It is reported at Washington that Senator Voorhees intends, during the coming season. to attack the manage- ment of the Pension Bureau under Secretary Smith and Commissioner Lochrcn, believing that that manage-1 ment was responsible for the Demo- cratic losses at the recent elections. No doubt his belief is correct, for no thoughtful man ever doubeed that the present pension reform would inflict a_ severe luSS upon the party in power. During the extra session, Mr. Voor- hees became so incensed at the cruel rulings and action of the officials at the Pension office, that he ca‘led upon the president and threatened, it is said, that he would Openly denounce the present management of the Pension office from his seat in the Senate, if it were not changed. Teaching the Poor to Hate. The following well deserved castiga- tion from the Washington Post, will find an approving echo in every honest citizens breast. It says: “the New York World seems to-regard the creation and intensification of class prejudice as a la- bor of love. To that congenial end its best efi'orts,its most persistent thought, and its finest ingenuity are devoted, with an enthusiasm in'no other depart- ment of its activity. Our contemporary’s latest manifesta- tion in this line appeared in its issue of last Sunday, and took the form of “a lady reporter’s” story of the selfishness. and cruelty of the rich. The “lady re- porter” disguised herself as a poor and starving, but, of course, noble hearted woman, and went from door to door in the aristocratic district asking for a lin- ner. With tearful eyes,in broken tones. she gave the awful narrative of her pre- tended misery. A father who had de- serted her,a mother just dead of starva- tion, and an indefinite number of fam- ishing children crying for bread,and so on ; while she preferring a life of honest tell to the one of luxurious depravity, was bravely begging for a square meal at the portals of the millionaires. Nat- urally no one knows what yarn the “lady reporter” really sprang upon the different flunkeys to whom she in turn appealed. She may or may not have re- sorted to arguments calculated to touch the roughest heart—probably not. But it is quite evident that the ol ject of the expedition was to furnish a fresh cnapr for on the wickedness and brutality of the favored class, and that at least that part of the job was attended to con amore. Nice, pleasant, softening literature that article must have made Sunday morning, for the idle, the discontented and the brooding thou sands who stimu- late their hatred and prejudices on the . tonics dealt out to them by the New York World. Emma Goldman was vin~ dicated in that carefully prepared ap peal to half-crazed passion. Every pes- tiferous agitator and wild eyed preach- er of the social revolution found aid and comfort in his sinister disclosures. N 0- body, Of course, stopped to consider whether it was true. Nobody was moved to ask whether such a man as Chaun- cey M. Depew, for, instance, actually refused a starving woman the food to save her. No reference was made to the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually given by the New York rich for mercy and humanity. The whole tendency of the article was to create in the minds of the ignorant and the. dis- tressed a deep-seated rancour against those more fortunately placed. It was the seed from which Bermanns, and Linggs, and Schwabs spring up, the in- spiration of anarchy and rapine—the very latest'and most perfect work ,of evil is the World’s especial line. - ._..‘.. The People Are All Right. l: ' " These be brave and true words fiom that sterling democratic paper, the Philadelphia Times, which says: “Due of-the habits of mind of the partisan \ "a. . ,( 5v; . I writer at once amusing and annoying is his constant assumption that all patriotism and virtue are confined to his side and that the opposite party is deliberately bent upon wickedness. This idea is apparently associated with another, that the inhabitants of this country, or those whom he addresses, are, as the . cynical philosopher ex- presses it, “mostly fools.’ The fools are numerous, no doubt, and worth considering at election time. But they are‘even less likely to have their own way than the knaves. And our institu- tions would not last long if the assump- tion were true that about one-half of the people were bent on their destruc- . tion. The great body of the American peo- ple are sincerely and earnestly patriot- ic. They differ in their ideas of gov- ernment, but each side believes that its ideas are the best for all, and they uphold them for no other reason. And their judgment, the judgment of the whole body, though not always infalli- ble, is in the long run sound and right. Even when we think the majority has shifted to the wrong side, we may al- ways feel sure that the country can take care of itself. Partly from personal conviction and as often, no doubt, from inherited tra- dition, the largest number of Ameri- cans habitually vote with one party or the other. This solid Vote that changes little is generally about evenly divided. It is the shifting balance that deter- mines an election, sometimes upon one side, some times on the other. Now this balance is made up of two kinds of voters as wide apart as philos- ophers and fools. It is made up partly of men of serious thought and earnest conviction, to whom parties are only a means of good government and who freely change their vote from one to the other as they believe the best public interests to demand, and partly of men of no convictions at all, who are easily influenced by super- ficial appearances or the Specious mis- representations of demagogues. The drift of either of these contrast- ed_class_es will often determine an elec- tion. Thus the men who seek a reme- dy for hard times by voting .“agin the government,". without understanding or considering what may have caused the hard times, are of a class quite numerous enough in most of our states to have reversed the attitude of parties at a time like this. If they should hap- pen to be prospering at this time next year, they will be quite (apable of vot- ing On the other side again without caring for a reason. When to these are joined, as was thecase in New York and New Jersey, the many earnest men who are ready to vote against their own party if necessary to secure better government, nobody need waste much time in wondering “which did it." - . Both classes, in their different ways, are patriotic in intent and both are more likely to be influenced, also in different ways, by facts than by party theories. But if it is desirable to ar- gue'with either, the thoughtful kind are better worth addressing. It would ' be a relief if, after the election, the organs would cease addressing them- selves to fools.” TEZRSE TALES! or lHE TIMES.

