6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY. May 20, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. . -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Witshington drilies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to an¥ individual connected with the oflice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or pur} After giving to the income of consideration than has in rece been given to any of the many other portant svits brought before it for settle ment, the Supreme Court of the United States has finally decided that the ur fair, inquisitorial and altogether iniqui itution income-tax law is wholly unce The decision is not a surprising one, for although some members of the court be- lieved the statute to hace a fust founda- tlon it was, nevertheless, the not-ifa: corclusion of the at maje of Americans that the tax could not t justified by those who were of the opinion that the best laws rest up rt The income-tax ty-third Congress, from the moment when it was first proposed to Increase the receipts of government by was generally regarded as class le Favored by the populists bec aimed only at in tife in matters finan tion gathered to itself th weak-kneed members of the parties who 1 more cloudy t ran into what seeinsd to the rhea those who had fal, ppert of th old political a trifle m to l most acceptable shelter.

Money the government must have or the executive wheels will cease io run. The means by which the necessary cash can be secured are two in number: bond is- sues or an extra session of Congress. Both are to some extent undesirable, but the general preference doubtless will be for the latte —__++ + —___ It has been very well understood that of the new garbage appropriation $40,000 were for the collection and removal in the ordi- rary way of the garbage, and that $20,000 were for incineration, reduction or other improved method of disposal. In fact, the law so states. The Commissioners are given power to lump, so to speak, these appropriations, but it certainly does not seem to be within the spirit of the law that the city should pay any part of this ,000 or at the rate of $60,000 a year un- less one of the modern methods of gar- bage disposal is installed. If the tempor- ary garbage contractor is paid for his four months’ service on the basis of an annual appropriation of $60,000 it may reasonably he assumed that he will be required to in- cinerate or reduce the garhage, and not be permitted merely to remove it as at pres- ent. As the law explicitly states that for the collection and removal only of garbage and dead animals but $40,000 are appro- priated, it is not to be presumed that the Commissioners will expend any part of the extra $20,000, appropriated for the pur- pose of giving to Washington the benefit of garbaze incineration or reduction, with- out securing to the capital this benefit. 2 —____ By this time President Dole and his asso- ciates in the government of Hawaii ought to be thoroughly well aware of the fact that the great majority of Americans are heartily in sympathy with the present ad- ministration of affairs in the Island Repub- lic. It is therefore difficult for the aver- age citizen of the United States to under- stand why the powers that he at Honolulu should, when they exiled the Hawaiian na- tional band, have permitted that more or less tuneful aggregation to move in this direction. If the band is not good encugh for Honolulu it is surely below the musical standard of this country, aithough it must be admitted that some of.the native Ha- waiian music heard in this country achieved considerable’ popularity ef a cer- tain sort. To the transportation of vi- ciously-active royalists to the United States there does not seem to be any ob- jection—this is the world’s haven of ref- uge—but the shipment hither of bands that are evidently below par may arouse a feeling of resentment not ertirely unjusti- fiable. va ST ee There were placed in position in the front wall of the new city post-office build- ing today stones bearing the inscription, “Anno Domini MDCCCXCVIL.” It is pre- sumed that the architect intended thts date to refer to the year in which the building is to be completed, but inasmuch as there were but cne hundred and eight men em- ployed on the structure today, the inscrip- tion mag have to be changed to August 17, 1906. ee The Presbyterian Assembly at Pittsburg has noted with disapproval the promulga- tion of a sensational circular intended to influence their election. ‘Their determina- tion to keep politics out of religion will be met with a great deal of approval. 