the weather suffer from rheumatism.

The "WOrld" Defends Them.

The New York World contains rather novel
defense OF leading Populists of Kansas on the
income tax matter. The World says editorially:
The movement in the Kansas legislature for
the adoption of resolution asking congress to
submit proposition to change the constitution
so as TO permit the taxation of "inordinate
wealth will be met by the usual sneers and
]eers IN the centers of wealth. 1t would be
we'll, however, for the wealthy classes to re-
member that at the last election 800 900 cit
izens voted for platform which demands an in
come tax and even went to the foolish and
dangerous limit of proposing to pack the SUI
preme court of the United States in order to Sc
cure reversal of its decisions against this tax
Before abusing large masses of citizens for
favoring an income tax would it not be we'll to
try IN imagination, to ''put yourself in their
places ?"
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
tolling hard and living with a rigid economy
that only poverty can justify. Suppose your
ambition had been narrowed to keeping your
family on top of the earth and paying your tax
es and interest Oh the mortgage. Suppose you
had done a little better, as many of the farmers
have done, and had by good management or by
good luck saved few hundred or a few thou
sand dollars. Or suppose you were a mechanic
or mill operative or a day laborer, even worse
OFT In many ways than the average farmer.
tl,ott ho1a h,,r Oft tow
tor the support of the federal government-ag-
gregatinG the enormous amount of billion dol
lars every two \ears-wtre placed, as now, up
on the consumption of the country, and every
day necessities of the people. Under this sys-
tenn taxation is unequal and therefore unjust
1t takes no account either of ability to pay or
benefits received. The farmers or the me-
chanic's or The small sa,aried mans family of
five pays almost as much per capita for the sup
port of the federal government does the mil
lonaire's family of five.
Is this right Is it equal Is it demo-
cratic?
If you, Mr.. Multi Millionaire, were one of
these plain hard-working people, would you
not think that 'inordinate weatl'-incomes
beyond the needs of luxury-incomes that war
rant $40 900 balls and $Ioo, 900 or $500, 900
year for living expenses--ought to pay some
thing toward the support of the government
that protects and conserves such wealth
Wouldn't You? When you rail at these men as
anarchists" or ''sociaists" try to put your
self in their places.

LAST week, the Eagle INDUCED in lot of
rot about the Riggs-Smart contest trying to
make it appear that the contest was not fairly
conducted, and that Judge Riggs holds his seat
by fraud. 1t is not at all likely that the editor
of the Eagle ever read the report of the pro-
ceedngs of the contest. We have the pub
lshed statement of F. NJ McHale, Mr.. Smart's
own attorney, in which he reviews the proceed
ings, and he says that everything about the
contest was fair and honorable, and that there
is no doubt of Judge Riggs election.

KANSAS AGlTAToR. GARRETT. KANSAS.

SENATOR TuLMAN called on President Nc
Kinley the other day. The report says there
was nobody else present at the conference,
which was in the nature of a friendly call on
the part of Mr.. Tillman, who could not refrain
from getting in good word for silver. Refer
ence was made by the President to the tariff
bill now before congress, and he expressed the
belief that its passage by congress would have
a tendency to brighten things considerably in
the line of business. cit remains to be seen
what it will do" replied the South Carolina
senator, "for the patient is very sick We will
try your physc, however, and if that does not
cure him, there will be no other way than to
prescribe our remedy, which is the only thing
that will effect permanent cure"