Ingersoll having been accused of saying that he believes in immortality, gave the following state- ment to a reporter: “I have never said ‘that perhaps be- fore I. die I will say in public that I be- have in immortality.‘ I have nothing to conceal on that question. I do not say that death ends all, neither. do I say that man is immortal. I say that I do not know. to believe is another,and to hope is still another. Ih‘ope for all good, for all joy, for the children of men. All I can say about immortality is this: There was a time when I was not, after that I was, now I am, and it may be, that it is, .no more wonderful that I should con- t1nue_forever, now that I, have a start, than it was that I should begin.

Dismissed From His Position, He Seeks Revenge. About one week ago Selectman Ray- mond notified Charles Gehebe, who for the past fifteen years has had charve of the station house on- Smith street, that he must vacate, as a successor had been appointed to his office . Since that time Gehebe has made frequent visits to the selectmen’s office, and tried in every way to secure a reinstatement, but to no purpose. He was.§however, told that he need be in no hurry about getting out of the place and was given until the first of J anuary; in which to secure other quarters. 7; Havrng been these for such a long period be naturally felt sore about leaving, and the matter weighed upon his mind to such an extent that he be- — came almost crazed. On Tuesday he sought consolation in drink which, as after developments show, only tended to further madden him. About4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, he called at the selectmen’s office and in a measure gave vent to his feelings but so far as we can learn made no seri- ous threats, and if he did nothing was at the time thought of them. About 8 o’clock in the evening he called at Selectman Daskam’s house on East pvenue, and not finding him home went away. He again called at about 10 o’clock, and Mrs. Daskam went to the door in answer to the bell. As pre- viously advised by Mr. Daskam she re- fused to open the door, but by his voice recognized Gehebe as the caller. She then called to Mr. Daskam who went to the door. Gehebe thereupon com- menced a tirade against him. Mr. Dari-.- kam then ordered Gehebe off of the premises, but he refused to go and in- sist-ed on having a talk with ,Daskam. Seeing that it would be useless to argue with him Daskam secured a revolver and again going to the door said: “ If you don’t get- ofl‘ this stoop and go away I will blow your d~—d brains out.” Gehebe then left and Mr. Daskam heard no more of him. Shortly after, or about 11 o’clock, there came another knock at thedoor, and Mr. Da‘skam thought that Gehebe hadreturned. He asked ‘ ‘Who’s there?” and was pleased to has. 135,110 voice of Officer Martin in repl ~"~ He learned that Martin had beenadvised of Ge- hebe’s condition, and had heard of his threats, and had come down to arrest him and warn those whom he had threatened. ’ Shortly after 11 o’clock there came a rap at Selectman Raymond’s door. The members of the family had all re- tired but Mrs. Darrow, (Mr. Raymond’s daughter,) who went to the door and opening it, saw Mr. Gehebe, who in a very excited manner asked for Mr. Raymond, who on hearing the loud talk at the door got up and went into the hell but partially dressed. The hall was dark and he returned to his room for a lamp. As hewent into his room he heard someone tap on his win- dow and going to the same found a son of Gehebe'thcre who said, "Father has threatened to shoot you, and you had better look out.” ~Mr. Raymond then jumped out of a window, and ran to a neighbor’s for assistance, having no weapon of defense in the house. During his absence Gehebe had got in- to the hall, and pulling a pistol out ‘of his pocket, pointed it full in Mrs. Darrow’s face. She looked him brave- ly in the eye and did not flinch and he put the revolver back in his pocket. Before Mr. Raymond returned Ge- hebe was persuaded by Officer Martin, who had arrived on the scene, to leave the house, and he went down the ave- nue in company with his son. He then said that he was going to New York, and the two walked over to he south Norwalk station where Ge- hebe sat down on a truck and falling asleep the train passed by without his boarding it. His son had previously secured possession of the revolver, and after a while persuaded'his father to go home. This morning Mr. Gehebe was at his home and abed and complained of feel- ing very sick. He cared to see no one, but Mr. John Malone gained an audi- ence with him. Mr. Malone says that while Gehebe yet feels very sore about his removal he seemed to very much regret his actions of Tuesday night. ‘ “Charley” who was familiarly called has been for nearly sixteen years in charge of the station house and proba- bly no one in town is better acquainted with the tramp fraternity than he. Possessed of a retentive memory, if a tramp called for lodging he would re- ‘irember him if it was two years after before the same tramp made a second call. His experiences have been varied and a recital of them would fill col- umns. Prisonershave almost invari- ably spoken well of the treatment re- ceived at his hands. , His doings last night are a surprise to his friends and they can account for it in no other way than that he was intoxi-_ cated or insane. Mr. Raymond expresses no hard feelings against Mr. Gehebe and at the earnest and tearful requests of his fami- ly decided to notprosecute' him, pro- bably recognizing the fact that he has served the town for a long period of time, and until of late without much complaint against him. Mr. Gehebe’s successor is Walter Hall who was elected constable at the recent town election. ~ USE DANA’S SARSAPAHILLAJT’S ‘THE KIND THAT CURES.” +>-—— Collector Byxbee Collector of Internal Revenue John I.

