fO IEST"BLISHID 1865. NEWBERRY.,___S._C_,__WED-NESDAY,__JUI =RB'S REPLY TO YARLEY. Somebody has been Telling what Is not se-Who to it that has bee Prevareat Sag tbeasae , the Adjutant Gen eral, or James f. Tillman ?-Let the PubUe Decide. [From the News and Courier.] * A few days ago acommDunication was pubUshed in the several daily papers from Gen. Farley, abusing me for sup posed wrongs I had done him. I can not engage in a personal abusive con troversy with Gen. Farley or anybody else. The public are not interested in such literature, and therefore do not expect mein this reply to engage in any such blackuardism. The public, however, havea right to be informed as to the truth tor falsity of any. state ment at alleged fact that may be con tained in Gen. Farley's article. There are only two statements of moment in the letter as I read it. First, that I dictated to my private secretary anarticle which appeared the iecoad week of March in the Augusta Chroniele; signed "Craddock," without the consent or knowledge of the person who uses that nom de plume. Second, that I inspired an editorial which was written by Mr. W. T. Crews in the Laurensville Herald. The first charge is as ridiculous as it is false. The idea of a personwith a thimble full of sense forging the name of a newspaper man is laughable in the extreme: but I am willing that the public should know the whole truth about that "4Craddock" letter: Mr. James H. Tillman, son of Con gressman Tillman, was, about the date of the "Ciaddock" letter, the corres pondent of the Augusta Chrouicle in Washington, and "Craddock" was his nom de plume. On Saturday, just one week atter the inauguration of the fresdent, Major William T. Gary, of Augusta, and Mr. James H. Tillman came into my sitting room at the Na tUoa Hotel. Major Gary said to Till man that what he had told him a few moments before ought to be repeated to Irby. I asked what it was, and told the foHowing tale: That he had just left the Metropol ita& Hotel, where he had a long con ,evation with Gen. H. L. Farley, who. had remained in Washington since in auguration. He said that Farley had red him a long abusive communica tion addressed to the Reformers of South Carolina, showing that Tillman and Irby were unsafe, unwise, extreme, dangerous leaders, and that the Reform movement could not be perpetuated .itho=t throwing them ov.erboaid and K. putting more conservative leaders in friont. H~asked Tilman to publish it in the. Augusta Chronicle with his (Farley's) nom de plume, saying that the plecewould attract much attention, create a great sensation and at that, at the-proper time, he would come out and assume its authorship. Tillman said that he refused to publish it unless be would allow the editor of his paper to know thie author. He told Tiliman that that was the opening gun in the campaign next year against Tillman's and Irby's leadership of the Reform -mnovement. - He- further said that the following slate bad been arranged and r greed upon : That Gen. Butler was run for re-election to the Senate ; Shell was to be supported by the Conserv atives, or Antis and milder Reformers for Governor ; and that he (Gen. Far le- iy) was to run for Congress in Shell's -*district. He said they would like to get Talbert into the combination, but that it could not be arranged unless TmIman would agree to let up on and support Talbert, and, in that way get the Conservatives to support Talbert for re-election. Farley offered Tillman a place on the ticket as Adjutant and Inspector General if he would go to his father and make the arraggements by which he would not oppose but sup port Talbert's re-election. (As this time everyone in Washington knew that the Governor and Col. Tiilman were not on speaking terms.) I asked Mri TiUman.what his reply to Farle) was,-and he amid that he told Farley that blood was thicker than water, and C he would be d-d if he would go back onhis uncte for Butler or anybody else. I asked him if this was a newspaper fake or the truth, and hereplied: "To show you that mean business, ill pub lish It ini full." There and then he wrote the piece signed "Craddock." I did not have anything further to do with it ; did not see it any more until It appeared in the papers; thought - nothing of it until the following week, when I heard him read a certificate from some one to the effect that he (Jim Tmlman) had written' and was the author of the "Craddock" letter. That night in my room between 9 and 10 o'clock, while Dr. Pope and I were -talking, Jim Tillman came in, and I asked him to rehearse the whole tale to Dr. Pope, which he did, exhibiting the "Craddock" letter, and saying that it would go off by telegraph in a few minutes. As to the piece referred to from the Laurensville Herald I can only say that I1 knew nothing of it until I saw it in print. The subjoined letter from Mr. Crews on that subject will explain it self. In conclusion I will ask the public to think of thing only : Why did not Gen. Farley