(Special.) Mike Norton, the puddler at the Birmingham Roiling Mills who wai as-faulted Saturday night by three unknown thugs died last night from Ms injuries. Norton had left his house early iu the evening to get a pitcher of beer for himself and wife. He got fhs beer at Rensford's saloon and was coming home with it, when three attacked him and beat his hew in with a club. Monday his head was trepanned1 by the doctors, who look out several bones, but the Injured man had lain where assaulted tor six or eibt hours' before discovered anj never recovered from the loss of blood and tha exposure to the night air. Norton was a middle-aged1 man.

He told of the assault, when he came to himself, by 'three- highwaymen. He said th-'y were white meu and struck him more than one blow. The worst bruise was on the left side of the head. An-o'her bru'se was jusf over the right eye. Eelore he died Norton gave a description of his assailants, but uo arreats have resulted.

A dispatch from Washington states that the Income tax returns are com- tag In far beyond the expectations of the officials. In save time and avoid complications the collectors were In structed to classify and send in the returns on the 10th of each cnonth and therefore no reports have been re- celve.1 of a date later than March 10th. Nevertheless, as many as 10.000 returns have already been received and are how being verified and are being recorded. It is estimated that the returns made to the collectors prior to March 10 represent at least 1,500,000 in income tax. and that the actual amount returned to April will aggregate $15,000,000.

It was not expected that returns to any considerable num ber would be made before the 8th or lotn or April, nve days oerore the time limit expires, and hence the showing so far made Is exceedingly gratifying to those having the matter in cnarge. Another matter of congratulation is that little difficulty is being experienced by tax-payers in filling out the blanks. So far little or no difficulty i has been encountered and all things considered the work of collecting the tax is going forward with very little friction. It is expected that at least $20,000,000 In income tax will have been collected by June 1, the close of the fiscal year. The officials do not ex-1 press any doubts that the Supreme Court will sustain all of the Important features of the law, If not the entire act as it stands, and are pushing the work as rapidly as is consistent witn accuracy.

on such sliver coin that would be throughout the entire world as must te queauuurei world that stamps a cola making It repiesen more than its intrinsic value. The vital issue involved In money controversy Is that of commanding the confidence of our own people and of the civilized world. We are borrowers from other nations, and must be so for generations to come, unless we would halt all our great: enterprises. Independent of the sound morality of making an honest dollar, the Interests of our people in the issue are such that we cannot part from it without Impaired credit and provoking the distrust of ail the different nations with which we hava commercial relations. v- The frljntta free sliver and cheap money are struggling 'to bring this country down to the free silver standard would rank us with Pagan nations ot the earth, such as China and India, awl would simply change our monetary system irom we single goia stanaara to the single silver standard.

If the government- could force the people of the country ito accept a 60 cent silver dollar as a legal tender on the basis of the silver standard; the people who now In debt 'would pay their obligations with half the money they plainly promised to pay when the loan was made, but every one who desired to borrow money would be compelled to oonow fi then instead of one now. for It would buy Just about one-half what a dollar commands at present on nuge as ic may- seem many 01 the laboring people, North uiu Doutn, wno have to depend solely on their wages for the support of tnemseives and their families, have uewi misiea into the support of cheap uui uo me or free silver promise these working men that their wages would be doubled If we have free silver and free silver- atam. dard?
