A Flight of Birds.

A flight Of birds changed the history
of America under the following circum-
stances: When Columbus sailed west
ward over the unknown Atlantic, he
expected to reach Zipangu Uapan).
After several days sail from Gomera,
one of the Canary islands, he became
uneasy at not discovering Iipangu,
which. according to his reckoning.
should have been PIG nautical miles
more to the east. After long discus
sion he yielded to the opinion of Mar
tin AlonzO Pinzon. the commander OF
the Pinta, and stCered to the south
west. PinZon was guided in his Opin-
ion by flight of parrots toward the
southwest. The effect of this change
in his course curiously cxcmplities the
influence nf apparently trivial events
in the worlds affairs. Had Columbus
kept his original route he would have
entered the gulf stream, reached the
coast Of Florida and then probably
lccn carried to Cape Hatteras and Nir-
gnia The result would probably have
been to give the present United States
Il Roman Catholic Spanish population
Instead of a Protestant English one, a
circumstance of immeasurable impOr-
tance Never" wrote Humboldt, had
the flight of birds more important
consequences 1t may be said to have
determined the first settlements on the
new continent and its distribution be-
tween the Latin and Germanic races
Exchange.

Not According to shakespesre.

A negro amateur dramatic society
was attempting to give n performance
of "Othello." In the scene where Othel-
10 demands handkerchief from Dcs-
demona there was startling Interrupt
ton from one of the audience. When
the time came for the scene. the negro
who was playing the part of Othello
bawled out, "Desdemonie, glib me dat
hankcrchif!'
No reply.
"Desdemonie. say glib me dat ham
kcrchifr'
Still silence.
"Desdemonie, foh de third time, glib
me dat han'kerchif"'
But she wouldn't do it.
Thereupon an old negro among the
spectators, tired OF the apparent slow
hess. spoke up and said, "Ah, wipe yO'

The Income Tax.

\ FroStburg gentleman found serious
fault with the JOURNALS reference four
weeks ago to IAN income tax us the most
equitable of all schemes of taxation"
He does not believe it-this, however,
without apparent ability to state why.
In Tuesdays New York llorId, how
ever, the editor, referring to j. p. Nor
gan's admission of hundred thous-
and dollar personal fortune, and the
London Vars statement, on the other
hand, that his income last year was 40
millions, and this year expected to be
more" says:
The most obvious moral from this incl
dent and the state of facts which it repre-
scnts is that it is time for the State or for the
United States to levy an income tax, as is
done in every civilized government in the
world that maintains Just and scientific
system of taxation.
The income tax argument is grounded
upon at least two incontestable equities:
|, The more income the more lawful
protection the beneficiary of such pro-
lection enjoys, and
,, The more income the more dbiNity
10 pay.
But the people, who are said to rule,
allow the taxing power of the govern
ment to lie turned over to Morgan and
his like to the end that they the people,
have to pay the cost of government, and
pay it out of the nCc' SS0rirS ot Hft.
1t comes to pass, therefore, under the
current system that the rich man pays
no more taxes for the support of gov
ernment than the poor man-only be-
cause on the average he eats and wears
no more.
Yet because Bryan has no financial
SENSE and German no economic virtue,
real statesmanlike proposals have to be
slaughtered quadrennlally by association
in and out of democratic platforms with
something or somebody that kills.

One summer distinguished member
Of the French academy rented cot
tagc in Savoy, and when the time came
for his return to Paris he went to say
farewell to the owner of the cottage,
a prosperous farmers wife.
Il hope you will write your name in
my album before you co." she said
with pleasure" he replied, and,
taking pen, he wrote his name in the
book.
"Thanks," she said, "but won't you
please tell me your profession. so that
l can write it after your name?'
"Oh, put down landowner, he an
swcred.
but that isn't a profession" she
said.
"Well, then, put down 'academi-
cian,'" was his answer.
These words seemed to puzzle her,
and therefore he asked with n smile,
Don't you know what an academician
isf'
"No, not quite" she answered, "but
it's such a long word that the profess
sion must be a splendid one"

GENERAL.
Printing the Truth.

