Passage of the Wilson Bill.
The present House of Representatives
was elected in 1892 and its Democratic
majority is understood to have received
its instructions relative to tariff legisla-
tion from the Democratic convention of
that year. It is to be assumed, there-
fore, so gEeat and decisive is the vote
of the House in favor of the Wilson bill,
that the passage of this measure is an
act of obedience to the instructions of
the Chicago platform. There are those
who claim that this- platform contem-
plated the adoption of a tariff for re ve-
nue, and not such a radical reform as
to lower the tariff below a revenue basis.
The Houseevidently construes its in-
structions in a different way, as mean-
ing legislation in the direction of free
trade, with only incidental regard to
the revenues of the government.
In obeying its instructions, so inter-
preted,the Democrats have not only ex-
ercised a right,,but performed a duty.
There might have been something in the
way Of suggestion to our Democratic
friends in the result of the elections of
1893, but nothing therein in the nature
of binding force. They were chosen the
year before for the express purpose of
repealing that “atrocity of class legisla-
tion”—t-he McKinley law and so far as
possible at the south end of the Capitol
they have done their appointed work
with an extraordinary degree of pluck
and unanimity. To this exeut they have
won the applause of their Democratic
constituents, if the latter are now of the
same way of thinking as they were in
the last Congressional campaign, and
can go to the country with at least the
claim that they have discharged their
trust with consistency.
But willing as the Democracy of the
country may be to shoulder the conse-
quences of this legislation, as being in
the line of their political professions
and party faith, we very much mistake
the temper even of the Democratic
people of this country, if they do not
call their representatives to account for
cumbering the reform bill which they
have l0 long demanded with an obnox-
ious rider in the form of an income tax
which they are on record as having al-
ways antagonized.
In what platform, by what conven-
tion, through whose authority, [on what
principle Of justice or equity, is Con-
gress authorized, after having passed
an act to create a deficiency, to pass
another act of odious memory,of doubt—
ful constitutionality, of Populistic
origin, and of sectional characteristics,
to help make up the shortage?
Defective as the Wilion bill unques-
tionably is, inequitable as many of its
schedules are, wantonly as it menaces
the credit of a government that is
already driven to borrow money for its
support, its “culminating atrocity” far
greater than the atrocity of the Me-
Kinley act, is, remarks the Washing-
ton Post, its resort to class legislation
still more iniquitious for raising reve-
nues that might readily be raised under
an honestly and fairly adjusted tariff.
The bill itself, without this incum-
brance, will prove a heavy load for the
party to carry. With it, the load will
be unbearable.

Our Revenues.
With a growing deficiency staring it
in the face this government, through
those who are legislatively responsible
for its present conduct, is searching for
considerable additions to its income,
‘ and after more or less thought the ma-
jority have come to the conclusion that
atax upon incomes will do much to-
ward filling up the unsightly hole in
the treasury. The proposition is, how-
ever, extremely unpopular save with
two classes—those democrats who im-
agine they see in it the Only relief for
an embarrassed administration and the
populists, who, as a rule, have no in-
comes large enough to be taxable.
Even among loyal democrats there is
“opposition to the tax, in fact, the more
loyal the democrat the less is the en-
thu‘siaSm on this interesting topic. It
is admitted by those who are convinced
that tariff duties must be lowered that
the deficit will have to be made up
through the agency of internal taxa-
tion, but as soon as that point is reached
there is instant division and diverg-
ence. It is more than difficult to un-
derstand the processes by which in-
come tax advoca s can have satisfied
themselves that they alone have reached
the true solution of a. most intricate
problem, especially when history makes
plain the antagonism with which Amer-
icans greeted an impost similar in gen-
eral outline to that now proposed. In
an exhaustive review of income-tax leg-
islation, published in the Annals of the
American Academy, Prof. Frederic C.
Howe of Johns Hopkins University
says that “few taxes were more unpop-
ular or odious to the people than the
income tax. From its first imposition
it was assailed as invading the sanctity
of the most private affairs, as being in-
separable from inquisitorial scrutiny
into business relations and an insuffer-
able penetration into those affairs of
the individual'which were in a sense
sacred, and which in the past had been
exempted from the visits of the excise
man. It was further alleged, with some
truth, that a tax which offered such Op-
portunities for evasion was a charge
upon honesty and a premium upon false
returns.”
But there are other reasons why no
such tax should be levied and among
these is that which shows sectional in-
equality and proves that the burden is
on the class that deserves exemption——
the successfully industrious and thrifty.
Of course there is not so much dispar-
ity between the north and the south as
there was during 1867‘ when one collec.
tion district in New York received
more than twice as much income
tax than was collected in all the
states of Virginia, Texas, Tennessee,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Miss-
issippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,
Arkansas and Florida, but comparisons
startlingly similar will surely develop
if the extremely unpopular attachment
to the Wilson bill becomes law. Con-
ceding that the Wilson bill will render
increased internal taxation necessary
and insisting that the most undesirable
impost is the income tax, we must turn
to the only other products now regard-
ed as fair subjects for assessment——
whiskey, malt liquors and tobacco.
Those articles are now a source of con-
siderablc revenue and they could pro-
duce a still greater sum without caus-
ing anyone much inconvenience and
without affecting either the price or
the quality of the articles. The tax
upon beer has been an insufficient. one
dollar per barrel for more than thirty
years. Discussing the advisability of
increasing this tax, Prof. Howe calls
attention to the fact that one dollar per
barrel is equivalent to an ad valorcm
tax of twenty per cent. or approximate-
ly one-fifth of a cent per glass. “In-
asmuch as the article,” says he, “cm
be produced at an average cost of from
one and two-thirds to one and three-
quarter cents per glass, and sells at
retail for five cents, this is manifestly
an insufficient rate as measured by
what other commodities entering large-
ly into consumption are taxec.” The
conclusions reached by the professor
are that the rate of distilled spirits
should be increased to $1.25 per gallon,
the rate upon malt liquors from $1.00
to $2.00 per barrel and the rate on
cigars and tobacco to twice the present
assessment.
total receipts from the three sources
named amounted to $159,000,000; with
the increase suggested—and to, which
but little sound opposition is possible
—the revenues would reach $253,000,000,
a total that would relieve the govern-
ment of any possibility of financial
embarrassment. But as the House has
passed the income tax bill and the dem-
ocratic majority in the Senate are
quoted as favorable to it, there is little
chancc of Prof. Howc’s far more sensi-
ble method of raising the needed reve-
nues being enacted as a law.

