THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: APRIL 18, 1895.
1. Oil'S Bj FILED.
Grounds Upon Wbicb tba Attorney-
General Asks a Rehearing on
the Income Tax.
PRINCIPLES TOO IMPORTANT. =
They Will Decide Whether or Not 11
Country Mu»t Ilrfuml Income
Tax Money Levied Under
Other Lain.
Washington, Aprfl 17.—Attorney Gen
eral OIney today filed In the supreme
court of the United State# a brief 1 upcm
the petition for a rehearing of the In
come tax onsee. It was not expected at
the department of Justice or at the court
that the government wouj"!! respond to
the notice by Mr. Guthrie of the Intention
of counsel to ask a rehearing, and some
surprise was expressed at the appearan««
of the document. The attorney general's
brief was ae follows:
"The United States respectfu^y repre
sents that, if a rehearing Is granted tt
should cover all the legal and constitu
tional questions Involved and not merely
tihoee as to what the court are equally
divided.
**2. Whether a tax on incomes gener
ally. Inclusive of rents and Interest or
dividends from investments of all kinds,
is or Is not a direct tax within the mean
ing of the federal constitution, Is a mat
ter upon which, as on the original ques
tion, the government has really never
been heard. Its position at the argument
was that the question had been settled
by an exposition of the constitution prac
tically contemporaneous with Its adop
tion—by a ttub*«HUvSt unbroken
judicial precedents, by the concurring
and repeated action of all the depart
ments of the government and by the con
sensus of ail text writers and authorities
by whom the subject has heretofore been
considered.
"2. The Importance to the government
of the new views of Us taxing power, an-
trouned in the opinion of the chief Justice,
can hardly be exaggerated.
"First. Pushed to their logical conclu
sion they practically exclude from the di
rect operation of the power all the real
estate of tlhe country and all Its Invested
personal property. They exclude it, be
cause If It Is realty and personalty they
are taxable only by the rule o/ apportion
ment, then the Inevitable qualities re
sulting from such a plan of taxation are
fo gross and flagrant as to absolutely de
bar any resort to U.
"That audn Inequalities must result ie
practically admitted, the only suggestion
In reply being that the power to directly
tax reality and personalty was not meant
for use as an ordinary every-day power;
that Hhe United States was expected to
rely for Its customary revenue upon Im
ports, duties and excises, and that i‘
should Impose direct taxes only In extra
ordinary emergencies and as a sort of
dernier resort.
"It is submitted that a construction of
the constitution^, of such vital import'
ance In itself and requiring In its sup
port an imputation to its framers of a
specific purpose, which nothing In the
text of the constitution has any ten
dency to reveal, cannot he too carefully
considered before helng finally adopted.
"Second. Though of minor consequence
K is cor tally Foie van t to point out that if
the now expositions of the constitution
referred to Is to prevail tho United States
has, under previous Income tax laws, cob
looted vast sums of money which on ev
ery principle of justice It ought to re
fund and which it must be assumed that
congress wtll deem Itself bound to make
provision for refunding by appropriate
legislation.'*
TIHKD WOMEN.
The Housewife, the Farmer and the Toll
ers of All Vacations.
Degression of the nervous system at the
approach of spring is a fertile source of
bJood impurities. That tired feeling,
which Js tho natural result of the de
pressing effect of warm weather imme
diately after the invigorating cold of
winter, quickly disappears when Pe-ru-na
Is taken- Thousands are dartly testifying
to It* priceless benefit. General lassitude,
dull, heavy senaaitlons, continual tired
feelings, with irregular Appetite ami
sometimes loss of sleep. Pe-ru-na meets
every Indication and proves itself to be
perfeotty adapted to all their varied pe
oulfarttiles. Pe-ru-na Invigorates the eye
tern, rejuvenates the feeling*, restores
the normal appetite hnd procures regular
sleep.
