A question has arisen between the Eng
lish and French governments relative to
the right of fishing on and round the
Ecrehow rocks. situated halfway between
Jersey and the French coast. They have
been regarded as a-dependency of Jersey
for 600 years. and are only valuable for
the purposes of fishing aud gathering sea-
weed. The French commander asserts
the neutrality of the rocks and right by
the French to fish there. which right was
denied by the Fishery Convention of 1889.
The Jersey authorities are indignant and
have RENTED the case to the home gov
ernment.

These extras, Hill says, were supplied I'M
der orders from the Office of the architect or
superintendent of construction while the
work was in progress. Hill says that copies
of all the letters, the authorization referred
to in the extra bill. have been furnished the
committee and will be found to have been
signed by A. b. Mullett, c. T.. Hurburd or
W. G SteinmitZ. Press copies of these let
tiers are upon the letter books of the super
vising architects office. Hill concludes with
a denial of all the charges of fraud or colu-
sion with Bartlett, Robbins & Co., and asks
judgment of the committee whether he shall
make further answer to the same.
The answer of Bartlett, Robbins & Co.
corresponds with that of Mr.. Hill in regard
to rates and circumstances under which the
contract under discussion was awarded to
them and its execution, the personnel of the
supervising architects Office, &C., and makes
the same denial of sinister act of purpose.
After reading these answers, which occu-
pied about thirty minutes, Coleman made
statement of facts which the prosecution ex-
pect to prove in the Wilbur case. In 1873.
IA and rs, !. B. Wilbur was a sub-contrac-
tor under Bartlett. Robbins & Co. for furn-
ishing illuminated thing. In 1876 and ~
Wilbur presented his claim for extra ma
terials furnished. amounting to between
$40, 900 and $4,000. Hill said this is an old
claim and we ought to have something for
getting it through. Hill then called ia Mr..
Cannon. whose name has already been men
toned here. and he Cannon said ten per
cent ought to be paid by Wilbur for getting
it through. and that it could be gotten through
if that amount were paid. Wilbur said moth
ing but related the circumstance to his coun-
sci. Afterwards learning that Cannon was
an employee of the architects Office and
member of firm who were dealing in build
ing materials an this city and holding con-
tracts under the government, Mr.. Wilbur
went to Mr.. Hill and protesting against it,
asked for his (Gannon's) removal. Finally
when the matter YVES brought to the attention
of the secretary of the treasury Cannon was
removed. and from that day Hill has pursued
Wilbur and has used every effort to defeat
as honest claim as any man ever held
against the government.
Gen. Tyler, whose name was mentioned
yesterday in connection with the offer of
$500 to Manly, Cooper & Co., being pres
ent, was at this point permitted to make q
statement to the committee.
The counsel for the prosecution claimed
the right to cross examine, which was accord

If there was ever time in the history
of the internal revenue service when men
of known honesty. experience and ability
were required as special agents. it is at
present. Especially is experience and
familiarity with the service now impor-
tant. Thousands of gallons of whisky
are being exported monthly to avoid the
present payment of the internal revenue
tax. Opportunities for fraud are greater
than common, and in districts where green
men are assigned as agents the opportu-
mites for fraud are increased. The re-
duction of the tobacco tax and the presen-
taiion of claims for rebate, aggregating
thousands of dollars. require more than
ordinary zeal and the exercise of all the
knowledge that experience can give the
special agents to see that the government
is not cheated.

