TIE CITY oE NET. EoRK.

The returns of taxable incomes, which we
publish in another column, illustrate the ten
deney Of commerce and wealth to seek the
great centers of population, and show how
rapidly the City of NewYork is absorbing the
real busy life of the country. Il is not so
many years since it was an even chance whether
New-York or Newport became the great mer-
camille harbor of America; and even the
youngest of us can remember the time when
Philadelphia was our rival, and it seemed by
no means certain that she would not outstrip us.
Now the City of New-York returns as heavy
an income tax as the States Of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts COM
bined more than six times as much as Rhode
Island, nearly three times as much as Phlla-
delphia or Boston, and Is per cent more than
the whole great State of Pennsylvania Yet 1t
is notorious that income returns in this city
are less complete than in any other part of the
United States, the figures on the Assessors
books representing hardly twO-thirds Of the
actual revenues of the citizens. '-'--''
Now let us look at the tables in another way
The aggregate returns for the whole United
States exhibit falling off of S3,38O,431 since
the previous year; but the returns for the City
of New-York in the same time show an in
crease of $t3G33,373. The State of New York,
outside this city, returns about two millions less
than it did year ago. The great agricultural
regions of the West exhibit decrease of twenty
four millions. Philadelphia loses S100OO,OOO;
Pittsburgh and Buffalo moro than $2,OOO,O0O
each; Brooklyn and st. Louis over 81 100000 each;
the Middle States $27,OO0,OOO But in the midst
of financial disorder, the paralysis Of industry,
and the stagnatiOn of trade, New-Yorl1 contin-
ues to grow with steadiness and rapidity
which must very soon place it in the front rank
of the cities of the world The new avenues Of
commerce which are now opening will acceler-
ate its progress in a wonderful degree, and when
it becomes, as 1t soon must, the great mterna-
tional mart for traffic between the East and the
West, it will rival in wealth and magnilicence
the proudest cities Of the ancient or the modern
world.

That nearly all the Associated Press reporters

Barnum's Museum was burned merely because the
hydrants in tho vicinity were frozen. Ten minutes
after the discovery of the fro two streams would
have quenohed it, The fire machinery was promptly
on the ground and the 6remen were ready, but they
could get no water. The hydrants tapped in
vain The pipeman of No. 33 tried two, but found
them frozen, and the Company were compelled to
stretch their hose to the hydrant in front OF their
own building. Then. and not until then, stream
was thrown into the burning Museum. This is the
third or fourth instance of the freezing Of hydrans
this Winter. We are assured that two pals Of water
would have quenched the fire in Chambers-st on
Saturday evening last, but the fremen were forced
to thaw out the hydrans before they could get water
In view of these facts experts in fire matters recon-
mend that the hydrant-pipes shall be kept empty
until needed for use and that their feeders shall be
so arranged that at short notice copous supply of
water may be taken from the CrotOn mains. and
turned directly upon fire. Let the experiment be
made. And while striving to perfect our appliances
for extinguishing 6res, might pro6taby pay some
attention to means of prevention Our theaters are
notoriously mere tinder-boxes as is abundantly es
tablished by the quiekness with which tho flames
have done their work at each of the five theater-
fires within the last three years. ProYiden-
TALLY, the buildings were burned after their
audiences had dispersed. Had either taken fire
during the progress of play. we should have
been called upon TO record an event more
startling than the nero loss of halfnillion Of
property. Our public buildings should be iire-proof
But at least they might be improved in their accom-
modations for exit in time of peril; and since we
cannot expect the rebuilding in stone or iron of the
man-traps,' as builder styles our theaters aud
churches it seems to US that we may reasonably ask
tho Legislature to compel their owners OF lessees to
provide ample means of escape in the event Of fire.
We have thanks 10 an intelligent Republican Legs-
lature, wonderfully y.improved Fire Departmental
Department which has proved its worth over and
again. 1t was ready TO do again or Monday night.
Indeed, It did; for all the Commissioners and the
Chief Engineer were ut the fire. and but for their
presence and good management, and the noteworthy
discipline and efficiency of their subordinates, the
Prescott House, and possibly other valuable prop
erty. must have fallen. As it was wanting water
from the misgoverned city's frozen hydrants. the
Fire Commissioners saved the Prescott House by sta
tiouing fireman in every window, each armed with
a water-bucket We hope that M. Barnum. who
has our sympathies in this second disaster will rem
der his new museum even more inviting than either

The Internal Revenue.

We understand, and we have our Information
on very good authority, that the Committee Of
Ways and Means will report their new internal
revenue bill on or before the first day Of March.
The bill will be very essential modification Of
the present law. The portion Of the bill relat-
ing to manufactures is understood to be about
completed. The articles taxed will be few in
number, as most OF those articles now enumer.
ated In section ninety -four of the present law
are dropped. Tho tax will be retained on to-
bacco, jewelry, oils, and certain articles Of luz
ury, but on such articles as boots, shoes, hats,
soap, leather, clocks, furniture, pins, tinware,
clothing, and others of home manufacture, there
will be no tax. This Is not only needed reform
which will benefit the consumer, but 1t will aid
and quicken all our home industrial pursuits.
As all articles taxed will DO specified, we shall
get rid Of the free lists so-called.
Another important reform introduced by this
bill Is, II will enable the Government to collect
the tax at much less expense, and we shall get
rid Of that army Of informers, detectives, black
mailers, and spies.
