The Retirement of Judge jackson.

The bill now before Congress to permit
the retirement of the Hon. HOWELL E.
JACKSON, one of the Associate Justices OF
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
provides that the Judge may retire upon
full pay, in consequence Of his physical dis
ability, Notwithstanding that he has not
served the ten years requisite in ordinary
cases to entitle a member of the Supreme
Court to the statutory pension.
There seems to be no doubt that Mr.. JUS
tice JACKSON will avail himself of this per-
mission when given. If he does so, Presi-
dent CLEVELAND will have the appointment
Of his successor.
In that event, It may be wise for the Presi-
dent to remember that the part Of the
United States in which the most important
litigations arise is without any representa-
tive upon the bench OF the Supreme Court
Of the United States. This is the Second
Circuit in the Federal judicial system, and
comprises the States of Vermont, Connec-
ticut, and New York.
When vacancy occurred in the Second
Circuit by reason of the death of that most
learned and courageous Judge, SAMUEL
BLATCHFoRD, Mr.. CLEVELAND and the Sem
uoo Spuiu NV osioo upoh Cho scASGoiOu VI -
successor from New York, and the appoint
ment went to Senator EDWARD d. WHITE of
Louisiana. The law requires a Supreme
Court Justice to be assigned to each circuit,
and to hold court therein rs often as once in
two years. Judge WHITE was not gent to
the New York circuit, but that assig gnment
was given to Mr.. Justice BROWN of Michi-
gan. who was for many years the District
Judge Of the United States at Detrdt, and
is ,.rofo familiar IT, o. foutsis IA lawyer
could be with the administration of the law
in the Northern States.
At the very first opportunity, however,
the Second Circuit should be represented by
New York lawyer on the Supreme Court
bench. II Mr.. CLEVELAND cannot find
Democrat whom the Senate likes as we'll as
he does, why not follow the example of
President HARRISON, who appointed num-
ber of Judges from the opposite political
party? The Hon. BENJAMIN F. TRACY of
New York, for example, soldier Judge,
Cabinet Minister, and broad minded gen.
teman, would be confirmed by the Senate
before you could say Jack Robinson.

1t was delightful despatch from Wash
ington which we printed on Friday about that
patriotic Jerseyman. Mr.. AUGUSTUS BANNIGAN
OF Paterson. Mr.. BANNIGAN, who has been con-
verted to religion by the prayers OF the Saliva
tionists, desired to give practical proof of the
genuineness of his conversion, and, as he had
been drawing pension TO which ho believed no
was not entitled, he made haste to send back to
the Treasury the whole OF his pension money,
amounting To the neat sum OF S4l0. Truly, this
Is glorious evidence that he has been indeed
converted, better evidence than II he were to
spend all the rest OF his life in eXhorting, pray
ing. singing hymns, and beating the Salvation
drum. 1t Is the kind that is required
by the Scriptures, that relieves the con-
science. that honors his religion that serves as
an example to others, that makes an impression
upon unbelieVers, and that justihes THE sun in
praising him without stint. Honor TO Brother
BANNIGANl How few, alas how few Of the
people who say or think that they have been con.
Verted arc able to prove II by en- act of the ma
ture OF that OF Mr.. BASNIGAN. We fear that
he will not hnd many companions OF his kind in
Paterson. The Treasury would very quickly be
relieved, and the financial strain would mass
away, II all pensioners were converted 10 hon
esty Ss he has been.
On the day we published tho despatch about
the case OF Mr.. BANSIGAN, Tue EVENING SIN

The rescue Of the crew of the Josie Reeves
by the men of the Tcutonic in the cold gale of
Friday deserves recognition. even in the shadow
OF such disasters the Elbe's. 1t was done in
n wind OF hurricane force, shsrpened by a tenn
perature that made water leo the moment II
came TO rest. Owing to the thick ness of the
storm the Teutonic could not undertake TO cross
the bar, and while waiting for better weather
she drifted down opposite Long Beach. where
she met the schooner Josie Reeves. with nine
men. We doubt II men ever voluntarily entered
n small boat under more terrible conditions
than confronted the four sailors and the Fourth
officer of the Teutonio who set out to the help
less schooner. IL was almost cold enough for
the lashings of the sea to be frozen white as
fast as they formed. A man might as
well have fallen into the Teutonic's furnace
as TO have gone overheard out of that boat;
Death would have been al certain and almost as
quick. But the boat was put off. and after an
hours desperate effort in which the mems suf-
ferings can perhaps be imagined. the attempt to
board the schooner had TO be abandoned. and
luckily the boat got back to the steamship again.
Then Capt. CAMERON boldly took the steamer
straight up to the poor schooner, to give her
momentary shelter under the Teutonic's great
Sides and in that interval the schooner's crew
managed to launch their own boats and get safe
on board the Teutonic. 1t was an episode of
heroism amid awful surroundings. Great credit
is due to Capt. CAMERON for the handling Of his
men and his ship, and as for that special boats
crew. We raise our beavers high.

