CMPLING : , CLO LAWS AND DECISIONS Postlnc Up in Anticipation of Many Vtxm ntluni notions Likely to Arlun When the Li w llccomes Effective. . WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. The work prelim- inary to carrying into effect the new Income tax law Is going- forward as rapidly as its nature will permit , under the direction of William II. Pugh , who In October last was appointed superintendent of the Income tax. A number of complicating1 and Interesting questions have arisen under former laws , and anticipating that questions will arise in the future of equal Importance , It Is essential lor their solution to understand what has been the- former legislation of congress , the decisions of the courts and the rulings of the department upon the subjects of the Income tax. With this view , Mr. Pugh has been oc cupied since his appointment In examining and preparing n digest of the court decisions and the department rulings arranged under their respective headings , lle has also pre pared a comparison of all the former laws upon the Income tax , arranged so that all the provisions heretofore made upon tlie same subject shall appear properly grouped and any ono at a glance can see the various changes and modifications that have taken place. There have been several acts upon the subject of Income tax. The first \vas passed August 5 , 1861. Under this act , how ever , nothing was done. The act failed to provide many provisions contained in Ihe sub sequent legislation , both as the subjects of taxation and the methods of collection These were provided for subsequently. The second act was passed July 1 , 1S62 ; the third act June 30 , 1SGI ; the fourth act March 3 , 1865 ; the fifth act March 2 , 180J. Under the flrst. act JSOO was the amount reserved from taxation tloi and the rale of tax was 5 per cent on all sums over that amount. Under the act of July 1 , 1862 , the amounts reserved from taxation were as follows : If the Income ex ceeded JGOO and did not exceed J10.000 , a duty of 3 per cent on the" " amount above $600 ; if said Income exceeded the sum of $10,000 , a duty ot 5 per cent upon the amount exceeding $ COO. Under the third act $600 was exompled and the duty was G per cent on the excess Under the fourth and fifth acts $1,000 was free from taxation and the amount of tax was 6 per cent on the amount In excess of thai sum. GUTTING IIAt 1C AT UnitUANV. Ur. Salmon Suggests Setting Gcrtimn ll < i ! < * AgnluHt Ainrrlcuii tuttlr. WASHINGTON , Nov. 5. The embargo which Germany has Just placed against all cattle may have a sequel which the German authorities have not anticipated , viz : an Investigation as to the glanders and the- dis eases known as horse syphilis , with which German horses brought to this country are affected. Secretary Morton called attention In his last report to the lack of inspection of horses coming from abroad and suggested that It would be- well to provide for quaran tining horses. At that time there was- such comity between this country and those of Europe In the shipment of live stock that the horse Inspection was not urged. Now , however , with Germany closing her ports against American cattle , tlio secretary's sug gestion of protection against disease in the horses becomes pertinent. "ThereIs much more reason , " said Dr Salmon of the bureau of animal industry , "why this country should exclude diseased horses than that Germany should exclude American cattle. The action ot Germany la ostensibly on the ground of diseased Texas cuttle , but these are only an Insignificant percentage of the cattle sent to Germany , and there Is no reason for excluding all because a small class are alleged to be affected. Wo recently received a shipment of sheep from England affected -nllh the hoof rot , which Is much worse than Texas fever. Wo sent them back , but It did not ' suggest that we should exclude all sheep because these were affected , U Is the same with horses affected with the glanders und horse syphilis. There ought to be pro tection . against such diseases and the secre tary has urged It. This country takes a great many horses from Germany , mainly ol the heavy coaching variety. They arc sound , as a. rule , yet the glanders and syphilis horses get In occasionally. If , therefore , an entire" class of stock Is to be Judged by a few diseased ones , Itwould eeem to be time to establish a horse quaran tine. " _ _ j _ ANOTHUK inrOIlTKO I'KST. Mil Crtia * n I ! id In the Mouth Us Russian Tlilstlo In the Northwest. . WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. The nut grass or cocoa Is proving to be almost as much of an Infliction In the south as the Russian thistle Is to the northwest. Tor that reason the Agricultural department will soon Issue a special bulletin urging a general campaign ; against this grass before It gets too firm a hold. This plant Is not a grass , as Its tsa. common name and Its appearance Indicates , but a sedge. It has many local names In the different regions In which It has been 18n troduce-1. The species is of subtropical origin and is said to have reached the United States first at New Orleans among garden plants brought from Cuba , It now extends from Texas to southern Illinois and in ths coast region , to Florida and New Jersey , being most abundant In sandy soils. The plan of campaign to extirpate nut grass Is simply to prevent It maturing seed above ground. Nearly every body thinks the nuisance comes fcom the nut alone , vhereas It propagates a thousand times more from the seed. Hence , to effectually and quickly dejtr&v nut grass on any land Intestcd with It Ihe soil should be frequently stirred dur ing the growing period of summer , so as irto citimuiate each nut tuber and seed to sprout. The best time for fighting-It Is between mld- Buramcr and frost time. The secret of suc cess Is merely in the cutting of every tall stem while In the flowering stags at the lat > . . ' est and the sooner the better. IX > i : KNOWS XOTJIINU OV IT. It Ho In lo Sucrctd ( irn r.tl Siva hi It In Now * to Him. WASHINGTON , Nov. 4.

