justment of our currency affairs, he
should have been more explicit, for
his siiene* on the subject tends to
bear out the assertion of those who
have stoutly avowed his opposition flnan-
to this proposed measure of

Of the income tax it is sincerely to
be regretted that tbe president said
anything at all. for his advice, if act¬
ed upon, will play havoc with the
party. The president favors an in¬
come tax on corporate investments.

his endorsement of the tax ou

sibly some ol them will grow frantic

ablest preeldemiul messages of the country, to con¬

The president’* counsel that Anno
cial legislation should not be early
undertaken, is sound, but it was
very generally expected that he
would advise the repeal of the ten
per cent, tax ou State bank circula¬
tion. Thdt he did not do so does
not convince ue that be is opposed Dem¬
to the repeal of this tax. Tbe
ocratic platform distinctly aod un¬
equivocally demands traaWHwt tJjatAbj* tax
be abolished and we con¬
gress will repeal it at an early day.
President Cleveland, we are eore,
would not withhold his signature
trom such an act, and under proper
restrictions it would tie'the means ol
great financial relief.

WssirxxoTorr, Dec. 5.—One of the most
important incidents of the coming con¬

more influential eastern congressmen ot
a series of resolutions having for their
object thscecorery by the United States
of the vast soma of money— estimated at
over 1100,000,000—which for many years
have been withheld illegally by the
Pacific railroads.
These resolutions are now, being pre¬

while as a matter of fact, by a system of
leases and collateral investments, the
principal stockholders, were enabled to
amass enormous fortunes. Since the re¬

NATIONAL LEGISLATION.
Kr. Hoar Want* to Know What the Presi¬
dent Said to warn.
Washimoton, Dec. 5.—After some
routine morning business, Senator Hoar
introduced a resolution calling on the
president for copies of the instructions
to Minister Willis and Admiral Irwin
touching Hawaii. It went over at Mr.
Sherman’s suggestion, because of Mr.
Morgan’s absence.
Mr. Dolph, in conformity tbe with notice
given, then addressed senate npon
that part of the preaident’s beginning message with re¬
lating to Hawaii, an ex¬
pression of surprise forcibly at overthrowing the president's the
persistence in
provisional government in defiance of
the almost unanimous sentiment ot the
press. The meeting of the senate finance

mittee indicated that there will this probably
be no financial legislation the at tariff session, is dis-

general drift of the talk of tbe senators
who joined forces in securing the repeal
of the Sherman silver purchase act
showed plainly that there was to be no
resurrection of silver legislation and no
pushing of financial measures of anv
sort or character.
The tariff was the meeting. the principal topic of
discussion at tariff
Should there be hearings on the the
when the bill comes before senate,
.or should these hearings be commenced
now, were the questions propounded, ad¬
and which, when the committee

Senator Voorhees will have charge of
the tariff bill in the senate, and has ap¬
pointed the following subcommittee on
the tariff: Jones, of Arkansas, chairman;
McPherson, Vest, Aldrich and Allison.
In the Hook.
The bill confirming the titles to pri¬
vate cub land entries in Alabama, Mis¬
sissippi and Arkansas was token np and
discussed. The bill involves the resto¬
ration of 2.922 acres.
The committee on ways and means de¬
cided to take up the tariff bill next Mon-
day, giving the repnbliuan members the
tatorvening time to ccnmdor the new tail
and comparisons.

ABOUT INCOME TAX.
Partial
i of Opinion.
WAHHiNOTOff, Dec. 6,—The New York
World has a'prrtial poll of congress on
tbe income Mx. One hundred and sev¬
enty-three members were interviewed.
Of these 71 favor an Income tax in some
form. Bixty-two oppose it, flAi aro
against it, but may reconsider, while 88
asked to be excused from expressing an
opinion. The answers serve to show
very dearly that the income tax ques¬
tion has a geographical phase, the T
representatives Who come from
are opposed to the income tax by a south large
majority. Those coming from the
favor it by an even larger majority,
while those from the west are more even¬
ly divided with the majority for an in¬
come tax. The following table shows
this; j.
Eastern representatives — For. 8;
against, 84; undecided, 1; non-commit¬
tal. !i.
Western representatives — For, 84;
against, 81; undecided, 8; non-commit¬
tal, 19. For, 88;
Southern representatives —
•gainst, 7; undecided, 2; non-commit¬
tal. 9.
Of the 71 answers favoring the income
tax not many were specific as to the
minimum of the income to be taxed.
The drift of opinion, however, seems to
be for 15,000 as the limit. Many insist
that it shall not be so low as to catch the
income of most skilled laborers. The
majority of those who favor an income
tax favor a graduated income tax. The
majority of the house is undoubtedly than for
a personal income tax rather a tax
on corporations.
CHATTANOOGA PROPERTY.
Ifew York Has m Claimant to Valoabl*
Real Estate There.
Binohampton, N. Y., Dec. 5.—Mrs.
Mary H. Smith, of New Milford, Pa.,
commenced an action at Chattanooga to
recover title to a block of Chattanooga
lota to which Alderman George S. Bar¬
ker, of this city, the Chattanooga Trust
company, and five other Chattanooga
banking institutions now bold the title
deeds.
Mrs. Smith bought the broperty in
January. 1891, through her son-in-
law, Charles T. Tipton, a former resi¬
dent of this city. On Oct. 28^ 1891, Tip-
ton, it is alleged, forged and filed a deed
transferring the property to himself,
and then sold the lota to Alderman Par¬
ker and other defendants in the suit.
Tipton also, it is alleged, forged several
notes and swindled Chattanooga people
out of about 980,000.
The defendants claim that the deed
transferring the property to Tipton is
not a forgery. Ab the real estate is
worth a large sum, a hard legal fight
will take place.
Tipton’s wife recently secured an ab¬
solute divorce, and he is a fugitive.
Both families are prominent, socially.

of the Berks ocmnty bar, has been ar¬
rested on a charge of making false repre

from them to the extent of over |30,000
by misrepresentations as to the valne of
the property owned by him.
Lost Twelve Member, or His Family,
Louisviixe, Ky., Dec. 5.- -Two years
ago, when A. J. Stnhrk moved to this

12 children, all healthy and happy. One

The Fresh Discord.
Port Townsend, Wash., Dec. 5.—
The barkentine Klickitat, Captain Cut¬
ler, has just arrived from Honolulu, with
advices to November 20, four days after
the steamer Alexandria sailed for San-
Francisco.
In an interview published in the Even
ing Star, Minister Stevens is reported to
have said:
“You are authorized to state that no
change in the present situation will take
place for several weeks. 1 brought with
me certain instructions from the United
States government on the Hawaiian sit-
nation, bnt since my arrival contingen¬
cies have arisen, about which neither the
United States government nor myself
were aware when I left Washington.
“I have thought best to submit these
matters to Washington before original proceed¬ in¬
ing further to carry out roy
structions. No one need fear trouble,
and no statement lawlessness will the be permitted,” annexation¬
This gave
ists much satisfaction, and the royalists of
were much displeased. On of account the
the manv rumors current con¬
templated action of the queen’s support¬
ers, the provisional government found it
necessary to keep two companies nights of sol¬
diers under arms for several after
the Alameda sailed.
Continuing, Minister Willis said;
“I mean that until the time comes for
me to carry out my intentions, tfip
peace and good order of this the comnmnity
will be kept undisturbed in interest
of Oi humanity, mimanuy, and aim that umi any attempt
