theatrical entertainment and it can
be truthfully said that the Mackay

rEiShap on the Rails.

An unfortunate accident befell
George S. Schempf Saturday afternoon
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railway, while he was taking his daily

his right leg was caught under the

several men in the yards, who hur

carried him to the Junction hotel.
The flow Of blood from the wound was
stopped and Drs Moulding, Whyte

PLAYED a Tie Game,

The football game at Waukesha
Saturday between the teams of Carroll
college and Sacred Heart college re-
suited in a tie, each team scoring II
points. It was a good, clean contest
and showed the vast improvement
Sacred Heart has made under the
guidance of an experienced coach.
Sundays Sentinel gives the following
account of the game: The game was
called at 2:30 and Sacred Hearts
kicked of. Carroll captured the ball
and made large gains, but lost the
ball on q tumble. The visitors went
down the field by hard work up
against the Carroll line and at the
end Of the first ten minutes Of play
Hanley Of the Sacred Hearts was
forced through the line for q touch
down. O'Malley kicked goal. Carroll
kicked off and the visitors held the
ball for three downs. Carroll braced
up and worked the center for gains to
the visitors 15-yard line Tt was lost
here by a decision on the part of the
umpire that Carroll held one of the
opposing players. It was recovered
by Carroll after three downs, and
Dixon was sent through the line from
the visitors 3yard line, for touch
down. He kicked goal and tied the
score for the first half The second
half Carroll kicked off and recovered
the ball on a tumble. In twelve minutes
Dixon was again sent through for a
score and a goal was added The
Sacred Hearts kicked off. Carroll
found it and made short gain, and
worked it back to the visitors terri

DOlNGS OF CITY FATHERS.
Tive Meetings Held Within the Current
Week.

just a quorum was present at the
regular meeting of the common coun-
Gil last evening, the mayor and Alder
men Bramer, Burke, Dunigan and
jacob being absent. President Vert
heimer was in the chair.
A claim amounting to $52 was pre-
sented by G. e. Heyn for injury to a
horse, damage to harness and veterin-
ary surgeon services. 1t is alleged
that the horse fell into the sewer
trench near Stapleton's drug store on
November II, and that said accident
was caused through neglect in proper
ly safeguarding the opening. The
claim was referred to the judiciary
committee.
Mrs. Samuel Werth presented
claim for 500 damages against the
city on account of being run into by a
bicycle rider on Sixth street side
walk last July. Also referred to the
judiciary committee.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the levying of a special tax amounting
to $1.207.80 to pay for street sprink-
ling the past season.

DISTRIBUTION OF BURDENS

AS previously announced in these col
umns and animadverted upon, the house
committee on appropriations for week
past has had under consideration bill to
increase the government revenues to a
sum corresponding with war necessities,
which are said already to absorb round
million dollars per diem. Representative
Sayers of Texas, minority member of the
committee, has made an unsuccessful
effort, at the several meetings held, to
have incorporated in this measure pro-
vision taxing incomes. Failing in this
endeavor he yesterday introduced bill
in the house imposing a tax on incomes
and providing for its collection. This
bill will, of course, go to the same COM
mittee, but will probably not reach it
until after it shall have reported the bill
that has been under consideration. The
Sayers bill will eventually be reported
adversely, if reported at all, and as to
this, much will depend upon the temper
of the house as the war progresses and

SOUTH SEA SENSATION

There Is trouble in Hawaii. President
Dole has presented an account against
the treasury for the expenses of his jaunr
to the United States, in the interest of
annexation, and the native taxpayers
are bowling. 1t calls for $1,000, and in
cludes the item of $500 donated for the
families of the victims Of the Maine OBJ
lection is not so much made to the do
nation as to the manner of it. The pres
ident got all the credit. His personal
benevolence was heralded from the At
lantc to the Pacific, and was waited on
the balmy zephyrs of the South Sea to
the remotest inhabited section of the is
land republic. A mighty protest has
gone up against the auditing Of this item.
and the more courageous subjects de-
mand that Mr.. Dole go down into his in
side pocket for the funds so lavishly ex-
pended in the purchase of fame in the
United States. The end is not yet. Roman
republics went to pieces upon rocks much
like this.

