The reduction of taxation will be
prominent issue in the November cleo
tons, and the facts connected with it are
therefore of special importance. The
New York Worlds Washington cores.
pondent reviews the issue and the facts
very clearly. He states that the Federal
taxation in the fiscal year ended June
80, 1880, was $3.50, 100000. In the fol
lowing year it amounted to $500, 900, 600.
In the fiscal year just closed it amounted
to nearly $4O5, 900, 900, an increase in
two years of $75, 100000. In the mean
time, owing to the reduction of the prin-
cipal and interest of the public debt, the
ordinary expenditures of the government
have been rapidly diminishing. In 1880
the payments on account of interest
and premium on the public debt were
sos. 900, 900; in 1881. $s3, 100000, or
decrease of SIS, 900, 900, while the inter
est account of last year was $40, 000, 600,
usUar J car just Uegun the IN
terest account will be about $65, O0O, 900.
But for the fraudulent pension payments
the total ordinary expenditures for the
current fiscal year, including the sinking
fund, ought not to exceed $3.50, OO0, 0O0
If the taxation this year follows the rate
of increase that has obtained during the
last two years, there will be collected in
taxes this year about $3.50, 100000, or
nearly $50, 900 more than was col
lected last year, and last year there was
a surplus revenue over and above the or
binary expenditures of the government,
including interest on the public debt, of
more than $3.50. 100000.

The report of Assistant Postmaster
General Elmer shows that the expense Of
the star route service in the Pacific coast
region is nearly 80 per cent. less than
under the Brady contracts. This saw
inc which for the entire region amounts
10 more than 100000, is not effected
by reducing the service, for the report
shows that the reduction of cost is over
a. per cent. a mile. From this it would
appear that Brady and his fellow con-
spirators robbed the Post Office Depart
ment of about 100000 year, But,
even if not convicted, the "swag" will
do The robbers no good. A contempt
rary doubtless speaks the truth when it
saws: "Some of the money has gone in
expensive luxuries, some in political
campaigns, and some in purchasing the
silence of accomplices; and when the
heavy expense of the defense in these
star route trials is paid, very little of the
plunder will be left.

National Banks.

Comptroller Knox says that fifty-two
banks have renewed their charters under
the opinion of the Attorney General and the
recharter law. All OF those except three
organized under their old names. OF those
fiftY-two banks, only three have been Or
ganized nnder the extension act. The re-
naming forty-nine have taken advantage of
the opinion of the Attorney General that
they could continue their existence without
additional legislation. But one national
bank has thus far applied for reduction Of
the amount of its deposited bonds under the
new law. Mr.. Knox has not anticipated
any contraction of the currency on account
of this privilege given to banks Of reducing
the amount of their bonded deposits. Ma
tional banks have now about 800, 0O0, 900
less circulation than they are entitled to
under the law. Knox does not anticipate
any considerable increase In the circulation
of the banks under the operations of this
act. Mr.. Knox does not think the new
plates which will be used for the new notes
TO be issued under this law will necessarily
have the effect to prevent counterfeiting.
He is of the opinion that the most certain
wav to prevent loss from counterfeiting is
to call in the entire issue of any note that is
counterfeit as soon as the fact Is discovered,
and to issue no more notes OF the same de-
nomination to the same bank.

The opinion gains ground that the
Radical pretensions to revenue reform
will end as they began, in froth. At any
-ata there does not seem 70 be much
pfospect OF the passage OF the internal
tax reduction bill this session. Accord
ing to q Washington special, there is
great indispositiOn in the House to con-
slider it, even If it would be possible to
retain a quorum for that purpose, but
the quorum is vanishing 1t is stated at
the post Office of the House that all but
about $50 members had given orders to
have their mail sent elsewhere, and each
dav of the hot weather viii tend to still
further diminish the attendance. MIR.
Carlisle. of Kentucky, who has taken
some pains to inform himself as to the
situation, says it is settled that the bill
cannot pass the House now, even If it
should come from the Senate, and he
learns from Senators that there is but
slight probability that it viii be passed
bv that body at this session.

HON. A. q. STEPHENS.
His Letter Accepting the Democratic
GubernatOrial Nomination.

We present below the correspondence
between Hon. Alexander a. Stephens
and the committee appointed by the re-
cent Democratic State Convention, to
formally notify him of his
nomination to the Governorship
BY that body. 1t will be seen
that Mr.. Stephens, in conservative,
patriotic letter, breathing throughout the
sentiments of true Democracy, accepts
the nomination. If he makes the senti-
ments therein uttered-as he will doubt
less do-the guiding principle OF his
administration, the people of Georgia
need feel no apprehension that their in
terests have not been confded to safe
hands.

The Republican proposal to reduce in.
ternal revenue taxation to the extent of
about $4O,OOO,OOO, has probably gone
glimmering, as the Senate appears not
to be in the humor to sit during the dog
days to discuss a measure such as the
just needs of the people require. The
Radicals could have passed their caucus
measure had they chosen to accord
time for debate. But they chose rather
to take up Robeson's big naval steal, and
win no doubt help the rotund statesman
to complete his unfinished monitors on
his own terms. OF course they will en-
deavor TO make it appear that the Demo.
Gratis defeated the revenue reduction bill,
but they will find trouble in proving to
the people that il is necessary for them
to continue TO be taxed $3.50, 900 600 per
annum over and above all the just wants
of the government, especially as under
the new rules the majority can pass any
measure it sees fit.

Mr.. Tucker has thrown a regular fire
brand in the ranks of the Republicans.
When the bill relating to a rebate on i'm
ported materials for the construction Of
vessels was under discussion he actually
set the Radicals to filibustering against
their own rules to prevent the adoption
of his amendment to make the provi-
sions of the bill apply to yes
sells built for domestic as well
as foreign uses. The result of the mat
fer was that the Republicans shelved
the bill by recommitting it, and Mr..
Tucker has placed them in the position
of actually contending that shipbuilders
should be allowed a drawback on i'm
ported materials provided these mate
rails do not enter into the construction
of vessels owned in this country, but do
enter into the construction of vessels to
he sold abroad.

An Enormous Telescope.


Russian astronomers expect shortly to
be the happy possessors OF the largest
telescope in the world. The observatory
at Polkovo was founded in 1889 by the
Gar Nicholas, and for long time 1t
was furnished with the most pOwerfu I'll
instruments in existence. The Gar de-
sired that this institution should always
be supplied with the most perfect means
of taking observations, and that it
should never be allowed, to be inferior to
any OJner astronomical station IN the
world. Of late years the progress of
science has enabled England. France and
the United States to outstrip Russia, and
the refractors of the Western powers are
superior to the great glass at Polkovo,
which was at the time believed to be I'M
rivaled. The University of Virginia has
a telescope with an object glass 264
inches in diameter and focal length OF
SO feet. The Washington Observatory
has similar telescope, and with the be-
quest or gift of the California million
aire, Mr.. Lick, that State will have
still more powerful telescope in the
neighborhood of San Jose. Accordingly,
in 1878, the Russian Government decided
to realize the wish of the Gar Nicholas,
and to furnish the observatory at Pol
kovo with a new instrument, which
should be more powerful than any other
in existence. The astronomer Otto Strive
was authorized to draw upon the Treas
ury for whatever sum might be required,
and the work was intrusted to the cele
brated American firm of Alvin Clark, of
Cambridge, Mass, the makers of the
LARGE GLASSES at Chicago and Washing
ton. The grinding of the new lens of
Russia has now been proceeding for
twelve months, and it is expected that
by October it will be ready to be sub
mitted to the inspection of the Russian
astronomers. The length of the Polkovo
telescope will be forty five feet, and the
diameter of the object glass thirty inches.
It will be mounted upon a lawn to the
southwest of the principal building of
the observatory. 1t is estimated that
this new lens will practically bring the
moon within a distance of thirty.eight
leagues from the earth.

1t is stated that one of the main causes
of the dissatisfaction in Egypt is that
all Europeans in that country are exempt
from taxation. English, French and
Italian merchants own the finest cotton
and sugar plantations, and employ hun
dreds of hands, without paying one para
of tax to the State. This concession was
obtained by Napoleon in 1899, to run
for hundred years, and it has been re-
spected ever since by Governor and Pa
sha. No wonder the tax-oppressed ma
tives are inclined to rebel against this
condition of affairs.

Considering that they only get ten
dollars per day and expenses, it might
seem rather extravsgant for the alleged
Tariff Commissioners to summer at
Long Branch. 1t will probably be found,
however, that the term land expenses"
is very elastic, and has been stretched to
the extent of its capacity.

Attorney General Russell, OF New
York, has been held responsible for the
defeat of the bill in the Legislature of
that State comforting the right to vote on
women. In a recent letter Mr.. Russell
shoulders the responsibility on the
ground that the bill as drawn was uncon-
stitutional, and he so advised. But the
Attorney General sdroitly endeavors to
placate the female suffragists by declar-
ing that he is now and has been for years
ready to vote TO accord to women the
same right to exercise the elective
franchise and to hold Office as he himself
enjoys.
