The Supreme Court on Monday rendered
its decision on the Income Tax law. Two
sections are proclaimed unconstitutional.
but the remainder Of the law stands, the
court being four to four The turned down
sections are those that relate TO incomes De.
ri7ed from rents. aud from State, county
and Municipal bonds The effect Of all the
opinions delivered is 10 show that the court
Was unanimous in the opinion that the iaw
is unconstitutional as TO municipal and
State bonds that Chief Justice Fuller aud
Justices Field, Gray, Brewer, Brown and
Sniras held il 20 be invalid on incomes de-
rived from rents, and that Justices Harlan
and White dissent from this opinion as TO
rents. Il is impossible TO state the exact di-
vision as to the validity of the other parts
Of the law further than was disclosed by the
proceedings. Il appears quite clear that
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan
and White voted 20 sustain the other parts
Of the law. and the best opinion obtainable
is that Justice Brown stood with them in
this opinion which would leave Justices
Field, Gray. Brewer and Shirss as the OPP
pOnents Of the law as a whole Politics
seems TO have had little or nothing to do
with the decision.

Tribute to Mrs. Margaret Crane.

Gently, sweetly, calmly,
She fell asleep at last,
After days of suffering,
And the long night past.
Ere we bore her body
To its final rest,
The angels took her spirit
To her Saviour's breast.
On her placid brow
Pain had left no trace
But the angels kiss
Left peace upon her face.
We think of our dear mother,
Safe from all that harms,
From her own assurance,
Safe in Jesus arms.
Safe from sin and sorrow
In this world of pain,
We shall live on trusting
To meet her soon again.
Our hearts are sore at parting
From our dearest earthly guide,
But we hope to be united
Beyond the "surging tide"
In memory of mother who died in Staun
on, Va, March s, 1895.
