LOUIS J. JENNING,s LIFE xoRt1.

One Of the most consistent contrib
utors to the Quarterly Review in recent
years was Louis Jennings, a man
whose literary taste and wide reading.
no less than the remarkable and var
led experiences of his life, rendered
him charming companion. At the
close of the mutiny. he went out to
India on behalf of a great English
daily paper. Having spent some time
in the east. and temporarily assisted
in editing the Friend of India. he was
sent by his old employers to the United
States, when the secession war was
drawing to a close.
In course of time he became editor
of the New York Times. in which ca
pacity he succeeded in breaking up the
notorious ''Tammany Ring"-a task
requiring nerve and insight of no Or
binary kind-and in the achievements
of which he carried his life in his handV
for months together. I have seen the
address of thanks, signed by the lead
ing merchants and men of business of
New York. which was given to Jer
nings on the accomplishment Of hss'
task. His subsequent success in win
ming a conservative victory at Stock
port is a matter of common knowledge,
but the labors of parliamentary life
-pToDdDIy the uISdppOiILtHleHtS ana
notifications which that life inficts
no an eager and impulsive nature
broke down his health and increased,
if they did not originate. the painful i'll
ness of which he died.
OF all the articles which Louis Jen-
nings wrote for the Quarterly-and
they seldom failed to attract attention
the best was probably on the ''Revo-
lutionary Party" which displayed a
keen insight into the drift of party pol
itics.-JOhn Murray in Good Words.

that the act of August 10, 1894 is in
valid 50 rar as it attempts to levy a
tax upon the income derived from
municipal bonds. AS municipal
corporation is the representative of
the state. and one OF the instrument
ta.itties OF the state government, the
property and revenues of municipal
corporations are not subjects of
federal taxation, nor is the income
derived from state, county and muni-
cipal securities, since taxation On tho
interest therefroan operates on the
power TO borrow before it is exercised
and has a sensible influence on the
contract, and therefore such tax is
lax on the power of the state and their
and consequently repugnant TO the
constitution.
Upon each of the other petitions
argued at the bar, to-wit:
First-Whether the void provisions
as to rents and incomes from real
estate invalidates the whole aSt.
Second-Whether as to the income
from personal property as such the
act is uncons titutional as laying di-
rect taxes.
Third-Whether any part of the
hax, if not considered as a direct tax.
is invat&1 for want of uniformity on
either of the grounds suggested. The
justices who heard the arguments are
equally divided and therefore no
opinion IS expressed.
The result is, that the decree of the
circuit court is reversed and the case
remanded with directions TO enter a
decree in favor of complaint in respect
only OF the voluntary payment of the
tax on rents and income OF its real
estate and that which it holds in
trust and on the income from the
municipal bonds owned or so held
by 1t.
The announcement of the foregoing
conclusions of the court was pre-
coded by a review of many opinions
o. the supreme court from the time of
Chief Justice Marshal down to the
celebrated Springer case brought by
Representative Springer of IL
Ii1sots. and by an exhaustive review OF
the nature of direct and indirect tax
alton, in the course OF Vhich the chief
justice reviewed the debates leading
UP TO the framing of the federal con-
Stitution.
In conclusion, the chief justice stated
that this opinion upon 1.-THE Pollock
case covered the cther two cases.
The delivery of the opinion consumed
5ust one hour.

Justice Harlan's views.

Justice Harlan. in his dissenting
opinion. says:
Passing by the question of the juris-
diction of the courts of the United
States to enioin the collection of taxes
on incomes imposed by the act. am
of the opinion.
F'irst-That upon principle as well as
under the former decisions of this
court, a tax on gains. profits and in
comes derived from rents of land is not
a direct tax on land within the mean
ing of the clause of the constitution.
providing that direct taxes shall be
apportioned among the several states
according TO their respective members.
Second-That under numerous deci-
sions of this court. the interest or in
come derived from bonds issued by a
municipal corporation of a state is not
the subject of specific taxation in any
form or for any purpose. by the United
States, any more then the interest or
income directly derived from state
bonds is the subject Of national taxa
ton.
Upon the two questions referred to
and to which alone. so far as the mer
its are concerned, the opinion of the
chief is directed. ] am in entire accord
with Justice White.

