for the result of the shot. This was

Senate, and they want to emphasize this
situation properly for the benefit of the
country For the insurgent Repubil-
cans are gradually breaking with the
President, are constantly showing more
resentment toward his course. and con-
sequently are making good campaign
material for the Democrats. Senator
La Toilette is foremost in these activi-
ties. and in his weekly newspaper has
already criticized the President for
helping Senator Aldrich out of tariff
hole.
The Republican regulars make no
concealment of the fact that they are
favoring the excise tax for the sake or
defeating the income tax The Mace
DOMAIN phalanX was able to carry all
before it in the way of tariff schedules.
But a few Senators had pledged their
constituents to support an income tax,
and no amount of argument could dis
suade them.
In Favor of an Income Tax.
The situation emphasizes the fact
that there is a tremendous sentiment,
even inside the Republican Party of the
United States, for an income tax. 1t is
not easily accounted for. The idea was
originally the properly of the Demo-
cratic Party, and was hooted and de-
rided with great partisan zeal Prob
ably there are two reasons for it. One
is the outcry against the excessive rates
in some tariff schedules. Another prob
ably is resentment at the Supreme
Court for its attitude toward the in
come-tax law which a Democratic Sem
ate and House enacted during the sec
ond Cleveland Administration. The re-
port was widely circulated that one of
Justices of the Supreme Court changed
his mind about the constitutionality of
the tax over night. and. of course. that
has had various interpretations. In any
event the income tax appears to have
grown in popularity during the last IA
years, and there is now a great body of
thinking people who demand its re-
enactment. There is no prospect of its
re-enactment for a number of years,
but the Senate debate this week prom
ises to be the forerunner of popular
issue. and on that account it is likely
to be as important as the debate on any
feature of the pending tariff bill.

A conference over the oyster industry
in che Delaware Bay, insofar as the Della

TO be held in Dover, to consider this, one
Of the most important products OF the
State.
The matter OF interest as it is TO the
people OF Wilmington and Philadelphia,
touches the financial interests Of the en-.
tire State, both temporary and permanent.
for if some plan can be devised to extend
the plant:bearing area for this greatest
food product--a food that gives both
nourishment and pleasure to sick as we'll
as healthy persons-one Of the most inn
portant duties of the new Legislature. to
come into existence this week. will have
been accomplished.
The discovery in recent years that oys-
ters pawn struggle so hard for life that
they 8illswarm upon even an old boot
or gum shoe. and the experience that
here is one product for mans sustenance
that need never fail, commands the matter
most emphatically to the consideration Of
tbe representatives Of the people who will
this year have ample time to look into
this industry and take steps to make it
one of the greatest in the country, with a
possibility Of SO extending the fertile beds
and encouraging the production Of the
celebrated Delaware Bay Salts" that
not only Philadelphia and Wilmington
but the territory Of contiguous States
may be supplied.
The increase Of the production of oys-
ters, as it is now planned, will in con-
sequence mean an increased revenue to

about $500 years ago the drainage Of,
Lake Huron was turned into Lake Erie.

years for the gorge to eat back from
Lake Ontario to the point where the falls
we're situated when the Huron discharge
was added. Five hundred years sitter
that the falls reached the Whirlpool Be-
tween 1000 and 25OO years ago they were

any kind OF metallic lace that isin keeping
with the color Of the lining. Many black
spangled net costumes are worn this sea-
con, but the ornamentation is differently
arranged. The spangles are placed lin
graduated size )one above the other which
gives button-like appearance. An es-
pecial advantage in q black not dress is
that it is useful during the entire year.
