When congress meets in Dc- mber one of its first act should i to repeal the income tax as 0 uture,of thetarifT law. It is a oat unjust, obuoxious and in hisitorial tax, one that was nev- r thought of before in this coun- y ' excepting iiuder the dire ocesities of war. It embraces al) ie worst features of the McKin- 7 tariff bill that taxed nearly 0,ftO(),000 of people for tho bene f 70,000, while the income tax iw taxes some 70,000 for the onefitof s 70,000,000. It is un gual, unjust and is logically of naive to free people. The Supreme couit'so far as it as decided anything, has decided ie most important feature of the ncome tax cannot be maintain ed, while the constitutionality of the remaining futures of the law is affirmed only by an equally di- ided court. A majority of the utire court has declared all the utire court Las declared all the ncome taxes on rents 01 real state and on municipal and tate bonds to be illegal. So much of the law bas been de- clared unccnstUutional by a ma jority of the Supreme court "and must so stand. The income tax law, therefore, as it remains ' imputes no taxes ujion the very people who most deserve to pay theui, while it im p wes tixes upon those upon whom t ie government has least claim. 0:i the basis of equal taxation it is not jwwsible, in view of the de cision of the Supreme couH, for congress to make anything ap proaching an equitable taxation is one of the cardinal doctrines of free government, a future income tax is not "among the possibilities! The law is justly odious; is justly co idemned by the people; is just ly condemned by the highest court of the nation, and but one duty remains relating to it wipe it entirely from our stUut. Tb A4vasc In Kilver. An important advance has been established in the price of silver within the last few weeks. During the fortnight ending February 2:J, the price was ranging in London from 27 1-4 to 27 1-2, aud the market was reported "dull." The low price of 1804 was even 27 pence. From February 23 on the market stiffened a trifle, the quota tion advancing to 27 8-18. The lowest price touched in New York the price has been steadily ad vancing, tilt last week the Lon dun price was up to 31, and the New York price to C8 14. This is a higher, quotation than has Wen seen since 1 89.1, when silver had its great fall as the result of closing the India mint, or at any rate, immediately subsequent to the closing of those mints. Last Thursday the price was off in New York to 6a 3-4. The advance is generally at tributed to titer talk of a bimetal lic conference, and to speculation Induced thereby. But it must certainly be true that the pros pect of th early cessation of hos tilities between Japan and Chins snd consequent demand for silver forjndemnity purposes, as well as for the peaceful uses of business, has not boon without important influence.

A Child Drowned. c ' Graham GWaner. . , On last Friday the two-year-old son of Mr. aud Mrs. J. C. Thomp son was drowned at the old Grimes Mill on Mary's Creek. In Newlin's township.. Mr. " Thompson k now owns this mill and his family uvea close by. He was " doing some work on the mUl to which the child followed Mrs. Thomp son.'- 1 he latter returned to the bouse and missed the child and search was at once made. The little one was found on a plank in the race in less than eight inches of water drowned. A physician was summoned and efforts at once made to resuscitate,' but all in vain, though the child had been missed cihaps not over five minutes. - Tha Strata Lifted The Supreme court has render ed a decision on the new assign ment law. The opinion was filed last week. The construction put upon it is, that the statute makes mortgages, condition Bales, and deelsof trust, void where they are executed to prefer parties holding debts made prior to the date of the instrument. That is a debtor cannot prefer one creditor over another on " pre-existing debts. Where the consideration exists at the time of the transaction the in strument h 'valid in law and can be enforced. Monty and supplies can bo ha 1 ou mortgages as here- a a ii l a . uHurc wiut me sn-.ne saiciy. 1 nis t was evidently the punioee of the person who put the statute into existence, but the failure to make this plain was what made the elects of it disastrous. Thirty years ago-that is, on the Good Friday of 18G5 Abra ham Lincoln, president" of the United States, was acsassinated by Wilkes Booth, in Ford's The atre at Washington. The bar between the states was practi ce ly over and Mr. Lincoln had gone to the theatre for rest after a day spent in "unusually hard work. lie had reached the pin acle of his glory and fame when he was stricken down by the merciless band of the assassin. 1 he death of Lincoln threw the whole country into mourn ing, and from one end of the land to the other the cities, towns and hamlets were draped in deepest black. Those who are old enough to remember those dismal days can recall the deep bush of horror that fell upon the people when the news of the assassination first became known.. There has never been anything like it since, and it is D never may a . . t -1 . v covert d from the effects of the war and the assassination, but the final recovery was prolonged for years by the insane act of Bcoth. whose deed ranks as one of the great crimes of his tory, end the Cood Friday of 183, ith Its ghastly memories, stand in the national calendar as the darkest day of all the war time period. Let us hope that the politics of Kentucky shall not be fur ther burdened with the issue- wbat shall we do with our con federate widows? Tba ankces know how to take care of their widows, and two Confederate United States senators ought to be able to learn a lesson in wid owness from a Yankee presi dent, who took care of that Confederate widow down at a . Betsytown. A wink is as goou as a nod. even to senator m There are few smarter men in this town, says the New York Sun, than the Japanese who have taken up . their abode among us, of whom there are not many. They are quick-wit ted, fine mannered,' and well behaved persons. We have hardly ever heard of a bad man among them. They seem to be always busy, and tbey are never obtrusive. When they enter into competition with other peo pie in anything, they are pretty snre to come out of it with good luck Their artistic tastY too, is very good. One of their young students has just taken the Tif fany gold medal for the best drawing from the antique, and he took it over the head of a Urge number of trained rivals. His work was characterized by Japanese delicacy and Graeco- Roman energy. .His name is Shinlaro Yokozuka; and , : we hope that he may be but one of the Japanese artists who will flourish among us. . J : : We do not encourage the Ja panese to come to our country, and there do not seem to be many of them who desire to come; but they are a people who could teach us, a good many things, if we were able to learn the things. . The time will come when the United States will enunciate an amendment to the Monroe doc. trine, to the effect that when the people of a foreign depen dency in this hemisphere fall out as to the style of govern ment they prefer, they shall be allowed to settle the question for themselves, without inter ference on the part of the mother country. If there are not enough people of the dependency to maintain the authority of the existing governmeLt, the rule of the majority ought to prevail and the existing government be overthrown. It does not seem right that an outside force of 20,000 trained soldiers, headed by a veteran genera', should be thrown into the scale to make it turn in favor of a minority Such action is despotism and only custom gives it sanction in these days of advanced civiliza tion. -Mobile Register. .

The Cot toa Crop. tharlotla . Every year about this time a great deal is said about reducing the cotton acreage. For the past year this talk has been more gen erally indulged' in than ever on account of the low price of cotton A great many of our farmers have declared hat they would reduce their acreage from 25 to 50 ptr cent. This has been the talk. As usually happens at plant ing time, whether under the man ipulation, of shrewd speculators we cannot tell, the price had ad vanocd. The farmer takes this as an evidence that the supply is be coming exhausted and reasons that tho full price will be better in view of the fact that all li s neighbors are going to largely re duce their acreage Every one i( his neighbors tvu.-ons about the situation exactly as he does. Each one plants just as much or a lit tle more cotton than ever, think ing that he is only one who is to K that course. As a consequence when the crop is marketed it is fouud to le bigger than ever. This has been the history of the reduction in acreage from year to 1 year, that it win not do uue 'this year we have littlo nason no doubt Let no farmer fool him if $ thin matter.
