KILLED oNE-HALF Ar A TIM

Evidently the Supreme Court believes in
halfway measures. A few weeks since
that body pompously destroyed the most
important part Of the income tax law 10y
declaring a tax on incomes derived from
notes and municipal bonds unconstitu-
tional. and yesterday, in the same cere-
m0nious manner il killed the tail by re-
pealing the remainder Of the law Such
humane consideration for The feelings OF
income taA advocates is deservedly COM
mendable, but from the standpoint of
cruelty 10 legal proceedings, it is rather
rough on the law
The important question now is the source
OF our revenues There is already de-
ficit Of over S5l 600 900 besides the debt
created by the sale Of $4,000 900 OF
bonds The present tariff law was
framed with the expectation that at least
$50. 900 900 would be derived from the
income tax, and as there is but little hope
OF a sufficient increase Of tariff revenue
10 make up this loss. either an extra ses-
sion Of Congress or another sale OF bonds
seems inevitable. Those high in authority
disclaim any such necessity, but it looks
more as IL they were whisting in thedark TO
Keep up courage, than that they really
mean what they say.
There would be hope Of pulling out Of
this financial hole We're the country To have
absolute rest from political agitation so
that tbusiness might revive and our revenues
Increase But another election, with all
its uncertainties, is but eighteen months
distant aud during that time the financial
discussion will more or less delay the re-
turn of good times. An early session Of
Congress is preferable 10 another bond is
sue, but the resumption Of prosperity would
be more beneficial than either.

PRESIDENT CLEYELAND'S WEAK
NESS

A fortnight ago in refusing 10 grant him
a pardon President Cleveland scolded
Editor Chase and yesterday be publicly
rCprimanded Admiral Meade in an onder
retiring him from active service in the Navy
Such methods OF obtaining revenge for
political slurs are beneath the dignity OF
chief executive, and VIII always remain in
President CIeveland's record as indications
OF a weak side OF his nature.
The exalted office OF President should
never be used to crafty personal ami
mosities. 1t is a position where self should
be subordinated to dignity and public good.
Spite work and hatred Of individual or
creed should be expunged from the category
OF Presidential practices and q dignified
silence maintained toward all attempts to
beIittle official acts This method oftreating
criticism OF Official conduct may seem q
little severe, but the man who is not broad
enough TO overlook political attacks or
public censure is not great enough TO be
worthy the office of President.
Look at the cause Of President CleveIand's s
two latest reprimands. Editor Chase Of
Tended because he libeled Recorder Taylor,
friend and appointee Of the President
Admiral Meade was ccnsured for having

GAS IN CARBoYs BY THE POUND

OAS IN GAhBO1 ID he Il " L.
According TO the enthusiastic advocates
OF acetylene gas, we are TO have a luml-
nant that can be sold by the pound, like
sugar. 1t will do away with the gas meter
and everything else connected with the
old system of using gas except pocket
book, and it is said that it will touch that
holder-of-cool more lightly than the old
fashioned gas bill.
II is also claimed that more light can be
bought in 20 cents worth OF this new
gas than can be purchased for a $1-25 of
the Washington Gaslight monopoly, and
that il is so cdorless that several pounds
of il can be released without creating the
belief that a barrel of worn out eggs has
suddenly been tapred. AS soon as the ex-
pertinent can be made it will also be
demonstrated that a wcuId-be suicide can
safely attach a rubber tube TO gas jet
and suck mself into state OF mind that
viii make life more desirable.
The only thing that stands in the way OF
the immediate use of acetylene gas is its
disposition to be extremely hashful. At
present the most thatcan be said concerning
this highly useful product is that 1t
issomewhere in existence. Assoon as itcan
be accustomed 10 the ways OF Washington
people it win be packed in carboys and
delivered at residences, where it can be
delivered at the gas burners much after
the manner OF soda water. II will be sold
bythepound of sixteen ouncesand warranted
good weight Don't look for it, however,
until little later on.

