A strange story is reported from Brazil, The sheriff has just discovered that th« prisoners in his bastile had arranged about a month ago, to hang one of theii number. Everything had been skillfully planned to saw the last bar in one of the grates that held the prisoners from freedom, Among the oprisoners were three charged With murder and two with trait wrecking. William Houston, charged with larceny, and one of the promoters of the scheme, weakened and told the sheriff what was being done. This greatly incensed the other prisoners. They de-. termined to secure revenge by hanging Houston. They had arranged a strong rope of strips of bed clothing and Intended to commit the deed Monday night, bui Houston bad been sentenced to the penitentiary and had been removed from the jail. All the prisoners were|secureiy locked in separate cells and every precaution will be used to prevent further trouble until sentence is passed upon them. The famous Noah King is said to have been the cbiel promoter of the scheme.

Protection is a great remedy, but it should be taken in homeopathic doses to produce the best effects. Graduation in Income Taxes. Recent Washington dispatches indi cate very clearly that the project of ar income tax is likely to command £ much stronger support, both in the Ways and Means Committee and the House, than has been expected. Properly adjusted, an inborn© tax is an idea Revenue measure. It taxes wealth and not consumption, accumulation instead of industry. The suggestion of Mr. Whiting, o: the. Ways and Means Committee, however, if embodied in law, would seriously impair both the productiveness and the ideal justice of the tax. It is his plan to impose the tax at a fixed percentage upon all incomes ovei $2,000, making the rate no heaviei upon a great than upon a small income. But the graduation of rate is ol the essence of an income tax, a part oi the fundamental idea upon which the tax rests—namely, that men should be taxed according to their ability to pay, A levy of 5 per cent, would mear. two very different things to the mar. | with an income of $2,500 and the mar ; with one of $50,000. To the one its payment would involve some deprival of the ordinary comforts and necessaries of life; to the Other it would not involve even the sacrifice of luxury j but would mean only some small reduction in annual accurnmulatlon. Such a ta.i Would bo grossly unfair as a distribution of public burdens and very unsatisfactory as a source of revenue. An income tax should bear verj lightly upon small incomes and more and more heavily as incomes become larger and better able to bear it. That principle is accepted wherever the income tax is a part ol a scientific system. It is that principle which excepts very small incomes from all taxation; It is right and just and expedient.— New York World.

ABSURD STATEMENTS. SOME THAT ARE MADE BY M’KINLEY IN OHIO. He Wonld Stop Trade and Make Hermits and Barbarians of Us AH—Graduation in Income Taxes — Labor Cost the Only Test. Obstructs Progress. The election in Ohio this year will determine whether or not an idiot asylum should be bfiilt around the Governor simply or If it should extend around the, whole State. The statements made by the tariff Napoleon can pome only from a demagogue, from a fanatic, or from one whose gray matter has gone on a vacation. Take this from his speech at Warren, Ohio; “If I had my way X would not buy one dollar’s worth of goods made in Europe so long as there was an idle man in this country.” It is reported that this remark met with tremendous applause, though whether the crowd took the Major seriously or not is not stated. Now the* Governor does certainly have his own way as to the goods he purchases, and yet he probably not only wears clothes made of English goods but eats English marmalades and jellies, and drinks -French wines from Belgian vessels. His clothes are made from English goods because he had his own way and put a duty on wool • which makes it out of the question for our own- manufacturers to produce goods with a fine finish, and compete* even with 100 per cent, protection, with their British rivals. He eats English preserves because his protective duties on tin plate, glass, and sugar prevent the establishing here of large canning factories to work up the surplus of small fruits, which must therefore be left to decay at the loss of the fruit farmers and of the millions of wage earners who would only too glad, to eat more of such fqod, ii it were cheaper.