Taxation Of. Government Bonds

4OA8eAOn OA- Wv CE nAAACnS OOhsaS
Volume ninety of the New York Re-
ports just issued. contains an opinion of
the Court Of Appeals on an interesting and
important point. touching the taxation of
United States Government bonds. 1t is
well known that these securities are ex-
empt from local taxation. The question
before the Court OF Appeals was whether
the premium on them can be taxed.
The assessors in New York city had as
sessed the trustees of an estate at six hun
dred thousand dollars for personal prop
erty. When it appeared that the property
consisted Of government bonds. the assess
ment was reduced foseventy-two thousand
dollars. which was the excess Of the mar
ket over the par value Of the bonds. The
special term Of the New York Supreme
Court sustained the assessment forthis re-
duced amount. holding that the premium
on the bonds was not exempt from taxa
ton. This decision was affirmed by the
General Term, but both Of the lower
courts are overruled by the Court Of APP
peals, which holds that the market value
of the bonds is no more subject to taxation
than their par value. The Court says:
There is nothing in the statutes which con-
fines the exemption from taxation TO the par
value Of the bonds, and Fbere is nothing in
the reason on which such exemption is based,
which should 40 confne it, The fact that
government bonds are above par is a mere
incident. They may in the market be worth
more or less than par and they NAV fluctuate
from week 10 week and month TO month, de-
pending upon the conditions Of trade, com
merce, finances and other matters. The fact
that they are above par may be due TO the
plethora and cheapness of money, and not to
any actual increase in value as compared
with any fixed standard. II the
premiums upon such bonds over which the
holder has no control. which he can neither
create nor destroy, aud which do not really
indicate any enhanced value of the bonds, can
be taxed, the policy Of the Law as 10 the ex-
emption Of government securities from taxa
ton would be greatly violated. The premium
is part Of the entire value of the bond, and
when that is taxed, the bond IN taxed; or,
what is equally condemned, the value or part
of the value of the bond is taxed. A concep-
ton Of the premium upon a bond dis
tinct entity for the purpose of taxation is too
transcendental and metaphysical for common
comprehension and judicial cognizance.

American Newspapers in
1888.

From the new edition of Messrs. Geo,
r. Rowell & Co. 8 American Newspaper
directory, which is now in press, it ap-
pears that the newspapers and periodi-
Gals OF all kinds issued in the United
States and Territories now reach the
imposing total of IL 1876. This is an in
crease OF $50 in twelve months. TAX
ing the States one by one, the news
paper growth in some is very consider
able. The present total in New York
state, for instance, is 1,399-a gain of
~ IN the past year. The increase in
pennsylvania is 4S, the existing num-
Der being 943. Nebraska's total grew
from TO to 201, and Illinois from 800
to 9O4. A year ago Massachusetts, had
42O papers; now the number is 438. In
Texas the new papers outnumbered the
suspensions by :, and Ohio now has 1888
papers instead of 692. The most re-
markable change has occurred in the
Territories, in which the daily papers
have grown from 43 to So, and the
weeklies from 1859 to 243-Dakota being
the ichief area of activity. The num-
Der OF monthlies throughout the country
grew from 976 to 1904, while the dailies
leaped from 996 to 1902. The figures
given above are exclusive of Canada,
which possesses total of 606. 1t is in
'teresting to note that the newly-settled
regions of the Canadian Northwest are
productive of newspapers as well as of
wheat, for the number of journals
issued in Manitoba was nearly doubled
during the year.

President Arthur.

President Arthur is setting a bad
precedent which will surely cause
revolution-a precedent which is an
entering wedge, which will result in
the separation of a large number of
intelligent and right thinking colored
men from the Republican party.
Men who jeopardized their safety
and through death marched to the
polls and voted for Arthur, are be-
ginning to inquire, Shall we cleave to
the grand old party if it refuses to
cleave to usg The lamented Garfield
during his short term of office did
appoint to prominent and respecta-
bic positions such men as Bruce.
Douglass, Langston, and quite mum
Der of colOred men as postmasters
and collectors of internal revenue in
the South. But the immaculate Ar
thur has seen fit not only to remove
from Office some of those few white
Republicans who stood the storm
while the waves were raging, but
even farther, his impious and relent-
less audacity has reached such an
extent that he has attempted to re-
move prominent colored men in the
South, as for instance the collectors
of internal revenue of Savannah, Ca,
and Montgomery. Ala. Loyalty does
not consist of serfdom. Look in our
own State, and there is not colored
man who holds decent Federal ap-
pointment. And now they appeal to
US to stand by the now prostItuted
grand old party. Reformation should
be the watchword. And unless a re-
formation is speedily wrought the
Democracy will reign supreme.
The negroes are not so tenaciously
welded to the Republican party that
they will not resent foul and unfair
dealing; and when the Democracy of
the South become as liberal as the
Democracy Of the North and West.
