HS RAOOMX TAX.

In view of the foot that the preeent Congress will probably endeavor to en•ot an inoome tax law as a means of raising revenues the subject beoomee one of practical interest to the people.

The first inoome tax was passed by Congress July 1, 1862, as a purely war measure, and took effect in 1863. Under the provisions all inoomes over 8600 and less than $10,000 were taxed at the rate of 8 per oent., and all over $10,000 the rate was 5 per oent. That tax produced in 1864 $20,294,733, inoluding the tax on dividends and on interest on United States securities.

In 1865 the rate was ohanged to a 5 per oent. rate on incomes over $600 Rod less than $5,000, and 10 per cent, on all over $5,000. Under this rate the reve nue from inoomes reached its highest figures, being, as we have already said, $73,000,000, and in the following year it was $66,000,000.

In 1867 the law was further amended by raising the exemption to $1,000, and fixing a uniform rate of 5 per oent. on all incomes in excess of that amount. Under that law the collections in 1868 were $41,455,599, in 1869 $34,791,857, and in 1870 $37,775,882.

The law of 1867 limited the operation of the law to 1870, but in July of the latter year it was extended for one year at the uniform rate of 2 per cent, on all inoomes in excess of 82,000, with some further exemption for house rent.

That tax, like all other taxes, was im menselv popular with those who had nothing to pay and very unpopular with those who paid it, and the same thing will follow the passage of a similar measure in the future.

Hon. Henry U. Johhson, who repre seats the old "Burnt District," has introduced a resolution in the House which will strike all fair minded men as being both jnst and right. It provides that before any pensioner's name is dropped from the rolls, or before any application for a pension shall be defeated by written charges from any source, the pensioner or the applicant shall, before such charges are investigated^ be furniehed a copy of the same, together with the name of the person or persons making them, and he shall be given an opportunity to be heard in his own defense thereon. On Mr. Johnson asking unanimous consent for its consideration by the House, Mr. Martin of the Elev enth Indiana district, chairman of the oommittee on invalid pensions, objeoted and it was referred to his oommittee without reading, where it will be al lowed to remain buried. So the pensioner iB denied that which Is aooorded the lowest criminal in the land. Under this administration the pensioner has.no rights that Hoke Smith is bound to respect.

How cas the present business trou bles be charged to the operation of the silver law when Secretary Carlisle has practically nullified the law by refusing to purchase silver at the market prioee? The law requires the purchase of 1,500,' 000 ounces of silver per month, bat the Secretary has, during the last three months, interpreted the law to mean that he had the option of buyinirjor not, as he chooses. So instead of purchasing 18,500,000 ounoee of silver in July, August and September, but) a little more than 7,000,000 ounoes were purchased. How unfair then to ascribe the present deplorable condition of the country to the silver law when the law is no longer in operation. The silver law should not be blamed for ills it did not cause.

The silver Democrats in the Senate have backed down, and the end of the long struggle is near at hand. A vote will be taken some time this week and the bill to repeal the purchasing olause of the Sherman sot will be passed. The result is a oomplete victory for the Pres ident for whioh he is indebted to the Republican Senators more than to the Senators calling themselves Demooratio. The bill after it passes the Senate will be sent to the House where of course it will be endorsed. After repeal, what?

The Baldwin Locomotive Works at Philadelphia on Saturday again reduced its forcee in all departments. Unless there is a marked improyement in business there is a likelihood of a oomplete shut down. Last year at this time 5,890 men were employed on double time. Now but 2,480 are employed on half time.

An ounoe of olosure would be better than pounds of oomprotnise in the adjustment of the present snarl at Washington.

Mean man's completeness. mty\n effect as suro As roundness in tho ile«dnJ- lhat great faith Is but the rushing and expanding «trcara Of thought, of feeling, fed by nil the past, Our finest hope is flucM memory. As they who love In iw think youth is blest Because it lias a life to nil with love.

Full

It oomes when music stirs us, and tho chords. Moving on some grand climax, shake our souls With ititlux new that makes new energies. It oomes in swelling of the heart and tear*. That rise at noole and at gentle deeds--At labors of the master artist's hand. Which, trembling, touches to a finer end, Trembling before an image seen within. It oomes in moments of heroic love, Unjealous Joy In Joy not maile for us— In oonselous triumph of the good within. Making us worship goodness that rebukes. Even our failures are a prophecy. Even our yearnings and our hitter tears After that fair and true we cannot grasp. As patriots who seem to die in vain Make liberty more sacred by their pangs. —George Eliot.