JOSE MARTI.

JULIO sANGUnY. GUIELLERMo MoNcADA.
Another fight between the rebels and
the government forces took place near Las
Tunas
Colonel Salcedo received positive In.
formation that band of 700 insurgents un.
der the command of Jose Marti, Maxine
Gomez, Mazzo and Barrero had taken up
line Of march to pass the river Cauto,
thence to proceed in the direction of Vic.
toria de las Tunas. with the design of
Marching Upon Puerto Principe.
General Salcedo, confident of the nc.
curacy of his information, dispatched
Colonel Sandoval with detachment OF
troops to march in pursuit of the rebel
band.
Colonel Sandoval found the enemy en-
camped ut point between Bias and
BOca de Dos Rios, on the right side Of the
Contramaestre river, a small tributary of
the Cauto, the confluence with which is
but short distance away.
The strip of land between the two rivers
is high, thus making strong position
Nevertheless, Colonel Sandoval attacked
the camp and found his troops harassed
by "A scattering fire of single shots from
cover The fight lasted for an hour in this
manner. At the finish the Spanish troops
advanced and took the enemy's position,
dividing the insurgent force in the narrow
strip Of land by their advance and com.
pelling the rebels to fly in different direc-
tioDs. The Spanish troops hotly pursued
and came upon the body Of Jose Marti,
who was later positively identified.
OF the rebels, 20 were killed and many
of their wor&ded were left in the camp
when they took flight. The Spaniards
took some correspondence of the rebel
leaders with the booty of the camp, among
which are some important papers. The
arms and horses of the insurgents were
also taken.
The Spaniards lost five killed and sever
wounded in the engagement.
The political effect of this event is dis
couraging to the cause of the insurgents

NO PROGRAMME ARRANGED
For the Memphis Convention Some CT the
Brightest and Brainiest viii Be There.


Memphis Tenn, May 19-Considering
that on May 90 the big sound money con-
vention is to be opened, and that already
some Of the delegates have begun to ar
rive, it is surprising that no scheme for
the exercises for the opening of the affair
has been adopted and no plan of action
has been discussed.
The local committee on arrangements,
of which w. j. Crawford is chairman
and Henry Hotter is secretary has taken
the view that the convention shall be an
open one with the power to fix its own
programme, select it's own temporary
and permanent officers and do such 9TH
er things as appear proper to it. The
only person who is billed for a speech
is Secretary Carlisle, and the under
standing now is that that gentleman will
arrive on the opening day and deliver
his address. The other speakers will
not be known until the convention is
opened The committee on arrange
ments has decided that delegates shall
present their credentials to Secretary
Hotter on May % and receive their
badges, and on the opening day of the
convention these badges, presented at
the door of the auditorium in which the
convention will be held, will be good for
reserved seats.
George Arnold, Hugh Petit and Dem
mis- Smith are the committee on the recep-
ton of delegates There will be no lack
of oratory, as among the list of delegates
appear the names of some of the bright
est and brainiest business men and
statesmen of the SOUTH

He Wants to Retire.

London May 19.-Mr. William O'Brien,
member of parliament, has asked his
friends not to collect the subscription
left to them by Viscount Wolmer for the
purpose of paying the claim of Mr.. Pat
rick A. Chance, member of parliament,
which, If not paid, will result in Mr.
O'Brien being declared a bankrupt and
his consequent retirement from the
house of commons. Mr.. Chance acted
as Mr. OBrien's solicitor in the action
for libel brought against him by Lord
Salisbury, and Mr.. O'Brien contends that
Mr.. Chance was to be paid out of the
Irish parliamentary fund. Mr.. Chance
did not take this view of the matter, and
upon Mr. O'Briens refusal to settle with
him brought an action and secured judg-
ment against him. Mr.. O'Brien refuses
to satisfy the judgment, and the only
apparent result Will be his being declared
a bankrupt, in which event, according to
the rules of the house of commons, his
seat becomes vacant.
