yestment will stand tho test Of inquiry in the
United States Supreme Court. Our Senate will
doubtless hcsitats before passing bill oil
doubtful cOnsttutiOnality. But there are many
other bad features The bin applies taxation
to all Investments except those in real estate {:
of course as regards capital invested in bank
stock and many other good securities, the re-
suit would be a double taxation. 1t IL, how
ever, to the results Of this measure,
should it become law, that the most serious
attention is due. With life insurance COM
panies its effect would DO to dernnge tho nicely
calculated basis of their whole business. They
could only meet it by revision of their tables
or a change in the form Of their investments.
The result with the fire insurance companies
would DO even worse. They now keep large
portion of their capital in United States secur-
tiles, so as to be ablo to meet sudden require
ments for large sums OF money. Under such a
law, these investments would be made instead
in mortgages, and whenever a great fire Oc-
CURED these mortgages would have to be called
in or sold, and the emlarassments which the
fire created would be greatly multiplied, it, in
deed, insurance did not cease to insure
The wisdom of taxation on capital is always
doubtful The true field for taxes is the profit
realized by any form of business or industry.
We're an attempt made to tax all forms OF
capital throughout the State, the folly OF such
a scheme would soon be forced upon the
attention Of orr legislators. Capital and labor
are the basis of all prosperity whatever
dmini>hes them or impedcs their natural oper-
alton, Injuries the community. Taxation I'M
posed upon insurance capital would DO ulti-
matey paid by every citizen that insurcs. In
other words, the price of insurance in com
panics Of this State, would he by so much
increased. To Just such an extent would these
companies be crippled in competition with all
others. The bill ought TO be entitled, "An

T1XING INSER1NCE CiPfTAL.

The desperation of the hungry horde Of
strikers at Albany, as shown in the unusually
large annual crop OF bills to interfere with
insurance interests, has already been the sub
iect of comment in these columns. The amend
ments TO the State Constitution, which put a
pictus on large classes of special legislation,
have greatly reduced the field of the lobby.
The tendency to investigation and reform, so
notably exhibited i'll respect to Canal frauds,
makes for time at least rare atmosphere
of purity at the State capital, which the class
that live by bringing influences to bear on
Legislators find difficulty in breathing. AT last
however, they have pushed one bill through
the Assembly, and il now hangs as a threat
over the insurance interests Of the community
1t is bill to tax capital in life, fire, and
marine insurance companies.
The advocates of this bill claim that its OBJ
ject is TO reach the portion Of insurance capt.

rites. 1t may wei be doubted whether any
bill which specifically taxes this form Of in

The Legislature has not given the Governor
the power of removal he asked and should
have had. 1t is temporary triumph OF the
Canal Ring, won distinctly by Canal Ring
votes, ami cbampioned by the Canal Rings
two most devoted, humble servants, Speaker
Mcclure and Thos. G. AlvoId. 1t will somewhat
rctard but cannot, VIC think, defeat the move
ment against the thieves which the Absolute
Removal bill would have made an assured
victory from the day of its passage. We
deeply regret that Republicans should have
been so unwise as to permit themselves
to oppose giving aid TO the Governor at this
iuncture. They had the chance to reap tho
harvest from the reform seed the Democrats
have sown; but in these days of small men
in Office there were no leaders who could see
it, OF knew how to use it.

Our correspondence from Kansas, on the
third page, gives definite information az TO The
relief afforded by Eastern bcncvOlcnce to the
sufferers by the grasshopper plague. Their
lives have been saved, and starvation that bad
else been inevitable, has been averted. In the
face of this excellent result we need
not look too narrowly into the details
of the distribution, since on the whole it
has been wisely managed. That there should
have been some instances of deceit on the part
Of applicants and knavery on the pant Of col
lectOrs III this great work, might have been
foreseen. That some decentralization would
follow in the path of this great charity, was
to be expected, and doubtless many who never
before solicited aims will be made dependents
by this easily acquired aid. But when all this
is admitted We may yet rejoice in the good
that has been done, and continue to believe
that In America no man need starve.

views respecting q reduction OF canal tolls.
On this subject there is room FOR Il variety Vi
opinion, but as to the terminal charges ticre
is no such question. The most oppressive eX-
actions on commerce by the canals are AT
Buffalo and in this city, and If these can be
