INCOME TAX LAW FALLS THEY WILL USE FOUL PLAY
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY
TEF SUPREME COURT
Chief Justice Judd and Justice Whit
ing Hold 1t to be Unjust Discrimi-
nation-Frear Says 1t is Legal.

The income tax law was decided to
be unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court today. Chief Justice Judd and
Associate Justice Whitney held the
law to be an unjust discrimination
while Associate Justice Frear. who
dissented to the opinion, declared it
to be legal classification.
The opinion was written by the
| Chief Justice, who held the law to be
unconstitutional and void, on the
| ground that Section 1 of the act i'm
| poses the tax in violation of Article
II of the Constitution, which requires
that taxation must be proportional.
The Chief Justice stated fourteen
\ reasons in the Honolulu Iron Works
company's case and ten reasons in the
| Campbell case that the act is uncon-
stitutional.
Justice Whiting held that the whole
act falls and agrees with the opinion
| of the Chief Justice in so far as ii de-
clares the law unconstitutional as be-
ing violation of Article IL of the
Constitution, for the reason that there
is an unjust discrimination in the inn
position of the tax on incomes over
$4,000, without the allowance of the
exemption given to those having a
less income. Justice Whiting holds
that the exemption of $4,000 ought to
be allowed to all. in order that each
member of society may bear his pro-
portion or share of the burdens of tax
alton. The Legislature may classify
the objects of taxation, but when clas-
sified, there must be no discrimina,
tion.
w. F. Frear, the dissenting Justice
treated the matter at considerable
length. He says:
II respectfully dissent. and in stat
ing my reasons / shall refer only to
three major points involved in the
case, all of which are closely related
and upon one of which the other mem,
bers of the court base their decision.
and upon another of which they ex>
press different views. 1t will be un,
necessary for me to express an opin-
ion upon the other points raised by
counsel.
"The three points referred to are:
EirSt-Thn 90 600 -->,.>t;-,,, l:..
under $4,000.
Second-The partial exemption of
incomes under $4,000. or the discriml-
nation between incomes over and m
der $4,000. and Third, the non-eXemp-
tion of corporate incomes.
so far as these three points dis
cussed are concerned, | cannot find
that the Legislature has proceeded ar
bitrarily or without real grounds for
other purposes than to equalize the
burdens of taxation. The tax is nni
form upon all those within each class.
With the various provisions of the
Statute so far as questions of policy
are concerned, the Court has nothing
to do. The strong presumption is thlt
the Legislature acted within its Con-
stitutional power and that prcsump-
ton has not been overcome"

SO SAY THE PLANTERS OF THE
CHINESE.
Two Managers Believe that Chinese
Laborers VIII go Great Lengths to
Trump up Charges.

Two prominent sugar planters who
have been in the city for the past
week are authority for the statement
that the majority of the plantation
managers in these Islands are alarm
ed lest their Chinese laborers might
give them trouble.
There will be no uprising" said
one of these gentlemen, but a sys-
tematic conniving will go on among
the Chinese laborers in the Islands.
which may bring our lunas as well as
ourselves into the courts. They are
capable of doing away with one of
their number to make a case.
AT Laupahoehoe grudge was held
against one of the lunas and a scheme
was attempted. But Manager McLen-
nan. fearing foul play, would not give
up the injured man when demand
was made for him by his countrvmen.
They stormed the building with rocks
and when driven off by the police they
marched to Hilo where they were ar
rested. The Chinese laborer is now a
well man and he might thank his stars
that he was never allowed to be ta-
ken away from the plantation office
at Laupahoehoe."
Chinese Commercial Agent Goo Kim
says that there is not word of truth
in these statements. "You have but
the planters side of it," said he, "In
the first place my countrymen who
are employed on the various planta-
tions are not aware of what Is goinp
on In other portions of the Islands
dare say that the men at Laupahoe-
hoe knew nothing whatever of the Ha-
kalau case. Then again, the Chinese
laDorers do not all come from one set
tlement in China. They speak differ
ent dialects and are entirely uncon-
scious of each others actions.
Hickey, the luna convicted in the
Hakalou case, was given fair trial
in the courts and found guilty. The
coroner's jury, consisting of four
white men and two Cinnamon. believ-
ed him guilty, and this week twelve
OF his own countrymen returned a
verdict against him. The assertion
that Lee Man Chit was murdered by
his fellow laborers is absurd in the
teeffa 3ShtefriI4r Andrews has as informed
me of the particulars of that case and
they go to prove that the Chinese la
borers were not wholly in the wrong.
The man was injured by the luna,
and when they called to see him, the
luna who assaulted him came up and
entered the store. 1t was the luna and
not the others that the men We're at
taclling. When the Government has
made an investigation of the Laupa-
hoehoe matter n different story from
the one t0ld by the planters may be

CROSS THEIR SWORDS.
Italy's Representative is the Victor in
the Famous European Duel.