J ; Republicans Will Assuredly Have a Majority in tha Next Oongrojs , DEFEAT qr DEM CRATIC LEADERS LIKELY Vrobnbly Hold the llnliinco of 1'owrr In the tniiito After thu llli of March Morton A \Mnnor. . NEW YORK , Nov. 4. Joseph H. Manley , chairman of the republican executive com mittee , gava out on Interview at the Fifth Avenue hotel today. In It he "says that wherever an election has occurred during the last five months , whether In Oregon , Ver mont or Alabama , In Maine , Georgia or In Connecticut , the result has been Ihe same. That ts the drift and trend all from the democratic nnd to the republican party and the cause , he says. Is to be found In the dis satisfaction ! of the people Vvlth the present democratic administration. After setting forth several nets of the democratic party , which , in his opinion , have tended to produce this : dissatisfaction , Mr. Manley continues : "It Is not prophesy to assert that the repub licans will carry the majority of the congres sional delegate * In thirty-six statev out of the forty-four , and thus have a clear majority of the next house , which will end all effort In the presidential election of 1SSG of an at tempt to throw the election of president and vtco | president Into the house. It Is reasona bly assured that the republicans will organ ze the next house of representative ? , having a majority varying from ten to twenty-five. All Indications point to the detent of Mr. Springer of Illinois , Holinan of Indiana ami Wilson of West Virginia. The democrats- will lose , after the 1th ot March next , their as ' cendancy In the senate. Unfortunately , for 'two years the populists will hold the balance of power In the senate. Their number will be Increased there by six. Governor Tlllman of South Carolina ( his election to the senate Is assured ) TV,11 , give them six members , and there Is every probability that the republicans will have forty-two senators , and the demo crats forty after the 4th of next March. Great as is the Interett In the election in every section of the country , New York Is still the pivotal state , and all eyes are turned on It , and after all the most Important In Its re sults of any election that will occur on Tues day."What "What ia to be the result ? Is the Inquiry from every quarter. From a careful sur vey ; of the situation , taking into consideration all the different elements and forces at work , It y does' not seem In the possibilities to de feat Mr. Morton. It must be remembered that ; in the past twenty yenra the < .democratic party has never carried an election In Now York by a majority greater than 60,000 , nor has any party tor that matter , with the single git exception of Cleveland lor governor , over Folgcr , and the defeat of .Maynard laat year , both phenomenal elections In the ono case resulting from a refusal of 200,000 , rppubl'cans to endorse the party's action , and In the other from nearly 60,000 democrats condemning the conduct of their own party. The dlsaffec- tion of the Wheeler democrats alone will be sufficient to cause Mr. Hill's defeat. " - Mr. Manley claims that -the la to business dcpresston'-XvllI have ; it * effect'and turn-votes Into the republican column , He also asserts that the fight against Tammany in this city and state will have Its effect , "The resolu tion against Tammany , " said he , "will not atop with simply voting the municipal reform ticket. The people who are determined to overthrow Tammany know very well that their ( efforts will have been in vain if they simply overthrow the Tammany organization Inga the city and permit the Tammany or ganization to succeed In the state. They must make their work thorough and success ful ; they must defeat Grant in the city and they must and will defeat Hill In the state. " OESKItTINQ TUB HKAUQOAKTUIt . Moit of tlio New Vcirk I'olltlcnl I.oiuler * Iliivu Cionu Homo , NEW YOHK , Nov. 4. The last Sunday of the political campaign was an exceedingly dull day at the headquarters of the various organizations. John Boyd Thacher was In ch of the democratic state headquarters at the Part ? Avenue hotel , but he Is expected to start for his home In Albany tonight. Of the other managers who have been prominent there , Major HInkley will vote at Poughkecp- si.Gi . , Mr. Huston In Pen Ynn and Lieutenant Governor Shechan in Buffalo , GiUi Chairman Hackctt will probably remain at the republican headquarters at the Fifth Avenue hotel until after election day , having