ming on the fourth dag of January, A. D. 1897,
two-thirds of all the members elected to each

State of California, to-wit:
The age-herald., 1898-04-25
The War Revenue Bill.

The house ways and means committee, losing sight of the fall elections, never has devised a very cunning war tax bill, and yet it should deceive no one. They pro- pose praise sl0O,0Oe,OOo year of additional revenue without offending the capitalists of Mark Hanna's campaign subscription lists or the plain people who are already indirectly taxed to the limit of their ca-
 paeity. And this is the way they propose
 to do 1t: A tax on beer of two dollars
 barrel instead of one dollar. This is ex-
 peeted to bring in $50 900, ,OOO year. A
 license tax on dealers in tobacco is ex- pected to produce $5.OOOOG0 a year. The proposed stamp tax covers proprietary medicines, perfumery, cosmetic, ginger ale, mineral waters, chewing gum, bonds, stock,
 bank checks, drafts, bills of exchange, bills
 of lading, receipts of nearly all kinds, cer-
 tificates of deposit, bills of sale, tele-
 graphic messages, life insurance policies,
 deeds, mortgages, wills and protests. There
 is also tonnage tax.
 These pervasive stamp duties are expect
 ed to yield large sum of money, nearly all of which will come from those who are the least able to pay. If instead of the vexatious stamp schedule an income tax
 were levied, the masses would scarcely | feel the money burden of the war. But | this could not be done without offending | MT. Mark Hanna and his noble army of money lords These people have but one sure and common bond--eternal hostility | to an income tax. They combined their | strength and pull to overthrow the tax Of | 1894 in the supreme court, and they stand | like wall against a levy of new income | tax And yet there is no tax in this world
 that is so easily borne a tax from ac- cumulated wealth. All the other leading countries, notably Great Britain and Ger
 many, have such tax, getting through it very considerable parts of their respect | i've revenues, but those countries have no 1 such combine as this country harbors, and | is forced to bow down to. How long this l condition of things will last-how long the weight of federal taxation will continue to be borne by those least able to pay, is d 1 question that the voters of this land should | consider when they vote for members of | congress, and later still for new presi- | dent. It is a question that must be finally | decided at the polls.

Time Spent in Shaving

From the Boston Journal.
 Think of the time lost In shaving! Camp bell, the poet, calculated that a man who slaves himself every day and lives to the age of 70 eXpends during his life as much time in the act of shaving as would have suffced for learning seven languages. Southey, commenting on this, minuted him. self May 15, 1880. during the act of shaving, and he found the time employed nine min utes. He neither hurried the operation nor fingered about it. Listen now to William Corbett concerning shaving: "As 1t may cost only about five minutes of time, and may be and frequently Is made to cost thirty or even fifty minutes, and as only fifteen minutes make about a fifty-eighth part of the hours of our average daylight, this being the case, this is matter of real importance. 1 once heard Sir John Sinclair ask Mr. Cochrane Johnstone whether he meaned to have a son of his, then a little boy, taught Latin. No, said MT. Johnstone, but I mean to do something better for him." What is that?' said Sir John. Why" said the other, "teach him to shave with cold water and without glass;

Governor Johnston

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Governor Johnston, of Alabama was the first of the southern governors to appre- ciate the improved conditions of business throughout the country, which offer a golden field for the substantial advance ment of the southern states. He is one of the most progressive executives the south has had since the war, and his broad intelligence and tireless and practo- cal energies eminently fit him to take the lead in the development of the boundlss resources of the south. He has so faith fully discharged the duties of his high office that his renomination and re-elec- ton are now assured practically without opposition.
 It is Governor Johnston's fortune to be chief magistrate of the southern state that possesses the grandest com bination of wealth to invite capital and industry, that can be found in any section of the south. There are other southern states which offer great advantages for

time, were sung by the thousands who were present.
 Familiar songs, such as "All Hall the Power of Jesus Name.'' 'tJesus Lover Of My Soul" ''Nearer My God to Thee," "Work for the Night Is Coming etc, went out upon the sweet spring air from thou sands of throats, up. up. to the gates of heaven, and the very angels must have si- fenced their harps, to catch the glorious sound!
 Rev. Dr. R. D. Wear of the Cumberland Presbyterian church directed the services. Rev. G. c. Kelly. D. D.. of the First Metho- dist church lead in prayer; Rev. O. P. Spiegel read the list of schools assembled; l; Rev. P. T. Hale, D. D., of the Southside Baptist church read a selection from the Bible and Rev. J. V. Mitchell lead in the responsive reading of the 24th and 14Sth Psalms MT. James Bowron delivered an exceedingly clear-cut and Interesting ad- dress upon "The Manliness of Christi Miss Elizabeth Cherry. of the Birmingham seminary, in dignified, magnetic, woman ly way spoke with great charm of Some Things Girl Can Do For Christ"
 The addresso f Rev. Dr. J. G. Murray of the Church of the Advent upon ''The Strength of Unity" was one of the very best and most timely features of the oeca- sion. Dr. Murray spoke with an earnest ness and power that very much impressed the huge audience which was in sympathy with his eloquent presentation of a glo- rious truth. Before the convention ad- journed Dr. Wear called MT. Van Hoose to the stage after paying a highly merited tribute to him as the originator and prime factor of this grand meeting. The children were invited by Dr. Wear to shake hands with MT. Van Hoose by raising their little hands and waving them to him. This was heartily done by thousands of bright-eyed, sweet-faced children and seemed a fitting finale to the most remarkable gathering ever assembled in the state. The benedic- tion was pronounced by Rev Dr: A. E. Curry, of the First Presbyterian church.
 The Sunday school convention is a thing of the past, but it is the beginning of an era that means more than any one man can tell, for the cause of Christ and humanity.
