ture, as nothing will be done until Minis

Friedsrichsruhe. April S.-A deputation
of professors visited Prince Bismarck to-
day and presented to him an address. The
prince in reply said that the distinctions
conferred on him were also intended for
his cO-WOrkerS, with whom, III certain re-
spects, he was on a similar footing. He

blessing his efforts had been crowned
with success.
Montreal, April S.-Martin Costello, of
Montreal and II. j. Griffin. of Buffalo,

Reno, New, April S.-The Gazette
this evening says: Ernest Harris,
melter of the United States branch
mint at Carson and John T. Jones,
assistant melter and refiner, were
suspended this morning. The Gazette
has positive information that the mint
shortage amounts ito about $4,000 and
covers a period of about five years,
running through the terms of two
former superintendent and continu-
ing during the present administra-
ton. The bullion on hand has all
been reassayed to ascertain if the
value stamped on the shoes or bars
Tailed with their true value, but it
did not, Inspector Mason is making
a thorough examination of mint af-
fairs. He found that one deposit con-
tanning about $4,000, one-haE gold,
had been replaced by bars valued at
only $4,000, principally silver. United
States District Attorney Jones, in an
Interview, stated that important ar
rests would soon be made. and that
the announcements of the names
would create a sensation. Civil as
we'll as criminal proceedings will be
instituted against those who are even
remotely connected with the steal. Mr..
Jones said that the government has
a full corps in various departments
at different points procuring the
necessary proof to warrant arrests.
and that Notwithstanding the great
ingenuity of the criminals in their
operations, a complete chain of evil
dence of their guilt has been welded.

Seventh-From the date or that de-
cision to the present time, the authori-
ties of the constitution have agreed
that its affect was TO give a peculiar
significance to the word direct" as
used in the constitution. and it is by
reason CT this peculiar" significance
that it has been settled that an income
tax may be levied by the federal gov
eminent.
EighthITfhe significance attached to
the word direct in the constitution
by this court nearly hundred years
ago was acquiesced in and adopted by
the other departments of the govern
men!.
Ninth-From 1861 to 1868 many acts
were passed by Congress levying an
income tax. These acts imposed a tax
upon incomes from every source. They
were passed by overwhelming majori-
ties and their enactment demonstrates
the concensus of opinion in regard to

Tenth-Every case in the lower
courts involving the validity of these
laws which can be found was decided
in their favor.
Justice White then reviews each of the
previous decisions of the supreme
court in similar tax cases and adds:
These repeated decisions, it seems to
me, remove the case from the domain
of controversy. The decree here rem
dered does not overrule these cases
directly, but in my opinion, it does so
by indirection.
The decision cited here determines
not only that a general income tax is
constitutional without apportionment
as being an indirect tax, but that the
inclusion therein of the rentals of real
estate does not make it direct.
The opinion of the court today in
holding that the inclusion of the rent
ais of land in income tax renders
the tax direct quod hoe, not only re-
verses the decisions 1 have cited but
involves, 1t seems to me, contradic-
ton in terms. If the income tax, as
such, levied on an individual accord
ing to his income is not a direct tax,
how can it be said that the inclusion
therein of rentals derived from real
estate makes it a direct tax pro tanto?
The question is not, according to my
view whether such inclusion affects
real estate, but whether the tax thus
levied is a direct tax thereon. within
the meaning of the constitution.
According to the very words of the
statute this tax is direct. In no sense
is it a tax on land as such. 1t places
no burdens on real estate; if it is not
rented or if the rent is not collected,
or if the owner occupies his land him
self, it puts no direct burden on land
under any circumstances, for it allows
the deduction from the income derived
from land and all other sources, of
$4,000 as well as all expenses incurred
IN the transaction of business. The
fallacy of the opinion, as l see it, lies
in the assumption that the constitution
forbids an indirect taxation of land by
the federal government without appor-
tionment among the states. In my
judgment the position here assumed is
full of danger to our institutions. The
august power lodged in this court of
passing upon the constitutionality of
acts of Congress has always been dis
creetly and carefully exercised. ! be-
Ieve this is the first case in our his
