INSURANCE LAW.

Following we publish the decision
of the Kansas City court of appeals
in tho case of M. G. Jacobs against
North British and Mercantile Insur-
ance Co., reversing the decision of
Ray county circuit court. The
property of NJ. G. Jacobs, situated at
r. & L. Junction, was insured in the
above named company for 1880.
1t was destroyed by fire, an arbitra-
ton was had, and plaintiff allowed
$1,000. He was not satisfied with
the award, and suit was instituted in
the circuit court where judgment
was given for $1,000. An appeal
was taken to the Kansas City court
of appeals and at the March term
the following decision was rendered /:
This is suit ON policy of insur-
ance for $1,000, issued April 7th,
1892, covering a frame house as a

ary, 1898, and during the life OF the
policy, the building was totally de-
stroyed by fire. Plaintiff asked
judgment for the full amount named
in the policy: $500.
No question was made as to the
liability of the company, but the
controversy arose as to the amount

INCOME TAX INSTRUCTIONS.

INCOME TAX INSTRUCTIONS.
The treasury department has issued
to all income tax collectors a series
of supplemental instructions to con-
form to the recent decision of the
supreme court. The instructions
follow:
/. Interest received from state,
county and municipal bonds or secu-
rites and rents from real estate are
not taxable as income, but persons or
corporations receiving said interest
or rents shall include in their returns
as receipts the full amount thereof,
received or accorded within the year
for which return is made, and shall
deduct the same as not subject to
taxation.
2. The amounts actually paid fol
taxes, insurance and repairs on rea
e5tate may be deducted from income
3. All persons and corporations
that have heretofore rendered in
come tax returns for the year 1894
to a collector or deputy, including
therein interest received from state,
county or municipal bons, or from
rents from real estate, may have the
amounts on said interest and rents
deducted from their income by duly
making an affidavit and delivering
the same to the collector or deputy
collector to whom the original return
was renderd. Require that persons
in making returns in future show
clearly that rents included and de
Quoted were received only for rea
estate and include nothing whateveI
paid for rent or use personal prop
erty or franchise.

he quOGeO census nRures 10 SNOW tne
extent of the operations of these
companies and said that II these facts
we're not convincing, congress could
not be convinced, "Though one rise
from the dead" He took issue with
those who contended that there could
be no legitimate limitation upon the
power of congress.
Justice White followed in a second
dissenting opinion. This was largely
extemporaneous and very long. He
thought that tie court in its decision
had overthrown long line of decis-
ions and the uniform practices since
since the foundation of the govern
ment. The bill was prayer for in
junction by the trust company from
making its returns. The practice
had been that an action for injunc-
ton before the payment of a tax
would not lie. 1t was an effort to
accomplish BY indirection what the
statute of the the United States for
bad man to do by direct process.
While the main opinion asserted that
there were numerous precedenta, he
called attention to the fact that only
two we're cited. He thought therefore,
that the relief granted was in viola
ton of the practice of the court. He
regretted that this line of decisions
was to be overthrown for annulling
an act of congress, which he consid-
cred in the line of the former opin
ions of the court. He affirmed that
congress had as unlimited power of
taxation as was exercised by any
government in the world. The great
question at issue was whether the in
come tax was valid and that question
had been, he thought, decided hun
dred years ago in the Hylton case,
and in that case the judgment practi-
cally decided that direct taxes were
confined to taxes on land as such and
to capitation taxes. He considered
that if there had previously been any
doubts they had been set aside in the
Springer case and the question of
the validity of an income tax estab-
lshed. He could not see that there
was a hair's-b breadth of difference
between those cases and those now
under consideration. He agreed with
his colleagues that that the tax was
unconstitutional as to state, county
and municipal bonds.
The opinions were concluded at
2:45 O'Clock by brief one from JUS
tice Harlan, in which he held that a
tax upon incomes from lands was not
a direct tax, and that the income de-
rived from municipal bonds was not
the subject of specific taxation.
Nothing was said to show how any
of the justices stood, save the three
who read dissents.
The effect of the decision will be to
cut off, according to estimates made
at the treasury department, revenue
amounting to $40, 900, 900 to Sl5, 900,
900, and some estimates place it a.
800, 10000
This will not, it is said, necessitate
the calling of an extra session Of con
gress. In fact, President Cleveland
has emphatically stated that as he
and Secretary Carlisle saw no neces-
sity for an extra session none would
be called.
Internal revenue officers, acting
under the decision, will instruct col
lectors to strike out questions from
the income tax return slips relating
to incomes from rents and municipa
bonds.
Revenues already collected from
rent and state, county and municipa
bonds incomes will be returned.

