FREELAND, PA., JUNE 15, 1893.
If Congressman Tom L. Jolisnnon,
tbo fearless champion of free trade
ami single tax, should be favored with
tho nomination for governor of Ohio,
wouldn't there a rattling of dry bones?
Single tax speakers would fairly
swarm in that old moss back ridden
state and McKinley would como to
the conclusion that sheol had opened
its doors for a holiday.
Among the interesting measures
enacted into law during the recont
session of the legislature the Satur
day half-holiday act is prominent.
Hereafter every Saturday afternoon
of the year will be a legal half holiday.
Beginning with tho banks, the ob
servance of tho new holiday will
doubtless spread throughout all com
mercial and industrial circles. It
will be easy to adjust the operations
of trade to an arrangement already
sanctioned by the world of traffic
during a considerable part of the year.
Eq mil Rights, of Mahanoy City,
says: "Tax lots according to their
value and lots become cheaper, but
tax the potatoes raised on lots and
potatoes become dearer. Isn't that
funny? Tax lots and acres according
to value and wages go up; tax the
things that grow on lots and acres
and wages go down. Isn't that fun
nier?" And if there are any who
doubt this let them call at the TRI
BUNE offico, where they can obtain a
little hook that will explain the mat
ter in away which any person can
understand. Copies free to all.
The printing of envelopes by the
government for business purposes will
be abolished September next, and the
$250,000 annually paid for this work
will hereafter be distributed where it
belongs—among the printers through
out the country. There is no more
sense in the government printing en
velopes for business purposes than
there would be in the government
starting a clothes pin factory or in
sisting on lettering all tho tombstones
sold throughout the country. The
work belonged io the printers and
the law should have been repealed
long ago.
In conversation with Congressman
Henderson, of North Carolina, Post
master Oenoral Bissell announced
that the rule requiring charges to be
preferred in order to secure the re
moval of fourth-class postmasters
would hencefort apply only in thoße
cases in which the incumbents bad
not served four years. This rule is
somewhat broader than those hereto
fore laid down by the postmaster gen
eral; and will doubtless be resented
by the opposition organs as "another
Democratic outrage." Yet there was
ample warrant for the new rule iu the
reason assigned by Mr. Bissell—the
amount of time consumed in investi
gating the charges. And even with
this freer swing Mr. Maxwell's ax
cannot hope to break the record of
decapitations established by tho late
administration. Butitwill, no doubt,
do the best it can; and this is all that
could in reason be expected of it.—
Record.
The railroad companies have seem
ingly taken the position that every
body who cares about seeing the
World's fair will go, regardless of the
rate charged to get there. It is un
derstood there will bo no reduction
in the fare to Chicago, neither will
the companies run excursions or offer
inducements of any kind to people of
limited means. Fast trains and full
fares are their hobby just now, but if
their managers believe the railroad
coffers are to be filled without some
thing else to attract passengers they
are likely to be mistaken. However,
as the rush over the railroads has
not yet been so tremendous as was
expected, it is not too much to hope
they will get their thinking caps on
before long and give the people an
opportunity to see the exposition at a
reasonable cost. With the railroads
in the hands of the government the
fare could for this occasion at least be
placed down to actual cost, thereby
giving everybody who desired a chance
to go.

