Internal Revenue Reoespts.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 21.-The
report of Joseph S. Miller, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, was made public to-
day. 1t states that the receipts for the
fiscal year have fallen below his estimates
$27, 753, 900. This he attributes to the de-
cision of the Supreme Court declaring the
income tax unconstitutional after only
$77 900 had been collected. His estimate
for tie year was Sill 100000 and the actual
receipts $143, 246,00

PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO
Sanguine Predictions at the Equal
Rights Associations Meeting.
Rev. DR.. Bryant Declares the Future of the
Race Brighter Than Ever-Foster
Case Touched Upon.

The District OF Columbia Council of the
Equal Rights Association of the United
States met last night at Fifth Baptist
church on Vermont avenue, between and
streets northwest 4 number of dele
gates from the local branches of the coun
ell were present. President Jesse La awson
presided.
After the meeting had been opened by
prayer, Prof. Lawson talked of the purposes
of the association. saying that they meant
TO teach the colored people to support and
stand by the law Of the land, and not to
break il in any instance; To instil patriot
ism into the minds of their children, and
TO teach them that they are American
citizens.
He said that one great thing the race
has to contend with is that they are some
times little shiftless They start to do
things, but don't do them we'll The pur-
pose of the association is, he said, to teach
the colored people to do all things so well
that whenever anyone wants a thing done
they will say, ''let a colored man do IL -
Prof. Lawson then called upon Lawyer
Jones TO make Il report to the meeting Of
his investigation into the shooting of
Reuben Foster 10y Officer Green
Mr.. Jones reviewed the affair from the
beginning, referring To the verdict of acct
dental shooting rendered by the Coroner's
jury, and 10 the action the Grand jury had
taken.
A committee, he said, consisting of Rev.
DR.. Lee, himself. and several other gen.
tlemen, called on the Commissioners while
the case was in the hands of the grand
jury, TO ask that Green be removed from
the force pending the decision. The Com
missioners said that eventually they would
bring Green up before the police trial
board for violation of the police regu-
lations III the reckless use of his revolver,
but until he was found guilty by the police
trial board they would allow him to remain
on the force.
Mr.. Jones said that the affair would be
adjusted all right in the end, however,
and exhorted the coiored people to be
calm, dispasSionate, and moderate, re-
membering that in this country the people
will be true to the negro when they find
the negro true to himself.
Mrs. Z. j. Webster, deputy councillor,
was the next speaker, and dwelt at some
length on the Hillsdale affair. 1t was
natural, she said, that the relatives of
the officer should do all they could to aid
his case. and it was proper for Mr.. Moss,
as his lawyer, to do all he could TO clear
his client. She characterized the verdict
of the coroner's jury as a genuine lie,
without adulteration. She believed in
agitation. and didn't want the mass meet
ings stopped.
Rev. Dr. wellington Bryant, national
secretary of the council, spoke at some
length on the work of the councils in the
different States, and said that the future
of the negro to-day in the United States
is brighter than ever before in history,

that belongs TO the heritage OF an American
citizen.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Heretofore The Times has advocated
the income tax because it was the inten-
tion OF Congress TO provide a measure that
would collect revenues without discrimi-
nation from persons who had prospered. 1t
is well known that prosperity represents
the cumulative efforts Of many, and that
people who succeed, or who derive incomes
in any form. must do so from wealth that
comes from the combined labor Of others.
The proposition 10 tax all incomes Of
-four thousand dollars and over seemed just
That amount is sufficient for ordinary
living purposes, and persons with larger
incomes could afford 10 contribute 2 per
cent OF their surplus toward defraying the
expenses OF government, without hardship
But the decision of the Supreme Court ex-
enpts at least half the incomes so taxed,
and because OF this discrimination The
Times will in future demand the repeal OF
the income tax
The Supreme Court undoubtedly decided
according to its construction OF the con-
stitutionai right Of Congress to levy tax
alton. Therefore no criticism is intended
for that learned body, nor would il be just
20 state that it would have been better TO
have declared the entire law invalid. The
court passed upon the several provisions
OF the law without considering the measure
as an entirety. and found that part offhem
1nterfered with the rights of the public.
A law that taxes one part of the public
TO the detriment Of another should not exist.
According 10 the decision incomes received
from rents and interest on State and munic-
ipal bonds are exempt from taxation, but
incomes derived in any other manner must
pay per cent. In other words, persons
who depend upon an agent to collect rents,
or who clip coupons, may do so without
sharing with Uncle Sam, while hustling,
bustling business men, salaried managers
and people who promote enterprises to give
employment to wage-earners are compelled
60 divide their earnings.
Thismay be law, but it is not justice, and
The Times is opposed TO it.

