and the consequent shrinkage of the

large growing increase of expenditure
and decrease of receipts from this
source, and yet this money must be
raised"
And so he figures out question of
finding new sources which Twill soon
be burning one to the people, An
income tax, therefore. will be a neces-
sity. Moreover, he ventures to say
that "there is no fairer or more equit-
able tax than that which is levied up
on profits and the gains from business
and inheritances. And there have
been few men on the republican
stump. we apprehend, who have more
vigorously denounced this particular
"communistic" feature of the Bryan
platform than Gen. Grosvenor.
We get no light, however, on the
way Gen. Grosvenor proposes to Sc
cure an income tax despite the Judi
cial decision that such tax is uncon-
stitutional and void. being beyond
the law-making power of congress.
OF course we all know that for hum

the opposite view, but that has been
reversed and the country is now de-
prived of a source of revenue common
to all other countries and unques-
tionably the most equitable tax ever
devised by the wit of man.
The Ohio congressman has two
alternatives before him to secure the
income tax. The supreme court must
be either reconstructed by adding to
its membership more Judges of ascer-
tanned views or the constitution must
be amended to meet the constitutional
objections raised by the ma iority of
the court when it declared the late
income tax void.
Before attempting either, public
apology in sackcloth and ashes is due
from Gen. GrosvenOr because of his
abuse of the democratic party as be-
ing communistic, socialistic and an
archistic in its advocacy of an income
tax.

1t is somewhat in the nature of q
surprise that Congressman Grosvenor,
of Ohio. high in administration circles,
told Cincinnati audience he was ad-
dressing the other night that the ma
ton was forced TO consider an in
come tax as revenue necessity. This
was what the minority justices of the
Uuited States declared would come
about in time, in their opinions dis
senting from the decision of the ma
jority that the income tax was I'M
constitutional and void. The reasons
are obvious. The expenses of govern
ment are increasing at an extraordi-
nary rate and the tariff will not fur
nish the proportion of government
revenues we have had from that
source. This was the position taken
by Senator Aldrich in urging the in
crease of internal taxation in the
tariff debates in the senate. Congress
man Grosvenor says that no great re-
duction can be expected in the army and
navy expenditures of the government,
or in it's other costs; rather an in
crease, while on the other hand
The cheapening of production by

dental results of this growth of trade
abroad has been and will continue to

Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis Fashionable DreSSmaker is Attacked in Bed and Her Skull Fractured With Piano Stool

Robbery, apparently. was not the mo- tive for the crime. for on the table at the foot of the bed. was a small box containing pocket book well filled with greenhacks and other coin. There was a bloody imprint of a hand on the plano lid in the parlor. and d window in that room was open. It Is supposed the assail- ant escaped through this window.
 When found Mrs Dennis was clad in her night garments. end YVES in bed un- der cover. She was partly conscious, al- though she has been unconscious most Of the tiue since. The detectives are sat- isfied shat several blows of the plano stool must have been wielded with con- siderable force, and that there was no outcry. at least audible. Hear grooming. however, were heard by woman of the third floor in the adjoining house. About the same time policemen and a watch man who were two blocks away, heard what they believed to be a woman scream.
 Mrs. Dennis is about 47 years of age. and is offe of the best known women in business here. She Is the widow of Wal ter Dennis, an actor.
 An operation was performed on Mrs. Dennis at the hospital this afternoon. Very little hope is held out for her re- GOV cry.

Washington, December 10.-Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis, a fashionable dressmaSer, was found in an almost dying condition at her room at a. m. today. under cir cumstances that promises to rival the Bonine murder.
 Her skull was fractured; jaw bone broken and left ear almost seIsered iron. her head. Her left arm bore bruises in- dicative of struggle and her clothing and bedding were saturated with blood. She was removed to the Garfield Hos- ptal and a large force of detectives put on the case. The name of her assailant is unknown.
 The general belief is that Mrs Dennis was attacked while asleep In her back room on the first floor. and that the first blow, all probability administered with the piano stool which was smeared with blood, rendered her unconscious.
 The preliminary investigation by the police fails to indicate that there was any struggle. Mrs. Dennis. in a conscious moment. while being carried to the hos pital, said that some one had hurt her. but when pressed for details merely responded never mind"

POLISH CHILDREN ARE SCOURGED TO MAKE THEM
 LEARN GERMAN TONGUE
Prince RadzW Denounces German Method of Offering Prizes to the Teacher Who Can Learn Poles German in the
 Shortest Possible Time BuIow Replies.

Berlin, December 10.-An aged aristo- crat Prince Feruinand Radziwill in whose veins flows the blood of the ancient kings of Poland, spoke of the wrongs of his people in the Reichstag today.
 Prince Radziwill is a cousin of Prince Anton Radziwill, an intimate fAiend of Emperor William, and nephew to that beautiful princess who was loved by the first Emperor, and whom he would have married had not reasons of state re- quired his alliance with one of the ruling houses of Germany
 The recent school scandals" at Wres- chen were brought up by Prince Radzi- will in the form of an Interpolation. Count von Buelow, the imperial chan cellor, declared that the matter pertained to the Prussian diet and that therefore, he must refuse to discuss it in the Reich stag. He could say, however, that the prestige of the empire had not suffered in any way by the attitude of the Wres- chen authorities and the relations with Austria and Russia were entirely unaf- fected.
 '"rhe Poles are moved to the elemental depths of their nature" Prince Radziwill said 'by the altogether unnecessary ac- tion of the Prussian school authorities They could not believe the German people intended to treat the Poles cruelty and unjustly. Nevertheless, prizes are of fered to those German teachers who ob- tain the swiftest results in teaching Polish children the German language. Teachers earning these cash bonuses have used the scourge and have had re- course to brutalities that I believe the imperial government should not approve"
 The speaker said that he wanted to know whether the chancellor of the em- pire favored these methods aimed at the destruction of one of the dearest possess
The age-herald., 1901-12-11

slons of the Polish people-namely. the use of the vernacular.
 As Count Von Buelow replied to Prince Radziwill he did not appear to his us- uai advantage. At his best. von Buelow Is equal oratorically to Senator Chaun- cey M. Depew. After referring to the en- tire correctness of the attitudes of Rus sia and Austria, regarding the Warsaw and Lsmbourg incidents, he said
 T am astonished that the interpellator could suppose for a moment that foreign criticisms could impress us to the slight est degree. Foreign sentiments and dem onstra5ions cannot influence our domestic policy or attitude in any way whatso- ever. My duty to Germany shall be to ad- minister my office in this sense, and in opposition to the danger, the serious dan ger, which threatens our policy from the Poles and in order that the German ele- ment in tlp east be not submerged with the Catholic party, which will take up the Polish cause.
 "As the imperial chancellor and Prus- sian minister concluded von Buelow, T will oppose all efforts to set back the course of history an6 will see that the Germans In the east do not fall beneath the Polish wheels. It is the common pol icy of the powers concerned to act on identical lines against those agitating for the restoration of the independence of Poland"
 Count von Buelow said also that the views of the press in the United States, Great Britain and Holland unanimously condemned the Wreschen occurrences, and described the grit and courage of Polish boys and girls who stood in line without weakening awaiting their turns to be whipped.
 There was a great demand for seats in the galleries during the debate. A big crowd, including hundreGs of Poles gathered outside the building Of the Reichstag while the debate was in pro- gross. large number of policemen were On duty.
