Who is contemplating an In vestment In a Boufhem cotton mill, for instance? Do you expect him -to regard your advocacy of this to* as a Joke, or have you considered that he win accept your Mtajtamont ns tuv evidence ot ike anlagonlam of our people to cap ital invested In copporntloni?

If-we need additional faoto- rier, MhnUM we not endeavor -to en courage niWi'-r ithfln to deter peoplo from invesang in their shores. * There is another suggestion which seams pertinent here. Tile absentttion of nil men Is in favor of the proposi tion, I think, that few flucceed In cre ating good incomes for themselves without recognizing fully the rights of oil others. The mnn who will take ad vantage ot his neighbor In a business transaction will soon be regarded as dlsluracnt; and when n bad reihitatirn uttaclies to him he render* It tmisisst- bl\- to secure the cooperation and us- alstnncn of men who tire able to help him 111 his business. No young man can succeed without the help of those who ure alio to help him. Dishonesty tit last la nothing more nor less than a disre gard of or a failure to recognize tho common rights of other men. The man who advocate* nn unjust taw ts desti tute of the moral sense that ts inherent In every honest mnn. He may uot be ubte to trace the effect of his depravity upon Ills buedneo*, but, at last, If the truth were known, hi* failure, if lie be competent, ts due to the fact that he cannot command the supi>ort and as sistance of men of means. The income tax Is contrary to every principle of equal rights, if you advocate a penalty ot 5 per cent, upon every mtvn'B income of over 54,000 you may, witti .equal pro priety, advocate an lacrosse of the pennity t« 10 per cent, or to 50-p r cent,, or you may comtlscnte his entire In come. The polioy ts not only dishonest, but tn tho end will defeat the pur poses of those who seek to enforce it. it was never Intendad to relieve the traor of burdens. It does not stretch out the helping hand to the honest, strug gling man. It will not make tlie pocr richer, but tho rich poorer, and was so Intended. It Is sectional, and inten tionally so. It strikes the men upon whom the South must no only depend for nil the lussistnucc, llnnnolally, Khe needs for the future, but uiran whom she Ms always roll'd In the past for flnanclnl help.

It 1ms never boon advocated In time of peace by any political platform save tho Top- nllais. Tlio DcmoctYtey, for Us want of principle In dealing with tills measure and for Its want of sense In dealing will everything else, went down In tho lest elections In Ignominious and, I am frank to say, I hope permanent de- frnt. The party has shown that It has neither the principles upon which to conservatively legislate tor tlie publio good, nor Mho intelligence to oompre- htikl the effect* of Us own folly. I do not prop vie to pay nn hicomo tax until lira supreme court of the United States decide* thru I must do so, and if I pay It nt nil. I propose to set nside nn amount equal to nil payments on tills account to be used for the defeat ot the party which dishonestly seeks to Inlllct this lnjiistcc upon me.

An income tax is altogether right or It ia altogether wrong. If our Taws do not recognise that It should bo enforced upon all Incomes or none It can never bo said of them that they are bose-l upon the principles of equality and Justice. The spirit of seml-soeialliMn that honey comb* the country and upon wldch Fouth- em demagogues have hased'lhls law will prove as destructive to the laborer's cabin In the end as the fortune of the million aire. One cannot be protected in his property and Income without protecting the other. Tbs conditions of Ben not determined by organic or statutory laws. Individuality, energy, honesty, self- reliance, the power* of combination and Intelligent business judgment are factors In every successful career. Ho long as these qualities aro possessed by men in varying degrees they will meet with dif ferent measures of success. It was never intended that the government should set bounds above or below which no man should be permitted to rise or fsIL Leg. Iskition based upon the proposition that success and fortune should be limited on the one hand, or that poverty shall be as arbitrarily restricted upon tbs other, Is contrary, not only to the laws of God and nature, but to the experience of the world. Organized sodety-.can do Bo more and should not seek to ao moret than to establish the same laws for the govern ment of all. If these laws are Juit, if they offer to every man toe same privl. leges, the same protection, and guaran tee to him the same rights, they^tiecom- pllsh all that It is-possible to accomplish tn this respect. Jf they seek to do less or if they seek to do more, they fall to protect or they Infringe the natural rights of all men, and legislation that drifts away from this slmpls principle, if pur sued, will end In aoclat chaos.

