Flying rumors, during a heated campaign are not news and will not be found published in the columns of the Husft.fr of Rome. If Harry Hill’s story is true, then he should be executed for be traying the confidence of the wo man. The Philadelphia Record ask 8 this pertinent question. “If the World be day by day a better world to live in, why is it that death by suicide becomes every year more prevalent?' Hurry Hill’s “beauty of person” stands out in striking contrast to the distorted deformity of a selfish nature and a low and cowardly soul. He is a black-hearted vil liau. The assistant attorney general xias ruled that letter carriers are exempt from Jury duty, not that (hey are not “honest and iuteli geut' and otherwise qualified—for • they certainly are.

A STRONG SPEECH. 1 Perhaps the ablest speech in fa vor of the income tax was the one t delivend by Congressman John ' W. Maddox,of the seventh district. ‘ Judge Maddox argued that the ( best way to meet the deficit in our treasury caused by republican extravagance and a revenue tariff, would be to tax the incomes of ( the wealthy clashes, instead of i taxing the necessaries of life. Th* ■ objections that an income tax w >uld be inquisitorial and a war measure and would tempt men to commit perjury were met and ful ly answered by the Georgia con gressman. The point was made that in most states where personal property is tsx«d the statutes are inquisitorial. The taxpayers have to make out a list of their person al property, and as they have to swear to these lists they have to face the perjury temptation. The inten a revenue tax and the na tional banking system are war measures, but they have not been objected to, on thia ground by the opponents of the income tax. We need thia just and equitable tax. says Judge Maddox, to par tially remedy some of the evils of the present system, under which the masses are growing poorer, while the classes are growing rich er. In 1850 the farmers owned more than half of the assessed wealth of this countr'-, but in 1890 they owned leas than one fourth of it v not deducting their mort gage indebtedness. This state of affairs would not exist ui.der equal laws. It ia main ly due to the demonetization of silver, the special privileges grant ed to monopolists, the protective tariff system, the pension business and the extravagance of the gov ernment. The question now is whether we shall tax wealth or want, whether we shall make the consumers pay all the taxes or call upon the heretofore untaxed bondholders to bear their just and proportionate share of the public burden. Congressman Maddox’s views are so sound ami so thoughly in accord with public sentiment that he has the solid support of his constuents and there is no talk of an opposition candidate. We do not know a southern congress - man who is more closely in touch with his people and the democratic masses of the country, and we do not know of one who has made a stronger and a more convincing speech in favor of the imeome tax. The democrrtic platform has no more loyal and able advocate than the brainy representative from the sev enth. CRACKERDOM NUGGETS.

Only two cases were tried,|one against G. S. Turnly for disorderly conduct. He was fined $7,50 The other was against a Compu ss negro named Kit Ware. Kit had said dammit in the pres ence of a colored sister and was fined $2,50. The Hustler of Rome was not fined for saying “Dam the Etowah” I therefore consider that this paper is still in the swim. I cant imagine why “statis cian’’ Cooper, and his paper, the Tribune, continue to pereue Mr. John Vandiver and Mr. Jake Moore. The “Trib” seems to want to make these two gentlemen fa mous, as it never misses a chance to publish a “iumor” when their names are in it. * * * Mr. George Johnson, who is vis iting his brother-in-law, Mr. Hal Hawkins, in the Fifth Ward, lost a SSO bill on Saturday night.
