Death Of a Prominent Citizen.

The sudden death of Geo. II. He'll.
bron, editor of the Post MteNigencer,
illustrates the frail tenure of life held
by mortal man and the uncertainty as
to what moment the dread messenger
may make his appearance. Mr.. Hiel.
bron was, up to the day of his death,
in his ordinary health, and the sum-
mons seems to have come without the
slightest warning up to the moment of
death. He arose at o'clock ON the
fated Wednesday, the 3D. inst, and
repaired to his bath room. Three.
quarters OF an hour afterwards, he
was found in the bathtub dead. The
physicians, who were at once called,
decided that death had resulted from
apoplexy.
Deceased was born in Boston, Mass,
Nov. Sd, 1850. He graduated from
Harvard in 1883 and from the Boston
University Law School in 1856. Dur
ing the latter part of this course of in
struction he was connected editorially
with the Boston Globe. In the fall of
1856 he was admitted to the bar OF
Suffolk county, Mass.
He came west in 1887, and took up
his residence at Seattle, and became
at once identified with the business
OF that city. At the time of his death
he was manager of the Guaranty Loan
and Trust Co., as we'll as editor of the
leading journal of the State. Hr. H
was married in Boston. and leaves a
wife and two children.

Some Theatrical Stars.

The Executive Committee of the
Washington Press Association we're
the guests of Manager Hanna, at the
Seattle Theater, Seattle, last evening,
and witnessed the magnificent rendi-
ton OF Boxers romantic tragedy
" Francesca da Rimini," under the
mastery Interpretation of those kings
of the thespian realm. Frederick Warde
and Louis James. 1t is a play that
calls into activity all the resources of
an able and conscientious actor in the
leading roles, and with the talented
support at their command it was pre-.
sented under exceedingly favorable
auspices. Warde, as the hunchback,
was greeted with the most enthusiasts
tic applause, which found expression
in a score or more OF curtain calls dur
ing the play. Warde and James did
not, however, receive all the honors so
generously bestowed. There is a little
actress in the company named Edit,
Chapman, who sustained the difficult
and exacting part of Francesca" in
q manner that carried all hearts by
storm. In fact, were the truth plainly
stated, she was entitled to an equal
division OF the honors with those
whose regulations have become world.
wide, and who accepted the ovation
as matter of course for tribute to
their own genius. Miss Chapman, We
predict, will attain an eminence equal
to theirs, if time and opportunity are
propitious.

August Is, 1894, as means to impose
tax upon the rent or income of real
estate is invalid.
The court is further Of the opinion
that the act of August 10, 1894, is in
valid SO far as it attempts to levy a
tax upon the income derived from
municipal bonds.
AS a municipal corporation, it is the
representative of the State and one Of
| the instrumentalities of the State gov
eminent, 1.-THE property and: revenues
of municipal corporations are not the
subjects of federal taxation, nor is the
income derived from the State, county
and municipal security, since the tax
alton ON the interest therefrom ope-
rates on the power to borrow before it
is exercised and has sensible influence
on the contract, and therefore such a
tax is tax on the power of the States
and their instrumentalities to borrow
money, and consequently repugnant
TO the constitution.
Upon each of the other questions
argued, to-wit:
First-Whether any part OF the tax
if not considered as direct tax is in
valid for want of uniformity on either
OF the grounds suggested, the justices
who heard the argument are equally
divided and therefore no opinion il
expressed. The result is that the de-
cree OF the circui it court is reversed
and the cause remanded with direc-
tions to enter decree in favor OF
complainant in respect only of the
voluntary payment of the tax on rents
and income from the municipal bonds
owned or held by it.

A Splenetic Objection

The Olymptdn, with the unbounded
gall peculiar to tOlympia, wants the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
meet there instead OF at Walla Walla.
In view OF the fact that Olympia is sink
hole OF corruption, and nearly every one
there is a natural born corruptionist, and
that no member of the Legislature, no
matter how honest he might have been
upon his arrival, left his conscientious
ness behind him when he left, we think
with all due regard to the morals and
reputation of the Commission should
should give the capital a wide berth
We all know what is likely to happen ii
they should chance to meet there, and
can rest assured the people east of the
mountains will get no relief if Olympia
can help it.
The above extract, from the Walla
Walla Statesman, is reproduced simply
to show how bitterly spiteiul a writer
may become, without cause or reason.
If Olympia is more virtuous or more
venal and corrupt than Walla Walla
or any other city of its class. it will
probably be found on investigation
that it is only in excess of the brain
power it holds over such rivals. The
idea of characterizing any community
with such approbrious epithets could
only have originated in a small mind
that is subordinated by a vulgar pref
udice.

An internal machine was recently
sent to Miss Gertie Spicer, of Guy,
which came near ending that young
lady's life. The machine was cleverly
constructed of a cigar-box, containing
q block of wood, bored full of holes, in
which six tin tubes, in appearance not
unlike shotgun shells, had been placed,
the tubes being connected by a groove
in the bottom OF the box, and tubes
and groove filled with gunpowder, the
other spaces of the box being filled
with cotton saturated with nitric acid.
To explode this, a cap was placed on
the end Of nail, the trigger being ar
ranged to spring on raising the lid, it
FIRST having been set through a small
hole in the end of the box. The box
also contained two 3S-caliber pistol
cartridges, but these failed to explode.
The package was sent through the
mails, and when Miss Spicer got it
from the postoffice at Pullman, she
was somewhat suspicious of its ap-
pearance, and thought that perhaps
some would-be joker had Enclosed in
the box toad with the intention OF
frightening her. Her suspicion of this
probably saved her life, for she put the
box down on the sidewalk and raised
the cover with stick. AS soon as the
cover was raised an inch or two an
explosion occurred, which shook the
buildings, but Miss Spicer was not
seriously hurt. A disappointed lover
is thought to be responsible for the
villainous attempt at murder.

