A SUPREME DUTY.

The Supreme Court of the United States
owes a supreme duty to the people IN
the matter of the odious and NOW
eviscerated income tax law. The duty
is the rendition of a decision at the
earliest possible time upon the vitality
of that portion of the statute which
has not as yet been either sustained or
overthrow. The Importance of speedy
and decisive opinion from the court of last
resort upon this matter has been doubly
accumulated by what it has recently de-
cided.
If the officials who are charged with the
execution of the law were in state OF
doubt before, they are now in a state OF
despair. If the law as a whole was I'M
equal, that which now remains is doubly
so and more than doubly inequitable and
unjust. If the statute in its completeness
placed burden, with some pretense OF
uniformity, upon the virtues of saving and
thrift, it now imposes the whole weight OF
its encouragement upon still higher vir-
tues of enterprise and energy, upon the
very genius and faculty of creating wealth.
In the cause just decided the Supreme
Court has not seen its way clear to pass
entirety valid or void. We propose to sub
NIT to that high tribunal a case so fairly,
fully and directly presenting the whole act
for decision as to make the avoidance Of
such a judgment impossible to the court
without breach of its solemn duty to the
people, whose servant it should be.
The proprietor of this newspaper has
heretofore declared and now reiterates that
he will refuse to pay an income tax, and
will resist at every stage the effort to col
lect it under this unequal and now emas-
culated act. This will be done with no
design to oppose or impede the enforce
ment of the laws of the country which are
valid, but solely with view TO test the
constitutionality of statute which in
all honor and good conscience is believed
TO be void. The cause which has been pre-
scented already appears to have been such
in form as not to compel the court to an
opinion upon the whole enactment. In
short, upon that case the court could In
honor, as it did in fact, postpone its ruling
as to those parts of the statute upon which
there was serious division among its
members.
We intend to leave no loophole for such
an evasion of the supreme duty OF the
hour with respect to this matter. This
upas tree of legislation should have the ak
of justice laid to its roots and not applied
to its branches. 1t ought to be stricken
down as a whole rather than de-
stroyed piecemeal. The Supreme Court
cannot afford to WELD pruning
knife when the iniquity of the statute
and the emergency of its attempted
execution require the woodsman's blade.
Let the ministers of the law proceed to
enforce this act upon its offered victim
with all the speed they may and we shall
feel proud to present our claim, as well as
the claim of the great State of California
that this always unequal but now intensi-
fed outrage in the form of legislation is
void in its entirety and vain and bad and
abortive altogether.

The popularity of the fairy opera, "Hansel
and Gretel" continues to spread over Europe
like an epidemic. 1t is only one of Grimm's
fairy tales put to music that has been described
as "Wagner made easy" and was written by
Wagner's favorite disciple, Engelbert Humper-
dinck, who was once chorus master at Bay
reuth, but the work continues to charm chill
dren and adults alike. In Germany more than
forty cities have hailed it with enthusiasm, in
London it has run successfully in three dill
ferent theaters, and is still the rage, while in
Vienna, where it has just been produced, the
public have gone crazy over It, The famous
critic Ed. Hanslck, who is not lenient toward
new works, does not fear to affirm that since
Mozart no composer has appeared with more
genius than Humperdinek. The Viennese pa
pers are telling some pretty stories apropos of
"Hansel and Gretel" One is that little girl,
10 ears old, wrote to the Empress that she
was very unhappy because she heard every one
talking of the fairy opera, and she could never
see the beautiful work because her bedtime
came before the hour OF going to the theater.
The En- press, touched by the little letter, IN
strueted the manager of the theater TO reply to
the baby petitioner that "Hansel and GreteP'
should be given once as a matinee on her ac-
count. The Emperor, wishing to have his
share in the affair, decided to make the repre-
sentation children's fete, and had candy and
toys distributed to all the little visitors. At
Mullhouse "Hansel and GreteP was also the
occasion of fete, when splendid Christmas
tree was donated to the towns children, and
when the opera was being played at Mayence
an amusing scene took place. Among the
flowers that enthusiastic admirers heaped upon
the prims donna was discovered a beautiful
basket containing tiny curly dog. The play
was by common consent interrupted while the
little creature was christened "Hensel."
Miss Zelie de Lussen, the New York prima
DONNA who is SO popular with her Britannia

