THE INCOME TAX.

While the decision OF the Supreme Court
in regard to the income tax does not make
as clear q sweep OF that iniquitous meas
ure as could have been desired, it at any rate
lops it to pieces so completely that the
remnants will hardly be allowed to linger
long on the statute-books, and at the next
session Of Congress we may expect to see
it ended.
The Court decides the law TO be uncon-
stitutional in so far as it taxes incomes de-
rived from the rent Of lands; from National,
State, County and Municipal bonds; and
also in the provisions discriminating be-
tween one set OF taxpayers and another by
granting exemptions to individuals and
partnerships, which are not granted to
corporations having similar incomes de-
rived from like property values. The first
of these features of the law is declared to
be unconstitutional because it involves a
direct tax not properly proportioned, and
the second because it violates that uni
formity OF taxation which the constitution
requires. With these exceptions, the court
allows the law to stand, simply because
the Justices being divided on the PROPOSE
ton, there was not a majority 10 rule
against it as whole.
Under this decision, the law is even
worse than it at first appeared. Exempt
ing from the operation Of the tax all in
comes derived from rents and from the
stocks and bonds OF the Nation, States,
Counties and Municipalities, there will be
little else to tax except incomes earned by
thrift and energy. The vast Astor fortune
viii paw no tax on the income from the
rent OF the family holdings in real estate,
which embodies the bulk OF 1t, and the
wealthy holders of bonds viii be equally
exempt. It is the merchant, the doctor,
the lawyer and the host of successful
tradesmen and professional men who will
have 10 pay the tax, and it thus becomes
more than ever a tax upon industry rather
than upon property.
1t remains 10 be seen whether the law
win now yield q revenue sufficient to pay
for the machinery OF the inquisition re-
quired to collect it. It is certain it will
not yield anything like the amount which
those who favored it so fondly expected,
and there is not likely TO be much opposi-
ton TO its repeal. The CALL has fought
the law from the beginning as an in
famous socialistic class tax, as well as an
unconstitutional one. The unconstitu-
tional features have now been stricken out
by the Supreme Court, but the iniquity OF
the measure still remains. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the court did not agree with
those Of its members who held the whole
measure 10 be unconstitutional, and thus
put an end al once TO a system of taxation
so unjust, unequal, inquisitorial and un-
American

ELEMENTS OF REVOLUTION.

The Cuban revolt is no more than a
reYolt-it has none of the elements of a
revolution. In its scheme for freedom it
shows only the restiyeness of the slave
under the whip of the master-not moral
rebellion against iniquity. Its aim of
reformation looks only to freedom, with
out defnitive idea of what that freedom
shall mean or bring.
1t is not sufficient in these days that he
who rebels against constituted authority
shall assert the bald right of liberty and
urge oppression as his excuse. Ireland
does not ask for that. Her showing is that
of subjugated nation, intelligent, rich
and powerful, jealous of order and respect
full of the law, willing to acknowledge the
greater physical force of the nation that
holds her in subiugation, but claiming an
intelligence and love of order and peace
equal to that of the dominating nation,
and demanding only that she may enjoy
the fullest blessings of Christian civiliza-
ton by being permitted to institute such a
home rule as shall best serve her own
ethical aims without in the smallest de-
gree impairing the sovereignty of England
over her.
1t is not so in Cuba. The insurgents
there have failed to show to the civilized
world that they might be the better for the
success of their revolt. They stand simply
in the attitude of an oppressed race that
desires freedom. It is not sufficient to
assume that out of liberty they might
work their own salvation. They have not
stated their case fully and intelligently to
the world, and seem to be in ignorance of

THE WIDOWS OF SOLDIERS.
Free Certificates of Their Husbands
Death Asked For.

