Preparing for the Paris Exposition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-two sailing ships
and steamer will lie ready to sail In Febru-
ary and March under the direction of the
Secretary of the Navy with goods for the
French International Exposition The Com
missioner Of Agriculture will at once proceed
to prepare for an extensive display of cotton,
tobacco, wool, Indian corn, sugar, rice and
other products of this country He also in
tends to. exhibit choice collection Of different
kinds OF wood of this country. Gov McCor-
mick. the Commissioner General, will, the
first OF next week, issue rules and regulations
concerning. the application for space and the
transportation of goods. He will require the
services OF only four or five clerks up to the
opening of the Exposition, and these places
have already been filled.
Commander William A. Kirkland has been
designated to command the ship Supply, the
lirst vessel to be loaded with American goods
M Ior the Paris Exposition. The Supply is at
New New J iork. and will be loaded at that port.

The Income Tax.
IN. Y. Herald

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia subcommittee of
the Ways and Means will probably report to
the whole committee proposition to reim-
pose an income tax, the object being to obtain
by this means a decrease Of the tobacco tax
and OF one or two other internal taxes. The
argument made In favor of an income tax is
that the Eastern and seaboard Middle States
now pay fas less internal tax than the North
western and the Southern Middle States.
that property and production are overtaxed
IN these latter compared with the burdens
borne by the former, and that an income
tax, would equaize the load Western
and Southern members of the House very
generally favor an income tax, and the
measure Is especially strong among the
Northwestern members, who say that gov
ernment, bonds are almost all owned in the
sseaboard States; that these are exempted
from taxation and that an income tax is the
only way to reach the bondholders. Mr.. Har-
rison, of Illinois, has bill laying a grad
uated income tax and bearing very heavily
on large incomes. which he means to push
after the recess. But his bill will probably
be referred to the Ways and Means Commit
tee, which Is not Of one mind upon the subject
at present but it will thoroughly consider
the question, and 1t is not unlikely that part
OF the comprehensive plan for raising the
revenue needed, which 1t will bring into the
House soon after January 10, will be an in
come tax laid specifically for one year, and to
TALL unless 1t Is renewed by an act of the next
Congress-
