Questions of constitutional law, the rela-

tate government will soon cease to ply
any very conspicuous part in the issues OF

The excitement which was 90 fortu-
natsly created just prior to the death Of
Brigham Young. in regard to Mormon
customs, and particularly tho open and

to have been buried with the old proph-
cts bones. Congress has thus far taken
no note Of the iniquities daily praeticed

better to do in fighting the President
and Mr.. Hayes ignored the subject alto
gsthsr in his annual message. Even in

rng o TAX.

II is to be hoped that the attempt now
being made in Congress TO revive the
old income tax will prove abortivs. The
plea OF its friend. is that by imposing a
tar on incomes the tax on whisky and to.
bacco can be materially reduced. There
is no doubt Of this. But whisky and to-
bacco are luIuries-very baneiul luIur-
lee in SOME instancss-and those who
use them should be made to pay for
them. 10 the Government needs money.
An income is the result Of hard. honest
labor. and to tax that in order to lower
the price OF whisky and tobacco would
be the greatest injustice to the thousands
Of men who dispense with these ~luxuries.
The old ineoms tax was q necessity Of
the war. and perfectly j~ustiiabls. II
was paid willingly by every loyal man.

imposition. and il levied would convert
