For Coroner : IOHN WALTON. OUR INCOME TAX. The Farmers Alliance and Labor ers Union which coalesoed in their meeting at St. Louis, formulated a series of demands as their political platform, and upon which they would insbt as a condition of supporting a candidate for office. The object of these demands was to benefit these two classes of people and relieve. them from some of the burdens un der which they labor, and which they rightly hold are due in the main to unwise legislation. It is somewhat remarkable that it never occurred to them to demand the restoration of the income tax which was among the first of the taxes abolished after the close of hostilities between the North and the South. There is not a man, we presume, in either of these organi nations, who is not in favor of tariff reform, with lower taxes, something which they are not getting under the tariff act pending in the House. An income tax would make this an easy matter, and would so sim plify the task of reform that it might be brought about in a little while, tariff taxation might be reduced to a mere nomi nal amount compared with what the people now pay. A graduated income-tax, which was suggested by some Democratic member early in the session, would give millions of revenue paid by people who would never fegl it. In 18G0 the population of the country was estimated at 35;000,000. This income tax law which was passed during the war to raise money to help defray the expenses of carry ing on the war, taxed incomes above; $600 and it was found that out of these 35,000,000 of peo ple there were only 461,170 who had incomes of over $600 and con sequently the masses of the people i had nothing to pay. The total of the incomes of these 461,170 people was j $707,000,000, which yielded a reve nue of $72,000,0000. v . One of the first things the Repub lican Congress did when peace was restored and they began to revise the tariff was to repeal this law, from which the- government received a revenue of $72,000,000, making it necessary at the same time to large ly increase the taxes upon some of the necessaries of life. One of the reasons given for the repeal of this law was that it was in quisitorial in its character and there fore odious. It is not any more in quisitorial than the census law passed by Congress authorizing the census takers to inquire as to how "many bunion, carbuncles, warts, &c, might be laying around loose in a family. They didn't seem to think there was : anything inquisitorial in this. The same objection is urged to the in come tax now. It might, and probably would be, odious to the wealthy who paid the tax, but it would be no more odious than most of -the tariff taxation that the people have to pay now for the benefit of the protected few. The population now is nearly 65, 000,000, and the number of people who have incomes over $600 four or five times as great as they were when the income law was in opera tion and yielded arevenue of $72,? 000,000, because immense fortunes have been amassed since then by the protected manufacturers, trust makers, and others who have had the benefit of twenty-five r years of. favoring legislation. These men to Whom the people have been paying; heavy tribute for a generation, and who have become rich through this favoring legislation, could very well afford to pay a small percentage of their incomes, which come to them without any sweat from their faces, for the support of the government which has been so exceedingly partial to them, and they should do so without grumbling. A graduated income tax which these people would never feel would yield an income of a couple hundred millions of dollars, even putting the exemption higher, and , pay all the pensions which tha Republican statesmen seem bent upon paying, and leave the tariff duties for the support of the goverriment, in which case the tariff might be cut very low, give all the protection to man ufacturers which they should ask, and relieve the people of the great burdens of which they now so justly complain. This is a lead the Alliance might follow up to some purpose. MINOR MENTION. Some of the Republican journals in the North seem to be taking a srood deal of interests in the condi tion of Mr. Cleveland's Jiealth. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from New York, says it is wretched, and that his friends are very much alarmed about it. This correspondent says that he has fallen into a state of lethargy, that his ambition is gone, and that his in disposition to take needful exercise couldn't be overcome, that he shows a disposition to sleep much and has grown moody, sometimes sitting for a long time without saying a word, all of which- taken separately and collectively are construed as signs of a rapidly approaching collapse. But Mr. Cleveland on the contrary who ought to know something about it, and whose sources of informa tion are quite as reliable as those of the Republican correspondent says he is jam up, eats three square meals a day without an artificial ap petizer, does all bis own walking, turning summersets, climbing the greased pole, scooting around the horizontal bar, throwing the two hundred pound cannon ball, &c, or words to that effect, and then by way of rest tackles and disposes of a stack of correspondence big enough to start a first-class postoffice, from which we take it that notwithstand ing the reports to the contrary, Mr. Cleveland is in pretty good physical and mental trim. The Birchall trial, to which refer ence is made in the press dispatches, seems to be creating a serTsation in Woodstock, Ontario. Birchall is well connected in England. In Lon don he made the acquaintance of a youth named Benwell, the son of a minister. This young man was iit bad health, and was persuaded that life in the open air in Canada would benefit him. Birchall informed him that he was the owner of a large tract of land in Canada, where he farmed, and as he would return shorts ly the young man might accompany him, and