WASHINGTON, June IS.
The receipts from the collection Of the
Income Tax under the new rate are nearly
two. thirds lcss than under the five per
cent rate OF last year. The cost OF Collec-
tlon will very nearly equal the amount
collected, while the total amount Of re.
ceipts from all sources for the expiring
fiscal year are 80 much in excess Of the
estimated receipts that II is demonstrated
quito conclusively that Congress could
have wholly abolished tho Income Tax
without the slightest detfiment TO the re-
venue. In tact the reduction In taxation,
estimated for by the act Of last July, both
on the tariff and excise, was altogether
too high, for the actual reduction Is likely
10 prove to he from $l00OO,0OO to $751;
600 900 less.

IF this be so the election Of N. Theirs may be
considered as certain. The fact Is that the
National Assembly can not afford to part with
M. Theirs. He is now the only man 10 France
who can harmonize the conflicting claims of
the different parties. He can be safely trusted
by them all, because he is too old to have any
other ambition than that of doing good to
his country. NJ. Theirs has done with the
passions of this world. His age, if not his
large views, places him beyond the narrow
range of party.
1t cannot be denied that M. Theirs predlec-
tions run for an Orleanist or constitutional
monarchy; but he will probably sacrifice his
predictions if republic will better suit the
sentiments of the country. At present he can
maintain the balance of all parties. He can
keep in check the reactionary tendencies of
the majority and subdue the ardor of the
minority. BY accepting the Presidency he
will have morally pledged himself to maintain
the republican form of government during his
term Of Office. Thus the republic will have a
fair trial, aud, once fairly tried, will certainly
be accepted as final.

sand year Is asked as an an
nual allowance to an English Prince
IL would have been twenty, perhaps
thirty, but for fear of the people-and the
police alone prevent huge and violent opposi :
tion demonstrations. Verify the princes Of
the blood royal Of England have fallen on evil
times. Let 1t not be forgotten that there are
other members Of the Queens family to pro-
vide for. Let it also be remembered that
the family of the Prince of Wales is
rapidly on the increase. Some future Mr.
Gladstone will have hard work on hand.
The royal family does really promise to be a
source Of tronble to the future statesmen of
Great Britain.
When these various cases are considered
and thoroughly understood. and when it is
borne in mind that every popular triumph
gives birth to fresh popular demand, it is
not difficult to see that great revolution has
begun Ia England. The democracy grows on
what it feeds. The example of the United
States is telling powerfully on England, and,
indeed, on the whole of Europe. 1t must tell
more and more. Reform must 60 on apace.
The time will come when princes will be
ashamed 10 be paupers. The law of entail
mus. soon follow the right OF purchase; and
the great estates of England, the bulwarks OF
the throne, will become the property of the
people. Not in Great Britain alone, but all
the world over, the privileged orders must
perish.

Tie Coming Of Mr.. Ashbury and the Yacht
hvODia.

Mr.. AshburY, the English yachtsman, is
about to try once more to carry back to Old
England the cup won by the yacht America.
He will leave England the latter part Of Sep
TENDER in one of the Cunard steamers, sending
his new yacht, the Livonia, in advance. On
his arrival arrangements will be made for
the race or races that will probably take
place during the month Of October. The
telegram which announces the approach
ing departure of Mr.. Ashbury says
that he Is coming as the representative
Of twelve English yacht clubs and that he
expects to sail the representative American
yacht twelve races the winner of majority
to take the much-coveted prize. This arrange
ment is new; it Is the first time that anything
has been mentioned concerning it, and 1t re-
mains to be seen what action American
yachtsmen will take in regard TO the matter.
There Is no doubt that Mr.. Ashbury will be
treated With all fairness and impartiality while
with us that bis yacht Livonia will be given
every chance to accomplish that which her
owner most desires; but 1t may be that the
energetic and enthusiastic English yachtsman
has overstepped the mark, and has asked or
demanded that which even Americans will not
be able to grant. It can hardly be supposed
that the little arrangements made by Mr..
.Ashbury will be agreed to, except upon mature
consideration By those American yachtSmsn

The FerrybOat Disnstor.

The investigation into the cause of the explo-
sion of the Westfield Is still continued by the
Board of Supervising Inspectors. The colored
engineer, Robinson, was examined yesterday,
and although practical engineer in so far that
he understands the working of an engine, the
uses of valves and gauges, aud the danger Of
too much steam or too little water in the
boiler, he is ignorant of all the theoretical
principles that govern the operations Of steam,
cannot read or write and is barely competent
to read figures. He had been q fireman and,
doubtless, learned what he knows of an engine
while serving in that capacity. While it may
be question whether there ought not to be
some better school for the graduation of prac-
tical steam engineers, 1t is an undoubted
of our steamboat, railroad and factory engi-
neers learn the business In that school and are
given certificates by the local and United
States inspectors on the practical knowledge
they display, without any prctence of an ex-
animation into their knowledge Of underlyin
theories or reasons why. At any rate, this
man Robinson has In his possession his GER
tifcate Of first class assistants grade, the text
of which he is unable to read. He does not
know the meaning of the word maximum
and it may naturally be inferred that instruc-
tions which he may have received, couched in
language somewhat above the ordinary English
of practical steamboat engineers, is substaa-
italy Greek to him. As to his carefuness,
and even as regards his practical knowledge
of englnery, he confessed that he did not
know what kind Of steam gauge the engine
had, nor did he think that It was correct.
AS for the safety valve, he said
the steam would increase faster than
it could carry 1t away unless he raised It him
SELF The evidence Of the engineer, taken all
In all, is very damaging against the engineer
himself A prudent man, fully impressed
with the responsibility of his situation, would
certainly have had the steam gauge and the
safety valve corrected. 1t may not need any
more schooling than can be obtained by
shovelling coal into the furnace and watching
the movements of an engine rs 1t Is worked by
the agency of steam to make practical
engineer, but it certainly requires some know
edge Of the general principles Of the expan-
sive powers of sseam-soms intelligent COM
prehenslon Of the causes as well as effects Of
the movements of 80 treacherous a giant
to make trustworthy one, into whose hands
the lives of thousands Of our people are to be
entrusted every day.

TnE Coal TRorBLEs In Pennsylvania seem
likely 10 be coon resumed. The miners In o

These troubles bid fair TO be everlasting.

admit foreign coal at such low tariff as will
bring IL into effective competition with the
