisles estimate in December last so
that the deficit at the close of the year II Ia
peheVed, Will not show any very material
cnange from Saturdays figures, S25 1862 42s.
Inc secretarys estimates at the time thew were
mace were believed by those of long experience
IN the department to be extremely conserya-
tive The receipts from both customs and
internal revenue sources, however, have been
surprisingly low, and there does not seem tn
De any immediate prospect of material inn

TAXATION IN ILLINOIS.

The question Of taxation will be al
ways with us until McKinley's Illusion
becomes reality, and some effective
means is found to compel the odious
foreigner to pay the tax. Being with
us, it will not down until some system
is devised that will carry with 1t the
belief Of every taxpayer that no more
than his just share is exacted from
him and that none are being shell
tered or permitted to evade their bur-
den-bearing. That time will not come
until the present momentum of all tax
legislation, national, state and muni-
cipal, to complexity, intricacy, ex-
haustiveness, is stopped, and the fact
is realized in revenue laws that the
fewer the subjects on which revenue is
raised the surer, juster and easier the
result.
That the question of taxation is one
in which many are taking an interest
in direction other than that of eva
sion is shown by the reception given
the annual report Of the labor. bureau
of Illinois for 1894. the edition Of which
was exhausted, with so many unsatis-
fed requests that another edition of
10000 copies has been printed. We re-
ferred some time ago to result of
this report in the appointment by May
or Swift of a commission of experts
to value the real estate and improve
ments in the city of Chicago; and to
the remarkable confirmation, in the
preliminary report Of the commission.
Of the surprising figures Of underval-
uations and evasions given in the re-
port of the labor bureau. While this
was startling enough as regards real
estate and it's improvements. it was
dwarfed by the showing Of personal
property that evaded the assessor, If
honest, or was allowed to escape him
If dishonest. Criticism of this feature
of the first report induces the bureau
in its supplemental report to establish
its assertions by indisputable facts
from the records.
It is not only in Chicago, but all
over the state, that personal property
of the Intangible or easily concealed
kind has been evading taxation This
1t makes plain by giving the assessed
value of such property In the state,
in the city, and in the state except
Cook county. in 1873 and 1893 In 1873
the assessed personal property of the
whole state was s2S7, ,292, ,S09; in 1893 1t
was s145, ,413, a decrease of SAL
974,406, or 1912 per cent, in twenty
years. In Cook county the oassessed
value in the former year was ,$55, 1885,
$40, and sS9, ,S79,Ss7 in the latter.

The Toledo Blade, one Of the most
rampageous Of the Mckinley organs,
says of the extensions made by the
president of the civil service, that he
''and his associates are bestirring them
selves to pull into the civil service
ranks, while opportunity remains, what
few offices are still left out in the
cold" Presumably the Blade means
that no opportunity 'toeremove offices
from the spoils wil1ebe embraced if Nc
Kinley is elected. and dthat, had Mr.
Cleveland not been elected, the
opportunity" would snot have been i'm.
proved. In another issue of the same
paper we gather confirmation of this
view. A committee of qthe Ohio legis-
Iature Is investigating charges Of COR
ruption among the sabosdinates of the
secretary Of states office while Mr.
Mckinley was governor, and it has,
as the Blade says, uncovered large
amount Of crookedness.i These subor-
dinates were merely "bestirring'' them
selves while the opportunity re-
NAMED" to show how true was, their
conception of politiesJJ' and how accu-
rate was their knowledge of what they
were there for. It would be better for
Ohio had Mr.. Mckinley and his asso-
ciates 'bestirred" Themselves to pull
into the civil service ranks the sub
ordinates in the state department.

President Graham, of the tin plate
manufacturers association, and his as
sociates are, since their cavalier re-
ception by the combine Of steel billet
eers, In frame Of mind to appreciate
a story told by prominent Democrat
in the southern part of this state, who
returned recently from a visit to Glens
Falls, New York, where some Of his
relatives are connected with the great
paper mills located there. While there
an English publisher who had been
buying his paper for some time of the
Glens Falls mill. being in this country,
came UP to visit the people who had
been supplying him with paper cheap
er than he could get it, at home or on
the continent, and to inspect their mills
and methods Of manufacture. He was
taken over the mill, and the various
processes explained, and the machinery
that enabled paper, to be made so
cheaply was shownshim. After he had
gone our Minnesota Democrat asked
his relatives why, if they were able to
make paper and sell 1t to the English
man at a lower price than he could get
it elsewhere, they wanted a protective
tariff against imports Of paper. Very
frank and blunt was the reply. ''Be-
cause we're hogs" was the answer.
Not quite as frank was the reply Of
the billeteers to the tin plate men when
they went down to beseech them to be
merciful in raising the price
Of their raw material, but. It meant
just the same. Instead Of assuring
them, as Mr.. Graham says they did,
that "you' have our sympathy; we are
very sorry for you, but our interests
are so much greater than yours that
we cannot endanger the consummation
Of our plans, as we must If we give
any consideration to tin plate bars"
they might have said with more frank
ness: 1--WE will not give your request
any consideration because we're hogs"
