COY. n.ACk's Governor Black has We
VETO. toed the bill to increase
The bin was intended to make wealth
bear its fair share OF the public hwdcns'
II imposed tax at the one point Nhtre
men can best afford to pay taxes-nafne-
iy. where they are receiving wealth which
they have not earned and for which they
have rendered no service.
The last man In the world who should
complain OF tax is tho man who reccNes
an estate in consideration Of It.
II is only by grace Of the State that
any man inheriis wealth. The right TO
transmit ones possessions at death, either
by viii or by legal inheritance, is not at
all natural or unalenablo risat, Int
purely privilege granted by the state.
The State has an indeieasble right 10 eX-
act in return what price II plcases 10 put
upou its favor In yhe shape of taxation.
Governor Black has issued memoran-
dunn OF his reasons for yetoing the bill. In
doing SO he has succeeded only in demon
straiine his total ignorance OF the prin-
ciples OF taxation and his utter misccn~
cebuon OF the matter with which he had

An OUTRAGEOUS one

TAN. defensible. we may
Justly say one of the most infamous pro-
visions of the worst tariff bill ever pro-
posed in this country, the Dinghy bill, is
that which will practically prohibit the
poor people of this country having cover
ings for their floors. The tax on wool will
run up the price Of carpets and the jewellers
in humble homes might get along reasona-
bly, well with mattings but for the follow
ing provision in the pending tariff bill:
Floor mattings manufactured from
straw. round OF split. or other veg statle
substances not otherwise provided fer. in
Guiding Chinese. japanese and Indian straw
mattings, valued at NOT exceeding 10 cents
per square yard. cents per square yard;
valued at exceeding 10 cents per square
yard, cents per yard and in aiiiton
thereto If manufactured with a warp CON-
posed of flax cotton or other vegetable
fibre % per cent ad valorem." Here we
have n duty which will amount to aboIt
100 per cent on the cheapest grades of mat
tinGs, such as the masses Of the people buy
when they buy any.
y duty of 100 per cent more than dou-
bes the price of any article that is not
manufactured in this country to a suffi-
cient extent to be factor in trade,
Hundreds of thousands of families WHO
niN ~" ablt 10 htNtI ti-tlF lipDTS win
pretty, clean and healthful mattings viii
he deprived of that comfort when the Ping
ley tariff goes into effect Carpets have
always been out Of their reach and win he
far more inaccessible when the proposed
tariff on wool shoots up their cost to The
eitiaen IN this free country, this home of
the brave and patient tariff ridden ropu-
lace There Is now no duty on the KIM Of
mattinss which Dingley and his crowd in
tend to double in cost and amid all the

ROBERTS is IN JAIL AND WOODS
is NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE
BOTH ARE COLORED.
The Trouble Occurred While They
Wer, Returning From Church and
Roberts Protected His Sister
In a Most Summary Man
ner From Assault.

Josh Roberts shot Jim Woods in the
| back with a 3S-calibre pistol in
front of Woeltz's store on North Pc
cos street about 1890 o'clock this
morning, and now Roberts is in the
city Jail, while Woods is lingering be-
tween life and death, with chances ia
voring the latter. Both are negroes,
the former being a bootblack, about
IS years of age, and Woods is en-
ployed in the roundhouse Of the Inter
national railroad, and is about IS
years old. The trouble arose about
Roberts sister, whom, it is said,
Woods tried to beat up last night as
they were returning from church.
Woods lives on San Marcos street and
is said to be married to a sister of
Roberts. The latter claims that
Woods has not treated his wife with
the utmost kindness and that last
night he got after Woods about strik-
ing his sister. He says that Woods
went for him with knife, and in or
der to defend himself he pulled his re-
volver, and the rest is already told.
Immediately after the shooting Rob-
erts made his escape. The police
were notified and Mounted Officers
Beck, Brown, Van Ripper and Mitchell
repaired to the scene. 1t was learn
ed that Roberts had gone to a friends
house on Carr hill, and with the aid
of colOred boy the officers located
the house where Roberts sought ref
uge. The house was surrounded by the
police and Officer Beck went in and
got the man. He took him to the po-
lice station and he was locked up.
Woods in the meantime was on the
sidewalk, in front of Woeltz's store,
where DR.. Walton attended him.
Woods has been removed to his
home, where the bullet was extracted.
1t had lodged under the left shoulder
blade. He is in a critical condition.

STILL FORGING AHEAD.

A representative of the Light paid
a visit yesterday afternoon to the
large foundry and manufacturing es-
adjustment of the F. f. Collins Man
ufacturing company, and was kind
ly shown through this extensive plant.
Every department seemed to be full
of orders and the hundreds of en-
ployes busy as bees in hive turning
out new work, as well as general re-
pairing. Among the new improve
ments is a large artesian well, in which
several kinds of mineral waters have
been discovered. Mr.. Collins says
he will build n rock and stone wall
and miniature cave through which
he will run the overflow Of water, both
sulphur and sweet water, giving 1t
the appearance of a natural spring.
He will, he says, il he can get permits
sion from the council to do so, erect
two public drinking fountains, for
both man and beast, one on Houston
street, and the other on st. Mary's
street.
Mr.. Collins is a progressive, pushing
citizen. and strangers in our city will
find his establishment well worth a
visit. To properly describe this nam
moth industry would take several col
umnS space.
