Trouble In Far In6ia-

LONDON, July 3.-The outburst of
anti-English feeling in the native
press. both of Bengal and Bombay, for
months past, has had the outcome
which might have been expected, N the
outrages at Poonah and the rioting at
Chitpore Though there is no doubt
that the immediate cause of this was
the energy with which the local au-
thorities have been stamping out the
bubonic plague, some times necessitat-
ing interference with the social rela-
tions, customs and traditions of the
natives, still the disaffection would not
have become acute except for the ac-
tivity and malicious accusations of un-
scrupulous agitators who melted the
fanatics to vengeance against individ
uals and to revolt against the Govern
ment.

THE NEWS.

The last word from the outer
world, by the Gaelic, is quite as
favorable to Hawaii as could be
expected. The definite adoption
by the Senate, of the House clause
in the Tariff Bill, eXempting Ha-
waiian products from duty, settles
that question for the present IN
accordance with the terms of the
Reciprocity Treaty. Whether an
nexation is or is not acted on at the
regular session, next December,
that question is not likely to arise
again very soon.
But, although there was little
discussion on the matter, both
Jones of Arkansas and White of
California favoring abrogation of
reciprocity, the House clause was
adopted. The lack of discussion,
and action without division was
because of the general conviction
that the real question at issue is an
nexation. When that treaty comes
before the Senate an exhaustive
and interesting discussion may be
expected. 1t is nearly certain that
the annexation treaty will go over
to the regular session.

in both houses, was finally adopted
as the law of the land. If honestly
carried out, it will result in cons
siderable gain to the public exhe-
quer,-perhaps sufficient to enable
the Republic of Hawaii to reduce
its national debt to $4,0OO,00O-
the amount to which the treaty of
annexation limits the liability of
the United States Government, in
the transfer of sovereignty, in case
of ratification by the Senate.

THE NEW INCOME TAX LAW.

Some days since, we published
full digest of this new law. Since
then. the assessment blank has been
distributed throughout the coun-
try, with the law in full. With
the view of throwing little light
on this new mode of raising funds,
new to Hawaii-we give its
principal points below, remarking
that it is entirely distinct from the
property tax, which is still in force,
the blanks for which are yet to be
issued.
This law was passed during the
last session of the Legislature, held
in 1896, alsl went into operation on
the first day of July, 1897. In
comes in Hawaii have never before
been taxed, the old laws having
specified only real and personal
property as taxable. The first sec
ton of the laws reads, in part:
From and after the sfrsti day of July,
A d. 1897, there shall be levied, as
sessed, collected and paid annually up
on the gains, profits and income de-
rived by every person residing in the
Republic, and by every person resid-
ing without the Republic, from all
property owned, and every business,
trade, profession, employment or voca-
ton carried on in the Republic, and by
every servant or officer of the Republic,
wherever residing, tax of one per
cent. on the amount so derived, pro-
vided that while the gains, profits or
income of any such person who resides
within the Republic, or of any servant
or officer of the Republic wherever re-
siding shall not have exceeded the sum
of Four Thousand Dollars for the pre-
ceding twelve months, only so much of
such gains, profits or income as ex-
ceeds the sum of Two Thousand Dol
lars, shall be liable to such tax
Under this law, if man possess
es an income of four thousand dol
lars per annum, and the whole of
his income is spent as fast as re-
ceived, he is obliged to pay on one
half of it, the tax amounting to
twenty dollars.
There are eight sections to the
new law. The first quoted in part
above, applies to office holders un-
der the Government residing here
or abroad, as we'll as to all individ-
uals who have salaries. The tax
applies to the year ending June 80,
1897.
Section 2 refers to corporations,
which shall pay the same tax-one
per cent. annually the net pro-
fits or income above actual operat-
ing and business expenses from all
property owned, and every busi-
ness, trade employment or voca-
ton carried on in the Republic, of
all corporations doing business for
profit in the Republic of Hawaii,
"no matter how or where created |
and organized" ETC., with certain
exceptions of charitable, religious,
fraternal and other associations
specified in it.