Mrs. Cleveland's visiting list IS both
neculiar and instructive. It is the big
gest one possessed by any woman, but
as etiquette releases Mrs. Cleveland
from the necessity Of returning or max
ing any calls, the size of the list never
troubles her. Former administrations
never concerned themselves about
what sort of books were used, but for
Mrs. Cleveland very handsome ones
are secured, and a new one is started
once in six months. The book she pre-
fers IS about 12x14 inches in size has
flexible covers of fine brown seal and
is gilt-edged. The work IS done by the
ushers. and every three days the names
of all callers are put into it with. the
date of the call. One column IS de-
voted to the interesting information
of which callers were lucky enough 10
be ''seen,' or the unhappy mot seen.
Before Lent opened Mrs. Cleveland
received very generally all who sent up
ton. Since Ash Wednesday no one IS
received, and as far as intimate friends
go, Mrs. Cleveland is leading a very
lonely life. Mrs. Lamont IS seldom
seen at the White House except on CT
fetal occasions. Mrs. Bissell has fol-
lowed Mrs. Lamont'S example. Mrs.
Carlisle appears sometimes for purely
friendly call and Mrs. Harriet Lana
Johnson, the former mistress of the
White House who used to come and go
at all hours of the day as Mrs. Cleve-
lands intimate friend, has hardly been
seen at the White House Of late.-New'

TAKES 1T BACK.
Lansing Sorry He Made an ASS of
Himself.


Boston, April S.-Rev. DR.. Isaac J.
Lansing, pastor of the Pearl street
church in this city. who. in an ad-
dress before the New England Metho-
dist conference at Salem last week ac-
cused President Cleveland of intem-
perance, tonight declared himself as
follows on the subject:
My illusions made in a temperance
address at Salem on Thursday, April
4, to the drinking habits of the presi-
dent of the United States were based
partly on common reports and partly
on the testimony of eye witnesses from
various and Independent sources,
which I believe 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 character
of these statements 1 supposed there
was no doubt as to the facts stated.
therefore MADE this allusion as a mat
ter of common report, baSing my
statements on personal and, as l sup
posed, creditable witnesses. The names
Of these witnesses I cannot with pro-
priety reveal since. sharing their
knowledge in common with many 9TH
ers, they might justly shrink from be-
ing singled out and called to verify
that which not only they but others
equally with themselves had a clear
proof of. 1 must therefore say that If
my statement reproducing such testi-
mony is not in harmony with the facts,
I regret having made it. l could have
neither desire nor motive for saying
anything unkind or uncharitable of
the president or of any party what
ever.
1.-THE case being one of the conflict
of testimony between witnesses of
equal credibility, I cannot decide which
is correct, and since 1 have no per-
sonal knowledge, apart from the testl-
mony, 1 withdraw the statements and
tender apologize and sincere regrets
to the president Of the United States
and to the public"

TWO QUEER GIRLS.
Both Insist They Are Insane and
Want to Go TO the Hospital.

Want to Go 10 the Hospital.
New York, April SIN the insane
pavilion of Bellevue hospital there are
two spinster sisters. whom physicians
will examine today: Twenty years ago
these women tended their mother, who
was insane and bedridden. Their
father was in an asylum five years.
Yesterday. worn out by the watch over
their mother, and in the belief that
some day they would come to her con-
dition, both women tried to kill them
selves. The women are Mary A. and
Harriet McArdle The first is 40 years
old, the other "a. Their father, James
McArdle, now 80 years old. is a re-
tired builder. Shortly before noon yes
May going into the kitchen, found
Harriet pouring carbolic acid into a
glass of water. Mary watched the
sister until she put the glass to her
lips, then she dashed it from her hand.
After that there was a struggle be-
tween the two women, for Harriet i'm
sisted she must kill herself and tried
to jump out of the window. The cries
of Mary alarmed the neig'hbors, who
hurried into the house. After half IN
hour Harriet became calm. All of the
neighborS left them except two women
who said they would stay during the
afternoon. Mary, in telling them about
the troubles OF her life, became SO ex-
cited that suddenly she jumped on the
sill of the open window and would
have thrown herself to the court yard,
three stories below. had not one of the
women present grasped her about the
waist and dragged her back. 1t was
the sister Harriet who now quoted her
sister. But Mary grew worse until
Harriet in her efforts to calm her Sis
ter, became hysterical. When the
father returned late in the afternoon.
he saw that affairs were beyond his
control and called in the police. The
sisters begged to be given pistols with
which to kill themselves. They also
pleaded with the officers to kill them.
When the doctor came the women be-
came calm They said they knew per
fectly we'll that they were insane sr'd
were anxious to go to the hospital

TRUTHFUL.

General Grant was" says General
Horace Porter in AIcClure's Magazine,
without exception the most absolute
" truthful man 1 ever encountered in
public or private life. He was not only
truthful himself. but he had a horror
of untruth in others" An anecdote
illustrates this trait
One day while sitting in his bedroom
in the White House, where he had re-
tired to write d message TO Congress,
a card was brought in by a servant.
An officer on duty at the time, see
ing that the president did not want TO
be disturbed, remarked to the servant
SAY the president is not in"
General Grant overheard the re-
mark, turned around suddenly in his
chair and cried out to the servant:

myself, and I don't want any one to
lie for mer'

The Eject.

The effect of all the opinions de-

unanimous in the opinion that the law
is constitutional as to municipal and
state bonds; that Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Field. Gray, Brewer,
Brown and Shiras hold it to be invalid
on incomes derived from rents, and
that Justices Harlan and White dis
sented from this opinion ab to rents.
