realizing this fact, saw that they had
made mistake in giving us a iicepss

May 9th they ordered a lot of St. Asanb

New York on few minutes telegram

Judged and their action determined

Among the many proofs that such is

In THE famous case of Hylton VS..
United States, it was decided that q
tax on carriages, expenses and incomes
was not a direct tax, and that there
fore in laying it, only uniformity must
be observed. But yesterday it was de-
cided that such tax is direct tax.
and that therefore it must be laid by
the rule of apportionment. Evidently
the laws of the United States are not
like those of the Modes and Persians.
Is it any wonder that they are secuted
and fiouted by everybody except those
would be good citizens if there were no
laws? In the earlier and better days OF
the country, before the Influence Of
money had been manifested in the
courts a judge, was held in the highest
respect, but it is different now.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, May 2l,-The fifth
day of the 10Th General Assembly
opened this morning with the reading
of the the report of the committee on
home missions. The treasury of the
board is in debt $500, 900 and the COM
mittee recommended the first Sunday
in July as day for special offerings to
wipe out the debt. Many delegates
are possessed of the idea that the
dominsncy OF Briggsism in the affairs Of
the board has brought the treasury into
bankruptcy and the plan is to eradi-
cate the Briggs men, be their estate
high or low.

IT REALLY seems as if the govern
ment of this country is used chiefly as
an easy means for robbing and deceiv-
ing those whom it taxes on the neces
saries of life for its maintenance. 1t
has now been discovered that the ex-
pensive system of meat inspection, with
all its numerous officials and en-
ployees, instead of prohibiting the
slaughtering, packing and shipment of
diseased animals, is awaited of as the
means by which the attainment of the
object for which it was nolninally ere.
ated is most effectively prevented. So
that the people of the country are taxed
to pay inspectors large salaries for i'm
posing diseased meat upon them.