NEW SPEAK Err,

NEW SPEAKER,
VIM. Court Gully, NJ. P. for Car
Isle, the government candidate was
elected speaker of the English House
of Commons in succession to Sir Ar
thur Wellesly Peel, resigned, by the
narrow margin of IL, The Parnell-
ties voted against the government.
Mr.. Gully, in politics, is a liberal,
who supports Mr.. Gladstone's Irish
policy. The house was crowded at
noon when the mace was brought in
by the sergeant alarms and placed
on the table, whereupon all the mem
bers uncovered their heads. Mr..
Samuel Whitebread, member for
Bedford, liberal, who has been a
member of the house committee on
selections since 1916, nominated Mr..
Gully for the speakership. The
Right Hon. Sir John H. Mowbray,
member for oxford University, con-
servative, who has been chairman of
the committee on selections since
1874, nominating Right Hon. Sir
Matthew w. Rdely, conservative
member for the Blackpool Division
of Lancashire, and the conservative
leader in the House of Commons, the
Right Hon. A. j. Balfour, supported
Mr.. Ridley's nomination.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
chancellor of the exchequer, the
liberal leader, said that he regretted
that Mr.. Balfour had given a party
character to the proceedings. The
vote resulted in yeas, 285; noes, 274.
Speaker Gully is a distinguished
member of the English bar. He is 4
leading counsel on the northern cir
cult, and for several years he has
regularly attended Carlisle assizes,
where he has been engaged in many
important cases. He became stu
dent at the Inner Temple at the age
of eighteen in 1858, he was c,lled in
in 1860, took silk in 1877, and was
appointed recorder of Wigan three
years ago. He is the second son of
the late DR.. J. M. Gully, formerly of
Great Mavern, and he was born in
London. His grandfather was in his
youth a well known pugilist. Mr..
Gully graduated at Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he was president
of the Union. After twice making a
valiant but vain attempt to oust Mr..
Cavendish Bentinck from the repre-
sentation of the neighboring borough
of Whitehaven, he was, in 1886, re-
turned for Carlisle, and has sat for
that constituency ever since.

anxiously willing to publish it. For
the sake of the Christian religion
am thankful that these scandal
mongering ministers are few, and on
every account I am glad that the
American people love fair play and

to mislead them they are apt to form
correct estimate of the character
and labors of their public servants.n

LOCAL ELECTIONS.

LOCAL ELECTIONS.
The election of minor state officials
in Michigan passed very quietly, the
republicans winning by perhaps 90,
900 majority on an extremely light
vote. Municipal elections in Ohio
generally showed democratic gains.
Local irsues controlled, however,
and, as in Michigan, no great i'm
portance is attached to the result.
TIMES BETTER.
The latest reports from all parts
of the country are to the effect that
the industrial and commercial ro-
vival, in nearly all lines Of business,
coutinnes stea,.y, though low. And
during the past week the region
from Illinois and Michigan westward
to the Rockies, and from Missouri
and Kansas northward to the Cana
dian border, has been visited by
heavy rains that are thought to
insure fair crops over a great stretch
of territory that has been suffering
from droutb. The current govern
ment revenues appear TO be rapidly
approaching the amount of current
penditures, even though as yet the
income tax law has not yielded
enough returns to cut any figure.
CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
An authoritative statement of the
terms of peace being negotiated
between Japan and China has been
secured from official sources. The
statement is made in order to clear
up much misapprehension arising
from speculation as to the terms of
peace. They are five in number, as
follows:
/. Independence of Corea.
2. Permanent cession of the Island
Of Formosa to Japan.
8. Indemnity of 300, 200 900 taels
Chinese coin worth S1,33).
4. Permanent occupation of Port
Arthur and the immediate contiguous
territory.
6. A new Japan China treaty
opening the interior of China tc
commerce.
The money indemnity is expressed
in Chinese taels instead of japanese
yen. The tael is in reality weight
instead of coin. 1t is considered
silver money. While the face value
at $1.33 would be equivalent to 1899,
600, 900 in silver, it is said the actua,
value would be between S210, 200, 200
and 1920, 900, 900 in gold.
The fifth term, as to a new treaty
includes various trade features, sucl
as free access to Chinese rivers
There is no demand for territory ol

and its contiguous surroundings.

AS soon as the chief justice had
concluded, Justice Field began read
ing dissenting opinion. He finished
soon before 2 o'clock, saying: 81
am of the opinion that the whole law
OF 1894 is null and void" He laid
stress upon the fact that the law did
not exempt judges of the United
States courts from payment Of the
tax. 1t was not right, he said that
the supreme court should remain
silent and make no protest when
many United States judges drawing
small salaries would be affected be-
cause of the law, and he called atten.
ton to the letter once written by Chief
Justice Chase to the treasury officials
protesting against the deduction OF
an income tax fran the salaries OF
United States judges. The opinion
was largely devoted to a review Of
the provisions regarding rents, his
conclusions being in conformity to
those announced by the chief justice
He also attacked the law on account
OF the lack of uniformity, and dwell
upon Its exemptions and discrimina
tion, which was, he said, class legis
lation. He devoted especial atten'
tion to the exemption Of saving
! banks, mutual insurance companies
