THE INCOME TAX DECISION. After a lorn wait tho Supreme Court I of the United States gave its decision regarding the constitutionality of tho income tax law as passed at tin- last session of Congress. It lias by a vote of six to two decided that so nmeh of tho law is unconstitutional and void as iovides for taxing the rents and protitt- of real estate, and tho interest on state and mun cipal bonds. It was not deeided that Congress eould not tax real estate, but that if it did, tax must bo apportioned among the several stated according to their population, which tl is law does not do. The whole business is calculated to give the American people a general disgust and contempt for law makers, judges of courts, and matters relating to courts in general.
By this decisiou tho very individuals it was calculated to be compelled to pay this tax and wh are best able to ilo so are exempt, and tho burden falls on others. For instance the Astors, of New York, the Eniorys ot Cincinnati, English of this State, and hundreds of others of well-to-do landlords all over tho country who receive thousands upon thousands of dollars yearly from their rents, are exempt and will not have to pay one cent of income from that source. Our Congress is composed very generally of lawyers, and the question is, why did it not discover this alleged illegal feature bofore it.-, passage and save time, trouble and expense. If in the abstract each individual should pay a tax in proportion to his wealth over and above £4,000. why not enact such a law. Many millionaires of the country by this decision will pay no more than those worth not one-tenth as much. But fairness, equity and justice do not distinguish all our laws nor their execution. This decision is clearly to the advantage of tho woll-to do over many not so highly prosperous. And tho question will come up was not that the intention really all along? Somehow or other it would seetn that almost all laws tending to otTect the pecuniary interests the enormously wealthy can almost always be discovered to be unconstitutional. Why it is. only tho jugglers of law know, but others have decided opinions on the matter. The question is can any law be enacted by Congress which will tax every person in proportion to his possessions. In this grasping ai:e for pow^r. for wraith and influence, in these times of corrupt political intrigues, it is doubtful if such a law can be enacted. Later decisions in our courts seem to indicate this.
ATTACKING TOWNSHIP TAXA-
TI0N.
A suit hits been instituted at Evaneville which may be of interest to tho tax payers of other cities. For years the county board has levied a tax to be paid by tax payers of the city for township purposes. This year tho lovy is IS cents on each ?100 worth of property. Nobody ever thought of opposing this levy, until s..ine time auo. when at a meeting of the business Ab ns' Association, a railroad ollieial called attention to the matter, stating that ho had examined the law, and he believed the tax to be illegal. The city council then took up the matter, but found, after due consideration, that it was not within its province to take legal stepj. with a view of prevent ing the collection of the tax. Jt was then decided that the Business Men's Association should proceed, and now the president of this body, together with a prominent manufacturer, has brought suit against the county treasurer and auditor to prevent them from collecting the tax. The complaint states that tin- authorities have no right to assess the tax pay it of the city for other than State, county and municipal purposes, and that property within the city limits is not subject to taxation for township purposes, the same being within the exclusive jurisdiction of a municipal "orporation.
It bases his iiopcs and prospects for nomination for President by his parly solely on his former championship of a high protective tarilT, he is sailing ina v.-ry frail bark. Taritl" issues and tarilT discussions arc over for some time to come. The people are tired and weary of them. It is the money question that leads now and will, but on this McKinley appears to have gotten "his foot in it" badly and is not with L'is party in the west at least, on that question tit all.
Tin. Supreme Court of
V00RHEES VS. THE NICHOLSON LAW. Senator Voorhees was reported to have said some time ago that when he returned to Indiana he would use his' voico and influence against tho new Nicholson temperance law. Now it may strike the Senator as somewhat strange, but the people of Indiana by a large majority are in favor of that law. Mis continued absence from the State may have prevented him from obtaining an accurate knowledge of the situation, et ho wi'.i ascertain on his arrival here that tl.t best people of all parties have I no objection in particular to the newly enacted Nicholson law. He call learn by porusing the proceedings of the last legislature that many democratic Senators and Representatives voted in favor of its passage. He can learn that the people by a large majority favor a stringent temperance law, and are not in fa"or of todying to one element of our population in order to secure its support and influence at the elections.
He can ascertain that a decided outspoken sentiment exists here in favor of less crime and fewer paupers, and that it is considered the nearest way to reach thoso things is by less license to that power creating Them in many instancesThe Nicholson law will injure very little pecuniarily any decent, law abiding man engaged in the traffic. It is not aimed to do so. It is aimed at idlenese. Sabbath breaking and dirty political schemings and other curses, which too often follow in the wake of tho business. The Senator bofore opening his throttle valve against the new temperance law had better ascertain the true sontiment of the State regarding it. Frequently on past occasions the Senator has spoken too soon, has stuck in his shovel where it was not necessary. It may save him some humiliation if he will investigate this time beforo opening up against the new law.

