ANOMALOUS ALLIANCE OF FORCES.
No democrat believing In state lines and
constitutional limitations of federal au-
thority has ever found any sound argu-
ment in favor of the late income tax law.
The democratic idea is that the city, the
school district, the county and state may
follow one into his private business and
his home to tax the revenue out of him,
but that the federal government has no
constitutional right to step over state lines
and constitutional limitations into the do-
main of local self-government and collect
direct taxes from the citizen. When an
emergency arises and income taxation be-
comes necessary the constitution provides
that the burden may be divided around
among the states in proportion to the pop-
ulation of each, thus dealing in effect with
the states as collective communities and
not severally with the individual constit-
uents of those communities. Nobody was
surprised to read the turbulent utterances
of Justice Harlan in the recent income tax
case. He is a republican. He had been a
professional candidate for years before
President Hayes appointed him to his
present high office as a reward for services
In the troublesome Packard frauds in Lou-
isiana. It was quite natural to expect him
to stand forth as a heroic advocate of a
plenary stretch of federal authority. He
astonished no democrat when in his dis-
senting opinion he declared that "this de-
cision may well excite the gravest appre-
hensions. It strikes at the very founda-
tion of national authority, in that it denies
to the general government a power which
is, or may at some time in a great emer-
gency such as that of war, become vital to
the existence and preservation of the
union." Nobody was surprised to hear
him ask in a tine strain of populistic ora-
tory: "Are those in whose behalf argu-
ments are made that rest upon favoritism
by the lawmaking power to mere property
and to particular sections of the country,
aware that they are provoking a contest
which in some countries has swept away,
in a tempest of frenzy and passion, exist-
ing social organizations and put in peril all
that was dear to the friends of law and
order?" He surprised no one when he de-
clared that "if this new theory of the con-
stitution, as I believe it to be, if this new
departure from the way marked out by
the fathers is justified by the fundamental
law, the American people can not too soon
amend their constitution." The surprising
and anomalous statements regarding this
assertion of unlimited power of federal tax-
ation for communistic or kindred purposes
come from so-called democrats who agree
In all these important points with republi-
cans of the Harlan stripe. It is matter for
astonishment that Justices Jackson and
White, claiming to be states rights demo-
crats, should stand up with this rabid
apostle of paternalism, of centralization,
and assert a willingness to wipe out state
lines, to open the private business of the
citizen to searches and seizures of ferret-
like federal inquisitors, to turn the country
over to an additional army of taxgetters
against whom the constitution expressly
provides. It is astonishing to find so-called
democratic newspapers ready to pander
to a populistic and communistic demand
for any opportunity whatever to stab to
the marrow the man of thrift and means
by joining Justice Harlan in his direful
predictions and in his demand for an
amendment to the constitution, giving the
federal government full authority to raid
the country at will. The following is a
sample of the new democracy upon which
Justice Harlan and his sort and the won-
derful latter day democrats are expected to
come torether. It is from the St. Louis
Republic. Head It:
"Amend the Constitution."—We renew
our suggestion of several weeks ago that
the democratic party make political issue
of the question of income taxation. Hy
a vote of live to four the supreme court
has declared that the framers of the fed-
eral constitution held a tax on incomes to
be direct tax. Congress Is prohibited by
that constitution from levying direct taxes
except in a manner that is Impractical, if
not Impossible. To raise money in the vsuy
proposed under the recent Income tax law,
the country must first change th^ consti-
tution. Let us change it. Party lines have
already been drawn, in a measure, on this
auestion. It was a democratic congress
that passed the rvsnt income tax law.
With a few exceptions the bill was sup-
ported by deorio rati and opposed by re-
publicans. y Let the lines be drawn more
tightly. ]/ tcrats are practically a unit on
the que/ and many republicans are
with )' Is not necessary to defend
Its details. The principle
n is what we must sup-
