TIE iNconE FAX DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme
Court .pf. the United States declar.
ing, unconstitutional the recently
enacted income tax lava legisla'
tive measure which a large major
ty of the people looked upon with
great satisfaction-was announced
last Monday and may have far.
reaching consequences.
After the decision of a few week 8
ago declaring invalid those sections
of the law which taxed incomes
from rents and State, county. and
municipal bonds, we believe that
the present decision, which rem
ders the entire law void, will be
welcomed by the people. The
first decision exempted from taxa
ton landed proprietors and a large
class of bondholders, the very
men the law designed to
reach; and left the burden of the
tax on the professions, vacations
or employments, thus transforming
what was intended to be tax on
capital into a tax on industry. If
the law failed of its primary pur-
poses and produced results not in
tended by its trainers, it was right
fully wiped off the statute books.
We regret that the law could
not standin its entirety 1t was a
wise and just law, lifting part of
the burden Of taxation from CON
sumption and placing it on capital,
which was much better able to
bear it.
The Democratic party, which
framed and passed the law, should
now take up the matter and advo-
cate the adoption of constitution
al amendment permitting the levy
ing of an equitable income tex.

Epi4oA SrAR.-
II. This being election year, It once
more devoIyes on the part OF the
people to select suitable men to
administer the government Of our
commonwealth. Stats and county
officers are to be chosen fora tam
OF four years, upon whose services
will depend the public good as well
as the enjoyment ofpersonal rights
and privileges in domestic, social
and religious life.
The design OF civil government
is the promotion Of peace and good
order among all and the admins
tration of justice and equity to- all
for general security and happiness.
In order to insure these ends, wise
men must be chosen to enact and
enforce our laws. We use the term
good, in its broadest sense, as in
elusive OF all sobriety, chastity and
honesty.
We claim that our government
is founded on Bible principles and
that we have a christian civiliza-
ton; therefore it is becoming that
our law makers and law admins
traitors be men of good morals and
sound christian belief.
In this country no man is worthy
or capable of filling any officel
whether Legislative, judicial or ex-
ecutive, who is disbeliever of the
Holy Scriptures or who is addict.
ed to immoral practices, such as
profanity, drunkenness. gambling,
sabbath breaking, RIGHTEOUSNESS,
revealing, &c. He that is lawless
himself is not competent to govern
others. In order to obtain respect
for the Office that he holds and the
law he administers, a Judge or eX-
ecutive must be himself a living
example of his own rulings. We
would in no wise depreciate the
Importance of loyalty to political
principles in the selection of &c
bearers for State or county, but in
every case the moral worth and in
tellectual qualification of the can
dldate should have precedence in
the consideration. There are, in
the Democratic party, enough men
of unimpeachable character and
orthodox religious views to put in
all places of official honor and
trust without drawing from the
ranks of vice, dissipation and skep-
ticism.
"Thou shalt provide, out Of all
the people, able men such as fear
God, men of truth, hating covet-
BUSINESS, and place such over them
to be rulers. Exodus 1921.
Righteousness exalteth a nation,
but sin, is reproach to
any people. Proverbs 1894.
Let every voter read, also, Ro-
mans - II; Timothy IA, and
vote as he prays. II I'll who claim
to be christians in character or be-
lief will thus act in the coming
elections we Will elect none but
good men and consequently will
have good legislation and good
administration of government.

There docs net appear to be any
doubt that. with the one-sided dis
cussioHswe have had q considefa.
bic a,ajosity OF the. Democrats Of
Mississippi favor the free coinage
Of silver. One thing We are glad to
note, however, is that the rancor -oi
feeling appears to have abated in
a large measure. That is right, il
shows that the Democrats are CO.
ing to get together on a platform
on which all can stand. We, for
one, rejoice at this turn Of affairs.
The conflicting elements of the
Democracy are so widely apart in
their views that unless they do get
together on a common ground, the
party will be already whipped
when it enters the next national
campaign.
There should be tolerance, each
side according honesty of pur-
pose to the other. Democrats
can differ with the President
without calling him a traitor or a
scoundrel; Democrats can oppose
free coinage without calling its ad-
vocates rogues or idiots, The
fact is that both sides possess
strong arguments and large ele-
ments of truth. A full presenta-
ton of either side is convincing to
the average mind, This being the
case, men should not form hastv
conclusions nor pass harsh criti-
cisms; but should remember that
we are all Democrats, equally in
terested in the prosperity and f.
solidity Of this great ma
ton. Let the question be fully dis
Cussed but in an amicable spirit,
and each side will see how much
reasonableness there is in the argu-
ment Of the other. 1t is a great
the solution of which re-
quires great study and thought.
The greatest minds and the great
est patriots of the day differ about
it. Such being the case and so
much depending on proper set
Element of the matter, common
sense dictates that passion
should play no part in the discus
sion.
II a spirit of justice and moder-
alton prevails, we are confident
that middle ground will be found
and the question be settled in
that will rebound to the
honor and glory of our great Re-
public.

