WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1893.

LOOK ODT FOB SQUALLS AND STORMS. It is said .lint President Cleveland has decided on four points in his message to Congress, which indicate the policy of his administration. They are: First An income tax. Second—Repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State bank issues. Third—Eepeal of the Sherman act. Fourth—Modification of the tariff act. The present uncertainty as to what will be the terms of the new tariff has the tendency to decrease the importations. No importer will import goods at the present rate of duties when there is a strong probability that ere long there will be a material decrease of duties, consequently the revenues of the government aie constantly decreasing, nor will they increase sufficiently when importations are resumed under the new rates of duty to meet the expenses of tl government. Eastern and many Southern Democrats, particularly those from the sugar producing States, favor a tax on sugar. The Western Democrats oppose the sugar tax as well as a tax on tea or coffee. Nearly all favor an increase of thg tax on whisky. Southern and Western Democrats favor an income tax, but most of the Eastern Democrats oppose it. Only the general recommendation of the establishment of an income tax will be made by the President. Details will be left to Congress. Whether there shall be a tax on incomes of $2,000 and over, or whether the tax shall begin at only SI,000 are details which Mr. Cleveland hi»s not considered. In his messsge Mr. Cleveland will advocate ths necessity and the practicability of the tax, leaving all thi rest to Congress. His recommendation of the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on the State bank3 will be made for essentially the same reason that brought the repeal plank into the Chicago platform as a sop to the Southern members in order to bring them to conciliatory frame OL mind. In regard to free silver, Mr. Cleveland recognizes that the repeal of the Sherman act can only be brought about by concessions, and the repeal of the State bank tax is one of the concessions he offers to the

Southerners. Look out for a stormy time in Congress.

THE failures ia two weeks have been 504 in the United States, against 319 last year. Mr. Cleveland thinks the cause of our financial troubles is the Sherojas act but the country was never more prosperous than under the same act just before his election. Western Democrats think it is the refusal to coin silver, but last year with bullion purchased and no silver coined, was the most prosperous ever known. The real cause lies in the uncertainty of what the policy of the Administration will be both as to finances and the tariff Capital is carrying as little sail as possible. Orders have been curtailed and purchases restricted, And this state of things will continue until the President and Congress get together and find out what they want and what they are intending to do. The fact iB the President. and his Cabinet are in deep water and don't know how to swim.

AGENTS for eastern woolen mills announce a large number of given orders, to close out their goods and prepare for an indefinite suspension oi work. The mill men see ahead of them the adoption of a national policy which proposes to stop looms, and close furnaces and factories,'in order that somebody may buy things at lower cost. Ia it lower cost, if th nation pays the happinese of homes, by the thousand, besides the money it sends abroad for goods?

GRESHAM growled about the expenses of the Pans Arbitration Commission, but when a Chicago hotel sent in a bill for $2,GOO for entertaining a Spanish duke four or five days he paid it without a kick. Royalty comes high but we must have it.

EX-SECRETARY WHITNEY, who did more than, any other man to give Mr. Cleveland the nomination for President, has not been near the White House since the new administration began, and he and tho President no longer speak as they pass by.

Divorce from a MOCK Marriage.

WARSAW. Ind., May 24.—The foolhardy practice of mock marriages has been illustrated in this city. A marriage contract signed in fun appeai-s likely to cause much trouble and embarrassment to Ciianncey Ilawkins and Miss Lulu De May, two of Warsaw's most prominent young society people. At a large party in an aristocratic mansion the parties named signed a contract drawn up by a young lawyer, who unwittingly made the contract a valid marriage. Both parties to it insist that they only signed in fun and had no idea that they were being really married. Hut the law takes no account of inadvertence and the contract will hold good until it is dissolved by legal process. Consequently suit for divorce has been instituted by the young lady.

To My Wife.

Here, then, today, with faith as sure, With ardor as intenso and pure, As when amidst tho rite6 divine I took thy t~oth and plighted mine, To thee, dear love, my secoud ring, A token and a pledge I bring. With this I wed, till death us part. Thy riper rirtues to my heart— These virtues which, before untried, Tho wife has added to the bride— These virtues whose progressive claim. Endearing wedlock's very name, My soul enjoys, my heart approves For conscicnce' sake as well as love's.

For why? They teach me, hour by hour, Honor's high thought, affection's power. Discretion's deed, sound Judgment's sentence, And teach me all things—but repentance. —Samuel Bishop.

To a Long Faced Query.

IH hang deep crapc on the door of my heart For the time, if you'll have it so, And wrap miles oi band round the cap and bells

Until ev'ry inch spells woe. Our converse will smack of tho funeral vault And the graveyard's grisly store. And Pll make myself, in a solemn way,

A most infernal bore.

But where's the use? It's a queer old world. With not too much Joy at the best. And there's never a heart, if it is a heart,

That's tho worse for & timely jest. Let the last day come ere it's sin to sing Or to Joke's a capital qrime. As for me, I'd rather live shaking wuh fun

Than with ague any time. —Philadelphia Times.
