that the political parties will not
let the matter drop, and the sup
porters of the income-tax principle
will either favor the construction OF
law upon different lines or an
appeal to the public court to secure
an amendment to the Constitution.
The decision, far from being the
death-knell to the democratic idea
of raising revenue, will tend to IN
crease the agitation for reduction
of import duties and a fair trial OF
g. system which will presumably
cause the capitalist to pay dearly
for the fruits of his energy.
With the popular American
mind in its present state, however,
it appears most doubtful whether
it will listen kindly to a second at
tempt at an experiment that has
on first trial resulted in such
general disaster.

ACCORDING to interviews given
out by "our friends the enemy" at
the Coast, one might well infer that
the heads of the Republic are ex-
pecting to step down and out at any
moment, and bow in quiet submits
sion to the return Of monarchy.
While the heads of this bureau of
information are venting their spleen
and furnishing food for conversa-
ton, the Republic continues quietly
on its way, daily strengthening its
position and giving the lie to the
foolish yarns of dangerous citizens
endeavoring to pay off old scores.
We cannot answer for the gullibil-
ity of the people in the States, but
there is the same possibility of the
return of monarchy here as there is
of the return of the thirteen original
States to British control.

INCOME TAX AGITATION.

Political condemnation of the
legislation and lack of Legislation
of the Fifty-third Congress has fol
lowed thick and fast since the adj
journment of that body, but it has
remained for the Supreme Court
Of the United States to administer
the final and crushing blow by de-
claring the income tax unconstitu-
tional. The searching criticism
given by Chief Justice Fuller as
the opinion Of the court is proof
positive that the measure was poor
Jy constructed if not ill-conceived.
One of the results of the action of
the court will undoubtedly be the
continuation of the income tax and
tariff agitation as live political is
sues. The victory of the republic
cans consists in the destruction of
corner stone of the Wilson
tariff bill, and it is easy to forecast
the return to revised tariff duties to
provide for the deficiency in
revenue which the income tax
returns were planned to fill.
Even democratic organs have
gone so far as to recommend 1.-The
substitution of specific for ad
valorem duties on sugar. In the
past nine months the sugar tax
has brought only 100000 into
the Treasury instead of $25, 100000
that it should have yielded"
The Court says: eve are not
here concerned whether an income
tax be or be not desirable, nor
whether such a tax would enable
the Government to diminish taxes
on consumption and duties on i'm
ports, and to enter upon what may
be believed to be a reform of it's
fiscal and commercial systems.
Questions of that character belong
to the controversies of political
parties, and cannot be settled by
judicial decisions. And again:
" If it be true that the Constitution
should have been so framed that a
tax of this kind should be laid, the
instrument defines the way for it's
amendment" From the above it
may be very naturally inferred
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-05-28

THE dissenting opinion of JUS
tice Jackson in the income tax de-
cision will be hard blow to ex-
President Harrison's boom for re-
nomination in 1896. Jackson is a
Democrat appointed by President
Harrison to succeed the late JUS
tice Lamar. Republican politicians
opposed the appointment of Dem
ocrat by Republican president,
but Mr.. Harrison with his charac-
teristic tenacity held that politics
should not be taken into considera-
ton in the appointment of Supreme
Judges and it was highly proper
that the political complexion of
the court should remain unchanged.
Though Justice Jackson's opinion
was not drawn on political lines,
Mr.. Harrison's opponents are not
likely to look upon it in that light.

the most attractive sets in
simple yet richest designs that
would suit the most fastidious,
being SO arranged that
you have complete and in

should you desire to serve a
dinner of courses.
One design is known as the
open pattern, oyster mould,
No. 2I96 and are ordered in
such quantities that should
you be so unfortunate to break
any one of the dishes of the
different courses it can be re-
placed, and your set IS still
complete.
The set in the window
deserves your special attention.
There is something so elabor-

the oyster set of solid silver,

the regatta which will take place
next month at Pearl Harbor. 1t
will be one of the finest races
ever seen in Honolulu. Every
body in fact is racing now. The
boat clubs are racing. Horses
for the Waianae meeting are in
training to race. The disin-
fectors are racing the comma
bacillus. People all over the
country are raising h allelujah
on account of cholera, fumiga-
tion, quarantine and no quaran-
tine. The "Claudine" is to race
the "Monowai" and advance re-
ports Of our cholera. And the
bikers in town are getting their
wheels ready to race away from
the whole business.
And it is to the same bikers
that we want to talk to-day.
We have got the best racing
wheel manufactured in the
United States. THE TRIBUNE
CYCLE has gained a reputation
not enjoyed by any other racing
cycle. The numerous good qua
lities of this light, elegant,
though solid wheel, have re-
ceived the highest praise from
everybody competent Of judging
of the good points Of the fin de
S5 Gle racer.
The Tribune Wheel is built
by the Black Manufacturing Co.,
at Erie, Penn, and it has given
universal satisfaction to the
riders who have tried it during
the last years. Some very valu-
able improvements have been
added to the original Tribune
Cycle.
The Cycloidal Sprocket has
met an enthusiastic approval
from all connoisseurs. There is
no additional friction with the
Cycloidal Sprocket, no matter
how great the power applied, the
chain simply pulls direct and
squarely on the face of the teeth
and the power is freely impaired
to the wheel. This is the rea-
son that the Tribune Bicycles
have earned a reputation for
their smooth and easy running.
We have sold number of the
Tribunes in town, mostly racers;
and we advise the boys who
want to enter the races, now con-
templated, to secure one of these
superior wheels. The Tribune
Racer weighs only eighteen (1S)
pounds, and the depth of frame
is "a or 269 inches. 1t is the
fastest and easiest running ma
chine in the market and it's ad-
vantages in sprinting are be-
yond all question. Racing men
who have tried it once cannot
be induced to ride without it.
We invite the cyclers of the
town to call in and inspect the
machine which we offer with a
complete outfit at a very reason
able figure. If you want to be q
winner ride the Tribune.

Who under such circumstances
can blame the Kauaiites for being
careful and refusing to blindly de-
pend on the wisdom and discretion
of the Board of Health, the doctors,
ETC., in Honolulu Kauai has got
no cholera. The Garden Island feels
also happy in having no Board of
Health, very few doctors, hardly any
police, no colonel, and no quaran-
tine. The only one of these items
the good people want is quaran-
tine, and as the Board of Health
wouldn't furnish them with one, but
sent 70 Chinese from the Belgic in
stead they made one themselves and
a very effective one it was. Their
action may not he strictly correct in
law and may be annoying to Mr..
Rufus Spalding, but all circum-
stances considered any sensible man
will approve and applaud Kauai up
holding necessity VS.. law.