Hele was arrested yesterday at his

Mrs, Hele, when asked why she had
not made complaint sooner, said her

JEFFERSON M. CLOUGH REFUSES A
TEMPTING OFFER FROM TIE
CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
His Health Was Too Poor to Per-
nit Attention to Business. A
Great Sufferer for Many
Years, but Has Now

From the Springfield, Mass, Union.
There isn't a gun manufacturer in
the United States who does not know
Jefferson M. Clough, and why? Be
cause he has been intimately associat-
ed all his life with the development Of
the two best American rifles, the REM
ington and Winchester. For years he
was Superintendent of the E. Rem
ington q Sons great factory at Hon.
N. Y. After leaving there he refused
a tempting offer of the Chinese govern
ment to go to China to superintend
their government factories,-and ac-
cepted instead the superintendency of
the Winchester-Arms Co., at New Ha-
ven, at a salary of $500 a year.
1t was after this long term of active
labor as a business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further serv-
ice by the embargo which rheumatism
had laid upon him, and resigned his
position more than two years ago. and
returned to Belchertown, Mass, where
he now lives and owns the Phelps
farm, a retired spot, where he has five
hundred acres Of land
Being a man of means he did not
spare the cost, and was treated by
leading physicians and by baths at
celebrated springs, without receiving
any benefit worth notice. During the
summer of 1893 and the winter of 1894
Mr.. Clough was confined to his house
In -Belchertown, being unable to rise
from MS bed without assistance. and
suffering continually with acute pains
and with no taste or desire for food.
nor was he able to obtain sufficient
sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first of March, 1894. and
continued to do so until the first part of
September following. The first effect
noticed was better appetite, and he
began to note more ability to help him
self OFF the bed and to be better gener-
ally Last August $3.50 he was able
TO go alone to his summer residence
and farm of 163 acres on Grenadier
Island, among the Thousand Islands
IN the river st. Lawrence, where from
the highest land of his farm he com
mands view for IS miles down the
river, and 60 of the Thousand Islands
can be seen.
instead of being confined to his bed
Mr.. Clough is now and has been for
some time able to be about the farm
to direct the men employed there. and
ne is thankful for what DR.. Williams
PINK Pills have done for him.
Ihese pills are manufactured by the
Dr. Williams Medicine Companv
schenectady, N. Y, and are sold oniv
In boxes bearing the firms trade mari,
and wrapper, at so cents a box. or siv
boxes for $3.50, and are never sold in

1t was expected that the house would
adjourn over to o'clock Monday after
noon, but at the usual hour of adjourn
ment no time was set, so business will
be resumed at 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing, if a quorum is present.
Speculation is still rife as to the
probable outcome of the attempt to i'm
peach Judge Ives, and the opinion is
gaining ground that the house will not
report articles of impeachment Hon.
John l.. Gibbs is expected to lead the
opposition to Impeachment, and will
take the ground that aside from the
question of the cost, the actual con-
ditions, as shown in the evidence, do
not justify Impeachment. That Judge
Ives was to some extent partisan and
indiscreet is admitted, but the oppo-
nents of Impeachment contend that
there is not sufficient evidence of par
TALLY or crime to justify the outlay of
$4,000 or $4,000 in prosecuting the
charges against him before long ses-
sion of the senate. The hearing of the

Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, S. D., April 6.-At a
meeting of the A. o. u. w. lodge here
last night a resolution was adopted
that the grand lodge officers be noti-
fled that this lodge had reconsidered
its vote asking that the grand lodge
session be not held, and now ask that
the grand lodge session be held. The
resolution was brought up on account
of the money being only loan to
needy members, and subordinate
lodges being responsible to the grand
lodge for money loaned, and also on
account of its being already too late
to do ANY good. 1t was the sense of
the meeting that the relief committee
ought to reconsider it's vote in refer
ence to the grand lodge session, in
view of the fact that this matter is
to go into the courts, and that before
it is decided it will be too late to do
any good.
