EQUAL TAXATION
IIow to force every man to pay tax in proportion to the amount of property owned by him has been a question difficult toBolvo by the ablest legislators of the laud The ingenuity aroused to evade paying a just portion of taxation has always been as active, as eafnest, and as determined as tbat of the opposite. The
worth 81,000 should pay
ten titties as much as the man worth 6100, is a problem needing no demonstration, yet does he do it always? W all know thousands of instances where taxation is dodged, where it is not just and equitable, where the poor man or man in middle class has been com pi-lled to pay more than his just share. IIow to equalize the thing is the question. Who believes that the millionaires of this country pay their just share of taxation? It is doubtful if there is one in one hundred tnat pays what he should. Tliev have certain systems for dodging it in many instances, and again the law is frequently constructed in their interest by a venal legislature. We can see what the country is drifting to through such actions. It is no wonder that
Coxev armies are being formed all over the country, and a spirit of unrest and discontent abounds. Who is diesatistied with the income tax feature of the proposed taritf reform bill? Why the wealthy who have heretofore been enabled to dodge so much of their just share of taxation. Is there any one so foolish as to believe that, generally speaking, the millionaire pays in proportion to his possessions the same as the mail worth 610,000. No. but why should he not? The income tax is the only plan yet devised to force many persons to pay what they justly owe. If anyone can bring forward ansthing better to tit the case he should have a hearing. There, is too much inequality in the matter of taxation this country. Tin middle and poorer classes have had entirely too much of the burdens to bear, Lot the income tax feature of the taritf bill remain, lfincome tax was just, twenty-live years ago it is to-day. 11'the government needed the money then from that source it surely does now.
A'HE A. F. A'~IU POLITICS.'
There is no patriotism in ostracising a certain class of voters because they are members of a certain church. The constitution and laws of this country are not based on such narrow, bigoted and sectarian grounds. A candidate nominated as an A. 1'. A. little understands the spirit of our laws, but would prevent any member of the Catholic church from holding any oflice. It matters not that some of the foremost scholars, legislators, military men, etc., of the eoun try have been Catholics they must not, according to the doctrines of the A. P. A., be allowed to hold any civil position of trust or profit through the votes of the people. If Patrick Henry, whose eloquence r,tired the hearts of the American people over 100 years ago, were living to-day this rule would retire him to private life. If tho gallan Phil Sheridan, whose valor on many lields of battle in the late civil war won for him an immortal name and the plaudits of the American people, were alive today and sought civil position, he would be promptly bounced if the A. P. A. had the power, and so it would be clear on through no matter how worthy the applicant, if he were a Catholic. The A. !'. A. is the hand maid of the republican party. Investigation will show that it is encouraged by that party, and that its leaders i:i lost instances are, or have been republicans. Its existence is but temporary ami after the elections this fall little will be heard of it after that time.
UNION TP. PiEliUKES THE RING. In the selection of delegates from Union township on Saturday last for the republican county convention the republican ring which seeks to dictate all nominations was thoroughly rebuked, judged by expressions heard from many republicans on the street. The ring, which we are given to understand, is composed of Brush. Bunnell, Ben Crane. Jehu S. Brown and two or three other well known lights ot the party, had its own ticket and worked hard to have such delegates chosen as were known to be favorable to it, but dill not succeed. The ticket desired to go through by the ring was McCornnck for treasurer,
White for auditor, Mount for prosecutor and Scott lor representative, yet itfailed to win so far aB Union township is considered. Rice has a majority for treasurer of tho delegates, Wasson and Rusk for auditor, while for prosecutor Kennedy is said to be in tho load. Tho ring, however, will get in its most telling work on tho day of tho convention which is next Saturdaj, and the antiringsters will have to hustle between now and that day if they desire to defeat it.
RAISING THElE SALARIES. THb COAL MINERS' STRIKE. The members of tho city council had Perhaps the most extensive strike hardly got warmed in their seats for against a reduction of wages ever known the new term until the first thine was in this country is that of the coal aiinto increase their salaries, and those also ers now under way in every part of tho of nearly every city official. Council- country where coal has been mined, men receiving heretofore B100 and Sl'25 The number of unen now out is said to per year, under the new dispensation be all the way from loO.OOH to '200,000 hereafter receive ?140. Tho salaries of and the prospect ot a speedy settlement both Mayor and Marshal are raised 675 between miners aud bosses seems at each. The city attorney receives $500 tl is time a long distance oil. Both instead of 6300 as last year. The only sides seem firm, yet eventually, no reduction observed is that in the office doubt, the miuers as in similar strikes, of city eugineer whoso salary is reduced will return to work, accepting the terms from 6S00 to 6G00, but as he has hereto- offered and be in a fur worse condition fore been receiving about 8400 per year than before. This is the history of more tnan his work is worth, there need most strikes in this country at least,
be no loud expressions of boasted economy on the part of the city council, to far as that otlice is concerned. Those who worked so earnestly for the succets of the present council at the last election are not now very boastful of their labor after learning of this lir=t move of tho gentlemen composing it. Their first move is economy with a vengeance —voting themselves
ary Tax payers who complain of high taxation in the ciiy over that of four and live \ears ago. how do you like the prospect ahead? When do \oti think there will be a reduction in the. levy? In times like the present when every tnan is desirous of 'educing expenses to the lowest ebb, when every nerve strained to economize, what must lie tl.e popular opinion of men who vote themselves increased salaries for labor well enough paid for before? lint the council is all republican, all tile oilier city officials arc republicans, most of the contractors of city work ami who hang around city offices from year to year, are republicans, and what are you goino do about it?

AGAIN A CANDIDATE.
As to be expected the Parke county stereotype, lion. James T. Johnston, bobs up for office, and through his home paper announces at the solicitation of friends he will be a candidate for Congress this year—if his party will nominate him. He has been a candidate for something for twenty years past, is a perpetual office seeker, and will never see the time he is not wanting some office. Business is perhaps dull at home, and if there is a chance to get some oflice Johnson is on hand. He made an indifferent oflicial during his career as Congressman, but if las party has not anything better to offer the opposition should be satisfied and will be

PROPOSED NEW WATER WORKS. The general opinion seems to be that the proposetl construction of water works here in opposition to the old company is simply a game ofblutl.and
an increase of sal- that whatever happens no new company
will be organized. The old company is ready lo sell its plan*, and at a price at which competent appraisers say it is worth. It is better from every point of view that the old plant lie purchased, iT it can be obtained at reasonable tigures. Let those interested in a change of wafer works management tirst ascertain what they can buy the present plant for before embarking in a new concern.
