Is it because thMr consciences tell them the State educators have sufficient ground for a savage attack? It is certainly a cas where their own hard dealings teaches them to suspect the thoughts of others. I certainly think they have come to that point where if thfshould hear a sermon on Thou shalt not bear faJse witness they would Immediately cry out that the Normal School was savagely attacked."

IMPORTANT QUESTION

What Will Io Done About Income Tax in Xo War Settled. Hon. John Gilbert Shankliifs Coveted Post at Rerlin Will Re Left in Charge of a Republican. WASHINGTON. Dec. 21. While some of the members of the ways and means committee worked during the recess, others are making h. holiday of It. In fact, it is cl.iimeU tint little can be done until the eleven majority members of the ways and means committee come together and accept cither majority or minority reports of the subcommittee on Internal revenue. Messrs. MeMillhi and P.ryan reported a plan in favor of an individual income tax. Mr. Montgomery reiorted against and suggested the plan of a tax on incomes on invested wealth. Mr. Montgomery defends his plan, ami says that he could get into any community and combat any argument for the plan suggested by the other men of the committee. "In the first place." said Mr. Montgomery, "if a man has $10n,Ce0 d engages in any business enterprise he will gnve employment to many people, and is a benefit to the community. If he makes $2'J,(XK) a year and spend it, I don't care hov;, the money gets in circulation and benefits the people. If the profits be Invested In stocks and bonds the man does not spend it. but gets a return in interest, and on such return he should pay taxes for support of the government. The money which a man earns and spends is kept in circulation, and no matter where or how, it reaches many people and is constantly doing good. When a man having J1,0-K) chooses, rather than invest it himself, to loan it to those who are more venturesome, who have more energy and enterprise, and who wish to engage in business on such capital, he becomes a drone in society. Is supported by the work of other persons and he should not complain if he is taxed for a very small part of his profits." While Mr. Montgomery was talking, Mr. Stevens, of the committee, said in a jocular manner that he believed that he would win over members of tho committee who disagree about the income tax to support a profiosition to put a-duty on sugar to make up the deficit, which was expected to be raised by the tax on incomes. This is only an indication that all the members of the committee, as well as many In the House, are not altogether satisfied with the income tax proposition, and that a duty on sugar is yet a question to be considered. BEATS THE CJATLING (U, Invention of tin Indiana Man That Im Attracting: Attention. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Mr. George W. Robertson, formerly of Mount Vernon, and during the campaign of 1SSS secretary to Chairman Huston, and at present a chief of a, division in the Treasury Department, some time ago invented a rapid-tiring1 sun which has just passed the. severest ordeal possible at the hands of army experts. A favorable report Is now to be made on it by the ordnance bureau of the army. The test was conducted some weeks ago at the Springfield armory, and the various tests to which the gun was subjected were prepared at the War Department. It is a machine gun which fires Winchester cartridges through the regulation Winchester rifle barrels. It Is readily operated by one person, and on wheels is so light that a single person can pull it about rapidly and with ease. The gun is aimed with accuracy, and by simply turning a crank fires 450 bullets per minute with rs much accuracy us the single rifle In the haads of the marksman. While ft is a very much cheaper gun than the Maxim or Gatling, it comes directly in competition with those arms. Its great advantage, aside from the fact that any portion of it can be quickly duplicated while in action, is the shell-extractor. The cartridges are carried Into the gun by a belt, which is light and cheap, and the extraction is certain under all conditions. The Indiana friends of Mr. Robertson are congratulating him over his success. COXCKKXIXG IIOOSIERS. Another Fat OIHee Xot to lie Given Out Judge HolninnM Luck. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. President Cleveland has determined to make no change In the present consul-general at Berlin, who is William Hayden Edwards, a Republican. He intimated this fact very plainly to one of the Indiana Democratic Congressmen a few days ago. The fact that Edwards Is to stay will cause more than one Democratic heart in Indiana to ache, for there were numerous applicants for the position. This was one of the places which editor John Gilbert Shankiin would have accepted. Capt. J. J. Zinzieh left to-day for EvansviUe, Ind. He has been a candidate for steamboat inspector. It is understood this appointment will be made next week. The resignation of Ingles, the present inspector. Which was called for two weeks ago, has been received. James Paxton Voorhees's second :-icvel will be sent to press in New York very soon. Its title is "The Revelation of Humility."

