THAT LNCoME TAX PLANK.

Mr. BRYAN has made formal announcement
that whereas in 1896 the Democratic platform
declared free silver TO be the paramount issue
and he consequently devoted his notitcatlon
speech almost wholly to that topic this year
the platform declares imperialism to be the
paramount issue and it win consequently be the
only one 10 which his notification speech will
pay particular attention This determination
on the part of the Democratic dictator consider
ably enhances the anxiety which has been gen
erally felt for the income tax issue ever since
the Kansas City Convention adjourned without
having said word on the subject. The omis-
sion of plank which had been commonly re-
garded as indispensable was not discovered. we
believe until the following day, but 1t must be
admitted that since then it has been quite as
conspicuous by its absence as it could possibly
have been if il had put in appearance
Most of those who could be suspected OF
knowing anything about the matter have mad
some explanation TO offer, and with the single
exception of Sulzer. who said very solemnly
that it was left out by design and then refused
to add another word. all who have spoken
agree that the omission mere inadvert-
ence. But two men who are deeply concerned
have not responded 70 the universal desire Tor
light David Bennett Hill has strictly held his
peace. and Mr.. Bryan himself. when asked what

said You will have to see Jones about that.
Well Jones has been seen. and his answer Is
that the omission was an unintentional over
sight But somehow the impression sticks that
somebody took uncommonly good care to have
the missing resolution lost in the shuttle and
Mr.. Bryan's singular reticence has much more
significant appearance than Mr.. Joness volu-
bility. do you suppose it was surrepddously
elimnated?" inquired reporter for THE New
York Times on Friday of Mr.. Woodson, mem
Der of the Democratic Committee from Ken
tuclv. in the presence of Ex-Governor Stone of
Missouri.
NO. l would not say that" answered Mr.
Woodson, but the understanding in Kansas
City before the report of the Committee on
"ResoIutions was read was that an income tax
plank was in the report"
Ex-Governor Stone looked at Woodson, Mr.
Woodson eyed Ex-Governor Stone. and the re-
porter said:
Gentlemen. Mr. Bryan is strongly in favor
of an income tax, isn't hep
Il believe he is they Jointly replied. and
walked away to rejoin Senator Jones. who had
requested their presence.
In the mean time. as we have remarked, the
gentleman from Wolfert's Roost says nothing.
Can it be possible that. having failed to con-
vince Mr. Bryan that free silver did not need
separate plank in the platform, be carried away
an income tax concession from that famous and
supposedly fruitless conference?

A CHANCE FOR YOUNG uEy.

The Rough Rider Encampment in Colorado is
already attracting attention among young men
in the East, owing to The Tribune's offer to
send one man out there for year. free of cost
for instruction, equipment and rations Two
weeks in camp in the woods is as much as a
city dweller ordinarily hope for in any
year, and then only in vacation time; and the
pleasures of such outing are apt to fill the
mind for weeks in advance and to linger in the
memory long afterward. But here is a chance
to camp out for year amid the most in
spring scenery the continent and mean
while to receive instruction in riding horses
and in target and other military practice varied
with occasional dash for big game such as
is found only in the West: and all this
without expense to the winner of The Tribune
prize. except for luxuries. The opportunity is
one for which many men now engrossed in ac-
tive business would gladly compete were they
younger and less occupied. 1t is an excellent
chance for some young friend of theirs who
needs perhaps the experience for the sake of his
health, who would like the stirring life of
a camp without the hardships of actual war
fare
year at the enCanpment will make a
man of anybody. The enterprise Is under the
control of a Regular Army officer backed b,,
a Board of Managers of we'll known and re-
sponsible men. Details OF The Tribune's offer
will he found in the page of sports in to-day's
issue, and there is plenty Of time for any one
to enter the contest and win the prize Can
ddates can enter from the States of New
York, Connecticut and New-Jersey. the field
having been broadened since the contest began
in response to earnest solicitation. The prize
will be fairly and honestly awarded without
fear or favor, and all that a candidate has TO
do is To hustle among his friends and get
more Tribune headings than any other COM
petitor. The prize is worth lively effort

THE MFSSAGE FROM H.

