THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
DECIDES.


Elsewhere We publish from the
Caucasian the confirmation Of the
iud gInent rendered by the 4th Dis
trict Court for the parish of Natchi-
toches in the suit of Fl. p. Brea-
zeale, editor OF the Enterprise VS..
G. l.. Tr,chel, tax collector. Brea-
zeale demanded 81 per square for
the first insertion and SO cents for
every subsequent insertion. The
Collector invoked the auditors aid
in the matter, having refused TO pay
Mr.. Breazeale more than 70cts per
square for the first insertion and
25cts for each additional Insertion,
in all of which the Auditor fully
agreed with the Collector ard the
service of Attorney General Cum
ningham were brought to bear in
the suit with all the authority of the
State prestige. W
The laws Of the State for judicial
advertisements taxed the parties in-
yolyed the amount Mr. Brazeale
charged the Collector for the de-
linquent list, and the plaintiff plead
that that law having been enacted
subsequent to the law upon which
tie Auditor and Collector based
their reduction of the charge the
latter was null and void, and plain
tilf further plead that the State had
no Just right to require the services
Of the printer for less money than
had been made legally taxable by
the State from private citizens for
judicial advertising. Judge An
drews views were in accord with
Messrs. Pierson & Potter, attorneys
for plaintiff, and he gave Judgment
accordingly.
The ease was taken to the Cir
cult Court by the Auditor repre-
senting the State, it being the
court Of last resort for the amount
involved, and Judges Moncure and
Sutherin affirmed the Judgment of
Judge Andrews, which fixes the
publishers compensation for public
printing ATONE DOLLAR PER SQUARE
FOR THE FIRST INSERTION AND FIFTY
CENTS PER SQUARE FOR EVERY SUB
sEoUEsr INsERTIoS.
We have not been favored with a
copy of .the Circuit Courts judg-
ment as rendered so as know fully
the points on which their decision
turned, but will have something to
say in relation to il as soon as il
comes to hand.
We are fully satisfied with what
the court has done, let it be worded
as it may. Every one will feel and
know tnat tie affirmation was fonnd-
ed ON both law and equity; and We
venture to sey that every officer who
attempts to strain and twist the con-
struction of the law to deprive the
printer of his just dues. on the
ground of economy, will come to
grief sooner or later, by receiving
the condemnation Of every fair mind
ed citizen in the state

Burke Cochran on the situation

lieve that the welfare of the Demo

it is to-day: he has already proved
himself the man of the party, and
the New York Democracy will sup
port him in every way that know.
The idea that any Democrat from
this State is gong to embarrass Mr..
Cleveland's administration III any
way is absurd. We are all with Mr..
Cleveland and will do all in our
power to aid him in his administra-

The Tarmersville Gazette has a
clever and forcibe editorial on the
enforcement of the Sunday law in its
last issue, from which We Gull the
following:
Mr.. Adams determined stand In
endeavoring to enforce the Sunday
law is deserving Of highest common
dation, and his course is worthy the
example of prosecuting attorneys
and officers generally throughout
the State 1t is having Statutory
effect towards checking violations
of the Sunday law in New Orleans.
All laws should be upheld and Wig
orously enforced. If men are per-
United to violate one statute with
impunity. it creates within them a
general and growing disrespect for
all laws.
The Republican papers are all
troubled with a violent attack Of the
growls since the election, and our
esteemed contemporary the Rising
Sun Recorder is no exception to the
rule. We certainly ought not to
complain of them if they find any
consolation in growing. We give
asample from the Recorder:
There have been too many men in
Office in Ohio county who were Re-
pnblicans s.for revenneonly." And
az soon as elected to Office, or ceased
to hold Office, they either went over
to the Democratic party or ceased to
take any interest in the Republican
party or the success of its prlncl-
pies.
The Republican party and princi
pies being '.for revenue only, they
were not to blame for abandoning

silver, Lead Ore, Lumber, Salt, Wool, Iron
Ore, Coal aud Pig Tin Included.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE house
ways and means subcommittee, en-
gagged on the tariff schedule, has
definitely decided upon placing on the
free list, silver bearing lead ore, lum-
Der, salt, wool, iron ore, coal and pig
tin, and has decided in favor OF reduc-
ing the tax on tin plates from 9-1O
cents to cent
The subcommittee is now engaged
in considering whether the provision
shall be made for an income tax or
tax on corporations The present
sentiment of the committee appears
to be decidedly in favor Of the tax on
incomes.
Congressman Cultivate of Ohio, in
whose district Governor Mckinley
obtained a large majority, declares
that the tariff will be revised in the
direct line mapped out by the Demo
cratic party, with due consideration
to the best interests of the country.
He does not believe that the majorities
last week were due to change in the
minds of the people in regard to tariff
reform.

