hammered hy preceaentr.

From reading the dissenting opinions
in the income tax case, particularly that
of AR Justice White. the impression is
gained that all of the income tax would
have been declared unconstitutional If it
had not been for certain precedents-de-
cisions rendered long ago which appear
to cover the same questions that were
raised in the income tax case.
Does it not seem to be a little remark
abls that a Justice of the supreme court
should follow a precedent in preference
to his own judgment in so important
n matter as that of the income tax? 1t
is impossible at this time to understand
all the circumstances connected with the
decisions of long ago, which are now
held 10 be binding precedents. In this
country conditions are changing rapidly.
New questions are being presented all
the time, and old questions are coming
up again under new conditions. 1t would
seem to be the duty of the court to take
notice of the changed conditions in in
terpreting the laws. Congress treats SIM
liar questions differently al different pc
RODS of the country's history and 1t
would seem as If the highest court in
the country should take into account
the changed conditions in Interpreting
the acts of congress rather than adj
here slavishly TO presidents.
1t may be that the presidents that are
followed were in harmony with conditions
that existed when they were made
at least influenced by them to some ex-
tent. The conditions now being different
why should a judge follow precedents
of which his judgment does not approve.
The adherence to precedents by one
or more of the justices instead of follow.
ing their convictions has brought about
a very tangled state Of affairs, which
promises to result in a memorable crop Of
lawsults.

Police electric telegraph systems are
now arranged so that when the officer
on duty at the station wishes to commune
cate with a patrolmap he touches a but
ton on his desk which. by an electrical
arrangement, lowers a red globe over a
light on top of the call box on the patrol
mans beat. When the patrolman comes
within sight of his box the color of the
light informs him whether or not head
quarters has a message for him. The
difficulty about the arrangement seems
to be the fact that there are so many red
lights along the average police beat.

The Rev. Mr. Lansing. who occupies
such an unenviable position before the
public just now. because of his attack
upon President Cleveland, is the pastor
of the Park church of Boston. The Globe.
of that city, suggests to him the propriety
of rendering his resignation before he is
informed by the congregation that his
credulity and lack of judgment have de-
stroyed his credibility and usefulness in
that church.

CURRENT COMMENT.
San Act to Discourage Thrift"
From the New York Herald .Qnd.).

AS the income tax law now stands, it
should be entitled an act for the discour-
agement of thrift in the producing classes.
The incoming congress should repeal it at
the earliest possible moment.

Mr.. Courtney. a candidate for the speak
ership of the House of Commons, is OBJ
jected to by the London Times on the
ground that he IS not endowed with the
''sower Of conceaiing his contempt for the
absurdities of which. unhappily, there is
no lack in the House of Commons" When
this point comes to be considered in con-
nection with the coming speakership con-
ties. in this country, would it not be a good
idea to elect Just such a man as Mr.
Courtney? American speakers are fire.

The advance in the price of meats
should offer a. valueb BILE object lesson to
Georgia farmers. There is alleged to be
a shortage in the supply. hence the price
has gone up. Fluctuations in the price
of silver had nothing to do with it, The
pointer afforded on the silver question,
however. may be regarded as a side issue.
The main point is that farmers should
begin now. if they have neglected to do
so. TO prepare for raising a greater amount
of pork this year than ever before. No
farmer ever has to throw away good pork.
no matter how bountiful the supply, while
some farmers claim that their last cot
ton crop was the same as thrown away.

of influencing legislation. Messrs. Have. meyer and Searles refused to show whether it was or not. Their demurrers were there- fore overruled and the indictments were good.
 Mir. Nathaniel Wilson, representing Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles, called Judge Coles attention to the charge in the indictment that MT. IIavemeyer had re- fused to answer questions.
 Mir. Havemeyer had simply refused to produce tue books Of the company of which he was president, said MT. Wilson, and had not refused to answer questions as to matters from which he had personal knowledge. Judge Cole said he had con- sidered that point and it amounted to the same thinG-a refusal to give answers that could be obtane by tue books.
 Assistant District Attorney Taggart and the attorneys present representing the de- feudants announced an agreement to con- suit as to the days to be set for the trials of the various persons whose demurrers haS been overruled.
 The attorneys for Messrs. Mccartney and Chapman, the two brokers, have decided to surrender one of the indicted men, prob- ably Mr. Mccartney, to the authorities and then carry the case to the United States supreme court on a writ of habeas corpus.
 Mccartney and Chapman are on bail and it will pro bably be arranged that the one to be surrendered shall remain in tech nical custody only and not be incarcsrated in

THE O'BRIEN BILL
To Levy q Special School Tax De- clared Unconstitutional by a Com mittee of the Commerce. Club.
 A Remedy Suggested.

The committee appointed by the Com mercial club, consisting of s. Steiner, chairman; Joseph F. Johnston, J. D. Moore, E. H. Cabaniss and NJ. A. Porter, to investigate the proposed O'Brien bill levying a special school tax of mills on all property in the city met yesterday afternoon, and after an investigation of the matter came to the conclusion that the proposed bill would be unconstitutional.
 The committee then decided to recon mend to the Commercial club the abandon . ment of the O'Brien bill and in it's stead try to get authority from the legislature
 for the city to levy local assessment sim.
 liar to that now levied for garbage, water fire, etc.
 The committee will also recommend tc the club that the city obtain authority from the legislature to levy tax on al fire insurance policies issued on property in the city of Birmingham.
 In this way 1t is hoped enough additiona revenues will be raised to maintain cred itabie system of public schools in the city.
