The OdiOus Income Tax.

Without any Immediately pressing neces-
sity, which alone could justify the step, the
revival of the income tax seems to be
seriously contemplated. The committee of
ways and means has voted practically for
its imposition by a majority of one-five to
six. The plan involves an exemption on all
incomes under two thousand dollars, tax
of two per cent. on all incomes between two
all incomes between five and ten thousand
dollars, and four per cent. on all incomes
exceeding ten thousand dollars. Certain re-
auctions are to be made for rent and taxes,
etc, as in the income tax of war times. Al
though such measure may be theoretically
the most equitable form of taxation, it is
nevertheless palpaby true that our expert
ence has demonstrated it to be most burden
some and corrupting, If there were any
method of ascertaining the actual income
of all citizens, no farer tax could well be
devised but it is simply impossible to do
this, and the attempt is odiously inquisi-
torial. Such tax compels every man to
turn his affairs inside out before the public
it presses heavily on salaried men who are
generally the least able to pay heavily, and
presses lightly on men of uncertain incomes
whose means are generally largest, but who
are sure not to give their country the ben
eft of their uncertainty. 1t presses heavily
on honest men who value an oath more than
dollar, and lightly on dishonest men who
value dollar more than an oath. 1t as
sumes that all men will make honest re-
turns which is not true and it offers a
premium to all that will make dishonest re-
turns, which is not safe. The simple fact
that the man who received the largest popu
lar vote for President in the last election is
now on trial for a false income return, and
with so much reason that the court has
oyelruled his demurrer and required tria
of the issue of fact, is itself sufficient ar
gument against the re-imposition of a tax
which costs more to the morals of the com
munity than it can ever make for the revenue

Notes and Notions.

THE demagogues in Congress are a good
deal enraged at the prospect of the financial
question settling itself and their sole capital
vanishing.
adjournment of Congress- the Senate having
unanimously passed resolution to adjourn
June 10th.
THE Lewiston (Me) journal does not he
lieve score of Republican Congressman
could be elected on a platform squarely con-
demning President Hayes.
THERE seems to be reasonable assurance
that the plan of gaining Republican victories
by fighting the democracy, instead of the
Administration, will soon be adopted inside
and outside of Congress.
THE question of opening the Paris Exhi-
bition on Sundays is TO be decided by the
National Assembly. 1t is calculated that
million of francs would be lost by closing
the exhibition ON that day.
TREASURY officials at Washington report
that of the seventeen million dollars of frac-
tional currency now outstanding, it is not
expected that more than one-third will ever
be presented for redemption, the balance hav-
ing been worn out or destroyed
Henry WATTERsoN, of the Louisville,
(Ky) Courier Journal, the great democratic
paper of the region, says of the party to
which he belongs " Not to put too fine a
point upon it, we are ritf-raff of poor FOOLS
clinging to the coat tail of providence that
Bob Ingersoll would tell us owed several bills
to his tailor"
Mr.. TILDEN, being interviewed, makes a
remark or two about himself. Referring to
a rumor that he was thinking of the United
States Senate, he desires to say that am
not now, aud never will be again, can
didate for a seat in the Senate or in the
governors chair" To the further query,
whether he would not again be candidate
for any political office, came the laughing
response "Oh now, that's another thing"
Fact is, Uncle Tilden doesn't lose sight of
1880 these days.
"SENAToR HOWE" says our Washington
correspondent "made an appeal for mercy
in the Senate the other day, by way of a
personal explanation. lie has evidently
been suffering from the lashings he mas re-
ceived from the press and people every

The Rankrnnt Law.

1t would seem that eight or ten years ex-
perience and the almost interminable dis
cussions in Congress ought to secure a right
decision in respect to the wisdom of this
law. And yet we are by no means sure that
Congress is not making a serious mistake in
the unconditional repeal which it now seems
to have determined upon. Everybody adj
mits that the existing law is defective, es-
pecially in its operation upon the creditor
party. The machinery is too volumnous
and complicated, the delays are intolerable,
and the expense outrageous. But these and
other defects have been made manifest by
experience; and this experience has fur
nished very important data by which Con
gress may be guided in perfectng the law,
which, in our judgment, is the thing to be
done, rather than to repeal it.
The necessary consequence of repeating
the law of Congress will be to throw the
whole subject of insolvency and bankruptcy
exclusively into the hands of the states. In
Vermont we suppose the insolvency act of
1876 will be brought into requstion, no
steps having hitherto been taken, to our
knowledge, to put it to practical use. State
laws upon this subject will necessarily be
widely diverse in their provisions, with a
strong temptation in each state to legislate
in the interest of its own citizens and
against those of others. This is Just what
the trainers of the constitution meant to
prevent in giving to Congress the power to
establish "uniform laws on the subject of
bankruptcies throughout the United States.
Their theory was that the people of the
United States, though separated by state
lines, would, in the commercial sense, be
practically one people, and that such a
power, granted to Congress and made uni
form in its action upon the whole country,
would be much better for the interests OF
both creditor and debtor than to leave the
subject to be disposed of by purely local leg
islation. We have no doubt that they were
right and hence we favor national bank.
rupt law.
1t being admitted that law ought to pro
vide some just and equitable method for set
ting and legally closing the account between
debtor and creditor in cases of insolvency
then Congress, having the power by the con
stitution, ought to be body competent t.
supply such a law, if not upon the first trial
yet by repeating the experiment till the bes
attainable human wisdom shall have beel
gained Legislation in all countries is

in the correction of its own mistakes

The Coming EclinSe.

