nunca Sc ven EN- contacto con los agen-
tes del fsco, y, al pagar las cosas a
los precios que hacen necesarios las
exigencias del Estado, Sc cree toda-
via que esos precios son los naturales
de las mercanc1as. Este sistema es
ventajosfsimo bajo del punto de vista
polftico."
Las precedentes verdades procla-
madas por Mr. Passy son aplicables 4
cualquiera pals, pero muy especial
mente a Puerto-Rico donde relativa-
mente es mayor ell movimiento de las
aduanas, donde no Sc tienen datos
exactos para repartir con equidad las
Quotas que 4 cada pueblo y a Ca
da contribuyente en- justa proper
cion le corresponds pagar, dorde exis-
ten, por Gltimo, quienes 4 favor de los
abusos, involuntarios por parte del
Goblerno, procuran dar fuerza y apa
riencias de razon q los encubiertos
separatistas que de antique y sin le-
vantar mano trabajan por llevar cabo
la revoluclon moral, hacienda antag6-
nlcos lntereses que son periectamente
afnes y conciliables.

principal del presupuesto de ingresos,
ent6nces la Suppression traeria en- pos
de ST IN gran desequiIibrio rentfstico

pensamiento. Pero no es asl por for

sultando un aumento de 3.109, ,090pe-
setas, Y c@ntimos, 8 sean 621,815
pesos. Este gran aumento en- la renta
de aduanas es debido q los derechos
de exportacion tan oportunamente es-
tablecidos por ell general SAM en- los
tlempos de penuria por que ha atrave
sado esta 1sla. Pues de la cantidad que
ha entrado por las aduanas, 2.556,150
pesetas, Al c6ntimos (S511,272) Sc
han cobrado por concepto de derechos
de exportacion. De las cifras cue de-
jamos estampadas, Sc deduce que por
ese nuevo derecho que algunos tratan
de suprimir (siquiera porque tiene el
pecado original de haber sido estable-
cldo por ell general SAM ayudado por
algunos hombres ricos del partido con-
servadoD Sc han recaudado 135,548

LA CONTRIBUTION.

"La contribution, dice un eminen-
te economista frances, debe rpropor-
cional, es decir, repartida de modo que
no Sc exija a cada contribuyente mas
que una pate proportional q Ia cifra
total de las ganancias de cada uno."
Esta regla elemental que la equidad
prescribe para la a2licacion de toda
contribution directa, es inaplicab.e
cuando no existe un caastro exacto de
la riqueza imponib!e como acontece
en- Puerto-Rico Nosotros tenemos no
tlclas de los abusos que Sc cometen
en- el reparto de la contribution ter
rltorial y estamos convencidos hasta la
evldencia de que la question de subsi-
do es la que con mas Gxito los radi-
Gales agltan para engrosar sus Fl as
electorales. En la Isla de Cuba la con-
trlbucion directa fue ell caballo de ba-
talla de la insurreccion. No habramas
contribucion"; esa fue la promesa que
movi6 a muchos campesinos 4 coad-
yuvar 4 un movimiento cuya signifi-
caciony trascendencia no compren-
'd!eron la mayor parte de los que fue-
'ronv1ctimas de sus pretendidos pro-
tectores. Nadie ignora que aquf desde
las elecciones de la Diputacion pro-
vlncial los propagandislas verbalcs del
partido ultra reformista hacian correr
valida la promesa de que ell triun o de
los radicales traerla en- pos de ST la su-
preston de las contribuciones dire tas,
promesa Que tuvieron buen cuidadc
de no escribir en- los peri6dicos, por-
que las doctrlnas verdaderamente de-
mocratlcas no admiten otra clase de
contribution que la directa. La su-
preston de las aduanas y el i'm
puesto dnico y directo son la ba-
Sc economical de los partidarios de
sdI0ense los principles etc. Asf es que
csa Diputacion de que soto voce Sc de-
cia habia de salir la aboiicion 9, GUAM
do menos, la disminucion de las con.
tribuciones, lejos de realizar las espe-
ranzas de sus antiques admiradores,
la contribution que existfa anadi6 la
carga de 486,079 pesetas 8 sean Glen
m't pesos pr6ximamente, de los cuales
cinco mil correspondent q esta Capital.
Los resultados que estan dando los
radlcales al frente de los destinos de
la Provincial haran mas cautos & los
electorespara otra OCCASION, pormasque
sc trate de hacer yer que 81 la Dipu-
tacion no ha hecho la felicidad del pals
en- los ocho meses que lleva de exis-
tencia, es porque no Sc eligieron los
Ayuntamientos populares y porque les
re0cclonarloS, sin embargo que no han
entrado en- la Corporation, son un obs
taculo que neutraliza ell bien que era
de esperar de ella. No falta quien olga
que los diputados a C6rtes trataran
de obtener la Suppression del impuesto
directo; pero no cabe en- los principles
de tan avanzados senores una medida
economical que escandalizarfa al ST..
Moret "a todos los que profesan sus
doctrinas. Declararse un dem6crata
radical contra la contribution directa
es Ian il6gico como el que un carlista
Sc declare en- favor del sufragio uni
versal.

