The Chicago Whisky Cases.

An event of great Importance to the
small army of delinquent distillers cap
tured in Bristow's raid upon the whis-
ky-thieves occurred yesterday in the
decision Of their cases. by Justice Har-
Ian, of the United States Supreme
Court The decision is also of general
interest by reason of the law points in
volved. In effect it is only partial
victory for the Government, Justice
Harlan holding that the granting of i'm
munity and pardon operated to relieve
the distillers from the enforcement of
all penalties and forfeitures incurred by
reason of the violation of the internal
revenue laws, and accordingly the suits
for double-tax penalty and condemna-
ton and forfeiture are dismissed. On
the other hand, the decision sustains
the claim Of the Government for all I'M
paid taxes, overruling the plea of the
defendants that they were relieved of
this demand through the granting of
immunity to some and of pardon to
others. The Court lays down the broad
princip that the power to remit taxes
is lodged only in Congress, and cannot
be lawfully exercised by any officer of
the Government; so that, even if a
pledge Of this kind had been made, or a
provision to that effect had been insert
ed in the pardons, neither the pledge
nor the pardons would be recognized as
valid and binding, and the debt of I'M
paid taxes must still be paid unless re-
leased by act of Congress. From the
text of Justice Harlan's opinion it would
appear that the probability of an appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States was held in view, and notice of
appeal was promptly filed by the AS
sistant District Attorney on behalf of
the Governmental Chicago Tribune.

The Fat Mems Convention.

We can see some pleasure, if no reason, in
the converting of a baby show, but we confess
we could never see the slightest cause, reason
able or otherwise, for fat mems convention,
unless it be the fact that misery loves company.
For fifty or a hundred men, whose several
weights range from two hundred to three hun
dred pounds, to hold convention simply be-
cause of so much surplus avoirdupois, is alb
surd to say the least 1t becomes doubly so
when we reflect that obesity is disease. What
would we think of as many persons emaciated
by consumption holding a convention to COM
pare their relative weights? There is but one
ground upon which we would advocate another
fat mems convention, and that is that they will
meet to discuss the merits of Allan's Anti-Fat,
the only known remedy for obesity. 1t is safe

A Health-Destroying yapor

Is generated by the action of the SUMS rays
upon damp, decaying vegetation, stagnant
pools, and marshy, low-lying tracts. The true
nature of this miasma is by no means clearly
understood, but there are two facts in relation
to it that are. The first is, that the periodical
fevers which it breeds are of the most yirulent
type; the second is, that these maladies are
rarely cured, although they may be ameliorat-
ed, by the ordinary remedies employed to over
come them The true antidote to the effects of
miasma is Hostetters Stomach Bitters. This

Analysis of q Close Vote by which
the Proposition Was Defeated In
the House.
WASHINGTON, February 4.-The most
significant action was vote upon the
proposition 10 instruct the Ways and
Means Committee TO report bill restor.
Ing the income tax. This was presented
by Mr.. Nc Mahon, of Ohio, and received
= very much larger vote than had been
expected. lacking only seven votes OF
two thirds. The vote stood l65 ayes TO
SS nays An examination OF the mega.
tive list shows that for the most
part it is composed OF voters from the
Eastern States. There were few con.
spicuous exceptions, but this was the rule.
The following are the Western men who
voted against the resolution: Aldrich,
Boyd, Henderson, Lsthrop, Marsh,
Spfin ger, and Upton, OF Illinois; Baker
and Sexton, of Indiana; Conger' OF Mich
igan, and Williams, of Wisconsin. The
remainder of the members from the
Northwest who voted, voted for
the resolution. Some surprise was
manifested that Burchsrd, who
was supposed to be opposed to
the income tax, voted for it. This
vote may have special significance, from
the fact that he is the OF ~ member OF
the subcommittee Of Ways and Means
having charge of internal revenue mat
ters who has been regarded as opposed to
the reimposition OF an income tax. The
other two members have already de-
clarcd themselves for il. The sub-com.
mittee now is q unit upon that subject,
and possibly may interpret large ma
iority vote for McMahon's resolution
as an instruction to brisg in an income
tax bill. This vote shows that
the resolution lacked only eleven
votes OF the members present of two.
thirds. and had an actual msjorIty OF
seventy-seven. If this vote means any.
thing, it means that the House will de-
clare IN favor of the reimpo3ition of an
income tax, should the subject ever be
brought fairly before it. In this connec-
tion, the vote of the Committee on Ways
and Means, which will report whatever
bill may be presented on that subject, IS
significant. OF the members OF this COM
mittee, Harris, OF Georgis, Kelley, OF
Pennsylvania, and Banks, OF Massschu-
sets, were absent; the following five voted
aye: Tucker, of Virginia; Ssyler, OF Ohio;
Robbins, Of North Csrolins; Gibson, OF
Louisiana, and Burchard OF Illinois.
The following three in the negative;
Fernando Wood, OF New York; Phelps,
of Connecticut, and Gea. Garfield. If
either OF tie three sbsentees should vote
in the affirmative in the committee, and
it is more thsn probable that at least one
Of the three would, it is evident that
majority of the committee would declare
in favor OF restoration OF
the income tax. Whether bill is TO be
presented TO the House will now evident
~ depend upon the action of this com.
mlttee.

Burning or Chicago Academy OF

CHICAGO, Ill, February 5-The
Academy OF Music, which burned early
TINS morning, was owned by VIM. b.
Clspp, who Is now in Europe. The
original cost was $4,000, and i'm.
provements have been added which cost
$4,000; but its actual value was proba-
bly not over 10000. The insurance. is
$4,000, and ia distributed among IF teen
companies. The lesees, Emmett y
Maier, lose $4,000 in scenic, furniture
and otner stage psraphernalis. Their in
surance is $1,000. The performers lost
their wardrobes, and the musicians their
instruments and music, which increases
the aggregate loss by about $4,000. The
ire probably originated in hot air fur
mace.
