1804.

Thkhk promises to be a revolt aniongseveral Democrats ag-ainst the Wilson bill on accountof the inco.iie tax which kas been made a rider to the bill.

Thh New York

Sim,

Democratic,

denounces the Wilson bill thus: "Protection, favoritism, discrimination' fraud—these are four leg's of the W'il•on what-is-it."

The House has passed an amendment to the AVilson bill repealing the reciprocity clause of the IVIclvinley law. The advantages this country has grained by lower duties for our products into those countries with which we have made reciprocity treaties are to be all thrown away.

Tiik present price of a barrel of salt is 5(5 cents, of which the cost of the barrel is 2a cents. Supposing' that putting1 it on the free list should temporarily rcduce the price five cents, kow many barrels of salt would a firmer have to use in the course of a jear to make up the loss on his tobacco •f wool crop?

In his letter accepting the nomination for President in 1884, Cleveland •H,ul that "the voters of the land have bjarned that mystery and concealment iti. the management of their affairs eoVer tricks and betrayals." What has kis own course been but one of "mystery and concealment"' in his Hawaiian policy? lie has vindicated the correctBess of his own statement.'

Thh income tax proposition will have •oxne determined Democratic opposition as witness this from the Boston Qloltc, the Hourbon organ of the New Hngland States:

It is high time to call a stern halt to tiiii wild theorists at Washington whose plans mean the wreck of the Democratic party. Let all Democratic Con pressmen of wise conservatism, sound common sense and business knowledge *nite to check at once the income tax «n which has manifested itself in the ranks of the Ways and HI eans Commfttee.

Tjie Chicago platform declared in favor of tariff for revenue, and yet by the estimates made by the chairman of tSie Ways and Means Committee the Wilson bill will leave or create a deficit 878,000,000. Instead of a bill for revenue it is a bill for a deficit. The Clileago platform said nothing about an income tax, but the deficit made the Wilson bill is to be partly supplied by a direct tax on the American people. The sticklers for the letter of the..Chicago platform should study its declarations.

Till', statement that preparations are feeing made to establish a republic in Hawaii, modeled upon that of the United States, has been anticipated in tfliia country. The founders of the ..•Provisional Government are Americans thought, spirit and action, as well as by birth and descent. Next to their ambition that Hawaii should be a part of the United States is their desire that that country should assimilate to ours iu its form of government. A republic would be a fitting prelude to annexation.

Ax income tax is the worst kind of •class legislation. The Democratic party has been clamoring since Jefferson's time against this form of legislation as contrary and antagonistic to tlie fundamental doctrines of equal sights and exact justice. It is now discarding methods of raising revenue which cheapened prices, and consequently were not felt bv the rich and •'•poor, and is substituting for them class legislation of the most stringent character. What is an income tax if it is not a class tax? In the very nature of the proposition it divides the country into classes.

Pbnkion claims are being held up to an enormous exti nt short time ago iu an official report Pension Commissioner Loehren stated that there were 700,000 claims pending. The statement comes from a pension official, who is thoroughly acquainted with the facts, that there are 100.000 completed •laims now in the pension office awaiting the action of Mr. Locliren and his subordinates before these claimants can draw any money. That is to say, according to this official, there are 100,000 cases in which the proof is all complete and which, if justice were done, would immediately go on the rolls. .Hut to make a show of their widows and orphans, this Administration holds ap these claims and sends ex-Confederates all over the country to hunt up alleged frauds.

PRIZE FIGHTING.

It is useless to moralize on the sin and iniquity of prize-fighting so long as there is such a profound anxiety on the part of the people of all classes, not only the class to which the trained ruffians belong, but by men and women of profess-ed refinement, to await the result and to read with avidity the details of a match between sluggers of international reputation,: Disgusting as the idea of a prize-fight may be, it is doubtful if the reality is as horrible as the imagination pictutes it. The sluggers engage in the business for the money there is in it. They know enough about their business to save their precious carcssses from harm. To-day neither Corbett nor .Mitchell are as sore physically as the average football eleven after a twohours game, and they leave the arena with their pockets lined with cash, which the football men do not do. Yesterday it was the public that was taken in. Men paid thousands of dollars to see Corbet knock Mitchell down three times in perhaps as many minutes Thousands of copies of newspapers were sold all over the country to gratify an inordinate greed for the news of the brief ordeal. It was the talk of the town, in stores, shops and Simpson's Midway Plaisance. And what is to be done? Nothing, perhaps, except to drink in consolation over the fact that it was an Englishman that was licked by an American.