True Account Of the Death of General Phil
Kearney

An officer of Stonewall Jackson's COM
mand relates an interesting Renaissance
of the death of General Phil Kearney, of
the Federal army who fell MORALLY wound
ded in one of the bloody and hard contest
ed battles on the Potomac during the late
war-of which the relatOr was an eye wit
ness. He says:
1.-THE gallant Kearney received his death
wound from a private in my command,
and when he fell from his horse / hasten
ed with many others to the point where
he lay, not supposing that his wound was
mortal one. Just as we reached his
body, however, his limbs gave one cOnvul-
sive culver, and then all was over. Seeing
that he was major general, word was sent
to headquarters to that effect, and General
Jackson, coming to the spot, Immediately
gave one glance at the dead officers fea-
lures, and exclaimed, My God, boys, do
you know who you have killed? You
have shot the most gallant officer in the
United States army. This is Phil Kear-
ney, who lost his arm in the Mexican
war; He then involuntarily lifted his hat,
every officer in the group following his eX-
ample, and for the moment a reverential
silence was observed by all. Subsequent
| ly the body of the dead soldier was placed
| upon two boards, and when being remOv-
| ed to headquarters was followed by Gen
| eral Jackson, General Ewell and other of
| ficers, while regimental band proceeded
| it, playing dead march,"

CHURCH IMpRoyEaEsrs.-Every day "

CHURCH IMpRovEHENTs.-Every day We
! find some new evidence of The increased
prosperity OF Richmond. Not the least Is
! the spirit of enterprise which has induced
| so many Of the city churches to repair aud
renoyate their houses OF worship. All of
| the Baptist churches that are not new are
being more OF less repaired.
The Second Baptist church has been
greatly beautifcd inside and out, and made
cupation next Sunday, though the repairs
will not be completed by chat time. A
splendid organ Will soon be put in the gall
lery as accessory to the well.trained choir.
The First Baptist church have planned
extensive Improvements upon their build
ing, and workmen are already busy on the
basement floor. Repairs are also going on
at the Gracc.StIeet church which will
greatly improve its appearance and afford
better accommodation for the congrega-
tion.
The new Grace-street Presbyterian
church, Of which Dr.. Read is pastor, will
not remain much longer in its present un-
finished condition. 1t is proposed to COM
mance work upon the auditorium at once,
and to haye it ready for dedication before
next spring, when the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church will meet in
this city. This church will be great orna-
ment 10 our city.
The Broad-Street Methodist church has
recently been improved by repairs upon
the spire.
An enlargement of the Second Presbyte-
rian church (Rcv. Dr.. Hoge's) is i'll contem-
plation. 1t should be enlarged if it is de-
sirable TO accommodate comfortably the
Sunday afternoon congregations this WIN
ter.
The Sycamore (Disciples') church is as
suming fine proportions, and gives promise
of being by fer the finest church in the city.
Let us have some church editces built of
the unsurpasysblc James River granite.
