The Construction of the Word “Uni- formity”—Exemption of Some Corporations. In closing the arguments on the income tax case in the United States Supreme Court yesterday Mr. Choate contended that in exchange for the surrender by the states of the power to collect duties, imposts and excises the general government had neces- sarily conceded the protection of all men in their equality before the land, and the rele of uniformity must be observed. Furthermore, he asserted that this rule had been observed without exception by Ccngress in all tariff acts. Mr. Justice White here asked if the observance of this rule would not destroy all specific duties. Mr. Choate thought not, and he also dis- sented from a suggestion that a difference was made in taxing men of different de- grees of wealth. There had never been a personal distinction in tariff acts. The fact that persons coming into the country should be allowed to bring their personal effects with them was merely an excep- tion which proved the rule. Construction of “Uniformity.” He declared that the construction put upon the word “uniformity” by the oppo- sition counsel was worthy of a Jacobin club or a Czar of Russia who proposed to reign without restraint. Such a construc- tion would involve a direct violation of the Constitution. He then referred to what he designated as the breaches of the rule of uniformity made by the income law, taking up first the limitation of the law to incomes in excess of $4,000. Had we, he asked, come to the point where there was to be one Jaw for the rich and another for the poor? He declared the law to be a deliberate strike on the part of the men who had voted for it at the really rich. No wot der, he said, the President, after ten days’ deliberation, had refused to put his name to the bili. No wonder the President and the Secretary of the Treasury refused to indorse it. = “Do you,” asked Justice Harlan, “dis- pute the validity of any exemption?” Mr. Choate replied he did not, but, without ex- plaining his reply, took up the denial by the law of any exemption to corporations, ccntending for uniformity in the treatment of corporations and individual persons. Justice Brown made an inquiry as to the policy of the provision for domestic ex- penses in the $4,000 exemption, but Mr. Choate contended that in this respect the law was alike in its application to indi- viduals and corporations in that it made deductions for expenses in the business of beth. Justice Brown replied, however, that he understood the provision in the law for the deduction of the net expenses of the corporation was to stand in lieu of the $4,000 exemption for domestic expenses. In the Nature of a Penalty. Continuing his argument Mr. Choate said the refusal to make the exemption in the case of corporations was in the nature of @ penalty which was not levied on others, and it was entering upon a policy which Congress should have refrained from. He characterized as “capricious” the exemp- tion of the propérty of schools, churches, as well as the savings banks, loan asso- ciations and mutual insurance companie: and similar institutions, and said that a far harsher term would be justified. Was it just, for instance, to tax the people of Colorado and Nebraska for the support ef Trinity Chureh or Columbia College of New York? “But let the educational and religious institutions go,” he said; “we do not dwell upon the policy as to them. Be generous before you are just, seems to have been the rule applied.” Referring to the other exemptions he said that Mr. Vanderbilt or Mr. Astor could put all his money into a savings bank and thus escape taxation under the law. “Why,” he exclaimed, “it looks as if there were a job in it. Is it capricious? Is it arbitrary? Is it wicked? Is that the way to protect the poor man? Had some crafty representative of the mutual in- surance companies of New York come to Washington and pulled the wool over the eyes of the Senate committee which in- serted the exemption of these companies?” ¥ so he ought to have had an immense fee for his success. Mr. Choate quoted from official records to show the enormous extent*of the busi- ness done by the mutual companies, declar- Ing that there were no institutions in the land which were more noted grabbers for and hoarders of money than these mutual companies. Mr. Chonte’s Peroration. It was 3 o'clock when Mr. Choate, after baving spoken three hours yesterday and ferty minutes the day before, reached his peroration. He had, he said, felt a re- sponsibility in this case such as he had never felt in any other case and never ex- pected to feel again, and he did not be- lieve that any member of the court, not excepting the venerable Justice Field, whose experience as a member of the court ex- tended from the early days of the war, and who had been called upon to deal with many questions of vast importance, had ever sat in a case or that any of them would ever live long enough to hear a case of more vital consequence to the people of this country. The question involved was whether we could rely upon the guaranty given us by the fathers in the Constitution, and under which the nation had so far in its history prospered. If it was true, as had been asserted, that a decision adverse to the law was liable to cause an army of 70,000,000 to march this way “to see about it,” then it was all the more important to the future welfare of the country that the court should see if it has the power.to de- cide such questions, and if it finds that it has, that it should exercise it to put a stop to such legislation as this. Mr. Choate stopped so suddenly that the audience did not at first appear to realize that the argument in the famous case had reached a finality, and that nothing re- mained to determine the validity of the in- come jtax except the decision of the court, which would not, of course, be then ex- pected. After he took his seat and another case was called for argument, the situation dawned upon them, and there was such a general cleaning out of spectators as to render it impossible for the business of the court to proceed for a few minutes. The case has excited more general at- ples. th und Staughton'st. 2|tertion than any which has been before er inave UPPLIED BY THE AGENCY. the court for years, and it is = to say ineral W. that the court room would have been Shafer s Mineral ater Dp crowded during the continuation of the nga GRRE AE argument if it had been ten times its eae Sea actual capacity. —r : Uric Acid In The Blood Butterflies That Bathe. —the direct cause of Gravel, Gout and In the Victorian Naturalist G.

