Bribery Charges.

the statement that the city solicitor had
been approached and offered money to
give ~ favorable opinion on the PROPOSE
ton to bond certain saloon keepers. are
matters OF too serious n nature to BIO
passed over with mere expression Of
Indignation.
1t has been pretty well known that
attempts have been made before to
bride councllmen by this impudent class
o. law breakers, but Tuesday night was
the first time those approached have
made definite statements. This methods
employed by this deplorahla class Of
citizens to secure privileges to dehauch
the community show how desperate
they are In their determination to at
tempt to override the decent and or
derby sentiments of the people Of
wheeling. There should be i most
searching investigation by council, and
an inquiry by the grand jury. Further

Il would appear to most people that
Senator Clark's tears were somewhat
belated. The sentimental stage In his
case has long since been passed. II
Senator Clark is as innocent OF wrong
doing rs he wishes the public to believe
why did he not face the issue instead Of
resIgning? The only way n man can
escape the penalties for his crimes when
he is confined In jail is by breaking out.
Senator Clark escaped punishment by
resIgnlng. There is little difference be-
tween the two cases. Besides Senator
Clark took very opportune time for
resIgning, time when he knew the
governor OF his state. who was opposed
TO him, was away, and that the lleuten-
ant governor. who belonged TO his fac
ton OF corruptionists. would appoint
him TO fiji the vacancy. This action
does not look like Mr. Clark Is MS lnno-
cont as he claims to be. II was trick
to escape the force OF the condemnation
of the senate, whose committee was all
most unanimous in bringing in report
declaring that HIS seat BIZ declared va
cant. OF course the action OF the scn-
ate was of tremendous import TO Mr..
Clark. but that body could not afford %
stultify itself by admitting to It's pres
cnce man who had been so thorough
Iy disqualified MS was Mr.. Clark
The present aspect Of the case pre-
gents some difficult problems, md 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Mr.. Clark can
escape his Just deserts through reslgna-
ton and appointment. He is Just az
much dIscredltcd to-day as no was yns-
terday. and II is exceedingly doubtful

people who Will question this statement,

not address itself, but It would like TO
impress upon the fair and honest-mind-
ed portion of the citizens OF this state
that the expression used in the above
quotation from the Registers editorial,
IN referring to Mr.. Hail, excluding
from HIS paper news unfavorable to
his cause" is wholly and unqualIhedly
false. This is said as much in justice
to Mr., Hall as tits to set the Intelllg m
Ger right before those people who are
pleased to have some confidence in its
integrity and fairness.

An Important Decision.

The decision OF the United States SUI
preme court, declaring the legacy tax
law passed by Congress, with all It's
provisions for progressivU taxation.
constitutional, is one of the most I'M
portant deliveries of that body which
has been handed down for some years
past. OF the three points authoritn-
lively established by the court the first
and most important is the acceptance
of the progressive or cumulative prIRcl-
pie in taxation. The second is the &C.
.newed assertion of the right Of the fed
eral government to tax SUGGESTIONS In
spite Of the fact thai the transmission
of property by death is exclusively n
subject of state Jurisdiction. Third. the
court holds that u legacy tax is not a
direct tax" and therefore Is not re-
qulred by the constitution to be appor-
toned among the states according to
population.
In commenting on the conclusions
reached by the court the Philadelphia
Press asserts that "as the federal lega-
cy tax is limited to personal property
none OF these conclusions applies to the
transmission Of realty; but the decision
establishes the general principle that as
far as personal property Is concerned
the weight of taxation may vary with
the amount of property.
OF these conclusions by far and by
odds the most important is the first.
The decision of the court was indeed
foreshadowed by It's finding in the IllI-
nois legacy tax case two years ago. Mr..
Justice McEenna held in that case thu.
the Illinois law did not deny the equal
rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth
Amendment, though the exemption
clause was $500 for distant kin and S2q :
900 for near and the tax rose for the
former with the size Of the estate from
8 to per cent. While this decision es-
tablished the Interpretation Of the Illi-
nois constitution, this only requires uni-
formlty in taxation "as to the class
upon which 1t operates" The federal
constitution puts no limitation on uni
FORM laNalluu' me suPlelue SuulS ~
this state held that the exemption OF
$1,000 in the direct Inheritance act rem
dered 1t invalid as granting an uncou-
stltutional exemption. The federal sta
tute exempts legacIes under $4,000. SUI
preme courts in Missouri, Ohio, Mlnne-
sofa and New Hampshire have on varI-
Gus grounds held cumulative taxation
on lcgacies unconstitutional within e
few years.
The law on the subject could, there
fore, by no means be held to be certain
in this country until the decision just
made. 1t is sure enough now, The court
accepts all three phases OF the law-the
exemption below n certain amount,
whose effect 1t greatly increases; the
classification by psnplnqulty of kin.wIth
an increasing percentage as the rela-
tionship to the deceased decreases. and
IN increasing tax with Increasing prop
erty. All three the court holds TO Ee
uniform" under the constitution Such
a decision is undoubtedly popular nnd
agrees with the general trend OF public
oplnloE."

