THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY...........--.---- April 9, 1895. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. (In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = — Some of those hee of the inquisi- torial income-tax who were net so long ago unmindful of the unfair distinctions drawn by the law are now much exercised be- cause the Supreme Court has added to the number of distinctions and, by its recent decision, has exempted from the operations of the statute incomes derived from rents and bonds. So long as the law aimed to assess nearly all of those who, by reason of fortunate circumstances or superior ability enjoyed incomes greater than four thousand dollars, those who now complain had nothing to say, but with a new sub- division — constitutionally correct — comes demand for the speedy demolifion of a law that now, according to everybody's admission, taxes some of the people to the detriment of others. The discovery is in no sense remarkable, for that was all the income-tax law ever pretended to do. Those who believed otherwise deceived themselves. Inequitably-based taxation can only result in the formation of classes, and there cannot be rational debate over the undesirability of classes—other than those founded upon intelligence—in a re- public. Just as the person who holds the majority of stock in a corporation right- fully insists upon control, so. would the contributors to a tax upon thrift and suc- cess have all the logic on their side in de- manding that their privileges in the mat- ter of government should bear close rela- tionship to the financlal prominence forced upon them by a practically-populist Con- gress. . By exempting rents and bonds and thus throwing the burden of the income tax upon the producing classes of the nation the Supreme Court has merely accentuated the unjust, inequitable and discriminating features that are inherent in such a law. By carrying these features to their logical extreme the law has been made universally odious. It should be promptly repealed by the incoming Congress. —_— + «+ ___ It was high time that the gates in the rear of the White House should be re- opened so that the public may vse the walk that passes through the southern part of the grounds a3 a thoroughfare; for which an erder has just been issued. That path- way has for many years beer a great con- venience to thousands, but more especially to clerks in the State, War and Navy build- ing, who could thus pass from the Avenue directly to their work in the morning, and so save considerable time. But certain prudential reasons intervened to prevent this generous and sensible use cf the walk, and in obedience to the orders of the Fresi- dent the officer in charge of the grounds closed the gates. One of the reasons was that the chilcren of the White House used this place for a play-ground, and there was fear of abduction aroused by the continual presence of people of all sorts within a few rods ef the mansion. Thex, too, the sentry- box episcde indicated a certain amount of personal alarm on the part of the Chief executive himself. So the bars were put up and the common herd was shut out. But now there is no reason for these pre- cautions. The children and the President are all out at the country nouse, and there is no more reason for the exclusion of the public from this convenience, which was enjoyed for so many years without let or hindrance. The sentry boxes have been taken away and scattered through the parks; the White House guards have been mustered out of active service. It was quite right to let down the bars and give the peo- ple a chance to avail themselves of a priv- ilege that had almost become a right, and that should never have been abridged. ———_+ oo : Perhaps by this time Senator Hill feels satisfied that he blundered when he de- feated the nominations of Peckham and Hernblower to the Supreme bench. Of course in defeating President Cleveland's choice in a matter of so much importance Senator Hill paid off some old political debts, but In his anxiety to do this he pos- sibly overreached himself a trifle. More than anything else, Senator Hill would like to defeat the income-tax law and this re- sult would surely have been achieved had either Peckham or Hornblower been on the Supreme bench in place of White, for both the New Yorkers are anti-income tax men. Political revenge may be sweet sometimes, but once in awhile it is expensive. —+++_____ The overhead trolley is always doing something to embarrass its friends and as- tonish the public generally. Its latest freak was to achieve such a disordered con- dition as resulted in shocking to extended unconsciousness a Brooklyn motorman, al- though it has been repeatedly asserted by so-called experts that even the full force of the current used could do nothing more than tickle the most sensitive nerves. Here in Washington overhead trolley wires are scarce and they will soon be more difficult to find than they now are, but one of the few managed last week to disable a number of fire-alarm boxes and thus bring about a condition that might easily have been ex- tremely seriou: —__ wee The rain prevented the work from con- tinuing on the post office building yester- day, but it gave the tardy stone a chance to reach the site. Today there were ninety- seven men at work, not near enough to cast much discredit on the original estimate that the building will not be finished before August 17, 1906. —_— + + ____ With reference to the income tax decision it would probably be a source of satisfac- tion to the President if some psychologist would come forward and explain why in these days nobody seems to agree with any- body else. — + = _ The pugilists will soon be justified in in- sinuating that members of the legislature pass laws against physical encounters in order to secure a monopoly of the pastime. —— +0 _ What with her complications with Ven- ezuela and Nicaragua, France demanding a plain statement of her intentions on the upper Nile, discontent with her arbitrary and oppressive policy in Egypt, and the United States likely to call her attention to the principles enunciated in the Monroe doctrire, together with increasing proba- bilities of a general in Europe, it be- gins to look as though England will soon reach a point in her career where she must decide whether she will take the back track in her bullying system of territorial extension or take the risk of coming in contact with one or more of the first-class powers of the world. When that time comes it will not be difficult to foretell the gourse she will pursue. Strong as she is apparently, in some respects, there is no gther country on earth so weak in other Tespects as she, and this her ablest men yery well know, although the average byllying Englishman believes her to be in- vlog le.

