the war of the rebellion. The bill pass
ed the house on the 29th Of May, ap-
parently after a very short debate. Mr..
Madison and Mr.. Ames are the only
speakers on that day reported in the
annals. Mr. Madison objected 10 this
tax on carriages as unconstitutional.
and as an unconstitutional measure he
would vote against IL.
Mr.. Ames said il was not TO he Won
dered that he coming from so different
A part Of the country. should have a diff
ferent idea OF this tax from the gentle
man who spoke last. In Massachus-
etts this tax had been long known and
there il was called an excise. 1t was
difficult to define whether tax is dir
ect or not. He had satisfied himself
that this was not so. II appears then
| that Mr.. Madison regarded the carriage
bill as unconstitutional and accordingly
voted against IL, although it was TO a
large extent a war measure. Where did
! Mr.. Hamilton stand? At that time he
was secretary of the treasury and 1t
may therefore he assumed without proof
that he favored the legislation. But up
on what ground? He must of course
have come 10 the conclusion that il was
rot a direct tax. Did he agree with
Fisher AmeS. his personal and political
friend. that the tax was an excise? The
evidence is overwhelming that he did.
HAMILTON HAD DOUBTS.

pears to us TO inevitably follow that in

MINISTER REPENTANT.

Avoid Being Sent to

Eau Claire, Wis, May 5.-Harry b.
McMaSter, fully repentant for his be-
tlayal Of trust to the First National
bank is determined to 20 to prison,
while Charles III. Greene, eX-city
treasurer. who was McMaster's part
ner i'll the speculation that ruined
both, is equally determined to raise
money to wipe out his shortage and
thus escape prosecution.
1t is safe to say that nobody IN Eau
Claire wants to see Harry McMaSter
go to Waupun and his friends have
pleaded with his relatives in an Ell
deayor to get him to reconsider his
expressed intention of pleading guilty
and throwing himself on the mercy
of the court. The friends think the
matter could be squared up in some
way and that NCMaSter could avoid
prison. But though utterly broken in
spirit, the young man is reSolute in
what he considers to he his duty.
He feels deeply for his wife and child,
for his invalid mother and for his
father. but the idea seems firmly tiXCu
on his mind that it is his duty to pub
licly acknowledge his guilt and suffer
the penalty of the law

Berlin, May 5.--The demonstrat ton
today against the bill of the delegates
from the various city councils will be
a great affair, having gained i'm
portance by reason of the govern
ment's opposition. The government
has received another rebuff in this
question in the adoption by the lower
house of the Wurtumburg diet of the
socialist motion condemning the anti
revolution bill. Premier Mttnacht de-
clared that the vote on the bill in the
dudeSrath was not binding, and ad-
mitted that he had grave doubts re-
speeding the ACCESSIBILITY Of the meas
ure in the form given it in committee.
This statement is only Sign of the
times, as it is evident throughout Ger
many, apart from Russia. that the
feeling is distinctly against the dras-
tic character of the anti-revolution bill.
Sentences in the Fuechmuehle riot
ing case have aroused Il great deal of
Indignation and are being made CAPT
tai of by the socialist press as show
ing the contrast between the law and
natural justice, one hundred and for
ty-three men being condemned to
terms of Imprisonment, varying from
fourteen days to four months, the
chief sufferer being BurgomaSter Jo-
Seph Stock, who received the heaviest
sentence and fine. The severity of the
punishment is generally condemned by
other classes of newspapers, many of
whom urge Prince Regent Bavaria to
pardon the offenders. The commune
of Understandable is on the verge of
restitution, as prisoners form bulk
of the adult population.
The leading event, socially, has been
the opening of the art exhibition. The
American exhibit was placed separ
ately in two large halls and is univers-
ally conceded to outShine the rest,
even the French section being eclipsed.