ask me for an explanation, if he believed what he pretends, to be lieve of the assumed wrong I did him ? The evident reason to me why he sought no explanation is that, if he had done so, he would not have had the opportunity to abuse me for politi cal purposes ; for he knew had he called -on mea satisfactory answer would have been given him, his excuse for de nouncing me and his chance for ingra tiating himself with the Conservative element would have been lost. I leave it to the public to say wheth er events subsequent to the 4th of last March have not proved that Jim Till man told the truth when he came to me with the report of this conversation between him and Gen. Farley. I need not give the argument why I believe Jim Tillman told the truth, for I am satisfied that everyone who reads the newspapers and who has watched the turns in polities will see tbat there was truth and lots of it in what Tiliman said. I submit herewith letters from Dr. Pope, Mr. Tighe, Mr. W. T. Crewsand Major W. T. Gary,'of Augusta, which will prove conclusively that the charges made by Gen. Farley are false. This ph11ppie against mne is but the fulfil mient of the scheme as concocted last March. The scheme, however, was amended by leaving out Governor Till man for rdasons which must be appa. rent to every sensible person. Gen. Farley reasons thus: I will abuse Irby and thereby please every Conservative in the State and will threaten Tilman and sew his mouth up, and by praising Shell will get enough Tillmanites to beat Stanyarne Wilson for Congress. With this explanation I have done with the newspapers as a means of ad justing differences. I am very respect fully, JOHN L. -M. IBBY. NEWBERRY, S. C., July 11, 1893. The Hon. J. L. M. -Irby, Laurens, S. C.-My Dear Sir: In reading the card of Gen. H. L. Farley in reference to the publication of a letter signed "Craddock" in the Augusta Chronicle, I am reminded that during my stay in Washington the author of that piece came into your room (where I stayed also) with a communication in his hand, some time during Saturday night a week after the Inauguration of Grover Cleveland. When he entered the room you asked him to rehearse as nearly as possible the conversation be tween him and Gen. Farley at the Met ropolitan Hotel that day. He unhesi tatingly and promptly told the follow Ingfacts : That Gen. Farley had read to him a communication addressed to the Re formers of South Carolina, rather de nunciatory than otherwise of Tillman and Irby as leaders of the party, and asked Tillman to have it published in the Atlanta Constitution under a nom de plume, taying that as a newspaper man he could have it done under a nom de plume and, would not have to expose his identity. He told Tillman that if the articles took well with the Reformers he would come out and avow himself as Its author. He also said that he would give Jim Tillman a place on a State ticket to be made up as Adjutant General. He (Tillman) further emphasized the fact of his au thorship of the "Craddock" letter by reading it to me and by saying that he was on his way to the telegraph office in 14th street to send It tqthe Augusta Chronicle. He also said that whenever he had communications of this charac ter' to publish he used the nom de plume "Craddock" instead of his ini tials "J. H. T." This information not only surprised me, but I was horrified to think that such things were going on among the Reformers, and especially among the leaders. Senator Irby was also indig nant at it, and asked me, whb intended to return home by way of Columbia in a few days, to see Governor Tillman and tell him what Jim Tillman had said, for the reason that Senator Irby was afraid the Governor would not see the Sunday edition of the Chronicle. In passing through Columibia I went to Governor Tiliman's hous,e and gave him the Information we had received from Jim Tillman in Washington. I make this statement to you volun tarily because you must have forgotten~ that I knew anything about it, or you would have written to me, and because it is due to you and to truth that the public should know the truth and the authorship of this whole matter.. Your friend, SAMSON POPE. This is to certify that Senator Irby did rnot dictate to me any article signed "Craddock," published in the Augusta Chronicle or elsewhere, and that I knew nothing whatever of itsecomposi tion. Mr. Jas. H. Tillman, to my knowledge, never disavowed the au thorship of the Craddock letter. It has been stated that Mr. Tillman denied responsibility for a part of the letter re flecting upon Mr. F. C. Caughman, but Mr. Tillman, to disprove that be had repudiated any part of it, showed me, and others I presume, a note In the na ture of a certificate, in which Mr. Caughman stated that Mr. Tillman declared himself the author of the ar ticle signed "Craddock." M. F. TIOE. On last Friday, June 30, Gen. Parley came into the Herald office, and after being seated the following conversation took place between