The President VIII wag Along without
Any Extra Session.
"Thcre will be no extra session of con-
gress." So said a gentleman after long
conversation with the president. While
de did not say that the president had SO
stated, he inferred as much, for, after
speaking in that fashion, he continued:
paper as strong as you care to without
fear of error. The president is determined
to go through the intermission without
an extra session, if such thing be posi-
BILE. OF course, some new complications
may arise to demand that congress be
called together before December, but they
will have to do with something other than
the revenue.
"Thc supreme court decision on the in
come tax case will cause, OF course, n de-
cided loss in the expected revenues. But
the decrease will not be nearly SO much rs
will be necessary to demand the assistance
of congress to provide funds to defray the
regular Expenses OF the government. He
is bit surprised by the decision, as he had
all along thought the tax constitutional.
And at one time he was inclined to think
that should the court fail to render de-
cision declaring the whole act to be con-
stitutional, an extra session would De in
evitable.
But the reports which he has since re.
ceived from the treasury department, re-
ports based on Garrett calculations, war.
rant him liz believing that there will be
ample revenue for all government needs.
Should he be mistaken he will not. he

what Printing Bureau Expert Has to
Say About Some samples.
WASHINGTON, April ia quantity of
the counterfeit postage stamps were sent
from the postoffice department to the
bureau of printing and engraving to be
examined by Claude II. johnson, chief of
the bureau. After careful study johnson
said that frcm certain peculiarities he be-
lieved that the paper on which the coun-
terfeits were printed was manufactured
in England. and was gummed before it
was printed. It could have been made il.
this country. however, without violation
of law. rs the manufacture Of paper for
postcge stamps is not prohibited, as Is that
intended for greenbacks.
Recently the bureau has decided to
ing watermark and the manufacture Of
paper with this mark will fall within the
counterfeit laws. None Of this paper has
been used as yet, however, as the bureau
Is using up its large stock of unmarked
paper The ink used on the counterfeit,
johnson says, is of an ordinary charac-
ter and could have been obtained easily.
The specially weak point OF the present
counterfeits is in the plate and press used.
The impressions are good enough to de-
ceivc ordinary inspection, such as they
would receive in the mails, but their
fraudulency Is clearly evident on close
examination without the aid of magnify
Ing glasses.

THE BOYS IN BLUE IN POLITICS.
And To BE Continued Therein by the Pos
terity of the Veterans.

And To BE Continued Therein by the Pos
| terity of the Veterans.
| CALDWELL, O., Apil 11.-According to
present indications politics and sentiment
will be mixed at the twenty first annual
soldiers reunion to be held here in June.
There has been issued over the signature
Of the National Committee, James L.
Dalzell chairman, William A. Slenker,
secretary" an address to the soldiers of
the Union or their sons the opening
paragraphs of which say: '1nasmuch as
the constitution and laws of the Grand
Army of the Republic forbid any partisan
political movement-men of all parties
comprising that organization-it becomes
necessary once more for tine survivors Of
che Union army to take the initiative in
the great political campaign of 1895, SO
near at hand, and come together for de-
liberation and decision in their great
annual council of the national reunion,
this year to be held in June"
Dalzell then calculates that with the
adult sons of old soldiers the veterans
now control 3, 500, 900 votes, and are a C IN
trolling force in politics if they will only
act together. He proceeds as follows: ''In
these days OF curtailing or denying PEN
sions, defaming, degrading and depreci-
and RELOCATING us to the rear everywhere
to make room for draft sneaks, towards
and their sons, it is high time we meet
with our sons and agree on q common
platform and hurl our vote once in solid
mass to subserve our own interests only
in 1885, The interests of these men who
saved the Union cannot antagonize its
welfare. Let us demand our full share
in all conventions and on all tickets,
township, city, state, county, and national,
or destroy the party that shall deny it to
us, no matter what the party Is.
Let US send out our ultimatum to the
cursed demagogues and millionaires
who have been riding roughshod over us
in the name of the flag they deserted in
war. Let US teach our sons before we go
home to meet the towards who left us to
do the fighting while they remained at
home coming our blood into money, and
who for thirty years have been filling us
with the east wind. We must unite We
must speak out. The loyal men of the
north will vote with US. 1t is for this
purpose we shall assemble here in June
and let every state be represented there
by brave, true men,"

Suit Against the income Tax
with New Features.
NEW MAN ALSO AS COMPLAINANT.

