THE INCOME TAX.
Wealth has always seemed to have the upper hand in the making of any laws especially relating to taxation. If any law in which the wealthy were expected to pay somewhere near an equitable share of taxation was about to be enacted, by some move or croak it was changed or so modified before its final passage that the burdens were shifted onto the middle and poorer classes of the people. Senator llill ami the fewrenegades from the party who follow him, make war on the income tax feature of the Wilson bill in the discussion before the Senate. They call it a war measure, unjust in its operati u, etc. yet it is observed that while ridiculing it they never suggest any reasonable plan for forcing people to pay taxes in proportion to their possessions or their income. The Wilson bill proposes a tax on incomes, above or more than 81.1)00 per year. There are thousands of persons in this country with iucomes fri.m Silfi.OOO to cCiO.OOO per year who do not pay as much us the man having an income of from 53.(100 to ?.",0()0. Now is this just, equitable or honorable? Is not the correct plan to bo to make every individual pay in proportion to his worth? To pay taxes at any time, in any amount, is not a pleasant past time. It seems like an outlay ui cash for which there is no visible compensation, yet all must, poor and rich, pay their proportionate share, if the laws are fairly constructed. Vet too often the burdens of taxation are borne by those least able to do so. Au individual having an income above 6-1.000, as contemplated by the Wilson bill, is assuredly more able to pay than the man with an income of SI,000, but does he do it? The man with the larger income has larger inter ests at stake and why should he not pay larger tax bills? We fail to see as yet any reasonable argument against the income tax feature of the Wilson bill. If the government needed the money from income taxes during the war it also needs it now. If it were a just measure then it is also now. If it is oppressive to the individual with 84,000 it is no more so than to the man with 8o00 or SI,000. If there is no law compelling every individual to pay taxes in proportion to his possessions the sooner one is enacted the better. Hill's sentiments on the income tax find a raady response from gold bugs, bond buyers and monopolists, but not from the bone and sinew of any community, not from the producers and the toilers of the land.
THE WATER WORKS PLANT. The general opinion would seem to be that the purchase of the water works plant by the city would bo a wise movement if it could be brought about. Tho plant it is thought can bo purchased at figures between £00,000 and 870,000, or one equally as good can be constructed for that amount of money. The city is obligated to pay the present company the
Bum
of SO.OoS per year for the next
twelve years, or just what the plant would cost. The entire revenue of the company is about 817,300 per year from all sources. If the plant were owned by the city or even by a home company its revenue's could and would be increased frou i: to 20 per cant. over present receipts. The investment by the city or a private home company judged f^pm these figures would be a good one, and such an undertaking may bo brought about.
GOAL MINERS STRIKE.
The greatest strike among laboring men heretofore recorded in labor annals began on Saturday last. Over 100,000 miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, and in other States laid down their tools and stopped work, proposing to remain idle until wages are increased. If it should continue very long it will work disastriously to rail A-ays, manufacturing plants, and thousands of private consumers of coal. Tho contest between labor and capital goes on and increases in intensity of feeling, it would seem, rather than diminish. It is much to be deplored, but no tnan has yet been brought to the front with ideas and brains enough to suggest a sure planfora termination of strikes and a secession of strife between capital and labor. It is time he should appear.
LOST OPPORTUNITY. I The leaders of the democracy at Washington by their uani of jjoou sense ami judicious management in Congress have permitted the oppor!unity to go by for maintaining power that cannot be recovered in years. They wiii hereafter receive the contempt ami curses of the part) for tiieir very plain exhibition of incompetency, and numbers of them should lie forever retired from public life. With a majority in both houses and the executive democratic they have shown themselves to bo completely lost in management of legislation, and are as children tirst turned out from home without kmnving »vhat to do or where to go. Business has been paralyzed, trade kilied and a deathless experienced in all commercial atl'airs uu account ot the damnable asses at Wash ington whom the people were contidenced into placing into positions of trust and usefulness to tie only disappointed. The golden opportunity is gope and when it will again return for ttie party time only can teil, but it will be a long time we fear before it will tell,
It is three months almost since Con-j gress took up the Wilson taritl' reform bill, anil it will be three months more until its work is completed. And then such a bill as it is! Concessions to this or that interest in order to get democrats to vote for it! Democrats, mind you. men selected as such and to carry out party measures and maintain and uphold party tenets! A thorough reorganization of the party for the great campaign of lSOU will be absolutely necessary before the opening of it. The party cannot win again with many of its present managers at the head of it. If eastern ideas of tariff and finance are to control it then its defeat is assured before the fight begins. If the vest through its Senators ai Representatives do not avow themselves more em phaticallv and act with more will and determination than heretofore, defeat is certain to come ab
DOGMAS DOWNED.