myself and Mr. arley: Mr. Parley : "Mr. Crews, didn't you publish an article in the Herald the other week in which you stated that I attended an Alliance caucus in Spar tanburg, and wasn't something said about sharpening Brutus daggers for Tillman, etc ? Was the article an edi torial or communication ?" Mr. Crews: "There was an article of that nature published In the Herald a week or two ago, but the Parley men tioned was not Intended to apply to you-it was Lid Parley. There was something said about 'Brutus daggers,' and was an editorial written by my self." Mr. Farley: "Where did you get you Information from ? Didn't some one here give you the information ?" Mr. Crews: "No, sir. I got my in formation from some one of the daily papers. I am not sure, but I think it was the Qreenville News, and the edi torial was based on the information contained in a dispatch sent from Spar tanburg." Mr.*Farley : "I think you are mis taken about getting your information from the Greenville News, as I have never seen anything of that kind in the News." Mr. Crews: "Possibly I may be mis taken about getting my information from the News, but I am positive that I got it from some one of the daily pa pers. No individual gave it to me verb ally or otherwise." Mr. Farley questioning me in regard to the source of my information in re gard to the editorial in question im pressed me at the time that he was en deavoring to extort from me a virtual admission that some one in Laurens had given me the said information, and when he afterwards alluded to the fact that he had a personal enemy here who was trying to injure him, and other such expressions, without directly naming any one, I could plainly see that his references were Senator Irby. I then told Mr. Farley distinctly and positivEly that neither Senator Irby nor any one else had ever mentioned the subject to me, and that I was respon sible for the editorial and the reference to "Brutus daggers," etc. The above is the conversation which took place between Mr. Farley and myself, as well as I can remember, and the substance of what I have written and what was said by as on the occa sion referred to can be substantiated by three other employees in. the Herald office, who heard the conversation. W. T. CREWS. OFFICE U. S. ATTORNEY, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, MACON, GA., July 10, 1893. Sir: Your letter dated July 8, 1893, in which you enclose a card published by the Hon. H. L. Farley, is received. You request me to furnish you for pub lication a statement of facts which came within my knowledge in refer ence to the article published in the Augusta Chronicle over the signature "Craddock." I have no intention to espouse the cause of any of the parties interested in this controversy, with all of whom my relations are friendly. I yield to what I conceive to be my duty and do an act of simple justice to you in mak Ing the following statement: The article signed "Craddock" was not dictated by you to your private secretary, nor was it sent to the Chron icle for -publication either by you or your private secretary. During my stay in Washington I was present in your rooms at the Nationaal Hotel when a conversation was had in reference to it, and the article was read over to you in my presence by the author before it was sent to the Chronicle for publica tion. Very respectfully, W. T. GARY. Hon. J. L. M. Irby, United States Senator, Laurens, S. C. TIM TILLMAN WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. [Columbia Journal, 15th.] The Journal representative called on Capt. James H. TilIman this morning and asked if he had anything to say in reply to Senator Irby's statement pub lished in varions State papers yester day. He replied: "I have been drawn into this affair very much to my regret, but I do not propose that Senator Irby or any one else shall me as an instrument to per petrate a political amassination." "Then you will reply ?" "Of what character will your answer be?" was asked. "Wait and see ; you may say, how ever,- that it will prove that Senator Irby has acted the deliberate scoundrel in mixing a certain amount of truth with error in order to give his defence an air of plausibility and throw the whole blame on me. It will divulge some racy and yet unwritten history that will be mighty interesting reading for devout Reformers." "When will your article appear.'' "Just as soon as possible. Please do not ask me any other questions." Sunday Fairs at an End. CHIcAGO, July 14.-The World's Fair is to be closed on Sunday and after July 16th it will not be open to the public on the first day of the week. The admissions of next Sunday have already been donated for the relief of the families of the firemen who lost their lives in the recent fire on the grounds and but for this fact the fair would probably have bee n closed next Sunday. The vote of the local direc tory rescinding its former action was overwhelmingly in favor of closing, it standing 24 to 4.

