The new constitution of Utah ha Dbeen formulated and is now ready for approval or disapproval by the presi- dent. Inasmuch as all signs point to the election of a republican legislature | and republican senators, Mr, Cleveland mey not be in a very great hurry to give his sanction to the document. The city ordinances relating to the construction of theaters embody pro- visions for the protection of the public which should by all means be enforced without fear or favor.

Curtis, who resident corvespondent at for near wventy years, prediets that republicans wili not make an alliance with populists in organizing the senate next winter, because they must realize that it will be a dangerous thing to do and that it will be a great deal better for them to preserve their dignity and independence rather than occupy a com- promising position before the country. Mr. Curtis may be correct, but there is no telling what trading politicians may do when it comes to a struggle for pat- ronage. The dispensary law continues to be the bone of contention in South Caro- lina.

There would be millions in it if an ounce of sflver which is now mined protitably at 65 cents would sell for $1.290 at the United States mint. The trouble would be, however, that the mintage of silver bullion at such a ratio would cause the government to suspend gold payments within a week and the coined standard dollars would be worth no more than are the silver dollars minted in Mexico under free coinage. They would be worth their market price in bullion and gold would be quoted at a premium, Just as it was between 1682 and 1878, The law requires every corporation, Including banks, loan and trust com- panies and other eoncerns that deal in securities, (o make annual returns of thelr real property and chattels to the assessor the same as all other corpora- tions and individuals. It appears, how- ever, that some of these moneyed cor- porations positively decline to fill out assessment blanks under pretense that they propose to deal directly with the county commlssioners, Such evasion of the statutes should net be counte nanced. Suppose all the other corpora tlons and assessable individuals should do the same thing and insist on dealing direetly with the commissioners and the city council, where wounld the thing end? Why should the county commis- sloners make flesh of of one class property owners aud fish of amother. class? INCOME TAX D lie Income tax kw is void. By a vote of five to four the supreme court of the | United States has declared the law un constitutional. This result is due to a l.h.mg of position by Justice Shiras | from that whieh he took of the first { hearing. Tt will be remembered that when the previons decision was handed | down the court was evenly divided on the guestion involving the validity of {the cutire law. Justices Iarlan, | Brown, Sn and White aflirming the constitutionality of the law in whole or in part, and Chief Jus tice Fuller, Justices Field, Gray and Brewer holding that the law, as !: whole, W unconstitutional. On the rehearing Justice Shiras joined the latter, while Justice Jackson, who not present at the first hearing concerning whose position there been much voted to the law, There was no change in the v | the court regardin those the law upon which the was rendered. Taxes on rents or in come of 1 estate personal property or the income from such prop orty mliiedly declared (o he divect and therefore cannot be constitutionally levied except by appor a8 wis and 1l surmise, sustain s of | | | first decision and on ung, taxes tionment mmong the states according to representation. The court remained | unaninous in the opinion that congress cannot tax the ineome from state and municipal bonds. Having announced their adhe to former conclusions | the wajority of the court suy: “We are | now permitted to broaden the field inquiry and determine to which of the two great classes a tax upon a person's entire income, whether derived from rents or products, or otherwise, of real estate, or from bonds, stocks, or other forms of personal property, belongs, and {we are unable to conclude thot the en | foreed subtraction from the yield of all the owner's real or personal property, | in the manner preseribed, is so different from a tax upon the property itself that it is not a diveet but an indire in | the meaning of the constitution.” Here |is a comprehensive definition what constitutes a direct tax, but the justification of it is very clearly and strongly set forth in the decision, which bears evidenee of most careful and con- us deliberation- and preparation. | Having stated the reasons for declaring the law unconstitutional, the court si gests that there is no real ditliculty in the way of congress raising any amount of needed revenue by an income tax apportioned among the several states upon the hasis of census, but only in t exigeney is there likely ever attempt to do this. The de the income tax law of to say, put an end hing like a serious demand for ixlation. A few political dem- ay endeavor to keep alive favorable to an income tax, will hardly be able to secure following. Only in the event of a war which should make a demand upon the resources of tlie government that could not be met by ordinary methods of taxation will there ever come from any responsible quarter the proposal of an income tax, and never under any circumstances will there again be proposed a tix so essen- tially incquitable and unfair as that which the supreme court has declared vold. g The decision will be approved by a large majority of thoughtful and fafr-minded citizens, The supreme court weakened itself somewhat in popular confidence by its failure to pass upon the constitutionality of the law at the first hearing, but it will now regain what was then lost of public respect. It is pertinent to remark that partisan feeling had manifestly nothing to do with influcncing the decision, the four democratic members of the court having divided equally for and against sus- taining the law. The decision will de- prive the treasury of revenue estimated at about $15,000,000, and the ex penditures still exceed the receipts this loss of revenue may prove to be some- what embarrassing, but that is a mat ter of minor importance in comparison with the settlement of a great question of constitutional taxation and the set- ting aside of an unequal and unjust law. nee very of scient some greg to be any cision against 1804 will, it to an, such agogues 1 sentiment but the any considerable as A PROSPECTIVE MINING BOOM. Perhaps there is no better authority as to the outlook for the gold and silver mining interests than Mr. D. H. Moffat of Denver, who Is very extensively en- gaged in mining operations. In an interview with a representative of the New York Tribune Mr. Moffat predicted a boom in mining at an early day, ob- serving that no other industry offers such possibilities, and he gave the fig- ures of dividends which various mines have paid in justification of his state- ment. He expressed the opinion that the recent discovery of gold deposits at Cripple Creek and also in the gold belt of Leadville will exceed anything found In this country since the days of Cali- fornia In the way of gold mining and the districts are hardly opened as yet. A number of mines mentioned by Mr, Mofrat have paid in the aggregate about | $10,000,000 in dividends and they are now being operated at a profit, while other mining properties of a most prom- ising kind are being developed as v idly as practicable and equipped with the most approved applianc It is not only the gold mines that are paying generous dividends. Many of the silver mines are also being worked at a good profit, even at the present commercial price of the white wetal. | The figures given by Mr. Moffat refute | the claim of the silver mine owners that | the mining of silver is not profitable, and the fact that new mines are being put inte operation conelusive ovi- dence against the claim. The fact is that except as 10 a few out-of-the-way | mines, where the yield Is small, silver | production has heen constantly profits | Dle, especially in Colorado, and all the | outery to the contra s been largol | for effect in creating sentiment favor {able to the free colnage of silyer. | It s estimated that the output of ¥otd | from Colorado this year will be near! | 20,000,000 and that of silver abont §15 | 000,000 In value. The tendency for the last two % has been to develop gold mining, and this will doubtless continue 10 be the case, but silver mining is by is of | THE OMAHA DAILY HYE: no means being neglected.