Free Certificates of Their Husbands
Death Asked For.
a rather unusual bit of manuscript with
about sixty signatures was filed with the
Board of Supervisors yesterday. 1t reads:
We, the undersigned, as citizens, have petit
toned your honorable body in regard to a re-
quest that was made six years ago by the then
honorable Board OF Supervisors requesting the
Mayor on behalf of all destitute widows of
veteran soldiers OF the late rebellion, who are
their late husbands, that he give per-
,mits TO them to obtain free of charge
certificates of their late husbands deaths,
and also of any deceased children that
had died in this city and county, and also copies
OF marriage certificates. Since that request six
years ago in no case has 1t ever been refused IN
til to-day, this I'd day of April, 1895, when his
Honor was called upon and politely asked for a
permit for destitute widow OF veteran sol
der of the late rebellion TO obtain from the
Board of Health certificate Tree OF chargel OF
the death of her late husband The widow
was refused the permit Her friends went and
saw the clerk of the Board of Health in regard
TO the matter, and he said he would give her a
certificate free of charge If she had a permit
from the Mayor, as had been the custom for
years, and if his books were overhauled they
would not show fifty certificates issued free of
charge TO destitute widows in the last six years.
Hoping and trusting that our magnanimous
and merciful board will take this matter into
consideration and pass resolution requesting
tute widows of veteran soldiers OF the late re-
bellion for them to obtain certificates and
copies of marriage certificates Tree OF charge,
We are respectfully, etc.
At the meeting of the board it was re-
ferred to the proper committee.

principle and character and virtue. 1t musi
not and VIII not pander TO any special clique,
party or person who is out of harmony with
absolute equity. No journalist, living or dead,
ever had more magnificent opportunity than
Major Calhoun. Let US hope that God may put
his best into the gifted gentleman and that he
may give his best through the Standard 10
every INSTRUMENTATION, and through every
Massachusettseniant 10 every American. And
above ell, l trust the Standard viii herald the
truth in bugle notes about those fundamental
eternal principles without whose corporate
and personal practice the most Industrious ma
tons fall into decay. Let the Standard do this
on the platform il has chosen and Boston viii
want it, and New England viii read 1t, and the
other States will copy it, and the world will
follow its example.
That leading clergyman should have
the courage to denounee the leading
papers of his city and hold up their young
rival to the admiration OF his hearers is
both an evidence of revolt on the part of
a great moral agency against an evil and
an example for other clergymen to follow.
The policy OF the CALL is identical with
that OF the Standard, and the fact that the
people here are ready to welcome such an
innovation is shown in the great accession
Of new subscribers which the paper is re-
ceiving. We do not desire to dictate any
course to the elergymen of San Francisco,
but If they do not find in the Rev. DIR.
Brady's attitude high expression of one
part of clergymarf's duty TO the commu-
nifty our conception of a minister's obiga-
ton must be revised.

TOO MEAN TO GIVE.

1t is reported from Stockton that some
Of the richest men OF the city and county
are refusing TO subscribe anything toward
the competing road. notwithstanding the
fact that thevwill derive more benefit from
it than the poorer and more progressive
men who are so literally working for the
general good.
These reports are not surprising. Such
men exist in every community, and Stock
ton in confronting their greed and mean
ness has no more exasperating problems
than other cities of the State. Humanity
has not yet devised proper and effective
method of dealing with men Of this char
acter, though the evil OF their presence in
a community has long been recognized.
They are not only useless themselves, but
they discourage usefulness in others. 1t
takes a great deal Of public spirit in some
men TO go forward, invest their money,
take risks and work hard and faithfully for
the welfare of the community, when they
see these rich, lazy selfish, grasping,
narrow-minded, greedy rascals lowering
around to share all the profits while doing
none of the work. 1t is not in human ma
ture to submit patiently to this kind Of
robbery, and it is not to be wondered at
that in all lands and in all ages the stingy
sneaking, avaricious landlord has been the
object of the denunciations Of all who live
near him.
When too many men of this character
get together in community they kill it.
They are species of parasite that not
only absorb the life-giving sap of tree,
but also wind around it with a force that
crushes every branch that reaches out for
the sunlight. By one means or another a
community must shake itself loose from
the thralldom of such men or perish. Their
blighting effect, felt everywhere, must be
everywhere counteracted, or it will battle
every enterprise, thwart all efforts for the
common good and put an end TO progress.
1t becomes important, therefore, for vigor.
Gus, brainy, public-spiri:ed men 70 be al
ways ready to shake off the parasite and
prevent the blight. They must keep alive
in the community the spirit of progress by
setting before Others the example of zeal,
energy and liberality in all public under
takings.
No city in California can at this time
afford to stop in its career TO wrangle with
meanness. Progress is the order of the
day. Stockton, as her progressive citizens
well understand. must 90 ahead with the
work of raising the promised bonus for the
competing road even as San Francisco has
gone ahead TO raise the millions necessary
to launch the enterprise. The rich men
and big property owners who are too mean
TO give any help to q work that will benefit
them so largely must for the time being be
ignored. Sooner or later, however, they
should be made to feel that they are the
/ objects of popular scorn and that their
names are subject everywhere to derision
and contempt