ax properly apportioned
uuia 4 by amci*4*J**
the constitution. Let the democratic party
take the lead in a movement to secure
such an amendment*
A federal income tax, even of the kind
for which the constitution provides, as
Senator Hill remarked at the recent meet-
ing of the New York democratic editors'
association, was never approved by any
democratic national convention and should
rever have been regarded or tolerated as
a democratic measure. The decision of the
majority of the court is in effect, as stated
by the Charleston News and Courier, that
"congress can not levy any tax on the citi-
zens of the states except it be levied on
them as citizens of the states, and be dis-
tributed and proportioned according to
population—the simple 'direct tax* which
alone is authorized by the federal consti-
tution. The decision is a direct and hard
blow at the fond republican doctrine and
theory of a centralized government. It
puts the state between the federal govern-
ment and the citizen. .The income tax law
has been decided to be unconstitutional,
and has been nullified by the supreme
court, because It gave the federal govern-
ment the privilege and power to reach out
its hand and collect a tax on his 'property'
directly from the citizen. Such a decision
could not but be a bitter pill to an ardent
apostle of the republican theory of our
government, and the tone of Justice Har-
lan's address is sufficient evidence of his
ardency." It is a monstrous anomaly that
any person claiming to be democratic
should clamor for the destruction of the
safeguards and limitations of the consti-
tution upon which all democratic princi-
ples must depend. It is impossible to con-
ceive that any democrat of the antl-cen-
tralizing school of constitutional conserva-
tism can make himself a party to such a
demand. _______
The Greenville Banner "would like for
this country to enjoy t'he prosperity that
our sister republic, Mexico, now enjoys on
a silver basis." In his great speech in
Dallas Hon. Joslaih Patterson of Tennessee
said!
Why, <?ome -of our populist friends point
to .Mexico as a prosperous country. The
truth is that Minister Romero of that coun-
try in his recent letter to Senator Morgan
of Alabama says that no greater wage is
paid now than was paid when silver had
twice the put-chasing power. Whenever you
see a prosperous business In Mexico it Is
based on the robbery of labor.
If some of the free silver liatists of this
country lived in iMexico they would be im-
prisoned or enslaved for debt.
Carrol Yates has moved his paper, the
Times, from Rancho to Karnes City.
In a recent letter to the New York Dem-
ocratic Editors' association President
Cleveland said:
When a campaign is actually on foot to
force the free, unlimited and. independent
coinage of silver by the government at a
ratio which will add to our circulation un-
restrained millions of so-called dollars in-
trinsically worth but half the amount they
purport to represent, with no provision or
resource to make good any deficiency in
value, and when it Is claimed that such a
proposition has any relation to the prin-
ciples of democracy It is time for all who
may in the least Influence democratic
thought to realize their responsibility. Our
party is the party of the peopl#, not be-
cause It is wafted hither and thither by
every sudden wave of misconception, but
because while it tests every proposition by
the doctrines which underlie its organiza-
tion, it insists that all interests should be
defended in 'the administration «of t'he gov-
ernment without special favor or discrim-
ination. Our party is the party of the
people, because in its care for the welfare
of all countrymen it resists dangerous
schemes born of discontent, advocated by
appeals to sectional or class prejudices and
reinforced by the insidious aid of private
selfishness and cupidity.
Colonel John W. Payne declares that the
assertion that Old Hickory was a gold>-
bug is a lie.
The money power continues to call round
on the first of the month.
Free silver flatism has in it one element
of danger which even the greenback craze
did not have. It is a movement in the in-
terest of powerful mine barons, whereas
the greenbackers had no such support.
Formosa has declared itself a little re-
public. I't wants no fantastic Japanese
ruler in its "business.
THE T. P. A. OF AMERICA
What this country needs is some justice
swift and sure like that visited by the
British upon Oscar Wilde and his man
Taylor. American judges sometimes make
themselves particeps crimlnls of criminals
whose cases they assist in staving off from
year to year.
Oscar Wilde was found guilty and given
two years at hard labor.

