General William Booth, the head
of the Salvation Army of the world,
arrived in Seattle at $3.50 Monday
afternoon, and was rendered a re-
ception by the Mayor and city
council together with the clergy of
the city. The Seattle papers, rising
above prejudice and the belief or
non belief in religious creeds each
pay a very high tribute to the
Salvation Army, of Seattle, for the
numerous acts of charity which it
has performed in that city, and
further state that although the
army is composed of the poorest
people in the city, it has done more
for the poor than any other religious
denomination in the Metropolis.
Rev. Wallace Nutting says: sit is
a sacred example of the poor help

CONTRASTING THE INCOME TAX.

The first case to test the cOnstitu-
tionality Of the income tax law hA:
been brought in the supreme court
of the District of Columbia. The
petition is for an Injunction to re-
strain the commissioner of Internal
revenue from collecting the tax.
The complainant is John G. Moore,
of New York city. Mr.. Moore is a
prominent director of the Manhat
tan Railroad Compa ~, Western
Union Telegraph Company, etc
and proposes to litigate the case to
and through the Unlted States SUI
preme court. He is represented by
ex-senator George F. Edmunds, OF
Vermont. and Messrs Shellabargel
and Wilson. The complaint charges
unequal and double taxation, tax
alton of aliens whose revenue il
derived from sources wholly outside
the United States and numerous
other alleged illegal, inequitabl,
and unconstitutional discrimina-
lions.
The progress of the case will bt
watched with interest. If the
supreme court of the District o.
Columbia shall grant the injunction
it will put an eud to the collections
under the law until the question il
finally decided 10y the supreme
court of the United States.
1t is TO be hoped that we have
enough congressman with back bone
to defend this law against the com
bined efforts of the New York
mony changers, who are trying t.
repeal it. There is little dJubt but
what the law will stand the test o.
the court. Nearly every country
of Europe has an income tax and il
is giving universal satisfaction.
From he who hath shall be taken
and from he who hath not, shall no
be taken even that which he has

There was either an eruption or a
terrific hurricane on Mt. Rainier, lasl
Sunday. What appeared to be dense
column ofsmoke and steam, was plainly
visible from Seattle in the afternoon.
The phenomena lasted for several min
utes, and was witnessed by great
many people. AS the column, ofwhat
appeared to he smoke and steam, did
not rise from the exact vicinity of the
crater, many think that it was IA terrific
hurricane, and that what appeared to
be smoke was only earth and SNOW

covering all the subj ,cts.c,nn .cted

tory. The Oregon laws are at the
present in force in Alaska, and have
been ever since the organization of
the territory. They are in many
instances lily adapted to the lDcal
conditions prevailing in Alaska,
and even where they are fairly
satisfactory, the means of admins
tering them are SO insufficient as to
have caused very serious complaint
in the past on the part of the people
affected. III nee, besides recon-
mending laws for the government
of the seal catch and others looking
to the prevention of the destruction
of the salmon interests, Messrs
Hamlin and Murray will probably
recommend timber laws and new
land, mining, liquor, customs and
school laws. There will also prob
ably he a recommendation that
three or four judicial districts be
created, TO take the place of the
present system, which is comprised
In one district.
The report embodying their re-
is now in course of
preparation, and will be submitted
to congress early in the session
after the holidays, with the hope
that there may be time left for con-
gressional action.