LSpecial to News and Courier.] GREENVILLE, July 13.-Greenville is dry the first time in the hiMtoy of the city. This morning at a (piarter be fore 10 o'clock Capt. Mooney, armed with an order from Judge Nortou, ap peared at the dispen-ary and served the order on Dispenser Hill, and in a few minutes the doors of the State bar were closed and locked and will remain closed unt:l Monday, the 17th, when the case will De heard on a motion for a permanent injunction prohibiting the dispenser from selling liquor lence forth and forever in Greenville. The action of Judge Norton seems to meet the approval of the great majority of our citizens, white and colored. When the bar closed the-re was a gen eral hand-shaking and slap-on-the shoulder all along Main street. TILLMAN'S BOTTLES ONE OUNCE SHORT. A reporter of the News obtained to day a pint and a half pint bottle of the genuine palmetto stamp dispensary whiskey and submitted each to a reli able druggist for measurement. The liquor was measured by a druggist's graduator and resulted in each being one ounce short, which is a loss of 16 per cent on pints and 12 per cent on half pints to buyers. This is fillaian's all-wool and thirty-six inches to the yard. THE BLIND TIGER. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 14.-The city is in a fever ofexpictation overt be arrests for the illegal sale of liquor. The trap may be sprung any momen t, but no one is positive when the fireworks are to begin. The ball may be set in motion this afternoon. Assistant Attorney-General Buchan an has been in the city for some time and is known to have been in secret conclave with many of the constables yesterday. He was seen on the street with a batch of blank warrants in his pockets. There is no question that the papers are being made out, but the impression prevails that all the arrests will r e made in one day and that the trap will not be prematurely sprung. Spies have made themselvesso officious ly mysterious that numbers of them have become known by sight. More than one has been put out of a saloon while trying to ply his trade. It is stated that more than thirty cases have been made out against pro minent saloon keepers. One of the spies is the authority for this state ment. THE STATE SPIES AT WORK. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 15.-Spies and constables have been very hard at work in Charleston to-day. Upon the application of Assistant Attorney Gen eral Buchanan, Judge Izlar, of the First Judicial Circuit, granted tempo. rary injunctions against a number of ex-liquor dealers of this city, restrain ing them from continuing thbe sales of beer and other intoxicating liquors, ss charged in the complaint of Buchanan. in violation of the dispensary law. Upon the order of Judge Izlar, the con stables were instructed to take charge of the suspected places, and to dili gently search the premises, inventory all goods found, seize personal property and place it in the custody of the sheriff. The first place raided this morning was a house in Market street, .where Vincent Chicco, an Italian, carried on a liquor business, and where, since the dispensary law went into operation, he has been making out by selling "soft drinks" and maccaroni. Chicco was arrested on a waarant based upon the affidavit of R. H. Pepper, one of the spies, who swore he had bought beer from Chicco several days ago, in viola tion of law. Two drays were driven up in front of Chicco's door, under the direction of Theodore S Gaillard, chief constable. Seventeen constables searched the place from bottom to top, and everything movable .was seized and loaded on the drays. The spies forced their way into the private apartments of Chicco's family, over the store, and invaded the room occupied by Chicco's sick wife, threat ening that if she did not open the door they would burst it in and take her to jail. Boxes of maccaroni and otheri goods on which no one could possibly become intoxicated, were placed on the drays, but were afterwards returned to the house. But a small quantity of liquors, probably $100 worth, which was found in the private part of the house, were confiscated. Chicco was taken before Trial Justice Milan and released on S600 bond for his appearance at trial. There was a great crowd and much confusion. Chticcc cursed the spies roundly and came near having a fight with Spy Pepper, whbo, drew his pistol and attempted to shoot the enraged Italian. The whole community was indignan t at the extraordinary proceedings of the constabulary. Chicco states to-night that his wife is expecting to be confined this month, and that he fears tbe out rage to-day will have a serious effect on her. He has had a warrant issued for Pepper for assault and battery with in tent to kill. Afrar the atffair at Chicco's, the con stables raided :4ol1anhauer's restauratnt in King street, Fred McCabe's salooi in market rstreet and Anspach's restau rant in Meeting street. No contraband goods were found at these places, al though, on the affidavits of the spies, all the men were bound over for trial it $500 bond, the spies having sworn that they had bought intoxicating liquors al these placs - About twenty more cases have been prepared, and the work of arresting will be resumed on Monday. Lawyers Iryan and Bisell have been retained t. repre.et the defendants. Some lively developments are awaited. A Plain Talk. The Wilmington Messenger states the leading causes Southern poverty as follows : 1. The great war, its losses, its de vastations. It bankrupted the rich south, deprived it of tens of thousanus of its best citizens and robbed it of its entire basis of credit. The South had to start afresh in the business of ,ife. Everything was a waste and povvrty stalked abroad. 