Inter- Ocean, 8: Merely to have car
ried Vermont would not be matter Of
republican boasting. The Green Noun
tain state is safely republican at all
times. But to have carried it in the OH
year OF 1894 by 1000 votes in excess of
the republican majority in the presiden-
tial year OF 1892 IL an event worthy of
notice. The belief In that the republi-
can candidate is elected by q larger ma
jorlty than ever before has been cast.
The upward price OF sugar, the down
ward price Of labor, the depressed con-

question OF etiquette was raised at a
Louisville funeral on Wednesday whose
settlement might be of interest to gentle
men who attend such sad ceremonies, as
all gentlemen are likely to do sooner or
later. Mr.. Collins, OF Louisville. was hidden
to the funeral OF Miss Green, of the same
city, and was further distinguished by the
request from the family OF the deceased
that he would serve as pallbearer. Mr.
Collins appeared in due season and was
about to take his place In a seat OF honor
near the casket containing the lamented
remains when 1t was observed by brother
OF the departed that he. Mr.. Collins, wore
a red necktie. The brother regarded this as
a mark of disrespect TO his sister, and his
wrath so fared up that he then and there
led Collins TO the door and ordered him out
expediting his departure by threatening to
whip him, and then by chasing him down
the street Collins presently recovered his
Kentucky presence of mind and drew his
pistol; the pursuing Green drew his, and
there was an exchange of shots which drew
no blood, but did draw a crowd. and
eventually, a policeman. who says as soon
as he can get around to it he is going to
arrest both men.
This leaves matters In a very unsatis-
factory state. with the great point in con-
troversy still unsettled. The public which
goes to funerals would like to be definitely
informed If it is ever permissible for a man
to wear a red necktie to those functions.
and If his doing SO is TO be invariably con-
strued as an insult to the corpse. In Syria
sky blue apparel is worn by mourners who
wish to express the assured hope that the
soul of the defunct is in paradise; white is
yellow in Spain. 1t might have been that
Mr.. Collins felt particularly melancholy in
red. and therefore wore his most erubescent
attire in testimony Of his sentiments. Or
1t might have been that the depth OF his
grief led him to forget the observances
customary to such occasions and this Is
the more probable from the fact that the
late Miss Smith had one time been his
sweetheart. 1t is unfortunate that for the
benefit Of all who may be in a, similar pre-
dcament, the important question was not
turned over to referees, to a social UNI
pire. If Louisville has a McAllister he

Collins and the brother of Miss Green the
question may yet become a cause celebre.
but there is little hope of this, since a
Louisville policeman seldom catches Jay

likely to be deferred, in Kentucky at least.

The Income Tax as Glass Legislation.
David A Wells in the Forum.

Equality of taxation of all persons and
property brought into open competition un-
der like circumstances is necessary TO pro-
duce equality OF condition for ALL in all
production and in all the enjoyments or
life, liberty and property. And government,
whatever name IL may assume is des-
potism and commits acts OF fragrant spoil
iation If IL grants exemption or eXacts
a greater or less rate Of tax from one man
than from another man on account OF the
one owning or having in his possession
more or less of the same class of property
which is subject to the tax. IL IL were
proposed to levy tax OF per cent on
annual incomes below $1,000 in amount.
and exempt all incomes above this sum,
the unequal and discriminating character
OF the exemption would be at once appar-
ent; and yet an income tax exempting
all incomes below $4,000 is equally unjust
ard discriminating. In either case the ex-
emptlon cannot be founded or defended
on any sound principles of free constitu-
tional government, and is simply a mani
festaton of tyrannical power. under what
ever form OF government IL may be en-
forced. The great republican principle OF
equality before the law, and constitutional
law itself. alike preclude any exemption
of an income derived from Ike property:
AS II u.s. a system OF class legislation full

Mr. Joseph c. Willard is lying very i'll at

which has left him subject to periods of
exhaustion or heart failure. Last night he

The attacks of exhaustion are, however
liable to return at any time. The majority
of people who know him by name have
never seen him. 1t is estimated that he is
worth in the neighborhood of 100000.
Mr. Willard has his pecuiarties, and
among these Is diSinclination TO mingle
