ARGUS BUREAU.

RALEIGH. May z. 1895,
To-day the voting in the NUM-
cipal election is under way. The
registration has been exceeding
close, rot over fifty, Republicans
and Democrats, remaining un-
registered. This shows much in
terest is being taken in the cleo
ton, which is as close, and more
complicated than the registra-
ton. From estimates made this
morning each party IRE exceed
ing six alderman to the other.
This means a tie in the vote of
this governing board. The poll
teal complexion of the city will
thus depend upon the Mayor. who
will have the deciding vote. Russ
is being scratched in some of the
wards while Wynne, the Re
publican nominee is also scratch
ed by a certain class. 1t now
looks as though both mayoralty
candidates will run behind their
tickets. The prohibition or
temperance" element is giving
Russ trouble.
I saw Judge Montgomery this
morning. He says that a de-
cision in the Ewart-Jones Judge
ship contest will not be given by
the Court until argument in the
Cooke Meares case is heard. He
said that perhaps the decision
would be handed down to-mor-
row afternoon.
John B. Hussey, Buffers no.

He will ask for 80, 600. It has
long been known he intended to
take this action but the papers
were only served to-day.H His com
plant has not yet been filed.
On May 18th the University

ranging for a special train. A
special will be run from Chapel
Hill and it is hoped that other
trains will be procured from
other points.
Yes terday at the pond in

give no information as to poaching, but
in the teeth of their violent and blood
thirsty opposition. But still the Re
publican pleads, How can the laws be
enforced in Essex county when the men
over there will not become informers?
Few offenses would be punished if
willing testimony alone were relied
upon to convict. The people of Essex
county are not hostile to the law. They
simply object, and not without reason,
to jeopardizing the safety of their
property by becoming tell-tales. If the
fish and game commissioners cannot
find in the law the means and power to
detect and punish poaching, and can
learn nothing in this matter from the
experiences of the past. particularly
from Fish Warden Atherton's skillful
and resolute proceedings in 1884 and
'85, then there is little use in having
these officials except for purposes of
dress-p parade and for fair-weather ex-
plotting. The appointment of COM
petent warden and the exercise on his
part of fair degree of seasonable vigi-
lance, detective skill and resolution,
with the employment of such agencies
as may be necessary to supplement his
personal efforts, would unquestionably
be effective in Essex county. In lieu
of these remedies, Sheriff Atherton's
old hat stuck up on pole at some
point along the line might serve very
useful purpose. Or the commissioners
might try the potent charms of liquid
bait. New Hampshire people are said
to be unusually susceptible to such Sc
auctions.

house of representatives are not all on
the side of political principle or politi'
cal expediency. They are economic
also. With house of representatives
of 100 members, 1926, 900 would be saved
in debentures at each session of the
legislature. Now, If the towns of small
populations are periodically devoted to
the true political principle, If they are
wisely solicitous for their individual
political power and their material well
fare, they will be getting ready to sur
render an unrepublican independence,
and the voters will be making up their
minds that it is meet to forego what
they have been wont to regard as an
inalienable right, the right at some
time during their lives to represent
their town in the general assembly of
the state. Gay, there's the rubl"
Vermontis the only state in the Union
whose basis of representation in the
lower branch of the legislature is incon-
sistent with the republican principle.
We trust she will sighalize the close of
the century by taking, in 1900, the ini-
tial step toward such an amendment of
the constitution as shall make its gov
eminent republican in all its branches.
Then will she be, indeed, the " model
republic"

The Corpse Buried,

When it became known week ago
that Judge Jackson had voted to sus-
tain the constitutionality of the income
tax law, this was at first accepted as a
conclusion of the whole matter. On
the main question, at the first hearing,
the court, with one judge absent, was
tied, four judges voting to sustain and
four to deny the constitutionality of the
statute. Later on, it began to be ru-
mored that one at least, and possibly
two, of the judges who had voted to
sustain the law had changed their opin-
ion upon the reargument. Judges
Shiras of Pennsylvania and Brown of
Michigan were the officials mentioned.
The decision of the court was formally
announced on Monday and all doubts
set at rest. The law is pronounced I'M
constitutional in all its sections. Judge
Shiras was converted to that opinion,
and the vote stood five against to four
in favor of the constitutiOnality of the
tax. Chief Justice Fuller, Justices
Field, Brewer, Gray and Shiras, con-
stituted the majority, and Justices
Harlan, Brown, Jackson and White
the minority. The tax on the income
from personal property was held to be
a direct tax, and therefore unconstitu-
tional
This decision completed the demoli-
ton of the law, similar decision hav-
ing been made at the first hearing in
respect of the tax on rents of real es.
tate and on the interest on state and
municipal bonds. The majority of the
judges further expressed the belief that
congress would not have passed the
law after the sources of income ad.
versely affected by the first decision had
been stricken out. So the corpse of
the odious measure was buried out of
sight, to the immense satisfaction of
the American people in general, and,
in particular, of the New York Sun,
its unrelenting enemy, of Joseph H.
Choate, Esq, the able and brilliant adj
vocate whose cogent arguments won
over to his clear and comprehensive
view of the whole matter majority of
the august judges of the nations court
of final appeal. Repudiated by the
people with the most striking express
sion of disapproval, the humiliation of
the administration is completed by the
sentence of death pronounced upon the
measure that embodied the most signal
feature of it's policy. None now 80
