brought an ac tion against the township
for $10,000 damages by reason of the

coroner's inquest that while he was

Ex Senator li. 1. Laikd, of (Jreens
burg, who has made a careful study of
the income tax law, has discovered
juestions involving the constitutionality
of the act. The senator says:
All share holders of stock in the banks
or railroads aud other corporations pay
ing dividends, under the operation of
the act of congress will pay the tax of li
I-r cent., whether their income exceeds
I.(HKi, or whetherit fall below that sum,
i f derivetl solely from the dividends of
uch institutions. These corporations
will pay the tax and deduct it from the
dividend, which is the same as .though
each individual shareholder should pay
it himself. If any has an income of
$.",;in0, no part of which is derived
from such corporations or from state or
municipal Umds, the internal revenue
department will allow him to deduct
$4. IN M from his income and only pay a
tax of '2 er cent, on $1,K0. If a wid
ow has an investment of $2,000 in any
of these corporations, paying her a G per
C 'nt dividend, or f 120 per annum, and
this is all the income she has, she niu:t
pay a tax of J2.40 on this income.
Coon oleomargarine, says the Phila
delphia lit foul, cannot lie differentiated
from good butter either by the sense of
sight or smell or taste, tiood oleomar
garine is as much lietter than xor but
ter as good butter is lietter than soap
grt ase. These are facte which the legis
lature cannot retieal. It is folly, antl
worse thau folly, to fight against new
chemical or mechanical discoveries
w hit h enable men to improve and in
crease the means of liviug and to turn
waste substances to use and profit. The
effect of puttiug an embargo on the con
sumption of the oleomargarine in one
part of the country is to drive the pro
duct into other parte of the country and
into the foreign markets ujion which
we depend for the sale of any surplus
we may have of butter. Competition is
uot destroyed. The general average
of prices depends upou the general aver
age iu all the markets; aud unless oleo
margarine can lie kept out of all mar
kets, or unless its manufacture can lie
successfully prevented by legal pains and
l-enalties, it is a mere waste of effort to"
liar its sale in Pennsylvania.
it is right enough, aud proper en
ough, to make regulations forbidding
the sale of oleomargarine as butter; and
to sell it for butter is a fraud. Thtjse
who buy butter should get it. Hut
oleomargarine is a wholesome and pala- ,
lit. l - - r m .
lame suntuiuie ior nutter, and it is an
outrage to either interdict its sale or its
manufacture. Despite all restriction, it
goes into surreptitious use. Even the
butter-makers enrich and cheapen their
product with oleo (oil), and sell it for
biittei without any special qualms of
conscience.
There is neither ordinary business sa
gacity uor good morals in the legislation
which keeps out of Pennsylvania a
wholesome footl product, and rears up
amoug us a pestdeut brood of spies and
of ortuer.
The dark and bloody ground of Ken
tuckys says the Pittsburg W, is likely
to be made a little more so by the oattle
over financial i.ues this summer. The
election takes place in August, antl the
legislature then elected will have the se
lection of a Cnited States senator in
place of Senator Blackburn, who has
announced himself asa candidate for re
election on a radical free coinage plat
form, at the ratio of lo to 1 and regard
less of what other nations may or may
not do. Secretary Carlisle will take the
field aud make at least one speech be
fore the opening of the canvass, and
there is no doubt he w ill antagonize the
position of Senator Blackburn on the
currency question. It may be that S-c-retary
Carlisle will become a candidate
for the senate, us the Blackburn term
commences with the expiration of the
Clevelend administration on the 4th of
March, 1S'.'7. But this is hardly proba
ble uuless to solve a deadlock. In addi
tion to Senator Blackburn the announ
ced candidates are ex CJovernor Buckner,
Congressman McCreary, Governor Brown
and W. C. P. Breckinridge. They will
all take the stump in Kentucky fashion,
and the fur will commence to lly in a
few weeks. The Conrii-r Jnmixil and
Mi. Watterson, who are a power in
Kentucky, autagoni.e free coinage, and
give a strong support to the financial
(olicy of the national administration.
The Kentucky Republicans see hojies
for themselves in the expected Demo
cratic divisiou on the silver questjou.
Following Seuator Blackburn's strong
declaration in favor of free coinage, the
Republicans of the senator's county of
Woodford have taken an advauce step,
and iu county convention on Tuesday,
to select delegates to the state conven
tion of their party, took ground not
only against free coinage of silver at any
and at all times, but resolved in favor of
the gold standard as the chief corner
stone of our national monetary sys
tem." Sound money conventions under
Democratic auspices are to lie held in
Nashville and Memphis next month,
but the Tennessee legislature has de
clared for free coinage, anil Senator
Harris has put himself on the same plats
form.
able. A campaign of education is never
onesided. Let every Democrat hear
what both side-; have to say in coming
discussions of the silver question, weigh
the arguments as he would tne evidence
if he were sitting on a jury, and then
decide which will be best for the coun
try. Up to this time most of the talk
ing has been done Lv one side.
Secretary Morton is always interested
in everything connected with the food
supply tif the people; hence it is not sur
prising that he should be devoting his I
time and the power of the department
of agriculture to heading off the e.xtor
tion of the beef trust. If he had his
wav, and President Cleveland and the
other memlKTs of the cabinet agree with
him, the tariff of - per cent, ad velor
em on foreigu cattle would at once be
abolished, but only congre ss can do that
As the next best thing Secretary Mor
ton has amended tln' rules of his depart
ment so as to admit Mexican cattle if
they have been ii spected by our otli
cials. Speaking of the result of tiiis
move Dr. Salmon, uhief of the bureau
of animal industry of the department of
agriculture, said : "It is guesswork to
make an estimate of how many caK'.e
will he brought from Mexico. 1 here is
no census of the cattle in North Mexico
We have no figures to go by. Nor have
we any accurate news as to what propur
portiou of the cattle there are ready for
slaughter. But what is known might
encourage a belief that the number of
cattle brought in from Mexico during
the next month will be heavy. Once
lief. hi- we let down the bars to the in
coming of Mexican cattle and within a
month iIo.immi were brought in Prob
ably the number wiil reach lOO.OtMl this
time." From the very marked varia
tions in the recall price of beef in diff.-r
ent cities Secretary Morlimi is inclined
i-.i believe that the retailer is squeezing
the consumer harder than he htn-.s. It is
being squeezed by the tni-t lie is icu
making an investigation of tne whole
business. He .-aid: "My bt !. f is that
a beef ring exists among the big slaugh
terers. 1 he dim uity now hetore us is

thing is done the papers will have to do
it. The Sherman anti-trust will neither
punish nor protect. We've gone all
through it with a micro-cope, and it is
clear that it was ma le to be evaded an.!
gone around. There is nothing left but
the whip of public opinion and that
mils', be vigorously wielded by the pain-rs.
Hon. Dorman B. Eaton, of Ohio, who
claims to have drafted the civil service
law, and who was the first civil service
commissioner, is in Washington. He
paid the President a high compliment
when he said: "For the courage Presi
dent Cleveland has shown in executing
this reform; for his faithful adherence
to the law, he is deserving of the high
est praise. I am a Republic. m, but on
this question, as iu his stand for a sound
system of currency, Mr. Cleveland has
shown himself such a true patriot that
ail questions of partisanship are lost
sight of, and he deserves just as much
credit from Republicans as he does from
his own followers."
Attorney (leneral ( llney has filed a
brief with the supreme court against any
rehearing of the income lax cases which
does not ii elude a rehearing of that p-ir
tion of the tax declared to he unconsti
