In the course ot tne decision tne cnie.
justice referred at length to the eases cited
by the defense in justification and support
of the income tax, but he declared that in
none of these cases had the specific ques.
tion of the power of congress TO tax rents
ana municipal bonds been passed upon,
but only by inference or incidentally;
hence the opinion Of the court as now an.
nounced was not in opposition to previous
ruling by that tribunal. Indeed, he as
serted, that from the time of the decision
in the Hylton case to that in the Springer
case it had been uniformly conceded that
a tax on land was in the nature of a direct
tax, while, as had been shown, tax on
land profits was the same thing as tax
on the land itself.
Judge Field read dissenting opinion,
1t was largely devoted to review of the
provision regarding rents and was Wig
orous denunciation of the principles sought
to be established by the income tax law.
He also attacked the law on account of the
lack of uniformity, and dwelt upon its
exemptions and Determinations which
were he said class legislation He devoted
special attention to the exemptions. of

les, and building and loan associations.

tent of the operations of these companies,
and said if these facts were not convinc-
Ing congress could not be convinced He
took issue with those who contended that
there could be no legitimate limitations
upon the power Of congress to impose
taxes. He finished by saying: II am of
the opinion that the whole law of 1894 is
null and void"
He was followed by Judge White in a
second dissenting opinion He laid stress
on the fact that the law does not exempt
judges of United States courts from the
payment of the tax 1t was not right he
said, that the supreme court should re.
main silent and make no protest when
many United States judges drawing small
salaries would be affected because of the
law, and he called attention to the letter
once written by Chief Justice Chase to
the treasury officials, protesting against
the deduction of an income tax from the
| salaries of United States judges.
| The effect of all the opinions delivered
is to show that the court was unanimous
| in the opinion that the law is unconstitu-
tional as to municipal and state bonds,
shat Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Field, Gray, Brewer, Brown and Shiras
held it to be invalid on incomes derived
from rents, and that Justices Harlan and
White dissent from this opinion as to
rents. 1t is impossible to state the exact
division as to the validity of the other
parts of the law further than was dis
closed by the proceedings 1t appears
quite clear that Chief Justice Fuller and
Justices Harlan and White voted to sus-
tain the other parts of the law, and the
best opinion obtainable is that Justice
Brown stood with them in this opinion
which would leave Justices Field, Gray
Brewer and Shiras as the opponents of the
| law as a whole

He Apologies to the President and Pub

BOSTON, April 0--Rev Isaac J. Lansing
pastor of the Park street church in this
city, who, in an address before the New
England Methodist conference at Salem
last week, called President Cleveland a
drunkard, last night declared himself as
follows on the subjects
My illusions made in temperance ad-
dress at Salem ON Thursday, April 4, to
the drinking habits of the president of the
United States were based partly on COM
mon report and partly on the testimony OF
eye witnesses. From various and inde-
pendent sources, which l believed to be
wholly reliable had been informed that
the president had been seen on different
occasions and in the presence of many
persons in an intoxicated condition
From the circumstantial and detailed
Dharacter of these statements 1 supposed
there was no doubt as to the facts alleged.
l therefore made this allusion as a matter
of common report, basing my confidence
on the testimony of personal and, as l
supposed, credible witnesses. The names
of these witnesses cannot with propriety
reveal, they might justly shrink from be-
ing singled out and called to verify that of
which not only they, but others equally
with themselves, had occular proof,
II must, therefore, say that If my state
ment, reproducing such testimony is not
in harmony with facts 1 regret having
made 1t. could have neither desire nor
motive for saying anything unkind or un-
charitable of the president or of any party
whatsoever. The case being one of con
fiict of testimony between witnesses of
equal oredibility, cannot decide, and
since have no personal knowledge apart
from the testimony, withdraw the state
ments and tender apologetic and sincere
regrets to the president of the United
| States and to the public"

EFFECT OF THE DECISION.
1t VIII Cause a Loss of Fifty Per Cent
in Income Taxes.

~ w hl NduSt AOsS Vi EllJy I6T O6nJs
in Income Taxes.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Treasury officials
are greatly dispirited over the supreme
courts decision in the income tax case,
and while admitting that they have no re-
liable data upon which to form am accur-
ate estimate, they express the belief that
the net result of the decision will be a loss
of at least 80 per cent. in the receipts from
incomes. In some cities the loss will be
far greater than this, as in Washington,
where the loss will reach 70 per cent.
Washington, however, is exceptionally a
renting city. The proportion Of rented
houses in other cities of the country is
very large. The total number of rented
houses in the United States in 1890 was
l 1,12O, 4S7, which during the last five years
has undoubtedly increased very mater
tally Dwelling houses, however, repre-
sent onln small part of the capital in
vested in buildings of every character
which produce enormous rentals.
Comparatively little was expected from
interest on state, county and municipal
bonds, but the total loss, it is thought,
will not fall short of S15, 5,0O0,0 600 or $40, ,OO0-
900 for the first year, and this loss is ex-
pected to increase rather than to diminish
in succeeding years should the law remain
unrepealed. The loss of this revenue, how
ever, is not the only cause of regret among
the officials. The fact that the court was
evenly divided on the main constitutional
| question, it is expected, will result in al
| most endless litigation, thus very mate
rally adding to the expense of collecting
the tax.
Nevertheless, the internal revenue Off
cials will proceed at once to prepare sup
elemental regulations to conform to yes
| terday's decision, and from now on until
next Monday, when the time expires with
in which returns may be made, any re.
turns in which incomes from rents and
| bonds are deducted will be regarded as
| full compliance with the law. Persons
| who have already made their returns and
| paid the tax will be advised of the change
| in the regulations, and as soon as possible
! the pro Dortionate amounts of tax paid 10y
| each on rents and bonds will be refunded
to them.
Attorney General Olney was much sur
prised at that part of the decision which
| exempts rents under the income tax Al
to the section of the act relating to bonds
the attorney general rather expected al
adverse decision, but he regards the action
| of the court on the rent proposition a
having been taken on technioalities whicl
he believes will not stand the test of time
and cannot remain the permanent law 0
the land.
1t is universally regretted that ther
was not full bench to hear the case, am
should Justice jackson resign his sue
cessor, there is very good reason to believe
would almost certainly be favorable t
the law in which event another test cas-
very soon would be brought to the couI
for determination.