Fair, the only surviving son of ex-ben-ator James G. Fair, the legatee to *1,000,000 of his mother’s estate and disinherited of 120,000,000 of his father’s estate, was married, Friday, in St. John’s Church, Oakland, Cal. The ceremony was attended by but five people, the two principals, the minister and two witnesses, and the wedding breakfast consisted of one bottle of beer, divided between the bride and bridegroom. The bride is Maud iNelson, aged twenty-six, five years older than her husband. She is said to be a woman of ' the town. Fair and his bride starred for ’ San- Francisco, Monday night, on a Eu- ; ropean tour. Previous to starting Fair 1 transferred all his property to his wife and made a Will leaving her everything i He possessed. When the train upon which 5 Fair and his bride took passage reached ’ Port Costa a deputy sheriff entered the 1 train and took forcible possession of Pair: and removed him from the train. The bride, who was not disturbed, left the f train of her own accord. The charge on which the young man was arrested was f said to be insanity. He was taken to San-. ® Francisco. . 3 Tolstoi’s new book is_ expected’to* 3 - make a sensation, for it is said hj t o ie who has seen the manuscript;1 that Zola never dared to go to the ‘ lengths of realism to’which Tolstoi g ventures.

The centrifugal force of society is too weak. The result is that the rural districts are impoverished while the cities •are overcrowded. It is the chief object of this congress to promote such changes as will finally result in a well established and permanent return tide of the highest and best mental and moral culture from the cities- to the farms, thus enormously Increasing human prosperity and happiness. We would so change the conditions of farm life that through the world the farmer’s home would be a mors attractive abode than the city tenement. The preliminary work has been done, public attention has been aroused, and a great revolution In the condition and enjoyments of the agricultural classes will now be re gard'ed as assured. The farmer should, generally speaking, be one of the best educated of men. He has such opportunities as few others can command. Why, then, is the farmer not more generally prosperous and happy? It is because he does not mftre fully improve his opportunity. La-bor-saving machines have increased the time at his command, but this additional time has not been used for the best advantage. The remedies for the grievances of the agricultural classes are in their own hands. They can control the destinies of the world if they will. Addresses were then made by S. W. Allerton and others. Then Lady Somerset was presented. The audience greeted herenthuslastically. She said that she brought a greeting from Fraces Willard, who was prevented by Illness from coming. “Tell them,” said Miss Willard, “that a farmer’s daughter sends a farmer’s daughter’s greeting. What I have been able to accomplish for humanity I learned on my father’s farm in Wisconsin ” Lady Henry said the fact that an English land owner should be so heartily received in a gathering of American farmers was the best possible augury for the future. The world was beginning to learn there was somethim? hetta* tw individ-

But suppose the Governor does hot mean it as pure buncombe. and that he really thinks that God made a mistake in not making' an ocean of fire instead of one of water between us and Europe —what is the only logical meaning of such a statement? Is it not that commerce, instead of being the greatest educator and civilizeiymown, while it at the same time enabfes man to supply his wants with less exertion, is a curse to mankind? Is at not saying that there is no article but what we can produce cheaper here than it can be produced abroad, no matter what the advantage of soil or climate? Is it not saying that it is a mistake for us to sell our surplus grain, cotton and meats abroad? Is it not clear that if we do hot purchase goods of foreigners they cannot purchase of us? And if this principle of non-exchange holds good between nations, why not between States, counties and ’individuals? If we are not to take advantage of the opportunities and inventions of other nations, States or individuals, what Will become of our civilization? Without trade or exchange we Will have no use for wagons, cars, boats or ships. Is it the opinion of the Governor of the fourth largest State in this Union that these implements of commerce should be left to decay and our roads and highways allowed to return to the primeval state in which Columbus found them 400 years ago? Would the Major extend his protective system until we are all commercial hermits? Would he then think it wrong for two individuals to exchange ideas so long as each could make an idea of his own? These absu rd conclusions are not only logical deductions from Governor McKinley’s statement, but they are in opinion the inventions Which cheapen production and save human labor are to be feared as we would fear a rattlesnake. At least foreign inventions are extremely dangerous. Thus he stands with both feet on those two mainsprings of civilization and progress — trade and invention—while the populace of Ohio applaud. Is he fooling them? Are they fooling him? Or are they all in the same boat?