A division in the Christian, or what is commonly termed the 'ampbellite church, is imminent. Prof. (iarviu, of Jiutler University. Indianapolis, like Rriggs, of the Presbyterian church, has advanced ideas and does not hesitate to express them regarding the belief, tradictions and tenets of the Christian tienomination. At a meeting in this city last week of the Third District Convention of the church, resolutions charging (iarvin with hetrodoxey and requesting his resignation from tho 1'niversity were passed. Th" orofeFsor. however, has many adher-ni,-. v. !,.i think as he does and will stand by him. lie bases his authority for this upon a number of scriptural quotations, prominent among which are Matt. xxi. :!'J Acts x.\. 21 and Mark i, lo.
All of the students in his department (there being no exception, it is said are adherents of his doctrine, and some of them have already taken tho field against his critics.
The action of Prof, (iarvin only indi cates the advanced thought to be noticed in religious matters and the casting a6ida of many old dogmas that have antl are yet held by thousands of pro essed Christians all over the land. A more liberal sentiment is growing it would seem in tho views held by many church denominations. To the outside pagan or the unbeliever the haggle and quibble among enlightened people often over very small matters of belief in the Bible is a matter of astonishment, and gives an air of doubt to their profes sions. liriggs and (iarvin are oniy two of a vast army i.t advanced tiiinkers all over the uoi' i. ^ideas will prevail and destroy many of the nanow sectarian views of numbers wlio now consider themselves the elect of the Almighty.
THE BA.NK L001ESS
The evidence in the Haughev bank case at 1 ndianapolie as danv produced at the trul now in progress wouiu seem to show that the grand jury made no mistakes whatever in the indictment!-. against tho scoundrels connected with the looted concern. A th'uf in th. night timo cracks a safe and divws from its vault thousands of dollar* am! valuable securities, or more bold in .jett-e Jauies' style coolly walks into a bank and at the muzzle of a n-vnKer compels the oflicors to hand over all the mom-\ in sight. This is bold high handed rob bery. Now there is a difference in Hie system by which «he Collins robbed the Indianapolis National bank, of which Ilaughey was president. Their system waB more refined, more deliberate, more cautiouB, still it was robber}', was swindling, was criminal, and they •hould receive the same punishment as that bestowed upon men of the Jesse James profession. They were thieves and should receive the punishment meted out to thieves.
Thk Brookshire men seem fo be alarmed by the movements of Mr. Lamb of Terre Haute, who, wo think, has been used a great deal to scare Montgomery babes to sleep. Tho next Congressman from this district will bo a republican.— T. II. Express. S
You said ths same thing in the races in which Johnston, Mount and Carpenter, all republicans, were brought out against Brookshire and have lied too often already to have your constituents believe you. Tho trouble seoms to be that the Terro Hauto people cannot relievo themselves of the foolish belief that that town the 8th Indiana dis '.net. It is not. as tliov should learn.
REPU 15LI0.:.iN STATE C0N\ ENTI0N.
Thi republican State convention assembled at Indianapolis Wednesday and nominated a S:aK ticket. It seemed to make up in numbers tor what it kicked in the ability or brains of the candidates chosen. Of eoi.rse in lht platform iidopted the usual balderdash about the beauties of high protection and the need of increased pensions for ex-soldiers were indulged in. The ticket will not be noted for tile strength of the' nominees. as f«w of them had any very distinguished reputation at home for busi-ues-s abilit \. political tact and worthiness for otlicial positions. Montgomery count\ republicans seemed as small potatoes .it the convrntior, as few of them were chosen for the management of the convention.
EVEKYHOIIY and even thing are weary of the dilatory methods of legislation. Wrapped in its own pompousness and insisting on ••comfort." the Senate is awakening disgust, throughout the length ami breadth of the land. Vesterda\ that stanch and radical exponent of democracy, the Chicago Herald, contained this sigt. ilicant editorial: "The dilatory course of both parties and their seeming indMl'civ nee to business and industrial interests are preparing the way for a party with enough sense, enough young blood and enough nerve to act, anU to act consistently, radically antl promptly, as the democratic party did in lSKi-a party of which Representative Tom .Johnson would make a very lively and satisfactory expotent."
THK Journal in its remarks regarding Congressman Brookshire should aim occasionally to tell the truth, or at least a resemblance to it. It stated that during the vote in the House on the new rules forcing a vote by any member present that Brookshire dodged it by purposely absenting hiueelf. This was false, lie was one of a committee of Congressmen appointed to attend the funeral of Senator Vance, of North Carolina, and was away from the city at the time. By the way, does the Journal know of any occasion when Brookshire absented himself purposely to avoid voting on any quest ion bet ore the House?

Bright Spring Days
The spring should be pre-eminently a season of contentment, happiness and hope. In these bright and pleasant mouths the couciry should enjoy its higi.est degree uf tranquility and prosperity. But spring, it is well known, is often a period of discomfort and c!is turbance in the physical Fyst"m.

A dit.or-di-red liver ineiie.s .1 isordi'red jiei ves and a dull and unsteady brain. Anything whici will bring the physical system into harmony with budding Nature confers an enormous benefit upon the nation, besides the mere allaying of physical discomfort. Hood's Sarsaparilladoes this, as thousands of grateful and happy men and women can testify and increased use of this stand spring medicine is of more real practical importance in promoting health atid quiet in the business world that reams of ab stract theorizing.