if he liked the land when he saw it, and decided to remain and! engage in farming, he would sell him' a portion of it. Birchall with his wife, who it seems is a modest, esti mable young woman, and young Benwell left England together some time last February. Arriving in this country they put up at Niagara, from which place Birchall and Benwell started to see the land in question. Berchall returned alone next day, and nothing more wasseen of young Benwell, until several days after when his corpse was found by. some wood choppers in a secluded morass, part ly covered with snow. Birchall was suspected of the-murder for which he is now standing trial. The plea put in in defense, is that it was a case of suicide. Mr. J. L. Wheat is postmaster of! the House of Representatives, and in addition to performing the regularj duties of his office, which we pre-j sume he does, he has an eye to busi-j; ness. It seems that he has been in creasing his revenue by tapping mail contractors, one of whom, as alleged in a resolution calling for an investi gation, introduced by Mr. Enloe, Thursday, paid him $150 a month on a $5,000 yearly contract. Eighteen hundred dollars out tf $5,000 was a pretty liberal tap, and shows that Mr. Wheat is none of your Small men. It was stated, however, by way of defense by his Republican friends that "Mr. Wheat wasn't the inventor of this knock down process, but that it came, down to him in regular succession from his predecessors in office, but that he had more conscience than, the other follows, had debated the matter with his conscience, and when he became satisfied that the money was "" not properly and legitimately his own he covered every dollar into the Treasury. Exactly how much rea soning was required to convince him that he had no legal right to an $1,800 steal of that kind is not stated, nor is it stated when he came to that conclusion, whether it was before or after he smelt a mouse, and the idea crawled through his skull that some one had caught on to it, and that a resolution of in quiry might be offered. It is stated that the conference committees have at last come to an agreement on the two remaining points of contention, sugar and binding twine and sugar below No. 16 remains on the free list, and twine which the Senate put on the free list pays three quarters of a cent a pound duty. The House committee which had been insisting upon one cent comes down a quar ter. The kick against free twine came from the twine makers of New England, who protested that they would be ruined if twine was put upon the free list, and hence to pla cate those New England twine twisters, the western farmer is com pelled to pay them three quarters of a cent a pound on the twine he binds his grain and sews his sacks with. When the tariff tinkers have their say and it comes to a tilt between the farmer and the manufacturer, the manufacturer gets there every time. CURRENT COMMEN So far only fourteen Alliance candidates have been nominated for Congress in the South. It was sup posed that there would be a much larger number. Four of these are from Georgia. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. The Force bill is needed In Columbus, nd. The colored people out there have taken their children from the white schools and insist upon having a separate building and teachers of their own color. Wash. Star, Ind. It costs the Republican lead ers nothing to give negroes offices by unseating Democratic Congress men, but they are never known to sacrifice one of their own place-hunters or place-holders to a colored man. N. Y. World, JJem. Yet this queer result is seen; while Democrats are expected to re main in the House, locked in if ne cessary, in order to insure a quorum sufficient to unseat other Democrats, there is a host-of Republican mem bers who do not trouble themselves to be present to assist m passing measures of a party nature. Alto gether, this is a curious outcome of the Speaker's early success in defin ing and securing the rulings that en couraged the expression of the mi nority. N. Y. Commercial Bulletin, Ind. WORKINGS OF THE NEW LAW. Express Companies Carrying Lottery Moil Matter in Stamped Envelopes. Washington Star. The statement sent out from New Orleans to the effect that the Louis iana Lottery Company, now that it is excluded from the use of the mails, will transact its business through the express companies is causing some discussion among Post Office Department officials. They state that the lottery company has-been making use of the express companies recently to a large ex tent. It is also known that the lot tery company has availed itself of the law which allows express com panies to carry mail matter inclosed in government-stamped envelopes. It would appear that this provision of the law offers to the company an opportunity to carry on its business through the medium of the express companies. But another clause of the same law authorizes the Post master General to issue an order in his discretion- prohibiting the com panies from carrying mail matter in government-stamped envelopes. A simple order would, it is said at the Postoffice Department, put a stop to this entire business, and it is highly probable that an order ot this kind will shortly be issued by the Post master General. The express companies, however, can still carry lottery matter as they do the ordinary package. An indi vidual or the lottery company can also place in the mails lottery matter inclosed in sealed envelopes. If, however, it can be proven' in either case that lottery matter was actually mailed or transported, then the par ties so offending can be prosecuted under the law. Epoeh. "The transition from long, lingering and plainful sickness to robust health, marks an epoch in the life of the indi- vidual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many feel they owes their restoration to health to the great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 80c and $1 per bottle at Robert R.