Down with the Octroi. PALERMO, Dec. 21. There has been renewed and serious rioting owing to the anti-octroi agitation at Lercara di Freddi, a town forty-eight miles from here, which is fe.mous for its sulphur mines. A 'crowd of peasants and workmen, accompanied by their wives, assembled in front of the Town Hall shouting, "Down with octroi," "Down with municipality," "Iong live the King and Queen." The mob then marched to the octroi stations and burned several of the toll houses. Troops and gendarmes were hastily summoned, and after a sharp conflict, during which two of the policemen were wounded, the mob was dispersed. In consequ?nce of the repeated disturbances in Sicily reinforcements of troops will be dispatched to that island. Trouble with, n Kalstcr 31Ini.Hter. BERLIN, Dec. 21. There is much comment on the fact that two Cabinet councils have been held since the publication of Count Eulenburgs circular to tho provincial authorities. The first meeting was held last Friday, and lasted for five hours. Cancellor Von Caprivi and the Minister of War were present. The discussion was an extremely animated one. The second meeting took place yesterday. It is a most unusual thing for two meetings of the Cabinet to be held just before Christmas, and it is rumored that the discussion was en the alleged leaning of some Prussian Minister towards the Agrarians. His attitude towards the Russian treaty and the agitation among Prussian officials against the imperial policy, it is said, was also earnestly considered. One Way to Stop n Strike. ' MADRID. Dec, 24.

The Omaha Mayor Hears the Riot Act on Gambling Read. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 24. The statute cf the State of Nebraska, which conflicts with an order or resolution of the City Council, is still the law of the land. That was the effect cf Judge Scott's decision in a gambling case yesterday. One of the big gambling houses had been brought into court by a heavy loser, who wished revenge. This called the attention of the court to the fact that gambling houses were being run openly in the city in defiance of the State law on payment to the city of a monthly line of $1j0. In dissolving an injunction which had been granted District Judge Scott severely arraigned Major Bemis for permitting the violation of the law, saylrg: "Why i:; it that authorities of the city .will stretch forth their hands and the power of theb official position and say to a man: 'If you will pay per month you can carry on your business, that is a felony under the laws of the State.' These ort'cials violate their oaths of ollice ri.ht here under the shadow of the courthouse. This has got to stop or the criminal courts have got to stop, and I am in favor of stopping the gambling. Why Is this done? It is done because it will put people In oifice, and the chief executive of this city, who has violated his sworn duty, should be Imneached and branded as an impeached scoundrel in oifice. I say this in strong language, and hope I will be understood. I only wish I had language strong enough to express my feelings. A man was before this court the other day for stealing $1 and was sent to prison. Another man pays $150 and is allowed to commit a felony and walk the streets under the protecting arm of Mayor Bemis." WHOLESALE ARRESTS.