thod of estimating incomes, which
include notes, bonds and other Sc
curities of every kind, sales of real
estate, and all other gains, profits,
and incomes derived from any
source whatever. All necessary ex-
penses actually incurred may be
deducted, with some exceptions
specified. Dividends received by
individuals from corporations
which have paid their taxes are not
required to be reported as incomes,
nor are they taxable, nor is any
gift or inheritance or sums derived
from sources that have already been
taxed.
Section 4 relates to all business
corporations of every kind, which
are required to make full returns
between the first and thirty first
days of August. These returns will
cover the twelve months ending
June 30th last, and call for the
gross receipts from sales at home
and abroad of every kind and ma
ture. The expenses for the same
period, the net profits, the amount
paid on account of interest, annui-
ties and dividends separately, and
the amounts paid for salaries.
Section 5 relates to incomes ex-
ceeding fifteen hundred dollars,
also to guardians, trustees, eXecu-
tors, administrators, etc. 'But per-
sons having an income of fifteen
hundred dollars or a less amount,
are not required to make such re-
port" Under this section, any
person or corporation or any resi-
dent manager of any foreign cor
poration is required to make full
1
returns of the business, under GER
ktain penalties for noncompliance
with the terms of the law.
Section requires all corpora
tions to keep regular and accurate
books of account, in which all
transactions shall be entered in re-
gular order, and in case of refusal
or neglect to do so, the assessor is
authorized to make such returns as
he may be able to do, from such
data as he can obtain, adding one
hundred per cent. to his estimate
which ''shall then be the lawful as
sessment of such income and shall
not be subject to appeal"
Section Z relates to failure or
refusal to return the assessment
blank, as we'll as to faulty state
ments. The assessor is authorized
in such cases, to make a return
according to the best information
that he can obtain" and in case of
any false or fraudulent return, the
assessor is authorized to add 200
per cent. to such tax. Any person
or corporation feeling aggrieved
at the assessors returns, may ap-
peal to the tax appeal court, which
holds it's session in October of each
year.
Section s names the fifteenth
day of November, when the taxes
on incomes shall be due and pay
able. If not then paid, a penalty
of ten per cent. will be payable
on the whole amount due, with
nine per cent. per annum interest
added after that date until paid.
The main points of the income
law are given here simply to call
the attention of the taxpayers to
its requirements, the principal
items in which are here pointed
out. An income tax is a new de-
parture here in Hawaii, and will
naturally meet with much disfavor.
1t was, however fully discussed in
the last legislature, and after pro
longed debates and postponements

Cures
"Cures talk " in favor sEEE "a
of Hoods Sarsaparilia, s. . II

cine. Its great cures recorded in truthful,
convincing language of grateful men and
women, constitute its most effective ad-
vertisins. Many of these cures are mar
velous. They have won the confidence of
the people; have given Hoods Sarsapa-

have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hoods
Sarsspar1lla is known by the cures it has

My little nephew was a plump and
healthy baby until year and half old
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. physician said the trouble was

became one complete sore. We had to

DIAMOND DUST.

Is Billy Goeckel being knocked?
Here's what the Wilkes Barre Times
says about it: There are rumors In
base ball circles hereabout. The at
mosphere is thick with them. One is
specially interesting. 1t is to the effect
that several players have taken a dis
like to the genial Billy Goeckel No one
can tell why Billy is unpopular with
the other members OF the team, but
such seems to be the fact. At least
rumor says so. They're knocking him
as the saying goes-which is under
standable English means that they are
taking every opportunity to throw nim
down in the eyes of Powell and the
managing directors. Some say it's be-
cause Billy refuses to be tough; don't
like to sit in midnight pinochle games
and games that are not quite so inno-
cent and harmless and in which the
chips that pass in the night cut a
somewhat observable figure: and that
he never irrigates to such an extent
as to awake in the morning with
very nauseating dark brown taste in
his mouth. In other words they are
making faces at Billy because he is
playing the game for all there is in 1t,
into good society and participates in
pleasures that are ennobling; music
and conversation and all that which
elevates rather than degrades. Billy
is a college boy and can hold his own
in the best of society. He believes he
can be a ball player and at the same
time live as men should who desire
to associate with the better classes.
Others don't believe that way, This
difference of opinion has caused the
friction spoken of. And some one, or
two, or three, maybe more, are putting
Billy through a course of sprouts
some would call it discipline. VIII
they whip him into line? Not much!
He's too level-headed, and will be in
the game and earning a good salary
when those who are trying to knock
him are walking ties and scanning the
horizon for something to do. The 9TH
ers better fall in.
