Deprived of all its moat, a more empty shell. the famous American in- come tax law stood when the supreme court of the United States was done ‘ with it. Of the nine justices the illness of Judge Jackson of Tennessee left only eight present. The notable thing is that among these eight four different opinions were made public. The taxation of state and municipal bonds came nearer call- ing out a unanimous decision than any other clause of the law. All the judges except one, Justice White. were op- posed to this on the same ground on which the national government bonds were exempted in war time—the in- strumentalitics of the state or states can- not be taxed by the United States. The chief sources of revenue under the income tax law were to be from rents and bonds. The supreme court has swept away taxation f om rents. The Astersfiw‘illfilgo‘l'eéape taxation al- ‘4" most altogether. So will many other mnltitnillionaircs. The principle on which theta: on rents was declared on- constitutional was that such levy was a direct tar, and the supreme law states explicitly that direct tart-s must be ap- portioned bycongrcss among the several states accotiing to population. lint J as- tices Harlan and White hold, on the other hand, that a in: on rents; is not a direct tar, and therefore constitutional. What remain in be tarml, after tali- ing out rents and state and municipal bonds. according to tin-court's decision, are profits in busim ss, salaries above “.000 and stocks and bonds other than state and municipal. This will out down the expected revenues of the governnu-nt probably half. It was expected that at least $30,000,000 would be added to the public moneys from the income tax. When this is cut in two, what will be left will not be worth Very much after the upenaoof collecting is counted cut. Still something will be realized. Thcpoint that interests the American people most in connection with the law motile said as yet to be settled—that is. is an income tax law constitutionuli in the United States? The court was so divided that its decision can be upset by , tbs appointmentof one or two judges of “lining opinions from those who utter- ed the majority opinion. and vacancies , deem rather frequently on our supreme bench.

Seward, in a speech in the United States senate, prophesied that Europe, with all its commerce, politics and his- tory, would in time sink into insignifi- cance compared to the great and grow- ing Pacific region. The Atlantic has its day now The day of the Pacific is at hand. Quoting from Seward’s speech as a , tort. cit-Minister Lorrin A. Thurston of Hawaii contributes to The North American Review one of the most im- portant and interesting magazine papers that have appeared in nutny a day. His tables comparing the tonnage of vessels arriving at Atlantic and Pacific ports show that already Sydney has nearly half as much shipping as New York city. San Francisco has already nearly as much as Boston and more than Phil- adelphia. South Australia imports and exports more goods 3" capita of popu- lation than any other country on the globe. Hawaii, "the Gibraltar of the Pacific," actually entered more ships flying the American flag their were on- tered at any other port in the world in 1893. Honoluln's foreign trade already amounts to $10,000,000 a year. A matter that vitally interests the Whole American people is the fact that the British government gives no less than $3. 192 every year in certain Pacific ocean steamer lllli'S, and this is only a part of her subsidies to encourage trade in that quarter, What is the UnitodStatos thinking of that it lets England slip in and steal the greatest commerce the world has ever known, possibly ever will know, from undu our iing»~xa~'." Mr. Thurston lays stress on what is certainly the fact—that peo- pleuist of the Rocky mountains have no realization of the greatness of their own Pacific coast. ()nr population West of the Rocky mountains in one year more will certainly be equal to that of the whole ill colonies at the beginning of the Iluvolnlion. The railroad build- ing which has stopped dead still in the 0:th goes on unabated in the West. Moreover. Siberia already produces one- sixth of the world's gold output every year, and she is only beginning. '5 Mr. Thursion concludes with the prophecy that within the next few years liIL‘iilllnlilild will radiate from Vladivos» ml: to all the American Pacific coast and go through the Nicaragua canal; that a railroad will be completed from Alaska to Chile, and that the Pacific coast steamers will be as large and swift as those now plying between New York and Liverpool. ~~n in, It is certain that the sympathies of the American people are with Cuba in her attempts to free herself from Spain and set up a republic. American sym- pathies must be with every country that endeavors to throw off the monarchicai yoke. All the same the light of Cuba against Spain in none of our fight. Spain is a country with which we are on friendly terms. Her people were par. ticularly friendly when, two years ago, Spain honored as by sending to us a princess of the blood royal to represent the country at our World's fair. In all ways possible l-lpain manifested her one teem and consideration. She went to expense that she could ill afford, and finally made a present to us of the three Columlme caravels she built for the oc- casion. in return it Would ill become this government even to shut one eye to the attempts to recruit soldiers and get money here for the Cuban rebellion. We may all hope in our private capacity that Cuba will win her independence, though this is not at all probable. bo- causo tho insurrection, like all the rest of the ill fated ones in Cuba, went off at the half cock before matters were ripe. but we must not do so publicly. The Cubans must win the tight for themselves. Unless they can do that they do not deserve freedom. W British papers are making a to dobe- cause Mr. Gully. whom the house of museums has elected its speaker. is the giandson of a prireflghter. That is nothing. If he had been in this coun- try. the old prisedghter himself might have been a member of our congress. Wis dot-[better Weakness. Hum mail musician-l “MW N. mums WORTH on am on illillililll all 500. HALE’S. MODES OF THE SEASON. The Latest Sleeves Are Mounted on a Close Epanlet. The modes of this season will not vary much from those of two years past. There has been an exaggeration of all the char- acteristlca in these two years of course. Sleeves have grown larger, skirts more flaring about the foot and shoulders more sloping, but the‘esscntinl features have continued the same and will do so for the present. . The latest regulation regarding sleeves demands that they shall be not smaller by a halrbrondth. but set lower down in order to show the curve where the arm joins the shoulder. This is achieved by mounting thorn on a close epaulet—a SPRING STREET 009le .\i [-1. much better idea than that of 40 years ago, when drooping shoulders were last in fashion, of cutting the bodice abnormally long on the shoulder, thus causing an un- sightly bagglness nrouml tbo armhole.

Cat-Boat lacing. lat-boats, pure and simple, should never race with any other rig. Cat-boats with a jib-such as are used so much along the southern coast of Massachusetts. Rhode island and Connecticut—are an entirely different kind of boat, though they are generally known under the title of cut-boat. They are for deep-sea sailing; they stand heavy weather, and. on the other band, they are less susceptl ble to the influence of light breezes and calm. The harbor cat—boats should al- ways be confined to harbor racing. They are not built for a choppy sea. and consequently do not sail well in a large boy or In the open sea. They are built law in the water, usually have no “house" on them, and the sail area is much larger ls proportion to the water - line measurement than in the case of the cat- hxat with its small jib. Quito different from these two is the small "jib-sud- rsclng, and quite distinct from any one of the three already mentioned. it is. perhaps. one of the most fascinating little cram ever made for racing, and goes by the name ot tic-test. A great mistake often madeby a club of honor even men. each owning different kinds of hosts, is that they sresosnx’lous to race that they either all enter, and each data the heel: house. or they make some Il~ possible attempt at time allowance. it is farbetterdttberears in say sea town only eight boats. and two of each hind already mentioned. that the race should be divided into four parts, composed of we each. and that course- should be laid out for each class.