EVERYBODY, HASPS UP

One of the Cleanest Pieces of Train Bobbins: on Record. Crew of a Missouri Pacific I'assencrcr Under Guard While the Regular Collection Was Taken Up. PARSONS, Kan.. Dec. 24. Another and one of the boMest train robberies ever perpetrated has been recorded in the Indian Territory- The robbery occurred about 8 o'clock to-night, at Seminole, a small station on the Kansas Sc. Arkansas Vallay, which Is a division of the Missouri Facific. The train robbed .was No. 232, a train bound for Little Rock, Ark. As the train approached Seminole the engineer saw a danger signal ahead and slowed up, being under tho impression that he was flagged .to meet another train. As the train made the switch, however, the engineer perceived that a flat car had been run out of the side track on to the main line, and a red light placel on the car. As soon as the train reached the obstruction the engine was boarded by two or three men, who commanded the engineer and fireman to jump out of their cab, which they did with alacrity. As they did so they were confronted by half a dozen other men, armed to the teeth with Winchesters and revolvers. A detachment of the bandits then started towards the back of the train, and as they proceeded gathered in the rest of the train crew, who had stepped off to ascertain the reason for the sudden stoppage of the train. When the robbers had collected all the crew they were corralled and a guard placed over them, and then they proceeded to their work of mulcting the- express and mail cars. They attacked the mail car lirst and met with no resistance from the mail clerk. Pouch after pouch was opened and rifled of its contents. Then the letters which had been distributed in the pigeon holes were gone through deliberately, and all their valuable contents extracted and placed in a receptacle which the robbers carried. After completing their work in the mail c;ir the robbers turned their attention to the express car, and looted it of its con tents without the least objection from the. H express messenger, who was powerless to protect the company's property against such odds. Having satisfied themselves that they had secured all the valuables in the express car, the gang then proceeded through the coaches ami made a clean sweep of all valuable in the possession of the terrorized passengers. It would have been mere folly for the passengers or crew to resist, as the band was made up of eight desierate looking men, and it was evident from the way they went at the job that they kpew their business. While the robteis proceeded through the coaches each passenger was compelled to hand over all his cash and jewelry. No violence was offered, because every one gave up quickly, glai; to escape with a whole skin. The woik of the bandits was so deliberate and painstaking that it Is believed they are old tlmeri-, and that they are the same gang who h3ld up the Missouri, Kansas & Texas train night before last. They secured big booty, but no estimate can be given-of the loss. A pose was organized as soon as it was possible to advise the authorities of the fact, and the deputies are hot on the trail of the robbers. It is barely possible that if the posse get near the gang a tight will ensue. ROAD AGENTS GOT LITTLE. Southern PnelHc Trnin Held I'p to Rob the Welln-FarKo Express Car. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 24. The railroad brigands have again appeared In California, and this morning attacked a Southern Pacific train bearing the treasure of the Wells-Fargo express. Passenger train No. 20, which pulled out of this city late last night, ncrth bound, was held up at Roscoe, a small station twelve miles north of here, early this morrdng. The train was stopped by two men, who covered the trainmen wdth revolvers and blew open the doer of the express car with dynamite. After tho robbers had gone through the express car the train was allowed to proceed, after a detention of about thirty minutes. It was claimed that the robbers got nothir?, with the exception of $10 which was takei from the engineer, as they were unable to open the safe, and everything was locked up. Will Smith, s Southern Pacific df-tective, who started out from here about 4 o clock this morning with a posse, returned about noon. He says the work was that of green hands, who went out from this city and returned immediately after the robbery. He thinks they are local men. and this evening officers are working- on a clew which promLses to lead to their capture. 1 One of the robbers went out early in th evening with horse, and the others followed on the train. 'At Roscoe the lirst rran built a Are by the track, and as the train approached poured oil on the flames top of a freight car just behind the tender The latter them clambered down over the tender, and. covering the engineer with his revolver, ordered him to stop the train which he did.