2. Then came the savage, oppressive, ruinious reconstruction trA, with al of its stealings, mountain debts, fooish sectional legislation. o. The high tariff tax laws of the re publican party that made the rich North richer, and robbed the poor for the benefit of plutocracy. The money devil has had a vast deal to do with the poverty and prostration of the South. 4. Then there is the wicked and un fortunate demonetization of silver in 1873. 5. Now come other agents of injury. First in the long continued policy of growing one market crop and buying everythiug. The South has clung to cotton and tobacco and bought hay and corn and wheat and bacon and lard and vegetatles and fruits. It has acted like an overgrown simpleton in this matter. It has played the part of a gambler, risking all on one doubtful card. The world is over-stocked with cotton and still the South has tried to over-do the business of cotton produc tion and has made a splendid suc cess. It. has literally, in the language of the scriptures of inspiration, been a bewer of wood and a drawer of water for the rich, dominant, progressive North. So long as the foolishness is I persisted - in there will be a scarcity of money in the South. Then our sensible contemporary pro ceeds to give its readers a plain talk. It says that the South buys nearly everything it consumes of the north utensils, machinery, furniture, musical instruments. medicines-all that is made in workshops--all that is produced I by the loom or anvil, or even in the fields. All the money we get for our C farm products must go north to pay for merchandise. All this is so noto- I rious that a New York paper recently said that the South always has a money famine because she has so little to sell. She needs more shops and t more pay rolls. If a million gold dol- 2 lars were scattered right and left in this region to-day they would all start northward by the end of the week. 1 Admitting the full force of this state ment, The Messenger says: Where is the cure ? Not in simply 1 making more cotton and tobacco ? It 1 is in diversifying the crops-in multi- t plying the smaller industries-in rais ing all consumed at home-in manu facturing everything used in the South -in keeping the money at home. But there is still another factor of re cuperation, independence and safety not to be overlooked in this hurried re view of causes. It is this. The South must be more industrious. Fact. There must be less idling. Men must work more. Let us illustrate. We use one used aforetime: In the great war between the Stat as the South had upon an average 400,000 Iof its chief white laborers and man ogers in the armies. The negroes, the white boys and old men at hofte made ample supplies for those at home and < fed their own armies, also often the yankee armies, and that, too, after large sections had been over:txm and ravaged by ruthless invaders. Now, if this could be done in 38165, and in great abund ance, why is it with peace for twenty eight years, and all the men at home, the South cannot raise all it consumes -all it eats, wears, etc? The one an swer is-it does not try to do it-it does not work enough to do it. More in-< dustry-more well directed industry isi what is chiefly needed. Think on these things. There is nothing new in this view of the situation. Thousands of thought ful southerners have been writing and talking on this line for the past forty years, but our people are slow to make the needed change in their individual conditions. It is a change, however, that must be made if we would enjoy genuine progress and prosperity. We mxus't revive the energy and enterprise of the war p)eriod and diversify our in-1 dustries so that this will become a self supporting section, selling a great deal and buying very little. Our watch word should be : M.>re products, more shops and more pay rolls ! How Manners Deteriorate. "In the absence of my wife," says a friend of mine, "my manners deterior ate rapidly. I eat at chop houses, and the man who habitually eats at chop houses unconsciously becomes a sort of a human pig. He can't help it. He becomes selfish. He grows slovenly in dress and rude of manners. I can tell a chop house man as soon as I see him at the table. I tell you, man is naturally a brute, and shorn of the conventional restraints of society his veneer of civilization quickly rubs off." "I was prostrated with a severe bil ious complaint," writes Erastus South worth, of Bath, Maine. After vainly trying a number of remedies, I was finally induced to take Ayer's Pills. II had scarcely taken two boxes when II wasn ompletely cnrld. j' DOWNFALL OF DAVENPORT. Che Laurens County Official Resigns His Office and Leaves the County. [Special to The State.

