IT is reported that the floods the
yast week throughout Iowa have
completely a ub merged the Hoies
boom, and it will probably not be
heard of again.
Thk Chinese are about to emi
grate to Mexico iu a body. We are
glad to see them go, but we feel for
Mexico and wish her better fortune
than to be saddled with such a pop
ulation. WHEN you hear a spontaneous
howl for Cleveland from any par
ticular section of the country, if you
scratch around in the. underbrush
awhile you will find a man who
held some high ofliee under him in
citing Cleveland enthusiasm.
lIoi.MAN's congress has already
appropriated -M.HKl.ltUMO more
than did the "billion dollar con
gress" at its first session. This is
not because Untie Holinan has
been extravagant (except in to Indi
ana appropriations), but because
the constantly expanding nerds of
this great people demand the in
crease. WHAI'S DOINQ IT?
A lot of democrats were quarrel
ing in harmony:
"Shut up," growled an old wheel
horse. "What's the matter with the
party is, there are too many 'ites'
in it."
"Ites?" queried the crowd, "what
are ites?"
"That's it; you don't know what's
the matter with you," he chuckled.
"It's the Clevelandites, and the
Ilillites, and the Gormanites, and
the Pnhnerites, and the Grayites,
and Iloiesites, and the gang of
them that is doing the harm."
"Old Ironsides."
If the portrait of some grandma
who lived in the early days of the
century could "materialise," and
stepping down, take her place be
side the "tailor-made girl" of to
day, the difference would be no
more marked than that between the
good ship Constitution and a mod
ern "ocean greyhound." Ncverthe
theless, in spite of the top-heaviness
of the old ship as compared
with the new, if the two sailed down
our harbor, there would be no
necessity for an order of "hats oil,"
and our heart-beats would tell us
for which rang out the "three times
Ihrce."
Well docs this great foremother
of ours command both love and
reyerence. Stanch was she with the
strength of oak from the forest
primeval; unwavering ever ns the
polestar in the path of duty;' and
like a true woman of the olden
time, ere "rights" and "suffrage"
had lifted their heads from the
nether chaos, she obeyed her mas
ter, while he, true and brave man o)
the olden time that he was, loved
and honored her. From "The

INTERNAL REVENUE.
During the first 7.") years of our
national existence there were col
lected from internal taxation about
$22,aK),(KK). Of these $3,000.0(10 went
to pay the debts of the revolutionary
war; $1,000,000 to defend ourselves
against France at the close of the
last century, and $ir,UX),(X)i) were re
quired to defray the cost of the war
oflN12.
From 1S20 to 1SI" only about $100,
000 were derived from internal reve
nue, and from 1S47 to I Still nothing
whatever. Since ISM the internal
taxes have produced a revenue of
over $4,000,000,000. This means of
revenue is no longer indispensable.
Our tariff should be so adjusted as
to do away, for the most part, with
.4 . . . . ...
mis lorm ol taxation. We can ar
range our custom duties so as to
make foreigners pay a large share
of our national revenue nnd so
lighten the burden of our own peo
pie. Something was done in this direc
tion by the McKinley tariff.
To further reduce internal taxes
would relieve the industries in
which distilled spirits are used.
It would relieve the tobacco in
dustry. It would remove thousands of tax
gatherers and decrease the national
expenses by several millions.
It would be in accordance with
our constitution nnd our American
policy.
It is the policy of the republican
party.
It is advocated by all friends of
the temperance cause.
The republican national platform
of 1SSS said:
We favor the entire repeal of inter
nal taxes rather than the surren
der of any part of our protective
system at the joint behests of the
whisky trusts and the agents of for
eign manufactures.
From resolutions of the Union
League Club of New York:
We advocate at the earliest prac
ticable day the abolition of the In
ternal Kevenue Department as the
aafest and wisest means of reducing
the surplus and preserving unim
paired the great principle of protec-
lion io American imiunuj.
From resolutions of the Union
League Club of I'hiladelphia:
The United States Internal Keve
nue system of taxation should he
repealed by congress, and we call on
that body to take the necessary
steps to bring this about at as early
a day as possible.
ENGLISH INTEREST IN DEMOC-RACY-
The democrats are going to have
hard work to convince the voters
of this country that there
is nothing in the charge that Eng
land will help the democratic party
this year. The return of the demo
cratic party to power would mean
free trade, and free trade, or any
tariff reform approaching free
trade, would mean Lnglish su
premacy. The following extract
published in the iNew York 1'ress,
and copied from the London Kngi
neering News, shows the interest
that the queen's subjects have in
the election on this side of the
Atlantic:
"The volume of that export trade
has decreased, it is true; the (Mc
Kinley) bill was intended to foster
native industries, especially the tin
plate industry, and this it is doing,
to a very satisfactory extent from
the American point of view, and
just so much has it stimulated
American industries at theexpense
of our own, by just that extent it is
regarded with favor by a large
majority iu the United States, no
matter what their shades of polit
ical opinion may be. There is a
somewhat general idea iu this
country that the McKinley tariff
will be repealed before long, or at
all events be so much modified that
the sting will be taken out of those
clauses most objectionable to Hrit
ish manufacturers; and it is for
this reason that the hopes of the
democrats for the approaching
presidential election are so largely
shared in this country."
Do the democrats expect even the
Irish-American voters to assist
them?
WHY OUR WOMEN FADE.
Many different reasons confront
me as to "why our women fade,"
but I shall touch upon only a few
of the strongest, writes Felecia Holt
in the June Ladies Home Journal. I
look at the many women of my ac
quaintance; I see lines on brows
which can only be brought there by
worry, and "worry" I take to by one
of the greatest foes to a woman's
youth. There are.dolla to be sure,
who never think, work or act; I do
not here discuss such creatures, but
woman in her vocation ns a senti
inentbeing. Iu this country Jus iu no
other, do women have to struggle
in the effort th keep tip an appear-
ance of great wealth they do not
possess. It is an age of monopolies
nnd great fortunes nre being ab
sorbed by the shrewd financiers;
hence, many far more cultivated
and refined people must retire, "for
getting the world, be by the world
forgot," or undertake a struggle
which ends only in the grave. It
would seem at the first an unworthy
strife ,'and so it is, not only unworthy
but horribly degrading if entered
into with the purpose of vying
with the more fortunate for the
mere possession of money; but alas.
it represents to the fastidious and
well-born woman all that to which
by nature she is justly entitled
works of art, music, literature nnd
the outcome of the ages.
