DAVID B. HILL LIKES 1T.
THAT INCOME TAX DECISION SUITS
HIM EXACTLY.
He Deprecated the Passage of the
Bill as an Unnecessary Sop
Thrown to Populists and
Demagogues.

ALBANY, n. v, May Ex-senator
David B. Hill was greatly pleased
at the decision in the income tax
matter and he took no pains to con-
ceal that pleasure. He is every
where being congratulated on the
decision. In relation to its general
effects, Senator Hill said: "The Su-
preme court of the United States
is entitled to the thanks OF the
country for its decision against
a law which constituted class
legislation, against a statute
which sanctioned unequal taxa
ton and against an enactment
which was clamored for only by
Populists, cranks and demagogues.
The court has indicated its wis
dom and entrenched itself in the
confidence of the people. Public
sentiment was right in demanding
that the whole law be set aside, and
public sentiment has justly tri-
umphed. / never believed 1t to be
constitutional and hence regretted
it's unwise and foolish insertion in
tariff reform bill. wrote against
it, spoke against it, and voted
against it,"
In regard to its political status
he said: "The passage Of the bill
was owing to false clamor, a
dicker and a deal with Populists
which ought never to have been
sanctioned"
GAN income tax had not been in
.dorsed by either the Democratic or
Republican parties in their Nation
al platforms and it was supreme
folly for any party to enact. L
never could fathom the motive
which induced President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle to recon-
mend the adoption Of an income
tax. 1t was serious mistake.
That policy hindered and almost
defeated the tariff reform bill. The
decision today announced will do
more good, will be Of more lasting
benefit to our free institutions, will
clear the political atmosphere bet.
ter than anything which has oc-
Cured in this decade"

Mashala is in the power OF the

WILL IT BE AN EXTRA SESSION
Senator Harris Thinks an Extra
Session of Congress the Least
of Two Evils.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 2l.-A
special to the mercial-Appeal
from Washington says: "Senatol
Harris, speaking OF the income tax
decision, said: Since the annul.
ment of that part Of the law by the
former recent decision Of the Su.
preme court, which, in its equality,
rendered 1T Objectionable, l am
glad that the tax has been killed
in its entirety. Had my vote been
called upon to sustain the law as X
has stood since this exemption OF
the very persons at whom 1t was
mainly aimed, those who are not
bearing their just share Of the tax
alton, / should have east that vote
to wipe out the whole measure. AS
there will be almost certainly a de.
felt in the treasury OF from $780,
100000 to $40,0O0,000 resulting from
this decision, / think it probable
there will be called an extra ses,
sion Of Congress, although l am
not in a position to say whether OF
not the immediate exigency will
be met by bond issue. II the latter
plan be adopted am frank to con-
fess it will be the very pinnacle OF
folly. In my Judgment, the least
OF these necessary evils should be
chosen, and II we are to have an eX-
traordinary session OF Congress
the sooner that body is called to.
gether the better it will be for the
administration Of this govern

SECRETARY moRroN,s JOKE.

Secretary Morton paid some OF the
employees in the department. Of agricul~
ture yesterday in silver dollars, and the
fact has been telegraphed all over the
country from Washington as a good
joke on the advocates OF free silver.
This "object lesson" as the Secretary
calls 1t, may be very convincing and
very suggestive to his mind; but it will
not advance the cause Of "sound money"
particle. It will rather tend to show
the paucity Of arguments on the side of
gold nonometsllism, when such silly
joke IL perpetrated by one of the high
officials Of the government. The same
objection to the weight OF silver as a
circulating medium when disbursed in
bulk, might apply to gold, the
only difference being that the
latter is the money OF the rich,
and the demand for it in that shape ia
not as frequent as for silver. Copper
and nickel as coins might also be SINH

AGENT TETER says some of the In
disns on the Fort Hall reservation will
go to Jackson's Hole to hunt as soon as
the haying season is over as they will
etarve unless they kill game for their
winter subsistence. AS they seem de-
termined to have revenge on the set
tiers for killing number of their tribe,
serious trouble will follow their return
to Jackson's Hole. AS an Offset to this
the agent recommends that the Indian
Bureau enter into contract for digging
big irrigation ditch at the reservation
as soon as possible to give the red men
employment and an opportunity to earn
money with which to provide for them
selves and families during the winter.
AS they cannot exist without an i'm
crease of rations, and as the irrigation
OF their lands would render them prac-
tically self-supporting, the Bureau
should not hesitate to adopt the plan
proposed by Agent Teter. humanity In
every view Of the case demands it.

THE CONDITIONS OF TRADE.

K. G. Dun q Co. will say in their re-
view OF trade: It is belated season; a
frozen May set everything back. The
heavy business which ought to have
been done in May and June WAS pushed
into July, so that the midsummer de-.
cline due in July comes in August.
With this in mind one is not surprised
to find the shrinkage from July to
August rather more conspicuous than
usual.
The disappointing crop reports OF last
Saturday, though evidently deceptive,
lessen confidence in regard to the future
of trade, even while some spectators
gain by them. Back OF all doubts is the
fact that the industrials are doing
better than anybody could have ex-
pected. The output of pig iron August
1 was 1s0,525 tons weekly or 76. sos
tons by another report. In either case
it is greater than the largest output
Of 1894, though surpassed $1,000 tons
In the spring of 1898.
The sales of steel rails in 1895 to
August we're $50, 900 tons and the de-
liveries $50, 900. Wages in this industry
have been generally advanced and
strikes few. Other metals change little,
though textile imports have been heavy
and advances in cotton goods, to some
extent check buying, while Fall
River spinners are organizing for the
restoration of wages paid before the
panic.
Crop reports modified pectations as
to cotton and wheat, and cotton spaou-
lstors have bought, lifting the price
five sixteenths, while wheat with moro
evidence Of loss in yield has declined

HANDLING BOA CONSTRUCTORS.
THO Trick by Which tho Scrpents Arc
Managed without Danger.


Snake dealers in South America have
q fine contempt for their sQuirming and
venomous wares, though it is sometimes
difficult to induce ship captains to carry
them as freight. The snake dealers han
die the bon constructor with great deft-
ness. This serpent bites, but his bite is
not yenomous, so that tho chief danger
to the handler is from tho serpcnt's
enormously powerful muscles. Tho
dealers have learned that tho boa, to be
really dangerous, must have II fulcrum
in the shape of something around which
he may coil his tail
The boa is, i'll fact, lever in which
tho ordinary arrangement is power,
weight, fulcrum. knowing this, the
dealers drop Il soft hat over his head,
that he may neither sec nor bite, and
then snatch him SO suddenly from his
resting place that ho has no opportunity
to brace himself by scizing fixed OBJ
ject with his tail. After that the essen
tial thing is to see that he is not brought
within distance of any such object
A snake dealer on Brazilian steam
or the other day was occupied in trans
ferring his boas from one box to anoth-
er. He opened the box an instant, drop
ped hat over the head of one of the
creatures, snatched it from its fellows,
and rushing across the deck dropped it
into the other box. The thing looked so
easy that Il deck hand, waiting until the
snake owners back was turned, essaycd
to repeat the act. He neglected to use
the hat, and with a yell yanked great
snake from tho box with its fangs fixed
in his fingers. Not daring to let go, yet
fearing to hold on, he began whirling
the snake about his head, meanwhile
dancing madly over the deck. The snake
man managed to capture the reptile and
box it in security. Then somebody ex-
pressed concern for the rash deck hand,
to which the snake owner answered.:
What him? He's all right But
think of my snake! It's worth 20 of that
mug !"-New York Sun
