REFOWICH'S NEW CLOTHING STORE, CENTRE STREET, FREELAI, PA WHAT THEM OF IT Prominent Views on the In come Tax Decision. Senator Hill is Gratified—Sure tho Whole Act Will Eventually Bo De clared Unconstitutional Chaun cey Depow Says It Is a Nloo Law- Henry George Denounces It. "Washington, April 9.—Senator Hill of Isew lork, who more thaa any one el.se antagonized tho enactment of tho income tax into law when it was before the senato, was an interested spectator and close listnor in tho court room when tlio opinion was handed down yesterday. Hill Is Gratified. . gratified, said Seun- TP'l A a "'t'-' 1 Press representative, at the decision of tho court by a vote of (i to h, on two important quostions in volved in the act. They are both ques tions I had carefully considered and vig orously pressed in the senate among other objections to the law. For myself! 1 have never had any doubt that the tax imposed by tho income tax law, is a direct tax in all its features, and, heuce, an unconstitutional tax. I naturally think the opinions of Justices Fuller and r ield are very able and convincing and will receive the approval of the bar throughout tho United States. C !" B f Le K islatl °n of the Worst Kind. there never was any good reason for the enactment of the income tax law. It was pressed upon congress by a lot of populists, socialists, cranks and dis turbers and their views wore unwisely adopted. It was class legislation of tho worst kind. From a political point of fo "y to ad °i >t legislation of that character. Excellent Tor the Country. ''The effect of the dociston will, In my Judgment, be excellent for tho country. I have no question hut that the whole I" 1 1 eventuaiiy he declared uncon stitutional iho llrst act of the next congress should be to repeal tho law and atone for our blunder; unfortunately the republicans will get tho benefit of the repeal. It would he the most su premo folly on tho part of the democratic party to maintain an income tax law now, when some of its principal features have already been declared to he uncon stitutional." OPINIONS IN NEW YORK. Vioivs of Chauncey Dopow, Henry George and Others. w orlx, April 9.—Tho announce ment of the result of the decision of the supreme court in the income tax law created something of u stir in this otty ami many bankers, brokers, capitalists anil professional men gave their opinions on the subject. A Nloo Law, Says Chauncey Depow. Chauncey M. Dopew, president of the Now York Central railroad, said he thought the decision, so far as it applies To- rU f' ustat0 > was an excellent law. 'Under the decision," he went on, "the capitalist who derives all his incomo from tenement houses, flat houses, ho tels and the like is not required to pay a dollar of taxes. The unfortunate man who rents places from him, however, but who makes his living in u different wo tftxutl lu:av "y- That Is a nloe Preposterous, Hnys Henry Georgo. Henry George: "In my opinion that part of tho court that held the law to be unconstitutional Is right. As the in come tax now practically stands, it is even more preposterous than it was as originally passed." Views of Judge Dillon. Judge John F. Dillon saidi "This will he tho turning point in the minds of many people who have been undecided whether to buy municipal or railroad Umda. It will add very much to the uoHiitiunity oi municipal oonda when people know they are not subject to taxation. It will not effect the railrouds especially, I think. The sustaining of the court's decision in the matter of the income tux seems to me quite constitu tional and I expected it." Henry Clews Deplores the Decision. "It is a most unfortunate decision," said Henry Clews. "The tax will now be paid with a feeling that it is uncon stitutional, and will be given under pro test in the hopo that it will eventually bo returned. The courts should have been either overwhelmingly on 0110 side or the other, and then there would have been confidence in the decision. It is dispiriting for the hardworking people to have to pay a tax on their income while the Astors pay nothing on their inherited wealth." Hetty Green liclievcs It All Wrong. Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in America, when told of the news from Washington, said: "They should have declared the whole bill unconstitu tional. It's all wrong, every bit of it. We have too many taxes as it is." POLITICS IN CHURCH AFFAIRS. President Cleveland's Brother To Be Asked To llcsign His Pastorale. Watertown, N.

Washington, April 9.—The president, on being asked whether, in view of tho decision of the supremo court on the in come tax law, an extra session of con gress would be called, said that neither he nor tho secretary of the treasury saw any necessity for such action, and that unless there was an unexpected change in conditions, he had no idea that con gress would meet again before tho time appointed for Its regular session.

Other members of tho cabinet dropped in later, among tliom tho attorney-general.

Justfco Field Alone Against It. Mr. Justice Field was against tho whole act alone. On the question of whether the other provisions are valid in view of tho unconstitutionality of a part of the law, tho court was oqually divided. Besides tho majority opinion on tho un constitutionality of the two sections re ferred to, which was rood by Chief Jus tice Fuller, throe othor opinions were rendered, one by Mr. Justice Field to the effect that the whole law was uncon stitutional, another by Mr. Justico White disagreeing with him in toto, and a third opinion by Mr. Justice Harlan, who differed with the majority of tho court on tho subject of rentals from real estate, the tax on which he held to bo constitutional. Outlook Uncertain. Other suits will be brought to test tho balance of the law.

No Disguising the Fact of the Rapid Spread of tho Revolution—Govern ment Troops Landed Have Accom plished Little, if Anything—Every thing Fuvoriug the Rebels. Madrid, April B.—There is no doubt in the minds of those close to the govern ment that the situation in Cuba is con sidered of tho gravest concern by the of ficials and there is a strong feeling of alarm as to tho final outcome. That tho revolution is spreading and at a danger ous rate, too, there is no denying. The troops sent from Spain have done noth ing, unless, perhaps to temporarily retard tho growth of the revolt. It is generally believed that General Martinez Campos will not bo able to commence operations before September. Ho will arrive in Cuba in May, but ho cannot complete tho necessary prepara tions before June, at which date begins the rainy season, which will put a stop to military operations for a period of three months. Meanwhile, the insur gents will have plenty of opportunity to prepare their grounds and even to pro claim a provisional government. If a provisional government is recog nized by any American government a most serious blow will have been struck at the Spanish rule in Cuba. The do mestic troubles of the Spanish govern ment likewise are great, and for twenty years past Spain has not found herself face to face with a position of such dif ficulty as the present. Havana, Cuba, April B.—Consul General Willinms is preparing his resignation on account of his difficulties with the Span ish government. Tho consul's resigna tion is tho outcome of a long scries of misunderstandings with tho government. It is understood here that Secretary Gresham upbraided tho consul for Ills outspoken ways. This has rankled in the consul's mind, and his resignation follows, because he is tired of tho affair. Santiago de Cuba, April B.—The revo lution spreads every day. About twenty persons disappear every night to join tho insurgents in the field. Bands of insur gents are within two miles of the city. The government has no troops on hand with which to control tho situation, and has not taken any vigorous measures for fear of having the majority of the in habitants join the rebels. New York, April B.—A special from Key West, Fla., says: It is rumored hero that Julio Sanguilly will bo sent from Havana to Spain on April 15 and re leased there. It is also said that Juan Gualberto Gomez will bo started forMat anzas and shot on the way, ostensibly while he is trying to escape. SIGNS OF IMPROVING TIMES. Postofflco Department Report a Large Incrcuso in Snlo of Stamps. Washington, April B.—The auditor's division of the postoffice department has just completed the settlement of accounts of postoflices for the last quarter of tho calendar year, 1894, and tho figures, as compared with those of the same quarter of 1898, are viewed with much satisfac tion by the officials.
