An income tax means that the burdens of taxation for the support of the National government are to be evened up—heretofore the poorer the family the greater the proportionate burden of National taxation placed upon the members thereof.

The Democratic members of Congress have done away with both the sugar bounty and sugar tarid', and if the Senate and President concur a great step in the way of tariff reform will have been taken. Speed the day when all tariff taxation be laid for revenue only.

It behooves the Democracy of the city of Greencastle to look about them and select good men and true to place on the ticket as candidates for the city offices to be filled at the coming election. The Republican ticket is in no sense a strong one ; it has not the make-up that compels popular enthusiasm ; it gives promise of none of the much needed reforms in city affairs, but on the contrary it makes certain the fact that extravagance and mismanagement will continue.

Taxing the incomes of the rich is the pnly sure and fair method of collecting from this class the legitimate share of taxes they should pay towards the support of the general government.

The taxation of the incomes of the rich means a proportionate reduction of taxation on the necessaries of life which are used by rich ami poor alike. If an income tax meant nothing more than this it would bo an equitable and righteous measure.

The patent on the Bell Telephone has expired and numerous companies are springing up all over the country to furnish telephones and telephone service at low down prices. The tariff on the “hello” business will have to come down, as well as in the McKinley bill business.

The Protectionists in Congress who are masquerading as Democrats should be given their walking papers ; they are attempting the impossibility of serving God and mammon, but their service of the former is only a pretense, while to the latter they are devoted body, soul and breeches.

SHOT AT BY HEBELS.

Curiosity in a reader prompted him to write and ask an editor the origin of the too common saying: “He isn’t in it.” The editor’s answer was that the expression was first used by an editor who died and went to heaven, and looked around for the man who took his paper and read it three years and then refused to pay for it.

There is not a section in the Wilson bill that will add a cent to the wages of any American workingman, but there are many sections that will have the opposite effect.—BannerTimes. There is not a section in the McKinley bill that has not contributed to cutting down the wages of American workingmen, or throwing them out of employment. The record since its adoption has given ample proof of these facts.

The calamityites of the Republican party who have been seeking to make political capital out of the unfortunate condition of the country into which it was plunged by the Repub lican legislation of the past three decades are sore vexed because prosperity is retu rning in all lines of business, but more especially in that of manufacturing. In other words, as it becomes apparent that the burdens of the McKinley bill are to be removed by the adoption of a tariff reform measure, the wheels of industry begin to revolve and the stagnancy in the channels of trade gives way to activ ity and Republican croakers find their occupation fast slipping away. If our judgment is worth aught, we feel safe iu predicting that the year IS'Ji will be an active and profitable one in all branches of legitimate business —money is plenty and its owners are seeking opportunity to place it where it will stimulate business and add to the general prosperity.

an act of war. Washington. Jan. 81.—At a late hour Tuesday night the following details from the official advices of the navy department are learned concerning the incidents on the 29th at Kio de Janeiro: "Previous to the 29th Admiral Ben ham had communicated with Admiral da Gama, warning him against tiring upon American ships and refusing to accept the insurgent commander’s excuse that he had given warning concerning w here tho danger line was. The commanders of three American ships having signified their desire to go to the wharves on the morning of the 29th, the American admiral sent word that he would convoy them. He also sent word to Admiral da Gama to that effect Two ships were convoyed to the wharves by tho Detroit, tho insurgent warships following them. Firing Hegina. “When nearly at the wharf and while a lug was taking a cable ashore tho innurgent warships opened Are. sending a volley of musket shot under the bow ot the lug. The Detroit answered with a warning shot and the insurgent ship then sent a shot over the Detroit. The Detroit in reply sent a shell which reached a portion of the stern of the Insurgent ship, doing little damage. The insurgent commander then fired In warning a broadside to leeward in the opposite direction from which the Detroit lay. This was answered by another shot from the Detroit The insurgents signaled that unless the Detroit ceased tiring they (tho tnsurgentsi would sink the American ship. The language which was used by the American admiral in answer to this signal was of such a nature that the incident closed for that day and the ships were allowed to land.” The Admiral’s Statement. Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 31.—The following 1 statement has been made to the Associated press correspondent by Admiral Benham, commander of the United States fleet in this harbor: "The Insurgent forces on Cobras Island last Friday fired upon a ship flying the United States Hag 1 protested to Admiral Saldahna da Gama against this action, and his response was that ho had warned the commander of the ship when it was at the bar at Kio Janeiro as to the n herenbiqgas of the danger line I ordered Admiral da Gifma to cease the Qrtng. “Both the guns on the island of Cobras and the guns of the Insurgent warship Trajano opened fire Saturday upon the bark Agate, a vessel hailing from New York. I warned Admiral da Gama at once that it the Hre was repeated I would Are back. Would Consider Him a Pirate. “I also warned him that If he touched an American ship I would consider him a pirate. I told him I would protect American property from the tire of his guns, and that I should retaliate upon him for any damage done unless H was entirely apparent that t’au damage was due to chance shuts." Admiral Bonham says that he notified Admiral da Gama unofficially that firing by the insurgents upon the wharves for the purpose merely of creating 1 terror ami to prolong a blockade would not be permitted so far as Americans and American vessels were concerned. To this communication the insurgent admiral made no answer. Iteeks Cleared for Action. The captains of the American vessels. Admiral Benham continues, intimated that they wanted to go to the wharves and the American admiral notified Admiral da Gama that it was his intention to convoy them at sunrise on Monday. Fearing trouble Admiral Benham ordered tiiat the vessels of his fleet be cleared for action. The three ships referred to were the Amy, the Good News and the Julia Rollins. The captains of two of the ships weakened and failed to come into the harbor. The Amy was the only one that ventured in, and she was escorted by the United States cruiser Detroit. Muakct Khots Kxchanged. No cannon were opended upon her by Da Gama’s vessels, and, as a matter of course, the American vessels did not fire upon the insurgent ships. The insurgent protest consisted of this: As the Amy got abreast of the Guanabara a marine on the last-named vessel aimed a musket at her and fired. Two musket shots were fired at the Guanabara and the Trajano from the Amy’s escort, the Detroit, in return. This was all the firing done during the Amy’s trip, and it was enough. All opposition ceased at once, and the use of heavy guns was not considered necessary at any time, lienham < nngrtit ulatutl. The commanders of sixteen warshins here, including five American and four British and French, have sent messages to Admiral Benham congratulating him upon his prompt action. Tnc Austrian commander cleared his ship and made ready to help the American admiral in case help was necessary.