An Income Tax.
It is reported that tlio next congress
will pass an income tax bill. This idea
is opposed by the influential press of the
east and favored by many of the news
papers and statesmen of the west. The
Idea of a graduated income tax is also
popular in the south.
Those who oppose this idea claim that
it would impose a burden only upon the
comparatively few who have themselves,
by their greater ability, energy and en
terprise, gained wealth, while at the
same time contributing to the riches,
power and dignity of the nation. They
claim that it is an unfair tax and can
not be successfully defended on any
ground. Further objections urged are
that it would be a most fruitful source
of lying, as the untruthful would avoid
payment by making false statements of
their income.
But there is another side to the ques
tion. An income tax can be defended
on the ground that it will secure a wider
diffusion of moderate welfnre, and it
will act as a levolor, smoothing off the
extremes of poverty and wealth. In all
questions of this kind the feelings and
the rights of individuals must bo sub
servient to the general welfare. We
make laws forbidding the shooting of
game and catching of fish at certain sea
sons; they may bo unjust to the individ
ual, but they are a benefit to the mass.
So likewise we grant franchises and
often benefit individuals, ulthough it is
not done for this purpose, but to sub
serve the welfare of the many.
The question of an income tax must
be considered from the same standpoint
—not as to its effect upon the individual,
but its effect upon tho people at large.
An income tax has been levied by the
United States but once in its history,
i and then it was established because of
the necessity for revenue caused by the
civil war. An act passed in 1801 created
a 8 per cent tax on incomes of SBOO per
annum and over. The rates of taxation,
the amounts of tho incomes taxed, and
the proportion of the income exempt
from taxation, were averaged by various
acts, till in 1873 it was abolished.
During the 10 years the law was in
operation nearly $350,000,000 were col
lected. There is no particular need of
such a law at the present time to raise a
revenue, but it is tho right and tho duty
of tho government to do everything that
lies in its power for the general well
being even to the extent of sacrificing
the individual,
Noah's Ark 1.1 Sills.
They are turning out some largo
wooden sailing vessels in our home ship
yards this (season. Some of them are
four-masters. But after all some of the
wooden ships of olden times were larger
even than tho steel steamships of the '
present day. One of Ptolemy Philo
pator's carried 4,000 rowers, 400 sailors
and 0,000 soldiers. But this even was
nothing to n ship constructed by Hiero,
that old Syracuse tyrant. This is re
ported to have had all the variety of
apartments of a palace—banqueting
rooms, galleries, gardens, fishponds (as
if there were not fish enough just out
side), stables, mills and ballrooms. It
had eight towers with walls and bul
warks and one machino of war which
threw a Btone of 300 pounds a half mile.
It seems that there was no port in Sici
ly capable of containing this vessel in
safety, so Hiero had to give it away.
Such vessels as this will compare very
favorably with tho leviathans of tho big
ocean steamship companies of the pres
ent day.
If, however, larger ocean steamers yet
appear, as is reported, there will be
nothing to compare with them if we ac
cept Noah's ark, which still has the lead
as to size.
Thero is sometimes room for honest
differences of opinion concerning the
making of improvements that must
needs destroy historic sjiots, but thero
seems to ho little chance for two views
regarding the project of those who would
deface tho field of Gettysburg by tho con
struction of a trolley railroad through
tho grounds. The preservation of Get
tysburg in tlio same condition as it was
when tho awful struggle took place Is as
important to the defeated as to the vic
torious, and it is an encouraging sign of
the times that tho proposed improvement
is generally regarded with indignation.
Probably Lewis Morris will be the
poet laureate of England. Ruskin has
apparently declined the job. Morris is
an estimable gentleman, but not much of
a poet. Ah, a great light went out when
Tennyson died. He was as completely
separated from all other poets that now
live as the Caspian from all other seas.
The cruiser New York is the fastest
naval vessel afloat. Yet she is built to
fight and not to run away. She is the
most remarkable warship that skill and

A New York Herald Editorial.
The story that the Now York Herald ,
property is to be turned into a stock j
company and capitalized at $2,000,000
was a ridiculous one. The Herald is ! j
worth five times $2,000,000. It seems ,
that the absurd report was started by ,
Keuter's news agency, and an editorial ,
in The Herald the other day, evidently ,
inspired by Mr. Bennett himself, states ,
that unless a categorial denial of tho ro- -
port be made legal proceedings for libel |
will be instituted.
The editorial referred to is a breezy (
one —thatis to say, for The Herald, which ,
turns out a rather dull editorial page as (
a rule. Mr. Bennett says:
Tho Herald today is at tho height of its pros
perity, and any syndicate having for its sols '
object making raonoy could easily earn 8 per !
cent on $20,000,000 by taking off extra expenses |
for siH'cial cabling, reducing tho extraordinary
salaries of S2O,<X)O, which some members of Tho 1
lie raid staff receive, cutting down also some |
of the $15,000 and SIO,OOO salaries and curtail
ing many of the $5,000 salaries, besides numer
ous other economics that would at once be ef
fected, supposing The Herald to lie simply a
corporation like an ordinary railroad or fac
tory.
The present proprietor, it is true, has in view
tho formation of a co-operative society, but
one for the sole benefit of the members of Th
Ilorald staff, including the general manager,
city editor, news editor, night editor, all edi
tors, correspondents, reporters, artists, cashier,
clerks, foremen press and comitouing rooms,
proofreaders, compositors, printers, exchango
readers, shipping clerks, telegraph clerks, ad
vertising clerks, messengers, porters, firemen,
machinists—for they aro all members of The
Herald staff, are they not?—and not for any
etoek Jobbing or speculative purposes, as has
been done so often in England and America.
This co-opcrativc socioty may lie formed at
any moment by tho proprietor whenever he
thinks proper.
AH to tho withdrawal of Mr. Bennett's
name from the title page, it is intimated
that the name of the pajier and its own
er are synonymous. As to the names of
Messrs. Rowland, Reick and Henderson,
the general manager, city editor and
night editor respectively, Mr. Bennett
says they were "placed there by the pro
prietor because he reserves the privilege
of selecting his own executives and de
sires credit to be given whore credit is
due."
All of which does credit to Mr. Ben
nett. Time was when ho did not feel
that way—\\jien he would allow no
one's name but that of his own on tho
title page. The man who does not change
his mind never corrects his mistakes.
Ex-Cathedra Opinion.
If corporal punishment should bo abol
ished in schools, why do experienced
teachers unite in saying that this form
of discipline is a necessity?
If we want information or opinion of
value on things eternal, wo naturally go
to a clergyman. If we want to learn
Boinetliing about a machine, wo go to a
mechanic, and if we want to know some
thing about printing we go to a printer.
We don't take much stock in what is
said by those who know little about
these matters. But when it comes to
the subject of corporal punishment in
schools we listen to almost anybody who
can get tho public prints as a vehicle for
their theories.
While the old system of flogging for
every trivial offense was wrong, tho prac
tical abolition of corporal punishment in
schools is just as great a mistake. There
are certain bad boys who fear nothing
but physical pain. Pleadings or sarcasm ]
are wasted upon them. They laugh at
any attempt to enforce moral lessons.
Then they demoralize other boys and
make discipline an impossibility. Again,
the only way possible to reform the vi
cious criminal is a sound thrashing.
On tho question of corporal punish
ment public opinion should back up
those best fitted to be judges—tho public
school teachers. •
And the "Winds Blew.
Though winds blew great guns, still he'd whis
tle and sing,
Says the poet. But it is often difficult
to keep up tho courage and good spirits
that way when signboards aro flying,
( roofs aro becoming animated, trees aro
giving up their precious branchos and
, electric wires become a delusion and a
snaro to pedestrians.
Tho violent and destructive wind
storms of recent date in various sections
of the country are unwelcome disturl)-
auces. The ultimate cause of the wind
is to be found in differences of atmos
pheric diversity produced by the sun in
its unequal heating of different localities.
• But atmospheric circulation is as neces
sary to health as sunshine or rain. As wo
cannot prevent it if we would, and we
would not if we could, let us be as phil
, osophical as may bo while keeping build
i ings and secure as possi
i ble. Probably tho worst of the wind
! season is past unless abnormal weather
should continue, which is unlikely.
"Love rules the camp, the court, the
grove" and the Salvation Army. That