COLOR OF THE ARAB HORSE. "Tile kings of horseklnd are those ot dark color” is an Arab proverb, while another Eastern saying is that "one should be slow to buy a chestnut horse and still slower to sell one of that color whloh haa turned out well.” If wc visited a horse fair in Meath or Yorkshire It would be easy to find plen ty of farmers and dealers who would recognize in these sayings from n dis tant land opinions which they cherish just us warmly us tho Arab of tho des ert. IVe sec this similarity, too. In the defects of the two races. The disease known as spavin Is prev alent among Arabian horses; It ts a constant ailment likewise of the Eng lish hunter and the English race horse; is Is a disease, so to say, of the speedy horse, of that which Is much galloped. Curb and ringbone, also diseases with which the horse owner in the country Is only too familiar, are equally well known to toe Arab, and the foot, which lq our day Is so frequently tho sent of lameness. Is also, though apparently not to so great a degree aa la the West, troubled with’ defects. But into these technical details this is not the place to enter; tt ts sufficient to say that the qualRIes which go to make a good horse are the same all over'toe world, and, though tlie Arabian horse has some features which give him a char acter of his own, yet, so far as the qualities of a good horse are concerned he differs little from hi* Western brother. We must not, however, pa** away from the typical Arabian without a word as to color. "In England an an tiquated Idea lingers that the authentic Arab must be gray.” Such an Impres sion may, perhaps, prevail among persons altogether Ignorant of horses, but the sport ot racing in India has so Increased our knowledge of the Ara bian horse that sounder views now ex ist anrang horsemen. Twro extracts from Gen. Twvedee’s work will give all ihe information that is needled upon this point. IHs highness the late Amir Fai Sal of NaJd, who was a high au thority on Arabian heroes, stated that the flneu "may be of any color; that the prevalent color among the first blood wus various shades of gray; that, on the whole, color went for little and height for nothing, and that blood was everything." Another author sums up the matter thus: "Practically the Ku- hatlan colors are bay and chestnut and the numerous different shades of gray a-nd roan." Into- the relation o-f oo'.oc to temperament it is impossible here to enter. Kuril u discussion, Interesting ns It would be to ho lover of he horse, belongs not only to- the Arabian, but to the equine race all over the world.— Edinburgh Review. WORK WAS NOT FOR JOSEPH. : Rather Than Lower Himself He Went to the Houre of Correction. Joseph Grand, who has no home, lJut Is the possessor of thirst out of all pro portion to his means for slaking It, stood In tho dock at the Central Sta tion yesterday and lounged on the rail in an attitude that made him look like a living picture of Weary Waggles. The man was in trouble, because he had refused to saw wood at the Way farers' Lodge In payment for his driok, food ond lodging. Superintendent Brockman testified to that, and Grand was asked what he bad to say. “Do grub was n. g.,” said he, "an’ I had to sleep on de floor. Would I work for dat? Nit.

Certain persons In Kern county alone have been and aro now killing on an average eight coyotes a day. The number killed in that county during tile two years is 0,875. The law paying a bounty of $5 for each coyote scalp lias a provision which requires the county clerks of the dif ferent counties to make out a state ment every three months of the amount of scalp claims presented and mall tlie same to the stato oomptroiler. Theeo statements are entered in a book kept for toe purpose, and form tin interest ing record of the immense slaughter that is going on of these pests of to) sheep-herder and farmer. The largest number killed in any three months was in K-ern county dur ing the quarter ending Decemfber, 1892, when 1,850 scalps were taken. During toe. quarter Just ended 1,300 were killed, whldh shows that In two years there has not been a very great falling off in the number. Second to Kern ooun- ty comes Tulare with a record of 4,793 In two years. Tho number for the first quarter Is 997 nnd for the last 530. Pan Diego follows with a record or 3,513, which hills from 1,174 In December. 1892, to 331 in September, 1894. Modon has a record of 3,087, Fresno 3.643 fund San Bernardino 1,794. Other counties whldh show n lunge slaughter of coy otes are Lassen, Los Angeles, Monte rey and San Luis Obispo.—Sin Fran cisco Chronicle. Faro Food. Butterlne in a much abused product As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited tho factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas City, manufacturers of tho widely ad vertised Silver Chum Butterino. A five Story building is perfectly fitted for tho scientific preparation of thl3 food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances arfe the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of (an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made'tlio skillful combination of pure sweet fats - tho study of his life. Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York, City, says: “The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as a most valuable article of food,” Prof. J, S. W.
