THE MAIL'S QUARTER CENTENNIAL. On June 29th The Mail will oelebrate its twenty-flfth anniversary, and will make the oooaslou notable by issuing a speolal number that whl surpass in typographical appearance and oontents any paper ever before published in this city. It will consist of twenty pages, including a cover, and the title pige of the latter will be engraved eepeolally for this event, from an original design. The paper will be printed on elegant Buper-calendered book paper, and will be illustrated by half-tone outs of Terre Haute's representative business and professional men, public building*, etc., and will make a souvenir long to be treasured. The preliminary work already done has met wiih much encouragement, and justifies the publishers in the statement that it will far surpass anything ever before attempted here.

Coming, as it will, the Saturday before the Charity Cirous, will afford an opportunity of doing muoh good for that notable entertainment, whioh promises to eclipse any thing of the kind that has ever been given by Terre Haute talent. The paper will therefore be known as the "Quarter Centennial and Charity Circus Edition" of The Mail. Samples of the cuts, paper, etc to be iiSed in thin special editioo may be seen at the office, where information will be gladly.-fur-nished regarding it

AN Indianapolis man died recently and left |200,000 to the art institute, and the public spirited citizens over there are growling because he didn't give it to their base ball olub.

THE sparring bout between Mr. Protective Tariff and Mr. Income Tax, for solentiflo points only, with the honorable members of the Supreme jourt as referees, may be said to have resulted in a clean knock-out for Mr. Tax. I:

IF the oranks had their way the five Supreme Justices who held the income tax unconstitutional would be Impeached forfaiting to decide the way the cranks wanted it. Fortunately, while the cranks are the noisiest people we have, they are outnumbered by the sensible ones, and this is not a government of cranks.

No WONDER Tammany and its cohorts are kloklng against the reform administration in N^W York City. A rule has been established that hereafter only men of intelligence and integrity will be appointed on the election boards of the great city. Tammany's claws would have been drawn long ago had such a rule been in force heretofore

IN Beoember, 1887, President Cleveland sent to Congress bis more or less famous message in which he insisted that the revenues of the government be reduced by reforming the tar) IT—a message that had the result of electing a Republican president. Wbon Congress meets next December he will probably have a message asking that plans be devised to increase the revenues to meet the constantly increasing deficiency. He will have a condition—not a very good one, either—and not a theory oonfrontlng him.

THR president, in retiring Rear Admiral Meads, took occasion to read that officer a lecture In the style and manner whioh may justly be claimed to beplevelandesque. Yet the majority of those who read the reprimand would prefer to be its object rather than its author'— when all things oonneoted therewith are taken into consideration. The naval official was either guilty of an offense for whloh he should have been punished, oreise he was not guilty, and in thelatter ease he was not entitled to a school boy reprimand from his superior offloer^

THB appointment of Gen. Jasper Packard as a member of the State monument regency, to sueoeed Gen. Lew Wallaoe, Is g^od one, and should meet with the heartj approval of the people, who are interested in the towering tribute to Indiana's heroes and Indiana valor and patriotism. Gen. Wallace |s unquestionably a great man, as a soldier, a diplomat and a man of letter*, but his actions daring the brief period he was a member of the board of regents were very muoh like those of a spoiled child who refused to play beoanse he couldn't have his own way as againai the will of a majority of the board, men whose

Judgment Is aa good and whose Intentions as just and honorable aa those of the author of "Ben Btar." Now that Oen. Wallaoe has taken his doU rags and

-?v

TERRE

gone home, the people of Indiana will no doubt get as satisfactory servloe a* they would |*ave had with Gen. Wallace as member of the board. Gen, Wallaoe Is a great man, aa he is a good man, but greatness and goodness, in this day and age, giVe no man aright to have his own way without question.

AND now beoause Juatioe Harlan delivered a stump speech, in whloh be ex* hiblted much feeling, In rendering his dissenting opinion in the income tax case, his more than fool friends are talking of him as a candidate for president next year. Walter Q. Gresham was flrit proposed as a candidate for president because in deolding a big railroad case tie Indulged In a campaign speeoh on th« "dignity of labor,»'etc., and when Judge Caldwell made an Important rilling In the Interest of labor organisations, in the Union Pacific oase, nothing would do but that his friends mast begin to grooin htm as a presidential possibility. The dignified part of labor la not caught like gudgeons, and the oheap talk about the •'dignity of labor" doesn't bear muoh fiuit under suoh eiroumstanoesas these.

THK Supreme oourt on Monday rendered its decision in the income tax case by whioh that law Is declared unconstitutional as a whole, Iq its first decision the oourt minus one of its members, Justice ckson, decided that a tax upon incomes derived from rents was a direct tax on lauds, and hence not to be imposed except in a uniform way and acordiug to population. In the later decision the court, by a vote of five to four, holds that a tax upon incomes derived in any way from any kind of real or personal property is a direct tax upon such property, and therefore in violation of the constitution. The effeot of this is to deolde that oongress has ne authority to levy an Income tax without apportionment among the states on the basis of population. Thisdeoibion will reduce the government's annual reveuues about 130,000,000 a year, whioh was the estimate prepared when the law went into effeot. When the former deolslon was rendered some six weeks ago, Judge Shiras was numbered among those who upheld the oonstitutionality of the law. This time, however, be was one of the five who held it to be unconstitutional, a change as radical as it was rapid. The other members who agreed with him were Justices Gray, Brewer, Fields and the Chief Justice, the latter two being

Democrats, the others being Republicans. The four who were in favor of Htlstalnlng the law, were Justioes White, Jackson, Halian and Brown, the two last named being Republicans and the others Demoorate. It Is worthy of note that every judge who voted to deolare the income tax unconstitutional is from the North, while three of the four judges who voted to declare it constitutional are from the South. Justice Brown, of ^Michigan, is the only Northern member of the court who voted to sustain the validity of the tax. Whatever chance there was to make politioal capital of the decision seems to have been lost by the way the court divided in rendering its decision.

A Model Building.

The firm of J. N. Hickman & Bro. has just completed a building of the most modern construction. The building is three stories in height, built of the best quality of brick and stone, and is located at 1212 Main street. The building was built expressly for the undertaking business of the new firm, it being the best and largest building In the eastern irt of the city. It is besides a good business oenter, a credit to east Terre Haute, and residents of the east end should be proud of the building, and the advancement of the eastern pa?t,of the oity. On last evening the jiff m. plaoed in the window an'elegant oasket, riohly trimmed, and something differ ent from anything brought to this city. The firm has just received anew white car, built by A. E. Herman, of thiM' ci't^ The funeral car is of a *nowy whito^^es, and second to noii-v trimmings are of the rich, ^t .»H^ nable. The plan the oar -f itu very latest modern pat tern. Both inside and out the trimmings are of the best, of heavy while prorated Bullion fringe. Besides being a finer oar than eves was in this city, it was built here at home, and our neighbors and patrons were employed to build it. The idea of the firm has been to spend their money in Terre Haute {and patronize home industry, as the firmjhas always in the past twenty years' Residence here patrohized home industry. It is a wise idea, as it gives their patrons employment. Mr. A. E. Herman, of Tenth and Main streets, who built the firm's new white car, is building a dead wsgon for the firm that promises to be something dlfierent, and a model wagon of the kind. This firm now has the two places, 306 and 1212 Main street, completed, and all cslls wlll have prompt attention day or night. A lady attendant constantly on band.