The most serious accident occurred
on Clay street hill, South Norwalk, at
about ten minutes to eleven o’clock.
Here Victor Ferris filled his large dou-
ble ripper, La La,with a gay party and
started down the decline. Before he
had traversed half the hill he shouted
to those'behind him to roll off, as he
had lost control of the ripper. Young
Ferris rolled off as did another one of

The “deadly i‘iyer” was the property
of Frank Finch. On the ripper when
it started from the top of the hill were
seated Lewis Hyatt, James Ituscoe,
Harrold Clark, Maud Edmunds, Ella
and Lizzie Dagou. Young Buscoe who
was steering the sled, when half way
down the hill lost control of it and
it dashed into a pile of rocks and briers
near the bridge and was upset, and the
riders and sled were piled up in a con-
fused heap.
_ The others present on the hill at the
time rushed to the assistance of the in-
jured. ones and picked them up. On
examination it was found that young
Hyatt had received an ugly cut on the
eye, Buscoe a cut on his right knee,
and Finch several cuts on his face and
left leg. The Dagon girls were not so
fortunate, Ella receiving a cut on the
forehead that required four stitches to
close, and severe abrasions on her face
and chin, and Lizzie a bad wrenching
of her left leg and several scratches on
her face. She is confined to her bed.
The escape was a narrow one for all
concerned.

Men may be absolutely without one

position, yet you may rest assured that
nothing so chafes and irritates them as
this same failing in a wife. Bun down
shoes, soiled linen and a tlireesdays’
growth of beard may be” all right for
them according to their views, but
when the feminine head of the house-
hold appears in shabby slippers, an old
wrapper and hair 'in curl papers they
express their feelings upon the subject
in unmistakably forcible language.
As in attire so in matters of the
home. Though the masculine mind
may sec nothing wrong in tossing arti-
cles of clothing into just those places
where they. do not belong, provided
the clothing consists of trousers, vests
and socks, there will be a bluish tint to
the atmosphere if by chance my lady’s
shoes are not put away in the closet or
her jacket is allowed to rest for a few
moments on chair. or sofa. -
All this argues that, whatever. fail-
ings a man‘ may see fit to indulge in,
he does not want his wife to follow suit
in the very slightest degree. Therefore
women of fact should humor these lit-
tle idiosyncracies, and though .they
may not be able to reform the husband,
at least show by example what is the
correct thing to do, thus keeping up
his and their own respect at the same
time.

to suppose that a husband Will make

shocking an example of slovenliuess

fatal, injuries, and seven people were

WATERBURY, FEB. 3.——The books of
the West Side bank are hopelessly con-
fused and an expert is now going through
them. The late treasurer, Gordon B.
Lawrence, was displaced a few weeks
ago and now nothing can be made of
his accounts. If any shortage is found
it is believed that Lawrence’s bond of
$10,000 will cover the bank from loss.
In addition Lawrence has deeded con-
siderable valuable property to protect
his bondsmen.
PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 3.—The physi-
cians in attendance upon George W.
Childs, have issued the following bul-
efin;
“Mr. Child’s condition has changed
for the worse and is now extremely
critical.”

hour this morning.
Mr. Child’s illness dated from Thurs-
day, Jan. 18, when he moved in from
his residence near; Bryn Mawr. On
that day, about 5 o’clock, as he was
preparing to leave his office in the Led-
ger Building, he was seized with what
was pronounced as an attack of vertigo.