They Spat Their Venom.

They are having lively times down
in Arkansaw, if the dispatches may be
believed. The Governor of the State
and member of the Legislature have
been using each others faces for spit.
toons in defiance of propriety and
good taste. 1t seems that Representa-
tive Jones, of Marion county, de-
nounced Gov. Clark. as being the in
stigator of certain charges of bribery
that had been made concerning the
railroad commission bill. Gov. Clark
met Jones at the Gleason hotel. after
wards and asked for private interview
with Jones. The latter refused, hot
words followed, and in the alteration
which resulted both men spat in his
antagonists face, but who was the
first to offer this insult accounts differ.
The Governor finally drew pistol and
it was with considerable difficulty that
he was prevented from using it.
Gov. Clark says that he did not 60 to
the hotel with view of making
trouble, but what followed was the
sequence OF incidents that occurred on
the spur OF the moment. 1t is to be
regretted that this Governor and the
doughty Scion should not have Guilt

DAMAGE AND DELAY FROM Snow
The great snowfall reported last Fri.
day in Nebraska and Colorado sur.
passes all precedent. The snow in the
canyons was many places from so to
40 feet deep, the surface being above
the telegraph poles. All travel and
traffic was suspended. Not train ar.
rived at Denver Sunday from the
blockade, and rotary snow plows were
kept busy in the effort to open COM
munication. Amid the snow drifts
were found beds of sand. The body
of sheep herder was unearthed from
one of these mounds. He had proba
bly, been frozen to death. The loss to
stock will be very large. That there is
no cloud without silver lining is
exemplified, however, in the fact that
this unusual precipitation will proba.
bly, ensure abundant crops in that
drouthstricken region next season.

THE INCOME TAX.
ITS PROVISIONS ONLY PARTIALLY
SUSTAINED

BY the High COurt-The Exceptions
Apply to Income from Rents ind
on Municipal Bonds which En-.
body the Principle of Direct Tax.
alton Reserved by the States.
The U. S. Supreme Court sustains
the constitutionality OF the income act
of Congress, except in as lar as it i'm.
poses tax on the income from rents
from real estate, and 80 far it attempts
to levy tax upon the incomes de-
rived from municipal bonds.
The following is an official synopsis
OF Chief Justice Fuller's opinion. The
court is Of opinion
First-That by the constitution fed
eral taxation is divided into two
classes, direct taxation and duties, i'm
posts and excise.
Second-That the imposition OF di-
rect taxes is governed by the rule Of
spportionment among the several
States, according to numbers, and the
imposition of duties, imposts and ex-
cises by the rule of uniformity through
out the United States.
Third-That the principle that tax
alton and representation 60 together
was indicated to be, and was preserved
in the constitution by the establish
ment of the rule of apportionment
among the several States, so that such
apportionment should be according to
numbers in each State.
Fourth-That the States surren-
dered their power to lay imposts and
to regulate commerce to the general
government, and gave to it the con-
current power to levy taxes in reli-
ance on this protection afforded by
the rules prescribed, and that the
spirit OF the constitution cannot be
disturbed by legislative action.
Fifth-That these conclusions re-
suit from the text Of the constitution,
and are supported by the historic evil
dehce furnished by the circumstances
surrounding the framing and adoption
of that instrument, and the views OF
those who framed and adopted it.
Sixlh-That the understanding and
cAptCtdtiOu az Vic tllilc vi Tile auOp-
ton of the constitution was that di-
rect taxes would not be levied by the
general government except under the
pressure of extraordinary exigency
and such has been the practice down
to August 10, 1894. If the power to
do so is to be exercised as an ex:raor-
binary and unusual means of supply
that fact furnishes an additional rea.
son for circumspection in disposing Of
the present case.
Seventh-That taxes on real estate
belong to the class OF direct taxes. and
that the taxes on the REM or income
OF real estate, which is the incident o.
its ownership, belonging to the same
class.
i Eighth-That by no previous deci
sion OF this court has this question
been adjudicated to the contrary o
the conclusion now announced.

1T seems that "Thank God Haz-

At least it would seem so from the
comments of the Seattle Reriew, on

George Hazard has had an audi

rumored that the result may be
summed up to the effect that George

Nor So BAD AS THAT.-The Olyna-
plan, in commenting upon the release
of Oliver and Johnson, charged with
adultery, on the ground that our
State has no law defining that crime,
ingenuously remarks: "What effect
this fact will have upon society, when
it becomes generally known, remains
to be seen. It's possibilities are great
to say the least" Our contemporary
places very low estimate on human
impulse, if it imsgines that ordinary
mortals may be controlled by forms Of
law when a respect for its spirit is
wanting. Those who are restrained
by fear, instead of moral principle, We
believe are 90 few in number that
the possibilities" instead of being
great" are exceedingly small. Any
other belief indicates very low esti'
mate OF moral responsibility. Strange
that none Of the Legislatures Of the
State to date, including the last, have
done anything to correct this matter.
