August 4tU 189$. ? j 1 j "Pi Biuwps-noone raeae-ure would be siore potent f* freeing us from op pressive taxation of the past thirty years at the passage of the income tsx. This tar is right as a matter of equity. The war trriff was so laid a# to hear most heavily on the poor, being heaviest on cheap good*. ' Thus the poorest, have for: thirty veare born an undue burden i i, taxation. Kven as equity aud g >od ccn?rence ?t is right new to shift the burden and pSs.ce the tax ^ _ r n those ia???t able to hear and who t / ri?t most j>-otection from t lie gov ernment. It is not uniiklev that t ' . I _ | J Consre&s wili take some positive Action in the matter. There 6hould be no words of censure ?c>r the mob that -lynched *he three negroes in Lexington eo'nnty. That they were guilty of I a most horrible assault ?'us elearly }>rovei>, ajd one of them made a complete confession- They de served their fate, which will doubt less be a terrible warning, for it demonstrates the certainty that vwljf never an outrageous crime of *lha^kiard is committed, the as sailant wilt be lynched, and lynched speedily and without ceremony. Jcdge Hudson has derided that t -k I . Vj he had no power to hold the Dar lington dispenser for contempt, though he thinks Justice Pope's order goes beyond the statute and the rnle of Court. In his opinion t '"?] ' ?t can only he modified or vacated by application to Justice Pope hiniself, or some other Justice of the Supreme. Court, or txTLUe Su preme Court itself. 1 Congress meets in extraordinary sesiion next Monday and we hope the session will be beneficial to the whale country. Trip to the State Alliance Meeting. Ob Tuesday the 18th day of July 1898, We boarded the train at Ileath Springs for Lancaster. }Ye spent a plbasant ? eveningia^he to^n; and aH a.rn.took passage on the Narrow Guage for Kicii burg where we met kind relatives and friends at our ancestral* home . ' i^ext day we had ihe pleasure of at. ; * tending; an Alliance picric* at Wylie's . ujjpg':k^ the. eastern part of Chester ^upiy. Tfciswas one. o( the most e%" r thnitetic meetings of Alliancemen w"& ; have ever witnessed. Not less than one, ''thousand persons were present. And the table which laterally groaned under the barbecued meat and other good things for tho inner man, furnished aiun. : - dar.t refreshments fo*; the ; vast multi tude. were ftvored witlv an excel, lent address from Hon. John Gary Evans. He is in ftill sympathy with A.1 lianc.d demands , a^ set forth at Ocaia. His speech was well retired. He was followed fcy the State Lecturer, Ron. John R. Jewries, who entertained the audience in his inimatable style until s lha asEminoementbf dinner. After doing %impje justice to the ample J and rich feast prepared -by the hospita ble people of- old "Fishing Creek."

Next day sfter our arrval we were richly entertained bj a public address ?from Professor Newman. . We were surprised at the ropid progress of the work at the CcUege, and delighted at the m;Jiestatioo of harmony existing among the pupils; and in all the de~ partmente.

[From our regular correspondent ] , I * W^jkgt??s. Aug. 1st 1893, I r esirient Cleveland, nil Jti is - caHj. net. Speaker Crisp and most of <the members *>f Congress'jirill return to Washington this w*?-k, prepared to grapple with tl)e most serious condition ot affairs this c^u>ntry has !*nown Ipr years, and (fcaiocratifc es manship and, wisdom will iiLd a way out tbat will l>e safe* if it does not at first moet with the approval^ of every body, Is as cer tain as tli at Congress will meet next Monday. It is particularly notice able that this is the predomioaU ing sentiment among democratic Congressmen . ahead v in Wash ington. However wide apart they may now be they are all certain , that. some \j 4y will "be found for! getting together in the end. , Among the compromises already suggested is one that appears lo be rapidly gaining ground. Jt is to simply repeal that clause of tiie Sherman iaw which compels the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion a month by the treasury, 0/ to merely adopt an amendment to the law . authorizing the purchase of silver tovbe made or not to be made in the ^rection of the President, und to let it' go at that for a Jew months, in order to determine what other silver legislation may ba necessary. A number of Democrats who favor I the free coinage of silver have an nounced their willingness to sup- J port this compromise at the extra' session, leaving the question of fnrtlier silver legislation Lobe de t'lL-ined ai the regular session. There are not enougu menijeis of Congress yet in Washington to-j ifazard a prediction as to even the probability of the 'adoption of tljis compromise, an$vsome of those say thev prefer Raiting the re commendations to Ihj made bv President Cleveland's message be fore committing themselves. Representative Weill, of Aikansas say^: $;The Sherman silver law is vicious and ought to be repealed bat bad as it is, it is not responsible, I in my opinion, to any thing like as [great an extent for the financial stringency 03 McKinleyism is. McKjinleyism must be wiped out before the country tan -get^alli right again." \ \J <-? Tblc financial situation is Quite bad enough without exaggerating it, and the statement tbat 200 National banks have failed since the first of January, which has been widely published, ' is a gross exaggeration. , The total number I suspended has ' been 105 ? two in New England, two in Eastern states, 15 in Middtesnd Mississippi1 Valley states, 55 in Western states and of this/ number only 37 have! actually gone into the hands of I reoeivers. Of the remiander &| number have resumed business and many more have good prospects I for doing the same shortly. Mr Logan Carlisle very properly takes . issue.; with the ridiculous statement made" by civil ' service Commissioner Roosevelt as to the government cltiks being about evenly divided between the poli tical parties. M# Carlisle is chief J clerk . of the Treasury and he saysi the sxatememsf Roosevelt- is worse than ridicules when applied to that' department He says further : uTo say that teK per cent of the classified clerks in the Treasury were Democrats at the beginning of this administration would be putting the per centagc too high. In some large bureaus there was not a single Demoerat." Roosevelt's statement was " made because of Secvetarty-&arlisle!s having stated it j to be his intention-. td^-~give the Democrrts a show by dismissing the inefficient clerks in his depart ment^ Deputy Commissioner Bell1 says that Jess than *0 per cent of the classified clerks in the Pension Office are Democrats, and it would. 1 e safe to say that the percentage will not rn'n over that in any of the departments. ^Republicans," said a member of Fsmman), uare talking nonsense when the say that. President Cleve land's appointment of two Demo crats not members oi Tammany to ,be Collector and Appraiser re spectively of the port of New York is a slap at Senators Hill and Murphy and. their only object is to create dissension in the democratic party After giving Tammany the postma?tership it was perfectly natural -that Mr Cleveland should reward the wing of the party that worked foil his nomination. /As a j Tammany man I should, of course, n&ve been glad to have seen all the federal offices in New York city given to Tammany mea, but I did not expect it, and, while I have no authority to speak for either of them, I am satisfied that neitbsr Senator Hill nor Senator Murphy expected ir. They always take care of their friends when they have an opportunity and the? both have too much manhood to* attempt to make a fuss because Mr Cleveland has exercised the same orivilege I feei certain that no objection win be beard when those nominations come up for confirmation in the Senate."

We see from this j letter that from Sherman himself down to the lowest drucuuer in his army, the plundering is conducted on system, ami the bcioty shared npon established principle?. We do not think that any thing is n pessary to produce a correct conviction of the Yankee character in this, community, where it is 'everywhere written in 'characters so plain that he who runs may read, but as one of the curiosities of the times we tkought it not unworthy of insertion.

I don't let a man take my arm when he walks with me. if he doe*, I tell him I prefer him to give me his arm. 4. 1 don't go out with a man iriead just because he asks me.