The Exemption to Be High Enough to Exclude Laboring People—Other Changes in Internal Revenue Laws Not. Necessary Then -Sevcral Re- ciprocity Sections to Be Wiped Out. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—A revenue of $50,000, 000 is expected by the democrats of the ways and means committee from the moderate income tax which they pro- pose to incorporate in the new revenue bill. The rate of the tax will probably be 2 per cent. and the exemption will be high enough to exclude the great mass of labor- ing men and people on small salaries. The limit now under discussion is from $3,500 to $4,000. A good many statistics have been pre- pared by the treasury experts on the in- comes of the country and the rates of revenue obtained under different plans, and it is believed that the 2 per cent. rate will yield a handsome addition to the revenue of the governmt. May Increase the Bates. If the increase in the revenue should prove insufficient after a year or two to meet the demands'of the treasury, the rate might be slightly increased, or the limit or exemption lowered. _ One of the attractions of the income tax to those members of the committee who are advocating it is that it allows change! in the rate to meet the demands of the treasury without disturbing the industries of the country as in the case of changes in the tariff. No Change in Internal Bevenue Laws. If the income tax is adopted in the form new under consideration, other changes in the internal revenue laws will not b- necessary. There will be no increase in the beer tax, the whiskey tax, the tax on manufactured tobacco or the tax on cigars. The question of duty on sugar is still an open one, but it is not unlikely that a. duty will be imposed of about one cent per pound on both raw and refined sugars. To Abandon the Sugar Bounty. This will enable the committee to aban- don the bounty now paid paid the Louisi- ana and ‘Nebruska'growers. without leav- ing them absolutely without protection against foreign compstltiOn. It is also desired to strike a blow at the sugar trust by making the duty on refined sugar sub- stantially the same as on raw sugar. The reciprocity section, which deals with sugar, hides, tea and coffee, will probably be stricken from the law, but Without necessarily abrogating the exist- ing rehiprocity arrangements with Ger- many, With Spain regarding Cuba and with the South American countries. To Remain Free of Duty. The articles. named will remain free of duty from all countries, unless a small tax is imposed on sugar, and it. is not be- lieved that the countries now having re- ciprocity arrangements will desire to abro- gate them because the retaliatory . duties against Venezuela, Columbia and Hayti may be abandoned. Coal was on the free list in the original draft of the tariff bill in accordance with the pledge Of the democratic national plat- form to modify the McKinley law in the direction of free raw materials. \Veakcning on Goal. The protest from the 'coal districts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Alabama has been so strong, however, that some of the members of the commit- tee are weakening and may vote to re- _ tain a small duty. . Chairman Wilson hopes to present th cempleted bill to the republican members of the ways and means committee by the latter part of next week, so that they can have their majority report ready ‘upon the meeting of congress in December. Mr. Wilson’s Plans. He is not in favor of a party caucus to pass upon the bill but believes that it should be fairly considered by the house as presented by the committee. This was the course with the Mills bill, and no caucusses Were held until debate began under the five minute rule on the separate schedules. Mr. Wilson believes that the bill will be more symmetrical and con— slltont if taken up as it comes from the committee and that general debate in the house will solve some of the problems which might cause an interminable dis- cussion in a. party caucus. —————'——-'-——-'-‘V~_F‘ Elmira Roformatory' Investigation.
