That Think Alike Argument t.

Editor Representative
I notice the fusionists keep asking
why the Populists and Democrats should
not vote together since they both think
alike.
1 think they should, and if they do
think alike they will.
But my experience leads me to believe
that the Democrats are like the little
boy who said:
DO you see that little girl? Well her
father is my father, but we are no re-
lation."
This was a puzzle until some philoso-
pher discovered that the little rascal
lied.
From the foundation Of the Peoples
Party until short time ago we had
in this congressional district a Demo-
think alike politician
He is a nice man, college bred, hand
some, Chesterfield In manners, and
possessed OF the most even temper of
any man I ever met
We were friends. AS a man among
men he Is a gentleman in every respect.
AS think alike Democratic politician
he is humbug.
In 1892 and in 1894 when / had the
misfortune to be candidate on the
Populist ticket, the above mentioned
gentleman. as a member of the Demo-
cratic state central committee.
tried to soft soap" me by
the think alike process. He
wrote me letters-we met on trains and
In town,he came to my house, he sent
committees to confer with me, and the
refrain was always the same.
I'VE think alike! Why in the name
Of heaven can't we vote alike and save
our beloved country from the reign of
plutocracy?"
1t made me sOrrowful to refuse their
request, but something, perhaps the
shade of my revolutionary ancestors
seemed to warn me against the "gift
bearing Creeks"
LII 1870 L met Ln1S man several times
He was an elector on the Palmer ticket
and was making speeches for Mckinley!
I tried to reason with him. I said:
You were always trying to persuade me
to fuse with the Democrats and now we
have nominated Bryan and you kick.
He said: Bryan is not Democrat, he
is a ID Populist!" He got mad
said if the Rocky mountains were in
simultaneously turned into gold, gold
would still be worth one hundred cents
on the dollar. and wound up by asking
me who bought my clothes and paid me
for talking politics.
l will not quote what said. But this
has been my experience with one of the
best educated, finest appearing good
natured Democrats with whom it has
been my pleasure to refuse to deal.
If we ever thought alike a change hN
come over his thinking machine.
There has no change come to mine.
II we think alike let us all vote tho
Populist ticket-or all take new name.

THE INCOME TAX.

The Republican party is determined
that accumulated wealth shall not pay
its just share of the burders Of govern
ment, under an income tax
That system will do for aristocratic
England, and all the European nations,
but it is outrageous to propose it in re-
publican America!
Here is the report:
WASHINGTON, May A brief but
sharp debate was precipitated in the SEN
ate today on the income tax proposition.
The resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States relating to the succession to the
presidency was under discussion. Mr.
Mills, Of Texas, proposed an amendment
in the form of new section, intended
to authorize congress to lay tax on in
comes, in such form as to meet the re-
Quirements of the decision of the su-
preme court.
The amendment offered was as fol-
lows:
Direct taxes shall not be apportioned
among the several states which may be
included within this Union according to
their respective numbers, but congress
shall have power to lay and collect d.
rect taxes as other taxes, duties, imports
and excises are levied and collected.
Mr.. Mills explained that his amend
ment was offered in order that the
points raised by the supreme court
against the income tax proposition might
be met
Mr.. Hoar made an appeal to Mr. Mills
to withhold his amendment, promising
that any time in the future he would
assist him in getting consideration for
his income tax amendment.
Mr.. Mills insisted upon his amend
ment, and Mr.. Hoar then moved to lay
it on the table.
Upon this the ayes and nays were
demanded.
Pending the voting, Mr. Mills, when
pressed by Mr.. Hoar for a reason for
insisting upon his amendment at this
time. said: II want to tie it to the
pending resolutions so that it may reach
the American people who are in favor
of it."
FORAKER'S VIEWS.
Mr.. Foraker, Of Ohio, announced that
he was in favor of bonds, the resolution
and the pending amendment. He was In
favor, he said. of an income tax. He
would vote, however. under the circum-
stances, to lay the proposed amendment
on the table
The ayes and nays were called on the
motion to lay the proposed amendment
on the table. and it was carried, 80 to
20, as follows:
Yeas--Aldrich, Baker, Caffery. Carter

Marylanders Expect to Raise About
$4,000 for the Commodore.

committee of forty prominent Cumberland
people, composed equally of ladies and gen.

state without trouble. and that after the
organization gets to work from $500 TO
81 900 will be easily secured in Allegany
and Garrett counties 1t is proposed to
purchase or build an elegant country seat
for Commodore Schley, where he Will be
invited to reside after he retires from the
naval service Commodore Schley will, of
course, select the location.
Mayor Malster of Baltimore has written
his hearty cooperation and it is likely that
he will take charge of the movement in
that city General Felix Agnus, editor of
the Baltimore American, informs General
Sprigg that he will assist the movement in
every possible way. and encouraging letters
are being received from all over the state.

Trial Heats of the National Regatta
to BE ROwed TomnrroxS

The annual regatta of the National Asso-
citation of Amateur Oarsmen will be rowed
on the Schuylkill river at PhiIadeiphia to-
morrow and Saturday. The entries are
fewer than usual and less interest seems to
be taken in the affair than usual This is
believed to be due to the fact there have
been a number of desertions from the asso-
citation by rowing clubs opposed to the de-
velopment of centralized power in the or
ganization. Then, too, there is a feeling
that the finest exhibitions of Craftsmanship
are afforded by the intercollegiate races.
and these have been rOwed and the fast
crews of the country have been determined
there is little left for the national regatta
