INCOME TAX.

The case which will shortly be
tried upon the constitutionality OF
the Income tax law is one in which
a very large portion of the commun-
ity are directly interested. The
bulk of taxpayers seem to favor the
income tax law, but they wish to
be thoroughly satisfied that it IS
constitutional. In another column
will be found the main points of
contention in the Campbell case.
A. G.. NJ. Robertson, who was one
of the strong advocates of the in
come tax law in the last legislature
will make a strong defence for the
Government.
To have the case fought out on
constitutional grounds will give an
opportunity of reviewing the theory
of income tax legislation, and the
Star knows of no one who can more
ably handle the subject than Mr..
Robertson, who has devoted so
much attention to it.
The income tax of last Legislature
was really tentative move. 1t
had the strong support Of Minister
Damon, who is thorough believer
in this form of tax. Should the
present law be found unconstitution-
al, the next legislature will un-
doubtedly take up the matter again
and make a law which may hold
water.
When that comes about it will be
well for the large property owners
to engage counsel to meet the COM
mittee of the House and argue the
legal aspects Of the law before il
passes to the full House. This is
lone all over the States and in Eng.
land, and should be done here.

sertion as a preface to the
statement that the largest and
best assortment OF china and
crockery ever brought to Hon
olulu is on our shelves. The
Brenhilda brought a share
of it and the invoice is pleasing
to every one. The shapes are
the latest ideas of the English
potters and the decorations sur

stomach. Happiness of home
begins, if it does not end, in
order and occupation. In a
home where nothing is to
hand and nothing is done on
time there is a perpetual
sense Of dislocation and dis
comfort which ruins all
thought of happiness. Bad
housekeeping is a worse Of
Tense than is generally con-
sidered. The kitchen, as we'll
as the parlor, is woman's de-
partment, and with the labor
saving appliances now in
use there can exist no reason
why the kitchen should not be
as clean and orderly as the
parlor.
We are exhibiting a number
of up-to-date utensils in the
way of wooden chopping
bowls and knives for mincing;
potato Washers both in wire
and wood; paste boards and
pins; butter moulds; egg beat
ers, and in fact everything a
well equipped kitchen should
possess.
The prices are we'll within
the reach of every house
holder, and the time and labor
saved and satisfaction obtained
from their use we'll repay the
trihing expenditure.

DAVIS-TOME CASE.
Verdict Rendered Against the Jacob.
Tome Institute in the Suit for
EjectmeHt.

The eiectment case of A. S. Davis and
others against Jacob Tome. involving the
ownership of part of the land upon which
the Tome Institute is built in Port Deposit,
was concluded in the Circuit Court at Beair,
Hartford county, on Saturday, the jury late in
the evening returning a verdict for the plain
tiffs for part of the land as claimed under
their locations and $50 damages, the effect
of which is to give the plaintiffs 24x40 feet of
lot 81. on which the Institute building stands,
and all of that same lot between the Columbia
and Port Deposit railroad and the Susque-
hanna river. The case grows out of the dis
puted title to lots 30 and 81, in the town of
Port Deposit, on which Hon. Jacob Tome
has erected the Institute which bears his
name.
The topography Of the lots has been mater-
ally changed by accretions from the river,
thus giving greater depth to the lots. The
adverse holding of IA part Of these lots, with
the knowledge and tacit consent OF the
grantees under which the heirs of Davis
claim title was another important feature of
the case, as also the merging of the fee simple
