OUR lawmakers seem to prefer to
place the tax upon the things the peo-
pie eat and wear and use every day, in
steadof upon the incomes OF the wealthy,
who at present are taxed less according
to their ability to pay than is the labor
er who earns from 81. to $500 a day.
Such procedures as this serve only TO
shrivel what friendship and good will
might exist between the rich and the

Josiah Carter Tells SHOzV WafsOm

In his Marietta (Ga.) paper, (The Journal
and Comier,) Mr.. Josiah Carter, Sometime
Private Secretary to his Excellency, Govern
or H. Smith) makes clean breast of it: con
Tossing that [ was ''beaten' for Congress by
criminal methods which would have made
Tammany blush.
Says Josiah
'The Democrats of the Tenth district having
been deserted by Mr.. Watson made up their
minds to beat him. They did not mean that they
were going to beat him fairly. They meant they
were going to beat him. There some things
done that not according to law. They happen
sometimes in Georgia. This was an occasion
when the whole subject was summed up in the
statement that Mr. Watson was not going to
Washington any more. The stufing of the ballot
box was the mldest of the propositions consid-
cred They voted the cemeteries, and the city d.
rectories, and the telephone lists signboards
mile-posts cats dogs, anything and everything
that happened to be handy from that day to
this Mr.. Watson has been in bad humor with

The Tenth Congressional District, at the
time of my election in 1890, was composed of
ten country counties, and one city county. I

majorities. Even the rural districts of Rich

Now, Josiah, [ consider you fair minded

where Tom has got this view of affairs We were not
heretofore informed of the fact that Mr. Watson's
daily associations and alliances among those peo-
pie who, having felt the halter draw, had not very
high opinion of the law. The only reason have for
thinking that Tom has been in such bad company,
even worse than when he associated with Bryan, is
from this announcement of his discovery concerning
the attitude of the people he trains with, toward
courts and laws.
Thomas E. Watson seems to be a very foolish
Cracker; and as the strands of gray run among the
golden locks that adorned his head in old days he does
not seem to acquire wisdom fast he does years."

geles Times.

Judge Augustus Fite, of the Superior

Court of the State of Georgia-had sent a
white man, (of the hire to- a-nigger sort,)

refused to answer legal questions.
While the man was in jail for contempt of

where it had no lawful Jurisdiction, and
forclbly snatched the prisoner from the GUS

HE MAKES A STATEMENT.
Grand JUNCTION. Colo. JIM

Grand Junction, Colo, June 20.
Mr.. Hall Harrison, general agent
for Colorado, who is assisting Mr. F.
A. Hornbeck, land commissioner OF
the Kansas City, Mexico e Orient
railroad. in the sale of Pecos valley
land. has recently made a statement
in our office in regard to everyone
who has ever considered the lower
Pecos valley either from a standpoint
of an investor, or with the idea OF
going there TO live.
Mr.. Harrison said in part that UP
to short time ago. he had always
been able to say that of the many
men from Colorado whom he had
taken down to the Pecos valley, only
one man had returned without in
vesting in the land Recently he
sold Mr. II. II. Dresser. of Montrose
Colorado, forty acres, and this sale
now enables him to say that up to the
present time every Colorado man
that has gone down into Texas with
him has purchased land in the Pecos
valley, Mr.. Dresser being the one
man who had previously returned
without buying.
1t is only fair to say that when Mr.
Dresser went to Texas, he intended
going South as far as the City OF
Mexico, and went through the Pecos
valley simply because he found it
convenient to do so. After returning
he expressed himself as being much
impressed with some of the land he
saw in Southern Mexico. He did not
purchase any down there. and when
Mr.. Harrison was in Montrose recent
ly, Mr.. Dresser bought forty acres
of land adjoining that which the men
from Colorado had bought.
We think this statement from Mr.
Harrison of having sold every man
whom he has taken down from this
state into the lower Pecos valley will
be read with a great deal of interest
by many people in this locality, mad
certainly il is a wonderful record

WON'T SELL FOR $4,000.

Now comes. however, Trenton
couple who have refused to sell the
latest acquisition to their family for
$4,000. a refusal to which they
added emphasis by saying that not
ten times ten thousand dollars would
buy the babe. The infant in ques-
tion is the thirteenth child in the
family and the first girl. and was
born on June 10. Presumably the
circumstances of its birth possess
certain attributes which enhance its
pecuniary value. but what peculiar
virtue lies in the unusual natal en-
vironment of the child to make peo-
pie willing TO pay $4,000 for it and
its parents unwilling to part with ii
for 100000 does not appear. The
problem is perpleXing. One would
think that values would decrease as
the supply increased. but that none
of the other children has been quoted
at fancy figure contradicts the
theory.
And there you are. In Colorado
the value of the life of a full-grown
man is only $1,000 In Trenton, n.
j.. girl baby two weeks old is
quoted by her parents at one hundred
thousand plus, with ten thousand
bid. The only other data to be had
are furnished by the counts and
dukes and whatnot who vow that
they would give even lie itself for
this or that fair Yankee heiress. On
an even exchange basis that puts the
foreigners i'm the multimillionaire
class when IT comes to figuring how
much their lives are worth. This
reductio ad absurdum indicates very
clearly that the question is unans-
werable. The value of a human life
is therefore merely matter of spec
ulation--witness the insurance busi-
ness.-Colorado Springs Gazette.
