THE INCOME TAX.

rFO"s Sao ". II : sun
We are sorry that we have not been able
to praise the most of President Grants mes
sage; but what he says upon the subject of
revenue reform merits appreciation. He de-
sires to abolish the present cumbrous ma
chinery of the Internal Revenue Department.

manlike. 1t involves, as every one will per-
ceive, the entire abandonment of the un-
constitutional income tax
We trHst that Congress will lose no time
IN giving effect to this part of the Presidents s
recommendation. 1t is true that it NAV not
be possible at once TO simplify the whole
system of taxation as much as he recommends
but it certainly is practicable to repeal the
income tax without delay. That tax is not
only unconstitutional, unjust, and odious
but, as il stands at present, it is glariug vio-
lation of the public faith.
1t pToclaims, in q manner that cannot be
gainsaid, that the people, as represented in
Congress, esteem it light thing to repudiate
the obligations of the Government When
this tax was first enacted, it was solemuly
stipulated that it should expire at the end Of

was the stipulation that the bonds Of the

Congress last year deliberately enacted a law

we have lost, If Congress would bat let our
citizens buy ships in the cheapest market
Who objects The ship-builders alone, Of
all our population, have any apparent interest
in objecting. They are a small class, whose
Interest should not be weighed against the
commerce of the whole country and the i'm
portance of having a great body of trained
American seamen from whom we could at
once recruit our navy in the event of
foreign war. And even the ship-builders
would not be injured; for, having no busi-
ness now, they have no longer anything
TO lose. Free trade in everything, by
giving them cheap materials, might enable
them to revive their business; but the couu-
try will tolerate no subsidies heavy enough to
bring them any effective relief. The real
practical question IS between having no
ocean-going vessels carrying the American
flag and a removal of the restrictions on the
purchase of foreign-built ships. Free trade
in ships would quickly restore our lost mari
time Importance; and free trade in everything
would eventually, though perhaps slowly,
enable us to compete with the foreign ship
builders. Our native builders have a mono
poly of constructing vessels for the coasting
trade, which nobody proposes taking from
them. Free materials would increase the pro-
fits of this branch of business, and we are in
no danger of losing the art of ship-building

FEMALE FATNESS AT LONG BRANCH.
The slightness and delicacy of American
women are proverbial; but judging from the
visitors here, they have undergone a change.
Are our countrywomen feshy? Have they
suddenly increased their avOirdupois? If
they have not, the corpulent sisterhood have
certainly descended upon the Branch, and by
their liberal presence have not added to the
grace or beauty of villa or hotel life. Stout
ness, especially in the opposite sex, is mis-
fortune both artistically and socially. Who
would admire the Venus de Medici, the Ma
donnas of Ratfaelle or the Magdalens of Til
ano, if they were plethoric
We all know how difficult it is for us to be-
come reconciled to Rubens' fat wives, whom
he always introduces, whether Virgin or god
dess or fine lady, into his compositions. And
we all know how flesh repels admiration and
paralyZes sympathy in the realities OF life.
Europeans complain that the beautiful Amer
lean girl loses her beauty after marriage and
maternity by reason of her thinness and angu-
larity II it were so, she would be better off
than the danes of the Old World who run to
fatness. Hardly any French or German,
Italian or Spanish, or even English woman,
can escape flesh after forty. 1t comes upon
her like an aesthetic judgment of the malig-
nant gods, and all the wooers she has Tilted
in her early days are deeply avenged. don't
think I've ever seen so many tleshy women at
a watering place as there are at the Branch
this season. Their proportion is as five to
one of the spirited, fne-limbed, clear-cut
creatures whose very bodies seem informed
with thought.
1t is exceedingly amusing to see the over
plump women indulging in their saltatorial
energies at the Continental and West End
hops; and it requires no little self-discipline
TO prevent one from laughing at the ludicrous
figure they make. Last evening could not
