not binding and was-as all the parties

Congress insisted that there vas a better
way than the payment of lump sum as a
compromise, and some members of our
national legisla ture even went so far as to
intimate that the amount agreed to by the
state Department was excessive and that
most of the claims were fraudulent. The
better way in the opinion of Congress was
the organizing of an international COM

Peter Turney of Tennessee may for a
while be officially addressed as Governor
Turney. but it does not appear how any one
who has read the evidence upon which he
has been seated could honestly regard him
as Tennessee's legitimate chief executive
AT the polls an unmistakable majority of
the votes was cast for Clay Evans, yet, with
the machinery of state government in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS men, it has been
found possible to destroy over twenty
thousand ballots and thus bring about a
reversal of the popular decision. Against
this conspiracy large number of reputable
democrats-all of whom, 1t Is presumed
voted for Turney-have protested in vain,
and now, so far as the seating of Turney is
concerned, the design of the plotters has
been contaminated. In the eyes of the
practical politician whose sympathies are
with the democratic party the overthrow
of Evans may seem to be a democratic
victory; the patronage which the governor
controls has been rescued, when it was al
most within the clutches of the republicans,
and of itself this is doubtless regarded by
some democrats as matter of the greatest
possible moment. Turney's apostles may
declaim as much as they please against
the evils that might be consequent upon
republican rule in Tennessee, but they will
some of these days have to acknowledge
that more short-sighted policy than the
one they have adopted could hardly be
planned; for the temporary advantage they
have gained is as nothing when compared
with the disadvantages that will locally
and generally be suffered by the demo-
cratic party because a political ring has
set at naught the will of a majority of the
voters of Tennessee.

1t has been very well understood that of
the new garbage appropriation $4,000 were
for the collection and removal in the ordi-
Eary way of the garbage. and that $4,000
were for Incarceration, reduction OR other
improved method of disposal In fact. the
law so states. The Commissioners are
given power to lump, so to speak. these
appropriations, but 1t certainly does not
seem to be within the spirit of the law
that the city should pay any part of this
$4,000 or at the rate of $4,000 a year I'M
less one of the modern methods of gar
bage disposal is installed. If the temper
airy garbage contractor Is paid for his four
months service on the basis of an annual
appropriation of 10000 it may reasonably
he assumed that he will be required to in
cinerate or reduce the garbage, and not be
permitted merely to remove it as at pres
ent. AS the law explicitly states that for
the collection and removal only of garbage
and dead animals but $4,000 are appro-
priated, 1t is not to be presumed that the
Commissioners will eXpend any part of the
extra $4,000, appropriated for the pur-
pose of giving to Washington the benefit
of garbage incineration or reduction. with
out securing to the capital this benefit.

A few American newspapers are endeav-
oring 10 justify Great Britain's recent self
ish action in Boring Sea by reference to the
our State Department asked Congress to
appropriate to settle the claims of Cana
dian sealers who, according to the general
findings of the Paris court of arbtratio
on the question of jurisdiction, might be
supposed to have suffered improper abridg-
ment of seal-fishng privileges because of
the activity of the United States police
The error made by most of the newspapers
in question is in imagining that the Paris
tribunal rendered verdict against the
United States in the sum named. The
court did nothing of the sort: it did not
take into consideration any of the claims
that had been or might be made; it dealt
only with general principles AS soon.
however, as the arbitrator made public
their decision, the Canadian sealers at
once appealed TO the British government
for assistance in the arduous task of col
lectlng money from the United States the
claims being based upon the announced
conclusions of the Paris court as to iuris-
diction. Then followed correspondence be-
tween the British government and our
Department of State, and they agreed that
the easiest way for the United States to get
out Of the middle would be to pay the
British government a lump sum of si25, 900.
which sum, of course. would be divided
among the claimants. The agreement was

BY this time President Dole and his asso-

After giving to the income-tax case moro
of consideration than has in recent years
been given to any of tie many other i'm
portant suits brought before It for settle
ment, the Supreme Court of the United
States has finally decided that the IN
fair, irquisitoriaI and altogether ubiquitous
income-tax law is wholly unconstitutional.
The decision is not surprising one. for
although some members of the court be-
lieNed the statute to haze a Just founda-
tlon 1t was, nevertheless, the not-iristily
reached conclusion of tbs great majority
of Amerlcans that the tax could not be
justified by those who We're of the opinion
that the best laws rest upon a basis OF
equity. The income-tax law enacted by
the Fiftythird Congress. from the moment
when it Was first proposed 20 increase the
receipts of government by sucn means,
was generally regarded rs class legislation.
Favored by the populists because it was
aimed only at those who had succeeded
in life in matters financial, the PROPOSE
ton gathered to itself the support of those
weakened members of the old political
parties who imagined the sky was a trifle
more cloudy than usual and who promptly
ran into what seemed to them to he the
most acceptable shelter. At that time no
heed was given to those voices which
again and again declared that the law
would surely be condemned as unconsti-
tutional soon the Supreme Court had
fair chance to pass upon its provisions
and there was always lack of an audience
when some of the far-sighted legislators
insisted that other sources of revenue
should be opened up so that, should the
law be crushed, the government would not
be hampered by shortness of funds. Now
there is TO income-tax law, and there is
mourning a the Treasury Department and
rejoicing almost everywhere else for the
law had already been rendered, by the
previous Supreme Court decision, unac-
ceptable even to many of its populistic
trainers. Money the government must have
or the executive wheels will cease 10 run.
The means by which the necessary cash
can be secured are two in number: bond is
sues or extra session of Congress. Both
are to some extent undesirable. but the
general preference doubtless will be for
the latter.
