THE CITADELS HAVE FALLEN.

Philadelphia alone excepted, which has
large native population, the great cities
of the United States have usually been
reckoned as the stronghods of Democracy.
In the elections of November last it is,
therefore, highly significant to observe that
most of these cities capitulated to Republic
caniSm. These are the returns for the
first class cities of the Northern States
Only two of the seven-Boston and New
Iork-it will be observed, failed to give a
plurality for the Republican State ticket,
and the united Democratic plurality of the
twois less than 5000. Moreover, New Yorll
at the same time chose a Republican Mayor,
and Boston has since done the same ut its
municipal election. Whether this tremend-
Gus overturn is to be attributed to popular
disgust with local inco:Apetency and
corruption, or to Il sudden realization of
the folly of Free Trade, it is full of dsmay
to the Democracy The suburban and the
rural North is overwhelmingly Republican.
1t is the densely cOngcsted districts of the
great cities which have rolled up the Demo
cratic majoritics and elected Democratic
Mayors and Alderman and Democratic
Congressman. In 1892 these seven cities
gaVea Democratic plurality ofahout T., O0o.
In 1894 as we have seen. ii is converted in
to Republican plurality of 164,000. Here
in the brief space of two years, is Il change
of more than a quarter of million votes.
1t is entirely probable that a very large, if
not the major, portion of these citizens have
left the Democracy permanently. This is
an exceedingly ominous circumstance, for
without the support of all of them the
Democratic Scause is absolutely hopeless

for chance to bring peace and prosperity to
their doors. Two years ago that request
was granted, and what has been the result?
Not single pledge has been redeemed nor
single promise kept, but the entire ma

A REMARKABLE SENTIMENT.

Those who recognize the profound wis
dom and far-reaching significance Of the
everyday utterances of Mr.. Cleveland can
exercise their intelIcctuals over his speech
at Georgetown, : c., on Saturday:
southern hospitality is noted, and justly 1t
is not the first time have enjoyed it; but let
me say that ! have always esteemed it the
more because have felt that it was the under
lying principle of American citizenship"
southern hospitality the underlying prin-
ciple of American citizenship 1t is great
thought if IA new thought and it will
repay the most careful study and the most
revcrent eXcgcsis.
There is much more food for reflection in

Society after his voyage on the Wistaria in
company with Fighting Bob Evans and

THE INCOME TAX WILL BE
TESTED.

The legal steps already taken by prom
inent citizens of New York. and the appli-
cation made to the Equity Bench of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
for an order restraining an internal revenue
officer in the district from assessing and
collecting tax upon the income of the
petitioner, show that the constitutionality
of the income tax will be severely and eX-
haustivelv tested in the courts,
The disposition of a majority of the
intelligent citizens of this country has all
along plainly been against revival of the
income tax. The one and only tenable
ground for the defence of that tax is that it
is an important part of the revenue policy
of the Democratic administration under
the terms of the present tariff scheme But
this is not reason which will satisfy the
people at large or reconcile them to the
permanent establishment of direct personal
taxation by the Federal Government. 1t is
based upon "A specific economic doctrine
and is employed in the present case to
make possible revenue plan which the
people, not only have repudiated since it
was formulated and made into legislation,
but to which, at best, only part of them
gave reluctant consent at any time.
Some of the leading students of law and
government in this country have pronounced
the income tax provision unconstitutional,
and have supported their opinion with en-
haustve arguments. The question has
been dealt with by them from varying
standpoints, and the reasons they have one
and all advanced for their belief appeal to
a common sense view of the caste and ac-
cord with the spirit in which the Constitu-
ton of the United States was conceived
and framed. These arguments will now
furnish the ground for test in the courts,
and the Income Tax law will be attacked
from many sides with the common purpose
of proving it to he unconstitutional.
Whether or not the courts will recogniz re
the cogency of the arguments of the pet
itioners cannot be said now, of course: but
the reasons for opposition are so strong as
to serve at least considerable room for hope
that the highest court in the land will
adiudge this resort to one of the most obnox-
ious forms of raising revenue to be I'M
warranted by the Constitution.
While the supreme Court thirty years
ago declared the imposition of an income
tax constitutional after Arguments similar to
those which will he used in the test cases
to come. the decision on that occasion was
made under the stress Of extraordinary civ
cumstances Free as the subject now is,
from all the influences and necessities arts
ing from war conditions, decision de-
ivered in a calm judicial spirit in time of
peace, aiming to establish solely the exact
legal status Of the question will be possible
and this is what the petitioners will strive
to secure.

FROM THE CAPITAL.