Congressman McMUlhi’S Plan. There should be a general revision of the tariff and reduction of duties to a revenue basis. The reduction should be greatest in the necessaries of life, and less on luxuries. So far as may be. raw materials should be made free, that manufacturers may be unhampered in the competition of the world, and goods be supplied at a cheaper cost to our people. The right of the President to impose and remit taxes should be taken away as undemocratic and nn-American. Taxes should be substituted for bounties, it being the object of the Government to impose taxes “for revenue” to carry on government; and not to raise money from one citizen to pay to another to increase his profits. Make the tariff what it should be. When this is done, we can regulate our revenue, as we do now, by our internal revenue taxes. If more money is needed it can be obtained by an increase of the tax on spirits and by such other internal taxes as Congress "may in its discretion impose. Among other feasible means is a legacy tax which never makes its exactions till the party who worked for the money no longer needs it —till one is to got it who never earned it. There is no point where Government can with more propriety make a reasonable exaction for that protection through which alone it could have been accumulated than on large legacies and inheritances. —Benton McMillin, in the ’ North American Review.

The pay per day is wholly immaterial. The labor cost is material. In most of our industries, while the manufacturers pay higher wages per day they get more work for the same amount of money than foreign manufacturers. There are innumerable instances where our manufacturers compete in foreign markets without protection with the pauper labor of the world, and yet where they persistently demand a tariff, in order to produce goods for sale in this country, where they have the advantage of transportation, even if they had ho tariff. —William J. Bryan, in the North American Review.

frorri th6 State of New Jersey, and aftei some delay the Congress of the United States made an appropriation of $30,000, and individual subscriptions to the amount of $15,000 were secured for the proposed monument. The bronze statue of Washington at the top of the shaft was presented by the State of New Yerk, through Legislative appropriation, in view of the fact that the New York troops participated in the battle of Trenton, which engagement probably decided the fate of the country. Thus it is that New 1 York’s two most distinguished citizens,President Cleveland and Governor Flower, were invited to be present at the dedication, and in addition, the West Point cadets were asued to attend, and that fifteen governors and their staffs were asked to be present with the cabinet officers at the ceremonies. The shaft in itself commemorates the battle of Trenton, which occurred after the trying events about New York. Washington is represented as he appeared on the morning of December 23, previous to the famous battle; Ground for the monument was broken Sept. 20,1891. The corner stone was laid with impressive ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 20,1891, the 115th anniversary of the battle of Trenton.

The mystery surrounding the life of 3 . Harvey Coulter reads like a romance. He was born iti Columbus, O. His parents were rich. When fifteen years old his mother died. Shortly afterward his father married again. Harvey was unable to gel along with his step-mother, and one night mysteriously disappeared. His father searched all over the United States for him and spent large sums of money in a vain endeavor to find his wandering son.He died in a few years, broken-hearted, and left a fortune to his two children. He did not forget his son Harvey, bequeathing him real estate worth 8100,000. Harvey went to St. Louis, and there fell in with a wealthy family named Wilson, who adopted him.’ He made his home with them until he was twenty-one, when he married a daughter of the family and embarked in business for himself. He learned the plate-glass trade, and when the big factory was built at Kokomo Harvey was one of the boys to get a good position, When the factory was constructed in Elwood he went there and has resided there ever since. He has an interesting family of four and is quite popular. About one month ago a man from Springfield, O., claimed the fortune, but was proved a fraud and sent to the penitentiary for ten years. Then an effort was made to find Harvey Coulter, and resulted in his being revealed. His identification was complete and he will now step Into his possessions.

DEATH OE LUCY STONE. —bpUtlrusA mid buformei — Passes A way at Boston,, ' ** ' y Lucy Stone, of national and worldwide reputation as an Abolitionist and lecturer, died at Boston, Wednesday night, after a lingering illness. Lucy Stone was born in West Brookfield, Mass., August 13,1818. Her grandfather was a colonel in the Revolution and led 400 men in Shay’s rebellion. Her father was a prosperous farmer. She became a lecturer for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1848, traveling extensively in England, the West, and Canada, speaking also on ■woman’s rights. In 1855 she married Henry B. Blackwell (brother of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell) a merchant of Cincinnati and an Abolitionist, retaining by his consent her own name. A few years later, while living in New Jersey, her property was seized for taxes and she published a

