AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Washington, April 24.-The South
Carolina tax cases were passed upon
by the United States supreme court
toda, the opinion being delivered by
Chief Justice Fuller. 1t came upon the
petition of Sheriff Tyler, of Aiken coun-
ty, for a writ of habeas corpus to re-
lease him from Imprisonment under a
Judgment of the circuit court that he
be fined $500 for contempt. He had
siezed a train on the Sout hCarolina
railroad upon a warrant issued by the
state authorities for the collection of
taxes which were in controversy. The
road was in the hands Of a receiver
appointed by the United States court,
and he was adjudged guilty of con-
tempt for his failure to release the
property under the order of that court
He came to the supreme court for re-
lease. Justice Fuller returned an opin-
ion containing much stronger language
than is usually found in sue hdocu-
ments, denying the application of the
petitioner for a writ. He said the seiz-
ure Of the by force, was unjustifyable
and could not be defended. The claims
of the state for taxes are superior to
the general rule, which makes property
placed in the hands OF a receiver sub
ject to the orders of the court; They
are to he determined in the regular way
and in the proper manner.

New York, April 24.-Conrad N. Jor-

urer, took possession of the office this
morning. A conference with bankers
began at noon. The Indications are
that there will be no let UP In gold ship

go out tomorrow.
New York, April 24-Jordan and the
bank officers were still in conference at
noon. 1t is rumored that the New York
banks, as result of the conference,
would turn fifteen or twenty millions
Of gold into the treasury. Said one
bank president: II expect we shall
continue to ship four or five millions
in gold per week until the balance of
trade is reversed, or until some of our
unmarketed products are sent forward
and can be drawn against"
The only information vouchsafed af-
ter the conference was that no gold
was offered to the government and none
was asked for. Jordan is now holding

WILL INCREASE THE TAXES.

London, April 24-Harcourt, chancel-
lu' the eXchequer, introduced the bud
get for the coming fiscal year in the
commons today. The chancellor esti-
mated the expenditure for the current
fisacl year at 81, ,464.OOO pounds and the
residue at S9,S9O,OOO pounds, leaving o
deficit of 1574.OO0. pounds due in part
to slightly expected decrease of rev.
enue, but chiefly to the vast growth of
expenditures not created by the gov
ernment, but through the demands Of
the country upon parliment. The Chan
cellor said the government should not
propose to cover the deficit by encroach-
ing upon the sinking fund devoted to
reduction Of the national debt He pre-
ferred to meet the deficit by the
straightforward way Of increased tax
alton. The government resorted to the
income tax which 1t was proposed to de-
crease by a penny In the pound, which
ought to add 1,75O.OOO pounds to the rev.

THE EXCITEMENT ABATING.

Washington, April 24.-The authori-
tive statement of Cleveland yesterday
in which he announced that the present
treasury department will continue to
pay treasury notes in gold, has taken
the edge off the excitement that fol-
lowed the act Of the secretary Of the
treasury dipping into the reserve fund.
If there had been any danger Of IL
nancial furry, that danger appears now
to be passed. Under the Interpretation
of Cleveland's statement, the reserve
is to be treated simply as 80 much cash
In the treasury, and whether the aggre-
gate sizes or falls a few millions per
day becomes q matter of little concern.

AN IMPROVED POTATO DIGGER.

up vines, dirt and tubers, shake out the
former and pass the latter out behind on
the surface of the ground. These COM
plicated machines do good work, the OBJ
jections to them being that they are of
heavy draft, expensive and so complicat-
ed that the average cost of repairs is
quite a large item.
The other plan was to devise plow
with simple screening attachment
without expensive fixtures or heavy
weight, machine that the average
farmer with q single team could handle.
Beginning with the shovel pillow with
spikes or fingers ranged about it, this
idea has been developed until we have
the arrangement shown in the illustra-
ton here reproduced from The Rural
New Yorker, already quoted. In some
of the diggers the screens are placed be-
hind the pillow. This leaves the tubers in
the furrow. In the machine depicted
the potatoes do not fall behind at all
They are simply plowed to right and
left, falling upon the long screens which
run lightly and easily over the ground
In a general way, the average farmer
is advised to select the least complicated
machinery, but it must also be borne in
in mind that no machine can give abso-
lutte satisfaction everywhere. There are
potato fields of all sorts and kinds-stony,
billy, weedy. wet, hard, soft. One could
hardly expect digger made especially
for work on level prairie. free from
stones, to do first class work On a stony
New England hillside.

HARVESTING POTATOES.

Lifting the Tubers by sIachincry-Two Dis
tinct Methods Worked Up by Inventors.
The wholesale production of potatoes
has demanded machinery for simplify
ing the original methods of planting,
hoeing and digging by hand. This de-
mand has been met by our inventors.
The potato planter does the work of 10
good men dropping by hand. Any of
the good sulky cultiyators or light har-
rows will enable farmer to SIT ON a
comfortable seat and let his horses do
the hoeing for him. There are machines
that will throw poisoned water on six
rows at time as fast as team will
walk to protect from potato bugs. The
hardest problem has been to produce a
digger that will not only throw the tu-
bers out of the soil, but screen or lift
them from tho earth as well.
Two distinct methods have been
worked up by inventors. One is repre-
sented by large. heavy complicated
machine with cog wheels, shakers,
chains and many parts. This is to scoop
