THE INCOME TAX.

From The St Louis Globe Demo rat
The present prospect is that the propo-
sition Income taxi Will fail. During the
Civil War the income tax was submitted
TO because of the fact that the life OF the
government was at stake. Ii needed money
to suppress the rebels, and 1t reached out
In every direction 10 get such money as 1t
could obtain. Soon after the Rebellion was
put down protests against the tax poured
In on Congress so fast that ii repealed the
impost. When the Democrats put an in
come tax rider on their Wilson-Gotman n
tariff law the Supreme Court nullif1ed II
before it was on the books long. Although
there is no partisanship. In strict sense.
in the proposition most of it's friends are
Democrats and most of its enemies are Re-
publicans. 1t ought to be beaten. and very
likely will be.

The Cuban Congress IS said to have
enacted no legislation Of importance
during the session which has just closed
There may be cause for little gratitude
that at any rate it enacted no bad laws.
But In view of the positive need of con-
structive legislation is that republic
do-nothing Congress cannot be regarded
with satisfaction. It was largely through
such policy that the insular government
came 10 grief q few years ago. and it
would not be agreeable to any one con-

"HE greatest and most costly
project ever undertaken by a
railroad either in this or any
other country has just been
completed. Tnis is the vast tunnel
terminal system in New York of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and within Il
few months thousands of travellers
will be enjoying it's advantages and
marveling at its construction.

bankment across FIVE miles Uf sub

blocks in between, eliminates all grade
crossings and electrifies all of its sub
urban lines within q radius of TWEEN
ty-five miles of the central station,
then that corporation has performed a
task that can truly be called marvel

brave fellows whose lives We're stuffed

erect Il monument to them either at
Arlington or a point which will be Sc

The plan Of raising the necessary
money for this memorial is one which
allows even the poorest citizen to par

cOmmendable. A membership fee in
the memorial association is 81, and the
subscriber receives certificate of

may not be the duty of the people to
erect this monument, they should be
gratified that an opportunity is offered
to share in the tribute to the Maine
dead. Rear Admiral Sigsbee is now
the president of the Maine Monument
association, and the matter of erecting
suitable memorial is to be pushed.
The plans for national subscrip-
ton have been perfected with head
quarters for the receipt of contribu-
tons by mail and otherwise in Wash
ington. The work of distributing the
ribbons and obtaining members has
been taken up by women in New York,
Boston, Washington and elsewhere

perfected and the employees trained
to their new work.
Beginning at Harrison, \. j., the
first section of the complete work
encountered Is the embankment and
bridge approach, five miles long, which
carries the tracks across the Hacken-
sack meadows. From the marshy
lowland the surface rises abruptly to
the Bergen hills, and under the west
ward side of this the two tunnels
plunge into the rock. Passing under
West Hoboken and Weehawken, they
run under the North river to the great
terminal station in New York city.
East of this station are four more tun-
nels continuing under Manhattan and
the East river to Long Island City.
Here are great yards for the storage
and making up of trains, and here will
be the headquarters for the train crews
and for the elaborate commissary de-
partment for supplying the dining
cars. In these yards four miles of
passenger cars alone can be stored.

Out of the revival'of the old Maine
matter protrudes still, as ever up to
this time, the question of whether or
not the Maine was blown up malicious
iy by agents working in the interest of
the Spanish government. If it wasn't
blown up in that manner, then its de-
straetion was accidental, due to an I'M
expected explosion In the powder rag
azine. The board OF inquiry which
made an exhaustive examination and
detailed report was Of the opinion that,
inasmucb as the bottom plates Of the
ship were turned inward. the explo-
sion must iave been from without.

Big Creek

Big Creek, October 4 1t seems
that Mr.. Slemp and his oratorical
assistants can find nothing 10 say in
their numerous speeches throughout
the district except denounce the Hon
Henry &. Stuart as a member of the
Constitutional Convention. We see
no reason for this whatever, but that
they are grieving over the loss OF
the dIsfranchised nesIo vote.
We, as white people of Virginia,
and as advocates of education, now
that the educational clause in the
registration" laws of the state, were
entered to dis.ranchise the low class
OF negroes and reduce illiteracy as
far as possible.
Any man, whose political ambi-
tion is not sufficient TO cause him to
devote enough OF his time To learn TO
read and write, and put himself
above the vicious and ignorant,
should be barred from the polls ON
election day be. he Democrat or
Republican.
On no occasion do we Republicans
hear the Republicans advocating the
repeal of the fl fifteenth amendment of
the United States. They freed the
negro; they made him a citizen
they made him voter, and we who
have read American history know
that they claimed the Confederate
States were not and could not get
out of the Union; but as soon as
General Lee was forced TO hand his
sword to General Grant at Appomat-
toX they asid the Confederate states
were out of the Union, and that
they must ratify the 18th, 18th and
18th amendments to the constitution
OF the United States before they
could get back.
The south today can't forget how
the right to rule was taken from her
citizens and given to the African
fiend. This is bIotch that will re.
main in the Republican record as
long as parties shall exist.
We think that the voters OF ths
Ninth district will not hesitate Il
cast their vote for the white anC
poor mans friend, Henry Carte
Stuart.