John Hall, jr., and William Royce, In jail
on a charge of rape, were hanged to a
bridge at Danville, 111., just as the first
streaks of daylight were seen in the east,
because citizens believed Governor Altgeld
would intercede for them just as he has re-
cently done in similar cases.
Lucky Baldwin, a California turfman, has
found out that many of the race tracks
are dominated by gamblers.
Colonel Hannibal H. Boone of Navasota
was elected to succeed Major General Ross.
General H. IS. Stoddard of Bryan, wth'ose
friends had urged him to stand for the
office, declined to oppose Colonel Boone,
whose nomination he seconded.

close but not official estimate of the repre-
sentation at the national convention of
each state division, which includes the
president and secretary of eac'h division,
who are by the constitution delegates at
large, and the delegates regularly elected,
is as follows:
Members-hip, Repre-
Aprtf 1. sen tat Ives.

Tennessee 787 10
Texas 864 11
Utah 23 3
Virginia 447 7
Wisconsin. 621 9
Totals 9,881 176
To this estimate, based on membership in
good standing of May 1, 1895, can safely be
added the following, to include additions
to membership in several divisions during
the four days including March 4, which was
the last day of the constitutional limit of
thirty days previous to the annual con-
vention, when membership shall be esti-
mated, upon which to base representation:
Missouri 1, Tennessee 1, making the total
vote for the convention, not counting the
presiding officer, 178. Florida has been
reorganized since May 1, and has a mem-
bership at Pensacola of about thirty.
Therefore, If she be allowed representation
at the convention, the total vote will be
181.
So far as elections have been held in the
various state divisions and returns mailed
to this office, we give a list of the officers
as follows: Only the newly elected presi-
dent, secretary and chairmen of commit-
tees are given, as they are the officers

seems to have addled the brains of so many
people who might otherwise be supposed
sensible.
We had another thunderstorm and copi-
ous rain here last night, and there is now
some prospect of water in the streams and
pools that have been dry so long.

SAM HOUSTON NORMAL.
Huntsville, Tex., May 26.—The Sam Hous-
ton normal commencement season Is on—
always a gala occasion in Huntsville. The
largest audience ever In the chapel, over
1200, were assembled this morning to hear
the commencement sermon delivered by
Right Rev. G. H. Klnsolvlng. The ser-
vices began with the long meter doxology,
In which the audience ioined, followed by
the reading of 15 John by the bishop, and
another song and prayer, after which
Bishop Kinsolving was presented to the
audience by Superintendent Pritchett, and
after expressing gratification at the honor
accorded la Inviting him to prsaob to this
vast assembly, took his text from St
Luke, 5, xxxix, "No man having drunk
old wine straight way desireth new, for
he saith the old Is better." The sermon
lasted nearly an hour, but was listened to
most attentively, and was pronounced a
magnificent discourse. Much good advice
was given the students soon to go forth*
from the normal. At the close of the ser-
mon "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," was ren-
dered by the choir, with the benediction
by the bishop.
The exercises to-morrow will consist of
regular school work, with the joint ses-
sion of the literary societies at night. All
trains are crowded and the city Is rapidly
lilllng up with visitors.
BAYLOR COLLEGE NOTES.
Belton, Tex., May 25.—Juniors, sopho-
mores and freshmen are looking forward
to next week, not without dread, as final
examinations will begin on Wednesday.
The event of last week was a reception
given by the Academia society to the His-
torical society. The evening was one of
continuous enjoyment, as the Academians
spared nothing to entertain their guests.
Delightful refreshments were served on
the college campus. The occasion will be
remembered as one of the pleasantest
events in the social life of the collude.
On Friday night Prof. Fountain enter-
tained the seniors and faculty in the col-
lege parlors. Miss Mead in her charming
manner made the occasion very pleasant
to all. After delicious refreshments had
been served Miss Mead ushered the guests
by tens into the "Studio of Mysteries."
Mrs. O'Connor won the urize. The scene
In the parlor on this night was one quite
different to the seniors from the one wit-
nessed on Monday night. Then it was
that the seniors read their graduating es-
says before the academic council for their
criticism.
Those on the commencement programmes
are busy in the preparation of their parts.
The commencement exercises of this,
Jubilee year," will no doubt be unusually
interesting.

