HAPPY OUTCOME.

Regarding the settlement of the
troubles between Mexico and Guatemala
the Chicago Inter Ocean appropriately
says: "The peaceful settlement of the
controversy between Mexico and Guate-
mala is matter of continental interest.
This is not time in which strife be-
tween two American republics can be
waged without danger to all the rest.
There are indications of a European de-
sire to repossesH American domains that
long have been independent. and that
now, without exception, are republican.
Union of all the American republics in
support of the Monros doctrine now is de-
sirable; the accomplishment of such a
union is task worthy of the best efforts
of craftsmanship.
A pan American republican alliance,
offensive and defensive, in case of invaE-
ion by any OF its members by European
power, is need of the time. But as Il
part of such alliance the establishment
of an international court of arbitration
we'll may be considered. The American
federation of republics should be in
eternal domestic peace and in eternal
readiness to repel foreign interference.

DON N'TPAY AGENT
The United States Supreme Court
in Doubt as to the COnstitu-
tiOnality
oF THE GREAT INCOME TAX
gatrl, of Decisions that Should Dis
gust Every True American
Citizen.

WASHINGTON, April S--Chief Justice
Fuller this morning read the decision of
the supreme court in the income tax
case. The opinion of the chief justice
AS read during the first hour was his
torcal and reached this conclusion:
The court can find no difference between
a tax on land itself and tax on rents, or
the income derived from the land. The
court. therefore, is of the opinion that
the tax on rents or landed investments
is direct taxation and unconstitutional.
The court next decided that the tax was
unconstitutional, as far as it related to
income from state, county and municipal
bonds, 1t was next ruled that the fact
that the law was pronounced unconstl-
tutional in these two particulars did not
invalldate the law as a whole. 1t was
announced in this latter conclusion that
the court v az equally divided and rem
dered no opinion. The lower court hav-
ing ruled in favor Of the law, by a divi-
ded court, the law would stand except as
TO rents and state, county and municipal
bonds, and on these two points it was
directed that the judgment be now re-
yersed Justice Field read the first dis
senting opinion. He finished before two
o'clock. He said: II am OF the opinion
that the whole law of 1894 is null and
void" He laid stress upon the fact that
the law does not exempt the judges of
United States courts from the payment
of the tax. 1T was not right he said,
that the supreme court should remain
silent ard make no protest, when many
United States judges, drawing small
salaries, would be affected because of
the law" He called attention to letter
once written by Chief Juetice Chase to
the treasury officials, protesting against
the reduction of an income tax from the
salaries of United States judges. Justice
White dssented and his opinion was
largely extemporaneous very long. APP
parently he favored upholding the whole
law. Justice Harlan followed Justice
White in dissenting opinion, and the
case closed. Nothing was said as to how
any Of the justices STOOD save the three
who read dissenting opinions.

against the Marine insurance company,
regarding the burning of the schooner
yacht, Mohican, which sailed from New

Mohican was perfectly useless craft,
grossly overvalued and was destroyed in

sci for DR.. Herring says the latter had
offers to insure tn yacht before she left

WAsHINGroN. April THE national
banks holding the new Belmont Morgan
bonds are beginning TO substitute them
as the basis OF circulation for the old
fours, which heretofore constituted the
bulk of the deposits for this purpose.
The exceptionally high prices bid for the
new Issue have appreciably affected the
value of the fours, and they are being
withdrawn, it is thought, for the purpose
of realizing on the advance, Besides,
the new bonds will not expire until long
after the fours have been redeemed.
During the past week the increase in
national bank circulation amounted to
about Sl,l5O,00O, and the greater part Of
this WAS based on new bonds. This
amount, however, does not repr.se the
total of bonds deposited in exchange for
the old fours. The increase for the
greater part represents new deposits for
circulation which have been made by
banks in the east, but in the west and
northwest.
1t is believed at the treasury depart
ment that before long the greater part
of the fours will! be withdrawn and the
new issue substituted.
