case.
~ The taxes on real estate belong to
the class of direct taxes, and that the taxes

is the incident of its ownership, belong to
the same class.

court has this question been adjudicated
to the contrary of the conclusions now
announced.
80. That so much of the act of Aug. l5
1894, as attempts to impose tax upon the
rent or income Of real estate without APP
portionment Is invalid.
"The court Is further of the opinion
that the act Of Aug. 10, 1894, is invalid so
far as it attempts to levy a tax upon the
income derived from municipal bonds.
As a municipal corporation is the repre-
sentative of the state and one of the in
strumentalities of the state government
the property and revenues of municipal
corporations are not subjects of federal
taxation, nor Is the income derived from
state, county and municipal securities
since taxation on the interest thercfrom
operates on the power to borrow before 1t

on the contract and therefore such tax
Is tax on the power of the states and

and consequently repugnant to the con-
stitution.
"Upon each of the other petitions ar
gued at the bar, to wit: First, as to
whether the void provisions as to rents
and incomes from real estate invalidates
the whole act; second, whether as to the
income from personal property as such
the act is unconstitutional as laying di-
rect taxes; third, whether any part of
the tax, If not considered as direct tax,
is invalid for want of uniformity on
either of the grounds suggested, the JUS
tices who heard the arguments are equal
ly divided, and therefore no opinion is ex-
pressed"

The New York health auth critics are getting right after the dealers for adul- terating milk, and the courts are touch ing them up with fines and imprison- ment. Dr Edward W. Martin, chief chemist to the Board of Health, in speak ing on the situation, says: "If the courts continue to support us in the fight we will soon put stop to the adulteration of milk in this city. Under the old court regime our efforts were frustrated by the small fines imposed. We arrested deal- CTS for milk adulteration day after day, and they escaped with fine of $25, or about half their profits from one days adulteration, and of course they went back and continued their profitable but dishonest business. Going to prison is very different matter, however, and I be- lieve that after we get one or two con- victions of this sort the other dealers will make up their minds that there is more profit in selling pure milk. We need, however, much larger force to proper ly cover the field. There are only five inspectors to cover the 30 districts into which the city is divided, and there are about 1000 places where milk is sold. One inspector can get around to about $50 places each week, so Ir takes a full month to inspect them all. The skim ming of milk by farmers also, before it is sent to the market, is an evil on which we have to keep close eye, and we will vigorously prosecute all offenders in this respect"

It seems to be a well authenticated report that man notorious in Connecti- cut as connected with houses of i'll fame has settled, or is about to, in Taunton district, to once more establish a resort there which lovers of good order and morals do not want and will not have. The public have not forgotten the good work of one of it's citizens, who, in few well directed movements, about a year ago, routed this infamous business, and caused the leaders to flee the town, bag and baggage. There has been quiet in that locality since which had not been known for years. The best elements there and throughout the town have re- joiced, and consequently they view this latest attempt to establish den of infa- my in our midst with feeling of dis gust and sorrow. This latest Imp of Darkness is said to be a cunning fox. He wants to run road house of unob- ectionable CD type. Just as if there could be an unobiectable place where morality and decency were not partners. We do not know, but we venture the remark that if this, or any other, man-man did we say-attempts to establish a house of ill fame here, he will regret it.

There have been so many bogus dis patches in the daily papers concerning
 the new Hawaii republic, that straight forward statement will be read with in- terest. William w. Hall, Hawaiian business man has been at Springfield, Mass, where he was found out by a re- porter of the Springfield Republican. In the course of our interview, MT Hall went on to say: The coun- try is in an entirely peaceful condition politically and quite prosperous mater ially. The stories of disturbances and upsprings which appear periodically in American papers, originated us- ually in San Francisco, and he believed that they were circulated by persons who had been banished from Hawaii or forced to leave for some other reason. The people are very we'll contented with the government as it is administered,
 and the principles and practice of that government are almost identical with the United States. MT Hall said it was quite inaccurate to term the government an oligarchy. The controlling class, he says, are, it is true, the wealthy, and, in a sense, aristocratic citizens; but their ideas of government are quite demo- cratic, and Hawaii, as far as it's state affairs are concerned, is a veritable re- public. Queen Liliuokalani is still a prisoner in what was called the "palace'' in her reign, but which is now the ad- ministration house. She is treated kind ly but is kept under strict surveillance. She has apartments in the building but her movements are closely watched. The president and other officials of the administration (many of them identical in name and functions with the federal officials of this eountry) have their offices in the same building. She has not had what could properly be called follow ing since the first uprising, and in the last rebellion her native supporters were mainly from the ranks of those who es- poused her cause more because they re- spected her blood than because they sympathized with her methods. The government maintains standing army, we'll drilled and well equipped and is ready to put down any insurrection. MT Hall thinks that matters will run along smoothly from now on, and while he does not think that annexation is wise at present, he thinks that this step will be taken within comparatively few years.

RESOLUTION PASSED AND THEN REsCINp.

ED.
 Another chapter has been added to Newtown's school troubles. As has been noted ln these columns, Chairman Brew advertised meeting of the school board Tor Friday, August 23, for the examina- tion of teachers. Another meeting for the same purpose was held on Saturday. Rev 0. o. Wright, who was away at the time of the previous meeting, was pres- ent. MT Wright questioned Messrs Cor bett and Brew as to whether they had been hired to teach at the Pohtatuck and Sandy Hook schools, as under the new law they would be disqualified if this was the fact. A rather spirited conversation followed. This was in the morninp. After dinner Mir Corbett introduced a re- solution to the effect that as Rev o. O. Wright had refused to act as long as cer- tain persons remained members of the board, that his place be declared vacant. The resolution also named Charles Fl, Northrop as his successor.
 The vote on the question was a tie. Messrs Corbett and Northrop supporting It and Messrs Johnson and Beers voting in the negative. Mr Brew dissolved the tie by voting in the affirmative. On Mon- day another meeting was held. Rev MT Wright appeared and acted with the board. Sometime during the afternoon. MT Corbett called for the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. MrWright stated that he hadn't resigned and he didn't intend to. A motion was finally passed that the vote of Saturday be ex. punged from the records. It was an- nounced in the meeting on Monday that c. Il. Northrop had declined to act, and. one of the gentlemen who voted against the resolution remarked that he honored him for his good sense. Will not this latest action, to unbiased minds, appear to be wholly indefensible?