lncomo Tax Puzzles.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I have
read with great interest your articles on the in
come tax, and though am well aware of tho
fact that you must be fairly swamped with sug-
Restions. should like to call your attention to
one or two matters which are of great interest
to income tax sufferers.
1t is stated at the collectors Offices that II a
husband returns his own and his wife's income.
she will not DO asked to make a return.
Query.-Is this authorized by law or by Car
lislo? And how about the first lines Of section
20 of the act? l grant 1t is q fair and proper
rule. but would ones wife not run tho risk Of
being punished by so per cent penalty for fall
ing to make q return2
Again. a husband has an income Of So, 900, his
wife an income of $4,000. The law says a per-
son with an income of less than $500 need not
make return. But it also says but one exemp-
tion of $4,000 shall be allowed on the aggregate
incomes of husband and wife.
Now. neither of these persons violates the law
under section 90 (tenth or twelfth line; both
violate the intent of the law under the second
provision of section 90 il they fail toreturn
Your article of Jan. 2s. 1895, contains Ian
guage beautifully adapted to describe these
parts of the law.
Again, husband has an income not taxable:
wife has a taxable income. The collector says
as understand The Sun to-day. the husband
should make return. But section 90 SAYS he
need not, and the income tax blanks call for
statement of a wifes income, and not for what
q husbands income is What are we to do?
There are no authorities covering these points,
and you may search the records through with
out discovering even an intimation. as 1 am in
formed by my legal friends, of what the law says
must be done.
What the statute meant, / suppose. Is:
]. The head Of family should make return
for his wife and minor children.
2. Such return would satisfy tho collectors
unless they suspect fraud.
8. A return must be made II the joint incomes
are over $500.
But the law does not say this.
Observe however. oh. Sun, that shines for all,
and, If you can cast ray of light into this pit
of unfathomable depth. II you have but SO 900
income, and have a wife and children, or only
wife, whose income is any amount sufficiently
large to make your income greater than tho
$4,000 limit, and IL you don't make a return,
you may be mulcted in q penalty and put to
endless trouble by having purely arbitrary in
come fixed as being yours.
In war times We paid our taxes. and after
ward too, with Grumbling-yes, but still we
paid them. No one ever brought into court the
question of who should make the return, but
the head of the family made 1t. Even the cues
tion on the direct tax provision of the Constitu-
tion never was pressed in the Supreme Court,
for then our country needed money
But now, because the Pops and the Admins
tration want prosperous Americans taxed be-
cause they are prosperous. must face a law
that As war measure we could bear, but which |
in times OF peace, and when we ought to be |
comes little hard.

We guess there must have been as many as
thirty or forty thousand people out sleigh riding
yesterday. There was flrst-rste sleighing away
up town on the west side; and at some hours
and places the vehicles were almost as numerous
as they may have been in Quebec. The horses
seemed to be not less happy than the riders as
the sleigh bells jingled 1t was even finer to see
tho family parties than the man or the woman
who rode alone. The members of many family
party kept laughing all the time and had all sorts
OF fun. 1t is an interesting fact that New York
sleigh riders generally indulge in great deal Of
laughter whom they are out, while Canadian
sleigh riders, particularly those in the province
Of Quebec, look glum when out. New Yorkers
do not swear at their horses like the Quebec
provincials, perhaps because their horses do not
need to be sworn at. The snow here was dry
and light yesterday. 1t was the best day our
sleigh riders have had for many year.

Typhoid in Water aud MIX.

In Two New England towns serious
typhoid epidemics have resulted from
the use OF infected milk. In one OF the
towns, Stanford, Connecticut, there
have been two hundred cases caused by
the use OF the milk OF ono dairy. Ex-
animation disclosed that the milk cans
were washed in polluted water. The
typhoid bacilli were found in the milk
and in the water. There was no escape
from the conclusion that the milk did the
mischief. OF course the dairyman had
no desire to infect his customers. lie
did not know that tho disease was in
the water, aud if he had known that
would probably have seen no harm in
using the water nearly to cleanse the
cans.
Ignorance ia responsible for a great
deal OF sickness. suffering and death.
Carclessuess plays n good second fiddle

to beat. It is because there is ignorance
and there is carelcssness that public in.
spection is demanded for the public

that no danger is lurking about.