Posey, mig 14th St. mh13-10d of South Melbourne notes that while walk- ing along the edge of a mountain stream in Gippsiand he observed a peculiar habit of the Victorian butterfly, Papilio macleay- anus. One of these butterfiles was seen to alight close to the water, into which it backed till the whole of the body and the lower part of the hind wings were sub- merged, the two forelegs alone retaining their hold of the dry land. After remain- ing in this position for something like half a minute it flew away, apparently re- freshed. “During the morning,” says Mr. Lyell, “I noticed quite a number doing the same thing. In one instance no less than four were seen to be within a space of not more than three yards, and to make sure that I was not decefved I captured several as they rose from the water, and found in each case the body and lower edge of the hind wings quite wet. While in the water the fluttering of the wings, so noticeable at other times, was suspended, and so in- tent were the butterflies In the enjoyment of their cold bath that they would hardly move, even when actually touched by the net. “Apparently the heat of the weather drove them to the water, as immediately they emerged they flew up again to the hillsides. I have often noticed butterfiles of the Nymphalidae family settling near the pools, and apparently imbibing the moisture from the damp sand round the edges, but never before have I seen butter- flies enter the water. Possibly it may be a peculiar habit of this particular species or genus. Numbers of the white buttertly, Pieris harpalyce, were flying about at the same time, but I noticed none alight near the wate!

THE WALSENBURG MURDERS Governor MoIntyre Taking Means to Pre- vent Farther Violence. The Troops to Be Syimmoned if Neces- sory—Acting Itallan Consal at Denver Protests. eet { Governor McIntyre ©f Colorado has re- ceived from the State. Department and the Italian consul in Denver inquiries concern- ing the Wafsenburg lynchings. The com- munication from Washington was a tele- gram frcm Acting Secretary of State Uhl asking for particulars, and that from Act- ing Italian Consul Cuneo at Denver a de-, mand for protection for any Italian citi- zens who might be in danger at Walsen- burg. Immediately steps were taken by the governor to comply with these requests, and telegrams were sent out. To the sheriff of Huerfano county the governor directed a telegram demanding full par- ticulars of what had occurred, together with a statement of thé feeling at the mo- ment prevalent. To Washington the gov- ernor telegraphed such particulars as he then had, and promised the fullest protec- tion to all. He also stated that it is probable that the Italians lynched were American citizens; that he had directed the sheriff to protect his prisoners and maintain order, and that he had a report from the colonel commanding the nearest place that he could put troops aboard cars in two hours. Quickly following the sending of these dispatches went others to Pueblo. One was to the commander of the mili- tary forces stationed there, the other to the railroad company. The military officer was ordered to report immediately and ex- actly on what notice he could put his com- mand in the field, and the railroad au- thcrities were asked in what length of time a@ special train could be furnished and sent to the scene of the riots. It was found that within three hours of an order issued to the Pueblo troops they could be landed in Walsenburg. The Acting Consul’s Demand. Following is a copy of the communications passing between Gov. MclIntyre’s depart- ment and the acting Italian consul: DENVER, March 13. To his excellency, A. W. McIntyre, gov- ernor of Colorado: = Sir: I have reliable authority that at or near the town of Walsenburg, Col., this morning about 2 o'clock two Italians were taken from the jail by a mob and lynched, and_also that there are seven more men supposed to be Italians still in the cus- tody of the authorities of Huerfano county who are threatened to be treated in like Therefore I, Joseph C erefore I, Josep! ‘un acting Italis consul for this district, call on Se ernor of the state to take such steps as may be necessary to insure protection for the life and property of the Italians in custody of the authorities in the said ercetenriO) county. ery respectfully, your obedient servan: J. CUNEO, Acting Consul.” DENVER, March 13. Sir: Replying to your communication of March 13, 1895, just received, I have the honor to say that I have telegraphed to the sheriff of Walsenburg information con- cerning the alleged lypching, and to protect his prisoners, and will fake such further steps as are