The bills for the taxation of insurance cap
ital, one of which mas passed the Senate, start
two classes of objections, neither of which
touch the most important point at issue. 1t
is believed by some of the officers of insurance
companies that these measures are merely the
efforts Of strikers, meant to be ultimately de-
feated for price. 1t is also rumored that
the companies may, If the bills pass, withdraw
to other States, which is highly improbable.
That the companies would put larger pro-
portion of their funds in United States bonds
to avoid taxation, seems altogether more
likely. But after al, the real question
about such measures, and the one in
which the insuring public Is most deeply in
tcrested is whether any taxes of the kind
would not ultimately tend to make the cost of
insurance greater. In that case the tax would
simply be added to the burdens of business.

1t was not to be expected that tho Rapid
Transit road would be built without the most
strenuous opposition from the surface railroads
ON its route. The Sixth Avenue Railroad Com
pany is making a formidable fight, largely
based on law points. There is, however, one
practical objection urged against the Rapid
Transit plans that will interest the public.
The Sixth Avenue Road claims that the posts
now about 20 be inserted for the Elevated
Road will seriously interfere with passengers
getting on and Oft the horse-cars. IL the posts
are to be set so that the horse cars pass within
20 inches, an increase of accidents must re-
suit, and especially TO the very large class OF
passengers who get on and off the street cars
without stopping them.

The great splash of testimony at st. Louis
about frauds in the Treasury Department is
pretty sure to thin out into ripple without
overwhelming anybody. The whole story bears
o striking likeness to one that was started
during the term of Gen. Spinner's management
and was then shown to be utterly untrue.

Writing on Friday, pointed out number of
most Objectionable features III Senator Woodin's
charter amendment bill as it passed the Senate, and
insisted that the House should promptly strike these
out if indeed it did not find it better to strike out
everything after the enactlng clause. At that very
hour, the House was engaged in doing precisely
that thing If our letter describing this work had
come little earlier, if the House had delayed its
action little LATER we should have missed the I'M
usual opportunity of showing on two separate pages
of The TRIBUNE how completely the House was
doing precisely what we thought it ought to be
doing.

Mr. John Welsh and his associates Of the Centen-
NAL Board OF Finance take justiiabe pride in tho
fact that their early estimates of the total cost of
organizing the Philadelphia Exhibition have proved
rrmarka ably accurate. We ecannot help thinking how
different it would have been had the finances of the
enterprise been in the hands OF Government officials
instead OF those OF body of energetic and prudent
business men. II Congress had shouldered the un-
dcrtaking at the start authorized tho lato Snpervi
sing Architect Mr.. Mullet. to put up the buildings

She has been invaded by Salvador and Guate-

New-York tribune., 1876-04-24

Mr. George II. Pendleton has been extensively as
sailed for his conduct in the Kentucky Railroad bns
ness, on the theory that he the guardian of the
Bowler heirs and that he was thus bound by his
duty as guardian, as well by his duty as Presi-
dent of the road to preserve for the heirs who were
it's principal stockholders the large sum of money
which ho received for collecting its war claim. 1t Is
q curious instance Of the way in which injustice is
done by tho wide acceptance of first hasty impress
son that throughout the country this supposed ro-
lationship Of Mr Pendeton to the Bowler heirs, as
guardian has been cited the chief reason for find
ing fault with his action. In point of fact it now APP
pears that Mr.. Pendeton is not and never was, the
guardian of the Bowler heirs. Journals which have
made the mistake ought in justice to him to make
prompt and complete correction.

Mr.. Clapp's management of tho Government
Printing Office seems to have been, to say the
least, sadly careless. The whole business of
that Office invites carelessness and extrava-
gance. The waste in what was done has in
any case been greater than in the way of
doing it, and the largest kind Of a saving
might be made by reducing the public print
ing TO what the public needs
