Mecklenburg Times, (Dem.)
The following is the text of the
joint resolution introduced a few
days ago by Senator Butler:
"That the following article be pro-
posed to the Legislatures of the sew.
eral States as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
which, when ratified by three fourths
of said legislatures, shall be valid
as part of the Constitution, viz:
"ARTIcLE XVI.
1.-THE Congress shall have power
to lay and collect taxes on all in
comes regardless of the source from
which the income is derived or &C.
quired; but all income taxes shall be
uniform throughout the United
States"
The Democratic party passed the
tariff bill that included the income
tax provision, and the tax would have
been imposed save for the fact that
the Supreme Court declared 1t uncon-
stitutional. This resolution propose.
to make such q tax constitutional. so
that the Supreme Court may not
stand between the people and organ
lied wealth. The great fortunes of
this country do not bear their share
of the burdens of taxation, which fall
heavy upon the shoulders Of the poor.
An income tax is Just and right.
and though there is no chance Of the
joint resolution passing Congress.
the income tax will come in time.

One, HOPE Elias, has given an inter-
view declaring. strongly his opposition
to cooperation Of all who are op-
posed TO the gold standard and monop-
oily rule. The railroad organs in the
State have published the interview
with . great deal of pleasure and ap-
prevail. Even some papers that pre-
tend 10 be supporting Bryan have pub
lishsd and approved Of the interview.
Of course, Mr.. Elias is opposed to such
cooperation, because he does not
want to see such victory over the gold
syndicate and the allied trusts. Mr..
Elias lib e the Charlotte observer and
some other monopoly Democrats would
rather ee Mckinley President than
Bryan. They want to see the railroads
and the Ransom machine control the
next legislature. They had rather
see the legislature in the hands of the
railroads aud monopoly Republican,
than in the hands of the representa-.
tives of the people.
1t should be noted in this connec.
ton that as soon as Mr.. Hope Ella:

Last week the House defeated the
bill known as the Loud Postal Bill.
The defeat of this measure in the
House was something of a surprise, as
it passed the House about a year ago
and failed in the Senate; and it was
expected that it wOuIl again pass
the House. The POpulisL in the House
put up splendid fight against the
measure, AMI il is .. heir credit
that the bill was defeated. The pre-
tended purpose of this bill was to cure
deficit in pastal revenue caused by
the handling of second class matter,
but the real purpose was to make a
rate on reform literature so high as to
practically debar it from the mails.
The purpose involved in the bill is a
very dangerous one, and it will no
doubt be attempted again in some
shape. The country is to be congrat-
ulated, however, that it has been twice
met with defeat.

court that the result now is being
watched with interest. But if County
Attorney Jetmore was not as enthusi-
astic as he might have been then, he is
starting out now as if he meant buSi-
ness. The jury at the last term was
largely made up of men who did not
care to convict and this term it is be-
Ieved that the jury will give better
satisfaction to those in favor of con-
victing liquor sellers.
The case against Hayslip which is
now on trial rests principally upon the
evidence of H. w. Moore. Several of the
the witnesses who bought drinks at the
place claim that it was hop tea they
bought and not beer.
Moore testified that he had drank
beer in the place several times with G.
H. Hollcraft. with w. H. Keepers, one
of the bridge contractors, and Francis
Brown.
On cross examination Moore admitted
that he had told Hayslip when he asked
him how much he would take to keep
out of the way that the trial would
cost him about 5000. He said Hayslip
offered him $25.
Sam Kerr, who assisted in making
the arrest, was next called. He gave
the particulars of the arrest but said

ONE TRAIN SECURED.
Rock Island to Run an Early
Accommodation Train Into
Topeka.

The Rock Island management has de-
cided to establish a plug train between
Horton and Kansas City, and compete
with the Santa Fe on Kansas City-Topexa
business.
The schedule as now proposed makes
the time between Topeka and Kansas
City l hour and 80 minutes, and the train
will be run through as an express, MAX
ing no stops between the points This
will be 40 minutes quicker time than now
made by the Santa Fe, as the plug
stops at all stations along the line and
makes the distance in hours and 10 min>
utes.
The Rock Island train would leave Hor-
ton early in the morning and do local
business between Horton and Topeka,
leaving here on about the same time as
the Santa Fe train. Returning, it would
leave Kansas City about o'clock in the
evening.
The plug train was talked of when
the winter time card was made up on the
Rock Island, but on account of numerous
details which had to be arranged the mat
ter was postponed. The management of
the road is in favor of its establishment
and it is now proposed to put on the
train at the opening of spring or possibly
sooner.
This train from Horton will be a step
in the direction the Topeka merchants
have been urging the railroads to move.
1t will bring customers from Horton and
all intermediate stations.