GEN. oRDWAY HOME AGAIN.
He Talks About the Armory. the New Small
Arms and Military Affairs

Gen. Albert Ordway, was rolling to and
fro in his rocker, perfuming the room with
fog Of Havana incense and bending overa
military magazine es The Times man en-
tered to congratulate him upon his return to
Washington after a seven weeks trip to
Europe
Yes, had very pleasant little run
over" said he, with a careless gesture
and an airy way as though a trip to Europe
on the City of Paris, and back to the
United States on the City of New York was
of slight consequence.
Gen. Ordway's bland features are some
what tarnished by exposure to the winds of
the great sea. and there is a tar and oakum
flavor in his talk.
Il don't know anything about militia
matters, nothing about the armory wran-
gle, and nothing about the outlawed track;
nothing about anything local. said the
general, choking the reporter off before
be could ask these questions.
Il went on business for the Hotchkiss
Company, visited the offices at London
and Paris, and came home without being
feted by royalty or seeing d sea serpent.
/ wouldn't like TO make a bet that the
naval small arms board will adopt the

has been improved of late.
The gun already adopted by the army

regulars have been provided / don't
know whether the States and Territories
viii be supplied in alphabetical order or
whether in tie seniority of the organiza-
ton of their militia. In either event,
the District will be reached early in the
course of dispensation
THE question of the superiority of The
magazine over the single-shot rifle for the
use of troops not fire disciplined is still
open To debate. The temptation of untried
men to waste ammunition in action is
strong. II is not the number of shots which
a man shoots. but the number which he
places, that counts.
Hundreds of thousa nds of our troops
must necessarily be verdantly raw when
the emergency of war arises, and in the
hands of troops of this character the pres
ent single shot Springfield is a mighty
good gum said Gen. Ordway, as he
picked up a time -honored Springfield
fondled the barrel caressingly, and patted
il tenderly on the stock.
NO, l won't say that ! saw any more
servicea BILE looking soldiers in Europe
than those who tread the concrete plains
and asphalt lanes of home. Washington
cannot boast of the antiquities of parts
of London Town, nor can she put on as
much style as Paris, but in the matter of
youthful beauty she gets there just the
same"

WINNING FRIENDS.

onevery side The Times is winning friends
by its fearless defense Of public rights.
Cheaper and better gas and lower water
rents are necessities TO many people. They
ere essential TO a reduced cost OF living. aud
during these times when economy is abso-
lutely required the public commend the
efforts TO cheaper tie prices.
The crusade on Jackson City and the out
law track is also having good effect. These
dens OF iniquity have thrived uunoticed
until The Times began 10 publish an account
Of their lawlessness. They are bringing
ruin TO young and old and are also oharboring
places for burglars and thieves. Sooner

duty OF every goodcitizen touse ehisinfluence

GAS GOVERNOR ECONOMY.

To-day's gas chart shows the fallibility
OF a gas governor as compared with the in
fallibnity of a gas company TO maintain
the size OF a gas bin. The test was made
by the government official who tried for
two years without avail to head off the gas
monopoly, and finally, more to relieve his
mind than from hope of obtaining justice,
complained TO the Washington gas
light monopoly and secured a reduction
OF his bHl. To most gas consumers this
will seem like a fairy story, but it is absolute
truth, and the reduction was as much of
surprise to the official as dollar gas would
be to the Washington public.
After six months trial OF two differ
ent kinds of gas governors under pre-
cisely the same conditions the amount
of the officials gas bill was slightly re-
duced, but only enough to pay the royal
ties for the use OF the governors. In other
words, the saving went into the pockets
Of the owners or the governors. A study
Of the following chart win tell the whole
story.

DIR. LAKs1Kgs ACCUSATION.

The attempt Of DR.. Lansing to create
sensation by accusing President Cleveland
OF drunkenness has been highly success
full. His charge, however, was promptly

the statement was made. -ea
