make it soon. II Secretary Carlisle dares
TO make another issue Of $4,000, 600 Of
gold bonds not 100000, but 900, 900 men
should go TO Washington; not with a
paper petition, but with steel Winches-

TENNEssEE's BANK TAX.
The Federal Supreme Court Send
Two Cases Back.


Two Cases Back.
Washington, March l9.-The suits in
volving the validity and cope of the gem
eral tax law of the state of Tennessee,
which have been pending in the supreme
court of the United States for several
months, were sent back to the state courts
to-day for disposition, without an express
sion by the federal bench upon the merits
OF the statute. There were three of the
cases In two of them the staUe OF Ten
uessee and the county of Shelby sued the
Union and Planters Bank and the Bank
OF Commerce, of Memphis, in the circuit
court of the United States for the west
ern district of Tennessee, to recover taxes
on the capital stock of the
corporations alleged to be due
under the statute referred to-
The banks claimed that under their char
ters their capital stock was exempt from
taxation. Counsel for the state and
county conteudcd that the capital stock
and the shares of stock were separate
items and subject TO taxation. Judge
Hammond heard the case and held that
the United States courts had jurisdiction,
and that both the capital stock and the
shares of stock of the corporations were
exempt from taxation.
In the other case, that of the state
OF tennessee and the city of Memphis,
against the Bank Of Commerce, proceed
ings were begun in the local and state
courts and the case was then removed to
the United States court on petition of
the defendants, who averred that ques-
tlOns arising under the constitution of the
United States We're involved. The same
disposition was made of this case by
Judge Hammond as of the other two and
the state and county authorities appealed
to the supreme court of the United States
Justice Gray delivered the opinion of
the court, reversing the decision of the
circuit court on the ground that as the
case was not originally filed in the United
States court, it had no Jurisdiction, and
that in the other cases the petition for
removal from the state court should have
been denied on the ground that it pre-
sented no federal question. The cases
were, therefore, remanded, with instruC-
tion TO dismiss the bills filed and overrule
the petition for transfer In the latter
case Justice Harland dissented on the
ground that the petition for removal was
well founded.

count of the presence Of the pistol She