Proposes to Fight the Payment of Tax on
Rules to Fit the Supreme Court Decision
President Determined Not to Call an
Extra Session Of Congress II Revenue
Continues short-Capital Miscellany.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Jere NJ. Will
son, counsel for John G. Moore, of New
York city, in his income tax suit, when
asked regarding his intention to again
test the law, said: 1T will be essentially
the old issue over again, except that ie
viii be presented to n full bench, and the
decision therefore will be decisive one way
Or the other. The purpose of the new suit
will not be SO much to raise new questions
rs to present the same questions for final
adjudication. There is no doubt that the
law will be passed on finally and decisively
sooner or later" But news from New
York is that a new suit on partly new
grounds has been begun to test the con-
stitutionality of the law.
Railways Are Real Estate.
The suit is brought by Charles Allen, Of
Greenfield, Mass, and is, like the Moore
suit, against a corporation TO prevent it
from paying the tax. The claim is made
that if the tax is collectib!e upon the
coIrpany's income and profits it is a di-
rect tax in respect of the railway proper
t., fixtures and appurtenances operated
and owned by the defendant company, by
being imposed upon the income and prof.
its thereof, the same being real estate. and
is likewise n direct tax in respect of the
personal property by being imposed upon
the income and profits thereof, which di-
rect taxes are not apportioned among the
several states, as required by the consti-
tuition of the United States.
Claim of on-Uniformity Repeated.
1t is further averred that il the income
tax be held to be not a direct tax then
its provisions are nevertheless unconsti-
tutional in that they are not uniform
throughout the United States as re-
quired by the constitution. The non-uni-
formity of the law is then pointed out at
length, after which the bill declares that
the exemption of insurance companies,
savings banks and institutions construct
ed on the mutual plan, etc, is unconsti'
tutional in that these exemptions opcr-
ate to arbitrarily free said companies
from their just proportion of taxation.
New Regulations Nearly Ready.
Bat the men who have the tax to collect
are not worrying about new suits. They
are making regulations to fit the
conditions produced by the old suit and
expect to complete them today. All the
main points to be covered had been prac-
tically agreed upon last night. There
seems to be no question that al taxes,
whether state, county or municipal, OF
whether on personal or real property, ex.
cept such as are intended to directly ben
eft the property taxed. such as street i'm
provement taxes, may be deducted from
the income to be returned. As to rents
from mixed property, such as furnished
hotels, the commissioner will no doubt
hold that the owner must himself sepa-
arate the taxable from the non-taxable
and state the proportion of the rents de-
rived from each.

DOESN'T RECOGNIZE hYPNOTISM.
That Kansas Supreme Court Decision in
the Mcdonald Case.

TOPEKA, April lin an interview
Chief Justice Horton, of the Kansas
supreme court, explains away the general
acceptation that the court had recognized
hypnotism as a defensive plea in a muir
der case. The facts in the case are these:
A man named Gray procured @ gun
and melted man named Mcdonald to
kill one Patton, Gray making McDonald
believe that Patton was traducing the
character OF Mrs. Mcdonald, Mcdonald,
who cid the killing, was acquitted.
Gray was convicted in the lower court
and the supreme court affirmed the de-
cision. The case will be known far and
wide as the hypnotic CAGE" Judge
Horton says: "The Mcdonald case was
not presented to the supreme court If it
had been and the state evidence presented
to US against Gray had been presented
against Mcdonald the supreme court, had
il the power, would have ruled for Nc.
Donald's conviction The acquittal Of Nc
Donald seems to have been u miscarriage
of iustice"