FEU AM) SALARY LAW 1' I'll KM). The Supreme Court lias passed upon the constitutionality of the fee and salary law which regulates the compensation of State and county officers. The opinion was written by Judge Coffey and is concurred in by all the court, except Judge MeCab,\ who rendered a dissenting opinion. The majority holds that the law is constitutional and sets out at great length its reasons. The Law must therefore stand. If there is any injustice the remedy lies in the Legislature. This will be pointed out by its practical workings. The policy of salaries having once been established it is safe to say that it will be adhered to by future legislatures. The legislation hereafter will be in the nature of adjusting the incongruities of the present law with a view to straightening out its inequalities. It would seem that salaries of public officials should be based upon the amount of business done instead of on population. This would not be a violation of the policy of salaried officers but would be in the natm-e of paying a man for his services in proportion to his work.

ORGAXTZET) FOR WORK. The new Republican State Central Committee met yesterday at Indianapolis for the purpose of organization. Perfect harmony prevailed. John K. Gowdy was re-elected Chairman by a unanimous vote. 11. M. Seeds was chosen Secretary and J. K. Henry Treasurer. The committee got down to business at once, and the first thing done was to set the time for holding the State convention for the nomination of a full ticket, except condidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The time fixed is the 2(tli of April. The basis of representation is one delegate for each 150 votes and each fraction of 7f or ovjr cast for the first Presidential elector in 18!2. Montgomery having cast 3,837 votes will be entitled to 2(5 delegates. Reports from all parts of the State are of the most cheering character, and if Republican prospects continue to improve as they have improved during the last few months Indiana is good for 25,000 majority. From now on the ball will be kept rolling by its own momentum.

In 1S32 John C. Calhoun and his followers in the State of South Carolina said that a protective tariff was unconstitutional, and that they would not pay duties to the national government, except for "revenue only." They attempted to nullify the constitution of the United States by passing an ordinance declaring the tarif law void so far as South Carolina was concerned. That grand old patriot. Andrew Jackson, then President of the United States, said that protection was constitutional, and that "Hy the Eternal, if one drop of blood was shed in South Carolina he would hang John C. Calhoun." He sent General Scott to Fort Moultrie and a United States war vessel to Charleston harbor, and the result was that, with the gallows staring them in the face, Mr. Calhoun and his followers backed down.

Senator Ci'li.om's characterization of Hlount's course in Hawaii as that of an "American spy"'is graphic.

MALICE IS NOT STATESMANSHIP. The wise statesman is the one who seeks to build up and not to strike down great industrial enterprises in his country. The foundation of all prosperity in any country is constant and profitable employment for labor. The rich, who do not need to labor, will always thrive. It is the poor who must live by labor, whose interests need the watchful care of the legislator. Such have been the notions of our most prominent statesmen from Washington and Hamilton down to Lincoln and Garfield. They were all the steadfast and unfaltering advocates of a national policy that would develop our agricultural resources, our mines, our manufacturing enterprises, in short, a policy that would make the nation a very beehive of industry and self-support. These great men recognized the actual fact that most men arc born to no inheritance of wealth, and must rely on their labor for the support of themselves and their families, and that whatever policy would afford useful employment for the hands of man, would improve his condition and fill his home with plenty. The old Republican party of 1801, led by Jefferson, the old Democratic party of 1830 led by .Jackson, the Whig party of 1840, led by Clay and Webster, all adhered to these tenets and gave them their constant support. Mr. Jefferson said that our national prosperity demanded that we should manufacture our own supplies of everything we used, so far as we could and this without any regard to whether homemade goods cost more or less than foreign ones. Jackson urged that our independence required that we should not be compelled to look to foreign nations for anything we could make or raise at home that in case of war and the cessation of commerce, we should be badly crippled if we could not secure supplies at home. So argued r. Clay and Mr. Webster, and the almost divinely inspired Lincoln. It was not until Mr. Calliotm became crazed with his State rights hobby that any lead ing statesman of this country had a different opinion. And Mr. Calhoun's theories all grew out of his dislike of the national government. After his loss of the public confidence, and his abandonment of all idea of reaching the Presidency, he sought only to destroy. And the Democratic party of to-day is but following in the footsteps of Mr. Calhoun.

