to shield its Observation-Disclosures Item
The city of Chicago has been defrauded
during the last few years In the water de-
partment to an amount estimated as high
as s, 000. 900. The Democratic papers might
take this up in the same manner In which
they have taken up the Nicely case and
hold Chicago up to the world as den
of thieves instead of the victim of thieves
who go where the booty is.-Terre Haute
Express.
One of the best signs in the selection of
young Dick Yates as the Republican
candidate for Governor in Illinois. where
preceding the convention there was a great
deal of bad fractional feeling. is that each
faction II now claiming that ii brought
every Republican in Illinois will heartily
support Yates and he will be elected.
-Terre Haute Tribune.
And now John w. Kern is said to be
candidate for Governor before the Demo-
cratic convention. Mr.. Kern will not be
nominated. He is too strong to head a
Democratic ticket in Indiana. He is not a
fusionist, but an old-lne Democrat. He is
brave and self-sacrificing, but he is march
ing to defeat. He is much too heavy intel
lectually for his party as it stands to-day.
Marion News.
b. Frank Shively has voiced reason for
keeping out of politics that ought TO be
more frequently assigned. He says he can
not afford the time nor expense. Not one
man in twenty who goes into political con-
tests can afford the time expense, IL he
would only sit down and count the cost of
a campaign in the event of defeat. But the
trouble with most is that they never see
defeat, and count the returns of success
as the offset for all cost.-Elkhart Review.
If the men who regarded lead
ers of Democratic opinion in Indiana would
all talk in public they do in private,
the voice of this State would presently
command attention throughout the Union.
Its effect would be more than that 1T would
be hailed as the bugle blast of political
reason and rouse to action thousands upon
thousands of Democrats who believe in the
teachings of Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden
and who will never forsake these teachings

Of populism.-South Bend Times.
The Tom Taggart machine is determined
to have it's way in the coming Democratic

The decisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States In regard to the validity
of inheritance taxes. reported in Tuesdays
Journal, have an interesting aspect aside
from the legal principle established. This
principle is that the United States or any
State may impose tax on the passage
of property by inheritance or bequest. and
that such tax applies to government bonds
the same as to other forms of property
The decisions sustain the validity of the
legacy tax provisions of the United States
internal revenue law of 1898, commonly
known as the war revenue law. and also
of the New York law on the same subject
The United States law imposes graded
taxes on all legacies in the five cases fol-
lowing:
/. Where the person or persons entitled
to beneficial interest shall be the lineal
issue or lineal ancestor. brother or sister
of deceased.
2. Where the person or persons entitled
to beneficial interest shall be the descend
ant of a brother or sister.
3. Where the person or persons entitled
to any beneficial interest shall be the
brother or sister of the father or mother
or a descendant of a brother or sister OF
4. Where the person or persons entitled
TO beneficial interest shall be the brother
or sister OF the grandfather or grand
mother or a descendant of the brother or
sister of the grandfather or grandmother.
5. Where the person or persons entitled
10 beneficial interest shall be person of
any other degree of collateral consanguin-
ity or a stranger in blood or a body polite
or corporation.
The taxes imposed are graded according
to the degree of relationship and the
amounts involved. the rule being that the
more remote the relationship and the
larger the inheritance the heavier is the
tax. A legacy from husband to wife is
exempt. as also are all requests of less
than $4,000. All others are taxed. For in
stance, in the case of a bequest from a
father to a child or from a brother to a
sister when the whole amount exceeds &c.
600 and does not exceed $4,000 the tax is
IS cents on each 500. If the bequest is to a
nephew or niece. IL the whole amount ex-
ceeds $4,000 and does not exceed $4,000 the
tax is $3.50 on each $780, And so the rate
of taxation increases with the remoteness
OF relationship until In the class numbered
five, when the whole amount exceeds $10.-
coo and does not exceed $4,000 the tax is
| s. on each 500. In the case Of a bequest
OF 100000 from father to child the tax IL

paragraph is going around to the effect
that the cost of seeing everything on the
grounds of the Paris fair will not be less
than $40, and may be nearly twice that
sum Similar stories were circulated at the
beginning of the Chicago fair. but all that
was really worth looking at inside the
grounds was open to those who paid their
gate money. For those who felt it neces-
sary to patronize all the attractions OF the

Those who thought that in announcing
his candidacy for Governor Mr.. Kern would
define his position on any of the great ques-
tions of the day are disappointed. He does
not define anything except his consent to
stand for the Democratic nomination. For
the rest his statement is as definite as
might be expected from a politician more
distinguished for the variety of his views
than for the strength of his convictions.
Mr.. Kern is a clean and amiable gentle
man. but that is no reason why he should
not inform the public which set of views he
has discarded on the money question and
which set he still holds. He lodges the
question by saying that he will leave 1t to
the State convention to define his views,
and he seems to feel assured 1t can do so
better than he can He says he has mo
fear but that the duty will be performed
faithfully and WELL and to my entire salts
faction" 1t is evident that Mr.. Kern does
not propose to take any chances by enter
tanning premature convictions.