The subject is one that has excited consider
able attention lately on account of Miss
Holmes new lyric drama, ''The Black Noun
tain," and Miss de Lussen, who has had oppor-
tunities of meeting many of the prominent
women composers, speaks her mind very frank
~ about them:

enough to become composer" she says. GAS

A NEEDLESS ALARM.

The Sacramento Record Union sees
serious cause for alarm because the Cali
fornia Debris Commission have issued
licenses TO 112 hydraulic mines to operate.
The tabulated statement of the liz mines
includes an exhibit of the number of cubic
yards of earth they propose to move, and
the Record Union says: They propose to
move earth enough to fill Suisun Bay and
raise the delta OF the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers to such an extent as TO
make lake of all the country lying be-
tween Antioch and the city of Stockton"
The ground is taken that this material will
be run into the tributaries of the Sacra-
mento River, and only be held back by I'M
substantial dams. The paper says also that
the Caminetti bill is simply an ingenious
device for the resumption of hydraulic
mining, utterly regardless of the rights and
interests of the people whose property is to
be destroyed by it."
The real fact is that no hydraulic mine
can be legally operated in the drainage
basin of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers unless it obtains license from the
California Debris Commission, and the
law under which they were appointed ex-
such mines must be impounded. No per-
mission to mine can take effect until the
prescribed restraining works or settling
basins are safe to use; and no license is
issued until the commission is satisfied
the mine can do no harm with its debris.
The commission is composed of United
States engineers, who are very conserva-
tive, and who are skilled in the preserva-
ton OF navigable streams. They will not
issue a license to mine where the streams
will be endangered.
If the miners were in fact, as is implied,
to dump their debris into the rivers, a stop
would be put to their operations at once,
as would be proper. No one wants to see
the streams injured or individuals suffer
loss from mining debris; nor does it seem
at all probable that this can occur under
the present law and Debris Commission.
When it is found that the debris-impound-
ing works enforced by the commission, and
paid for by the miners, are ineffective, it
will be time to consider some other
method. But thus far they have been
found to answer the purpose very well.
though the miners are unable to work to
their former capacity when using them.
At the same time, they prevent damage to
streams or individuals, while permitting
the miner to pursue his vocation and add
to our gold product.
If it is ever found that damage is being
done the law will doubtless be changed,
but there is little fear of that as long as
the Government engineers have control of
the mining operations as well as the rivers,
as at present. They have the power to
close down any mine at any time when
they see fit, and there is no appeal from
their decision. The whole question of
hydraulic mining in the section referred to
is in their hands, with absolute authority
conferred by the Congress of the United
States, and they will permit no injury to
be done.

few days after crossing the Mexican from
tier we had a different sort of lynching expe-
rienee, in which, strange to say, we ourselves
played the part of the mob. Going to Laredo
we made the acquaintance of sheriff who had
a manacled man in his charge, and who, he
told us, was an escaped murderer who had not
yet been tried.
The Sheriff remarked that our destinations
were not far apart, for the theater at Laredo
is only few feet from the jail. The night of
our arrival we played "The French Spy" q
regular blood-and-thunder melodrama, with
any amount of shooting, red light and pistol
firing. The next morning some of US strolled
down to visit the Sheriff and casually asked
after his prisoner. "He nearly died of fright"
was the answer. "When he heard the shout
ing and the firing outside, no one could per-
suade him that mob had not come together
to lynch him."
And after what we had seen at Dennison we
did not laugh at the mans unnecessary terror,
as We might otherwise have done.
