year. This would give us total burden Of
$3.50, 600 600, to place against the
1855. 600. 600 of Great Britain. In other
words even after including a charge of
twenty-four millions and half to account
of the sinking fund, which has only
a very feeble counterpart in the English
budget, we ere but siKty-ive
millions in excess of Great Britain in the ag-
gregate of our present burdens. To appre-
cists the comparison, there are various ele-
ments to be kept in view. First the popula-
tion of Great Britain certainly does not ex-
ceed thirty-three and a half millions by the
present census, while cur may safely be taken
at thirty nine millions, showing the very close
average of 1882 per head in England against
516'15 in the United States. We have ex-
cluded from the comparison the surplus
which we have this year provided for the pay
ment Of the principal of the national debt,
since it has no counterpart in the English
budget, the 'terminable annuities" there
being moreover greatly exceeded in amount
by the provision made in our sinking fund"
for q similar purpose, and which we have
taken into account.
It is almost unnecessary to say that in CON-
pairing the financial condition of the two
countries, every other consideration tells
against England. That tax of one cent on
q box of matches should cause riot sufficient
to fTigbten the Government is sufficient evil
dsnce how hard it is to increase the tax
bearing power of the people of Great Britain.
1t is not too much to say that q dollar is twice
as difficult to raise from or to earn by the
mass of the people in England as it is
here, and that, consequently, their financial
burdens press on the nation with double the
weight that ours do. The principal and inte-
rest of our national debt are now but little
over two thousand millions, and the total is
rapidly decreasing, while theirs is almost
stationary at about three thousand eight
hundred millions. Our material resources
are boundless, while theirs show symptoms
of exhaustion. The English democracy are
perfectly cognizant of the facts which these
figures but family represent. In spite of
enlarged popular privileges, the grinding
weight of taxation, instead of diminishing, is
this year to be still further increased. Let
the rulers of England look to it. Their sub
jects are of the same blood as the men who
threw the ea.into Boston harbor for similar
reasons. The time may be unpropitious for
the ''Reds" coming to the top, but it is a
mere question of few years, if the faces Of
the English poor are ground as they are at
present.

The Baltimore Murderess.

The excitement of the Sherman poisoning
case in Connecticut is likely to be driven
from the public mind by this still more ex-
traordinary story Of crime which has come
20 light in Baltimore. One Of the most ac-
complished and attractive ladies in the fash
ionable society Of that pleasant city, Is the
widow of the late Col. Harry W Wharton,
for many years paymaster OF the United
States forces in the department of Maryland.
Hospitable, we'll bred and agreeable. Mrs.
Wharton has been a general favorite, and
her fortune has been large enough to sup
port her in comfort if not in luxury Her
husband, a man of genial manners and
wide popularity, died suddenly in 1867 His
cousin, Col. Edward Wharton, visiting the
house in Baltimore about that time. also
died suddenly. Edward Wharton's daugh-
ter, young lady of Is, followed her father
to the grave few days later. A year ago
Mrs. Wharton S son, Major II. W. Wharton
Jr., died IN the same manner, while visiting
his mother, just after he had insured his life
for large sum of money. The companies
paid the policies to Mrs. Wharton without
question. No suspicious seem to have been
excited by these sudden deaths until within
a few weeks, when other incidents occurred
about which there could be no mistake. On
Saturday, the 2itl of June, two friends Of
Mrs. W hartOn's came to her house. one to
spend few days, and the other to make
short call. The former was Gen. w. :
ketchum well-known retired officer. and a
comrade Of Mrs. Whartons late husband
The other was Mr.. Van Ness, banking
house clerk, who acted as Mrs. Wharton :
financial agent. Gen. Ketchum was taken
i'll the same evening, and died on Wednes-
day, the 2Sth, under circums tances which
have not been made public 1t Is known