PARIS, France, August 15.-The
duel between Prince Henri of Or
leans and the Count of Turin, nephew
of King Humbert, which grew from
statements made by the Prince re-
garding the conduct of Italian pris-
oners captured by King Menelek dur
ing the recent campaign in Abyssinia,
took place at 3 o'clock this morning
in the Bois des MarechauX, ten miles
from Paris. The fight was desperate.
Prince Henry was severely wounded.
The Count was slightly wounded.
Early in the contest Prince Hen
rvs rapier scratched the Counts right
hand, but he did not disarm him. Not
long after that the Count wounded
the Prince in the right shoulder, Eth
er of these wounds would suffice tc
vindicate honor in an ordinary duel
but merely served in this case to deep
en- the passions of the combatants.
Five successive bouts were fought
two at the closest quarters, each OF
the swordsmen apparently trying tC
rush his adversary. The combat last
ed twenty-siX minutes.
Finally a lunge from the Count
pinlked the Prince in the abdomen or
the right side, the sword penetrating
somewhat deeply. The wound was
severe and effectually prevented NOR,
| fighting. The combatants then shool
hands and physician dressed thei
wounds. Prince Henri was removed
to his fathers residence and immedi
| ately put to bed.

WHITE, and THURSTON, TOO
ANTI-ANNEXATION LEADERS TO
BE ON THE GUARD.
Will Engineer the Mass Meeting of Ma
tives-Senator Pettigrew Has a
Part to Play.

By the Alameda private dispatches
have been received which lay bare
more in detail the plans of the anti
anneXtionists to capture Senator Nor
gan and Senator Quay upon their ar
rival here next month. A story comes
from very high authority that the
scheme for mass meeting of natives
which was recently exposed in the
Star, will be engineered by no less
personages than Senator Steve White
of California and Senator John NJ.
Thurston of Nebraska, who, it is said,
will lead the fight against annexation
in Congress next winter.
According to the information at
hand, Senators White and Thurston
will make it point to arrive here on
the same steamer as Senators Morgan
and Quay, ostensibly in search of facts
and figures that will enable them to
discuss the Hawaiian question intel
ligently. They will not only see that
the natives protest vigorously in mass
meeting against the annexation of the
Islands to the United States, but will
superintend the drafting of a monster
petition to Congress, in which the Ha-
waiians will assert that the govern-
ment was torn from them through the
treachery of American Minister Stew
ems.
The mass meeting will be conduct
ed entirely by Hawaiians, and will be
made as dramatic as possible. The
idea is to work upon the sympathies
of Senator Morgan, and to persuade
him, if possible, that the natives have
been robbed of lands and power by a
handful of rich and powerful whites,
backed by treacherous American
Minister. 1t is believed that the ex-
Queen may arrive on the same steam
er as the senators, and that she will
address the people at the mass meet
ings.
The second card of the anti-annexa-
tionists will be played upon the arri.
val here, late in September. of Sena
tor Pettigrew of South Dakota, Lee
Mantle of Montana and Frank Cannon

THE EX-QUEEN'S PLANS.
She viii Probably Make a Permanent
Home in California.

There is some possibility that EX-
Queen Liliuokalani may make her fu-
ture home in California. She has
found the climate of that state salu-
brious, and the place is as near to her
old home as she can get and remain
out of it.
For some time Liliuokalani has been
talking to her friends of California,
where she has many warm friends.
and of which she is very fond. She
has about concluded that her presence
in Washington and the East can do
no possible good and has sent word to
friends in San Francisco that she will
arrive there about September /.
Liluokalani has announced her in
tention of remaining there at least
two months and during that time will
have her residence at the California
Hotel. After that her plans are indie
finite. Either she will return to the
East, may even go to Europe to meet
her niece, the Princess Kaulani, or else
she will remain in California, and
rent or purchase house where she
will establish permanent residence
In that case the heiress apparent to
the defunct throne may join her rela
tive in California.

California would make good hostess
| There is a certain section of society
there which has always manifested 6
decided taste for Hawaiian throne
lings, and these people would make il
as pleasant for Liliuokalani as they
| formerly did for Kalakaua.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, MAY 10TH, 1897.
It may not be an imposslbility to
produce a tariff bill without aronsing
sensational rumors more or less scandal
lous in their nature in connection with
its sugar schedule, but it hasn't been
done for some years. The sugar scan.
dial started when the Wilson tariff bill
was in the Senate, and recently recalled
by Supreme Court decision which
will compel broker Chapman, and per.
haps others to serve Jail sentences, un.
less Presidential pardon intervenes,
ought to have been enough for gener-
alton, but now the air is once more full
Of rumors about the sugar trusts con.
nection with the sugar schedule Of the
amended Dingley tariff bill, now before
the Senate. 1t is admitted bv many
who do not believe thst there was any
special intention to favor the sugar
trust that the new sugar schedule does
favor it, and that it and the striking
out of the clause declaring for con.
tinuauce of the reciprocity treaty with
Hawaii, has been taken advantage of
already to make large sum of money
by specializing in sugar. It's generally
understood that many changes are to
be made in the tariff bill as it now
stands. Were it not for that under
standing there would be an open revolt
among republicans against many of
its provisions. Even as it is, the lead
ers are having hard time keeping the
rank and file silent, and the task will
become more difficult after the 18th of
this month, when the bill will be taken
up in the Senate for debate. Promi.
nent republicans in the House show no
hesitation in saying that the House
wonld refuse to agree to the bill in its
present shape, and friends Of President
Mckinley say that he would veto it,
if 1t passed as it now is. 1t is evident
that hard tariff fight is ahead, and,
surprising as it may sound, the bitterest
fighting is going to be between republi
cans who will in the end vote for the
bill.
