The civil service commission has re-
ceived the report of its representative
who made an Investigation of the Of
fetal acts of Mr.. Wise, the collector of
customs at San Francisco, who is
charged in half dozen instances with
levying political assessments upon en-
ployees of the custom house. Commits
sioner Roosevelt declined to say
whether the charges were sustained.
Treasury officials, in the absence OF
the full text of the Supreme Court de-
cision on the income tax law, are still
oroping in the dark as to its exact
meaning andshave therefore been I'M
able to send out supplemental instruc-
tions to collectors as to how the law
that still remains shall be carried out
Collectors will have to be guided, until
thew receive official instructions, by
their own best judgments. Many tele.
graphic inquiries, both from internal
revenue officials and private parties,
are being received at the Treasury and
are being answered as we'll as they can
be with existing light. 1t is admitted
on all hands, as the matter is more
closely studied, that much confusion
must necessarily arise from the elimina-
ZION of rental receipts from the returns,
as this exception will affect cognate
questions.
James Brown, locomotive engineer
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
stuck his head out of his cab window
this morning at Lakeland, near Wash
ington, while the train was going at a
fair rate of speed. His head came in
contact with mail crane and he was
badly injured. The fireman managed
to stop the train, which was brought to
Washington by Alexander McKelvey,
a passenger. Brown was taken to his
home in Baltimore.

A KANSAS judge, to whom the case
was appealed, has sustained the verdict
of a lower court, exculpating the actual
murderer, and condemning to death
the man he said induced him to COM
nit the crime by means of the hypnotic
influence he had over him. No Won
der the political hue of Kansas changes
from republican to populist and then
back again. And yet Kansas was
peopled by the New England emigra-
ton society, is an original free school
State, and cheap newspapers abound
there. But they used to burn old
women in New England for witches,
and John Brown is apotheosized there
and in Kansas too.

AN EXTENSIVE CLAM.-Charl, 8
Leake, of Petersburg, who married q
daughter of Mrs. Alvira @. Bulifant, of
that place, believes he has become the
possessor of 500 100000 worth of prop
erty in the city of New York. Mr..
Leake is one of the heirs to large lot
of land now in the heart of New York,
and owned years ago by Leake's great
grandfather, who came to this country
from England more than a hundred
years ago, and settled in New Amster-
dam, now New York. This land was
leased by this old Englishman for a
period of ninety-nine years, and this
lease appears to be just expiring. The
surviving heirs think they have taken
every step that is necessary to secure
possession of the property at once.
The old Herald building stands upon
some of the ground claimed in this
controversy. The property claimed by
the heirs is said to be worth 800, O0O,.
600.

Miss SUSAN B. ANTHONY, an original
abolitionist, who stood abreast with
William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell
Phillips in their love for the slave and
their hate for his master, and who'
therefore, ought to be good authority
on the subject, says, "the colored people
receive no better treatment in the
North than they do in the South"
Age brings wisdom. "One ray OF light
the closing eye receives, and wisdom
only takes what folly leaves" Every
observant man who has lived in both
the sections knows that negroes are
treated better in the South than in the
North, and that the AFFECT poverty,
squallor and filth of the negro quarters
in the large cities of the North can not
be found any where in the South, and
also. that the Southern people being
familiar with the natural defects CT
negro character, make allowance Tor
them, which is not done in the North.
If negroes be treated now better in the
South than in the North, as they are,
they must have received even better
treatment before they were freed, be-
cause then their health and happiness
affected the pockets of their masters,
and consequently received their con
slant attention. But still, but only as
means of conquering the South, Mr..
Lincoln set them free.

THE RESULT of the municipal cleo

poor congregate in the cities, and the

while their few rich neighbors are

trouble, passed an income tax law, and

not be held responsible for its failure;
