"TAXED TO DEATH."
Every barrel of beer pays nn Inter
nal revenue tax of $1, of whioh about
SO cents are spent In pensions. Each
banel contains four kegs, and each
keg about 100 glasses. Therefore, a
man has to drink a whole keg of beer
before he pays 25 cents Into the treas
ury, of which but 7J cents go for pen
slons. He pays the barkeeper 5 for
his beer before the pension fund geta
7 cents. This Is the way the "people
are taxed to death to pay pensions."
The Internal revenue tax on
whisky is 90 cents a gallon, of which
about 30 cents goes to tho pension
fund. The average prlco of whisky is
10 cents a drink, and there are about
iO stiff drinks in a gallon. A man
1JU
i as to pay the barkeeper fully $20 be
fore hecontrlbutes 30 cents to the pen
sion fund. This is tho wny tho people
are "taxed to death to pay pensions."
Tho tax on cigarettes is 50
cents per 1,0(0, of which about 15
cents goes to tho pension fuud. A
dude has to smoke three of these a day
for nearly n year, and pay the tobac
conist $10 for them before he con
trib the support of the
brot ans of the war.

but tbo consent of tbo trustees of the

hoped that thero will bo no difficulty in

A few days ago I uttorod a mild prolet

under tho direction of tho Jowish Alliance.

Work on the Lithuanian church, at tho

is to bo n magnificent structure, is being
pusnod rapidly. It can bo llnlshed none
too soon, as Bobbins' opera houso is packed
to suffocation overy Sunday, when tho

danger of having a hall with but one
means of entrance and exit packed iu such
a manner is by no means slight.
Whon tho gamo season opened we wero

to drive a laundry wagon and some cue

locked tho door, whllo Mrs. Lawless or
dered the boy to hold up his hands. Loon

My remarks concerning Citizens' party
a few days ago has stirred up several of
our prominent politicians and tbo question:
"Shall a Republican or Citizons' ticket bo
placed in the field next spring?" is airoady
undor discussion. To my mind tbo day of
usefulness of tho Citizons' party is past.
As an Instrument tor gain by tbo Demo
crats It is as a first clas article, and It is liko
a mill (tune around tbo nocks of tho Re
publicans. Democrats and Republicans
claim the right to take part In the Citizons'
primaries and tbo Democrats always
manage to fix tho dates for holding their
primarios tiflor tho dates fixed for the
others. When the Citizens' primaries aro
held they are paotod with Democrats and,
frequently, thero havo beon more Demo
crats than Republicans In attendance
Having flxod tho Citizens' party ticket tho
Democrats then go to their own primaries
and nominate a ticket calculated to knock
down that which thoy belpod to build In
tho othor primaries.
Somebody remarks that, "Thero are
several prominent Democrats in this town
who will veto for the Citizens' ticket, but
will not support a Republican borough
ticket." True. But must wo support h
Citizens' ticket and court doleat year in
and year out to accommodate these gentle
men ? The results of the last two spring
oloctions showed clearly that tho Citizens'
party is nothing but a humbug and, at bost,
Is only a weapon the Republicans pi co in
the hands of the Democrats for their own
laughter. m
V
Of what uso havo tho soveral prominent
Democrats who will veto fur u Citizens'
ticket, but won't vote for a Republican
local tickot, been to tho Citizens' party the
past few years?
V
Lot us taho tho past threo years. In
1889 the Democrats said to themsolvos :
"This year we'll elect our Chlof Burgess
and Tax Collector and give tho Citizens'
tho tail end the High Constableship anil
Borough Auditorship," so they elected
Mulbolland and Schmidt and allood
David Parry and J. S. Williams to go in.
In 1890 tho Democrats said: "Wo'll hold
the bead office and wedgo in a borough
auditor," and they did re-olecting their
Chief Burgess nd Tax Collector and
putting Doyle on tho board of borough
auditors, leaving tho High Constabloshi
and a borough auditor, to pick what conso
lution they could from them. Then 1891
arrived and tbo Democrats put their beads
togother again and concluded, "Wo have
held the Chief lturgoss lor two yearn, eo
wo'll lot tho Citizons' party havo it thin
year, but for tho sacrifice wo must have a
good return," and they got it. They sur
rendered tho ofllco of Chief Burgess, but
swallowed tho Tax Oollectorship, tbo High
Constableship and made the mombots of
tho board of Loroueh auditors two Demo
crats against one Republican.
...
Now where, during tho past three years,
have tho prominent Democrats who could
not allow themselves to vote for a Repub
lican borough ticket display thoir strongth?
I feel satisfied that had tho Republicans of
the borough held primaries, as Republican
primaries, and shut tho doors against th
Democratic primary packers they could
accomplish as much, and in all probability
much more, than has boon accomplished
during the past throe years under tho ban
nor of tbo Republican party.
...
I am convinced that u Republican stands
as good chance to bo elected in a borough
contest under tho Republican banner as bo
does undor tbo Citizuns'. Whon Lossig
ran for Chief Burgoss last year and was
olocled ho was rocognized as tho Republi
can candidate In fact the term "Citizens' "
dropped with tbo close of the primaries
and tho two tickets wero looked upon as
and callod Democratic and Republican.
...
Let tho Citizen farco bo brought to a
closo. Let the Republicans resolve to hold
their own primarios for their own benefit
and, with strong men to tho front, lot thorn
mako a fight under their truo colors. Thoy
certainly cannot faro worse than tho Citi
zens' party has the past threo yoars and its
chances for bettor success aro by no means
few.
