allowed to put second line of
pipe across the bridge, to prevent
the cutting off of the supply of
water to the north side of the city,
in case an accident happens to the
present line Of pipe, as it did on
Sunday. Councilman Miles OBJ
jected and said that the water
company were using the insurance
board to further their designs,
and that he thought it came in
bad grace from the insurance
companies to ask it, just after
they had raised the insurance

The petition was finally referred to

BROOKLYN. Jan. l1.--As yet there has
been no tieup Of the trolley lines ia Brook

that direction. The executive board Of

to the same matter, but met with the
same setback.

important meeting being that composed

I'm Attnel,s one Income ~.

WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-THE income tax
came up for considerable discussion in the
senate n the course of the debate on the
urgency deficiency bill, which contains a
provision for carrying the law into opera
tion.
Mr.. Hill IN. W offered an amendment
designed to afford an opportunity to con-
test the constitutionality Of the act, upon
which he spoke briefly.
The amendment offered by Mr. Hill was
that nothing shall preclude any court Of
the United States having jurisdiction Of
the parties from considering and deter
mining as to the constitutionality of the
income tax law whenovor. by any proceed
ing which shall have been commenced or
be pending in such courts, such questions
shall be presented.
Mr.. Quay briefly advocated the amend
ment and suggested that the only thing
that now prevented the steps allowed by
the amendment was section 1924 Of the
Revised Statutes, which prohibits the
maintaining by any court Of a suit to re-
strain the collection of a tax
Mr. Hill CDem., n. Y.) was prepared to
discuss the amendment only partially
One way, he said TO test the constitution
ality Of the tax would be when an officer
of the government makes the assessment
to restrain its collection by suit for per-
manent injunction. Another way was
to wait till the tax had been imposed and
collected and then bring suit
To Ask a Permanent Injunction.
The easiest and best method of raising
the question which was involved in the
law would be 10y a suit for permanent in
junction, which could be heard immedi-
ately, appealed by either side and decided
by the supreme court. Mr. Hill asserted
that there was "a we'll founded Judgment
on the part of the best legal talent in this
country that the law is unconstitutional
wholly or partly, and the best lawyers had
advised their clients that the law was to
Ice resisted.
Mr. Potter Pop, Kan.) moved to lay
the amendment on the table.
Mr.. Cockrell suggested that the only
convention which had inserted a plank
in its platform against the income tax
was that Of the state represented by the
senator from New York and that had not
been carried by the people
This led Mr. Hill to reply that the same
convention referred 70 by the senator also
indorsed the tariff bill for which the sen
ator had labored and voted. The motion

temporarily withdrew the amendment 81
that other amendments might be eonsid

Mr.. Quay (Pa.) gave notice Of several
amendments he intended to offer to tn,
bill-one to repeal the income tax and an
other to insert the Mckinley tariff aci
and the woolen schedule.
Mr. Cahrey (Ia.) commenced his speeol

Local option = Failure.

Local option has been failure wher
ever it has been tried There is no more
elaring example OF this than Cecil
county, Maryland, which a51olns Della
ware on the west
While local option prevailed there the
county was veritable hot bed Of speak
easies. Elkton, Chesapeake City and
other places showed Increased drunken
ness. In some instances these speak
easIes were run openly and punishment
of their proprietors seemed only to in
crease their number. Finslly, the futillty
OF attempting to check the traffic became
SO apparent that the county, by popular
vote, returned to the license system, AT
the last election it decided to renew the
local option experiment, but with little
hope Of better success.
SO long as men crave intoxicants they
will find means to satisfy that craving.
Legislative enactment cannot prevent
1t.
In our opinion 1t is better to have q
license system which turns into our
state treasury thousands Of dollars every
year instead Of spsak- easy system,
which, instead Of being source Of
revenue, would cost our counties thous-
ands OF dollars In the way Of costs OF
prosecution which would have no perma
nent effect
We think that our present General
Assembly will make a grave error If II
materially amends the laws which now
govern the liquor traffic in Delaware.

WAsHINcToN, jan 11.--Tho meeting OF
the senate committee on finance was hold,
but was entirely devoid of results The
Republican members made the point that
talk was Of comparatively little value as
long as there was no legislative PROPOSE
tion before them The Democrats ex-
planned that they had considered it waste
Of time to formulate a bill until there
should be some comparison Of notes
among all the committee members and an
intimation on the part Of che Republicans
as well as Of tho Democrats. as to what
they would agree to- To this It was re-
piled that the Republicans felt that the
responsibility did not rest with them.
The committee was informed during
the meeting that Senator Vest had bill
In contemplation, and there was partial
promise that it would be completed in
time TO be introduced in the senate for the
use Of the committee Saturday.
There was also an incidental reference
to the revenue necessity Of the govern
ment, but the Democrats did not indicate
any willingness to Interfere with the tariff
at the present time, expressing the opin-
ion that there was-no immediate prospect
Of a deficit
1t is understood that Dir Vest has
changed his plans with reference to the
details Of his BILL and that his present
purpose is to provide for the redemption
Of all greenbacks and treasury notes by

Of the government so long as the gold re-
serve does not fall below 500, 600, 600,
