FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY
  in and for time ~asp pubHsh n edition

In the absence of any explanation from the assissin of the cause of his act it is generally understood to be attributable to pamphlets which have been circulated about the city at tacking Mayor Kalloch. the father of De Youngs slayer.
 The administra ton of Mayor Kal- loch had been a stormy one. It had been vigorously attacked by the Chron- icle and by various bodies of citizens which had threatened impeachment proceedings. There was supposed to exist a sympathy between the admin istration and the notorious Dennis Kearney and the sand -lotters." Tn m encounter some time before this ene elder Kalloch himself had been shot and seriously wounded.
 The path of the journalist in south ern Arizona does not always appear to be smooth. MT. Brown of the Citizen of Tucson recently had an attack made upon him by one of the attorneys of the Ancient and Honorable Pueblo. The parties were separated by mutual friends and the affair has not termin ated in coffee and pistols for two as yet.
 Last Saturday afternoon wlnd storm came up at Tempe. The wind blew with such violence that the sad dle was blown off of MT. Bentons 8 horse to the wonder and amusement of bystanders. The wind was fol- lowed by an hour or so of rain

The Searchlight
The Mysterious Southiaw

What makes some persons left handed? The question has been ex- tensively investigated by Arthur l.. Reeley, an anthropologist- He finds that various scientists have estimated the proportion of left handed persons as being from two to six per cent Of the whole population. Dozens of req sons have been suggested why most persons are ght-handed- It has been pointed out that primitive man always carried his shield in his left hand. thus protecting his heart. and his weapon in his right Tn this way. it is argued. the whole race got used to using its right hand most actively. This would not seem to account for the women. however. It has also been suggested that the way babies are carried on he right arm of the mother usually restricts the use of their own left arms. It has also been claimed that the part of the brain which controls the blood supply of the right hand gets better blood supply than that which controls the left. A left-handed person. ac- cording to this theory, would simply be one in whom this condition hap pened to be reversed. A number of other reasons have been suggested but none of them proved. It remains a uys tery why most of us are right handed and still more of q mystery why
 few of us. are left-handcd-

CLEVELAND, April 24-Those who hope to escape one of the worst pinches of Hi Cost through the wearing Of denim will find that overall prices like all other prices, are subject to the up- ward trend, according to Cleveland manufacturers and jobbers.
 They say there is an acute shortage of blue denim.
 The demand for blue denim has been for some time ahead of the suv4 ply said J. H. Levi, Cleveland overall manufacturer. ''Other colors of a sim liar cloth are plentiful. Khaki and striped stock can be obtained without so much trouble.
 ''One effect of the overall movement will be to increase the retail price or such garments, naturally. But l do not think that the price will increase more than a dollar a suit. The cheap est two piece now costs $4. 50 at retail

APRIL 24, 1880 Murder of Charles De Young

SAN FRANCISCO. April 24.-Just before s o'clock last evening Charles De Young entered the business office or the Chronicle at the corner of Kears ney and Bush streets and stood talking with some gentlemen, leaning against the counter. Almost immediately the door opened and I. NJ. Kalloch entered and drawing a pistol, and without say ing a word, began firing at De Young. The latter ran through the door of the counter to his desk, Kalloch firing at him as he ran. On reaching his desk De Young turned to face his opponent with a pistol in his hand when Kalloch leaning over the counter fired again the ball striking De Young in the mouth.
 Kalloch then started for the door. De Young raised his pistol as if about to fire but his strength failing him and sinking backward. he fell to the floor. Bystanders went to his assist ance but the ball had evidently pierced the base of the brain and in a few minutes he expired. As Kalfoch went out of the door he was seized by q citizen and at the same time an of ficer came up and took him to the city prison where he was locked up.

An Iniqui.ous Form of Taxation

We're all in favor soldier relief. The United states is the only country which engaged in the war able to do something for it's soldiers that has not done talked loftily about it until the bovs came back. We compromised by giving them a ESQ bonus which alike to the fearless, swivel chair-worn Warriors in Washington. There was no special relief favor of the boys who were in the trenches We great soldier settlement plans but none of carried out They are hardly any longer in contemplation.
 Now we have thought of something else. It IS ,,roposed to levy soldier relief legisa- ton That is for purchases graduated stamp taxes must putting the burden upon the buyer not according to ability to pay but according to his needs--the most iniqutous form of taxation.
 It is that form that the worst feature of nrotective tariff system where it is unavoidable But sureIv we can avoid it by adopting of many other plans for raising money soldier relief legs- ,ation for which it is billion and half dollars will required
 Three other forms of taxation have been pro- osed-a tax on stock exchange transactions equaling half the brokers commission; additional sur tax on incomes in of 5000 and increase of 15 ner cent on the existing tobacco and cigars

There are. though. ,icles which are purely luxuries; with which people may dispense without hardship Though many cti- zens would additional hardship to pay this tax if they afford the articles themselves, they should be mulcted additional
 But a straight. horizontal impartial tax would be as rniust a tax as could be conceived any levied without regard to the comparative ability of those upon whom it is levied. to pay.
