DISTURBED CONDITION OF EUROPE
Fears of another War BettceeIl the Greo, Polpeys
The cable brings lengthy synopsis of a
Paris letter to the London Times concerning
The probability of an early war between
France and Germany. According to the
Times correspondent, there is a powerful
party in Germany which is determined upon
crushing France, in anticipation of the
chances that as soon as the latter nation is
ready there will otherwise be an effort made
to revenge the disasters of 1870 and II. Nego-
tiations for alliances enter into the prospects
Tor peace or war, and IL Is said that the meet
ing between Emperor William and the Gar
Will settle the question. This is the alarmist
view, but it is so persistently maintained,
and the leading statesmen Of Europe have
shown such apprehensions, that ii is not to
be entirely ignored, although il is difficult 10
realize that the conflict can recommence so
early.

REPORT ON THE NEW YORK CANAL
FRAUDS-The report of the joint commit
tee of the New York legislature in relation
to canal frauds states that the system of let
ting and prosecuting contracts for canal
work is full of grave defects, giving oppOr-
tunities for numerous and varied deceptions
and undergraduates that designing
men have not hesitated to embrace. In the
brief time allowed the committee il would
not probably be possible to make even
catalogue in detail of frauds which the testi-
mony indicates, in addition to those which
1t seems cOnclusively to prove. The conclu-
Slons OF the committee fully sustain the al
legations made by the governor. The COM
mittee propose to give to the canal commits
s1oners the appointment aud direct control
OF the inspectors and wOrkmen upon their
divisions, and to the state engineer the APP
pointment and direct control of his subordi-
nate engineers, the canal board to hold the
commissioners and the state engineers re-
spoons ible for the action OF their suboriiuates

THE PERSONAL TAX in the District tax
bill enacted by the last Congress in its
closing hours is failure, and the attempt to
collect il by the Commissioners will be
abandoned Tor the very good reason that it
has not been assessed. Congress bOtched the
whole business, for ii undertook to pass an
intricate bill in an hour or two. The pro-
vision that the assessment should be COM
pleted before May reAdered IL imperative.
The tax On real estate has been assessed, and
will be collected, and ii will be sufficient,
with the appropriation made by Congress, to
provide for the expenses of the next fiscal
year. When the next Congress meets. it must
pass an explanatory act. ana make further
provision for the collection Ga ..i.s ..ax. or
repeal it, The latter will probably be done;
at any rate 1t should be done. Washington
has never had a personal tax, and as the
ablest thinkers and writer's on the subject
agree that the best method of taxation is to
cOnfne il TO real estate, why, at this late
day, enact this peculiar tax? There are
certain advantages which Washington pos
sesses for the scholar and author over almost
any other city in the country. The climate

real property. and make il even then as light

and students who gather here an economical
place OF residence7 Western Congressman
