NO DODCINC TAX.
Instructions Sent Out to As

Are Not Made.
MANY IGNORED THE LAW.
Capitalists Evidently Hope
That 1t Will Be Declared
Unconstitutional.
AN IMPROVED CROP REPORT
A Conference Of Commercial
Bodies Makes Recommend
ations for Revision.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The fol-
lowing instructions were today sent
to all internal revenue collectors:
"In case of incorrect income tax
returns now filed in your office, you
will notify the persons who filed such
returns that they must appear with
in a reasonable time, specifying the
date and place for appearance, and
correct or explain said returns, and
that on their failure to appear and
make said corrections you will cor
rect and increase the amount of
such returns, stating the particular
corrections which shall be made and
the amounts by which said returns
will be increased. Where persons
and corporations liable to make re-
turn have neglected or refused to
make return, and where in your opin-
ion false or fraudulent returns have
been filed, you will give notice on
form 369 to delinquents, and to those
who made such false or fraudulent
returns to appear and show cause
why penalties shall not be assessed
against them. All returns made by
tax payers for 1894, except such as
are delayed by reason of appeals,
must be completed and forwarded
to this Office not later than the 18th
day of May next"
Although no official sta tements of
the facts would be given out today
MI hi 10 ish hn1 40 thn
returns received today show almost
conclusively that a large number
of persons in all parts of the country
who are subject to the income tax
have not made any return of their
incomes. The proportion of these
TO the whole number liable to the tax
is by some placed as high as 10 per
cent. This state of things is some
thing of surprise to the officials,
although it was expected that the di-
vision of the supreme court on the
constitutionality Of the tax as a
whole would have the effect of dis
crediting it with a large number of
the tax payers who would take the
risk of paying a so per cent penalty
rather than make their returns.
This assumption has been proven
ito have been correct, and the re-
suit must necessarily be an assess
ment of the penalty in a large num-
Der of cases, as the officials no doubt
will strictly enforce the act so long
as it remains the law of the land.
No tg'lreS of anV value a c tO rat,,rDc

an outlaw who falls in love with a
nobleman's daughter, and in a dis
guise conducts his love affair in the
kings own court, while a reward is
out for the outlaws head. Mr.. Neil
son, it seems, has managed to escape
from convention in a number of in

INVULN NERABLE.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
You would never imagine that the
human stomach was more invulnera BILE
to alcohol than an oyster can, would
you?" said r. A. Carter, of Louis
vile, Ky, to number of friends at
the Planters. The friends thoroughly
agreed that their imagination would
never run thus far, and the question
proceeded: "In the whisky concern
which I represent there is employed
an old darky. suppose he is well ad-
vanced in the seventies.
The firm is controlled by q typical
Southern gentleman, who owned, be-
fore the war, among other slaves, the
negro referred to. Therefore the negro
takes to himself all the privileges of
the favored servitor. Among these is
one not allowed to any other employe.

to the dregs before night arrives.
Every week he is compelled to get a

is completely burned through by the

with his drinking. Several doctors

there are times in the career of
parties, as of armies, when audac-

otic, despondent and betrayed hosts
Of the party needed nothing SO much
as rallying cry for a yet more ad-
vanced movement. So, without
consulting the Sun, they sent out
their suggestion and are satisfied
with the response. It assures them
that they did not misjudge the feel 4
ings and spirit of the great rank
and file of the party.
If they had stopped, however, to
think that some precedent was need
ed for their audacious action, they
might have found one that went
farther than they proposed to go
in the action of the Sun Of many
spots, in 1884 That year the Demo-
Gratis had named Cleveland, who, as
governor, had offended the Sun by
declining a place in his military
family for a scion of the Sun. That
paper became profoundly impressed
with the conviction that party
that could make such a nomination
thus, in measure, approving the
affront to the Sun-waS in a very
bad condition, one that could not be
worse. And so the Sun, solicitous
then as ever for the triumph of the
cause of Democracy, started it's own

that the preservation Of the country
depended on the election of one
Benjamin, whose surname was But
Ter, and whose political coat was as
varied in it's colors as was that coat
of the brother of that other Benja-
min of biblical times.
We recall now the fervor and heat
Of the Sun Of that memorable cam
paign. How it larruped the Demo-
Gratis who refused to follow it off.
How it scintillated with laudations
of its own Benjamin. How confident
ly it predicted his triumphant cleo
ton, and with it the success of it's
preservative movement. And per-
haps the Sun has forgotten tive
remember that Its candidate re-
ceived not Single electoral vote,
and but 1886 of the 10000 900 votes
poEled. But 1900 voters in his
own state were silly enough to enlist
in the movement championed by the
Sun. We do not refer to this painful
incident in the career, or rather the
evolution, of the Sun for any other
purpose than to vindicate it as an
authority, with a large experience
back of it, on free political move
ments.
