IScoSiE TAx.-The amended tax bill
now before Congress contains one fea-
ture which we trust will become per-
manent. We refer TO the change by
which a uniform income tax of five per
cent is levied, with an exemption of one
thousand dollars, instead, as it now is,
an exemption of 5000, with I'VE per cent
tax on all sums below 5000 and
ten per cent on all aboue $4,000. This
VIII not only relieve assessors from
many perplexing questions, but it will
carry substantial relief to thousands
who have been oppressed by ther recent
rotes. The original theory was that six
hundred dollars was the fair average
allowance for necessary expenses, and
that all above that sum was Dresuna-
BILE Income" Bat the rise OF prices
has made that an obsolete notion
absurd enough, but too sad for a Joke
The relief, therefore, proposed by the
amended bill, though many will wish
il might have been greater, will diffuse
a general feeling of satisfaction through
the community, while we have no
doubt that II Will secure full proper
tionate share of revenue from this par
ticular source. We cannot but think
that slmilaS reduction applied to other
provisions of the bill would be equally
advantageous TO the people and the
goVernment.-BOston Journal.

The general depression is shown
from the comparatively small amount
of business now doing by railroads and
by express companies. Nearly all the
roads in the country have hauled of
one or two passenger trains within
twenty days, and the remaining ones
are not at all crowded. People are
sensibly staying at home and saving
their money until something turns up.

Now a word with reference to the
power of The Board to borrow money,
The Wheeling Bill only allows the
Board to borrow TO meet present LidbiLi-
tteS, which may fall due before proyi-
sion can be made for their final IiQuida-
ton. No lIel1 debts can be contracted,
Alter limited period all power to bor-
row must cease. But how is il with the
State law which theRemonStrdnce claims
should be made to apply:to Wheeling.
Boards of Education may borrow upon
the credit of the building fund, what
said fund would amount in i've wears
at seventy cents per annum upon every
SlOO OF taxable property. Let US see
what this would amount TO in Lhis
school district of Wheeling. The tax
able value of the property of the dis
trict IS said to be not less than seven
mllilons OF dollars. Seventy cents on
the hundred dollars would give forty-
nine thousand dollars per annum, or
for hve years tIr0 hundred aud foTtv-
fVe thousand dollars and at the expi-
ration of five years a like sum may
again be borrowed. -
Now ask the citizens of Wheeling,
and particularly those who, by misrep-
resentation, have been led to sign the
fenaoIstTdRce against the passage of the
Wheeling School Bill, carefully to pom

half that named, and virtually takes

The entire RemonSLTdnce is a most
transparent blind. While it is ostensi-
bly, aimed at the proposed bill, it is, as
before charged, in reality aimed at all
existing systems of public instruction.
