A STATE INCOME TAX.

TO establish a State income tax is
the purpose of a bill introduced in
the Senate by Mr.. Gibson, of Erie,
who makes its provisions such that
it would draw from everybody en-
.joying $1,000 year or more in sal
ary or from business or investment,
except the State and Government
bonds, saysthe Lewisburg Journal.
1t would compel the rich to pay
more in proportion to their circum-
stances than persons in moderate cir
cumstances, the rate of levy being
gradually increased as the amount
of income advances.
The bill is to tax gains, profits or
incomes derived from any kind of
property, rents, interests, dividend
or salary, or from any profession,

power......Our matchmaker, A. Z.
Aucker, had an attack of the grip
last week. ...... The following defini-
tions are copied out ofan old diction-
ary that were in use when we were
young: Love is a disease that some
times keeps man sick a long time
after he gets well; whiskey has a
peculiar way of getting man down
after he gets it down.

M1DDLEBURG INDUSTRIES.

Why is it that we get no manu-
factories in our town? We have
men of means here and several OF
our townsmen have offered 81 ,O0C
to any concrn that would come
to Middleburg and locate at this
place and give employment to "a
hands. This is a good ana healthy
location; good schools and low taxes.
ANY company or corporation wish
ing to start any manufacturing busi-
ness will do well to come to our
town.
The above we have taken from
the Middleburg letterin the Adams
burg Herald last week. We have
been in Middleburg for 5 years and
have nvtyet heard ofsuch men obli-
eating themselves for even 81 900.
They can and should, but will they?
If five, eight, ten or more men
agreetogive$lO0O each toanindus-
tryor ifany number of men will raise
$4,000, $4,000, $4,000 or more
money, the editor of the Posi- pro-
misses to get the industry, as large
as the proportion of the money rails
ed will warrant.
We mean exactly what we say.
The industries will come as soon as
those who are able will give the en-
couragement they should. Those who
would like to, cannot and those who
can, have not yet done so. We
would ask the Herald correspond
ent to hand to us the list of these
men with their obligations attached
and we will bring an industry to
their attention that must bear close
investigation before their obligation
becomes operative.

WANT A NEW TRIAL.

In writing up the Crissinger mur-
,r trial, the editor Of the Milton
Standard puts it thus: "The trial OF
edward Crissinger for the murder
Of Daisy Smith which has occupied
he attention of the court during the
past week came to a close on Satur-
day evening, when the jury after an
hours deliberation returned a verdict
of murder in the first degree. This
is the first conviction for murder
since McManus was convicted hack
in the seventies. Before noon Ex-
District Attorney p. Mahon made
the closing speech for the prosecu-
ton. Judge Savidge delivered his
charge and at two o'clock the case
went to the jury. 1t was the gen.
cral belief that no other verdict than
murder in the first degree could be
reached. The jury returneda verdict
of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree about fouro'clock.
The defendants attorneys, it is
understood, will make an application
for new trial. One ofthe reasons
assigned for it is that the jury was
illegally drawn. If this is the case,
why is it? The jury commissioners
cost the county four or five times as
much as they honestly earned last
year and the juries were drawn right
under the nose of the court. The
people are getting sick and tired Of
this kind of rot. Crissinger is a
brute who had a fair impartial trial,
and if he don't stretch hemp it will
be because there is no Justice in the
Northumberland county court.
There have been within fifteen years
seventy-two killings in this county
and not a single hanging"

Why Englishmen Failed.

Cairo, August 27.-In the course
of his speech yesterday at the open
ing of the Atbara bridge, which
was constructed by a Philadelphia
firm after competition with British
firms for the contract, the sirdar.
Lord Kitchuer of Khartoum, said /:
The construction of this maguif
cent bridge, | think. may fairly be
considered a record achievement.
So far as the failure of the efforts
topIace the construction order in
England is concerned, | think il
demonstrates that the relations
between labor and capital there
are not sufficient to give confidence
to the capitalist aud to induce him
to take the risk of establishing mp.
to-date workshops that would ena-
bic Great Britain to maintain her
position as the hrst constructing
nation in the world. But as Eng
lishmen failed l am delighted that
our cousins across the Atlantic
stepped in.
This bridge is due to their energy
ability and power to turn out works
Of magnitude in less time than any
body else l congratulate the
Americans on their success in the
erection of a bridge in the heart Of
Africa, They have shown real grtt
far from home in the hottest mouth
Of the year and depending upon the
labor Of foreigners