Harrison's administration no
lees than $17,999,807.32 was paid in pre miutns on the redemption of bonds not due, and the interett bearing debt of the government was reduced about $"200,000,000. This looks like a prettyfair showing, but it does not noar come up to .Mr. Cleveland's first term, when no prouiiums were paid to bond hold ers, and tho interest bearing debt was reduced ?235,000,000. But there is a debt that bears no interest and the best test of how much total debt is paid is to compare the "total debt, less money in tho treasury," at any given timo. By this test, the public debt waB reduced during Mr. Cleveland's first administration, almost 8100,000,000, and during Harrison's administration, less than $137,000,000. Yet re^ublicaLS all over the country actually believe that Mr. Harrison's was a debt paying adminis tration. But for being hampered with conditions of republican making, Mr Cleveland's second term would have made as good a financial rocora as the tirst.
A 1'KKACHEi in Boston the other day panting for a little cheap notoriety, stated that President Cleveland had been drunk on two or three occasions at banquets to which he had been invited. This retailor of scandal when pressed stated that personally he knew nothing about it, and admitted he receiv- his information through hearsay onh. and finally retracted it altogether. This laborer for the regeneration of the souls of men should abandon his vocation at once. 11 is assertions on anything of a sacred character will be btlieved just about as readily as the stuli" he has uttered about i-lcveland. A man i6 iu a very dirty business who finds nothing better to employ his talents than uttering falsehoods about a president.

ley law the manufacture of tin plate got a start.-- Journal. es, and it seems to be a start and a stop about all tho time. The tin-plate mills thus far opened through the country do not seem to amount to much. It is a run with starvation wages to employees. or a coniplete suspension of operations. They have not been paying investments and will not be unless the government feeds them through high protection. The tin plate business was started for republican campaign purposes only, and no doubt thoy would be willing to let go at most any tint
Tin. seemingly uneven contest in which China with 100,000,000 people, it was supposed would soon wipe up Japan with its 10.000,000, has been reversed, i'he Japanese by knowing how to tight, while her great big neighbor knew nothing about the art of war, has compelled China to yield and pay a large indemnity besides. The Chinese are also compelled by tho treaty to open a large part of the country to the commerce of the world.

STILL BOOMING.
No sooner had McKinley arrived home a few davs ago from his southern trip where ho had been "invited" to go for tho understood purpose of further influencing his nomination for President ty the republican convention next year, than ho is "invited" to attend some kind of celebration last week at Hartford, Connecticut, originated of course, to further influence his boom in that part of tho country. If it were not for Harrison's influence, a similar piece of monkey businoss would be enncted for
McKir.ley's ber.etit in lnd a. No doubt a similar number of "ii vitations" for McKinley "s-i i.iterest in ditbient wostern States will bo enacted this ear in which ho will be *'a guest"' and will be solicited to address the people. These entire proceedings are cut and dried. The friends of tho great protectionist, thode *vho expect big fat offices in tho event of his election, consider no doubt that there is nothing like an early start, and are arranging this invitation" business throughout tho country. And. don't tho entire proceedings look disgusting to anyone possessing sensibilities not clouded with office seeking? A beautiful spectacle, a distinguished citizen electioneering for a high office, and secretly aiding and advising his friends in the business!
