SIMS there can be but one out come. and that WiiI be the affirmation of the decisions.
 Both decisions arc eminently right said Nr. Russell. and in announcing them Judge Brown was never in doubt. nor was he sVayed by the opinons and theories advanced by the defense as ro why rhe act was unconstitutional. or tha. t did no, take effect or was not eutorcible thr present year.
 "1hr EuabIr- Act expressly per mlts the Territorial Legislature to levy taxation for the purpose of its existence. nor does lr limit the Legis- latu~e as to the source from which ,bc taxes shall be derived. No limit. is placed upon the time within which the taxes shall be levied. or the man uer in which they shall be collected, leaving those matters entirely within the discretion of the Territorial Legis- l1tUre. The Legislature haEml eNer- ciscd ft- judgment in that regard. and haviu- acted wholly within its powers, the Circuit Court of Appeals will not hesitate to affirm the action of Judge Brown in holding the act legal and enforceable.
 The taku. of these appeals. to- -ejher with tine 'curb-stoue arguments.' udulged in in connection with them 10 the effect that these decisions cau- aot stand. may influence others to cfadc the payment of the tax. If it should have that effect it is to be re 4retted. as it can only result in bring ing eri-f 70 such misguided persons The law Is here. and it is here to stay and any person liable to the tax who refuses to pay it will most assuredly be punished as the act provides"

HISTORIC N0TRE DAME.
Cheekered Career Of the Wonderful
Partisan Cathedral.

Some account of the history and
vicissitudes of Notre Dame appears in
the London Strand Magazine. The
first cathedral was erected in the year
52S by Childebert and afterwam de-
moilshed, the same site being used for
the present building. which was begun
in 1853 and finished in 1851.
Alexander III. laid the foundation
stone. the first mass being celebrated
by the patriarch Heraclius. The grand
old building has been sorely beset by
many dangers and has witnessed many
strange and stirring scenes.
The reign of terror in 1893 led to
such disgraceful orgies within the pre-
cincts of the cathedral that it was
closed to the public as a place of di-
vine worship in 1874, but was reopen
ed in 1902 by Napoleon. The interior
has suffered severely at times at the
hands of the mob and individuals.
The worst offender was perhaps Louis
XIV. who, carrying out his fathers
vow, caused the destruction of the
fourteenth century stalls, the high al
tar embeliished with gold and silver
statuettes, the cloisters, tombs and
unique stained glasswork. In 1916
restoration was necessary in many
parts of the building. the work being
successfully undertaken by Lassus.
Violet lie Due and Boes willwald.
= In 1871, also during the commune.
Notre Dame was menaced with grave
dangers owing to the fury of the
communists, who, having effected an
entrance, collected all the available
chairs and other combustible material
and, piling them in a bonfire, drench-
ed with oil in the center of the choir.
attempted to destroy the cathedral
by fire. The evil designs of the in
cendiaries were. however, happily
frustrated by the arrival of the ma
tional guard. - -~~~s -.