Savannah News: Henry Haskell and MIsa
Knowles were the rival candidates for at-
torney general of Montana in the last elec-
tion. Haskell was elected, and Shortly
thereafter made Miss Knowles his assist-
ant. They are now engaged to be 'mar-
ried. Haskell is a republican and , tho
young woman is a populist. Haskell is a
brave man, and should have been elected
the commander of the state troops instead
of attorney general.
Boston Globe: The practice of giving
one's native town a public library is a
growing one, and an excellent one for our
rich men to make general. It has been
claimed that the brightest boys leave the
country to seek t'heir fortunes in the city.
There is nothing better that these success-
ful bright boys, when grown to prosperous
manhood, can do to perpetuate brightness
among the boys of their native towns, than
to endow these native towns with well-
equipped public libraries.

Philadelphia Ledger: There is talk of an
extra session of congress to provide more
revenue for the government, but it is
hardly likely that President Cleveland will
call a republican congress to provide a
larger revenue. The most obvious way of
doing so would be to amend the tariff law,
and it is extremely doubtful whemer the
new congress and the president could come
to any agreement on that subject. Besides,
Secretary Carlisle is an optimist on the
subject of revenue, and Is quite sure In
his own mind that existing laws will pro-
vide sufficient income when business has
sufficiently revived.

Washington Post: We learn that when
the time comes for Senator Sherman to
call the Ohio republican convention to-
gether he will be expected to produce a
key-note indorsing a sound currency, Mc-
Kinley for president, and Foraker for
United States senator. In view of the man-
ner In which certain Ohio republicans have
treated Senator Sherman In the past it oc-
curs to us that they also expect him to
be of the most forgiving nature. Perhaps
the senator will compromise by agreeing
to support McKlnley in the same manner
that McKlnley supported Sherman at Chi-
cago and Harrison at Minneapolis.

Chicago Record: No question which has
been thrust into politics in many years is
so deeply involved in various phases of
economics as Is that of silver. No Issue has
found the honest voter so perplexed and so
little biased one way or the other. The
voters are more open to conviction upon
the finance question than they have been
upon any other great public question of re-
cent years. What they need is information
and plenty of it. The only way to secure
an intelligent popular verdict upon the
question is to make it thoroughly under-
stood, and a first step in that direction is
to stimulate curiosity in what from the
outside appears a very dry and uninter-
esting matter of statistics and political
economy.

Philadelphia Times: With the south and
west almost swallowed up by the cheap
money craze a grave duty is imposed upon
every good citizen. The truth must be pre-
sented/ to the people and It must be pre-
sented boldly In every part of the coun-
try. There never was an issue before the
American public that could be so clearly
and conclusively presented to the citizen
of average Intelligence as the Issue of 'hon-
est money; and whenever those who be-
lieve in maintaining public and private
credit shall make common cause for this
most vital attainment, the silver craze will
be halted and the nation will speedily
gravitate to Its old moorings 4" favor of
absolutely honest money.

Philadelphia Record: A law has recently
been passed by the Mexican congress
which levies an additional mining tax of
5 per cent upon all precious metals; and
almost slmultaneonusly a concession and
a subsidy have been granted by that body
to an American syndicate to construct a
railway to Ocampo, the richest mining dis-
trict of Chihuahua. The effect of over-
taxing industries, according to universal
experience, has been to ruin small pro-
ducers and create trusts and monopolies,
and the subsidy granted to the Ocampo
railway is an aggravation of this evil. The
"Americanization" of Mexico upon lines
which tend to enrich the few at the ex-
pense of the many can scarcely be com-
mended.