A quiet little game of poker 'was played in this city last i night by six distinguished ; gentlemen, each- of whom is known. as an expert. The result of the game adds an interest"-. irig incident to the history of poker playing, and was the subject of much gossip in the Senate cloak room and other genteel resorts to-day. There was nothing particularly remarkable about this game except the fact that two of the players were pitted against each other and each held -one ot tne strongest nanas ever turned up in poker. The party met in one of the well known up-town hotels, and the players were Senators Quay and Cameron of Pennsylvania; Far well of Illinois; Dave Littler of Spring field, ex-Pacific Railroad commis sioner, and ex-Senator Sewell of New Jersey. It was a $10 limit game, and there had been three raises before the draw, when all the players went out ' except Senators Cameron and Farwell. Mr. Cameron stood pat and Mr. Farwell drew two cards. Then the fun began. The gentlemen who had with drawn saw that there was a fight ahead, and eagerly scanned the faces of the rivals. The sympathy of the party was largely with Mr. Cameron, for the reason that Mr. Farwell is reputed to be one of the best poker players in the United States, and the very best in Washington. Dur ing the past few months he has come off victorious in a majority of games he has played. His victims included several of the gentlemen in last night's party, and they were rather anxious to see Mr. Cameron ijet satisfaction. They were not not disappointed. When Mr. Farwell saw Mr. Cam eron stand pat he at once concluded that he was bluffing and he started in to catch him. It was Mr. Cam eron's bet and he went to the limit. Mr. Farwell saw him and Don bet him again. Each saw that the other meant business then and they settled down to work in earnest. Mr. Cam eron continued to bet and Mr. Far well continued to raise him until the process had been repeated by each of them ten times. Then Mr. Farwell became compassionate and, dropping his cards, said: "See here, Don, I dou't want to carry this thing any further. I have a hand here that is simply invisible, and it's foolish to buck against it. I don't want to bet further on a sure thing. Remember, I drew two cards." Then the players all looked eagerly to Mr. Cameron to see what he would do. Don has great nerve and told Mr. Farwell to go ahead and play his hand for all it was worth, but Mr. Farwell would not take ad vantage of his colleague, arid with the remark that he did not want to rob a man, he said, "I call you," and carelessly threw on the table four aces. The gentlemen of the party, who had been in suspense all this time, drew a sigh of relief and turned sympathizingly to Mr. Cameron. Don did not need their sympathy, however, for he quietly spread out before the astonished gaze of Mr. Farwell a straight diamond flush, seven spot high. Mr. Farwell's only remark was, "Well, I'll be damned!" and Mr. Cameron drew in the pot, which contained a little more than $200. Every gentleman present ex pressed the utmost surprise when they witnessed these two remarkable hands, and each of them said that in his long experience as a poker play er he had never seen two such hands pitted against each other. The same opinion was expressed by all the Washington poker players who gos siped about this noted game during the day, A LADY OF MANY GIFTS. Mrs. Rudolph Aro 113611 is a Sort of Ad mirable Crichton. New York Press. Mrs. Rudolph Aronsoh, the wife of the manager of the Casino, is a sort of Admirable Crichton. She draws, she paints, she plays, she sings, and she- "sculpts." She has recently completed a terra cotta bust of her very haudsome husband. The likeness is most marked, the work is wonderfully strong and wholly un suggestive of the amateur. Mrs. Aronson is a pupil of St. Gaudens, who ranks her among his "first best." In addition to all these gifts and ac complishments, Mrs. Aronson is a distractingly pretty woman. Her eyes are as blue as turquoise, her skin has the transparent fairness and the tints of a conch shell, her pretty little teeth are like pearls, and all this facial perfection is framed in pale golden hair. Mrs. Aronson is little and young just on the other side of her teens. She is an excel lent linguist, an omnivorous reader, and she has a younger sister as pretty as herself, with a voice over which Theodore Thomas enthuses. A HAPPY FATHER.

POLITICAL POINTS.

We are the importers of HE-NO TEA. We propose increasing its sale in Wilmington. Not by praising it, but by giving you, free of all cost, enough HE-NO TEA to last a week. " The proof of the pudding is in the eating." An old adage which suggests another, "A word to the wise is suf ficient." Send us a postal card with your ad dress, and, for a limited time, we will mail any one in Wilmington, free, a pack age of HE-NO TEA, and an interesting book about tea. You risk a postal card. " We risk your liking the tea so well that you will continue to use it. If you do not we make a loss. Thus we show our con fidence in the merits of HE-NO TEA. MARTIN GILLET & CO., (Established iSir.)