If, however, she ever provokes war with a power that has a trained and courageous army, improved implements of war, and a fleet of swift ironclads able not only to destroy her commerce on every sea, but also to blockade her seaports to the extent of cutting off the supplies necessary to sustain her dense home population, which depends almost entirely on food imported from other countries, the conditions will be vastly different, and it is altogether Vkely that her experience will be a most mortifying surprise. She will find that cop- ing with a first-class power is another af- fair entirely from bombarding the defence- less villages of savage or half civilized peo- ples, who have neither resources of their own nor allies capable of affording either material or moral support in their hour of need. —___ + >] —____ One of New York's police-justices has in the course of his judicial business de- veloped a situation which suggests the plot of a new comic opera of the Gilbert and Sullivan order. A woman appeared before him the other morning to complain that her husband had abandoned her and her chil- dren and contributed nothing to their sup- port. She asked that he should be ordered by the court to pay a certain sum for the maintainance of his family, and the judge, who was quite willing, asked the usuat question as to the nature of the man’s business. The wife promptly explained that her husband was an all-round crook; that he had never done anything else but steal and up to a recent time had sup- ported her by the proceeds of his pilferings. Not long ago he had finished a two years’ term at Sing Sirg for stealing a watch. The husband, who was in court, admitted tkat his wife had told the truth and agreed to pay her any sum that the court might order. This put a new phase on the case and the justice postponed it in order to take time to consider the best way out of the difficulty. The woman's plaint was evi- dently just. Her husband was willing to support her and the obvious course of the law was to order him to do so. In one sense the court could hardly scrutinize his methods of securing a livelihood, depend- ing upon the officers of the peace to pre- vent him from doing anything wrong. At the same time his confession rendered it extremely likely that he would proceed to carry out the orders of the court by renewed raids on the property of other people. Indeed, one complex feature of the case was the possibility that the judge himself might be forced to contribute. to the support of his petitioner. At last ac- counts the justice was still pondering. ———++2—____ In view of the inability of President Cleveland's clerical accuser to substantiate any of his charges there was no other hon- orable course open to Dr. Lansing but re- traction, and that he at once accepted. It is ea: enough to make allegations of a general sort on hearsay testimony, but there is always difficulty in finding those who can substantiate the chatterings of thoughtless or malicious gossips. It is hoped that Mr. Debs will take pains to see that the train“of thought which he is at present engaged in making up does not involve him in another painful collision. —_—__ 2 > ___ Mr. Platt of New York is discovering how hard it is for a man who is frozen out to make it warm for anybody. —_++e—___ SHOOTING STARS. How He Did It. “I urderstand that your son went west, intending to rise with the community,” sald the neighbor. “Yes. An’ he did what he started out tur.” ow?" “He hedn’t been there a week before a cyclone struck the town.” The Paternalist. We'll allers feel thet times are tough— The sentiment’s an old one— Till there are offices encugh Fur every man ter hold one. A Combination. “Your father is a victim of the habit of procrastination,” said the young man thoughtfully. “What do you rrean?” she asked. “Why, he has a great way of putting things off.” “Not at all. He is exceptionally prompt.” “That's true, too. I was just thinking of the exceptionally prompt fashion he has of putting me off tre front doorstep.” Not From Boston. For her language ‘twas vain to reprove her. In Paris she went to the “Loover,” And in terror they fled As she artlessly said, “That painting is quite a chef d’oover.” Slighted. “What is this!” exclaimed the prima donna, as she crumpled the printed sheet, threw it upon the floor and stamped upon it. “What is the matter, my dear?” asked her husband. “A brand of plano has been placed on the market without my knowledge, and I have not written a testimonial saying it is the finest instrument I have ever used. This is the first time such a thing has happened and it is an insult.” Baby’s Masterpiece. “]'m sure that baby is gcing to be a great artist,” said the fond mother. “Isn’t he rather young to evince any tal- ent?” “That's just where he shows his genius. I left him where he could get some red ink on his fingers, and before I knew what he was doing he had decorated the library wall with one of the loveliest magazine posters you ever saw.” A Suggestion in Populism. Finance won't prosper in this land Ontil we git tergether An’ hev the gov’ment take a hand The same as with the weather. Whenever they say rain or shine, We're purty sure ter git it; So run yer commerce on that line, An’ then ye’re boun’ ter hit it. It stan’s ter reason, ye kin see, It ain't a mite more worry Ter send us money than it be Ter make a sncw storm scurry. An’ then, whene’er we git stuck fast An’ times fs over-tryin’, We'll throw the boom-flag ter the An’ let ‘er come a-flyin’. —__-_ + ¢ = ____ The University of the United States. blast It would be a long step forward in popu- larizing higher education ff the government should establish at Washington a great rational university.

From the Philadelphia Press. Street car fenders have been so success- ful in Baltimore that a committee of the Massachusetts legislature is_ examining them.