nece: and can be taken within authority conférred on me by law te insure protection to life and property of the Italians in custodyin the said Huer- fano county, the sdme’as if they were American citizens. I “have the further honor to say that it is not yet known to me that the Italians in question are not Amer- ican citizens. Respectfully, Your obedient servant, ALBERT W. McINTYRE, Governor. The Sheriff's Report. The report of the sherjff to the governor related that one of the Italians had been killed on his way to Walsenburg, and that two had escaped. Whether they are dead or notyhe did not know. Two others were killed in the jail. * State Department Advices. Gov. McIntyre has telegraphed as follows to the State Department: DENVER, Col, March 14, 1835. Hon. Edwin F. Uhl, acting secretary of state, Washington, D. C.: Since wiring you I have received the fol- lowing from sheriff at Walsenburg: “Last night, while conveying prisoners from Rouse to Walsenburg, armed mob held up posse, killed driver and one pris- cner; two prisoners ran and have not since been found. Don’t know whether killed or not. This occurred about 7 p.m. At 1 a.m. mob broke into jail and shot to death two prisoners implicated in some murder. All Ttalians except driver.” On receipt of which I telegraphed him as follows: “Wire me at once whether you are main- taining order and protecting prisoners, and whether you have sufficient force to pre- vent recurrence of violence to prisoners. Take every precaution to protect life and property, and as soon a3 possible ascertain who composed the mob which did the lynch- ing, and as soon as practicable arrest them.” To which I received the following reply: “Everything quiet tonight. Will wire particulars in morning. Have not found two prisoners shat got away at time they were being held up by mob.” Will obtaifi and forward full information as promptly as possible. I see no reason for anticipating further trouble. It is not yet known whether the Italians killed were American citizens. ALBERT W. McINTYRE, Governor of Colorado. —+e+__ Horror in Store for China. In the United Service Magazine for Feb- ruary there is an article by Col. Maurice, C.B., on the war between China and Japan, which will arrest attention. Col. Maurice predicts fearful things for the Chinese. “A vision of horror,” he says, “has been long floating before my eyes as to what is going to happen before the war comes to an end.” The Chinese authorities are now boasting that they have gathered round Pekin half a million of men. Dis- cipline or organization there is none. The Chinese have not the faintest notion of the most ordinary military or sanitary precautions. “What will happen when the snow, fouled by hundreds of thousands of men and animals, melts in the spring? Ever since the naval battle of the Yalu the accumulation of ill-disciplined soldiery has been going on. So grave is the danger even for a civilized army to be long gather- ed on one spot that it is the rule of armies only to concentrate actually for the pur- pose of battle, and to occupy a wide area before and afterward. Even with civilized armies one reason for it is the impossibil- ity of maintaining for afew weeks or even days such conditions of health as will pre- vent the outbreak of serious epidemics. As soon as the warm weather sets in in the spring the consequence of all this must be a frightful outbreak ,of pestilence in some form or other, probably In many forms,but beginning with malignant typhus in its most virulent shape.” The efforts to effect a peace may fail, the Japanese armies may move forward slowly, the au- thorities at Pekin may get a little heart again as they see the difficulties before the invaders, but when the weather mod- erates and the milg, season begins the Chinese will have, in: all probability, a foe to contend with vastly(more unsparing than the foreign sword Re he Clinker Paving London. A new Rare eee eal is produced, at Hornsey, a suburf of& London, by col- lecting and burning the dirt of the dis- trict, which leaves considerable residue int the shepe of clinker. The coarser of this is an excellent material for road making. The finer clinker is put into a mortar mill and mixed with lime or cement and used as mortar end grouting. There is stWl a great deal of clinker left, and this is mixed with a fair quantity of Portland cement, making excellent paving stones, at about half the cost of those purchased from the patent stone makers. A section of South- wood lane, Highgate, at the entrance to the railway stalion, has been paved with this material, and is said to wear cxceed- ingly well. —__—_—__+e+. Mayor Sloan of Columbia, 8.

