AROUND THE EMPIRE PARISH.
Chataignier.

April s, 1895.
Yesterday was Palm Sunday, and as
usual the pews were sold. They
brought but little. owing to the hard
times.
Miss Lille Swayze was suddenly call
ed to Opelousas last Thursday to see
her mother who is very ill. We hope
she will soon recover and that Miss
Lille will be among us again to con-
tinue her school.
DR.. C. A. Harley made a flying trip
to Eunice last week.
Sheriff Fontenot and his little son
spent Sunday out here.
Born to Mr.. afai Mrs. B. Lafeur a
girl. We congratulate the parents on
the arrival of the little stranger.
Miss Lillian Harley returned last
week from a visit to friends in Eunice
and vicinity.
Mr.. Lucius Courville and some friends
from Eunice we've in Chataignier last
week.
The farmers are very busy and the
crops make a fair showing, considering
many difficulties.
Mr.. J. P. Lafeur's little baby is still
in a dying condition. 1t has been sick
for nearly 40 days. How sad! 4
DR.. j. A. Haas, OF Vile Plate, was
called to Chataignier last week on a
professional visit.
C. S. Elms was on a visit to his l1lcle
DR.. C. A. Harley, last week.
Mr.. d. P. Laf1eur, formerly of Chatai-
gnier, but now of Mamou, is visiting
his children.
The correspondent Of Eunice, who
writes to the Clarion, has entirely for
gotten himself, we hear but we think,
that although he trespassed on newspa-
per laws, still it is clear he has his en-
ployer's interest at heart. My young
friend, as the Clarion could not print
advertisements of Frankel e. Meyer
among your notes, still such goodness
should be rewarded, and the firm should
take your good will for your unsuccess-
full deed.
DR.. V. A. Miller, who graduated in
Nashville, Tenn, University, some two
weeks ago., bias gone to New Orleans to
pass the Board of Health examination,
and then locate out here somewhere.
We congratulate the handsome young
NJ. D. on his success and welcome him
in our midst.

The Income Tax Decision.
N. 0. Times-Democrat, April 9.

N. 0. Ti~mes-Democrat, April 8.
The United States Supreme Court
rendered a decision yesterday in the in
come tax case. 1t affirms the cOnstitu-
tiOnaiity of the act, but by an evenly
divided court-4 to 4-and strikes out
two OF its most important sections, de-
claring a Federal tax on income derived
from rents and on interest from State
or municipal bonds unconstitutional,
null and void. This greatly emascu-
lates the law, and when we consider
further that such OF the act as remains
lives not by virtue of any ruling of the
Supreme Court, but by the decision Of
the lower court, the income tax law is
left in a very weak AMI demoralized
condition. The Supreme Court standing
equally divided. it is practically as
though no decision vas reached by it,
and the ruling Of the court holds. On
the two points, however, bearing on the
income from real estate and State and
municipal bonds, a majority of the
court is agreed, and these sections are,
therefore, nullifed.
The decision will very materially re-
duce the expected revenue for the year,
and threatens US with a succession OF
deficits. Some of the law is left, it is
true, but we are not likely to get much
revenu from it. The Times-D Democrat
has always believed-and so stated
that the income tax would not produce
the revenue expected, not at least for
several years to come. Now that it has
received SO serious a blow, we do not
see much chance of getting any revenue
whatever under it. The ruling of the
Supreme Court will encourage its oppo-
nents to renewed attacks, and the sta
tus of that tribunal will throw an ele-
ment of doubt over it. The court, as
we have noticed, stands equally divided
on the question of constitutionality or
uDconstitntionality-4 to 4. The ninth
justice, Judge jackson, is i'll, and was
unable to consider the matter. Should
the law come up again in any form,
with him on the bench, or some success
sor, its fate will depend on this ninth
man. This brings in an element of
great doubt, and will render it a piece
of folly on the part Of the Treasury De-
partment to figure at all upon income
from this source.

MORA CLAIM sIDE-IssUEs.

Injunction Suit OF James Dexter
Against Joseph & er miller.
A suit for injunction growing cut of the
famous Mora Claim, now pending in the
Department of War, was filed yesterday by
James E. Dexter against Joseph p Ger
miller
In the opening paragraph in his bill in
Nathaniel Paige was ,priorto May IS, 1892.
attorney for Antonio MaXinlO Mora who is
now trying ngtoFecoveT Overcome anda halfnill-
ion dollars from the Spanish government for
injuries received to himself and his property
at the hands of Spanish soldiers in Cuba. 1t
was understood that Paige is to receive 40
per cent. ofthe amount to Dc recovered from
Spain.
Prior to the date mentioned above Mr..
Dexter for consideration received an as
signment of b portion of the lawyers pro-
spective interest in the claims expected TO
be paid Dexter states that he transferred
two thousand dollars worth of his own
prospective interest TO the defendant to this
suit for 500. A pronIisscry note for the
amount, payable In three months, WAS given,
and on default OF its payment, Dexter
claimed, GermfIler agreed TO re-trapsfer his
interest in fee to the petitioner.
Though the proceedings described above
were entered into in 1892, tie petitioner
claimed, no payment Of the S400, or any
part of it has been made. Bexter has
therefore, called upon the court to eDiOin
Mr. Gcrmiller from transferring The interest
he now holds to the claim, and asks that
the letraiIsfer already made 90 him be vacated