When she had finish c P .»uu g haired mail arose and proposed thoJUayaudience rise as a tribute of respect' add good will to Frances Willard. With a rustle the hundreds in the crowded hall rose to their feet and stood in silence. “This is the greeting,” said President Bonney to Lady Henry, “that you are to take to Saint Frances,” and the audience applauded. Then came the event of the evening, an address by J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture. He said: During the late pertubation in the field of finance and commerce the farmers of this country have suffered less than any other class. In their homes the sheriff has appeared but seldom, Among their farms ao processions of the unemployed have marched. All through the last six months the farmers have furnished fewer failures, less of protested paper anffleast of want ox all the employments of humanity in this great republic. But the American farmer has foes to contend with. The most insidious and destructive foe to the farmer is the professional farmer, the promoter of granges and alliances, who for political purposes farms the farmer. It is true that American farm life is isolated and that in the newer sections there is too little of social pleasure and festivity, but my hope for the future of the farmer is not based on gregariousness. He will not succeed better by forming granges and alliances, which generally seek to attend to some other business than farming, and frequently propose to run railroads and banks, and even propose to establish mew systems of coinage for the Government, than he will by individual investigations of economic questions. Humanity generally, and the farmer particularly, has no enemy equal in efficiency for evil greater than ignorance, therefore each tiller of the soil should investigate for himself various methods of cultivating lands, of producing good crops, and of securing remunerative markets. The one book which I can recommend the farmers for their perusal is Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations.” I would also have, if possible 1 , a daily newspaper from a great city at every fireside. The daily newspaper is an educator because it leads out into full view every morning all the markets of the world; it turns the light upon all the causes of fluctuating markets; it constantly illustrates the truthfulness of that great sentence in political economy; “A market for products Is products in market.” His present condition and his future is assuredly an enviable one compared with that of all other pursuits of the people. Society should let the distribution of property alone. The only proper function of government is the conservation of life, liberty, and property. The home habit and the custom of conserving homes, in short, the love of home and land, is the basis of public tranquility, prosperity and safety. Permanent homes for all the people and as many of those homes in the country as possible are the best ’ instrumentalities for strengthening and perpetuating popular government. There must be a recession from city to rural life in the United States during the decade beginning with 1894, a readjustment, rather reapportionment of population between city and country in the United States is demanded to Insure the safety of the republic. Love of home is primary patriotism, no conspiracies, no anarchy is evolved from the quiet homes of the country, and to them and the sincere love of them the friends of democratic government must look for the preservation and perpetuation of civil liberty in America. While it is true that the poor man is compelled to hump himself to own a bicycle, it isn’t the price alone that "does it. A Trenton boy who swallowed a Bin all key, seems to be little incommoded by it_ except that his breathing makes a singing effect. Musicians would call it a normal sound because the key is in a m\uoT.~-PhilacUlphi& Ledger.

mmi MAHON DEAD. Famous in the Military and Civic History of France. Tuesday t Chateau La Fofet on the Loire, France. He was able to partake of food until Monday. During the night his strength gradually declined and he grew weaker and weaker, until the end came peacefully. The family of the deceased soldier was present at his death. Mario Edone Patrice Maurice de MacMahon, Duke of Magenta, was descended from an old Irish family, which, adhering to the Stuarts, had taken refuge in France. He was born at Sully, near Antun, July 13,1803. His father was a devoted Legitimist, and the patronage of Charles X helped the son to begin a military career. He served with credit in Algeria, and in the Crimean war led the great attack on the Malakoff, twice refusing Marshal Pellissier’s orders to fall back froth a very exposed position. In 1857 he suppressed the dangerous uprising in Algeria, and in 1859 It was his skill and valor that won the day at Magenta, turning defeat into victory. Starting In life as a Legitimist, the future marshal and President gave an outward allegiance, but probably nothing more, to the Orleanist dynasty. After Louis Napoleon declared himself Emperor, MacMahon retained his dislike for Liberalism, and accepted Im perialism as the next best thing to Legitimacy. As he could not have the Bourbons. ue satisfied himself with the Bonapartes. In the war against Germany he was defeated in Alsace, in which he had command, by the Prussians, but he effected a masterly retreat to Nancy. There he took charge of new levies, but the fates were against him. and, being wounded, he resigned his command near Sedan, sharing the fate of the remainder of his comrades in being made a prisoner of war a little later. Returning to France in March, 1871, he led the Versailles array against the Paris communists, and captured the city. He declined the offer of the Vice-Presidency. In May, 1873, he was appointed President by the Assembly on the resignation of M. Thiers, and on the 30th of November following his powers were prolonged for a period of seven years, which would have made his term end in 1880. He resigned in 1879, however and since then has Jived in comparative retirement.

