mond and j. III. Maxwell present.
The minutes of the last meeting

The monthly report of the super

Income Tax Decision.

The Supreme Court on Monday
decided the income tax case, declar-
ing that part of the law unconstitu-
tional which imposed taxes on the
/ rentals of real estate and municipal
and State bonds. No decision was
rendered ON the remainder of the
law for the reason, as stated by
Chief Justice Fuller, that the court
was evenly divided.
Dissenting opinions were sub
mitted by Justice Field, Harlan
and White. The Court was unani-
nous in the opinion that Congress
had no authority to tax county,
municipal and State bonds or forms
of Indebtedness. But on every
other point it was divided. Justice
Harlan and White dissented from
the decision exempting the income
tax. Justice Field rendered very
strong opinion in favor of the I'M
constitutionality of the entire law
No statement was made as to how
the members of the court stood
personally on that part of the act
on which they were evenly divided.
But Justice White, in his dissent
ing opinion, argued very decisively,
not to say dogmatically, in favor OF
the entire law with the exception
of the taxation of State and munich
pal Indebtedness. From the dis
senting opinion of Justice Harlan,
which was written in much more
judicial vein than that of Mr..
White, it is inferred that he up
holds the entire act, excepting that
part relating to State and municipal
bonds.
The pith of the decision is that
the rich debt holders should pay
little or no tax, and the poor debt
payers should be taxed to the utter
most farthing. 1t is a Dread Scott
decision shifted from chattel slavery
to wage slavery.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

With local applications, as they cannot

mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is
not quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed of the best

Government Banks to the Front.

The Philadelphia Item after describing
the manipulations of United States rail-
road stocks and bonds by the gold Roths-
child ring says;
Cali of which clearly proves, that the
less this Nation borrows of foreigners,
the better it is off. This nation can make
all the money it needs to carry on its
affairs, and make a better money than
any now made by foreigners, and good
deal more of it
"In sheer self-defense this Government
must make all of its own money and loan
it out through Government banks of dis
count to the people at cost The security
taken will be the security of all thus
resources of the United States.
This constant borrowing of money
from abroad is ridiculous and criminal
farce ="
The "tender footed" leaders of the
Peoples party who are afraid to say
government bank" above a whisper,
will, ere long, be driven out of their
cowardly retreat and compelled to COM
plete the financial plank of the platform
by adding the demand for government
banks of deposit and loan, to take the
place of the present system of private
banks or be relegated to the rear 1t is
inexcusable cowardice of the self-consti-
tuted leaders that is hampering the party.
They appear to be as much afraid of bug
a-boos as children in the dark. Such
leaders will find themselves at the tail
before they know it.

The whole problem of crime as to-day
expressed in society is summed up in the
problem of poverty; we have churches
enough, schools enough, moral sentiment
enough to regenerate the world in a
decade were it not for the awful pressure
brought to bear on nine-tenths of the
human race, which all but forces them to
be vicious. 1t is not to Law and Order
League that we must lack for future pro-
gress; it is to the orderly unfolding of the
manifestations.-Henry c. Vrooman in

The Peoples Party of rlaryIand.

Representative members of the Peoples
party of Maryland held an organizing
conference in Baltimore on Saturday last
Twelve or fourteen counties of the State
were represented.
After free discussion of the political
situation in the State it was the unanimous
opinion of the meeting that thorough
organization of the Peoples party in the
State should be effected and the following
preamble and platform was agreed npon :
PLATFORM OF THE PEOPLES PARTY OF
MARYLAND.
Believing that the dominion of the
Stars and Stripes, of Law and Order
should be extended so as to embrace our
industrial and commercial relations, as
we'll as those now called POLITICAL and
that no people can be free unless they
are masters of the instruments required i'll
the production of those things necessary
to life, we demand:
GENERAL DEMANDS.
I.-Direct issuance by the Government
of the medium of exchange independent
of private banking
TI-Government ownership of mo-
nopolies.
III.-The abolition of child-labor and
the sweating system by federal statute.
IV.-The establishment of the Initiative
and Referendum and the right of Imperial
Mandate, or the right of the people to
recall ther servants when proven faithless.
What no more interest bearing
bonds be issued by the United States
Government.
The following State Committe were
appointed
Walter Vrooman, Baltimore Enocli
Noyes, Port Deposit; John w Mari,
Catonsville Hugh Mitchell, NJ. G.
Ellzey, NJ. D., Cuberstone S. Lynn
Percy, Cambridge.
Mr. Vrooman was elected Chairman of
the State Committee and assigned the
duty of issuing an address to accompany
the platform, but he was seized with a
sudden spell of sickness which prevented
him from preparing the address and per-
fecting other details in time for publica-
ton this week
A nominating convention will be called
the latter part of August or first of Sep
TENDER 1t is the purpose of the party to
place State and County tickets in the
field, and afford the voters an oppor-
tunity to break away from the two old
Rothschld parties, whose sole purpose
seems to be selling the people out to the
Jew gold bankers of Threadneedle and
Wall streets.

