ton to detail, and for the purpose of
comparison, he went back to the en-
actment Of the income tax during the
civil war. He quoted from decision
IN the Springer case, giving the his
tory of the case and devoting much
attention to it, as he said the defense
had apparently relied upon this more
generally than upon any precedent.
1t is conceded he said, in all cases
from Hylton to Springer, that taxes
on lands are direct taxes, while in
some Of them it is determined that
taxes on rents derived from lands are
indirect taxes. Was there any dis
tinction between tax on land and on
incomes derived from land? What,
in other words, was land but the prof
it on it? The name of tax is unimpor-
tant and the Court has been unable to
see any distinction. He closed by
saying the Court had reached the
conclusion that the tax on rents was
involved
The Chief Justice then took up the
question of taxation of municipal and
State bonds. The decision was also
adverse to this part of the law, as re-
pugnant to the constitution. On other
points the Court was divided, and
therefore no opinion could be given.
Juisice Field read the dissenting
opinion, but his voice was so low it
could not be heard. Justice Field
finished soon before 2 o'clock. He
said: "l'm of the opinion that the
whole law Of 1894 is null and void"
He laid stress upon the fact that the
law does not exempt Judges of the
United States Courts from payment
of the tax. 1t was not right he said
that the Supreme Court should re-
main silent and make 40 protest when
many United States Judges drawing
small salaries would be effected be-
cause of the law. He called attention
to the letter once written by Chief
Justice Chase to the Treasury officials
protesting against the deduction of
the. income tax from the salary of
United States Judges.
Justice Whites dissent was largely
extemporaneous and very long. APP
parantly he favored upholding the
whole law.
Justice Hanlan followed Justice
White in dissenting opinion and the
+ case closed. Nothing was said as to
how the other Justices stood save the
! three who read the dissents.

Information received in Yankton, s. D.,
from London regarding ]. 7. NJ. Pierce's
swindling transactions show that the ag-
gregate British losses may reach the stu
pendous sum of $S,OOO,OOO. A letter
from a London firm of solicitors says that
not a quarter Of the fraudulent transac-
tions have yet come to light. 1t is stated
that the receipts by Pierce at his London
Office were limited only by his ability to
issue bonds and mortgages and other pa
l'er often exceeding 100000 a week, and
1t is alleged in London that he received
no less than $5OO,O 900 during his last week
there. 1t is owing to his gigantic trans
actions that his victims expect to receive
an offer of compromise after the matter
shall have cooled down. To make these
losses known would impair the credit Of
the losers, and also make them an object
OF ridicule, therefore they prefer to bear
their losses in silence. One million four
hundred and four thousand dollars Of

HUSBAND AND WIFE DIE.

D%estitution in a Nebraska Family
Leads to n Double Suicide.
As a result of restitution and their
HELPLESS situation among hundreds of
starving people, John Harris and wife,
living near Paxton, Neb., committed sui
eide with a razor. Mrs. Harris was
found lying on the bed entirely nude, with
her throat cut from ear to eur, n the
%bedclothing saturated with blood. John
Harris, the husband, was found lying on
the floor near the foot of the bed with his
throat likewise cut. The couple had only
moved to their present place a month ago.
The house in which they lived was a sod
dugout, situated seven miles southwest of
Paxton. The surroundings of the place
went to show that the pair were in very
poor circumstances. No motive can be
given for the deed except that the wife
was expecting soon to become n mother
and was on b verge of starvation and
suffering. They were probably too proud
to beg. The following letter was found,
written by the husband in q clear and
steady hand:
"Dear Old Parents-We have decided
to end our lives together. Ida took sick
before daylight and it is now z o'clock.
Ida cut her throat and / cut mine. I
would give the world to see my poor old
father and mother. It seems like a year
since I saw any of my folks"
The country round about Paxton has
produced good crops in times past, and
will undoubtedly do 80 again, but the
failure in 1893 and again in 1894 was al
most complete, and the situation is most
pitiable. Among the different families in
Keith County now in a state of destitu-
ton there IRE between 500 and 600 chill
dren. The commissioners confess their
inability to cope with the situation.

"A glance ut the table will show how
much less the losses of 1894 are than
those of 1893 or ever 1892. When the in
crease in insurable value in the country,
and particularly the decided and general
advances in fire insurance rates, is con-
sldered, it is not strange that the fire in-
surance statements now being published,
should confirm II predictions Of last
month as to liberal profits.
A large portion of the fire loss of the
country is %preventable, but there is a de-
plorable apathy of public sentiment upon
this point. In spite of the fact that this
apathy is responsible for fire loss and re-
sultant expensive insurance, poor or
crooked fire marshals are permitted to be
appointed, political combines" sell in
efficient water works to municipalities, fire
chiefs get a commission on rotten hose
and defective engines, incendiaries IRE
covertly admired, if not applauded, as
slick" electric wires are recklessly in
stalled, and worse than careless insurance
companies insure suspected firebugs and
dangerously constructed property
Fully half the fire loss of the United
States is c%hargeable to the combination of
carelessness and crime, and n proper un-
~derstanding of this fact by the masses
would result in some reform at least.
Who Gun doubt what the effect would be
if the factors which make insurance cost
ly. were given with their respective pro-
portions in detail in the agents bill in
stead of the mere lump sum of the
premium? Surprising for II $40 premium

Were every premium payer to have the
cost of his insurance analysed for him,
just as he was paying his premium, the
needed reduction in fire loss would soon
be brought about by a n of public sem
timent. 1t is wonderful how what might
be called the ~"wrongness of q wrong
stirs the righteous zeal of the populace
when the nerve running from the pocket
to the moral sense is agitated ut it's lower
extremity. If every male citizen in the
United States were this month openly
and specifically subjected to a tax of 81
to make up for the unnecessary fire loss
of 1894 there would be n general move i'll
the direction of reducing the fire waste to
reasonable proportions.