DUELING IS NO JOKE.

Klfhty Per Cent, of Duels In Europe Uf •alt In CMualtle*. It is a groat mistake to imagine that casualties are the exception to European meeting's on the field of honor, says the St. Louis Republic. On the contrary, they constitute the rule, their average amounting- to as high as 80 per cent, of the duels fought in Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium. Holland and Spain, while in France the average Is only about 0 per cent. There were 4,000 duels fought during the year 1890, In which 700 men were killed outright, 1,000 sustained dangerous wounds whioh in many cases resulted fatally, while no loss than 4,800 of the remaining combatants received minor injuries. That is to say, out of 6,000 principals in 4,000 duels only 1,400 escaped without harm. The average is nearly identical in the other countries above named. From this It will be seen, except, perhaps, in France, the chancesof escaping scatheless from a duel are relatively very small.

Another disagreeable consideration of the "affair of honor" is the knowledge that, instead of getting hurt or killed yourself, you may have the misfortune to inflict a mortal wound upon your adversary, in which case the tribunals of the country will generally sentence you to a term of several months' imprisonment and to pay heavy damages to the relatives of the dead man.

A SURPRISED HUSBAND.

He Comes Home In Time to Join In Celebrating: His Wife's First Weddiof. When 1 returned from my latest trip, says a drummer, I went home at something after nine o'clock in the evening. There was my house lighted up from top story to basement: carriages were leaving the door, and affairs seemed to be going on inside on a grand scale. I let myself into the basement with a latoh key and walked into the diningroom. Strains of music came from the back part of the hall, and the mingled laughter and conversations indicated a host of guests.

Presently my wife came into the dining-room dressed like a princess she ran up to me, saying: "Oh, Jack! I'm so glad you've come home early." "So'm I," said I "what's the racket —surprise party?" "Surprise party?" said she, with a pout "no, indeed, it's the anniversary of my weddiiig." "Tilda," said 1, "you're off you're way off. Tliis is the month of March —it was in the summer we were married 1"

She serenely replied: "I know that very well this is the anniversary of my first marriage. Go put on your dress suit, dear."

Slavery In Slam.

Slavery has been abolished in Siam in name, says a writer in the Contemporary Review, but it can never be abolished in fact, for the slaves have no means of supporting thrmselves outside their masters' houses. Every member of the Siamese upper classes can fetter his servants or throw them into prison without any kind of trial or permission being necessary. One morning I went to call upon one of the ablest and most enlightened of the ministers a man who has been to Europe, and who once actually got into serious trouble for trying to inaugurate a sort of woman's rights movement in Siam. I made my way by mistake into a part of his grounds where visitors were not expected! and I fcrand a Blare fastened down to the ground in an ingenious kind of pillory, in which he could not move hand or foot, while another slave tortured him with severe strokes of a bamboo rod at the word of a member of the family, in order to force him to confess to some misdeed.

I have not used all of one bottle yet. 1 suffered from catarrh lor twelve years, experiencing the' nauseating dropping in the tbroat peculiar to that disease, and nttse bleed almost daily. I tried various remedies without benefit until last April when 1 saw Ely's Cream Balm advertised in the Boston Budget, I procured a bottle, and since the first day's use have had no more bleeding—tbe soreness is entirely

The Merriest Girl Tnat'a Out. "'Bonnie sweet Bessie, the maid of Dundee," was, no doubt, the kind a girl to ask, "What are the wild waves saying)" or to put "a little faded flower" in your button hole, she was so fnll of vivacity, and beaming witn robust health. Every girl in the land can be just as full of life. Just as well, and just as merry as she, since Dr. Pierce, has placed his "Favorite Prescription" within the reuch of all.

Headache and lyspepsia. William E. Rockwell, No. 512 west 57th street, New York, says: "1 have been a martyr to bilious headache and dyspepsia. Any indisoretien in diet, overfatigue or cold, brings on a fit of indigestion, followed by a headache lasting two or three days at a time. I th:i.k I must have tried-over twenty different remedies, which were recommended as certain cures by loving friends, but it was no use. At last I thought 1 would take a simple course of purgation with Brandreth's Pills. For the first week I took two pills a night, then one pill for thirty nights in that time I gained three pounds In weight, and never had an ache or a pain since."

Disease in one part of the body will eventually fill the whole body with disease. Every vear or two some part of tho system grows weak and begins to decay. Such part should be removed at once, and new matter be allowed to take its place. There's no need of cutting it out with a surgeon's scalpel. Purge away the old, diseased and wornout parts with Brandreth's Pills.