paired his vote with pome one al his home inM mica. Most of his lieutenants , Including indl . Kenyon , have already gone to their home districts. The headquarters of the seventy's candidate for mayor. Colonel Strong , were closed today. At the headquarters of Hugh J. Grant in the Union Square hotel , there uerea number olre Usltors today and the iau.il reports of resignations from the state democracy were given out. It was announced that J , Hock- well Fay and a number of others had left the state democratic organization In the Twenty- third assembly district and isould support Grant. Importance- seems to be attached to the assertion that Colonel Strong had written tihi letter to a. police captain , asking him to have his men examine the registers of the lodging houies In his precinct so that In tending voters claiming residence there , whoso names are not on the register on elec tion day , may be arrested. At the demo cratic headquarters on East Twenty-third street denial was made of the statement which has been generally made that the Tammany candidates for aldermen and as semblymen In the Ninth assembly district have been endorsed by the state democracy. The candidates of that body , It Is declared , are James A. Hooper and George W. Miller. A summing up of the constitutional con vention controversy , condemning the work of the convention and the course of Its presi dent , Joseph H. Choate , was Imied this eienlng at democratic state headquarters. Several open letters were also given out. Considerable Interest lias been excited in the Joint debate to be held tomorrow evening In Scottish Rile hall between George Walton. Green , the state democracy candidate for congress in the Twelfth district , and his "re publican opponent , Robert A. CheefcbrouRh. Mr , Green Is the challenger. All the party leaders are claiming the suc cess of their respective tickets by largo ma jorities , The republicans are especially de sirous ot fair weather on Tuesday. The committee of seventy tonight Issued an endorsement of the Strong ticket signed by a large number ot prominent men , They also gave out letters to uliow the support of the seventy's ticket by German-Americana and by the Retail Grocers union. Another document made public was an arraignment of Tammany's ' management of the department if charities and corrections , the methods In the Insane asylum under Its care being spe cially referred to. A number of clergymen fn the- city today preached sermons denouncing "municipal cor ruption and urging their hearers to oppose Tammany hall at this election , not on party but on pure and moral grounds. Among them were ttev. Dr. Parkhunt , at the Madi son Square Presbyterian church , and Hev. Thomas Ducey at St. Leo's Roman Catholic church. Hev , Father Sylvester Malone of St. Peter's and St. Paul's Hoinan Catholic church , Brooklyn. Issued a statement today | n the come vein , claiming among other things , that Tammany already stood convicted victed before the people. At the republican state headquarters tonight night a dli.patch Irom Albany was received nnounclng that under tha election law no voter may cccupy Iho voting booth more than Ion minutes. In tcad of forty , as claimed by some , also that any person wilfully ebstruct- Jlng or delaying other voters by occupying a booth n longer tlmo thin the- law permits Is gul'ly ct a criminal offense. n i ) MI : TO VOTI : .

The World says : "In most cases Ihe representatives of both committees agree as to their county Kolng ono way or the other , although , of course , their figures varied.

Party lines have been fought largely on the tariff question , as there Is not much difference between the par- ties on sliver. The church Influence appears to be a significant factor In the contest and It Is conceded that . . the successful ticket will have to carry the majority of the Mormon church vote. The fight has been strongest on the constitutional delegates , as this lias sta special bearing on the two United States senators from the new state. It Is conceded by the best politicians on both sides that the result In Utah will eventually control the destinies of from six to ten United States senators. This is claimed on the theory that the Mormons hold Ihe balance of potter In Idaho , Wyoming , Nevada and Arizona , and that the Mormon vote of these states will become permanently allied with the di .nl- riant party In Bait Lake , the commercial and ' church , center of the Intermountaln regions.

