INGRATITUDE.
(Chicago Record.)

And now the Hartford Courant. the
organ OF the Republican party in Con-
necticut, has denounced the Oxnard
tariff bill and declares It's passage IS
not only unnecessary. but impolitic.
This is the height of ingratitude, be-
cause the chief purpose of that bill was
to protect the tobacco growers of Con-
necticut and prevent them from voting
the Democratic ticket at the next Pres
idential election.

OF thoEe who profis by large appfopria-1
3tions. A surplus In the treasury offers
constant temp atione to extravagance,
and extravaganza, In turn. cOmpelr q
resort to new means Of taxation. This
fact. which lie being kept in the back
ground until the campaign lie over. is a
fair illustration OF the imposition which
will be attempted when there is q con-
siderable amount Of money idle in the
treasury. The reha bilitation Of the mer-
chant marine, laudable in itself, Is made
the pretext for expenditure Of public
money for the benefit of large ship own
ers. and in the interests of a transpor-
tation monopoly. The government being
only the agent OF the people, has no
right to collect from the people taxes be-
You'd the legitimate needs of govern
ment honestly and effectively admins
tered. and public servants should exer-
else the same degree Of care in the use
of the peoples money that private in
dividuale do in the use OF their own
money. With restoration of q foreign
policy consistent with American ideas
there can be an immediate and large re-
duction in the burdens now borne by the
people,.
BY inadvertence the income tax plank
agreed upon by the resolutions commit
tee was omitted from the platform as
read and adopted. The subject, how
ever. is covered by the reaffirmatIon OF
the Chicago platform, and 1 take this oc-
casion to reassert my belief in the prin-
ciple which undsrlies the income tax.
Congress should have authority to levy
and collet an income tax whenever nee
essary, and an amendment to the federal
lconStitution specifically comforting such
authority ought TO be supported by even
those who may think the tax unneces-
sary at this time In the hour of dan
ger the government can draft the citi-
zen; it ought to be able to draft the
pocketbook as We'll. Unless money is
more precious than blood we can not af-
| ford to give greater protection to the
incomes of the rich than to the lives OF
| the poor.
The subjects, however. treated in this
letter, important as each may seem in
Itself. do not press 30 imperat ively for
solution as the question which the plat
form declares to be the paramount issue
lin this campaign. Whether we shall adj
/ here to, or abandon those ideas of gov
iernment Which have distinguished this
nation from other nations and given to
It's history itS peculiar charm and value
lsis question the settlement of which
can not be delayed. No other question
lean approach it in Importance: no other
lsauesticn demands such immediate con-
lsideration. 1t is easier to lose repu-
l.tation than TO establish one. and this
nation would find II a long and la borious
task to regain its proud position among
the nations If. under the stress of temp
tation. it should repudiate the self-evi-
dent truths proclaimed by our heroic
ancestors and sacredly treasured during
career unparalleled in the annals OF
/ time. When the doctrine that the people
are the only source of power is made Sc.
5cure from further attack we can safely
proceed to the settlement of the numer-
Gus questions which involve the domes-
tic and economic welfare of our citizens

THE TROUBLE IN BALKAN.

Very little is heard about the trouble
between Bulgaria and Roumanla, which
a few weeks ago seemed to threaten to
kindle a much dreaded war on the
Balkan peninsula, but the sparks are
not yet extinct.
The Rumanan king caused a ju-
dlcial investigation of the murder OF
Professor Michaileau,one Of his proml-
nent subjects, and Il Is now stated that
the responsibility Tor the assassination
has been traced TO the revolutionary
committee which has its headquarters
ln the Bulgarian capital.
And this Is not a It Is claimed
that proofs have been found that this
committee has planned a movement for
an invasion OF the Turkish province OF
Macedonia. to follow the proposed as
sassinatlon Of two kings. Alexander Of
servia and Charles OF Rumania. The
leader OF the revolutionary committee Is
said 20 be implicated In this vile plot.
NUNNll lNtle W. aug 1T NlN w NN'af
statements, the King ~ RoumanIa GER
talnly has a strong case against his
cousin ou the Bulgarian throne, unless
the latter take prompt steps for the
breaking up Of the revolutionary COM
mIttea and the punishment Of the
guilty parties. II a war is not wanted
iu eastern Europe Jus, now, Russia and
Austria viii undoubtedly keep the two
kings from actual hosullties, but unless
the matter is settled satisfactorily. the
danger Of an outbreak will remain, and
