Au AScu Ct' LOUIS man C8uses u Sonb8-
tional Tragedy.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 26.-James E.
Thorp, a motorman, was shot by Ira
Stansbury in front of the city hall
yesterday. Stansbury was in a buggy
which he was driving on the street car
track. Thorp ran an electric car up
behind the buggy and sounded the
gong for Stansbury to get off the
track. Stansbury was driving fast
and refused to turn out. Thorp ran
his car up to the buggy and bumped it
off the track. Stansbury dispas-
sionately stopped his horse, lowered
the hood of his buggy, produced
a revolver from under the seat and
carefully shot the motorman through
the thigh, when arrested by an aston
ished policeman. Stanbury was per-
fectly calm. He said he had as much
right on the street as car, and that
no motorman had any franchise to run
him down. Stanbury is n years old
and has been a resident of St Louis
for sixty years. Twenty years ago he
was proprietor of the largest saddlery
and harness establishment in the city.

Jesse r. Grants Expenses.

WASHINGTON, April ga story has
been in circulation here for some DAYS
that Jesse R, the youngest son of
General Grant, asked the committee
of arrangements to send him money,
because he was too poor to pay his ex-
penses from California to New York,
and that $50 was telegraphed him by
Horace Porter. 1t is considered very
strange that he should call upon the
New York people for financial assist
ance when his mother has an income
of $40, ,Ooo or S1c, ,OOp a year, his sister
at least S25, 900 a year, and his brother
Ulysses, who lives near him in Cali
fornia, is rated as rich man, having
married the only child ot ex-senator
Chaffee, the Colorado millionaire. It
is nevertheless true that General Por-
ter did telegraph $3.50 to Jesse Grant
to pay his fare from California to New
York. At the same time, it is ex-
planned that the committee of arrange
ments is paying the expenses of all The
invited guests who desire them to
do so.

The Income Tax.

The movement in the Kansas legis-
lature for the adoption of a resolution
asking congress "to submit PROPOSE
tion to change the constitution so as to
permit the taxation of inordinate
wealth." will be met by the usual
sneers and jeers in the centers of
wealth, says the New York World. It
would be we'll, however, for the wealthy
classes to remember that at the last
election 6,50O,O00 citizens voted for q
platform which demands an income
tax, and even went to the foolish and
dangerous limit of proposing to pack
the supreme court of the United States
in order to secure reversal of its de-
cision against this tax.
Before abusing large masses of citi-
zens for favoring an income tax would
it not be well to try, in imagination, to
put yourself in their place."
Suppose, Mr.. Millionaire, that you
were one of the hundreds of thousands
of farmers in Kansas and elsewhere
who are barely able to make the
ends meet" year after year, though
toiling hard and living with a rigid
economy that only poverty can justify.
Suppose your ambition has been mar
rowed to keeping family on top of
the earth and paying your taxes and
the interest on your mortgage Sup
pose you had done q little better, as
many of the farmers have done and
had by good luck, saved a few hun
dred or few thousand dollars. Or sup
pose you were a mechanic or mill
operative or day laborer, even worse
off in many ways than the average
farmer.
And suppose that the whole burden
of taxation for the support of the fed
eral government-aggregating the
enormous amount of billion dollars
every two years-were placed, as now,
upon the consumption of the common
everyday neeessaries of the people.
Under this system taxation is unequal.
and therefore unjust. 1t takes no ac-
count either of ability to pay or bene-
fits received. The farmers or the me-
chanic's or the small salaried mans
family of five pays almost as much
per capita for the support of the fed
eral government as does the million
aires family of five.
SIS this right? Is 1t equal3 Is 1t
democratic?"

SENATOR HARRIS HAS AN
AMENDMENT.
REVERSES ALL POOLINGS.
Would Give the Interstate Commerce
Commission Greater Power and Es-
tablish Maximum Rates-Ihe
Fight Over the Foraker
Bill Promises to BE
Long and Bitter.

WAsHIN GToN, April 26. - United
States Senator Harris of Kansas has
prepared an amendment to the For
aker pooling bill which he will intro
duce in Congress. 1t provides for an
entire reversal of the plan of author
lzing pooling contracts as contem-
plated in the Foraker bill, and meets
with the favor of all who desire to see
that the carrier is given no unfair adj
vantage over the shippers and that all
interests are equally protected.
Senator Foraker wants to give the
railroads authority to pool and then
submit their schedules of rates and
classification of goods to the interstate
commerce commission for its approval
or rejection. The plan suggested by
Senator Harris in his amendment is
much simpler and will be much more of
curb upon extortionate pooling rates.
His amendment provides that full
and complete schedule of the maximum
rates and charges, together with
the classification of all goods, COM
moditles or merchandise, which shall
be enforced, charged or used in the
business of such common carriers,
shall be submitted to the interstate
commission shall be approved as just
and reasonable before such contracts
as suggested in the pooling bill shall
be authorized.
This would afford national maxi
mum rate schedule. It would give it
also complete authority to regulate
common carriers by granting it powe-
to refuse assent to pooling contracts
where the rates were not fair and
equitable
Senator Harris claims there can be
no valid objection to his amendment.
1t simply makes as condition prece-
dent instead of condition subsequent,
the consent of the interstate commerce
commission to any pooling agreements
| entered into by the railroads. If the
roads find it necessary to make these
| agreements in order to conduct their
business, the change proposed by his
amendment ought to be satisfactory.
The fight over the pooling bill is to be
| long and bitter, whether it is entered
into now or postponed until the regu-
lar session. For the first time since
the Interstate commerce commission
was created it is in the power of Con-
gress to include in one measure all
legislation to permit it to cope on
equal terms with the powerful rail-
road corporations.

Ciruieda Disgraced.

HAVANA, April 26.-It is said here
that Commander Cirujeda, who COM
manded the forces that killed General
Antonio Maceo, has been sent back to
Spain by Weyler under grave charges.
Spaniards accuse him openly of being
the cause of several defeats at Punta
Brava al the hands of Castillo, the in
surgent leader, and at Santa Ana,
where almost the entire guerrilla force
was killed. The loss was seventy
killed. The chief of the guerillas was
Miro, owing to the absence of Cru ieda
and the death of the captain. Clrujeda
was at Havana selling some cattle he
had captured. He was ordered to
command his forces and prevent the
landing of the expedition at Santa Ana.
He remained at Mirlano and sent the
guerrillas with Miro.

Did Not Fear Water.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, April 26.-Rev. s. Il.
Pollard preached at the Mount Zion
Baptist church in this county last
night with his clothing so wet that
little streams of water trickled from
the pulpit He drove to the church in
a buggy and when he reached Cedar
creek he found it raging torrent.
He rolled up his trousers stood on the
seat and drove in. At times the horse
was hardly able to keep his nose above
the water. The buggy was completely
out of sight and the preacher stood in
water up to his knees. When he
reached the church he said that Bap.
tist should not fear water.

He was clearly outclassed.