The campaign which closes tonight has been unparalleled In the history of Nebraska. Six months ago the multiplying Indications of a popular revolt against railroad rule , boodlerlsm In the state house , and dishonesty In the management o'f slate Institutions , warned the railroads and tha rings that noth ing short of n herculean effort would prevent their total rout at the polls this fall. With this fact impressed upon their minds the po litical strikers , controlled by the rings and the railroads , sot out to beat down the pcoplo by main force. The nomination of Majors " "was the result of a deeply laid conspiracy , nnd was only accomplished after the ex pressed wishes ot the people wcro trampled under foot. The state convention , Instead of being representative of the people , was representative of the corporations nlone. The men who have for years belonged hotly and soul to the railroads , the friends of the Im peached ofllclals , tha agents ol Iho state houEO rings and the hangers-on at the state Institutions united to the support of Tom. Majors. Ho stood as the candidate of every dishonest and disreputable element In the state , and ho was opposed by every honest element. Ho was nominated by main forco. Delegates wcro appointed In the secret cau cuses days after their selection had been authorized , and they wcro brought to Omaha on free passes. Once here their hotel bills wcro paid. The men who would not agree to support the- man tatoocd with every polit ical vlco received no favors at the hands of ; the conspirators. If they came at all they paid their own fare and their hotel bills. Scores of men selected as delegates were unable to bear the expense rff a long Journey to Omaha and they surrendered their prox ies to others in their delegations who prom ised to respect their wishes , but who sold them out lo the railroad crowd as soon as they arrived at the convention hall , FIIOM COIlllUl'TigN TO COERCION. It was under thcso circumstances that Tom Majors became the republican candidate for governor. He made his campaign upon the plea that he was the republican nomliioe. Ha newer made a falser assertion. He tfas tha candidate of the franchlseil corporations , and ht represented no one else in the state. A soon as ho had been nominated his defeat . . . . was apparent , even two months before elcc- tlon day. At first his managers believed ho could bo eleqtcd by a campaign directed solely to whipping tlio outraged republicans of the state back Into line. The futility of such a campaign was at once apparent. Then the non-partisan program was adopted. The banks , corporations and stock yards ( companies ot Omaha nnd South Omaha united In a business men's association and the ! wall of calamity was raised. The people ple of thft state saw throuch the scheme at once and again the managers of the Majors campaign were frightened. Then an im mense corruption fund was raised , contrib uted entirely by the corporations whoso interests u4te terests are to bo protected by the election teol ol Majors. This money has been scattered with a lavish hand. Newspapers have been iubsldlzed or purchased outright. Men have been * sent Into every corner of the state to spot the republicans -who prop'oso to vote against the corporation candidate.- Emissaries 81El saries of the railroads have searched far and ElV wide for some damaging- evidence against the record of Judge Holcomb. Everything that could bo purchased with money haa been bought up end the estimates will show time Majors has been repudiated by a majority - jority of tlio voters of the state , The administration democrats have been foiced ( Into line lor the railroad candidate. Under the leadership of Tobias Castor , Euclid Martin , Dan Cook and ono or two others a few democratic voters have been seduced Into a pledge to vote for Torn Majors. For the first tlmo In the history of Nebraska politics men or one political faith have been threatened with loss of official position unless they register their votes for po'ltlcal enemies. The alleged "straight democrat" ticket Is ono of the most bare-faced frauds ever perpe- ( rated In the political history of Nebraska. H was cooked up by fifty-three democrats , a number of whom bolted the regular demo- cinllc convention , and the balance composed ot democrats who had never been elected to any convention. 1JULLDOXINO EMPLOYES. As the culminating outrage of the dis graceful campaign the managers of the conspiracy to foist Tom Majors upon the state have resorted to Intimidation And coercion In order to swell the vote fur the minority candidate. Employes In railroad olllces and shops have been plainly Informel that they must vote for Majors , The track- men , station agents and section hands liavo also been warned that a vote for any other candidate but Majors would lose them , their positions. Employes In the packing houses at South Omaha have been herded like to many cattle and forced ( o either pledge themselves for the conspiracy candidate or seek work elsewhere. The manhood ol the Individual voter has been assailed , and ho has been compelled lo work and talk and vote for the man nominated by the corpora tions under penallty of dismissal. Nothing more disgraceful has ever been attempted in the history of Nebraska. The men who have thus endeavored to thwart the -will ot the people have covered thcmeiclvcs with contumely , and all to no purpose , for , after all has been done , the certainty of defeat stares the conspirators In the face. The campaign has been a failure from the start. The tactics adopted by the con- splrators were brutal , but they have failed because of their very brutality. Dishonesty baa not been an effective weapon , and no ono realized this bitter fact any more forcl- bly than the men who Saturday night ai- nembled at Ihe republican state headquarter ! and In the secrecy of their own rooms ad- mltted that they h d played their last trump and lost the game , One ot the expiring effoit * of tb con-
