How IL Works.

The rank injustice of the income
tax law in the shape in which the SUI
preme court decision has left it is be-
coming apparent everywhere The
Cleveland Plain Dealer gives two
practical illustrations occurring in
that city. A citizen of Cleveland has
large interests in vessel property and
also large interests in real estate. Both
are assumed to be productive and to
return him much more than the "a 900
allowed by the income tax law. Un-
der the decision he makes no return of
income derived from rents of his real
estate, but he must pay two per cent
on every dollar of income from his
vessel property, which gives employ
ment to an army of men afloat and
ashore and contributes to the building
up of the commerce of Cleveland.
Another citizen has large capital in
vested in manufactures in ths city,
the presence of which not only gives
employment to hundreds of men, but
is directly the cause of other indus
tries being established there and sup
ports tradesmen of various kinds. His
neighbor has nothing invested in
manufactures or commerce. but is a
large holder Of state, county and mu-
nicipal securities in Ohio and other
states. The former will have to pay
two per cent on every dollar of in
come he receives over $4,000; the lat
ter will not have to pay one cent of
federal income tax.

The city OF Anaconda owes a debt
of gratitude to Mayor Thornton for
his action last night in calming the
troubled municipal waters and pre-
venting what might have resulted in a
serious riot. The returns of the recent
city election, which the law directed
should be canvassed by the council
last night, were locked up in the clty's
safe, which stands in the city attor-
ney's Office. City Attorney English
was absent from the city, being pro-
fessionally engaged at Boulder To
get at the returns the city authorities
proposed to force open the safe.
and the safe being the city's
property there was no question
as to their right to do so. Their right
to enter Mr.. English's office, however,
was disputed by one of the candidates
who was defeated last Monday, sup
ported by number of friends. Threats
Were made and feeling for time ran
very high. That many of the men on
both sides were armed and ready to
fire at the slightest provocation, there
is very little doubt In this emergency
Mayor Thornton showed his cool and
level head. BY his advice the council
ordered the police who had been in
structed to open the safe, to retire, de-
claring that under the circumstances
no further effort would be made TO
procure the returns at present.
The law in its provisions respecting
the canvass of the returns last night is
directory, not mandatory, so that the
election of last Monday is not in the
least invalidated As soon as Mr..
English returns he will of course pro-
duce the papers and disprove the
charge that a deliberate and premedi-
tated effort was made to block the
newly elected officers from taking
their seats.

THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST.
SUNDAY, APRIL Il, 1895.
Easter.

To-day the Christian world COM
memorates and considers the two most
important facts In the life of Christ
death and the resurrection. Easter is
full of deepest meaning to every one
who accepts the Christian religion; it
leads to earnest and serious thought
upon the supreme realities of life and
death. All men must die; and all men
hope to live again-at least the philo-
sophers. Christian and pagan, tell us
that the desire for immortality is in
nate in the human mind. But the
knowledge we have of life hey ond the
grave is so limited that thousands of
thoughtful and earnest men and
women hesitate to believe there is any
such life at all Easter teaches the
lesson of faith. 1t teaches how i'm
possible it is for a finite mind to Crap
pie with the order of the universe. It
teaches belief in God, the final destiny
of man. the realty of the future life,
the revelation which came through
Jesus Christ. To those who accept
Christianity the Easter festival, as
understood and interpreted by the
Christian church, comes as a grand
and glorious and gracious blessing. To
Others Easter comes fraught with
deepest suggestion. The world has
been passing through one of its regu-
lar periods of general doubt and unbe-
lief; but the time has come, we think,
when more and more with each an
nual recurrence of the festival Chris
tian people, especially they who in
their desire to be absolutely honest
with themselves have felt misgivings
in their troubled brains, are turning
TO Easter and its central truth with q
devout and warming faith.

