TO TEST THE L..W.
A Suit Has Already Been Commenced
 Against the Income Tax.

Suit Has Already Been Commenced Against the Income Tax.
 New York, Jan. 11-Lewls H. Hyde of
 Orange, N. J., commenced a suit here to-day In the United Statescourt against the Continental Trust company, off which he is shareholder, to test the constltutionalDty of the new income tax MT. Hyde Is represented by Messrs
 Seward, Guthrie, Morawetz and Steele and Joseph H. Choate as his counsel
 It is understood that number of cor porations and individuals largely af- fected by the income tax have combined
 to protect their interests and to con-
 test the constituionality of the act
 Section 3,224 of the revised statutes of the United States provides that no suit for the purpose of restraining the assessment or collection of any tax shall be maintained in any court.
 The supreme court of the United States has decided that a. suit could not be brought to restain the collection of tax merely upon the ground that it was unconstitutional, but 1t has also held in several cases of state tax law, that where there existed other grounds of equitable Jurisdiction a court of equity could properly interefere and grant an injunction restraining the en- forcement of an unconstitutional tax law It Is evidently upon this theory that MT. Hyde is now proceeding. The bill of complaint shows that the trus tees of the company deem it inexpe- dlent to enter into a suit with the fed eral government in this matter and consequently Mir Hyde, as a sharehold- CT, is seeking to restrain the directors from voluntarily paying what he claims to be an unconstitutional tax. Tn this way it seems likely that the courts can pass upon the question of the validity of the income tax and thus avoid the delay and uncertainty of proceedings which would follow a payment under protest.

An Unknown Man Threw VitrioI In His
 Face.
 Waterbury, Jan. 11.-As Frank B. Steele of the Bridgeport Sunday Herald was leaving his office at about p. m, an unknown man threw vitriol in his face, from the effects of which he will be scared for life. Steele had just left his office in LiIley block when a man stepped up and walked alongside. Steele noticed the man make motion and then felt something hot on his face The man ran and Steele started to pursue him, but realizing that it was vitroil he made for an apothecary store nearby, where Drs. Axtelle and Goodenough were summoned The vitriol covered the most of the left side of his face and ran down the out side of the throat and breast, his clothing about the neck being badly burned. His eyes. were uninjured. His assailant is as yet unknown.

stood was unconstitutional unWieldy, unavoidable, and ought not to be ln- | f1icted in it's present shape, either on
 the taxpayers, the executive officers or congress. He conceded the general rule | to be that there ought to be an appro- priation to carry out every existing law duly enacted. Still there might be oc- casions, he said, when 1t was the duty of congress to withhold an appropria- tion to execute law that affected the life and liberty of the citizen or the rights of great political parties. The objections raised to this appropriation required some additional legislation
 In the course of his speech Mir Hill remarked: 1T think that no democrat finds very much consolation in refer ring to the result in New York, Mis- souri or any other state3last fall, do not know of single state where the cause of the party was aided by the in- sertfon of this income tax in the tariff law. If we are to accept the verdict of the people last fall as conclusive our republican friends would argue for the condemnation of the income tax, for the condemnation of the Wilson-Gor- man. n-Bryce-somebody bill, whatever 1t was and for the condemnation of all our legislation of last year, and I think that the less we have to say about u at this time the better.@
 Mr. Hill also said: "The next con gress may repeal this law and l do not suppose the president VIII ntef- pose his veto" .,.t
 MT. Duboise, rep, of Idaho, addressed the senate. He devoted himself to sil- yer. .4.4.-.. -s,,....-
 MT. Quay, rep, of Pennsylvania, moved that the further consideration of the bill be postponed till the trst of February. He spoke strongly against the income tax and said that Washington, Montana and Wyoming would elect senators to fill seats now vacant. It was proper that until those states were fully represented no legis- lation so important as the collection of the income tax should be author ized.
 MT. Quay's motion was defeated yeas i (Quay); nays 42. MT. Hill did not vote.
 MT. Sherman, rep, of Ohio, said that, in the main, he agreed with Mir. Hill but held that refusal by the senate to appropriate money to carry it out would tend to overthrow the prin ciples on which the government is es- tablished and would be particularly wrong in regard to a revenue measure which the senate had no power to orig mate.
 After further discussion a point was made against the Hill amendment that it was general Legislation on an ap- propriation bill, and was sustained by the presiding officer Anjappeal from this ruling was taken by Mr Hill and at that stage of the proceedings the whole matter went over

The End is Far Off.

Haverhill, Mass, Jan. 1.-Two weeks have passed since the great shoe work CTS strike commenced and so far as any indication of surrender of the manufacturers to the demands of the strikers is concerned the end is far off. It has become more and more ap- parent from day to day that the real object of the labor leaders is to bring all factories under the control of the unions, at least so the manufacturers think.
