Mr. CHANDLER ExpLAINs--A Boston dispatch
states that Mr.. W. E Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, was in the city on Friday, and talked
freely in relation to his recent letter. Refer
ring 10 the statement that his letter did not
/ contain proof Of his serious imputatons made
against the President as TO the bargain with
the Sonlh, by which be stepped into Office, Mr.
Chandler said he thought he had made very
plain and direct statements indeed, and he
felt no doubt whatever that, unless answered,
they would carry conviction wherever they
were candidly considered His attention being
called to published statement that if he chose
10 reveal what he knew concerning the count
in Florida. Mr. Hayes would forfeit his seat
Mr.. Chandler said that that statement was en-
tirely without authority. The vote in Florida
was IS fairly cast for Haves as was that of
Massachusetts, except by smaller majority,
he said. 1t was well known, he said, that he
was resident 10 Florida at the time, and
knows whereof he speaks Referring TO other
suggestions thrown ont that he was keeping
good deal in reserve, he said 81 do nos sup
pose for moment that | have exhausted all
the information may have acquired in the
course of a life time 10 this letter, but have
put forward, so far as thought necessary, the
whole truth in the matter referred to; at least
al''that was called for by the OCCASION"
Judge Lawrence, of Chicago. one Of the
members of the Louisiana commission, having
had his attention called to that part of Mr..
Chandlers letter charging that Lawrence was
rewarded for his action by the withdrawal OF
the prosecution against Jacob Rhem, of Chica-
go, for whisky frauds, characterizes the charge
as utterly absurd. The case was dismissed, he
says, solely on testimony and representations
of government counsel. He bad presented the
case to the Attorney General and Secretary
Sherman after his return from New Orleans,
and by them it was referred to the local Of
6cials of Chicago, but he had never mentioned
Rehms name to President Hayes.

Proposed Revival OF tho Income
Tax.

In spite of what committees of Congress
may report and recommend we do not be-
lieve that the income tax will ever be re-
vived except, perhaps, in the stress OF
another great war. 1t is the most unpopu-
lar and the most unjust Of all methods OF
raising revenue ever tried in this country.
At first blush nothing would seem tairor
than to tax citizens in proportion to the
amount of their several incomes. But this
superficial view will not Dear examina-
ton. Among hundreds of illustrations
OF it's uniairness let us compare the
income OF physician whose pro-
fessional fees amount to five thousand
receives five thousand dollars year for
rents on real estate If the physician falls
sick or dies his whole income stops and his
family is left in want; but if the real estate
owner dies the income on his property con-
tinues the same, and his family is rs COM
Portable pecuniarily as If his life had been
spared. There is no justice in taxing in
comes from property and incomes from pro-
fessional earnings at the same rate. BY our
State laws, which are meant to be equita-
BILE, earnings are not taxed, but only prop
erty. The taxation of earnings would OPP
crate as forfeiture of large part of exist
ing life insurance policies by making it
impossible for holders of policies to con-
tinue to pay the premiums.
Besides the injustice of imposing the
same tax upon incomes from property and
incomes from earnings an income tax is OBJ
jectionable in consequence OF the utter inn
possibility of assessing it except from the
statements of parties. Domiciliary visits
and inquisitorial proceedings are repugnant
to the genius of our government but it is
nation can be made to the true income of
individuals. In it's practical operation an
income tax is q tax upon honesty. Up
right and conscientious citizens will re-
turn their true income, but larger
number will resort to every kind of dis
honest artifce to conceal the facts. An in
come tax is premium on perjury and
tends to corrupt the community. 1t would
be unjust to compel people to pay in pro-
portion to their incomes even if their in
comes could be truly ascertained, since
incomes from earnings and from property
stand on so different footing; but it would
be doubly unjust to collect tax on the real
income of honest citizens and the false in
come returns of persons who would make
no scruple of evading the tax. No law is
wise or expedient which exposes o great
part of the community to strong tempta-
ton to commit an annual perjury.