mitted suicide, could not have chosen a
more rugged road to death, albeit it was
a short cut.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., is reported
to bo engaged to her physician, but a

the allegation. Perhaps the young wom

TRULY ASTONISHING.
IK the Growth unci Hold of the Tobncro
Hublt in Tills Couutry.
Much lias been said of the curses of
intemperance, the use of opiates, etc.,
while another evil, greater because it is ,
more widespread and quiet in its deadly
results, has been ignored. We liuvo
reference to the tobacco habit, to which
the public mind is being slowly aroused.
Tobacco in any form is injurious. At j
first it is used sparingly, but the desire
grows until at length a habit has been
formed, a demand has been created
which cannot be thrown off except by
the exercise of the greatest will power.
The growth of this habit is one of the
alarming developcments of the age.
Such a large percentage of the men of
today use tobacco in one form or another
that the may be said to bo universal.
Out of 10,(100 men not over 400 will bo
found who are free from it, while boys
who are not out of their teens stand
around on the streets chewing and smok
ing with as much gusto as an adult.
The evils which follow the use of to
bacco are many and very serious. Few
habitues will confess the truth until
when their system is broken down and
completely wrecked, they are unable to
make further concealment. The nerves
become shattered, sleepless nights, im
paired eyesight, disordered Btomacl),
vertigo, palpitation of the heart, throat
trouble, facial neuralgia, catarrh and
paralysis are almost certain to follow the
excessive use of the weed.
It is not uncommon to hear men ack
nowledge their in ibil ty lo reform and
thus they drift along towards an early
grave. I)r. Hill, a man of great pene
tration, soon discovered this evil and af
ter years of patient continous research
and experiments, gave to the world, his
celebrated chloride of gold tablets, one
of the greatest blessings known to mod
ern theraputics. These tablets are en
dorsed by the medical fraternity and pre
scribed by physicians in their regular
practice. They are a sure cure for the
tobacco habit in any form and are pleas
ant and harmless in their composition.
The patient is not required to exercise
his will power, but continues his old
habits until he rejoices in the discovery
that his appetite is gone and he has
been rescued from his perilous position.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
ANACONDA, Montana, June 7, 1893.
EDITOR TRIBUNE.—To you. and tl e
many readers of your paper I beg to be
excused for Bending this letter such a
distanco in the hope that my excuse wi 1
be sufficient when my object is to try
and encourage a writer of the TRIBUNE. I
I noticed in "Mary Ann's" letter where
two youug ladies had a fierce battle with
a snake, and that she was timid about
advising them. Why are you so timid?
You know you have conquered mo and
besides there may not be another in that
vicinity to give you so much pleasuere in
answering them as I have done. So
conquer them all, Mary. When you
made such a lovely beginning do not
stop until they recognize you as the big
"I am." For it may look a little sus
picious if you stop so soon after gaining
such a brilliant victory.
I might mentiorr that I dreaded the
very idea of ever answering your letter
i until I noticed that you needed cn
: couragement, for I was afraid that the
people might think my mind was affect
ed. I will conclude with best wishes to
all and in the hope that this one will not
have to be translated, as it may bo the
; last from sympathetic BOBBY.
