LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
ANOTHER HIATUS IN THE Law
COUNTY LICENSES CANNOT BE EN-
FORCED.

The Supreme Court, in the case of the
People vs.. Martin, recently decided, holds
that the sections of the Political Code relat-
ing to the collection of license tax from
business men for county purposes is incoz-
sistent with Section II of Article XI. of the
Constitution Of this State It is a matter
that affects all the licensed dealers of tAis
county. In this case the Court holds that
these license taxes are for the purposes OF
revenue, aud therefore come within the pro-
visions of Section u Of Article XI. of the
Constitution; that the Legislature has no
power to impose taxes for county purposes
Such powers can be exercised only by general
laws vesting the corp rate authorities Of
counties to assess and collect tsxes for these
purposes. Section II of Arii;le XI, reaCs ::
1.-THE Legislature shall have no power to i'm
pose taxes UPON counties, cities, towns, or
other public or municipal corporations, or
upon the Inhabitants or property Thereon, Tor
county. city. town, or other municipal pur-
poses, but may, by general laws, vest IN the
corporate authorities thereof the power to
assess and collect taxes for such purposes"
Section 1860 Of the Political Code-the one
in question il the case named-is one of a
number of sections relating TO county licenses,
enacted prior 10 the adoption of the Consti-
tuition, and by which license taxes are i'm
posed upon certain kinds of business and &C.
equations, for the privilege Of carrying on the
same. These include all kinds of merchants,
saloon, theater, auction and other classes of
business.
Since the adoption of the Constitution of
1879 no additional legislation Of general
character has been enacted with regard to the
powers of tbs corporate authorities OF coua-
ties TO assess and collect license taxes. So if
any powers now exist they must come from
some of the self operating provisions of the
Constitution itself; otherwise no license tax
can be assessed or collected by the several
counties of this State until such general legis-
lation is had.
Judge Mckee fled dissenting opinion in
the case just referred to, holding that the
license called for in the Political Code is not
tax within the meaning Of the Constitution,
and can only be considered license fee for
regulating purposes. This decision does not
affect the municipal licenses of cities, for in
those CAGES the license is not assessed by the
Legislature but by the local authorities. 1t
was the evident intention of the trainers Of
the new Constitution to take the power Of
imposing taxes upon municipalities from the
Legislature. and to bring matters IF local
concern home TO the people.

Sunreme Court Gowns,

Much fun has been poked ut the JUS
tices of the supreme court about their
new gowns since the first innocently IN
tended mention of them appeared in
The Star, and nobody appears to enjoy
these jokes more than the justices them
selves. BY the way, no one seems to De
aware that their gowns just now, al
though made in the same style used on
that bench for years. are the very height
of fashion, being veritable Mother Hub
bard cloaks. The cut and style of MAX
ing the gowns is SO peculiar that il Is
not always possible to have one cor
rectly made, and there is a sensational
ramor to the effect that, in spite of Ohio
having had more representatives among
the justices than any other state, Justice
Mathews gown, which was made in
Cincinnati, proved to be so unlike the
others that it had to be returned for al
teration. Justice Miller's wife tells
merrily of her trying experience when
she wished to have the gown her hus-
band now uses made in Paris. The
gowns worn there by scientists, scholars,
and students differ altogether from those
our justices wear. In London any cler-
ical tailor would have understood the
kind of gown desired, but not so in Par
is: wherefore, after many failures, Mrs.
Miller gave instructions to the fashion
able modiste who makes hertoilets, who
was entirely successful in making the
gown. The gowns, which are always
of the best quality of silk cost upward
of 800. When the supreme court was
first organized the justices wore quite
gaudy gowns. A portrait in oil of the
first chief justice-Jolm Jay-now hangs
in the robing room opposite the supreme
court room, in which he is represented
as wearing black gown with Il broad,
bright red border around the neck and
down the front, edged with gray, and
sleeves with red border at top and bot
tom. also edged with gray Washing
ton Star.

Live Stock and Agricultural.