The Consumer Pays It. Under a 50 per cent, duty an article worth-$1 is imported, the 50 per cent, duty added, and the consumer buys it for $1.50, plus expenses and profits. This tax is either paid by the foreigner who sells-to us, or by the consumer in this country, who finally uses the article. If paid by the foreigner, then in the case above referred to the foreigner reduced his price from $1.50 to $1, so that when the duty is paid the price with the tariff will be the same that it would have been without the tariff. To show the absurdity of this position it is not necessary to inquire why the protectionist advocates such a variety of duties (why not treat all foreign nations alike and subject them to equal duties?), but it is sufficient to say that a tariff which is not paid by the consumer is of no benefit to the protected industry. If the producer of the protected article receives the same price for his goods with or without the tariff, what difference does it make to him whether the duties be high or low? If he cannot compete without the aid of a tariff, how can it help him except by enabling him to charge a higher price for his product? How can he charge a higher price unless he can compel the consumer to pay it? And how can he compel the consumer to pay it unless the tariff increases to the consumer the price of the competing article? The only reasonable or logical purpose of the tariff, therefore, is to compel the consumer to buy at home at a high price by preventing a purchase abroad at a lower price. It is here that the principle of protection violates the right of the individual, and its establishment disregards the spirit if not the letter of the Constitution.—William J.

Whitelaw Reid’s idea that the result of election may be mitigated by a petition presented to those who were successful in the polling by those who were beaten, that the whole current ol events may be changed, is a novelty. Perhaps Mr. Whitelaw Reid will next propose that a petition be presented tc Congress asking that Congress reconsider its finding that Mr. Stevenson was elected Vice President of the United States and proceed to declare that Mr. Whitelaw Reid was really the successful person and therefore must now preside in the Senate. Just as effectually as the election oi 1892 disposed of the ambition of Whitelaw Reid for the Vice Presidency it disposed also of the claim, of McKinleyism for further consideration.—Chicago Times. ______ We Still Have Republican Laws. Some of tB.e shallow and callow Republican organs throughout the country keep up the campaign pretense that the business.depression is due to the result of the last election. Are not tariff and other taxes just as high as the Republicans left them? Is not the Treasury still suffering from the Republican deficiency? Is not the gold reserve just about as “Calico Charlie" left it? What has changed except the incumbency of the higher offices and the purpose of the Government in relation to the wrongs and the evils which the people condemned? Too many partisan journals are conducted oil the theory that the people are fools.—New York World. Pick-Pockot Taxation. If it is difficult to defend the principle of transferring one man’s money to another man’s pocket by law, it is equally difficult to defend the policy of such; a system. Whenever a legislative body announces that it has opened up business for that purpose, it is at once besieged by those who seek to use the taxing power for private gain.— William J. Bryan, in the North American Review. A Curious Monument. A curious monument, with a still more curious epitaph, until recently stood in an English churchyard. It was a Mr. Oswald, and consisted of a marble table which he in life used as a dinner table. The epitaph read: “This marble table, sitting at which I have often cultivated good living (propitiated my tutelar genius), I have desired to be placed over me when dead. Stop, traveler, whoever thou art; here thou mayest recline, and if the means are at hand, mayest enjoy this table as I formerly did. If thou doest so in the right and proper way, thou wilt neither desecrate the monument nor offend me. Farewell. Lived 30 years and died November 28, 1726.”

protest against “taxation without representation.” In 1860 Mrs. Stone was instrumental in forming the American Woman Suffrage Association. In the following year she became co-editor in the Woman’s Journal in Boston, and from 1873 to the present time she has been editor-in-chief, with her .husband and daughter as associates, Mrs. Stone again lectured in the West a in behalf of the woman suffrage amendments in 1887-93. She held various offices in the national, State and local woman’s suffrage associations. “Lucy Stone,” said Mrs. Stanton, “first really stirred the Nation’s heart on the subject of woman suffrage.”

