JUSTICE FIELD AND THE INCOME
TAX.

Stephen J. Field, Associate Justice
of the United States Supreme court,
is lying critically i'll in California, with
but little prospect of his recovery. This
fact has revived again the report that
he intends to resign and brings into
public prominence the income tax
which was declared unconstitutional
by vote of to 4.
1t is we'll known that the admins
tration was disappointed at thus de-
cision and are now ascribing 10 " the
necessity for additional bond issues
and the present Treasury deficit. 1t
is said that the President will take
advantage of the first opportunity to
secure reversal of this decision and
in some measure at least, re-instate his
administration in the estimation OF
the people. Justice Fields death or
resignation would open the door for
such action.
In the event of vacancy occurring
on the Supreme bench, it is said to be
the intention of the President to APP
point Secretary Carlisle to the position,
because he believes that the income
tax law rejected by the Supreme court
was in every respect constitutional.
If this should be done the only pro-
cess necessary to bring the income tax
matter before the highest tribunal
AGAIN for action would be to make a
motion for rehearing of the original
case in which the decision of uncon-
stitutionality was rendered-that OF
Miller against the Secretary of the
Treasury.
A majority could grant such re-
hearing. and after due consideration,
hand down an opinion declaring the
| same law to be valid, without any re-
| gard to the counter action Of the same
| body heretofore taken.
1t would simply be duplication OF
| the course pursued in reference to the
| legal tender case during the incum-
| bencv of President Grant, when the
| Supreme court rendered a decision tc
| the effect that greenbacks were not
| legal tenders. This was a sad blow
to the policy of the administration al
| that time. But the victory of the Jul
dietary was short-lived. By specia
| act of Congress the membership OF the
Supreme court was increased from
seven to nine, and Mr.. Grant at once
appointed Messrs. Bradley and Strong
to be the associate judges authorized
nv the new law, they believing in The
legal tender qualities of the green
back. Immediately after these gentle
men had qualified the Chief justice
moved a rehearing of the case II
| which the obnoxious decision had beer
given. and after the usual legal form
ula another opinion was handed dow
declaring that greenbacks were lega
| tender
1t will be remembered that five mem
beers of the Supreme court at first a
greed that the income tax was constr
tutional. but the fifth member after
wards changed his mind and voted wit
its opponents But the great masse

THREE NEW BATTLESHIPS.
The Bids for Constructing Them Will
be Opened Today.

Washington, Sept. 14.-At the navy
department today bids were opened for
building the three coast line battleships
authorized by congress at its last ses-
sion. Several prominent ship builders
have already arrived in Washington to
witness the opening. Among these are
President Scott of the Union Iron
works, San Francisco; John Dialogue Of
Camden, n. J., and Chas. Cramp of the
Cramp ship works, Philadelphia The
cost of each one of these vessels is linn
tied by law to SO, 100000, exclusive of ar
mament.
lions of the best features of the Iowa
and Kearsarge, now under construction
modified by such improvements as ex-
perience has suggested. They will be
1868 feet long on the water line and p
feet wide in the middle. The vessels
will be propelled by engines of 10000
horse power and will be expected to
make a speed of IS knots an hour
Extensively, each of the three new
ships will possess two very powerful
batteries. The main battery will be
composed of four 13-inch breceh load
ing rifles and fourteen 6-inch rapid fire
rifles. The secondary battery, designed
to repel torpedo boats, light craft, and
to sweep the unarmOred parts of an
enemy, will consist of sixteen 6-pounder
fire guns, four machine or gatling guns
and one field piece. In addition to this
force an allowance of gUn-cOttou for
sub marine mining and eight autOmO-
bile tOrpedOes. to be discharged from
the two tubes on each broadside amid
ships, will be carried for that silent and
more deadly phase of naval warfare.

FEAR ANOTHER MASSACRE.
Foreigners IN Constantinople in Dread
Powers Won't Act Now.

I
Powers Won't Act Now.
Copyrighted, 1896, by Associated Press.)
ConstantinopIe, Sept.13, via Sofia, Bull
garia, Sept. 14-There is little or no
change in the political situation here
and it is believed that the powers will
not take action Immediately in the case
of Sultan Abdul Hamid, a great deal
depending upon the result OF the car s
approaching visit to Balmoral
According to the palace ofhc1als, the
audiences which Sir Philip Currie, the
British ambassador, had with the sui
tan on Friday last resulted IN convinc-
ing his majesty that the feeling aginst
him in Great Britain is mucn more in
tense than he or his advisers have re-
allied, and it was minated to him
that Great. Britain in certain eventual
tiles, might be compelled to take ac-
ton, Independent of other powers, in
preventing further disturbances here.
In spite of this assurance, it is notice
able that there is a renewal of serious
anxiety among the foreign portion of
the population that another outbreak
will occur at not far distant date.
The British vessels carrying Armen-
ian refugees are guarded by the Brit
ish Warship Dryad while in these wa
ters, in order to prevent the arrest of
their passengers by the Turkish author
tiles The British commander has re-
ceived explicit instructions from the
British ambassador to resist any inter
ference with the rights of British YES
sells on the high seas.
Inc request OF the ROunanlan auth
critics to permit Armenian refugees to
land in ROumania has created a very
bad impression in European circles and
may lead to serious complications later
on.
The joint commission of Europeans
and Turks appointed to inquire into
the recent massacres and their origin,
held its preliminary meeting on Satur-
day, but the fact that most of the Ar
menians who could furnish the neces-
sary evidence to place blame where it
belongs, have been imprisoned or ban
'ished, leaves the commission little else
to work upon than the Turkish police
officials whose evidence, literally
amounts to nothing at all.
But the work of the commission, hap
PLY, has been fOrestalled by the en-
bassies, where all the evidence neces-
sary to conclusively prove that the
massacres were officially planned at
and authorized from the palace, has
been collected and submitted to the
governments of the six powers.
1t is stated that the Sofas had plan
ned a manifestation in the vicinity of
the Yildiz palace upon the occasion of
the Selamlik of last week, and num-
Der of Mussulmans, it is added, have
been arrested in consequence.
The precautions adopted to guard the
palace against attack were greatly in
creased in consequence, but no mani
festatiOn occurred.

The Cricket ana HI. SONG.

The Cricket and His Song
Within the stone wall gray
That winds the road along
hear him all the day
Upkick his legs in song,
Or, to be less correct,
He plays upon his fife,
In which 1 e'eF detect
The spirit of the knife.
He sizzIes with sizz,
Without a blooming break.
He whizzles with a whiz
That makes my molars ache.
With vigOr sharp and fierce
He spills his striaent note,
Which is enough to pierce
The can within the goat.
When from the wall he vaults,
He perpetrates his squeak.
When turning somersaults,
He's raspfng like q streak.
When on the grass blade slim
I see him Rayly poise,
He dedicates his vim
Unto the cause Of noise.
His hinder members whiz,
Whereat an awful din
Ensues, and then he is
A Chinese violin,
Upon whose melodies
Would long and fondly hang,
Ahoat on fairy seas.
The vicerOy, Lii Hung Chang.
Oh. while be rudely screpes
With wild, uncanny art,
This prayer devoutIy shapes
Itself within my heart,
"Oh, hit him on the hop,
And when he sprawls headlong
Break all his legs and stop
His scissors grinding songI''