WAsHINGToN, d. c., Dec. 2G, 1884,
Mr.. Cleveland is not in a Christmas state of
mind Notwithstanding the presence of Il big
Christmas tree in the White House and the
glee with which Ruth and Esther met him
upon his return from "A successful hunting
trip. Peace on earth and goodwill toward
men" is but a meaningless phrase to him
when he thinks Of the Democratic members
of the House who upset his plan for the pass
age Of the crazy-qlIilt currency bill before the
adjournment for the holiday recess, and
Secretary Carlisle has had hard time max
ing him understand that if a vote had been
forced on the currency bill in the House it
would have been beaten out of sight, and a
still harder time in trying to explain why a
bill which he had persuaded Mr.. Cleveland
who doesn't know any more about finance
than he does about the tariff, to endorse, has
had to be abandoned and II new one substitut
ed for it, In fact, he has not yet succeeded
in the latter task.
While the substitute for the currency bill
is in the eyes of the Republicans an improve
ment on the original bill, it is not good nough
to receive a single Republican vote. But the
very features which Republicans think inn
prove the substitute bill will make it new
Democratic enemies, particularly the clause
which makes it optional with National banks
whether they will continue their circulation
under the presant law, or reorganize and
issue notes under the proposed system.
Another change contained in the substitute,
while it may be strengthening the bill with
bankers who wish 20 issue currency will
weaken the measure with the people. That is
the striking out of the clause requiring all OF
the National banks to guarantee the currency
issued by every national bank. The very
worst feature of the original bill is retained
in the substitute-that providing for the issue
of currency by State banks. That feature is
in reality the only excuse for the whole
measure, and is intended to placate the south
and keep 1t from breaking away permanently
from the democratic party. The very
decided failure Of the administrations plans
/ has caused one whole business to be regarded
as farcical and it is now considered very
doubtful whether the House can be forced in.

THE agitation against a common COM
munion cup has reached England, where
psychologists are Illuminating against it,
and on the same principle, against kissing,
even under the mstletoe. They have
further found that there are IL, 600 microbes
t. the square inch in frst-class railway
carriages and 5000 in the third-class.
Now, if they will only tell us how many
there in the cell of the average hermit we
shall be able to decide whether or not it is
best for people who fear contagiOn to live
entirely apart from their fellow men. OF
course, under the reign of the microbe it
will not do to be very friendly with ones
neighbOrs. As method of distributing
the terrible beasts, shaking hands is as bad
as kissing, and the presence of crowd
exhaling microbes at every breath is by all
means to be avoided. In fact carrying the
subject to its logical conclusion, the only
way to he entirely secure from contagion is
to die Then the bacteria cease from trou-
bling and their victim is at rest. But
microbes under the mistletOe! What an
outrageous suggestion! And just at Christ
mas time, too.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?

With the closing year, and the recollec-
ton of the universal business depression
of 1898, and 1894, the question is natural
one-What are the prospects for 1895?
In answering briefly this question, several
sources of information are available-the
reports of mercantile agencies, the bank
clearings of the cities, and the condition of
the industrial classes.
As to the business indication of the mer-
camille agencies, their reports are more
encouraging than those of December 1898.
For the past week, although far behind
the figures of 1892, the Bank Clearings of
seventy-iive cities throughout the country
show an advance of about nine per cent
As to the condition of the industrial
classes, while there are no evidences of
increase in individual wages, the returns of
Dunn's agency, based on the pay rolls of
25O, 600 workers show, that the total
amount of wages in the establishments
where they are employed had increased
about one million of dollars Il month as
compared with the same period in the clos
ing weeks of 1898.
While the signs of business improvement
Throughout the country are not as encour-
aging as they would be if the country were
relieved of the fears of unwiSe and dan
gcrous currency experiments at Washing
ton, vet the fact is undoubted that the
virtual removal of the tariff from the field
of legislative tinkering, has greatly restored
confidence in the future
1t is no less certain that the financial
agitation in Congress, and its possible out
come have clouded the present operations
of capital and Investment, yet this uncer
tainty is relieved by the fact that the
immediate financial future will be deter
mined 10y the next Congress, which will
enjoy at least Il greater respect for intcli-
gencc and capacity than the present one.
Looking back at the gloom and distrust
which Swallowed business in last wears
Christmas-tdc. there is ample reason for
the belief that the country is at last fairly
on the way to the beginning of a permanent
recovery. The steps are slow, and will
continue to be so for some time to come
but they are moving steadily at least in the
right direction.

PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE EYES.

Certain silly experiments, made by Ger
tain silly officials with the eyes of woman
who was murdered few DAYS ago up in
Chatauqua county, have served to fill a
column or two in certain newspapers eager
for sensational nonsense with gravcly-told
details of the experiments and still graver
interviews with Oculists and doctors who

which that person had looked. Into poor

ishly peered to see if perchancc her muir

Two or three of them say they saw some
thing. Doubtless The most elementary
knowledge of optics, anatomy and photo
graphy is enough to prove absolutely that
the something, whatever its outlines, was
not a picture of the criminal, that the old
superstition never had the slightest founda-
