Tn. ,ncome-Ta. Decision.

The Income-tax law passed by Con-
yress AT It's last session had narrow
escape from destruction In the Supreme
Court OF the United States yesterday
and comes forth shorn OF some impor-
tant features.
nut eight OF the nine judges OF III.
| court sat In the hearing and decision OF
these cases-Judge Jackson being TOO III
TO appear upon the bench.
The law is left undisturbed except
where II undertakes to tax incomes ac-
cruing from rents OF real estate ana IN
comes derlvable from state. county ana
municipal bonds. The whole law how'
ever. came very near being declared
void-the vote thereon being TO 4.
That the decision Of the court VIII pro-
duce great inequalities In the law Is
clear; that II will enable many persons
TO escape the income-tax wholly, or !.
great part. Is also certain: but 1t Is the
duty OF the Treasury Department TO
proceod TO collect the tax. in 50 far as the
court has not interposcd It's objections
and leave the amendment or repeal oil
the act 10 Congress.
This decision Of the Supreme Courts
was outlined with great accuracy OF de'ah
in the Chicago Tribune OF Saturday morn
ing. and on Sunday morning the Tribune :
story was copied into many other papers.
II is clear enough now that the Tri-
bure's correspondent got his Information
from some one who knew exactly what
he was talking about. The names anu
details given forbid the idea that it was
good guess" There was no guess Work
about It. The man who furnished the
information had possession Of the facts
Of the case
This sort Of thing has been going on -
long now that IL cannot but be that the
members OF the court arc very much DIS
turbcd in mind as TO where the leak
Is.
only a few weeks ago we had occasion
10 refer to the fact that a san Francisco
paper had been able TO predict with eX-
ceeding accuracy Of detail what would be
the decision Of this court in II great case
involving valuable wharf property in that
city. There, too names. dates, and other
details were given. But even prior 10
that disclosures had been made. going
TO show either that some Of the Wash
ington newspaper correspondents could
divine the thoughts of the members Of
the Supreme Court, or else were in com
munication with some person who was In
the innermost councils Of the august
tribunal
Hypnotlsm nowadays plays so great a
part in the mysteries Of the world, or
rather is alleged TO. We may be pardoned
for suggesting that some correspondent
has hypnotized a judge, and is thus able
to get from him all Of the information
that he needs as 10 what the court does
in its conforencc-room. However this
may be. it IS quite certain that the
secrets OF the court are not kept. And
not being kept. who viii blame the news
paper-men for laying hold Of these Sc
crets and publishing them for the benefit
of the country?

The NtcRragua-Canal CommissfOn.

Those persons who had heard that
President Cleveland was hostile to the
Nicaragua-canal scheme were, OF course
gratined when last week he APPOINTED
the Nicaraguan commission authorized
by Congress at its last session to ex-
anime and report upon the present con-
dition and prospects OF that scheme. 1t
Is not certain. however. that this action
can be construed as Indicating anything
as TO his attitude toward the proposition
that the United States shall furnish, d.
rectly or indirectly. the means Of con-
structing that canal He may be op-
posed TO having the canal built by the
money or on the credit Of tho United
States Government. and yet unwilling
TO throw obstacles in the way Of the
construction OF that grand highway Of

In paper read by Mr. A. l.. Bowley
before the London Statistical Society it
was found by careful inquiry that,
having regard TO the increased purchas-
ing power of money. average wages and
average incomes in England were about
doubled between 1850 and 1880. The ave-
rage wage in money increased 40 per cent.
between 1860 and 1874, fell half that amount
between 1874 and 1880. and again reached
the higher figures in 1891. The average in
come increased 50 per cent. in the thirty
years. 1t follows that the average stand
ard OF living must have been improved
largely in that time.-Baltimore Sun.
Are these statements reliable?

p. o. Vickery built two neat tcnements
on Spring street at a cost of about $500
each. An old house that appears like
new and is a handsome one now is the
residence of +. S. Lyman on Winthrop
street, which has undergone thorough re-
pairs and many fine Improvements have
been made after an expenditure of few
thousand dollars. Will Gage has beauti-
fled the corner of Winthrop and Chestnut
streets by the erection of q fine residence
elegantly finished. j. ?. Wyman has built
a new house on Granite street, where
one of his houses stood that was de-
stroyed last spring, by fire.
On Chapel street is the attractive dwell
ing of A. N. J. Lovejoy that has just been
finished and is very finely finished inside.
This little mansion cost about $4,000 On
Western avenue are the two new resi-
dences Of Byron Boyd and City Clerk
Burleigh, both large and finely finished,
each being lighted by electricity and
heated by steam. The cost will nearly
reach $4,000 for each. Dr. Joseph Kicker
has built a neat home opposite the Au
gusta House for Col. Philbrook, that cost
about $500. Down in Staplcton some
four or five tenements have been built
and will aggregate an average cost of
about $1,000 each At the lower end of
State street Bert Norcross has erected a
handsome residence and barn that will
reach about $500 in cost and is equipped
thoroughly throughout. On Union street
are two houses, one new and the other
has been very extensively changed and i'm
proved. They are owned by Mr. Morton
and Fred Lawrence. The Methodist
parsonage on Green street figures among
the nice dwellings and is splendid struc-
ture at a cost of about $4,000. The Troy
steam laundry ON Bridge street is one of
the new buildings, and so is the building
on State street near st. Mary's church
occupied by Eugene Marson as a carriage
shop The Crescent laundry is also a
new building and near it the Augusta
Beef Co. is erecting an addition to its
establishment. /. The First Baptist church
has been repaired and about $500 ex
pended. J. b. Shaw has rebuilt on Bridge
street and the Perkins residence has also
been remodeled. The total cost of the
building in the city will probably reach
$780, 900. Many houses have been repaired
slight additions built and changes made
Nearly all have been furnished with water
service and some are lighted by electricity