OF the making Of books there is still
no end From the Boston Herald we
learn that the total production of
books in this country and in England
during 1894 was, in new works, 1857,
and, including new editions, ASA.
This is slightly less than the product
for 1898, which was, In new books,
4,28l, and, including new editions,
5,134 Novels took the lead of other
books, and included some nota BILE
translations from European fiction.
Law books were more numerous than
in 1893, and juveniles fell far behind.
Among new American books added,
the order is: First, fiction, then po-
litical and social science, then theology,
religion, biography, history, travels
and poetry. There were 1881 books by
American writer's manufactured in
this country, 1885 books were i'm
ported, and 577 books by English and
other foreign authors were made here.
The greatest number of importations
were in theology and religion, and
reached 262 volumes. in 1893 large
number OF volumes, already in hand,
had to be published, though the times
were unfavorable, and in 1894 the pub
fishers, already fearful of hard times,
were more careful about entering into
new engagements. g

while admitting the growth of silver
sentiment, affect to scout at it as cut
ting any figure in politics. Such a
man Is Chauncey M. Depew, who has
just been heard from on the subject
He says that while silver is destined
to be big factor before the next
presidential election, he. Is of the opin-
ion that IL will hardly change a vote
on election day. BY what process OF
reasoning this conclusion is arrived at
is not made known. He gives 1t as
his opinion that the republican ma
tional platform next year "will be
stuffed full of bimetallism IDEAS" but
neither platform is going to figure at
all in the next election" 1t is evidently
Mr.. Depew's opinion that both par
ties will straddle on the silver question
next year and that the election will be
decided not so much by the utterances
as the personality of the candidates
and the influences that support them.
Mr. Depew undoubtedly represents
the Wall street idea and the Wall
street hope and expectation. Party
platforms, according to Depew's way
OF thinking, are something not made to
stand on but are to operate on the same
principle as molasses as means of
catching flies Too often this idea
has proved true, but the people are in
no mood to stand any more such nom
sense. To begin with they will no
longer be deceived by any straddle on
the silver question. Nothing but the
frankest declaration for silver,
couched in the plainest and most I'M
equivocal language, will ever be &C.
cepted by the friends of silver again.
The republican party will not make
any such declaration. We are hoping
that the democratic party will.

Silver In the East.

One of the most encouraging signs
for silver Is the evident discontinue
and alarm of the goldbugs of the East
over the amazingly rapid growth of
silver sentiment. Step by step the
free coinage idea is pushing its way
eastward until to-day it is universally
admitted to be the one great, para :
mount issue confronting the country.
Who one year ago would have had the
hardihood to predict that the demo-
cratic state central committee of ILL.,
nois would call state convention of
the democratic party for no other pur-
pose than to commit the party abso-
lutely to free coinage at the ratio of
sixteen to one? Who would have
prophesied that a man like Congress
man Hepburn, of Iowa, solicitor Of the
treasury under President Harrison.
would be found imploring the repub-
licans east of the Alleghenies s'to take
a firm stand in favor of international
bimetallism with free coinage of silver
at sixteen to one, or otherwise the
democrats, with such platform, will
sweep the country?
Mr.. Hepburn is giving it to the east
ern republicans straight He tells
them that there will not be demo-
cratic state convention held west of
Pennsylvania which will not declare
In favor of the free, unlimited and i'm
mediate coinage of silver" and he
fears that free silver plank in the
democratic platform will draw dan
gerously from the republican ranks:
You people in the East have not the faintest
conception OF the excitement that exists In
western states over the silver question. You
hear t discussed on the trans. on street
corners, In country stores at debating societies,
and Wherever three or four men are seen
earnestly talking togethey you may be certain
that the free and unlimited coinage OF silver is
the topic under discussion. Hundreds OF thous.
ands of copies of pamphlets. illustrated and
written in a catchy vein. are distributed by the
Bi-Metallic league. and are bearing fruit The
newsboys on the trains tell me that they have
no books In stock that sell rapidly as those
arguments on the silver question.
Mr. Hepburn also tells his repub.
lican friends in the East of the folly
of thinking the silver tide can be
stayed any longer by the labored argu-
ments OF the monometallists. Circu-
lars are sent out from New York but
they are not read or are disbelieyed.
Everything that emanates from any,

unlimited and immediate coinage of
silver and will tell the eastern demo-
Gratis that they can take it or leave IL
alone" III the eastern republicans
and eastern democrats should unite on
a gold platform they will make great
mistake, he thinks, as the idea is strong
that the present system of finance
means the elimination of one half the
ultimate redemption money of the
country. No country was ever worse
of for an abundance of good money,
and if the parity of metals is estab-
lished by universal agreement, silver
will be as good money as gold"

the most desperate condition. The histori-
cal events are modernized in regard to So

traitor to Ulysses cause. Ions, a tramp,
who proves to be the goddess Pallas Athene
in disguise, also creates a great deal Of

shows the deepest emotion, and the day is