Another Indiana town has rebelled against the invasion of a saloon. At Waverly, Jo Moss’s saloon was lifted skyward by dynamite Tuesday nigffip Nobody was hurt. A month ago a light charge was let off under his building, as a hint of what he flrtght expect. The building and contents were badly wrecked by the second discharge. Waverly people say they want no saloons and do not propose to have any. A sad accident occurred in the Blackburn coal near Petersburg. John Willie and Jack Ebesrly had prepared a shot Friday night out it failed to explode. Saturday., thinking the powder was damp, the two miners attempted to drill out the charge, A terrific explosion occurred, which rendered the men both unconscious. Willie was terribly burned and mangled and not live. Eberly had a leg broken, which will have to be amputated. Both married. The proprietors olthe Baniterton woolen mills, ten miles south of Goshen, are glad their institution is too heavy to be easily portable. For the past six weeks portions of the Iargt stock on hand have been missing and the owners turned amateur detectives. On Saturday, Irvin Peffely was arrested whilo calling on his sweetheart. He had in hs possession enough blankets and flannel joods to stock a Government reservation md all of them with the woolen companj/s stock tags. He is now in jail. His stealings ran up into the thousands. A stranger, with ac ell-developed “jag” entered the office of me of our justices of the peace yesterday aid swore out a warrant for the arrest of Vis farm hand, whom he charged with stoning 350 bushels of potatoes.

McKinley’s Protection Panacea. “What has protection done for us? It has made the youngest country in the world the greatest of them all; and yet they call it robbery,” says Gov. McKinley in a burst of exultation. Why not, Major? Hasn’t protection made us rich and great by taxing' the foreigner, and isn’t it robbery to take the property of another without giving something in exchange? But if protection has not made us great by brigandage and piracy, how has it done so —for certainly we are great? Hasn’t it made us great by hot taking it; that is, by taking less of it than is taken by any other country? Suppose we had high tariff walls between every State like those between every little”country of Europe; would we have attained our present greatness? In no other part of the world is so much trade carried on without tariff restrictions as in this country. We may he thankful that our forefathers decided to abolish forever the “protection” of one State from another by tariffs. Look what protection has done for Australia! Until a few years ago that young continent was making great progress. The protection mania struck it. Each colony was going to become Independent and got rich without the

WILL END OCTOBER 31. Th® World’s Fair Cannot Be Continued Through November. Thei'e will be neither a world’s fair nor an American fair in Jackson Park next summer. The exposition will not be prolonged another year. All doubt was settled about it at a meeting between the members of the demolition committee of the exposition and the South Park board of commissioners. They agreed that the fair should officially end October 30. The members of the South Park board announced that they would insist upon the exposition company carrying out the terms of the ordinance. These are that the park commissioners take charge of the grounds Jan. 1, 1894. The directors are given until May l of the same year to clear off the State and foreign buildings in the north end of the park and until May 1, 1S95, to remove the main structures on the south end of the grounds. The art gallery is the only structure likely to be left intact, and no decision as to this has been reached. Mr. Gladstone is one of the greatest opponents to divorce in the En-glish-speaking world. He believes that marriage is a contract for life, which only expires when life itself expires.

NEW TRIAL FOR REV. PETTIT. The Supreme Couift Grant# the Petition— Death of Pettit. A new trial was granted to*' Rev. William Pettit, who was sent to the prison north on the charge of murder, by the Supreme Court, Thursday. Warden French has been directed to give him into the custody of the sheriff of Montgomery county. The decision was by Judge Hackney, who has spent several weeks in going over the records. The decision of the lower court was reversed on the basis that it erred in refusing to continue the case on account of the absence of witnesses. In the lower court Pettit endeavored to introduce testimony which he said would show his innocence. The court refused to admit the testimony which the Supreme Court held was proper. The appeal to the Supreme Court was taken as soon as Pettit had entered the northern prison. Since he began to serve his sentence he has been at work in one of the factories, but prison confinement did not agree with him, and he contracted hasty consumption. The decision came too late for Pettit, as a telegram was received at the Governor’s office at about the same time the opinion was sent down to the clerk’s office, that Pettit had died In the pirfsoa hospital, Thursday morning.