For instance, New York tate is represented by the largest tree, tanding in the center of the group. 31ose to it stands the next largest, re resenting the state of Pennsylvania. Thode Island is represented by the mallest tree, which is a mere baby by he side of the others, and the crooked ,ree is called South Carolina. It has aken an abrupt turn and grown per :eptibly out of the grove, then it turned gain just as suddenly and grew up straight. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the union.

C., July 14.-An other killing was rec rded to-day in Greenville County, abouty, about two and a half miles beyond Chick Springs -the victim, James Cox ; the man who did the the killing, W. T. Toney, all well-to-do farmers, neighbors, until to-day friends. Toney's son Henry was 21 years old to-day and Cox gave a dinner in honor of the event. Of course there was whiskey on hand and the young men had been drinking. Henry Toney and, James Cox were in the yard and got into a playful struggle, which resulted in one or both getting angry and a regular fight followed. John and Mrs Cox took a hand in the fight and the three, it is claimed, attacked young Toney with fists, a hoe and a broom handle. Mr. W. T. Toney was sitting in the house pleasantly talking with his eld erly friends, when seeing the.attack on his son, he rushed into the yard with his open pocket knife and drove the blade into the right side of James Cox's neck. Cox walked to the piazza, lay down, and in half an hour was dead, bleeding to death. The cutting took place about 12 o'clock. Toney and his son surrendered to the sheriff and were lodged in jail to-night. TO BE BURIED ALIVE. Mind Reader Seymour to Spend Over Three Months Under Ground. TOLEDO, Ohio, July 5.-Seymour, the mind reader, accompanied by his son, is on his way to Chicago, where he is to attempt a test that will, if suc cessful, make him famous the world over. He performed some wonderful feats in the streets of Toledo a few months ago. For example, he found a medal hidden in the library building by a local newspaper committee, driving to the building blindfolded. At Chicago he is to be buried alive, after the alleged manner of the East Indians, who say they can suspend animation for any period by swallow ing their tongues and controlling the heart and mind. "My coffin has gone on ahead, said Mr. Seymour to-day. "It was made in Syracuse and is a fac-simile of the one in which Gen. Grant's re mains now lie. It cost. $3,000.. It is made in three sections, one fitting in side the other. "I will be buried six feet deep in the coffin. Signals will be arranged, so that if things don't go right I can com municate with the soldiers on the out side who will guard the grave. "Directly afer I am buried a crop of barley will be sowed over the grave. I will remain buried until the germs sprout, grow, ripen, and are harvested.i Then the disinterment will take place. "I will not come back to earth until September 24. I am positive that I can do it, and the scientific men who are assisting mie to conduct the expe riment are beginning to think so too." Type-Casting Machine. [Popular Science Monthly.] A key-board similar to that of a type writer fronts the machine; there is a key for each letter of the alphabet. The operator sits in front of the key board. Let us suppose that he wishes to set the word "new." He touches the key n. The touch on the key releases -., from a magazine in the rear of the ma chine mould, technically called a ma trix, made of brass, that slides down into a receiver near the key-bo,ard. Next the operator touches the key e. A matrix for the letter e is released, - and slides down alongside the letter n. A matrix for w comes down and ranges itself alongside e. Now, in the receiver we have, what?-the word new in type? No, nothing of the kind. We have three little brass moulds standing side by side, from which, if we poured mol ten metal into them, we would set the word new in a solid cast. But there is no type. The machine knows nothing of type whatever, though, for con venience sake. we are calling it a type casting machine. But the time has not come to put molten metal into the three little moulds or "matrices." An entire line should be set, not merely a word. Suppose the line is to be, "new things come to pass." The operator proceeds to touch key after key for the successive letters until the matrices for the whole line are ranged side by side. When by reason of a cold or from other cause, the stomach, liver, and kidneys become disordered, no time should be lost in stimulating them to action. Ayer's Pills act quickly, safely, and surely.

