TO the EdftOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: l enclose a copy of my answer to MIR. Dayen-
ports letter, printed in to-day's TRIBUNE. Very
sincerely, ALFRED c. CHAPLIN.
No. lis Broadpoay Ee,c- York, Oct. 30.
Ihave read Mr. Dayenports letter. Ny proposed
question for Mr.. Davenport to answer was
Whether the increase in taxation is not more than
ports reserve policyp
The tax nate Of 1888 is 8.25 mills making 80, ,oo .,
The tax rate Of 1889 was 2l5 mills max
Ing the aggregate taxes..'.-.......-- o9zo'V-- 20
The increase in taxation s........... $2.514.s14 OF
These arc Mr. Davenports figures. They are not
disputed.
The question which proposed may, therefore, be
re-stated rs follows: " DO not free canals ana MS
lNlr. Dayenports 81 reserve policy account lor more
than $2,51I,s1 % of the taxes Of 1887 -,
If Ar. Davenport really desires to answer TINS
question he can readily do 50 by stating, first how
much of the taxation of 1888 IS accounted Tor by
free canals, and second. how much Of that taxation
is accounted for by his DIR. Dayenp0rtsl reserve
policy. DO these two amounts, added together,
equal exceed OF fall below the sum of y 81 ,ol4 OF
! said that these two amounts wonld exceed
S25l4,Nll o.; repeat my assertion more IN detail
Mr.. DaycupOrtS reserve policy compelled the levy
ing of SlOOO.OOO more by taxation than Would
otherwise have been necessary; the difference be-
tween tho taxation chargcable 10 canals IN 1883
and the amount 40 chargeablc IN lSS2 l. over
~ 10000. These two sums added together exceed
the increase In taxation lie, 25l4,Sl4 OF by
more than S225, 900. Mr.. Dayenports letter does
not deny this.
Instead Of making such denial he eulogizes what
he calls tho Republican policy OF 1882. The Leg
isature of 1852, like that of 1888. Democratic
in both branches, and if Mr.. Davenport wishes TO
praise that body certainly cannot complain III,
however he wishes TO answer my proposed question,
or to verify the figures have just given, refer him
70 the memoranda from his Office which were sub
mitted to the Legislative Committee Of 1883, upon
which memoranda my statements are based.
refer him further 10 chapter 373 Of the Laws OF
1883 lcyying q tax Of 73-lOO Of a mill for canal
purposes, and also 10 chapter ioJ of the Laws OF
1883 cyying tax of $40 of mill for other canal
purposes. and also to chapter All of the Laws OF
1853 lcvying still another tax Of $4,000 of mill
for canal purposes making IN all levy Of l mil

ETY.. To Teducs a two-volume romance
to paragraph, bcan only say that the
French professor fell in love with Miss
Bigelow, and she vowed she would
rather die and take her chances in the
other world than to live without him.
Her parents opposed and threatened,
and there were terrible times in the
social circles of New York and Staten
Island. Finally the lovers settled the
difficulty by getting married. Miss
Bigelow was disinherited. Two lovely
cherubs brother and sister-were the
result of the marriage, and for once
love ran smoothly after marriage. Moth
ing, however, is certain in this Elusive
life; both father and mother fell i'll and
died very suddenly. The two little or
phans were taken to Boston and edueat-
ed by wealthy relations of the family.
The girl grew up to independence and
struck out for herself. She became
teacher, and for several years was Pro-
lessor of elocution in Vassar College.
Her brother also disliked to be burden
to his relatives, and when the war broke
out he enlisted in the artillery service
and went away to fight for glory and
twenty-dollars month. Not getting
killed he was able to return and
participate in the ways of peace.
In due time he found himself at the head
Of big manufacturing business in the
enterprising City of Chicago. He was
also engaged to an accomplished young
lady, and Cupid sharpened his arrows
at her door, Prosperity seemed to have
a mortgage on their future, and all was

have long been interested in the ca
reet of this young man. First he was
an engineer; then a journalist; then a
miner in the lofty mountains in the San
Juan country; then an expert in Mexico
for Wall street syndicate, and at last
he found responsible position in a
wealthy powder company. He was
very successful, and he went out to SUI
perintend the blasting of some iron
mines in Pennsylvania. To show the
superiority of his own powder over dy-
Mantle he used both compounds. The
dynamite exploded prematurely, and
when we stood by his coffin in Column
bus avenue, Boston, it seemed pitiful
that among all the people in this great
world life so young and full of prom
Use should be snuffed out like candle.

was no fire in the coach, nor would
there have been need of any if the win
dows could have been kept down. A

ly peeled off his fianhels and who felt
as cold as sheared lamb, succeeded
after awhile in getting all the windows
down but one. That was on the right

and wrapped them up, and at the next
station he dropped off the car and took
the one ahead. Ten minutes afterstart-

the fat man was observed to bob off his
seat and dig his eyes and jump up and
down as if he had hornets in his boot
legs. Indeed, he swore-swore black
and blue and green. He swore he'd sue
the company, and he swore he'd kill the
