What Ii Wrong In the Incomc-Tns

We do not know how much credit
ought TO be given to the reports which
now daily appear in the papers inform
,ng us that the United States Supreme
Court is expected 10 pronounce the in
come tax law unconstitutional What Is
wrong in that law? We suppose the court
Hnds that IL violates paragraph 4. section
IN, OF the Federal Constitution, which
reads as follows:
"No capitation or other direct tax SHAH
be laid, unless In proportion 10 the cen
sus or enumeration heretofore directed
20 be taken.
Here are two points
First. That the income tax is direct
tax.
Second. That "a direct tax must be laid
upon population and not upon wealth
That is TO say. thousand millionaires
In New York city must not be required
20 pay more under an income tax law
chan is paid by any thousand men IN
Virginia.
There are other objections made 10 the
income tax; but If the court susialns the
contentious we have just quoted 1t VIII
not be necessary TO raise any others.
But what then? Some persons say maj
n will be necessary TO convene congress
In extra session in order to provide Inc
revenue necessary 10 the support ot Inc
government Others say II VIII not De,
necessary. Anyhow. Nir. Cleveland heea
not be afraid Of an extra session. On 'Ae
contrary. the Republican Congress WOULD
probably prove itself totally unable u
prapple with the measures which would
come up for consideration. Wisely did
.be Republicaas act in refusing at the
regular session TO do anything mat might
compel the holding OF an extra session
But nobody can foreteil what MI
Cleveland will do. lie viii carefully study
cthe situation" before he decides whether
20 call an extra session or not.

Pa. ps,rayraphs Touching silver.

Yesterdays Dispatch contained two
Paragraphs worthy Of the attention of
ill financial experts.
First. That Mr.. A. j. Balfour, Member
OF Parliament, in an address before the
Timetable League at the Mansion
House London, England, on Tuesday
last. said that the time was not far
distant when men Of all parties
would agree to introduce into interna-
tionaI transactions some medium OF ex-
change less hurtful TO Industry than
the present absurd system.
Second. That in the upper house or the
Prussian Landtag yesterday Baron Won
Manteuffei moved 10 refer TO special
committee Count Won Mierbach's proposal
20 accelerate the settlement OF the cur
rency situation by means OF an interna-
fional agreement. and the motion was
carried without debate.

4 LinlO Indeed.

The Lewiston (Me) Journal OF the 81
reports an interview with United States
Senator Frye. which reads as If Frye
was trying to supersede Reed as the Re
publican nominee for President In 1896
The senator spoke as follows:
Il would not submit TO any insult, 20
any aggressions on our rights, 10 any
violation OF the Monroe doctrine. 10 any
Interference with Hawaii or Samoa, so
far as our interests are concerned. or
with our project OF constructing the Me

.ReprcsentatiOn without Popuin-
tfOn.r

This is the phrase which one OF our
Exchanges applies TO the system upon
which the United States Senate is con-
tttuted. That paper argues that fhc
Senate obstructs the transaction OF bust
ness. and IL in fact by no means such u
body as the fathers oe the republic
thought they were providing for when
they made 1t the organic law that each
State should have two senators. Repre-
fontation without population. or rather
without regard TO population. is Il system
which once obtained In Virginia. and
worked well. We suppose that the inter-
6sts OF Richmond were never better cared
for in the State Legislature than when
fhe had only one member Of the House

a MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Murdered Man Found Floating in
the Kootenai River.

This week we have to chronicle
one of the most CHASTITY finds ever
reported along the Kootenai river.
1t was that of the body of man
who had been murdered and a
weight attached to his body and it
then sunk in the river At least
the evidence would bear out these
conclusions.
Last Sunday as George B. Whit
ney, a rancher, living about thirty
miles below town was rowing his
boat around a bend in the river, at
a point about a mile below the
Whitney ranch, he discovered the
body of floater lodged in some
drift-wood. Fastening the body to
log, so that it could not float
away, he reported the discovery,
and the next day, in company with
| OWO OOlCIS ISOuIilCu w uldh6
an investigation. The body was
found in a badly decomposed state,
but sufficiently preserved to bring
out the following startling facts:
On the breast were found four
gashes, plainly made by knife or
dagger, one of which was just over
the heart. In attempting to raise
the body out of the water to exam
inc it further, it was found that the
feet were pinnioned together with
wire. 1t was all the three men
could do, each with an oar, to raise
the limbs out Of the water leading
to the conclusion that a weight was
attached to the body. Having
satisfied themselves that the man
had been murdered, and that it was
case for the coroner, they did not
investigate further, pending the
arrival of that official. The body
was so decomposed that it would be
impossible to identify it. 1t was
plainly not an Indian but a white
man above medium size. There
was no clothing on the body by
which Identification might have
been possible.
J There can be but one conclusion
The man had been murdered, and
the assassin, or assassins, had used
great deliberation in planning the
disposal of the body. They had
removed the clothing, so that if the
victim should be discovered, there
would be less evidence to identify it
Then they had attached a weigh
to the body and dropped it into
the river. During the spring rais'
of the river, drift had caugh
it and foated it down the river t.
= the point where found.
LATER
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1895-06-01

DR.. Sabin, County Coroner, re-
turned last night from holding an
inquest over the body. He reports
that instead of four wounds in the
breast there were eight. The strokes
of the weapon had all descended
from the same direction, indicating
that the victim had been asleep or
laying in an intoxicated state and
that the assassin had done his work
speedily. A twenty-pound rock
was found fastened to the body.
The wire was coiled around the
rock in very careful manner, and
five or six wires, about Is inches
in length, held it to the feet. II
was also discovered that the body
would float, even with the rock at.
tached
There was little to identify the
body. He was man about si1
feet tall and would weigh about 20C
pounds. The little fngre on tn,
left hand was stiff and could no
be Strengthened out. Aside from
these facts, nothing further remain
ed lin evidence. Coroner SabiI
summoned jury and a virdict il
accordance with the above fact
was rendered. The dead man wa
buried by the river bank.
There is no clue whatever t,
clear up the mystery. The assas
sins did their foul work we'll. An,
this remains the status of tn