Management is the cheapest and most
| practicable manure on the farm
While the English farmers use large
| quantities or bone dust upon pastures,
they prefer supcrphosphates for titled
/ crops.
|. The first Hereford cattle brought into
| this country were imported by Henry
Clay in 1915. and were kept on his farm
| Mt Lexington, Ky. st
l.. Canadian farmers claim that barn
| yard manure is better for sugar beets
than phosphates. This is contrary to
American experience.
The great difference between Eastern
| and Western farming is, that. while in
the latter the dependence is on one grent
crop, wheat, corn, or cattle. the former
rests on no one. or even on two or three
things, but on about everything which
the soil can raise and the climate allow
TO be produced.
While working with the bees. avoid
all sudden jars. quick, active motions,
and never fight them. Careful handling.
will cure all cross bees, while with care
less, rough handling the most quiet will
become cross. 1t is part of the nature
of bees to gorge themselves with honey
when alarmed. and when in this condi-
ton they rarely, if ever, sting unless
pinched.
The Dublin Farmer claims full feed
of hay to horses, to follow concentrated
food, is wasteful, and crowds the latter
out of the stomach before proper diges-
ton occurs. This authority claims that
hay should be fed first to avoid the
aforementioned trouble. A hearty
drink of wafer upon a full stomach also
operates to push its contents into the
intestines before there is proper diges-
ton.
20 Stock should be sheltered during the
Winter, for when unprotected from the
cold winds and snow-storm a great deal
of the food consumed goes to maintain
animal head, instead of adding pounds
of flesh to the animal. The scarcity of
grain and the consequent high prices
will make this Winter good time to try
the experiment of economizing feed
by shcltcring stock.
There are some cOmmon-SenSe rules |
for fattening stock, the value of which |
every farmer must acknowledge. The |
animal must be comfortable and con-
tented to do its best. To insure this con-
dition, they must have plenty of good,
clean water, easily accessible to drink, |
plenty of good, palatable food which
they can eat in quietness and undis-
turbed. besides having quiet, pleasant
companions in the field that do not hook
or bite.

Something ahont Babies.

According to Yorkshire notion, a
newborn infant should be laid first IN
the arms of maiden before anyone
touches it: and in some places the in
fant's right hand is left unwashed in
order that he may gather riches. 1t is,
too, considered very important by many
that an infant should go upin the world
before it goes down. Thus, in Cleve-
land. saws Mr.. Henderson, if child
should be born in the top story of q
house, for want of flight of stairs one
of the gossips will take it in her arms
and mount table, chair, or chest of
drawers before she carries it down
stairs.
nthe North of England, when an in
FAINT for the first time goes out of the
house, il is presented with an egg, some
salt and n little ioaf-of bread, and occa-
sionally small piece of money these
gifts being supposed to insure that the
child shall never stand in need of the
common necesSaries of life. In the
East Riding of Yorkshire few matches
are added to light the child to heaven.
Itwas. too, in former times. custom-
airy, and the practice is not yet, obsolete.
to provide a large cheese and cake. and
cut them ut the birth of the child. These
were caifed N'the gfodlllnS cake duu
cheese;'' and were distributed among
all the neighbors. ..nae .
In Yorkshire this cake is termed the
pepper cake and in some localities
the ..sickening cake 1t is the source
of a species Of divination, for being cut
into small pieces by the medical man, it
is divided among the unmarried of the
female sex, under the name of "dream-
ing bread" Each one takes a piece,
places it in the foot of the left stocking,
and throws it over the left shoulder.
This being done, they must retire to bed
backward, without uttering a word, and
those who are lucky enough to fall
asleep before midnight are favored with
a sight of their future husband in their
dreams

Isaac Rassett- Assistant Sc

Captain Isaac Bassett, Assistant Ser
geant-at- Arms of the United States Sem
ate-who recently completed fifty years
service in the Senate chamber-got his
first appointment in the following man.
ner: His father had charge of the Sem
ate chamber when the son was a mere
boy, and often took his son with him to
the Capitol. One morning Daniel Web
ster called the young lad to him and
asked him how he would like to be a
page. He then sent for the Sergeant-at-
Arms and said that he wanted the boy
appointed. The Sergeant-at-Arms re-
piled that he would consult the other
Senators and see if they would permit
the appointment of another page, as
that time only one was allowed. He
spoke to several Senators, and some of
them thought that one was enough, but
Mr. Webster insisted in having his slit
tie boy" as he called him, made apage.
The Sergeant-at-Arms told him that he
could stay that session, but he could not
appoint him till the next session. So on
the 9th day of December, 1881, he was
appointed, and has remained in the SER
vice of the Senate ever since.