WOMAN'S FIELD IN GERMANY. A mon k; lVnaii(ry It I m VeReOible Field, with Heavy Work to Do. New York SunOne good cure for discontent Is to contemplate the condition of some one who is not so well off as ourselves. If women get discouraged once In a while, and think that man Is a rude animal because he lets her stand In a street car, she has only to turn her eyes to Germany and she will be comforted. A woman who has been traveling over there has got so stirred up over it that she has been writing letters which are warranted to harrow up the soul of every sympathetic woman, and at the same time spread a benign glow of content through it. She declares that it gave her a strange sensation to see women worked with less humanity than a gentle-hearted driver would show toward his horse. "There are." she says, "various dsvices for saving the poor, poor horse in rural Germany. The chief of these is a huge basket, about a yard high, with a capacity of nearly two bushels, it is intended for a woman's back. It would probaly lit quite as well on a man's baek. although this is merely my individual judgment, ,as the experiment has not been tried in years. It is not so pretty as a blue cot with red wristbands; or a nice shiny musket, but in the course of a year w ill take a good many tons of apples and potatoes into town. It is harnessed fast by a strap over each shoulder. When the basket is once in place, the woman can move along at a right good gait. "She will often gret a number of miles without stopping to rest, it is so hard to get the thing up on her back again should she once take it off. A man, however, will sometimes help her do this, should he happen to le In the vicinity, and the women themselves are very kind to one another. But I have seen women struggle till the perspiration stood in great beads on their foreheads to get their loads off the ground and up to their shoulders, while half a dozen men stood by and talked about hard times and bad weather. Day and night the roads seem full of these burden bearers. Some have been late and have to walk home after dark, and others have to get up long before the sun in order to get to market by daybreak." This American woman admits that many of the women are strong and in the prime of "animal life." Their heads are bare, they wear one short skirt, and they step out with a long stride, apparently tireless as a machine. Hut many are old. and wrinkled, anK feeble, and seem nearly ready to fall by the way. In the southern part of Germany women carry great weights on their heads. In the north a wooden yoke is much in favor. It rests across the shoulders, and is considered to be a handy contrivance for women to use In carrying coal, water or vegetables. Hut in middle Germany the basket is the fashionable thing. The girl children are taught to wear it at an extremely early age, and they grow up to their life of burden wdth strong backs and sturdy legs. According to this observing woman another plan of saving the poor horse Is to harness women and dogs together in front of small wagons. The dog takes one side of the wagon tongue and the woman another, and together they manage to haul a considerable load. If there are two dogs they are hitched In front and the woman goes behind and pushes. Rut it really seems that women ought not to complain of lack of appreciation in Germany. Aside from the recognition of her qualities as a burden bearer she is In great demand for outdoor field labor. About the only things in this line which they do not do are tying up boers after they have been filled at a threshing machine and driving a horse. These are sinecures held sacred to men. Rut a woman mows and rakes hay; she Is esteemed a good hand also at digging potatoes, and it is a common thing to see ore down on her knees in the damp eatth gathering up these vegetables, A woman is also considered a clever person at collecting stones out cf plowed ground, at pulling sugar beets, at binding and loading sheaves of wheat, and feeding a threshing machine and at pulling up weeds. Storiet Circulated. Washington Capitsil. I am credibly informed that Secretary Orosham knew nothing whatever of the President's Hawaiian policy until the report of Mr. lilount was laid before him and the plan of the administration outlined. This is important, if true. There are other things that are also Important, If truestories, I mean, that are freely circulated in connection with this Hawaiian business. One is that Mr. Cleveland made some satisfactory arrangements with Claus Spreckels before he began a course of action which puts millions in the pockets of Spreckels a horrible thought; but there are othera still worse. One is that a New York dentist has been hovering about the White House for several days, prepared to perform another operation upon the presidential jaw. One other is that Mr. Cleveland has a cancer and Is losing his mind, anyway. Doe She Think: Damn?" San Francisco Chronicle. It Is matter of common repute, and supported by abundant testimony, that when the average man thinks damn he says damn. Whether "damn" be a "cuss wojrd" or not must be left to the moralists and philologists to determine. The purpose of this Inquiry is to ascertain this fact, namely, when the average woman thinks damnas she unquestionably does at times does she say it. or does she content herself with some modified form of expression, salving her conscience by the adoption ef some gloss on the original text? Queen VictorIaH AnnL. New York Tribune. In no European army is the military standard of height so great as in tnat of Queen Victoria. The tallest of her soldiers is a Rombadier. Wheeler bv name, who lelongs to the llattery of the Royal Horse Artillery, and who stands six feet eight inches in his stockings.

StenlliiK Time. Detroit Free Pres-?. When the visitor came into the office to talk with the busy man he laid several bundles on the desk. After h had wasted a half hour or more of the busy man's precious time lv got up to go. "Let me see," he said, looking over his packages; "have I ot everything that beVonrrs to me?" "R-Mlly. I don't know," replied the busy man, "but you've got a good deal that belongs to ine;" -in 1 the vi.dtor didn't understand it, of course. Origin of u Ih rase. Boston Transcript. A Texas paper, the Bolton Journal, takes exception t a Transcript correspondent's statement that the phrase, he is "in it" or they are not "in it," originated in Dickens's "Bleak House." and refers to Ezeklel, xlv. 1!: "Though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job. were in it, they should deliver but their own snils by their righteousness, saith the Lcrd God." Dickens does seem to be antedated. Looking: to Her Own Interests. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. "I paid $7.r) for a box of cigars for my husUind's Christinas present." said Mrs. Dukane. "You were a very ".vtravagant woman." said Mrs. O.iswell. "You iuld have got a nice box for fJ or $5. with a real pretty colored picture on th? inside of the lid." "I know that, but you see my husband smokes in the house." ot 1 ilixeil. Ronton Journal.