The Holly chieftain., 1900-02-09
CHAPTER vI.-(continued,.


The gang he was with had returned
for another load. Rob heard them
muttering among themselves, and he
looked up to see the cause. He was
amazed, and felt thrill of terror rush
over him, for there, standing With Cap
tain Elvin and Torrevo, engaged in
earnest conversation. was Lemuel
Starne
Now Rob thought surely he would be
killed. He thought he now understood
some of the hatred he had incurred
Starne, Elvin and the captain of the
Black Cat were all in one gang
Therefore. II Starne had any reason
to wish his death, the others must
have the same reason.
There was no way to escape them
now. He could not turn back.
When they were taking up their
loads Torrevo rushed out and beat Rob
with his ropes end SO that poor Rob
kept his face bent down almost to the
ground till he got clear of his tor
mentor, which was not until he was
part way up the ridge.
The boys heart was broken with
grief and terror. What should he do?
To continue in this way was simply to
be killed. Was there no hope OF es-
cape. He went into the caverns again,
and this time the black interior seemed
to the tortured fellow like haven of
rest. And when the gang turned to
leave a sudden inspiration came to
Rob. He knew that the last of the
cargo was not on its way to the cave.
1t was possible that he would not be
missed II he did not return. With no
definite purpose, except to escape the
blows and curses of Torrevo, he darted
away from the gang and hid in black
recess behind a pile of bales of to-
bacco.
The men came in with their bur-
dens, and then went out. Those who
went out now did not return again.
The last of the contraband cargo was

and cheeriness. All was dark and
damp and dismal
In his aimless wanderings, Rob's feet
struck against something, and he at
once thought of the torches the men
had used when they brought in the
goods. The thing he had kicked
sounded like one of these. He stopped
and picked it up. 1t was just what
he thought 1t was-a torch made of
some kind OF soft stun like cotton
waste, wrapped on bar of iron and
soaked in oil. The odor from 1t show
ed that 1t had been recently used
probably by the men who had been
with him.
But smothered torch gives no light.
and Rob could not feel that he was
any better off than before, He had
never learned to smoke, and therefore
carried no matches. II he only had
match!
Suddenly 1t occurred to him that he
did not have on his own clothes, but
the fantastic garments given him by
Captain Torreyo, of the BLACK Cat"
Instinctively he felt in the pockets of
his velvet jacket.
First he brought out package of
Spanish cigarettes, which he threw
away. not having any use for them,
In another pocket-oh. Joy! he dis
covered a box of matches. 1t was
something to wear the jacket Of a
smoker, after all.
With feverishly trembling fingers.
Rob lighted match and applied 1t to
the torch. In an instant 1t burst Into
fame and lit up the gloomy cavern
around him. The smoky flame, while

in. The last blask fellow had gone.
The caverns were as still as death, ex-
cept for the trickling water on the
rocky walls. Rob cruched in his
to him almost an entire day.
His limbs ached. His face was sore
from Torrevo's blows. His hands had
swollen from the excessive labor he
had performed. The weariness at last
overcame him. First he fought against
the drowsiness, then welcomed 1t, for
1t brought with it forgetfulness of his
troubles. He found some bales of
cloth, took them into his hiding place,
and lay down upon them. Soon he was
fast asleep.
How long the boy slept he did not
know. But he awoke at last with a
start, and wondered how long he had
been there. He left his nook and went
toward the entrance to the caverns.
Then he made a discovery that made
his heart almost stand STILL
The entrance had been closed with
great stone.
He was locked in.