The story which we elsewhere print con-
corning the education Of the young Queen
of Spain shows what a wonderful levelling
upward has taken place in the world, even
in our own day. 1t is told by a Boston
young lady, who was the classmate of the
Princess, in series of letters, which are
the more interesting in print because they
!. were never intended to be placed in the set
ting Of type The picture which this keen.
observant daughter. of New England draws
of the royal pupil is q charming one. She
was modest, unassuming, fond Of fun, and,
like the majority OF her companions, not
over fond of work. The child-queen-1or
she was betrothed at the time-was we'll up
in the mysteries Of prisoners base" so that
they found it unnecessary to instruct her,
and she was good runner and loved to be
chased by her playmates She was by no
means model Of goodness and is found in
punishment occasionally. But, taken all
in ALL the girlhood of SPANS young Queen,
as sketched by our young countrywoman,
was pleasant one and gives promise that
as wife and sovereign she will be q very
great improvement upon some Of her prede-

Are the Charges True.

Alderman 'Waehner and some Of the city
papers make serious charges against the
Police and the Park Commissioners, alleg-
ing that their neglect of duty renders n
great public thoroughfare in the heart of
the city scandal in the daytime and a
peril by night. 1t is asserted by them that
Washington square is the common resort of
bad characters; that neither men nor women
of responsibility can venture there after
dark, or, indeed in the early evening with
out the danger Of being insulted, and that
no lady dares to even cross the square
alone. Washington square is under double
police protection, the park force claiming
authority inside the square and the city
police pretending to guard the streets
surrounding it. If the condition Of
the square is correctly described both
the Park and Police Commissioners
deserve to be removed from Office for Grim
inal neglect of duty. The people pay heavily
for police protection, and where, as in this
instance, q double force ought to be on
hand day and night to guard the public
and to preserve the peace, it is outrageous
that such state Of affairs should exist It
is alleged that this shameful inefficiency of
both the park and city police has SO injured
the value of property around Washington
square that many owners are eager to get rid
of their houses. Thus the maladministra-
ton of the two departments is direct in
jury to the taxpayers and to all the public
interests OF course the condition of the
neighborhood, if correctly described, would
be conclusive argument against putting an
armory there, even if the objection of the
wanton destruction Of public park did not
exist. The charges implied by Mr.. Waeh-
ner and some of our contemporaries are
of so grave q character MS to demand inves-
tigation. But let us hope that Washington
square, like distinguished character whom
several persons have recently been seeking
to deprive of home, is not SO black rs it is
painted.

American Ownership OF Foreign
PLAYS.

Dramatically speaking the United States
is borrowing nation. That is, it is Dor
rowing new plays from England, France
and Germany when it is not stealing them.
Latterly there has been partially success
full attempt to devise means for protect
ing those who are the first to borrow play
from abroad against those who steal it after
ward, but the matter has never been pushed
to final issue in the highest courts, and so
is practically undecided. French and Eng
lish authors have sold to various parties in
this country copies of their plays, with
what is described as the Fright to produc-
ton in America" 1t is denied on one hand
and held on the other that this Fright" ex-
lists legally, rs it should morally. Standing
apparently square in the way of it is the
law of the United States, which says (sec-
ton 4,071. Revised StatV1es):-
Nothing 10 this chapter [rolating to copyrights]
shal be construed to prohibit the printing pu bsh.
Ing importation or sale or any book, man. chart.
dramatic musical composition, PRINT cut en-
craving or photograph written composed or made
resident therein.
Those who happen at the time to be pay
ing the foreign authors hold, first, that
stage representation is not publication, and,
further, that under the common law they are
protected in their property acquired by pur-
chase from those who had ownership abroad.
Those who happen not to be paying the for
eigners hold the contrary. Representation
is to them publication of the most pro-
nounced kind. They. further hold that
where the law of the United States SO mani
testify destroys property in dramatic COM
positions from abroad no proprietary right
can exist. They further hold that the man
who purchased abroad secured nothing as
property but the bare copy of the play. AS
the law stands it is very evident that our
lawgivers wished to give us full fling at the
brainwork of foreigners, but whether they
expressed that intention explicitly in this
particular is disputed. The frequency of
these disgraceful disputes suggests that the
matter should not be left in doubt, but that
the law should be tested in the highest
courts. II it should prove that foreign
authors have no rights and that the plagiarist
and the pirate are privileged, it may lead
to treaty which would not only protect
the foreign author, but give the American
author foreign market when he had any
thing worthy of crossing the seas. He is q
small factor in the question just now, but
the present state Of affairs tends to keep
him SO.
