His Unbiased Opinion.

The Tribune says that “candid and fair-minded men must recognize the general soundness of Justice Millsr’s judgment; he was a man of fine discrimination." Well, Justice Miller declared, in one of his most famous opinions, that—“To lay with one hand the power of the Government on the property of a citizen and with the other bestow It upon favored individuals to aid private enterprise and build up private fortunes

1* none ttre lees robbery- because It 'Undone under the forms of law and Ur called taxaUu*. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forma. Nor is it taxation. Beyond a cavil thera qan be no lawful taxation which is not laid for public purposes." This is the Democratic doctrine proclaimed by a Republican Justice whose judic al conscience was above hts partisanship.—New York World, Bept. 25, 1892.
