THE INCOME TAX.
Speculation as to How the Report
VIII Be Received.

a VIII Htf 1&ecckVeOs
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 1S94.-Now that the
Democratic majority of the Ways and
Means Committee has settled the question of
the imposition Of an individual income tax
in the affirmative, there is much speculation
as to how the report will be received by the
Democratic majority in the House. There
can be no doubt that the action of the Com
mittee will be bitterly opposed by a con-
siderable number of the Democratic repre-
~sentatives, though whether this opposition
will go further than toutspoken declarations
in caucus cannot be foretold.
There are several elements making up this
opposition. Perhaps the most formidable is
that consisting of the advocates of duties ON
sugar and coal and iron ore. The Louisiana
sugar men appear to q v secured some re-
cruits to strengthen their lines.
Representative Oates, heretofore a strict
disciplinafian in party matters, is out this
morning in a letter to one of his home
papers taking issue with the Wilson bill and
declaring for a duty IN sugar and against
free coal and iron ore.
Nearly all the member who nave cherish
ed a hope that they might secure in the
caucus or in the House itself an increase OF
the duty on some commodity in which their
districts are particularly interested, see in
the income tax proposition the agency that
will destroy their hopes, because it will meet
the plea that additional revenue is needed by
the government.
Add to these the Representatives, notably
those from New York and other great inan-
clal centres, who oppose the income tax be-
cause of its anticipated ~far-reaching politi-
cal effects, and also the strong Democratic
contingent that stands with the administra-
ton on all questions, and it is apparent that
the majority of the Ways and Means Com
mittee has before it a most difficult task.
1t would not be surprising if the contest
should, in the end, become as notable for its
length and fierceness as was hat which pre-
ceded the passage of the bill to repeal the
Sherman silver purchase act.
A fact hat causes some comment is the
abandonment by the committee of the plan
of bringing these revenue fe~atures-income
tax, whiskey tax, cigarette and playing card
tax-before Congress as a separate measure.

MLAuGHLINs ENTERTAIN.

The Mclaughlin Association entertained
its friends last night. At least five hundred
ladies accepted the hospitality of the club.
The rooms were tastefully decorated, and in
table loaded with the good things prepared
by a caterer.
Excellent talent had been engaged, and,
with the assistance of a dozen artists, the
evening was made to pass pleasantly. Mr..
Dennis Mclaughlin was present with his en-
tire family, and from a seat on the platform
presided over the festivities. Songs by John
Sheehan, George Barnard and Peter Ken
nedy provoked applause. Thomas Ballantine,
the humorist, kept the guests in continued
good humor, while Prof. Hegeman delighted
them with numerous piano selections. Prof.
F%erdennez, a violin artist, scored a big hit.

H0BOKEN COMMON COUNCIL.
Public Library Scheme and KelIy's
Trolley Oker Tonight.

A decidedly important meeting of the
Hoboken Common Council will be held this
evening in the Council Chamber in the City
Hall. The matter of rapid transit will re-
ceive much attention. Objections will be
heard to granting the North Hudson County
Railway Company permission to u the
trolley system through Hoboken. At the
last meeting of the Council a resolution was
adopted granting the company the privi-
lege to repave Willow avenue,
between Third and Fourteenth streets,
repave one block of Washington street and
give the city $1,000. The fact that Jim"
Kelly and "Joe" Weinthal fathered the reso-
luton Immediately acted as a 'hoodoo."
However, the combination in the Council
passed the resolution, and tonight DIRECTORS
to it will be heard.
Many believe the North Hudson should be
granted the privilege, but they desire to see
the privilege paid for in a larger sum than
set forth in the resolution.
Washington street is wide enough for the
trolley, but with Willow avenue it is differ
ent. It is too narrow for a double track.
The company has a right to lay tracks on
Park avenue, at least the right of pre-
emption, and it is thought that if the city al
lows the trolley system the company will run
cars north on Willow avenue and south on
L dIh dfCAuC. -
1t is expected that the Committee on
Streets will also report tonight on the ap-
plication of the Rutherford road. An ad-
verse report is expected.
Another matter the Council should act on
is the sewer question. But the majority of
the members are afraid of it, and it looks
as. if it would slumber till the Board of
Health appealed to the courts.
The Public Library Trustees will ask the
Council to consent to the issuing of bonds
for the buying of a site and the construction
thereon of a public library building. The
expose in The JERSEY CITY NEWS of the
action of the trustees in offering $12,0 600 for
a site which is worth only $4,000, has caused
a mild sensation, and the probabilities are
there will be one Councilman with backbone
enough to oppose the scheme.
President Tierney, in speaking of the Com
pany's wants, said this morning that he was
willing to give whatever the city thought
fair. He would not name a figure, or a per
cent. of profits that he thought right. He
He said chat the people ought to consider
the case of the Jersey City and Bergen road,
in Jersey City, which paid nothing for the
privilege of employing electricity. He said:
ALREADY we nave given the city $780, 900
for utilizing Fifteenth street and a part of
of Willow avenue. The city derives a bene-
fit and this ought not to be forgotten

been Secretary of the A. A. U. since its or

more competent man could not be chosen.

tore at the bars of the doors continually and
at the same time he kept up a crying and a
moaning that was piteous to hear. A con-
slant guard is kept over him to prevent him
doing himself any harm.
