In Connecticut there is a strong sen
timent in favor Of a state income tax to
increase the revenue without adding to
the burdens of taxation now borne by
real estate, manufactures and trade,
and a bill has been introduced in the
legislature for that purpose. 1t is I'm
deniably that in theory, the collection
of a tax on incomes is the most equita-
BILE method of producing public reve-
nue., but it has been found impracticable
in the United States, owing to the diff
iculty Of ascertaining incomes, save by
species of espionage that is distasteful
to the people. Until perjury is looked
upon differently than what it is at pres-
ent an income tax law cannot be gener.
ally executed with any degree of fair.

The locomotive buildings industry
has suffered with many others in the
past year. According to the American
Machinist during 1883 seven of the
largest builders turned out 1,346
locomotives, while the same builders
during the past year turned out only
901. There are only sixteen locomotive
building shops in this country, and in
these shops, as neal as can be learned
the total number of locomotives built
in 1884 was 1871, about 100 of which
were for expectation. The most trust
worthy figures show that there are
1927 locomotives of all kinds belong
ing to railroads in North America. AS
the life OF a locomotive is about twenty
five years, about 1,169 locomotives
must be constructed every year to
maintain the stock.

The Secretary of State, In a comrau-
~nication to Congress, seeks to repel the
criticism that the participation of repre-
sentatives of the United States in the
Congo conference at Berlin, conflicts
with the injunction of Washington in
h his farewell address, which had been
hitherto observed. He declares that
the government of the United States
only instructed delegates to attend the
conference on the understanding that
the conference was not TO have plenipo-
Tertiary functions, that its objects
were to be simply discussion and accord,
and that the United States would be
free to decline to accept the conclusions
Of the conference. The Secretary fur
ther declares that the United States
government has not, in taking part In
the conference, departed from its ira
ditional policy of avoiding entangling
alliances, and he subjoins some extracts
from a dispatch lately received from
Minister Kasson, which go to bear out
his own statements.

The distressful condition Of the I'M
employed workmen in Great Britain is
beginning to assume very serious pro-
portions, and Just now the propaganda
lists of Socialistic theories, particularly
ia relation to the land, are as active as
they can possibly be. There can be no
doubt whatever that the number Of the
unemployed is very large, and that
hundreds of thousands of mechanics
and laborers have been reduced by the
long spell of industrial depression to
virtual starvation. Most of the news

Is not by any means SO widespread as

 Nineteen gentlemen who own lots in the Evergreen cemetery attended the annual meeting last evening in room No. 15, Insur- ance building. The first business was the reading of the report of the directors by the president, James D. Dewell. The report calls attention to the work of filling in the lake that is now in progress and to cost from $s, ,O00 to s10,000, speaks of the interest talk en in the work of improving the lots and asks favorable action on the following reso- 1ution brought over from the last meeting:
 Resolved, That the board of directors are hereby authorized and instructed from time to time to remove all wooden fences and en- closures as they TOW stand in the old portion of the cemetery, making the same to con- form, to grade, to curb and returf the same, on the lawn plan; that plot known as Heart avenue and Path E to be executed and com pleted at the expense of the lot owners. Non-payment of such expense shall be charged against said lot the same as if it had been ordered by thessowner
 Benjamin R. English read the secretary's report. It invites persons who have had friends buried in the cemetery during the years 184S and 1867 to send the name, age and date of death. This information is much needed in order to make up the records. There were 383 burials last year, making the total 6, 106.

AN INCENDIARY CAUGHT.

He Burns Factory in Massaehu-
 setts-A Woman i'm the Scrape.
 A few weeks ago in the village of Roylston near Boston, Mass, factory belonging to J.
 H. Day was burned by an incendiary fire and soon after 8 Swede named Niles Benson, who
 had formerly been employed by the owner of the factory, disappeared. Suspicion rested
 upon him from the fact that he had had
 trouble with his former employer several
 months ago, which resulted ill the separation
 of Day and his wife owing it was said to Ben
 sons criminal intimacy with her. The
 woman went to Vermont to live, then disap-
 this oity. She found employment at Sar-
 geant & Co.'S under the name of Ida May
 Benson also came here and went to the Woolsey House to board.
 State Constable. George H. Phillips was put
 on the case and finally ''shadowed" Benson
 to this city. On his arrival here yesterday Detective Reilly was detailed to assist the constable and shortly after they found the man at the Woolsey House, where he was boarding. He was taken to the lookup, and last evening a Boston officer arrived and with the constable started for Roylsten with their man, leaving here at 1:1O this morning. Benson was well dressed, good looking and made no objections to returning with the officers. He says they cannot prove anything against him, but the facts are that his accomplice in the incen- diary has turned States evidence, and this fact Benson was not aware of when he con- sented to return without requisition from the Governor of Massachusetts. It is said that Benson is terror to the people in the vicinity where he formerly lived.

The Forests of Alaska.

Letter Ill San tranclSco ChronlcleI
 Alaska forests contain enough timber to supply the world. The forests of pine, spruce, fir and hemlock cover every island of the archipelago and goodly portion of the mainland. The trees are straight and tall and grow close together. The only sawmin at present in operation is at Douglas Island, and so far there has not been cord of tim Der cut for shipment: The trees, as rule, do not have large dimensions and will not always cut up into good sized boards. For fuel however, the wood is excellent and much of it is available for building purpos- es. There is little decorative wood, although the yellow pine is richly colored and might bs used to advantage in exterior work. Alaska spruce is an excellent variety and often measures five feet in diameter. It is consid- cred the best spruce in the world, and the supply is very abundant. In the interior of the country timber is of much heavier growth than near the coast and on the is- lands. Regarding the hemlock, there is a large supply and the bark compares favora- ply with that of the eastern trees used in tanning establishments. None have yet at tempted to compute the value of the Alaska forests It may be they will not be necessa- ry for years to come, but whenever wood grows scarce elsewhere, or whenever civ1liza- ticn fastens itself upon Alaska, the timber of the region will be found ready at hand and existing in rich profusion. Calculating only approximately the value of our posses sions today, the forests must be considered. Practically inexhaustible, they add most ma terially to the wealth of the territory.