The newspapers of the United States
are neither towards nor liars. Asa rule
they dare tell the truth and express
honest opinions. They are not so much
the slaves as the creditors of public
opinion not so much led as leading
To tell the truth when it ought to be
told does not mean ruin on the con-
tr;iry it means an increase of respect and
friendship and prosperity. To tell the
truth when it ought not to be told is
often the meanest thing a newspaper or
Il person can do. 1t is easily possible
for truth to do more than lie. The
worst habit of the worst newspapers is
hunting up and printing truths that are
not called for by any public interest,"

Banquet HaIls'-Applicd to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad


The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
placed in service, within the past week,
three magnificent new dining cars fresh
from the Pullman shops. They are more
completely equipped than any similar
cars built by this famous company
The kitchens and pantries contain every
perfected culinary device known, and
the dining rooms themselves are as
elaborate and beautiful as it is possible
to make them.
The interior woodwork is mahogany
finished i'll its natural color, which, to-
gether with the green ceilings and terra
Gotta carpeting, lends il most pleasing
effect.
The cars are lighted with both Pintsch
gas and electricity, and are also provided
with electric fans. An exquisite indi-
yidual effect is given each table by cleo
trio c0ndclubrd.
While the china, glassware, linen aud
silver are i'll perfect accord with the sur
roundings, that most important feature,
the mcn"-prepared by one of the best
dining car services III the country
makes travelling ria the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad indeed IL pleasure.
These cars are operated between Chi
cago and Garrett, Pittsburg and Con-
nellsville, Keyser and Brunswick, and ON
Chicago and Cincinnati limited trains.

solemn conclusion" the thing is done

Now We will see W Y Mr.. Warfield,
of Baltimore, uOminanv "Of Howard

journey of Hon. \. p. Gormau's farm,
is 1.-The logical aud str NJ st candidate
that could be selected
His fitness and qualifications for the office
can be- disputed by no one He is Il good
democrat a successful business man and Il
good iinanccr.
When we consider how few "good
democrats, "SUcCcSxfW business men"
and ''Jood tiuancierS'' there are in the
State. Mr.. Warfield resembles the
Sphinx i'll the desert looking south east.
Although the adjective, good" like
the adverb, "carefnlly.' is somewhat
over worked by the D'mocrHf, still
repetition often serves Il better office for
emphasis than italics. I'm this instance,
if Il man be "a good democrat" and IA
good financier,' he fills the bill. The
JOURNAL will go "A step further than the
Dcmocrm and contend that il gentleman
thus good" in two-fold sense is not
merely "a successful business man. but
he is "a successful Christian.
The last however, is best:
:.
any alliance which would he detrimental to
the success of the whole ticket, and that
when elected he would recognize and appoint
to office only those democrats who could
and would acceptably fill the offices to which
they would he appointed.
With the record already given of him,
how could Mr.. Warfeld be "entangledi i'll
any alliance, "etc.? Perish the thought !.
And, when elected" how could he
appoint to office any other than those
who have already p,'orrd that they
could and would acceptably fill the
offices, etc. :: Let any O, her proposition

According to il report in the Easton

crH becomes one of twenty-five demo-
cratic papers who are in favor of Hon.
Edwin Wariield for governor. Such
ulanimity of press preference would be
phenomenal in almost any other State
than Maryland.
And it is phenomenal mere. for next
week the same papers can juSt as read
lily and unanimously favor Hon. Spencer
G. Jones, of Montgomery county, which
is both next and next best to Howard.
In quality Mr.. Jones is not inferior to
Mr.. Wartield, and i'll loyalty to the
Mary land brand of democracy he is
equal to the demands of martyrdom.
In the lesser matters of democratic and
financial goodness and business success
as press ideals of Subernatorial quail
itications he may not parallel Mr.. War

a line just as 'through.'
Wherein he lacks at this moment is

An EASY Puzzle Picture.

Why has negro suffrage failed New
York S"".
In raid near Savannah, Ga, not
long ago, between armed whites and
blacks, the latter outnumbering the
whites, three blacks were killed and
eight seriously wounded. OF the whites
only four We're hurt.
This is the result in nine of ten such
collisions-the blacks nearly always get
much the worst of it.
Herein is probably a suggestion of the
reason why negro suffrage has failed. "
Whether it be 1.-The survival of the
fit, or the unfit, the JOURNAL will leave
