RoBERTsoN's BILL.

The Season Deemed Inopportune for
Its Adoption-A Parliamentary
Commission Suggested to Ascer-
tain the Best Plan to Obtain
Revenue-An Income Tax Favor
ed.
The Committee OF the House Of
Representatives had quite an i'm
portant gathering at the Chamber
OF Commerce last evening. Numer-
ically it was small, but in matter Of
wealth and intelligence it was inAu-
ential and representative and those
present lent to the discussion an at
mosphere of frankness and fairness
and desire to do the right thing at
the right moment which must have
been satisfactory to Rep. Robertson,
although the decision was against
the immediate adoption Of his bill.
Among the speakers, who in the
main adopted the principle Of an
income tax, we're Messrs Robertson,
Swanzy, Bowen, Davies, Baldwin,
Carter, McStocker, Lowrey, and
amongst the silent ones Messrs.
Hackfeld, Atherton, Fisher, w, o.
Smith and others equally prominent.
Eventually the following resolu-
tion was on motion OF Messrs. Low
rey and Davies adopted unanimous
ly by show of hands, forty-two
votes being counted:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that House Bill No. 8,
To provide revenue for the Govern
ment by the imposition OF Tax ON

FRIDAY, MARCH Is, 1898.
THE INCOME TAX DISCUSSION.

The discussion at tho Chamber of
Commerce last evening on revenue
matters was a healthy one and will
bring beneficial results in its train.
The principles advocated by Rep.
Robertson will gain strength by de-
lay, and If an able and conscien-
tious commission be appointed the
Government will be in position to
act at the next Session of the Legis-
lature upon an understanding basis.
When we have obtained a knowl-
edge OF the fair aggregate value OF
our property on an impartial basis,
and not estimated by the arbitrary
vagaries OF assessors, and have also
learned the amount of our necessary
expenditures then it follows that we
can readily decide upon the amount
of the taxes to be levied. The dis
cussion last evening brought many
facts OF value to the surface and
among them was the one that we do
not yet know with any amount of
accuracy how much the country
really is worth.
Until the question of annexation
is decided it would appear to be un-
wise to attempt experiments in fiscal
legislation. When it is settled then
let us revise the whole OF our reve-
nue. system, and attempt~as much as
possible to raise the necessary reve-
nues for the support Of the Govern
ment by the two recourses OF SIN
direct taxation" and an "income
tax" aided by an internal revenue
on luxuries.
1t is very evident that our present
situation is not only unjust but in
expedient and very costly, and Mr..
Robertson is entitled to the thanks
OF the community for attracting
their attention to it.

THOSE CLAIMS.
More Information Given to the
Curious Regarding them.

More Information Given to the
Curious Regarding them.
In answer to Rep. Kshaulelio the
Ministry has given the following
information: Question 1: Please
state why the Government recog-
nizes no other claimant for DANCES
except that of Chas, Dunwell, an
English subject.
Answer: The Government con-
siders that, under the circums-
tances and in view OF the informa
tion in its possession the arrest Of the
various claimants and their deten-
tion was justifable.
The question regarding other
claims by the English Government
was answered as follows:
The matter covered by this ques
tion may still be subject of diplo
matte correspondence; this being
the case it seems unwise at this
time to make a public answer to the
question.
In regard to the question on COM
promise of the Government with
any person or persons in prison du-
ring the uprising of 1896 the follow
ing answer was made:
The Government has neither co M
promised nor settled with any per-
son or persons implicated in the
uprising of 1895.
The following answer was made to
the question in regard to the drop
ping by the United States Govern
ment of all claims for damage OF
her subject, imprisoned or exiled
during the Revolution of 1895.
But one claim has been presented
by the United States Of America,
that on behalf Of j.. Dureel on the
2lst OF July, 1896, for $4,000; the
liability for the payment of this
claim was denied by this Govern.
ment. since which time no further
correspondence has been had upon
this subject.
Question 5. You have stated tc
this House once that DureePs case
has been dropped. Please state il
the United States Government has
officially dropped it.
Answer No correspondence up.
on the subject has been received
from the United States Govern
ment since July 2l, 1895, when the
claim was first presented.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans ,s
Indigestion or in its chronic form, dys-
pepeia, and for the very reason that 1t
is so common many people neglect taxi
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trfiing stomach trouble, when
as a matter of fact, indigestion lays
the foundation for many incurable dis
eases. No person with a vigorous,
healthy stomach will fall a victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their begin
ming from poor digestion; thin, nervous
people are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear; weary, languid,
faded out woman owe their condition
to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as
a score of other troubles, when in fact,
as DR.. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover,
this remedy is not a patent medicine,
but it is a scientific combination of
pure pepsin (free from animal matter),
vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis
muth. 1t is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No extravagant claims are made for
them, but for Indigestion or any stom-
ach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are far ahead of any remedy yet dis
covered They act on the food eaten,
no dieting is necessary, simply eat all
the wholesome food you want and these
tables will digest it, A cure results,
because all the stomach needs is rest,
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
by doing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at Scots
per package. Little book on stomach
diseases and testimonials sent free by
addressing Stuart Co., chemists, Mar
shall, Mich.

charge of burglary preferred by one

Whereas, There are hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and, much time and eff

in text books, and in teaching the evil
effects OIL tobacco on lHe human system,
and
Whereas, This law is being constantly
violated and set at naught by those who
sell cigarettes to the youth of our city,
and realizing that example is much more
potent than precept; therefore We here
by protest against the use of tobacco
by the teachers OF our public schools,
and believing such use by these teache. S
counteracts the teachings of the text
books and is detrimental to the moral
character of the students and places a
great temptation in the way of the young
men under them. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we hereby urge the
board of control to use their influence on
these teachers to the end that they do not
by their example Counteract the teaching
of the text books, and thus encourage the
violation of the Law, and because hun
dreds of our youths are being destroyed,
both in mind and body, we appeal to
your honorable body tC use your best
endeavors, both with the teachers and
the violators of the law. You are the
guardians of our schools. therefore, of
our youths. and to you more than to any
one else belongs the enforcement of this
law.

A communication was read from the

regard to the tree that was on Dr..
Growers property, which was made

least three salaried policemen in the
borough, two by night and one by day.
