S.preme Court, Pennsylvania repub-
lican, had not reversed his own opinion,
during the short space OF three weeks,
in the case of the income tax, there
woali have been no deficit in the re-
csipts of the government, and no need
tJr increasing the public debt, and for
i'm posing additional taxes upon those
who would not have been compelled to
pay that particular tax, in order to raise
lae money with which to pay interest,

and protected by the government would
have paid their just share of the gov
crnment's expenses, and that, too, with
out eating one terrapin or drinking one
bottle of champagne the less. Under
the present system Of taxation the poor
people of the country pay the expenses
of the federal government.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is President of the
whole country, but he could have been
neither nominated nor elected without
the votes of the Southern people. And
yet yesterday, when the Loyal Legion
called on him at the national executive
,uausion, they sang Marching through
Georgia" not only with his approval,
but to his conspicuous qualification and
delight, though that song, in any
S ,uthera mans ears, revives bitter
memories of the horde, composed most
ly of hired foreigners, who devastated a
Southern State from one extremity to
the other, whose approach was the sig
nal for women and children to flee as
from savages, whose path was lighted
by burning mills and homes and crops,
aud who left behind them track.

provisions in the section, as reported,

pie homestead exemption of $1,000
worth of real estate and $500 worth of

from the bill of rights the section de-
claring that the right Of suffrage should
not bs abridged on account of race,
color or previous condition, and the
section declaring neither slavery nor
involuntary slavery should exist in the
State except as punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted. An important section rela-
tive to lynchings was introduced. 1t is
proviso in the constitution making it
misdemeanor for any county, State,

"MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA. y
The visit of the Loyal Legion to the
White House yesterday, says a Wash
ington newspaper, was a particularly
interesting incident of the day. The
party, numbering about fifty, were re-
ceived by the President in his private
Office, instead of in the East Room, as
IS the custom with larger and more for
NAL gatherings. After the officers had
been introduced to the President by
Secretary Thurber Mr.. Cleveland was
asked if he had any objection to the
party singing him one of their favorite
songs. He replied that he should be
charmed to hear it, and without more
ado the chorus lifted up their voices in
the ringing strains of Marching
Through Georgia" 1t was ronsing
chorus and made the walls resound as
they have not resounded since the days
of the last spring house cleaning. At
the end the President laughed heartily
and said that he appreciated the song
and the sentiment that prompted it.
He was going in short time to make
trip through the Sonth, he said, and
he was glad to have heard the song be-
fore he started, as it would remain in
bis memory throughout the journey a.
an inspiration from the brave hearts and
hands that had joined in preserving the
integrity OF the greatest single empire
of the world.

the sum of six and q half million of
roubles placed at its disposal for that
purpose. The city of Moscow has for
some time past been busily engaged in
various outdoor works which cannot
be carried out in winter. The mum
cipality has voted half million roubles
toward the enormous expenses of the
celebration. As there is comparatively
small accommodation of a suitable
character for the numerous distinguish
ed visitors in Moscow, the competition
for good houses is very keen, as much
as twenty thousand roubles (ten thous-
and dollars) being offered by one
Embassy for the use of house during