This tired-out feeling Is especially true
of the housewife in spring lime—used up,
fagged out, Jaded an1 weak. There are
thousands of them everywhere. A few
bottles of. Pe-ru-na would do them untold
benefit. As atonic and nerve invlgorator
it has no equal. It builds up the nerves,
It gives strength to tho circulation and at
once restores the appetite and digestion.
No feeble woman should be without
Pe-ru-na.

NICARAGUA'S NEW MINISTRY.
Men Who Will Settle the Little Dis
pute With England.
Washington, April 17.—Louis Baker,
United States minister to Osta Rica,
Honduras and Nicaragua, reports to
th-> department of state the re-organl-
ration of the ministry of Nicaragua as
follows:
Foreign Affairs—(Manuel Coronel
IMatus.
Interior—Gen. Francisco Balladores
Teran.
War and Marine—Gen. Ruchen
Alonzo.
Finance—Santiago Caltejns.
The Nlcraguan minister. Dr. Guz
man. up to 2 p. m. today had received
no additional Information from Nica
ragua regarding the difficulties be
tween his government and England.
Nicaragua ztlll feels that the matter
Is one which ought to be properly ar
bitrated and her reply to Great Bri
tain binds her to accept any conclusion
which may be reached as a result of
nrbltrktlon. Great Britain, on the oth
er hnd, asserts that the expulsion of
Mr. Hatch was In «l sense nil Insult
to her majesty's gov-mment and will
Insist upon the payment of 175.000 of
"smart” money, although entirely sat
isfied to leave any of the other points
tn dispute to the decision of an arbitra
tion tribunal. No belligerent news of
any kind has reached the state or navy
departments or the Nicaraguan minis
ter.
THE NEW COTTON PEST.
I». Will Probably Not Thrive tn North
ern Cotton Districts.
Washington. April 17.—The depart
ment of agriculture ha* sent an addi
tional expert South tn InvMt'.gsrs the
habits of the new cotton w»vvl, which
las been Imported Into Texas from
Mexico. Entomologist E A Schwarz
has gone to San Antonio, Texas, to
make a study of the bblts of the wee
vil. It 1* a semi-tropical Insect, and
although It mny thrive In the nower
corner of Texas, which Is semi-tropi
cal III character, tt !• believed that
not many generations can survive
the climate of the states north of
Texas whegt cotton Is grown. AH the
United States cotton b-H, with the
exception of this small region of Texas
forming the point around Brownsville
on the Bln ilrsndo, lv»l ires to n'lr.t
Is known as the lowe* Austral region,
and the habits of I'-scct* import. .1
Into that region are bound to change
from the habits of the same Insect
■when found in the semi-tropical region
These differences caused In the change
of climate are to be :he special study
of the entomologist who has gone
South. One thing so far discovered a
that the Insect cannot tty very will
north of the Mexican boundary, and
1-ft to Its own exer'.i>ns it might lot
be a dangerous pest. The chief cause
for alarm, however, an-’-w from the
fact that the Insect nat been carried
north In ut.ginned cotton, and attar
reaching the cotton belt It la ab’.e to
survive the climate.

WORKMEN VISIT BISMARCK.
Encouraging Words from the States
man to Workingmen.
Frledrichsruhe, April 17.—The
morning opened clear and bright.
Prince Bismarck arose earlier than
usual and In good health and spirits.
The visiting guilds arrived at noon in
three special trains. The visitors, with
bands of music and banners, met and
formed In procession In the park un
der the direction of Chief Forester
Lange and marched to the veranda of
the castle, where they were met by
Prince Biemarck. Two beer booths
were erected In the park. Herr Foster,
on behalf of the Berlin guild of arti
sans, addressed the ex-chancellor, who
"I have In the last few weeks re
ceived a great many ovations, but
none of them was as unanimously
representative as yours, in which all
of the German trades and crafts are
united. I also atn a craftsman nnd a
hu-abandmen. We are all one large
producing class, and must not allow
ourselves to be disturbed by our oppo
nents. I tried to legislate In favor of
the trades, but the relchstag resisted
arid tired me out.
“I wished the trdeomnn, when he be
came aged, to be fairly supcrnnuated
like the sollder who has served out his
time. It is the fault of green table
bureuacraey that we cannot make the
guilds obligatory, but we can
make It to the advantage of all noti-
organlzed tradesmen to Join the guilds.
"X had hoped to base I he electorla!
laws upon the organization of trades,
guilds and crafts. If you organize you
will effect a greatly different "relchstag
from the one of today, which under
the sway of Wludthorst 1« composed
of a majority of the enemies of na
tional unity.
"Do not allow yourselves to be led
by drones. You cannot get rid of
drones as bees do, (Cheers) but you
can otherwise defend your rights.
"The military classes are armed
onough to defend themselves, and you
should orgnize for the same purpose.”
The prince’s speech was received
with tremendous cheering.
FELL SIXTY FEET.
Dean's Death Was Due to His Own
Carelessness.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 17.—William
Dean », is Instantly killed and John
Reef and Harry Goshen were seriously
Injured in a peculiar elevator accident
In the new Arrot building this morn
ing. George Bnllman, the Pittsburg
manager for the Crane Eleva
tor Company, was testtug the ele
vator, and, together with John
Reef, who was running the carriage,
went up to tile seventh floor. Dean,
who was a plasterer, ran a board
across the elevator opening to finteh
some of his work. He evidently knew
nothing of the elevator being over
him. When the carriage started down
a scream was heard, "Stop! Stop!”
The next Instant the elevator struck
the board that Dean had been stand
ing on finishing his work in the
hatch. Dean was thrown Into the cel
lar of the building, a distance of some
sixty feet. Ill* lifeless body struck
Harry Goshen, who was working in
the cellar, nnd It Is feared that Goshen
also may be fatally Injured. Reef, the
elevator man, was injured by Jumping
out of the carriage. Mr. Ballman,
manager of the Crane Elevator Com
pany, said tho accident was due en
tirely to Dean's careletwiz-ss. Dean's

ENGLISH COMMENT.
London, April 17.—In an article com
menting on the situation of the dispute
between England and Nicaragua the
St. James Gazette accuse* the Ameri
can newspaper* of wonderful igno
rance of diplomacy. The Monroe doo-
trlne, tt says, has foe-n a doctrine for
slxty-two years, yet (t has never been
acted upon. Whenever Englnnd has
any serious differences to settle with
the republics of South America noth
ing but settled International law will
prevent her from settling them. ’The
suggestion that England wants to
bombard Greytown Is absurd. If Nica
ragua has foolishly refused to pay
the Indemnity demanded by England,
with the knowledge of the United
States, Great Britain will take such
steps as the American government
was perfectly aware of at the rime the
demand was made.
ALMOST THE LAST.
Washington, April 17.—The pension
office Is Informed of the death, at the
age of 91, of one of the last remain

the revolutionary war, he being then
55 years old and she but 20. She was
In Knoxville on March 12 to draw her
pension of )l> a month, and though
feeble seemed good to lost for many
years.

AN OUTLAW TRACK.
St, Louis, April 17.—The Madison
race track will throw open its gates
in a few days and will' inaugurate a
vigorous racing war on all opposition
tracks. As th» track has been outlawed
by the turf congress the officials tclalm
that they, having nothing to lose and
everything to gain by running a meet

hut was removed from the presidency
and directory of the Distilling and Cat
tle Feeding cotnpiny at the annual
meeting of the stockholders aifter re
fusing to resign. S. M. Itlce of New
York, is slated a* his successor.
Contrary to predictions, Mr, Grcnhut
wus at the meeting. He was the only
one, however, of the old directors to
face the new men i« control. The
others had deserted their former chief
who sat aloof from the other suck-
holders, avlth hla son as a comp talon.
Richard ;B. Hart*horno was elected
chairman and would have been made a
director hud he been willing to accept
the position. Nearly .150,009 shares were
represented, of which the minority—
Grecnhut—continued only 11,019.
Rcvigmitioua were read from the re
maining directors excepting Mr. Green-
hut, and were promptly accepted. Upon
motion of Levy Mayer, Green-hut was
asked to resign. This he declined to do
and upon a motion to remove him. had
his attorney state to the stockholders
that It was not <n their power to do so.
Notwithstanding tills a vote was laken
I He was rnmoived under protest. He
will carry the matter into the counts.
The following d'reotoi’s were then elect
ed:
S. M. Rice, New York; .7, M. Hutton,
Cincinnati; T. Di WenbworJa, New
York; W. J. Moya-, Chicago; W, M,
Schetftel, New York; J. M. Mott, Chi
ago; Floyd E. JennDoa, New York.
It was entered on record that Mr.
Siheflol wia» elected to succeed Mr.
Greer'.vut so as to simplify the litigation
to loitow. Mr. Gireenu did not want
tn read his report to his enemies but
upon their insisting he read his :iuai
rtipofi,
Every motion was offered by Levy
Moyer and voted for by everybody
exof|pt Greonhur. At the time Mr.
Mayer mas offering the resolution for
the removal of Greenhut, the lalLi
got tleu.an told Mr. .Mayor that ho was
liar laud had run to the ewd of his
rope but little attention was paid to
this. Mr. Greenhut was removed tn
tile charge that he was false to Ills
trust and an enomy of the company of
wh.V.;Il he wus president. Mr. Mayer
had hardly concluded 'ids remarks when
cot>ruble pnlterad and served him
with a summon.* In a 6Ult for 350.000 for
Blunder brought iby Mr. Greenhut. No
tions were also served on the five mem
bers of the rc-orgunlxotion committee,
Receiver McNulta and Attorney Bijour,
In suits for a Similar amount, all re
turnable to Peoria on the flr*t Monday
lit May, i
When tlhe gentlemen summoned were
spoken to in regard to the suits they
laughed and Joked about them saying
the.': the notion was too ridiculous and
childish to deserve further.euamtvUi.
The last act. of the stockholders wag to
rescind the action, of the list on noil
meeting In ordering the non-negotiating
of the remainder of the 18,000,000 worth of
bonds before provided ifor, and the new
directors are now authorized to float
them. The bonds to be now put or: the
market amount to ower $4,000,000, The
meeting then adjourned to May,'8,- 1SD5.
Mr. Greenhut still talks with assurance.
After the meeting he sold:
•They scorned to have their own way
this afternoon, but mark my word, the
table* will be changed. I have no doubt
of being exonerat' d and 1 know 1 cannot
bo legally removed.
"The meeting today was only a confab
of Wall street Jobbers, and a* my re
moval Is ISegal no acts of the new board
will amount to anything with Scheftel
casting an Illegal vote."
The now directors will meet In Chicago
at an early dale to elect officers.
In h4e report, Mr. Greenhut said he had
served the trust for eight years to the
best of his ability; that the accusations
made agwlnot him were malicious, false
and untrue: that the errors which may
have been made were made against hie
Judgment and under his protest. He had
not controlled the company, as claimed,
but the director* had dona all that had
been done; he, a* president, had no apolo
gies to make and would soon brand the
mnltcioua lies and slander promulgated
against Trim.
Mr. Greenhut sold the receiver bad
found the bonks of the company In a
sfmkchtt and honest condition; that this
did not wu*t the reorganization committee
and that experts were employed with In
struction* to find Irrcwukirittes and to
furnish sensations for the newspapers.
Mr. Greenhut said he eouid refute everv
Irregularity alleged by the experte. H<
■poke In Mtter terms of the breaking
open of Ms safe and said he would pros
ecute the offender* to the fullest extent
of the tew. He then presented figures to
show the poor financial condition of the
company, saytng that the statement that
McNulm Is running things smoothly Is
untrue and absurd; that a green-horn
could not posMMy do what experienced
men found Impossible.
