The income tax Is dead, undoubtedly
70 the qualification of a majority OF the
American people. After the nrst de-
cision of the court, limiting the appliea-
ton of the law, there was very little 10
il TO be desired; and last week the full
court decided, five to four, that the law
was unconstitutional. The dissent OF
the justices who favor the law Is EN-
phatic but uuavailing. The decision
can not be regarded As in any sense
partisan, as the representatives OF the
two parties on the bench are divided IN
their opinions.

HAVE BURIED THE HATCHET.
Bright and Love and City Have Smoked
the Calumet Of PacificatiOn.


The Bright's court war Is at end for
the present at least. The hatchet has
been buried and the possibilities are
that 1t will not again be exhumed. To
Mayor Connell Is due the credit Of
amicably adjusting the differences that
caused the contention and which
threatened to bring an unending litiga-
ton.
Messrs Bright and Love needed only
an assurance that they would not lose
anything by acqueiscing to the de-
mands of the city, and Mayor Connell.
in a personal interview, gave them this
assurance. They were shown the bond
indemnifying them for any damages
that might result from the sewer exca-
walton, and as this was all they asked
for they readily agreed to submit.
The charges Of trespassing preferred
against the city engineer corps were
withdrawn yesterday, and the hearing
which was to have been held in Alder
man Roberts office at 4 O'Clock was de-
clared off. The contemplated suit
against Bright and Love for contempt
of court, in interfering with the sewer
operations. after being enjoined from so
doing. is being held I'm abeyance.
Assistant City Solicitor Davies inti-
mated yesterday that the city will only
have recourse to the contempt of court
suit in case Bright and Love should
evince tendency to act In a high
handed manner in dealing with the city
as to the question of damages.
In a nutshell, the city authorities re-
gard 1t as n good thing" to hold over
the heads Of the Messrs. Bright and
Love.
The work on the sewer In the disputed
alley has been pushed day aAd night,
and will, II Is thought. be completed by
noon today. At all events 1t is thought
that Bright and Love can not Justly
claim any great amount Of damages.
as their business will have been inter-
fered with but for three days. possibly
two.
A private settlement will be attempt
ed. and II this does not meet with ap-
proval an equity suit will possibly fol-
