As the Norfolk Ledger says, the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court on the subject of the Income Tax ap pears to have been satisfactory only to those whose incomes were relieved of the burdens im posed by the law, and if we are not verv much mistaken the country is going to hear a good deal relative to the subject in the future. It will be difficult for the plain, common people of the country to understand why a law which was formerly valid and which did duty for years in collecting revenue that the gov ernment needed, should now be invalid. Questions are also raised by the decision which the opponents of the law will have difficulty in reconciling with common-sense views. iere is what Mr. Henry Clews, the New York banker, says with reference to the decision: I think it unfortunate that the portion of the income tax law which was sustained should have been by a tie vote, as it will cause increased dissatisfaction on the part of the taxpayers. It leaves a grave doubt in the minds of most people as ,to the constitutionality of the law. if half of the Supreme Bench Judges share in that doubt, why should it not be general with the taxpayers? I, therefore, doubt whether anyone will be willing to pay a large amount of money as an income tax under the cir cumstances, excepting it is done under protest to admit of it be ing again recovered as a result of a future reversed decision. This attitude would not have been taken by anybody if the decision had been given by a good sized majority vote. In that case people would have paid the tax ungrudgingly, but now in paying it they certainly will feel otherwise. It is also unfortunate that a number of men with the largest incomes in the country through inheritance of real estate, men who have never done a day's work are exempt from paying any tax on their great incomes, while men who make their incomes by their own daily labor efforts, with great attending risk and anxiety, are compelled to pay a tax on the incomes there derived. It makes a most unfortunate un American distinction and that will make the income tax a most distasteful one to all American people, with the exception of the large land owners. The income tax law, as it now stands, is in about this shape: If I had a farm and rented it, giving me an in come of $10,000, I should not have to pay any tax on that in come; but my tenant would have to pay a tax on his income de rived therefrom. On the basis of justice, the reverse should be the case. It sometimes happens that the people take issue with court de cisions, and when such is the case the struggle between the people and courts may be pro longed for years, but the people will eventually adopt methods to have their wishes carried out. In proof of this it is only neces sary to recall utterances in our own State. In the early seven ties to the Legislature enacted a law relative to the public debt of Virginia which was not accepted by the people. The question was made an issue in the next elec tion and a Legislature was chosen which repealed the law Litigation followed, and the Su preme court of the otate ren dered a decision which, so far from settling the question, caused an agitation that finally resulted in overthrowing the dominant party and causing the election of a new Supreme Court. It is true that the Judges of tb United States hold their offices for life or during good be instead of for a stated number of years, as in our State, but when the people are deter mined that the laws shall accord with their views upon any question of public policy, they will in a long run find the means to accomplish their purpose. The recent history of the coun try proves this. Little Cuba has the sympa thy of all patriotic people. For long years Spain has held her under her heel of iron, but bye and bye the spirit of liberty wil triumph. T'tte silver question seems to be perplexing one the more it i studied bv some people the less they seem to comprehend it. prived of his office, stripped of his yellow jacket and peacock feathers, humiliated and sent to the rear. The Emperor of China, who imagined he knew more than the old statesman whom he had just dishonored, took active charge himself, but results that followed show what an ignomin ious failure he has made. After the Celestial forces had suffered defeat after defeat and the Mikado's men were almost within sight of the gates of Pekin and the destruction of the Chinese empire was threatened, Li Hung Chang was called upon in this hour of peril to save his country. Like the patriot he is, he did not sulk in his tent, but responded and went to Japan on a peace envoy. It was undoubt edly from his diplomacy and statesmanship that has resulted the practical conclusion of peace in the. Orient. He has succeed ed, according to the latest ad vices, in inducing Japan to recede somewhat from her original de mands and the signing up of the treaty of peace is now daily ex pected. China can congratulate herself that she has a Li Hung Chang. WELL, LET'S HAVE HIM. The writer of this would vote the Democratic ticket if a billy- goat should be nominated for President, provided he had a white goatee, and it matters not where he shall come from. We don't care if he hails from the rock-ribbed hills of Vermont, or the rolling prairies of Illinois; the pine forests of Maine, or the orange-scented shores of Cali fornia; the wind-slept lakes or the gopher hills of South Ala bama; the snow-capped peaks of the extreme northwest, or the balmy glades of Florida, just so he's a Democrat. I5ut wnat we object to is one section of the country being ig- red altogether when it comes to selecting a President. Is the North less patriotic than the South? We think not, but we would like to test its patriotism by seeing them march up to the polls and cast their votes lor a Southerner. That is one way of testing their sincerity and patriotism, and it would do more to break down sectional feeling than any thing that could occur. Liet s have a Southern man nominated either first or second on the ticket. The action of the Supreme court in declaring the income from real estate untaxable under the constitution was peculiarly unfortunate and will be regretted by the Democratic masses of the country. Whatever satisfaction can be had from a comparison with the single tax theory and many other unconstitutional measures, the common masses of the common people believe the income tax law a wise and just measure and will not change their opinion because the Su preme Court saw fit to reason otherwise. Free coinage a of silver at ratio or lb to l simply means that the owners of silver mines will be paid one dollar for every 57 cents' worth of silver they carry to the mint. If we just. had to vote for a bill to give an artificial value to things, we would prefer to advocate the enactment of a law providing that our farmers shall receive one dollar ior every o cents worth of cotton, corn or hogs they produce and bring into mar ket. That would suit- our part of the country better. The Democrats of North Car olina should not let the question of silver divide the party. We have had one division within the last few years, and another at this time would be hard to over come. All Democrats should make up their minds to abide by the action of the majority in con vention assembled, realizing that we have more than the money question to consider. The silver question would not worry people so much if they would reahze the fact whether a double or single standard existed they must produce something to bring money and at the same time live within their income.

MOORE'S conventions are called and held and free coinage lecturers and canvassers are in evidence every where. It does not follow that this ruption of free coinage litera ture and talk means that people at large are clamoring for free coinage and will be satisfied with nothing less, but it does mean that this demand will arise later on if the free silver propagand ists can sufficiently mislead the public to inspire it. It means further that this campaign has been shrewdly planned and is being vigorously carried on for the purpose of misleading and botogging public sentiment on the silver question, and that it is j that some agitation and education were furnished on the other side if the free coinage craze is not to sweep the country. t nere are two ciasses or men who have engaged 5.n this can vass for a cheap silver currency. the silver producers and the po-1 litical demagogues of ail parties.

The silver men want free coinage to provide them a means of getting one hundred cents for fifty cents worth of silver, and the dema gogues waut to be carried into office on the free silver wave, and neither cares a nickel for the in terests of the dear people they are trying so hard to mislead. The very fact that the free sil ver combination is composed of silver producers and demagogues hould make every other class suspicious that it is not so aisin- terested as it pretends to be; but if the selfishess and demagoguery are not exposed by some one, how are the people to know the real inspiration of the attempt to make fifty cent silver dollars redeemable in gold dollars? It is evident that the financial question is to overshadow all others during the next Presiden tial campaign and the friends of honest money cannot too soon be gin to counteract the fallacies so industriously propagated by those who have silver to sell or who want to live at the public expense in public office.
