AN UNHAPPY ATTACK.
"Pastime" in Sunday News.

'paStl1ne III SUNDAY news.
Anna Dickinson did not add any lustre
to her intellectual brlliancy by her cruel,
II not brutal, verbal assault on Major War;
rem last Monday. The latter was at no
time unprofess!onally severe in his exam
ination of the plaintiff He made no bids
for gallery applause and INDUCED in no un-
seemly animadversions no matter how
tempting such a course might be at
stages of the, somewhat, sensational trial.
His manner was earnest ana his questions
as dignitied as the nature of the case could
possibly admit. Her superior intelligence
ought to have told her that he was acting
the part of a lawyer and was doing his
duty to the defendants just as he would to
the plaintiff were the situation changed.
She fell into the same error that ignorant
litigants do who feel that to insult an at
torney Is to gain favor with the jury and
win popular approval. Surely Major War
rem was not to blame because she had been
an inmate of an asylum. 1t was his duty
to examine her as to the treatment she
received while there and of which she SO
bitterly complained. In his doing this
firmly yet gentlemanly. she was not in the
slightest degree justified in attempting
to humillate him. 1t can be accounted for
only upon the assumption of malice. Her
fling was deliberate and prcmeditated.
She was awaiting an opportunity to slur
and offend him. This was too apparent to
permit any other inference. She seemed
to have solicited information that would
allow her to make the attack she did She
and her counsel acted very injudiciously.
They might have known that such an in
suit would prove Intellectual Her coun-
sell however, may not have been aware
Of 1t. 1t Is needless to say that her thrust
was foundationless in reality and only the
figment of a malicious Imagination 10
matter whether she coined 1t or was told.

GETTING WORSE.

From the Washington Post
The predlcament of the income tax law
does not improve under inspection. As
matter of fact, the calam.tous conse-
quences of the supreme courts indecision
multiply apace. The law has been dis
credited. The individual has been invited
to resist its execution. And yet the mil
chinery of inquisition still stands and all
forces of mischief and veXation are left
in unrestricted activity. The situation,
bad as is was originally, has been aggra-
waited infinitely by the action or, rather,
inactlon of the supreme court. Here is an
odious and abominable law, the formula
ton of vicious idea, the expression Of an
insolent and hateful prejudice and this
law is now referred to the people, discrei-
tied by the highest court in the land and
robbed of the one poor merit 1t ever pos
sessed-that of technical legitimacy. AL
ready despised as the base fruit of
surrender to the rabble; already resented
and denounced as a vicious and wanton
attack upon thrift, industry, and private
worth; it is handed back to the classes
against whom 1t discriminates and for
whose persecution it was designed, with
the comment that half of it Is certainly en-
titled to contempt, and with the plain sug-
gestion that the rest of 1t is no better. If,
he must be some citizen too poor to un-
dertake a contest-some man depending
upon his own ardent effort for slender
recompense and willing to submit to in
justice rather than enter upon q contest
involving great expense. The rich will
fight. Corporations must fight, because no
fiduciary agent can afford, after this, TO
pay out the money of others save under
compulsion. Executors, guardians, trus-
tees, all holding a similar relation of trust
and responsibilty-these are compelled 10
resist. They would not be safe other
wise. The law Is tainted with suspicion
and discredit, and they would be recreant
to their trust If they neglected to chal-
lenge and contest 1t. And see what crop
of litigation, what delay, confusion and
uncertainty must ensue! A decision in
favor Of the contestant by the highest
court of any state would have the effect
of indefinitely suspending the operation of
the law. The supreme court as at present
constituted could not reverse such a de-
cision, because that court Is now evenly
divided against itself. Thus the rich will
escape altogether. those of narrow means
will pay rather than incur the cost of liti-
cation, the citizens of one state will be
protected by their courts, and the citi-
zens of other states delivered over to
rapine and spoiaton under the forms of
law. Discrimination, inequality, injustice,
oppression--here is the vile crop the coun-
try Is to gether from the seeds of crazy
Populism and ignorant class prejudice,
fertliZed by demagogy and nourished by
the Democratic party.

The discussion Of cremation has been
reopened by a decision of the grand
master of the Masonic order in this
state that cremation is not Christian
burial" This utterance, to be sure, is
somewhat delphic, inasmuch as crema-

burning ~. The diffusion among the
people of better knowledge OF chem

the day in behalf of cremation. which is

Now for a New ArmOry.

We dare say 1t is almost unnecessary
to remind the good people of Scranton
and vicinage of the fact that next week,
in the rockingham theater, there will
be presented under the auspices of the
Thirteenth regiment, by capable play
ers, a thrilling drama Of the civil war,
commemorative of the stirring engage
ment at "AllatoOna." The purpose of
this presentation is to secure the
nucleus of a fund for the construction
of a new regimental armory. plans for
which had several months ago to be
temporarily abandoned because of un-
satisfactory business conditions then
prevalent throughout the country.
1t ought not to be necessary to re-
mind our public-spirited citizens that
the present armory of the Thirteenth
regiment Is both insufficient in size and
totally inadequate in dignity and ap-
pearance for the purposes of a city like
Scranton and a regiment like the ban
ner Thirteenth. Now that the business
outlook Is becoming bright again, and
the building season opening with un-
usual briskness throughout the city, as
shown particularly in the erection of
many handsome new public buildings,
1t ought to be work of pleasure for
every enterprising Scrantonian to CO.
operate In the new armory movement
and thus render possible it's success
full and speedy completion.
Those business men who appreciate
the value of the National guard as a
reserve force adding to the security of
their property should be especially gem
erous toward the new armory project
at this time. in view OF the probable
abandonment. next summer, of the an
nual encampment. This abandonment,
forced upon the commonwealth through
motives Of necessary economy, will
doubtless have no i'll effect upon the
Thirteenth regiment If, in compensa-
ton for that deprivation, the regiment
shall be enabled to occupy fitting new
home. The members of the Thirteenth
have long deserved such a home; and
this time they ought by all means to be
helped t" it. 80

The Income Tax Farce.

The outrageous character Of the pres
ent emasculated income tax Is wildly
shown in an open letter. TO Its Popu-
listic compounders which a wcll-hnoWn
Scrantonian has handed to us for pub
llcation. The letter is brief and to the
point. 1t aims to give just three eN-
amples of the taX's equity and justice.
In the first one. let US imagine that
there is u man whose annual income of
1904, 500 is derived from lands, rents and
bonds excepting $4,000 Under the pres
ent status of the income tax he would
be compelled to pay into the federal
treasury the magnificent sum of $40
only; as against $500 exacted from the
lawyer doctor or other professional
man earning $4,000 year, or $500 from
the merchant or manufacturer whose
income amounts to $4,000 annually
That is to say, the tax Is now, even more
than ever, an mpost directly levied on
skilled labor. We append a restate-
ment of the case, to make our point
clearer:
