Among the important unfinished business
which Secretary Blaine inherits from bis pre-
deeessor in the State Department Is propo-
sition for the establishments OF Court OF Ar

disputes of the South American Republics
The details of the plan have not been made
public, but the plan itself Is said to have re-
ceiyed the Endorsement OF o number OF the
countries immediately concerned In 1t. Inc

solely that of an impartial and disinterested
arbiter. but the influence and prestige we
should acquire could not fail TO be greatly
advantageous to our commerce.
Chinese cheap labor has been voted highly

The Court of Appeals decision in the suit of
the People against the Manhattan Beach Kali
way Company is of general interest because
it is the first construction by the highest Court
of the so-called Tweed Act of 1875. The
act was passed after the decision of the Court
of Appeals in the Tweed case. and was in
tended to remedy the defects in the law re-
yealed-or as some distinguished lawyers
prefer to have it, orisnated--by that iudg-
ment. The act gave the people, that is, the
State, o right OF. action against peculatlng and
uBfaithful municipal officers which bad before
resided only in the municipality. IL was at
tempted to apply the act in the present case
upon the ground that the town officers Of
GravpSend had cerruptly Transferred the Man
haitian Beach property TO the company IL"
an insufficient consideration. The Couh
of Appeals decides that an action to
recover real property is not within the
scope of the act that its object was to
aid the recovery If plundered municipal funds

property the possession Of which is wrongfully
withheld that the application is. in fact one
TO the State to protect town against mis-
carriage of the town meeting system, which
the State cannot do.

judgment.

The Tax Commission has made an import
ant recommendation upon the question or
allowing a deduction of debts from assess
ments on both real and personal property.
The recommendation is simply that things be
left as they are. The Commission admits that
the distinction made between the two kinds
Of property in this respect is abstractly unjust
and also that the vast increase IN personal
property has entirely removed one of the
reasons upon which the distinction was prob
ably based OF the outset-the idea that the
amount of personal property, as COM
pared with real, was 100 insignificant
10 be taken into consideration The other
reason, which the Commission assigns-the
difficulty of apportioning the amount Of eK-
emption among the various estates and inter-
csts which exist IN real property at the same
time-is. Of course. stll in full force. For the
rest, the Commissions argument is that a
change of the existing system would
meet with much opposition, and might be
thought 10 endinger the interests of the COM
merciaI classes in whom so large share oil
the prosperity of the State resides.
In conclusion. they suggest two changes in the
present taxation system, which may be regarded
as an indication of the extent 10 which the
suitable tax on corporate franchises and
business. aud of an Excise tax; and tie thor
ough execution of the whole system, so that
the taxes which are levied by law shall be
levied IN fact. The tone OF these recommen-
dations il conservative, add shows that no
interest need fear hasty or extrIyagant action.

An exchange aptly remarks This is the
time OF the year when the oily-tongued
sharper gets around among farmers, who
never take paper, and succeeds in selling
them lot of trash, at exorbitant prices,
under high-soundiDg names. When the
crop is ready for the reaper the smart
farmer, who knows enough without reading
the papers, curses the lying agent. So the
world moves, and, probably, always will.

wARyING against the pouring of coal oil
from can on live Goals comes from Pitts
burg in the form 5f dispatch dated on the
y7;h of May. The dispatch says: Yester-
day afternoon disastrous fire occurred on
Twelfth street, South Side, resulting not
bnly in loss of property but in the death of
the child of Peter Egler and the mortal
burning of his wife. She attempted to
start fire with kerosene. The can explod-
ed, scattering the burning over her and the
child in her arms Assistance was rendered
promptly. but not until the woman had been
burned in a most horrible manner. In few
moments after the explosion the fra.Iie row
of houses where Egler lived was in flames.
While the tiremen were working about the
briyy they discovered the remains Of the
child which the mother had in her arms
at the time of the explosion. 1t was
burned to a crisp and presented hor-
rible appearance. A younger child was
rescued from the parlor, and the father
thought the other one was safe. Mr.. Egler
was severely burned about the hands and
feet in his effort to save his property. II
Is probable that the woman will die before
many hours. The baby inhaled fame also
and is likely to die. Mr.. Egler; when he
learned the horrible results, became insane
hpd is now under close watch.
About the same time Maggie Hagen,
servant in a family on Seventeenth street,
kindled fire with kerosene. The can ex'
nloded and her clothing was saturated VIII
oil. She was burned to death before she
could get out of the house.

Difficult English Language.


People THAT are unac'uainted With the
English language find great difficulty in
learning it. There are so many words that
are sounded alike and mean different things
that foreigners particularly, unless they are
English people, experience untold difficulty
in their efforts to comprehend the language
The following article is iiIi<tratiye OF the
poiIt;
A pretty deer is dear to me,
A hare with downy hair;
love hart with all my heart,
But barely bear a bear.
Ills plain that no one takes 4 plane
To have a pair of pairs;
\ rake, though, often takes rake
To tear away tie tares.
All rays raise thyme, time RACES all
And, through the whole, hole wears.
A writ, in writing right may wright
IL wright and still be wrong
For write and .rite' are hei;ter right
And don't to v-T;fe belong.
Beer often 5rings a bier to man,
Coughing a coffin brings,
And too much ale will make US all,
As well as other thing.
The rcrson lies who says he lies
When he is but reclining;
And, when consumpiive folks decline,
They all decline declining.
A quail don't quail before a Storm
A bough will bow before it;
We cannot reir tie rain q sll--
No earthly powers reign DER 1t.

THERE lives in the land of japan
A very lugubrious man,
Who sketches with toll,
In water and oil
Strange scenes fof the japanese fan.
He paints with Chinaman's queue,
And uses vermillion and blue;
He delights in large herds
-, Or long-legged birds,
Which he makes with their bodies askew
lie strives with the noble intent
To picture each current event;
He often spends hours
Over intricate flowers,
And recei' es just the eighth of a cent.
