The Dawes Commission.

Last Saturday the Dawes Commls-
sion, except Senator and Miss Dawes
came down and spent the day here
looking over the town and learning
all they could. Captain Mckennon
was warmly greeted by his nuner-
GUS friends, as was Allen Boyd, who
was once a resident OF this place.
They spent the day looking about,
mostly under the guidance of Field
ing Lewis. In the afternoon they
expected to take a ride, having been
invited by Gus. A. Gill, but a shower
came up just as they started oGt, the
ride was abandoned.
They expressed wonder at the rap
id growth that was apparent.
The first work to which they will
give their attention is, as outlined in
dispatches heretofore, the townsite
matter This is very important
matter, and both Indians and whites
are interested in it. 1t is to be hoped
that they viii be able to effect sat

report a splendid time as far as the
social feature of the gathering was
concerned, but they are unit in
condemnation of the methods of eX-

Houston. The only aim seemed to
have been, to take advantage of the
crowded condition of their city and
to charge as many prices as they saw
proper for Accommodations. Nothing
short of one dollar would secure a

THE INCOME TAX VOID.
The Supreme Court of the United
States Declares it to be
Unconstitutional

The income tax, together with
other reprehensible features Of Cleve-
lands administration. overwhelmed
the Democrats in November, and now
the Supreme Court has set it's seal
upon the popular verdict as the
proper and constitutional one. The
decision on Monday of the Supreme
Court is the logical completion of
the work begun by the original de-
cision. The latter swept away the
tax on incomes from rents and state
and municipal bonds, and Mondays
decision sweeps away the tax on in
comes of every description.
The conclusions of the court were
as follows:
"Fir8t, we adhere strictly to the
opinion already announced, that
taxes on real estate, being indisputa-
bly, direct taxes, taxes on the rents or
incomes of real estate are equally di-
rect taxes.
"Second, we are of opinion that
taxes on personal property, are like
wise direct taxes.
"Third, the tax imposed by section
81 to 81, inclusive, of the act of 1894,
so far as it falls on the income Of real
estate and on personal property,
being a direct tax within the mean
ing of the Constitution, and, there
fore, unconstitutional and void, be-
cause not apportioned according to
representation, all those sections
constituting one entire scheme of tax
alton are necessarily invalid.
"The DEGREES hereinbefore entered
in this court will be vacated. The
DEGREES below will be reversed, and
the cases remanded with instructions
to grant the relief prayed"
Sections 81 to 81 Of the tariff act Of
1894, referred to in the conclusions
of the court in the opinions, are all
the sections of the act relating to the
income tax, so that the entire income
tax is declared void specifically.

BAD PRACTICES.

We stood on the porch of the B.
& o. depot on Saturday last waiting
for train, and were actually fright
ened at the antics of small boys in
jumping off and on freight cars
while in motion. Most of these boys
seemed to be well dressed and look
ed as if they should have a good
home and proper parents. If they
are brought home dead or MANNED
then wall of woe goes up, and the
railroad company is denounced. Par
ents, if the boys do not 60 there, the
cars will not go to them or injure
them. Better look after your chill
dren, OF have stringent law to fog
or arrest them on sight.

Admiral Meade Retired.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Presi-
dent today signed an order directing
that Admiral Meade be retired.
In granting AdmiralMeade's appli'
cation the President administered a
severe repremand to him. The for
NAL, document bore this endorsement
"The within recommendation is
approved and Rear Admiral Richard
w. Meade is hereby retired from
actual service in the Navy pursuant
to section 1888 of tie r. S. The
President regrets exceedingly that
the long, active service Of this Off
Ger, so brilliant in its early stages
and so often marked by honorable
incidents, should at its close be tar
nished by conduct at variance with
q commendable career and inconsis.
tent with the example which an Off
Ger of his high rank should furnish
of subordination and submission TO
the restraints Of wholesome discipline
and manifest propriety."
The Admiral made his application
for retirement on May 8. In an in
terview which was published, he
gave this version of his retirement
MY ideas are not in accordance
with those Of this Administration
1 am just as much Disguised with it
as the people at large in this country
are, and l preferred to quit rather
than continue my connection with it.
| am an American and Union man.
Those are two things that this Adj
ministration cannot stand.
81 am young man yet. l have
five years before me that l might
serve before retirement. In two
years | would be the ranking officer
of the Navy. That is a pretty de-
sirable position, but preferred to
resign and sever all connection with
the Navy; renounce all rights of
succession and begin anew, rather
than continue in charge with all l
had to contend against"
When this criticism was brought
to the attention of President Cleve-
land and Secretary Herbert as Ad-
miral Meade's superior officers in the
Navy, he was called upon to explain
his conduct and to answer as to
whether he was responsible for the
published interview. To this Meade
made no satisfactory reply.
A court-martial would undoubted-
ley have been ordered, as his offence
was a serious one, according to naval
regulations, but On account of the
small chance OF securing direct evil
dence against the offending officer
his leave of absence was merely re-
voked, and it was finally decided to
retire him.

THE ELECTION LAW.

Judge E. Boyd Faulkner, in COM
menting on the election cases at
CharIes-Town this week, took occa.
sion to express his opinion on very
interesting feature Of our election
law. The law requires that q voter,
if challenged, cannot vote unless he
makes out an affidavit, in which he
states his residence, etc., and swears
to it. The usual opinion heretofore
has been that the election commits.
sioners were compelled to take the
vote then, though the voter could
be arrested atterward, if the affida-
Wit was false, both for perjury and
for illegal voting. Judge Faulkner
declared that if the commissioners
know q voter is not entitled to vote.
they have right to refuse to let him
vote, the affidavit to the contrary
Notwithstanding. In other words
the commissioners should not receive
the vote, if they know it is illegal.
This is wise, just and legal opinion
sustained by common sense and JUS
tice.

OoMMREOENEET APPROACHES.

Now that the commencement
season is approaching, we may look
for a great deal OF school discussion.
The sweet girl graduate, and the
stately senior, with their respective
orations on great subjects, will now
parade in the editorial column.
There is not sufficient attention
given to the really advantageous in
fiuence of the commencement speech
es. They are wanting in exact and
practical knowledge, but they are
not to be condemned for that reason
when they have the merit of abound
ing cheerfulness' Mhich is an assur-
ance OF courage, enterprise and con-
tinuance. The fact that they look
on the bright side as if that were
the only one is not a sign of folly,
but an evidence Of strength and a
promise of achievement. 1t would
be lamentable to see the schools
making pessimists of their pupils
and starting them out with a poor
opinion of their ability to accomplish
definite and profitable results.

Before another issue of the INDIE

1t behooves every voter to vote for
Che men who will strictly attend to
the public interests and business. The
financial report OF the present Coun-

in the treasury than there has been