the necessity for taxing the ordinary

more imperative.
court, declaring an income tax unconsti-
| tutional, it will be remembered, failed to
receive the approval of the country, and
was combated by many distinguished
jurists of both political parties as un-
sound. Associate Justice Brown. in dis
senting from the decision, made this pro-
phetic declarations: II fear that in some
hour of national peril this decision may
rise up to paralyze the arm Of the gov
ernment." 1t may not be easy to recog-
nize the imminence Of that "hour of ma
tional peril" and yet, at the very
threshold of war which may severely
tax the resources of the people before Ii
is ended, consideration of how the bur-
dens it will impose shall be distributed
is eminently proper. And the justice, no
less than the legality, of tax upon in
comes should not be lost sight Of. The
highest court in the land has declared
that specific law adopted by congress
was unconstitutional, and that decision,
sound or unsound will stand; nor has
any person, in or out of congress, pro-
posed that the same law shall be re-
enacted. But it is held by more than
one jurist of national eminence that, con-
ceding it to be sound, it does not follow
that a bill may not be framed which
Twill stand the test crucible of analyti-
cal examination" and pass the severest
judicial scrutiny. We think the effort
should be made at all hazards. We be-
lieve the people would like to see it made.
A supreme court, representing all shades
of political opinions in this country, up
held an income tax law more than
third Of a century. Is the new light
illuminating the present tribunal more
trustworthy or less liable to error?
AS to the equities of the proposition
we may not do better than to quote an
epigrammatic gem from the recent speech
Of William Jennings Bryan at the JEFF
ferson birthday dinner at Washington:
The government could so to the mother
and take the son upon which she de-
pended. The government could go to
the wife and take from her side the
husband. But the government could
not lay its hand upon the fortunes of the
rich and make those fortunes contrib
ute to its support
Keeping in view the objections upon
which the decision of the supreme court
were based, it may not be impossible,
nor yet even difficult, to find some way
to compel capital to pay its just pro-
portion of the expenses Of carrying on
the nation, of defending flag and country.

In the war with Spain there will be

what they say may possibly be taken as
expressive of popular feeling. We are
in the conflict. and rightfully in it. We
must go through with it in triumph, and
the administration must be made to un-
derstand that there can be no backing

SPAIN PRACTICALLY oUTLAWED

The United States was not party to
the agreement of Paris" entered into
by several of the great powers in 1856,
not because the departure was too ad-
vanced, but because it did not go far
enough. 1t is fair to presume that Spain
entirely different motives. 1t has ever
been a pirate nation, and it could not be
expected to sign away long-cherished
prerogative of preying upon commerce
agreement is confirmed by the enlight-
ened spirit of the age, and the refusal of
Spain to be governed by it now will re-
act with terrible force. Any violation Of
speedily arouse the indignation of the
commercial interests OF neutral nations
and more than minimize the sympathy
which some of them already manifest for
their cause. The United States, by no
tifying the powers of its purpose to ad
here strictly to the letter and spirit Of
the agreement has already provoked the
most favorable criticism of the con-
tnental press, and ELECTED cheers from
the benches in the British house of COM
mons. 1t was a masterpiece of states
manship, sure to bear good fruit. 1t will
serve to heighten the alertness of neutral
nations, and guarantee a more rigid en-
forcement by them of the laws governing
the situation

TABLES TO BE TURNED

The plan Of campaign, 8 outlined by
General Miles, comprehends the virtual
shutting up of the Spaniards in Havana.
A federal fleet will seal that and all other
ports connected with it by rail, and the
now hopeful and inspirted insurgents,
the states, will form a Gordon about the
beleaguered city. General Blanco and
his regulars and volunteers and civilian
sympathizers are likely soon to feel the
reconcentration-a purely Spanish in
vention-and to realize what it really
means. Weeks and months may pass
before they experience the terrors that
thrifty American merchants have been
responding with alacrity to eliminating
Spanish necessities, and the city is
doubtless adequately provisioned for a
more or less protracted period. But
there must be an end to their compla
cence, and with the shrinking Of the
visible supply of provisions will come the
inevitable pressure from within to yield
into history with Agincourt, Lucknow,
Petersburg and Vicksburg. In the mean
time, the ports on the eastern coast of
the island will be left open for the re-
ception of supplies for the reconcentra-
dos, a wise provision for safeguarding
them from starvation. "a mighty maze,
but not without plan"