Mr.. E E. Marsh, trustee of one ofthe
schools i'll the First district has got up
quite breeze by his opposition to the
American Mechanics raising flags OIL the
public school houses. Mr.. Marsh opposes
the flag raising on principle and not in
opposition to the flag or the Order. If a
flag is, i'll future, to become part of the
public school paraphernalia the School
Board should take charge of the business
Any other order or society may take up
the fad and insist on furnishing school
house flags.
There is a tremendous conflict going
on in some parts of the West between the
Protestant and Catholic denominations
over the public schools The Catholics
ask permission in some cases for the Sis.
ter teachers, to give religious instruction
before or after school hours, in the Cath
Ollie religion to such children as the
parents will permit to take the gratuitous
religious instruction. The Protestants
deny the right to use the schools in any
way in the interest of any religious sect

lie church and all Protestant orders, such

by the American Mechanics no doubt is
stimulated by this opposition of the
Jesuit order of the Catholic church.
The A P. A. is society organized to
make war on the Jesuits and there is a
battle to the death or expulsion being
carried on by them. The war is spread,

going for the Jesuits without gloves The
school house flag business is but ripple

curious to learn the nature of this sectar-
ian war should send for sample copy OF
the above paper. By examining one
number of the paper, all about the con-
test will be learned At present it looks
like it was to be the biggest conflict of the
kind ever experienced in this country.

A Competent Officer.

AS it is reported that Mr.. Henry
Umscheid will possibly be candi-
date for the office of district clerk,
or will retire from Office at the end
of the term in order to have more
time TO attend to his increasing

the name of Mr.. Macmillan Sutor
as most competent man for the
office. Mr.. Sutor is fine penman,
first class accountant. and his
long service in the office, as first
assistant collector, makes him
familiar with its every detail. Be-
sides he speaks several languages,
and above all is polite and cour-
teous to all alike. He would give

Concerning Thomas Keene's per-
Torrance of Richelieu, the At
lanta Constitution, says: "The
audience at the Lyceum theatre
last night saw a presentation of
Bulwer's masterpiece, "Riche-
lieu," that need not fear COMPARE
son or criticism. And it is a mat
ter of local congratulation that
such large audience witnessed
the well known masterpiece and
testified their appreciation by such
enthusiastic and discriminating
applause. Mr.. Thomas Keene de-
serves such testimonial. His
art has ripened with years and
study. He is today an admirable
type of the legitimate actor, with
honOrs honestly won and with a
fame from which nothing can de-
tract.
"Mr. Keene's supporting COM
pany is excellent; particular credit
should, be given to Mr.. Hennig,
Mr.. Eagleson, Mr.. Lowell and

III. III. Martin, a San Antonio
broker, doing business on East
Houston street, and formerly on
Alamo plaza under the firm name
OF Martin & Co., was arrested yes.
terday afternoon by Deputy United
States Marshal Kilgore, OH a charge
OF attempt to bride. Being unable
to give bond, he was placed in the
county jail last night.
Mr.. Martins. arrest was the re-
suit of letter he wrote to ex-
Congressman Il. M. Paschal, dated
Decem Der l, 1894, while the latter
was in Office in Washington, d. c.,
in which he proposed that syndi-
cate be formed for securing liberal
appropriation for a railroad be-
tween San Antonio and Browns
Vile; also, for border line from
Brownsville to Laredo. The appro-
priation tor the border line was to
be divided between the syndicate,

to consist of Messrs. w. II. Grain,
J. d. Sayers, T. NJ. Paschal and
Martin & Co. The letter closed
with, "This strictly confidential"
Mr.. Paschal regarded the letter
as an insult and replied that the
proposition was an attempt to
bride, pure and simple. He
stated that the writer should be
made to wear a felon's stripes, and
referred him to the statutes. He
referred the letter to the United
States district attorney, and as the
grand jury adjourned yesterday an
Indictment was reported against
Mr.. Martin charging him with at
tempt to bride.
Mr.. Martin says he did not in.
tend the letter as an offer Of brib'
cry and that his offer was made in
an ordinary business way.
