The RurlIngton DisIrict.

The number of ministerial changes
expected to occur in the Burlington dis
trict this year is remarkably small. The
term of the Rev. j. W. Bennett, as pre-
siding elder, will expire with this con-
ference session. Among those mentioned
as his successor are Rev. G.. K. Hawley
and the Rev. f. Widmer of Rutland, al
though the latter is wanted at Pittsfield,
Mass. The Rev. j. e. Gooding, by ex-
piration Of time. will close a successful
pastorate at Winooski, as will NJ. M.
Curry of Pittsford. MonktOn reports
good progress under the labors of the
Rev. G. L. Sutton and he will probably
remain, as will the Rev. T. w. Gregory
of Williston, G. II. Robbins of North
Ferrisburgh, the Rev. Mr.. Smith of YER
gennGs, the Rev. DIR. Homer Eaton of
Burlington and the Rev. j. A. Heath of
Weybridge. Panton and Addison are to
be made one charge, which will necessi-
tate the change of one. The Rev. &. A.
Kerr of Manchester Center, and his
wife have offered themselves for mis-
sionary work in India, and will prob
ably be accepted. Not all of the charges
have given public expression to their
views on the district question, but the
majority of those who have so done are
in favor of the proposition to change
the number ofdistricts in the conference
from six to five. The year has been one
of progress in the district, q considerable
addition to the membership being re-
ported and the administration of the
Rev. j. w. Bennett as presiding elder
has won the esteem of the people as
well as the pastors ofthe district Bur-
lington Correspondence of the Budget.
The conference is in annual session at
Troy this week.

Under the significant head line: "A
bill to destroy the financial supremacy
of New York ;" the Mail & Express says
of proposal to give the Empire State
similar statute to tlrat enjoyed by Yer
mont, which we print as giving some
new points on the subject of taxation as
follows: care the people of New York
city aware that the Brundage Tax bill,
now pending in the Assembly at Albany
proposes to institute a Star Chamber IN
quiry into every mans affairs, by rcqulr,
ing him to swear to all his personal
property? Are they also aware that 1t
proposes to tax mortgages, and to make
a receipted tax bill, paid by the owner
of real estate, receipt for just so much
interest upon the mortgage on the prop.
erty? Are they also aware that the bill
would subject to taxation all the capital
now borrowed and used by our citizens,
aud that there are certain other provls
ions in the bill which would strike a
heavier blow to the financial and com
mercial interests of this city, aud conse-
uuently to the State and the nation at
large, than was inflicted upon similar
interests in the city of Boston by some
what similar, but less Objectionable bill,
which has become law in the State OF
Massachusetts,, and which has driven a
great many of the most substantial res
idents of former times from Boston to
seek an asylum in Rhode Island and
even in Florida, and has been the great.
est drawback to the development OF the
city of Boston? Without such an absurd
tax law Boston would today have 80 per
cent. more population and double the
trade which it now possesses.
No interest can be so highly benefited
by cheap and lentlful money as the
farm lands themselves. But this bill
will tighten the money market, drive
capital away and depreciate values of
farms"

EUROPE,s DUMPING GROUND,

1t is reported that there are so many
emigrants applying for passages to this
country from Great Britain that the
agents of steamships have declined to
enter into any further arrangements for
the conveyance Ofpersons here who wish
to escape their surroundings on the 9TH
er side the Atlantic.
This is important when considered in
connection with the tide of immigration
which has been beating on our shores
since 1880, and which has led thoughtful
persons to believe that this wholesale
transplaptipg of foreign population,
should be controlled in some way. 1t
has been proved that only the poorer
classes of foreigners are now coming to
our shores, Hungarians and Italians
are hired out by companies having their
headquarters in New York city. Italian
railway workers earn from $l.25 to
Sl,5O per day, and live on from 10 to l6
cents.
The state commissioner of Connecticut
observes that the Italians object is sim
pie. He wishes to stay here until he can
save two or three hundred dollars, and
then go home again. This sum, the
commissi oner states, amounts to COM
petence in his own country, and enables
him to pass the remainder of his days as
