South Carolina’s Chief Executive Is-
sues a Proclamation.
HAS A REAL REDHOT FLAVOR
Evans Stigmatizes Judge Golf’s Decision as
a. Wanton Invasion of the People’s
Rights—How He Proposes to
Meet the Issue Raised.
COLUMBIA, S. 0.. May 16.-—The leaders
of the political party in power, including
Tillman, Irby and McLaurin, are gather-
ing here to confer regarding their course
in the coming election under Judge Golf’s
recent decision requiring an open ballot.
The governor has issued a proclamation
reciting at length the struggles of South
Carolina for white supremacy during and
after the reconstruction period and as-
serting, in accord with decisions of the su-
preme court of the United States, he says,
the doctrine of state sovereignty within
the limits prescribed in the constitution as
interpreted in the south. The proclama-
GOVERNOR EVANS.
tion declares South Carolina’s loyalty and
respect for the constitution and courts of
the United States, but adds:
“When the judges of these courts wan-
tonly invade and trample under foot the
recognized rights of our people guaranteed
by the federal constitution, they have a
right to assert themselves and maintain
their sovereignty and independence. This
they have ever done and will continue to
do and will resist with all the means in
their power usurpation and tyranny of
partisan politicians in high places who
disgrace the judicial ermine.”
N ot desiring to resort to arms to thwart
"conspirators who are plotting to over-
throw our liberties. ” the governor says, the
people rely on the sympathy and moral
support of good government and states
rights throughout the Union.
A Crisis at Hand.
The proclamation denounces the judges
who haVe decided against the registration
and election laws and those in high office
who support the decision. It ends as fol-
lows:
“A crisis confronts us, an issue has
been thrust upon us, without our will or
consent, at a time when peace was hover-
ing over the state. South Carolina is en-
joying an era of industrial improvement.
Factories are being built in greater num-
ber than elsewhere in the south. Theored—
it of the state ranks higher than ever in
its history, our bonds not being purchasa-
ble at a premium of less than 10 per cent.
The march of progress is about to be stop-
ped. The black pail of negro domination
hovers over us. We must meet the issue
like South Carolinians.
“There are only two flags, the white
and the black. Under which will you en-
list? The one, the white, is the pcaoeable
flag of Anglo-Saxon civilization and prog-
ress. The other is the black flag of the de-
based and ignorant African, with the
white traitors who are seeking to marshal
the negroes in order to gain‘ political pow-
er. It is fortunate that the issues come at'
this time. when a constitution is to be
made guaranteeing white supremacy once
and forever.-
“The constitutional convention must be
controlled by white men, not white men
with black hearts, not negroes. The world
must be shown that we are capable of gov-
erning ourselves, and that, constitution or
no constitution, law or no law, court or no
court, the intelligent white men of South
Carolina intend to govern her.
Won’t Call the Legislature.
"Let the man who undertakes to lead
the ignorant blacks against you suffer as
he did in 1876 and remember that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty.
“I will not call the legislature together.
They can do nothing. An appeal will be
taken to the supreme court of the-United
States, but under the red tape and techni-
calities surrounding it a decision cannot
be had in time to afiect the election of
delegates.
”It must be a free, open fight. I appeal
to the sovereign people of South Carolina,
the wisest and thesafest and purest tri-
bunal, to protect their homes and liberties.
They have never failed to respond to duty.
The government of the people must and
shall be perpetuated, and We are ready to
lead the fight under the white man’s flag. ”
Irrigation Darn Across the Rio Grande.
EL PASO, Tex., May 16.—A letter has,
been received here from London announc-
ing that the required $2, 500, 000 has been

,Grande at Rincon, N. M., above- El Peso.
Local directors. of the corporation will

valley from Rincon to Fort Hancock be-
low El Paso.
Afilicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I Was afiiicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 8
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
{they have been benefited by its use. For

MONO INOOI/IO RUMORS
The New York Herald Says the Tax Is
to Be Completely Wiped Out.
AUTHORITY IS NOT STATED.
Still The Herald’s \Vashington Correspond-
ent Declares That There Is Good Rea-
son to Believe That the Report
Is Based On Fact.
NEW YORK, May 16.--The New York
Herald has the following gossip concern-
ing the income tax from its Washington
correspondent:
,, The supreme court has determined to
absolutely annihilate the income tax law.
This statement is made on what appears
to be absolutely reliable authority. It is,
of course, impossible to say officially what
will be the decision of the court in advance
of its announcement, but the report comes
from such a source as to leave very little
room for doubt as to its accuracy.
The first decision decided nothing except
that incomes from rents could not be taxed
except by apportionment in proportion to
population, and that incomes from state.
county and municipal bonds could not be
taxed by federal authority because they
Were instrumentalities of the government
of states.
At that time Chief J ustice Fuller and
Justices Field, Gray and Brewer held that
the law as a whole was unconstitutional.
Justices Harlan, Shires, Brown and White
regarded the law as wholly or in part con»-
stitutional. Justices Shiras and BroWn
believed the tax on incomes from rents and
state, county and municipal bonds uncon-
stitutional. Justice Harlan contended that
the tax might be levied on incomes from
rents. Justice Jackson did not sit during
the former argument. It is learned to-
night that some of the justices have
changed their opinions on the reargument.
The Original Case.
The case was brought to the court origi-
nally from the southern district of New
York. It was that of Charles Pollock
against the Farmers’ Loan and Trust.
company. It was to test the constitution-
ality of the income tax law. Chief Justice
Fuller made a very elaborate and exhaust-
ive discussion as to whether the tax on
incomes derived from real estate was legal,
and he held it was unconstitutional.
Justice Field had no patience with his
colleagues who believed that taxes upon
rents and incomes from {state and munico
ipal bonds were unconstitutional, but hesi-
tated to declare the entire law unconstitu-
tional. Justice White held that the court
should have been controlled by previous
decisions, the Springer case, for instance,
as to what constituted a direct tax. He
opposed the decision as to‘the unconstitu-
tionality of the law as to a tax on incomes
from rents, but agreed in the decision as
far as it applied to taxes on the proceeds of
state, County and municipal bonds.
The argument of last week has now
borne fruit. It was an unusual thing.
the rehearing of the matter, but it was of
such consequence that it was deemed of na-
tional. importance that the full court of
nine justices should hear and determine
the matter.
To Canada After Mrs. Mack.
WASHINGTON, May lit—Chief Hazen of
the secret service left for Ottawa today
with President Cleveland’s warrant mak-
ing him! the agent of the United States
with authority to bring to Buffalo for trial
Mrs. M. T. Mack. charged with .counter-
felting and uttering United States post-
age stamps. Mrs. Mack, it is alleged,
was a member of the Chicago gang.
The Lochren-Long Case.
WASHINGTON, May iii—The appeal of
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren from
the mandamus of the District supreme
court forbidding him to reduce the pen-
sion rating of Judge C. D. Long of Mich-
igan came pp in the United States court
of appeals today. Edward B. Whitney ap-
peared for the commissioner and T. J.
Hopkins for Judge Long.

ping trains suspected of carrying coal.
