R. and republi- |} can nominee for governor in 1892 | Harodsburg, Ky., Dec. 28.—Thos. Ransdal, a well-to do farmer living near Bohon, Ky., woke this morning to find his house in flames. He jumped out of bed, carrying his baby with him, at the same time calling to his wife to wake their three children, who were sleeping up stairs. She went to follow his instructions, but the house collapsed and she and the three children per ished. The house and contents were atotal loss. The father is frantic with grief and is now almost a raving maniac. Gov. Lewelling of Kansas, has re- moved Mrs. Mary E. Lease, presi dent of the state board of charities, from office. The governor said Mrs. Lease was a disturbing element, and he found it necessary to retire her for sweet harmony’s sake. When asked what the effect of Mrs. Lease’s forced retirement would be, the gov ernor replied he did not know, nor did he care to speculate. The govern or chopped her head off, but he can’t kill her mouth. Mrs. Lease says the administration is rotten and there is no doubt but that she 18 about right. Kansas to-day with the exception possibly of Colorado, is the worst governed state in the Union. The cause of our hard times can be summed up in the following sen tence: The New York City banks now hold deposits of $475,000,000— more than one-third the entire sum of money, gold, silver and paper, in the United States. Broadly speak- ing this fact may also be said to be one of the effects of hard times. First, the money was hoarded there and made hard times, and then after hard times came each of the owneis is afraid to let loose his hold for fear of a general crash. If some one can origivate some plan by which all of the depositors will be willing to turn his holdings once more into the channels of trade or commerce then we will have good times agaiu.—Ex “Democratic hard times:” foolishly shout some of our republican con temporaries. What rot! Every in- telligent person ought to know that the vast amount of distress among the people throughout the country is but the inevitable result of the mal tegislation of the republican party for the past thirty years. It was years ago foreseen and pointed out by such democratic statesmen as Col. Morrison, but the republican bosses continued to look after other interests than those of the great masses. The duty of the democracy now is to right the outraged wrongs as speedily as possible. Legislate for the whole people.—Springfield Express. Wheat has continually gene down in price since the passage of the Mc- Kinley bill. Wool has done the same. The price of horses and many other things have gone down in like man- ner. Many of the shopg and factor- ies have closed under the workings of the McKinley high tariff. and we have had a financial panic that has been disastrous in the extreme. All those things have happened under a high protective tanff that Mr. Mc- Kinley solemnly told the country would insure good times. There seems to be ro alternative but to re peal this law and give the country a chance to recuperate from its bad eftects. Let the work be done quick ly, and every body who wants good times should insist upon its being done without delay.—LeRoy (Kas.) Reporter. Shot Through The Heart. of the fatal act.

As a result the tariff bill will be introduc immediately upon the reconvening of Congress, and its most seusation- al feature will be the imposition of a tux of 2 per cent upon indivdual in- comes over $3,000, and the earnings of corporations. The representatives who voted for the income tax were: MeMilliv, Tarsney, Whitney, Bryan, Bynum and Turver. Those oppos ing it were: Wilson, Cockran, Stev- eus, Montgomery and Breckinridge. The eleven members of the com- mittee were present when the final meeting was held at the Treasury department at 4 o'clock. But little time was wasted in discussiow. The ground had all been argued and fought over time and time again, and the issue was joined on two prop- ositions, one to levy a tax of 2 per cent against individual incomes over $4,000, aud against the incomes of corporations (that is, the difference between the gross income and the Operating expenses, or, in other words,the net income,) and the prop- ositio: offered as a substitute by Mr. Cock1an to tax the incomes from cor- porations 1 per cent and iuheritances 5 per cent, to place a tax of 10 cents on whisky, and to restore sugar to the dutiable list at half a cent per pound. The vote on Mr. Cockran's subst:i.u‘e proposition, which was taken first, resulted in its defeat, 7 to 4 us fellows: Yeus—3i. esrs. Cockran, aid Montgomery. Nays—Messrs. McMillin. Turner, Whiting, Bryan, Bynum, Tarsney and Breckinridge. Th» original proposition was then subuitted and carried by a vote of 6 to 5. INCREASING TAX ON WHISKY. It was also decided in connection with the latter proposition to in- crease the whisky tax 10 cents per gallon; that is from 90 cents to $1, to be levied against whisky in as well as out of bond. Upon the rep resentation that this increase would work undue hardships to the owners of whisky in bond, it was decided to extend the bonded period from three to eight years. The tax on playing cards, at one time fixed at 6 cents per pack, was reduced to 2 centr, aud the contemplated tax on per fumes and cosmetics was discarded. No increase was made in the tax on cigars,but the increase on cigarettes, $1 per 1,000, was allowed to stand. The committee estimated that the tax on the ivcomes from corporations and individuals (corporations being treated as individuals) will raise $30,000,000 revenue—$12,000,000 from corporations and $18,000,000 from individuals. The increase in the whisky tax, it is estimated, will give an additional revenue of $10,- 000,000 per annum. The proposed tax on inheritances, which was to be levied in case the prooposition for an individual income tax failed. was not deemed necessary. A loud shout of approval went up from the democrats from the south and west as soon as the action of the committee had been made public tonight. An income tax has been popular with democrats from these sections The only opposition to it has come from the east. With the sole exception of Representative Cobb, each member of the Missouri delegation favored it. In the Texas Georgia and Alabama delegations, and generally throughout the south ern states, petitions had been circu lated and almost unanimously sign- ed, asking the ways and means com mittee to incorporate it in the bill. In this connection, it may be said that the internal revenue features and the customs schedule will be jointly considered and collectively presented. Stevens Hon. T. J.

Gresham Slated for the Supreme Bench. Washington, Jan. 1.—Strong con firmation was obtained today of the report current last week that the President contemplates the reorgani- zation of the Cabinet. The news came direct froma Democratic Sena- tor in the confidence of the adminise tration, 1s to the effect that Gresbam will b- placed on the Su- preme Court bench ay a means of disposing of the Hawaiian question. First it is proposed to put the pension problem out of the way by appointing Comwissioner Loehren to a circuit judgeship. Probably the President will go no farther at pres ent than the trans'ation of Gresham from the board of bis advisers to the bench, but every indication strongly points to such a course being taken at an early day. aud 8.

In announcing the sale | the company stated that their ae pose was to remove certain accumu | lations, and that when this was doi e “the only serious problem with} which carpet manufacturers would } have to contend would be the high price of wool caused by the McKiu {| ley bill.” Continuing they said: “R -; member high prices for wool means | high cost to manufacture carpets.” There should be no kick against the Wilson vill from the carpet manu facturers. It gives them wool free} of duty. They have sold abroad in competition with British manufac | turers under the McKinley law thus proving that they need no protec- tion. But the Wilson bill gives the | carpet makers free wool and a pro. | teotive duty of 35 per cent.
