and the work was placed in the hands
of a contractor. There was work for
forty men with shovels and twenty

work was to begin he was surround

array of laborers many times the
number needed, surging to and fro,
each anxious to be first to reach the
foreman and be sure of work. The
pay was $1.25 day and the men fair

filled and many were left to return to

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY recommend
ed and congress granted an appro-
priation of fifty thousand dollars to
aid the suffering Americans in Cuba.
We have no objection to the money
thus spent, but if this government
intends making donations of money
to help our distressed and suffering
citizens, it might be well to first care
for those who are on our own soil,
and suffering from the mistaken poll
cy of our own government, before
aiding the victims of other govern
ments. ,f ..
If the Spanish government dealt
justly with the Cuban people there
would be no hardship or suffering in
their midst, and if justice were done
our people in governmental acts there
would be no distress and hunger in
the land.
The Spanish government should be
compelled to deal justly with Cubans,
and our government should do justice
in legislative way to her own sub
jects, and if this were done in both
cases there would be no need of chari-
table contributions or Donations

A SANTo CLARA county (Cal. fruit
company is drying potatoes this sea-
son. May Goth it had $4,000 pounds
dried, which represents five times
that weight of green potatoes. The
drying process removes four-fifths of
the weight and leaves all the nutri-

merit of the product is that it can be

The Income Tax.

Representative Cochran, Of Mis-
souri,, proposes to boldly take by the
horns the bull that impedes the adopt
ing OF q Federal tax on incomes. He
has introduced resolution for sub
mitting to the Legislature Of the
State the following amendment TO
the Constitution:
An income tax shall not be con
strued as a direct tax within the
meaning OF Section 2 and Section of
Article of the Constitution, but the
Congress shall have power to lay and
collect tax on incomes derived from
any source whatever, without regard
to apportionment or enumeration.
The amendment Of the Federal
Constitution is an exceedingly diff
cult undertaking. Mr.. Cochran's
proposition must receive a two-thirds
vote in both Houses of Congress and
afterward be ratified by three-tourths
of the States before it can become a
part of the constitution.
An income tax is one of the faires.
taxes that can be imposed. The main
objection to the tax lies in the diff
Guilty of ascertaining the amount OF
an income. But this difficulty is not
insuperable; and the tax is collected
in some countries with fair degree
of equity. There is very little doubt
that such an amendment, if it could
be pushed through Congress, would
receive the assent of the requisite
number of states.

INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT
HIS PICTURE TORN FROM
THE WALLS.
And Tramped Upon by Men Who
Were Thrown Out of Employ
ment.

WILMERDING, Pa, May 29.--Six
hundred workmen joined in tearing
down and trampling upon the pic
ture of the president of the United
States here yesterday.
Four hundred employees of the
Westinghouse Air Brake Co. had re-
ceived notice of discharge. Lack
of work" was the reason assigned.
In the fitting room" of the manu-
factory were pictures of President
Mckinley. One likeness was on a
banner designated Prosperity" !"
The workmen, furious at their dis
charge, rushed to this room. Follow
ing them were 200 others. The lead.
ers tore down large print of the
President and tossed the pieces to
the crowd.
The men dismissed were all expert
machinists. They had taken part in
a parade at Canton, o., in the cam
paign, and had bought uniforms for
it. Returning to their homes the
men collected their regalia and made
bonfires Of 1t. The suspension fol
lowed a 25 per cent. reduction in
wages. The town is excited over
the insult to the president.

or the Earth's Surface Felt In Various
Places.
Cincinnati, June, LA distinct but
slight earthquake was experienced
throughout the south Atlantic and
middle southern states.
1t is stated at 1.-The weather bureau
that the direction of the wave was
from south to north, but reports re-
reived from various sections are Con-
Eicting. In some of the localities, it is
stated, the direction of the disturb
Gnces was in an easterly to westerly
direction, but the records of the in
Etruments here are probably correct.
The shock occurred, as nearly as has
been estimated, at 2 p. N. In some To-
calities the time is given as 1853, and
in others as late as 2:10, and Its dura-
ton was less than minute.
AS far as can be learned Savanna,
Ca, was the furthest point south at
which the tremor was felt, while the
northern boundary of the wave was
middle Maryland. West 1t was felt as
far as Knoxville, Tenn.
The disturbance seems to have been
most severe in the Appalachian noun
tain region. Reports from GAINESVILLE
and other Ohio towns show that the
shock was felt plainly.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sounds or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out. of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Winter Wheat MiIlers.

Following is the resolution adopted
by the Winter Wheat Millers at their
annual session in St. Louis last week,
in which they take exceptions to the
policy of President Mckinley and the
Republican congress. 1t would seem
the millers have been badly buncoed.
The resolution was presented by
Chairman Cotton of Ohio, and was
adopted without debate. 1t reads as
follows:
Whereas, The Republican party in
its platform of principles and by its
representations previous to the last
presidential campaign held forth a
promise of policy favoring the idea
of reciprocity upon a basis broad
enough to provide for commercial
treaties with other nations by which
American trade might be extended
abroad, and by this means enlisting
the support of nearly the entire flour
milling industry of the United States
/ and,
whereas, The action of congress
thus far taken upon this subject has
been of negative character and alb
solutely fails to recognize the press
ing need of new and wider markets
therefore, be it,
Resolved, That the Winter Wheat
Miller's league in annual convention
assembled in the city of st. Louis
representing the flour manufacture o.
the 10 central wheat-producine
states, most earnestly reminds tht
