NO DECISION.
Income Tax Constitutionality Not
Passed On-S Supreme Court JUS
tees Cannot Agree.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1.-Thf
| fact thai the United States supreme
Cont, WHOM &c ssro out decisions to-
day, did not pass upon the constitu-
tionality of the income tax law caused
but little surprise to people on the
inside here.
1t has been known FOR the past two
weeks that there was a serious disa-
greement among Justices of the Su-
preme Court on this question, and
that even after half a dozen c~onsulta-
ton they were unable to agree.
Fuller, Brewer and White are in
favor of declaring the law unconsti-
tutional, while the remaining five
members are said to be opposed to it
1t is thought that there is a posi-
bility of winning ov'er two members
to the support for the tax, and forthis
reason agreement has been reached
that no decision shall be made unit
the first Monday in May.
By that time it is thought that the
WV "dhCIIAS uIOLAlpSAS Will z WV
over to support the constitutionality
of the tax.
1t is Il question which vitality inter
ests the Administration, for with th'
failure of the income tax the Treasur.
finds its revenues curtailed of $50, 900,
900, the amount which it was estimat
ed would be derived from that source
Conservative estimates place the de
ficit for the fiscal year at S25, 000, 900
even if the income tax is collected
Failing in its collection Mr.. Carlisle
would find his receipts of revenue a
least s55 600, 600 short of his Garlic
expectations.
So it will be seen that should thu
court decide against the legality o
the income tax law Mr.. CLEVELAND
may find it necessary to again hav'
Congress on his hands. He woult
doubtless think it advisable to cal
the Fifty-fourth Congress in extri
session and lay before that Republi
can body the situation of the countr.
and ask it to provide for raising rev
enues necessary to meet the Govern
ment's expenses.

HORSE MEAT FOR EUROPE.
New Line of Industry for the Packer:
OF This Country.

WASHINGTON, T.. c., April l. IN
view of the closing of German MA
kets to American cattle there is
another direction toward whice Amer
lean packers might well turn ir at
t%ention, and that is the preparation
and sale of horse meat. The above is
the suggestion made by United States
Consul E. W. TIngie at Brunswick,
Germany, in 4 report IN large German
cities the consumption Of horse meat
is almost az great as that Of beef and
mutton, and it is growing in the
smaller towns. Of course the Gus
toners are exclusively Of the poorer
classes, but they compose ~nfne-tenths
of the consumers of the country, and
the meat is sold for : cents a pound
or against beef at from Is to u cents.
The Consul sets out reasons TO prove
that horse meat is quite as good as
beef. He says the demand has in
creased 40 rapidly in Germany that it
is difficult 20 meet il, and whereas
butchers formerly paid from s. to $40
for a wOrn~out horse For slaughter
they now pay 81 and so, and prices
are rising. The Consul sees here q
great opportunity for American pack
era. He says the horse supply IA
America - practically fHexhsaseibie;
they a be raised in the West cheap
81 than cattle and are more easily
shipped. TAe rstat cannot be canned,
but It can 5e furnished saFted or
smoked "a we'll "a fresh, Just ~ it is
used in Germany The report toz4ehes
upon the assopislSfnglY rapid djs4tse Of
horses ia America consequent upon
the introduction Of the trolley ear
when bas made horse raising in tbe
West uBpFoftabie and Hrges that tbs
ranehmen may find relief by raising
horses tor food; the pFejadice against
the m&at IN Amsrjca being no good
reason Why he should not profit by the
different state of things in another

They Will Be Hung
THE LIVES OF THE TAYLOR BOYS
IN THE BALANCE AT CAR
ROLLTON, MO.
If the Jury Fails to Agree a Mob
Will String Them Up -Intense
Excitement at C~arrollton.

AT the time of going to press there
is intense excitement ut C~arrollton,
Mo. The jury took the cast of State
of Missouri against the Taylor broth
ers for the murder of the Meeks fam
lily at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning.
At about noon the report was circu-
lated that the jury stood 10 to , for
conviction and that there would be a
hung jury. This report became cir
culated throughout the county and a
large crowd gathered. The feeling
| seemed to be that if the jury failed to
agree that the Taylors would be taken
out and promptly hung.
A later telegram from Carrollton
says that the report that the jury had
hung and that 10 were for conviction
and two for acquittal was a mere rumoi
| without any foundation and that there
had been no report from the jury room
at all. Feeling is running high and the
party who wired the LEDGER late
yesterday was of the opinion that the
Taylors will be hung either by law OF

make a fire for fear of burning the

shaWls stuffed in, which the teacher
has substituted for glass, and cracks in
the floor large enough that bare foot
boys can stick their toes through. The
yard standing in water would suggest
a splendid place to raise ducks. And
yet, this place is where our boys are
supposed to get their start to the
Houses of Representatives and Senate.

THERE will be no issue of the
Mexico Argus this week. Mr.. Charles
Day, who has been the editor and
proprietor of this paper since its
foundation, on account of lack OF
patronage concluded to suspend pub
LEGATION and last week made arrange
ments with the Mexico LEDGER to fill
out the unexpired terms of its paid-up
subscribers. Since that time Mr.. Day
has sold the paper to Republicans OF
this city and it will be edited by Pro-
fessor Major, one of the teachers of
the Mexico Public Schools. Prof.
Major will edit the paper and teach
school both until the Public School
closes, after which time he will devote
his entire time to the paper. There
will be no issue Of the paper this
week, but it will come out next week
under the new management. Charley
Day made a noble fight to continue
the publication of the Argus, but
came to the conclusion that a news
paper could not be run without pa
tronage. The receipts did not near
meet the expenses, and for that
reason he stopped the paper. He viii
likely resume his place az postal
clerk on the railroad. He is a clever
and e~nterprising young man and the
LEDGER wishes him much prosperity.
Prof. Major is well known TO the
readers of the LEDGER, having been
connected with the Public Schools OF
Mexico for some time. He is a genial
gentleman and we welcome him into
the newspaper business and trust that
he will meet with encouragement and
put the Argus on a paying basis.