SENATOR MARTIN TALKS.
The Kansas Statesman Gives Ills Views
on the Election Results and Fusion.

hN hthoao Wives IlH views
on the Election Results aud Fusion.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 14.-Senat7r
John Martin, who returned from
Washington last night, asked as
to the causes of the re-
suit of the recent elections said:
The Democratic party may be
little off this year, but you will find
1t right in line next year again. No
one doubts that we were badly beaten
at the recent state elections, and there
was no one cause that particularly de-
feated us, but a dozen Of them. The
real trouble is that the people are dis
satisfied with the present condition of
affairs, and naturally blame the party
in power. See how foolish it is!
up to November we had not passed
a single bill and therefore could not
have in the least changed the policy
of the government or caused the hard
times. The manufacturers in the
East have closed some of their mills
as a threat against our proposed tariff
legislation, when as a matter of fact
the country was not suffering from
the fear of free trade. Then there
are great many disappointed office
seeking Democrats in the country who
caused some discomfort in our rarity
ranks"
Speaking of Mrs. Leases recent
break the senator said: 81 don't be-
lieve she thought what she was talk
ing about when she said what she did
about fusion; but it was just like
woman. Women always act upon the
impulse of the moment without much
thought as to what they are saying.
While do notsay what course should
be pursued in the state next year, yet
| believe fusion will not be thrown
over"
Referring to the bill introduced for
the relief of Judge Foster, Mr.. Martin
said he thought it or general one
covering the same provisions would
pass, as there seemed to be no opposi-
tion to it. OF the United States mar.
shalship he said: IL have recon-
mended Dr. Neeley of Leavenworth,
for the place and think he will get it,
although there is nothing so uncertain
as the Offices President Cleveland has
TO dispose Of.

WASHINGTON, Nov. LIT appears
the chief embarrassment of the ways
and means committee is to come, not
from the articles upon which the
specific ad valorem duties are to be
reduced, but from the articles that
are to be put on the free list. 1t had
been generally accepted up to quite
recently that the Democratic party
united on the proposition of putting
wool. coal, iron ore, salt and lumber
on the free list, but the latest devel-
opments have indicated that this is
not the case.
Mr.. CulberSon and other Texas mem
bers have already sounded their oppo-
sitiOn to free wool. aud they are like
ly to receive substantial encourage
ment from Ohio members and the rep
resentatives Of the grazing states of
the West
Several of the Alabama representa-
tives are protesting against the prop
osition to place iron ore and coal on
the free list. The extensive lumber
states, both of the South and West,
are almost unit in opposing free
lumber. The Michigan members will
probably oppose free salt to man, as
it is stated that even Mr.. Whiting, of
the ways and means committee, will
contend the effect of placing salt on
the free list will be only to give the
English salt manufacturers a monop-
oily of the American markets and
close up the American works.
Altogether, the lot of Mr. Wilson
and his colleagues of the ways and
means committee is not a happy one
With a score or more of influential
gentlemen demanding a caucus for
the consideration of the tariff bill,
and various others declaring they
will not vote for the measure if it
makes the drastic reductions on the
articles in which their constituents
are interested, the difficulty of secur-
ing Democratic harmony on the meas
ure now being evolved by the ways
and means committee is every day
becoming more apparent.
The question of an income tax is
rapidly coming to the front as a lively
issue. The proposition which finds
most favor is to levy a per centum
tax on all incomes of $500 per an
mum and over; but those of the COM
mittee who are now giving
the most study to the matter are
inclined to another plan which they
think more practicable. This is
to impose an income or Capitalization
tax on cOrporations-that is. TO collect
a fixed annual tax, either from the
earnings or the paid up capital stock
of corporations. This has led to still
another proposition which contem-
plates the taxing of all corporations
at the time of their organization and
incorporation, the tax to be levied bv
means of stamp and the amount of
the tax to be attached to the license,
to depend upon the amount of capital
stock. 1t seems likely in the end the
committee may adopt some moderate
plan.
