BISMARCK AND TIRE SOCIALISTS
 Prince Bismarck has fought the Socialists
 of Germany long and we'll, but he has lately 1 shown signs of being willing to try and con-
 cillate them They have long been asking
 for the institution of 8 graded tax on incomes.
 their idea being that 8 man with large rev.
 enue ought to be compelled to pay g tax pFoportionate to his means. Bismarck has
 had bill introduced into the Prussian Diet
 which. if it becomes a law, will grant the Socialists great deal
 This bill provides that on all incomes of not less than three hundred dollars a tax of
 one per cent shall be levied, and the tax is gradually increased as the income rises, so 1 that on incomes of two thousand fl ve hundred dollars and over it amounts to three per cent Incomes of less than three hundred
 dollars are free of tax; and as the average German income in all occupations is about one-half the average income in the United States, the effect of this exception will be to exonerate the great mass of the population and to place the burden of the tax upon the shoulders of the few. This in itself is an important concession to the communicate spirit; but the bill goes even farther. It is es estimated that the new system will result in an annual deficit Of about five mil lion dollars, and in order to make Uni. good another bill has been framed and officially recommended which is of a still more Socialistie character. This supple mentary bill imposes an additional tax on all incomes arising from invested money. The man who draws interest or dividends to the amount of ono hundred and fifty dollars year will be required to pay tax thereon Of one-half of one per cent. and the rate is to rise gradually until on incomes of two thou sand five hundred dollars and upRard two per cent. will be pay able. This is in addition to the general income tax, SO that the man who derives two thousand five hundred year ly from investments will be compelled to pa, five per cent, or one hundred and twenty. five dollars. to the government The bill con tains 8 clause exempting widows, orphans and lnvalids from the payment of the in vestment tax on incomes of less than one thousand dollars.
 It Is quite probable that these bills. or something like them, will bs passed, thoueb they will of course, be vigorously fought by a large class Of Germans They seem to be very radical in their character. It will be interesting to watch their fate and their working if they become laws

telegraph would start team from the police office laden with officers for their arrest. With the aid of well extended network of telegraph stations the efficiency of our police would be at least three times greater than at present. In short, we would get the greatest possible amount of police protection at the smallest cost, simply because our police power could Dc concentrated and placed where 1t would do the most good"
 After making the foregoing remarks, was told that the Police commissioners were sl- ready considering the subject; my statements were therefore of no use except their tendency to call pablic notice to the matter. The Police department are entitled to great credit for starting this reform. It seems to me the most economical measure that has been re- gently adopted. Its chief defect is the fact that the telegraph boxes are not half numer- ous enough at present.

 Earth joys shas she has missed God soached her h her cradle days. And set her from the worlds rude ways
 Forevermore apart; The tiny sprays the children pail of WoodIane. white and beautiful,
 Are likess her sweet heart. Aad weli she loves the simple flower. Though to is reighboring woodland bower
 In depth of summers grass, o'erhung by summers fail-lcafed trees, Oserbiown by summers softesf breeze,
 Her feet may never pass. And those who love her, love 10 Ind A symbol of her stainless mad
 Tn this white woodland flower So frail and smGl. so far and pure, Yet fali of courage to endure
 The dark and stormy hour. Far from the highways dust and glare The VI oudruffe scents the forest a:r.
 And lights the tender gloom: Far from life's vhirl of galn and less. Beneath the shadow Of Fer cross
 She giads this quiet room. And to her come the gay of heart. That she may take with them her part
 Of sweet loves corn and wine, And 10 her come sad souls opp-esf. For God hath filled her gentle breast
 With synpafhy divine. Set far apart from common ioys, Yet smiling at earth's idle toys,
 She waiss her cread release. The Moodrasfe with the summer fades, And through iifess gathering txi!igkt shades
 Will come deaths whisper. Peace"
