Prospective candidates for mayor

fact of their candidacy to the wait

When Judge Clark in hia inter-
view says: "The party did not go to
pieces on men" he intimates that
the Damooratio party has gone to
pieces in this state. In this the
judge is as badly mistaken as by his
own showing he used to be in his
views on finance. The Democratic
party has not gone to pieces hut is

let. The banks are in first-class
condition and finances are easy.
2 J. As prosperity in the South
depends upon agriculture and as
cotton is the most reliable and cer-
tain money crop known to agricul-
ture I attribute oar prosperity to
cotton.
3d. I can only answer for Texas
which I think is the best place in
the Union for outtide capital "as
values are steadily enhancing and
will be for half a century before tho
farms are all opened and supplied
with all they need.
Uh. Our laws in Texas are favor-
able to the introduction of foreign
capital especially in that all debts
cm bo closed with a deed of truest
and in cases of sales no equity of
redemption exists.
3th. Fanning on a large scale.
Farming with largo capital on a
largo ficale holds simo advantages
over small farmers as other lines of

The IncomeTax.
The Democrats of the ways and
means committee have done well in
voting to tax incomes. Their action
is in perfect accord with the essen
tial principle of the Democratic re-
form policy which is to tax luxuries
anl untax necessaries.
In the present state of the treasury
necessaries cannot be untaxed with-
out providing for new revenue. In
seleuting incomes as one of the new
sources of revenue the committee
han placed the tax where it will
burden none and relieve many. The
limit of exemption ought to be raised
to $5000 and the nite should be
progressive on larger incomes. But
the limit is less important than the
principle.
No valid objection has been or
can be brought against an income
tax.
It is said that it is a war tax.
But is not one-half of the uational
expenditures on war account? Is

It is urged that such a tax is
inquisurrial. It is not more in-
quisitorial that tho reports of com-
mercial agencies It is not half as
inquibitorial as the tariff law nor
nuro so than the internal revenue
system.
It is still declared that an income
tax is "monarchial." But this
chatter from the parrot's cage does
not require an answer is there
any tax that a monarchy does not
levy when it needs the money which
it will bring? Shall wo abolish

tated Mi'Kiuleyism or sunender

spirits because England taxes theso
articles?
It is asserted that tho tax will
bo unpopular. How can a tax bo

IMMIGRATION AND THE SOUTH.
It iB plainly written on the face
of present southern conditions that
immigration is one of its nearest
aud most urgont needs. Hitherto
tho drift of population both home-
born and aliou has been west and
north. In response to this influx
huge areas of territory have boeu
reclaimed from primitive solitude
and state after Btato addeft to tho
sisterhood of tho republic. Tho
footprint of man has neon tho track
of western empire and in response
to pick and plow wealth and pros-
perity have spread like a fan from
Maiuo to California So far tho
Moses of tho modern exodus has
had hia face to the west. The next
march is southward. Here lies tho
area of an empiro the climate of a
Canaan and tho resources of nearly
half a hemisphere. Man is the only
faotor missing and how to get him
there and to get only the right
kind is one of the vital q lestions
of tho hour. The Age of Stool.
If tho people who compose the
tide which for tho last twenty
tivo years has boon running like a
river from Kurope aud New Eug
land into tho freezing northwest
are wise they iwill not wait for a
Moses but of their own volition will
turn their faoes to tho rich prairies
aud genial clime of the sunny
South.
A recent dispatch from the seat
of war in Brazil eays Admiral
Mello is wounded and is also suffer-
ing from an attack of beri-beri.
Just what tho latter complaint is
and how dangerous it is is at this
writing unknown.
Mr. Cock ran really think that this
is a plutocracy where wealth rules
not men?
None of theso objections has any
force. Tho common senhe of tho
people sees at once that a tax on
large incomes is just and that it
cannot be oppressive. Its imposi-
tion would not only put tho extra
burden upon those bust ablo to bear
it but it would conduce to economy
in tho govornment by enlisting the
direct interest of the wealthy class
in keoping public expenditures
down. N. Y. World.
The Tomb of Confucius.
The oity of Chufu-hsien tho
Mecca of the believers in Confu-
danism is in the province of
dhangtung one of the inoBt popu-
lous districts of tho Orient. Here
Confucius was born and here his
sacred bones lie buried. The tomb
which is looated in one of the
largost cemeteries in tho province
about three miles out from the oity
above mentioned is one of the
most imposing in the whole Em-
pire. Tho grave .itself isBiirmounted by
an earth mound about 12 feet in
height tho whole surrounded by a
cluster of gnarled oaks and stately
cypress trees. Before the mound
is a tabloti about G foot broad and
20 foot high upon which is in-
scribed the name and deeds of the
groat founder of Confucianism a
religion adhered to by over 400-
000000 human beings. The burden
of this inscription according to
reliable translation is "Perfect
One" "Absolutely Pure" "Per-
fect Saga" "First Teaohsr"
"Great Pnilosopher" etc.
The avenue which leads up to the
philosopher's tomb is even more in-
teresting than the aotual place of
burial itself. On each side of this
avenue are rows of figures of huge
animals out in stone lions tigers
elephants and horses besides
numerous mythical creatures such
as animals half dog and half frog
beasts with four legs and twice as
many wings besides a multitude of
unnamablo monsters that never
lived on tho earth in the water or
in tho air. Taken altogether the
burial place of Confucius is one of
the chief cpots of interest in the
Orient. St. Louis Republic.

Detroit Journal: Many officials
sit down on fraud just as if they
thought there was an inverted tack
on it.
Gilveston News: We have in
this country all sorts of people be-
sides some who have never been
classified.
Atlanta Constitution: Put an
eleutiio motor under the Wilson
bill. Then adjust the trolley and
turn the current on.
Dotroit Free Press: Harrison's
presidential boom has made a brief
appearauce and is now peeping from
behind tho curtan waiting anxious-
ly for an encore.
Milwaukee Journal: Suppose the
Northern Paoitic employees should
all be sent to jul for contempt of
court and the United States obliged
to pay the expenses.
Omaha Woild Herald: There is
a tinge of contempt in the announce-
ment that four of the delegates to
the recent irrigation convention at
North Platte were milkmen.
Washington Post: There are
some very good reasons for sus-
pecting that Mr. Dick Crokor has
experienced a wonderful weakening
in his "public-bed d" department.
Where was O'FIynn?
A Judge of the Massachusetts
superior court has a habit of allow-
ing his voice to drop so low that his
words can with d tHculty be heard
says tho Youth's Companion. The
story is told that ho was sentencing
a prisoner at Liwrenco not long
ago when a man in the courtroom
shouted:
"Speak louder your Honor!
Speak up!"
' Si?nd thai man out of the court-
room Mr. OflL-er said the judge.
The order was obeyed and the
prooredings went on.
"Call the nxt 03H0" said tho
judge when he had finished with
tho prisoner in whose case the in-
terruption had occurred.
"Terence O'FIynn!" called
clerk; but Mr. O Flynn did
rise. The crier called him
there was no answer and the
cer of the court began to
tho
not
but
ofli
look
about.
It was discovered that Prisoner
O'FIynn had disappeared aud his
absence could not ha accounted for
until some one said:
"Miy it please the court Tor-
eice O'FIynn was the man you just
sent out for shoutin' to the judge to
speak up."