A PROCLAMATION ISSUED Governor Foster Oalls on Good Citizens to Be Prudent. Participants in the Recent Riots to Be Brought to Justice—A Bitter Feeling at New Orleans. Late yesterday afternoon Gov. Foster of Louisiana issued the following proclama- tion, which has had a good effect among busiress men at New Orleans, inspiring confidence that peace will be maintained and labcrers of every class protected: NEW ORLEANS, La., March 13, 1895. To the citizens of New Orleans: Armed and organized fies of men have, in the past few days, congregated on the levee front and the approaches thereto, and have there engaged in rioting, resulting in the wounding and killing of a number of per- sons, and have thereby been guilty of of- fenses against the peace and good order of the state and threatening the commerce of the port; and, whereas, these offenses may be repeated; Now, therefore, I, Murphy J. Foster, gov- ernor of the state of Lousiana, by virtue of power vested in me by law, do hereby issue this, my proclamation, condemning all such assemblages to immediately disperse and warning any and all persons against a continuance of such acts, whether by se- cret meetings or overt action, and I do further counsel and advise all law-abiiing citizens to refrain from frequenting places where violations of the public peace are likely to occur, and to abstain from all acts which may serve to excite the public mind, and I do hereby declare that, as the chief executive, charged with the con- stituent duty of seeing that laws of the state are faithfully executed, I will, through the proper law officers, see to it that the participants in the late riots are brcught to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And I do further declare that I will use the whole power of the commonwealth, civil and military, to suppress and disperse all riotous assemblies, and to maintain and uphold the law, and to sustain all persons in the full enjoyment of their constituent and legal rights, and to protect them in life, liberty and prosperity; and to that end, I invoke the aid and assistance of all good citizens, and invite the co-operation of all who have at heart the true interests of the state. (Signed) MURPHY J. ¥YOSTER. Steamship Agents Confer. The agents of the foreign steamship companies met yesterday afternoon at the offices of Albert Le Blanc, agent of the Harrison line, whose wharf was the Scene of Tuesday’s riot. The proceedings of the meeting were carefully guarded, ani all of the agents who took part.refused to state what had taken place or to discuss the situation. Numbers of negro screwmen were gath- ered around the Cotton Exchange during the day, and it was understood that the steamship agents were arranging with their stevedores to put them to work as soon as the requisite police or military Protection is assured them. Last evening it was positively announced that a number of the men would com- mence work in the morning. A company of state troops is stationed at each steam- er to be loaded. The agent of the White Screwmen’s As- sociation said that work was going on on all ships which were being loaded by that association, except one or two, which were out of cotton, and were waiting for a fresh supply. It had been apprehended that the local labor situation would be still further com- plicated by the strike of the street rail- way employes, whose demands had not been acceded to by the presidents of ihe street railway companies, and whose case still hung fire before the board of arbitra- tion because of the injunction recently is- sued. Officials of the union, however, de- cided to allow the question of a strike to remain in abeyance for the present. A general meeting of the union will be held tomorrow, when the entire matter will again be taken -up for discussion. The committee on commercial legislation, of which Mr. S. A. Trufant is chairman, call- ed upon the governor about noon, and were in consultation with him several heurs. Soon after the conference adjourn- ed the proclamation of the governer was issued. ee Mustaches Prohibited. From Tid-Bits. ‘This is the rule at the well-known bank- ing house of Messrs. Coutts & Co., 59 Strand. None of the bank clerks wear mustaches, and it has long been considered a poirt of business etiquette that all the gentlemen employed at the bank should wear frock coats during business hours. A clerkship at Messrs. Coutts’ is considered one of the prizes in the banking profession. Some of the men are university graduates, many have been educated at one of the great public schools, while several have been called to the English bar. Some years ago an attempt was made to have the un- written law regarding mustaches rescinded, but it was found that a greater number preferred the old custom to remain in force than were in favor of its abolition. This curious custom is also said to prevail in some of the large tea houses in the city, while it is well known that some Church of England bishops prefer the curates under their charge to be clean-shaven. A lady who tried about three years ago to enforce a shaved face on the groom in her employ- ment, and dismissed him at once because he refused compliance with her order, found that the law gave her no such power, and was mulcted in £5 for wrongful dis- missal and the costs of the action by the judge of the Bedford county court, ee: Pecultarities of the Japanese. ‘The Japanese language has some fea- tures which puzzle beginners in its use. In English when one has learned the name for rice that ends it. Not so in Japan. Begin with cooked rice, mesh. When eaten by a child it is called mama. In speaking to another person of eating rice you call it gozen. As a merchant sells it, uncooked, it is Kome, and as it grows in the field it is ine.