But The Bee should particularize Seavey's “short | comings in handling the police,” it it expects to have Its fight against him entitled to suc- cess. * * * The people of this city are entitled to discipline and good order in the police force and these should not be sacrificed in order to please one man who iniagines that the chiet duty of a public official is to please the editor of The Bee.—World-Herald The Bee that Mr. Seavey" overzealous friends compel it to do some plain talking in regard to Mr. Senvey, but it will not shrink the duty imposed upon it. Eight years ago when Captain Seavey was made chief of po- lice of Omaha the foree of patrol- men numbered thivty and the men were literally raw recruits foisted on the marshal by ward heelers who used the police for politieal ends. The police commission law sought to divorce the police from polities and gave the chief of police enlarged powers coupled with ter responsibility. As a volunteer union veteran Captain Seavey brought to the task of police reorganization his army tacties and military discipline but he never was cut out for a police officer and never acquired the tact that makes a police chief the terror of the criminal classes. In fact, Chief Seavey today could not detect or spot a crook if he passed in front of his nos This is, howeve not his worst fail- ing. Ilis vulnerable spot has been lack of the mo stamina so essentinl to an efficient head of police. e sup- pressed smoking among his men while on duty, but tolerated their consorting with gamblers, patronizing disorderly houses and the levy of blackmail upon keepers and inmates of brothels and other eriminal resorts. He encouraged gift-taking and soliciting of gifts from this class of people and winked at seandals that should have caused per- emptory disni of dissolute detec- tives. The figure which Mr. Seavey has been cutting in police chic ventions cuts no figure in the true mate of his eapacity as a police chief. He is a good figurchead on dress pa rade, very much like two or three pa- ade marshals in our midst, who would strut themselves to death with a feather stuck back of their heads. It is not fuss and feathers that constitutes the most essential quality in a chief of police, but unbending integrity and an instinetive scent of the professional criminal. The recent police investigation w farce. Nobody appeared to take inte est enough to substantiate charges which were matters of common notori- oty. Mr. S ras exonerated and that should have been satisfactory to him and his friends. Mr. Seavey cer- tainly has no cause for finding fault with the treatment orded to him by The Bee or its editor. The Bee fought his battles and that of good govern- ment when the attempt was made to abolish the commission and oust him from office and the editor of The Bee was instrumental in holding Mr. Seave in his place when he despaired of being sustained under the Broateh regime and had tendered his resignation. The in- timation that The Bee has turned its back upon Seavey because Seavey did not snecze every time The Bee editor took snuff is in keeping with all the stupid gabble coneerning the attempt of the editor of The Bee to boss the police and fire departments. In all the eight years since Seavey has been chief of | police the editor of The Bee has had no | more than five or six talks with him and all these talks put together did not take up one hour. Mr. Seavey has never lad a chance to refuse The Bee or its editor a request for political assistance in any je, form or manner. ke has never been approached divectly or indirectly to play any part in a political campaign | to sustain the editor of The Bee and ’l\\-\'vl' lhas been asked to contribute a dime toward any eampaign on behalf of the editor of The Bee. The Bee would have cheerfully stood up for Chief Seavey and fought his battles now as it did eight years ago had his record and conduet been de- | fensible. a may an were ion his has is pave snee a Chicago papers complain bitter! about the low assessment of vacant elty lots.