Referring to the visit of "Citizen" Genet
to this country in 1888. when he tried to
embroil the United States in with
Great Britain and was recalled at the re-
quest of Washington, the Sentinel makes
lnvidious comparisons between Washington
and Mckinley. 1t. however. omits one
point of historical record, namely. that
Washingtons secretary of state. Thomas
Jefferson. was an open sympathizer with
the French revolutionists and a secret plot
ter against Washington. President McKin-
ley has at least this advantage of WASH
own political household and that his Sec
rotary of state is not trying to thwart his
foreign policy.

It is with profound regret and sincere
sorrow that the Journal finds itself obliged
to retract it's unqualified Endorsement of
the official rectitude OF Mr.. E. P Thomp-
son. postmaster at Havana. The Journal
said yesterday that nothing but the most
lndisputable proof could make IL or any of
his friends In this city believe that Mr.
Thompson had been guilty OF any official
Irregularity or wrongdoing. That proof
seems to be furnished by his written adj
mission that he has done thing prohib-
tied by law and technically criminal. Ac-
cording to his statement he. in September
last. being in need OF money. took s4s5
from the money order funds of the Havana
Office giving his memorandum as a re-
ceipt for the same and intending. of course.
to replace IT, The transaction was kept
concealed and carried along until April 7.
more than six months. when IT was dis
covered No doubt Mr.. Thompson would
eventually have made the amount good.

an Incorporated charity would be taxed
force since July /, 1895. and the Supreme
Court holds that 1t is valid in every re-
spect and applies to all inheritances or be-
quests since that date. The validity OF the
law has been attacked with great ingenuity
and force by eminent attorneys employed
by those who resisted payment of the
taxes, but the decision is against them on
every point. The law officers of the gov
eminent say the cases decided involve sew
eral millions of dollars. A point of special
court the tax applies to a bequest of gov
ernmens bonds the same as any other
property, the court holding that the tax is
not on the bonds but on their transmission
or conveyance. This is distinction that
any person can understand.
Aside from the legal effect of the de-
cision it has a popular aspect of interest.
1t is often charged that the Supreme Court
and all the courts are always on the side
of capital, yet here we have the highest

heritance tax on every dollar that passes

legatee. The present law exempts $4,000.
but 1t would be valid just the same If it
made exemption whatever. The de-
cision will cover the case of every bequest
of $4,000 or more to any other relative than
wife or husband that has been made since

constitutional and legal grounds without
bias or prejudice for or against any class

In deciding the cases arising under the
inheritance tax law the Supreme Court
came right up to the question of the polit-
ical status of Porto Rico and came near
indicating its view. One of the points made
against the inheritance tax was that it
was not uniform and, therefore, violated
the provision of the Constitution which re-
quires that ''all duties. imposts and excuses
shall be uniform throughout the United
States.' In reply to this contention Justice
White, speaking for the court, held tina.
the constitutional requirement related to
geographical uniformity" He said:
Considering the text it is apparent that
. IL the word uniform" means equal and
uniform in the sense now asserted by the
opponents of the tax the words through
out the United States are deprived of all
real significance. and sustaining the con-
tention, must hence lead to a disregard Of
the elementary canon of construction which
requires that effect be given to each word
of the Constitution. One of the most salts
factory answers to the argument that the
uniformity required by the Constitution is
the same as the equal and uniform clauses
which have since been embodied in so many
OF the State constitutions results from
review of the practice under the Constitu-
ton from the beginning. From the very
first Congress down to the present date in
levying duties imposts and excuses the rule
of inherent uniformity, or, in other words.
intrinsically equal and uniform taxes, has
been disregarded and the principle of
geographical uniformity consistently en-
forced.
The phrase geographical uniformity is
new. The court seemed to imply by it that
the United States must be considered as an
entirety. embracing not merely the or
ganized States. but all the domain owned
by the United States