0 New York has removed some of the re- strictions to walking on the grass in Central Park. This looks like an effort to coax Mr. Coxey away from Philadelphia. —o A few American newspapers are endeay- cring to justify Great Britain’s recent self- ish action in Bering Sea by reference to the non-payment of the sum of $425,000 which our State Department asked Congress to appropriate to settle the claims of Cana- dian sealers who, according to the general findings of the Paris court of arbitration on the question of jurisdiction, might be supposed to have suffered improper abridg- ment of seal-fishing privileges because of the activity of the United States police (force in the waters of the northern Pacific. ‘The error made by most of the newspapers in question is in infagining thgt the Paris tribunal as rendered a verdict ainst the United States in the sum ed. The court did nothing of the sort; it did not take into consideration any of the ¢ that had been cr might be made; it de: ms It only with general principles. As soon, however, as the arbitrators made public thelr decision, the Canadian sealers at once appealed to the British government for assistance in the arduous task of col- lecting money from the United States, the claims being based upon the announced conclusions of the Faris court as to juris- iction. Then followed correspondence be- tween the British government and our Department of State, and they agreed that the easiest way for the United States to get out of the muddle would be to pay the British government a lump sum of $425,000, which sum, of course, would be diy among the claimants. The agreement was most within the clu | ‘Tis I alone not binding and was—as all the parties understood—subject to congressional action. Congress insisted that there vas a better way than the payment of a lump sum as a compromise, and some members of -our national legislature even went so far as to intimate that the amount agreed to by the State Department was excessive and that most of the claims were fraudulent. The better way in the opinion of Congress was the organizing of an international com- mission to pass upon the allegations of the sealers who avowed themselves to be in- Jured persons, and then. when the commis- sion certified to the findings, Congress could take the matter up and appropriate the money called for by the vePAict. There is nothing on record to show that England is at all annoyed at the failure of Congress to coincide d& to the $425,000; no testimony to show that the British endeavor to em- barrass the United States in the work of seal protection has any other origin than British desire to encourage all British sub- Jects to get as much as they possibly can out of the heavens above and the earth beneath and the waters under the earth. uent upon the refiisal of Congress the tentative agreement between to rati the foreign office and ment will undoubtedly come a claims com- mission, by the conclusions of which Great Britain will probably get more than $425,- 000. That is a way Great Britain has. > e-—__ Peter Turney of T. ssee may for a while be officially addressed as “Governor” Turney, but it does not appear how any one who has read the evidence upon which he has been seated could honestly regard him as Tennessee's legitimate chief executive. At the polls an unmistakable majority of the votes was cast for Clay Evans, yet, with the machinery of state government in the hands of unscrupulous men, it has bean found possible to destroy over twenty and ballots and thus bring about a 1 of the popular decision. Against this conspiracy a large number of reputable democrats—all of whom, It is presumed, voted for Turney—have protested in vain, d now, so far as the seating of Turney is concerned, the design of the plotters has been consummated. In the eyes of the tical politician whose sympathies are with the democratic party the overthrow of Evans may seem to be a democratic victory; the patronage which the govegnor controls has been rescued, when it was al- shes of the republtcans and of itself this is doubtless regarded by some democrats as a matter of the greatest possible moment. Turney’s apostles may declaim as much as they please against the evils that might be consequent upon republican rule in Tennessea but they will some of these days have to acknowledge that a more short-sighted policy than the one they have adopted could hardly be planned; for the temporary advantage they have gained is as nothing when compared with the disadvantages that will locally and generally be suifered by the demo- cratic party because a political ring has set at naught the will of a majority of the voters of Tennessee. ——_+ + +____ In view of the fact that the income-tax law makes a worse impression every time the Supreme Court takes a look at it, it would perhaps be just as well for its friends not to press it further upon the attention of the justices. —~ -—____ Those who were precipitate in paying their income tax may get some comfort out of the reflection that under the circum- stances the government is likely to need every cent of the money. —_~—+2s__ A rumored declaration by Admiral Ste- phenson, of the British squadron at Nica- ragua, that the Monroe dogtrine is a myth looks very much like a piece of British jingoism. ———-_~ «+ ___ The country’s affairs are rapidly attain- ing the comfortabie point where nobody's wages are likely to be reduced excepting those of the professional labor agitator. ++ In spite of the solemn and repeated asser- ticns that the overhead trolley is not dan- gerous the Brooklyn street railway disas- ter continues to kill people. —___. + «+ —__ Bereft of the income-tax decisiof, the professional prophets are obliged to fall back on the weather once more. —— - 202 income-tax-collector-out-of-a-job is the most recent figure in political pathos. —— +e It is evident that the income tax went into the judicial ring twice too often. —__~- + +— SHOOTING STARS.