The cable dispatch from Ii Hung Chang to
The Tribune, which we published yesterday
morning, was a unique and important con-
uibution TO current news from that part
Of the world which at present commands
the WORLDS greatest interest. 1t was UNIQUE
in being the first and thus far the only direct
message from any high official of the Chinese
Empire to any American newspaper-indeed,
we might say, TO any newspaper in the world
since the outbreak of the present troubles. 1t
was appropriately sent to The Tribune, which
the great Niceroy. in common with men Of light
and leading throughout the world. has long
recognized as the most authoritative medium
through which 10 communicate with the
thoughtful and intelligent masses Of the Ameri-
can people. We may add that il was a cause
of sincere qualification TO us to be able 10 Law
before the public 80 striking and impressive a
message
The Importance of the Viceroys message is
self-evident. The world has grown weary of
conflicting tales from lesser men and Of endless
tattle at second or forty-secOnd hand concern
ing what this Niceroy or that Ta0ta has said
Now for the first time, it gets at first hand an
authoritative md explicit statement from the
foremost man in China. There is no disputing
its origin and MISLEADING it's meaning The
man who for more than q generation was chief
among Inc actual rulers OF emma, and 10 whom
the Imperial Government in its extremity now
turns for salvation, speaks to the point upon
the very subject which, of all connected with
the Chinese Empire, is OF most intense and vital
interest TO the whole civilized world His dec
laration is 10 the effect that the foreign Minis
ters at Peking alive that their safety is
assured. and that the entrance of the allied
forces into Peking is therefore unnecessary
True. be does not declare this upon his own
personal knowledge. He is at Shanghai not at
Peking. But he says that is what is reported
10 him from Picking. As he is in constant com
munication with the Imperial Government. we
must assume il is the source Of his information
As that Government has sent for him 10 come
and serve il ia the highest capacity we must
assume that il is not deceiying him. but is tell
ing him the truth. And, al any rate, ii is 10 be
assumed that he believes the report TO be true
II is not conceivable that If he did not believe
II he would have transmitted il to The Tribune
and 10 the American Nation in such terlns-un-
less, indeed we are to entertain the hideous
suspicion that he is in league with the Chinese
Government 10 deceive the world in the most
fragrant manner
Such credence, therefore, is 10 be given to
Ii Hung Chang's dispatch and is 10 be given
with much satisfaction. 1t is the thing which
the world desires 10 believe true. IL is, too the
thing in whose truth The Tribune has cherished
some belief in even the most ominous hours.
We have never yet credited all the tales Of uni

versal massacre nor wholly despaired Of the
safety of Mr.. Conger and his companions. Nev-
ertheless it seems necessary to say that in one
respect even the unchallenged truth of this mes
sage would leave the situation in an inconclu-
sive and unsatisfactory state. What is wanted
is not merely assurances that the Ministers are
safe but such assurances from the Ministers
themselves. sent freely and promptly to their
respective Governments And with the utmost
possible respect for distinguished CORE
spondent, such assurances and such freedom OF
communication between the Ministers and their
Governments can alone satisfy the just require
ments of this and the other Powers. Until that
is effected il is idle to say the advance upon
Peling is unnecessary. II is necessary In the
highest and most imperative degree.

r HE year just closing has been a
L busy one with ~ Rocky Mountain
Bele Telephone company, and the fig
ures given out tell a story of progress
and development that must be crafty
ing to all friends and stockholders Of
the company, as wen as to the people
in the region in which the work was
done.
The company began the year by in
creasing its capital stock from 81, GOO. 600
to $1,000, 600. and $3.50. 600 worth of the
new stock has been sold during the
year to secure funds with which 10
carry on the improvements and extern
sions of the system. The new work
done during the year, stated in the
briefest possible space, is Is follows:
The number of miles of toll line wire
added during the year., 2.220; number
of miles of toll line poles added, goo:
additional towns connected with the
system by toll lines, 100; additional
towns in which new exchanges were
built-Brigham, Montpelier, Spanish
Fork, HebeT City, C~OalVille. Mt. Pleas
ant, Manti. Rock Springs. Green River,
Rawlins, Evanston. Saratoga, Phillips
burg and Ontario in Oregon: towns in
which new switchboards were substi-
tuted for old Ones-Butte, MissOuia,
Great Falls, Anaconda. BoZeman and
Boise: underground conduit built in
Salt Lake during the year., SOP feet;
cables placed in service, fifty pair of
wires, 1887 feet: 100 pair of wires, 1891
feet: 200 pair of wires, 1886 feet
The above figures give but a faint
idea of the amount Of work done during
the year and the Importance Of it in a
commercial way to Salt Lake. As a
result of h new lines built, very many
thriving communities in the states OF
Utah, Idaho, Montana n Wyoming
have been brought into almost instant
communication with the business CEN
ter of the entire in-termountain region.
Late in the year communication with
Denver was accomplished through the
principal towns of Wyoming, and as a
result of his the people of Salt Lake
now have lOng-distance telephone
communication with the outside world
TO the east.
In the coming year the company will
push the work in all q direc-
lions and strengthen the bonds that
now exist between salt AXE and every
important town in this division of the
nation. One important piece of work
now under way is to the southwest.
This will be pushed during the year as
far as Phoebe. New, and there in n
short time it is hoped to con1ec with a
system from the coast. Another piece
Of work is made up of q of
lines between POcatelIo on the east.
and Boise on the west, the idea being.
to connect the two branches of the
system running north. Still another
piece of work that viii be done is the
opening up of a vast country in Wyo-
ming north Of Cheyenne. These three
pieces of work are mapped out and will
be pushed with all speed whenever the
weather will permit.