Take for instance their course with regard to some of our important enterprises. They insist on putting salt on the free list. There can be no earthly motive for this but to cripple a great industry in this country. The idea that their object is to make salt cheaper is the veriest pretense. Salt cannot be made cheaper than it is now, if anything at all is to be paid for the labor that makes it. There is not a bit of complaint from any quarter or from any individual in all the country about the price of salt. Is it not unaccountable then that there should be a party in Congress insisting on removing the tariff from salt? What motive prompts this action? Can it be anything else than a malicious purpose to cripple our great salt industry?

Take, again, the attempts that are now being made to build up a sugar industry here. It is no longer a matter of doubt that we have both soil and climate as well adapted to the production of beet sugar as either Germany or France, and that the manufacture of our own supply of sugar would afford labor for hundreds of thousands of people, and that such a vast addition to the sugar production of the world would greatly cheapen sugar to the consumer. Hut. notwithstandingall these advantages, we find the Democratic party trying to withdraw every vestige of encouragement to this great enterprise.

So with regard to tin-plate. We have already started forty odd tin-plate factories and tin is just as cheap as ever but the Democratic party is not satisfied to see tin-plate factories succeed in this country. They propose to withdraw all encouragement and aid and let them "sink or swim." Whoever mistakes all this for statesmanship is too dull to distinguish between wisdom and malice. The old Calhoun hatred of northern industries and northern enterprise has taken possession of,the Democratic party, and it is useless to longer deny it.

Another twelve mouths' experience with the little man and the picayune ideas that dominate the country today and they will be forever swept, into oblivion. The masses will learn that it is the mission of statesmanship to preserve and build up the industries of the country and that only malice caii wish to tear them down and turn our laborers into the streets to be their daily bread from the hands of charity.

Tin- breath of a chronic catarrh patient is often so offensive that he becomes an object of disgust. After a time ulceration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked, and frequently destroyed. A constant source of discomfort is the dripping of the purulent secretions into the throat, sometimes producing inveterate bronchitis, which is usually the exciting cause of pulmonary disease. The brilliant results by its use for years past properly designate Ely's Cream Halm as by far the best and only cure. Call upon you druggist for it.

MIXED ON THE MIDWAY.

The Guessing Contests Result In Too Many People Hitting Upon the Correct Numbers.

The Midway entertainment closed Saturday night in the traditional blaze of glory and everybody went home happy at its close except those folks who had paid cash for guesses, struck the right number and when reaching out to grab the prize discovered that some one else had just as good claims as they had. It was pretty tough but it was mighty true. C'rawfordsville has too many good guessers.

When the fat men were trotted up on the scales and their combined weight obtained it was found to be just 1,403% pounds. Both Fred Maxwell and Will Miller had made the guess and Major Foote, foreman of the grand jury, was within a quarter of a pound of it. The beautiful §10 lamp is still hanging on the Christmas tree.

No one guessed the correct number for the round trip ticket to Chicago, it being number 81. Mrs. J. 15. Pence and Miss Mina Wilkinson tied for it, guessing 77 and 83 respectively.

The length of Gus Truitt's red crescent was 72 inches and and just fortythree lucky citizens will contest the validity of their claims to those two sacks of flour.

In the Music Ilall ticket guesses the Johnston family came to the front with a cold rush. Charley Johnston got one and Will Johnston a second, while D. W. Sanders went galloping off with the third ticket which entitled him to a free initiation to the mysteries of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

It is suggested that those persons tying perform the pleasing act of "shaking- the box" to decide the win-

N'OTKS.

The gross receipts are in the neighborhood of §450 and at least §375 of this will be net profit for the association.

Manager Simpson wishes to express his thanks to all those who so materially assisted him in making the entertainment a success.

Manager Simpson and all the workers deserve the thanks of the public for their indefatigable labors in making the Midway the unqualified success it proved to be.

Probably no words are more fre quently quoted than these, and surely none could have a greater meaning or show more clearly that some carnality in our lives, caused, perhaps, by ourselves, through ignorance, carelessness or insufficient attention to the laws of nature, might have been averted. How true it is, especially in regard to the sick. Might it not have been the case with nearly all of us at some period that had we but known what to do at the proper time, much suffering could have been saved?