1t seems a pity that our Congressman
can't lift their eyes from their groveling
work long enough to get some appreciation
of the Importance to science of the total
eclipse of the sun, which ia to take place on
the Goth of the approaching July. An ap-
preparation of eight thousand dollars was
asked for by the Secretary of the Navy for
the purpose of making observations at that
time, but no action has been taken upon the
bill beyond its consideration by the Senate
ditions to Montana, two to Colorado, one to
Wyoming, and two to Texas. The best as
tronomers would doubtless volunteer to go,
so that no estimate was made for salaries
but simply money enough to pay the neces-
sary expense of "a two weeks absence, and
the cost of transporting instruments. The
Superintendent of the Naval Observatory
says that the sum Of all the opportunities
which all the astronomers of the world can
get for observing such eclipses does not ex-
coed five or six hours in century" When
| il is considered that the changes in the sea
sons, and in the succession of the storms
that are going on upon the earth, are sup
posed to be due to the state of commotion
in which the sun appears to be, and that sat
isfactory observations of his Majesty can
only be taken at the time of total eclipse
some idea of the Importance of this event
can be formed, The path of totality is from
one hundred and twenty to one hundred anC
fifty miles wide. and runs in diagonal lin,
across the center of the United States iron
Montana to Texas. 1t is TO be hoped tina
Congress will not stupidity allow anything 81
important to the interests of Astronomical
and meteorological science to pass by with
out taking steps to make the most of so rar
an occurrence.
Another event of astronomical importanc
is the transit of Mercury the 9th of mex
month. Great preparations have been mad
for observing this, as it is expected that
will settle a number of vexed questions

The Third District.

Ncssrs. EditOrs - Some innocent correspondent
of the Burlington Free Press of April 10TH, speak
ing of the affairs of this District thinks that it is
" for the people to say whether there is to he Il
change" and that "there are many good men
from whom they can choose etc, no doubt re-
fleeing upon his school-boy lessons on the corsti-
tuition, and the "will of the majority ETC. as
though all these Utopian dreams were living real

So but too well do practical men realize that some
times the will of the maiorty has but little to do
with the result, Some schemers, by n nice move
here and counter-move there, q cunning "lay-
ing of pipes" careful manipulation of the polit-
zeal wires, and by putting little money where
it will do the most good will force themselves
through n convention and into a seat in Congress
while well-deservng patriot, the peoples rea
choice, is left out in the cold.
If a man has been a notorious government con
tractor, and has amassed a large fortune by ways
that are mysterious, he is none the less qualified
to play deep political game as the Third Dis
trict will discover sooner or later,
1t has been well said that neither the Hon JOIN
l.. Mason nor Governor lIendee will lose many
nights sleep over the subject and as for the 9th

not lose much sleep either for if Bradley Barlow

A Mammoth Bridge.

London is about to attempt bridge which
rivals in boldness of engineering that of New
York and Brooklyn. The board of works
have approved plan for throwing steel
bridge across the Thames about half mile
east of London bridge, where relief for the
crowded traffic is imperiously demanded
The recent improved process in the manufac-
ture of steel, by which its strength is twice
that of iron, and its cost is greatly reduced
enables the construction of the proposed
bridge. One bold span of eight hundred and
fifty feet will carry the proposed highway
across the river from the Irongate stairs to
Horselydown. OF course the approaches ex-
tend father inland The bridge is designed
in the form of an immense span, and is com
posed of two parallel girders, the arch spring
ing from the foot of that which appears to be
a thanking tower on each side of the river
The roadway passes almost in level line
very near the top of these towers, and inter
sects the arch at short distance from the
shore, the greater part of the roadway being
suspended from the parallel girders between
which it passes. The bridge will have
clear Roadway of sixty-eight feet above higf
water mark, and permit the passageof three
fourths of the shipping of the Thames anc
of the remaining one-fourth by lowering top
sails. The bridge will be six feet wide
than London bridge, and cost million AM
quarter sterling. Among arched bridges
the largest are the steel bridge over tn
Doura, with a span of five hundred an
twenty-five feet, and the steel bridge at 81
Louis with central span of five hundre
and twenty feet. This new tower bridg
will be the longest arched bridge in e,
istenee The suspension bridge of ste
wire between New York and Brooklyn has
span of sixteen hundred feet; and there
10 he one over the Firth Of Forth with tW
spans Of sixteen hundred feet each.