Only a Trimaig Difrerence. The American constitution make few distinctions on the ground of sex In conferring privileges upon citizens.

It is Said to be One Means of Lifting the Burdens of the Poor Man. [Atlanta Constitution.J The income tax continues to grow more popular. As the tax is constitutional and equi table, and as it is plain that there will be a deficit in our revenues when we reduce the customs duties, it is natural that public attention should center upon this mode of raising money for the expenses of the government. The masses are not able to stand a direct tax levied on everybody, and the bur den will have to fall upon the wealthy classes who are able to bear it. The opposition to the measure comes mainly from the capitalists of the east who have grown rich under the favor itism of the government. They declare that it would be very expensive to col lect such a tax and that it would tempt men to commit perjury. On the other hand experts in the revenue service say that the system would not make it necessary to employ many extra offi cials, and the matter of perjury is only a fanciful objectiob. Rich men in En gland do not perjure themselves to es cape the income tax and there is no good reason for supposing that they would do it here and risk the peniten tiary. When we consider the tremendous drain upon the people for a generation in the shape of a 60 per cent. tariff, fed eral pensions and other ex'penses, it will be seen that the income tax would afford a greater degree of relief than any other one thing could give. The tax should be a graded one, as Thomas Jefferson suggested. It should begin with $10,000 incomes and the per cent age of the tax should increase with each additional $10,000 of income. This is the way to lift the burden from the masses who are unable to bear it, and cause the expenses of the govern ment to be paid by the men who enjoy most of its benefits, and who are able to pay a tax without feeling it. It is oppressive and unjust to tax the poor man's little $1,000 cottage and ex empt the $10,000 income of his mil lionaire neighbor. FOUR YEARS TO PRINT A BIBLE. One Just Issued in the Syriac Language at the Bible House. [New York Herald.1 The new Syriah Bible was printed at the-Bible House during the past week. The book has been in the printers hands for four years. Paul Behman and David Ismael, natives of Oroomiab, Persia, set the type. Behman is an accomplished typesetter and worked at his trade in Persia. Ismael learned his trade from Behman in this country and they av eraged a page a day. The Rev. Benja min Labaree, D. D., the translator, supervised the work. Mr. Labaree is an American, but has spent many years in Persia as a missionary. Joel Abraham, a native scholar of Oroc miah, assisted him. This is the first whole Syrian Bible issued by the Arnerican Bible Society. A number of years ago they printed the New Testament in the Syriac language. According to Caleb T. Rowe, the general agent of the society, the Bible has now been issued in 350 languages and dialects. No new translations are at hand, so the Bible House printing office is out of work. Literary Note.

(From the New York World.j The family of the late Jay Gould is about to erect at Roxbury, in this state, a Memorial church, to cost a quarter of a million dollars.' On its corner-stone will be this inscription: "To the Glory of God and in Memory of Jay Gould." This posthumousjux taposition of two names that were not conspicuously associated during the life of the late Jay Gould must be ac cepted by the public chronicler as a private arrangement of the family in which the public has no hand and no special interest. It would be very unjust even to hint that the late Jay Gould did not in divers ways, that we know nothing about, attempt to glo rify both God and Gould, but it can not be said that he succeeded in con vincing a very large circle outside of his own heirs of the fact.
