Petroleum v. Nasty on the Passive
Policy.

We hev heard Nv Ohio, Pennsylvany.
Moo York, and number Nv the ether
States, at the Corners, and are satisfied
that suthin has got to be cone for the
Dimocrisy. The entire yoonanimity with
which the country hez pronounst agin us
is one of the most remarkable things that
ever occurred to me. | endoored Ohio
stood firm under Pennsyivany but,
when Moo York went agin US, | felt all
wuz lost. When the Dimocrisy in Moo
| York lost confidence in Tweed to the ex
tent of jinin hands with the ablishnists,
| felt that it wuz of little difference wat
happened thereafter, and took my drink
mechanically like one stunned. So dazcd
wuz | that for week after the elections
| | didn't accept invitations to drink over
half the time.
notice that the Moo York World and
other leadln dimocratic papers are urgin
| the policy of not nominating dimocrat-
ic candidate for President in 1872. but Nv
allowing the Dimocrisy and all the ele-
ments which don't like Grant to yoonite
and run an independent candidate.
am satisfied that the dimocrisy can never
elect a dimocrat in 1872. 1t seems clear
to me that the indicaShuns are that the
people don't want dimocrat to fill the
posishen, and am content TO bow to the
vii of the people. The dimocrisy alwuS
bow cheerfuly to the will of the peo-
Pile when they can't possibly rebel, and
that appears to be the situashen fist now
| therefore accept the passive policy ,and
am conv;nst that the dimocracy should
not, as & party, nominate candidate fur
the Presidency, but shell, to save the
country from Impending room. relinquish
their party organizashun. and cooperate
with sich of the Republicans ez are dis
satisfied with the administrator and in.

Liabilities Of ssylnr, Iu,tltutiOus under the

Liabilities OF Savings Iu,titutious under the
Retenue Laws.
There arc In the United States tt9 savings
banks, without capital stock, that declare no
dividends, but receive and invest money for
the exclusive benefit Of their depoaltors, pay
Ing Interest on the deposits These instilu-
lions have accumulated from their earnings
and unclaimed deposits large Surplus or con-
tlngent funds; some Of them amount 10 mill
lions OF dollars. From 1894, when the nrst
Internal revenue law was passed, up 10 the
present time, the liability Of those banks 10
taxation on their surplus funds has been n
disputed question. At the Instance OF Bow
cry savings bank Of New York, Commissioner
Rollins heard lengthy arguments from some
OF the most distinguished lawyers In the
country, and decided that the banks were not
liable. Subsequently Commissioner Delano
affirmed that decision. The question was
again argued before Acting Commissioner
Douglass, and he decided that the banks were
liable. Under this decision Assessor Errett,
Of Pittsburg, assessed the tax on the surplus
funds Of the Dollar savings bank.
The officers of the bank refused TO pay,
and the claim was placed In the hands OF
United States Attorney Swoope for collection.
After he had Instituted the suits General
Pleasanton was appointed Commissioner.
He, alter another argument oyerruled the
decision Of Commissioner Douglass, and In
structed Mr.. Swoope 20 discontinue the suit
against the Dollar Savings Bank. This Mr..
Swoopo refused to do unless the order came
from the Attorney General, 10 whom he pro-
tested against the discontlnuance, upon the
ground that all these banks were clearly
liable TO the tar. The Attorney General de-
cllned 10 order the suits stopped, and In
structod Mr.. Swoope to proceed and obtain a
judicial determination OF the question.
During the present term Of the circuit
court At Plttsburg the case was tried, the
jury rendering q special verdict The argu-
meut on the legal question was made by Mr..
bwoope for the Government and Robert
RObb, esq., for the bank. On Saturday Judge
Mckennan delivered. the opinion. Under
this decision the Government will receive the
tax from all these tanks on their surplus
funds since 1884, which will amount 10
several millions Of dollars. Il was a test
case, and ls the FIRST judicial decision OF the
question that las been so embarrassing to
the revenue department.
