lowing frst-rate notice of genius who,
he says, ''mulcted our Lodge out of about
ten or fifteen dollars short time ago.

''In reply, l would have nothing to do

on the fraternity. Wehaye heard from him
several times during the last two years. His
field of operations is large, extending from
West Virginia to Texas. Please do us the
favor to advertise him so far as you can in
this Jurisdiction. He is one of those fellows
who are the bane of the Craft and disgrace
to humanity. He always halls from our

Party.

The Senate on Friday evening determined
70 perpctuatc the income tax. With q com
ical naYvete, Senator WILSON of Massa-
chusctts proposed that tho tax should last
only until 1872, and his proposition was
adoptcd. We can tell tho Senator and his
associates that II this tax remains in tho bill
when It is finally passed and signed by the
President, the election of 1872 will most de-
cidcdiy put it out of their power TO continue
II any longer.
For many years past the Democratic party
has been inspired Ivy species of insanity.
Under this influence 1t has regularly com
mitted the grossest llunders and has thrown
every important election into the hands Of
its opponents. II looks now MS though this
kind Of political madness was passing away
from the Democracy aud taking possession
of the Republicans A more signal instance
of it than this fanntical and obstinate adhcr-
ence to the income tax could not be possible
The essential nature of this tax was well dc
scribed by Mr.. CoNKLINo in the recent clabo-
rate debate upon the subject in the Senate.
1T tramples under foot" said Senator CoYK.
LING, 1.-THE principle of impartiality ham.
mercd out on the anvil of British income tax
provisions--tho principle respected in Eng
land by applying the tax to lands, and max
ing II, among other things, tax on tho
rents, issues, and profits of real estate, no
matter in whose hands tho estate may Lc.
Disguise it as we may, the scheme is agra
rian, sectional and unfair. The same kind
and value of property pays tax in one State
and no tax 10 another. If constituencies AMI
people from States which escape can find in
their own interest so great inducemont as TO
s,ok TO iuhict invidious burdens upon other
localities. II will be, if not n new, n hurtful
illustration of the binding and disturbing
force of selfinterest."
Senator CoNKLING here alludcs 10 the fact
that as the tax is now imposed the agricul.

A great controversy is going on in Mnssa-
chusetts over the late explosion on railroad
train NJ Worcester. The ooroners jury found
that the mischief originated with quantity Of
DrrrnAR's new compound "dualn," which was
in one Of the.earsof the train while Mr.. DIrTMAR
denies this, and asserts that but for some patent
exploders which were in the same car, no accident
would have occurred. The charge that dualin
is nothing but compound of nitro gyccrine and
saw dust, he also pronounccs false. The dispute
promises 10 be as interesting and long-continued
as that upon the question whether saltpetre is OF
is not explosive, which, We believe, has never
yet been satisfactorily settled.

Politics in the Fire Department.

The present efficiency Of the FIRE Depart
ment is seriously endangered. When Gen.
ALEXANDER SnALER was President of the
Board of Metropolitan Fire Commissioners.
he had his orders fully oheycd. 1t is true
that many of those orders resembled the
commands Of military officer, because Gen
SnALER had served in the army and had be-
come accustomed to obtain prompt obedience.
His presence alone, therefore, was q check
upon bad men who had got into the depart
ment by political influence. Since
Speaker HITcHMAN has taken the place
of Gen. SHALER, the turbulent spirits
among the rank and file of the iremen have
manifested an Indifference for many OF the
disciplinary rules, and for tho commands OF
their officers, that threatens TO seriously i'm
pair the usefulness Of the Fire Department
unless they are oustcd-
Mr. HITCnMAN was an old fireman before
be became politician, and therefore he
knows perfectly well what is neces-
sary 10 secure the performance of the
| duty for which tho department wa.
organized. Some of the fremen say
L
| that their officers cannot now get then
oustcd, because there are too many politica
managers behind Mr.. HITCHMAA and tn
other Democrats of the Board. We mus
ask the public to believe that this Is not true
until the Board have had time to prove b
decisive action that they will not put tn
property of this great city in jeopardy fror
any regard to petty political combination
and intrigues.
Let all lpsubordinate frcmcn be promptl
punished, and the public interests will b
safe. Otherwise they will remain in COZ
slant peril.
The members of the Fire Department shout
DO better salaried than they are. When the
have paid for their uniforms, and met 9TH

The new Constitution for the State Of
Illinois, which was adopted last Saturday by q
large majority, is generally regarded by the
people Of the State as great improvement upon
the old one. 1t is expected to prevent bribery
aud corruption in the Legislature, the gerryman-
dcring of election districts, the misappropriation
OF public money, the extension of terms of office
by legislation, and a variety of other mischievous
things, with which the citizens of this State are
only too familiar. If the expectations of Illinois
should be realized, II is to be hoped that We may
profit by their experience.

Col. BELoER, quartcrmastor Of the army

but from some discreditable sympathy with the
accused, the court reported that while some Of
his purchases were evidently wrong. they did not
think that he had intended to commit a crime.
