WASHINGTON MATTERS.

were at their posts of duty, and admit is
tration OF affairs is moving on in syst m
attic order once more.
AN OFFICIAL FORECAST.
Now that the centennial furore is over,
the first important move is expected to be
in the internal revenue bureau. There
have been, some reasons why it has not
been the desire of the secretary of the
treasury to enter upon the work of max
ing new appointments in the internal
revenue service until after May l. One
of the reasons is that May is the period
for the sale of certain classes of stamps
and in q certain sense is q sort Of internal
revenue day. They who are seekingin
revenue appointments hold to the theory
that the four year rule as to service is not
to apply to the internal revenue collectors.
They base the view upon the fact that in
ternal revenue collectors, unlike collectors
of customs, have no fixed terms to their
offices, but are removable at will. 1t is
the expectation that there will be
A GENERAL CHANGE
in the offices of internal revenue col
lectors throughout the country within
few weeks. If the applicants are deceived
in this belief they will be greatly disap-
pointed. They have prepared for very
active campaign Immediately upon the re-
turn OF Sec. Window.
As to consular appointments, the ap-
plicants have lost hope. There does not
seem to be disposition to proceed rapid
ly, and the illness of Mr.. Blaine has given
them additional cause for regret.

Flies and Wolves

When visiting a friend last summer
he called my attention tie. a curious
plan for preventing the plague of flies
in his house. The upper sash of one
of the windows in his sitting-room be-
ing open for ventilation, there was sus-
pended outside a piece of common
fishing-net. My friend told nae that
nota fly would venture to pass through
it. He has watched for an hour at a
time and seer warns fly to within a
few inches of the net, and then, after
buzzing about fora little, depart. He
told me the flies would pass through
the net if there was a thorough light
that is, another window in the oppo-
site wall. Though the day was very
warm, 1 did not see a single fly in the
room during my visit, though else
where in the town they were to be seen
in abundance. I suppose they i'm
agine the net to be a SPIDERS web, or
some other trap intended for their
destruction.
My friend mentioned the curious
fact that in Russia nc wolves will pass
under telegraph wires, and that the
government are utilizing this valuable
discovery and already clearinD dis
tricts of the country from these brutes.

A Missing Ring.

Whatever has become of the hand
kerchief ring? Of course you remem-
Der them when they we're all the go.
There was a plain gold ring, made to
fit the finger; then a fine gold chain,
and at the end a larger and more fancy
ring with an opening in it like a brace
let, and one or two delicate and sharp
spikes to hold the handkerchief.
Years ago no lady's toilet was complete
without a handkerchief ring-now one
is ever seen. In the good old days o.
the dollar stores no list of wedding
presents was complete without a hand
kerchief ring for the bride. Whatever
became of them? Can any n tell?-

with their consent you invest their property
as well as you can, and it is. all lost, you are
not to blame, you did the best you could;
but do not come into the delusion which has
ruined so many men, OF thinking because a
thing is in their possession, therefore it is
theirs. You have a solemn trust that God
has given you. In this vast assemblage
there may be some who have misappropriat-
ed trust funds. Put them back, or, if you
lave so hopelessly involved them shat you
cannot put them back, confess the
whole thing to those whom you have
wronged and you will sleep better
nights, and you will have the better chance
| for your soul. What a sad thing it would
be if, after you are dead, your administra-
tor should find out from the account books,
| or from the lack of vouchers, that you were
not only bankrupt in estate, but that
you lost your soul. If all the trust funds
that have been misappropriated should
suddenly fly to their owners, and all the
property that has been purloined should
suddenly go back to its owners, it would
crash into ruin every city in America.
A clustering young man arrived at a hotel
in the west and he saw a man on the side
walk, and in a rough way, as no man has a
right to address a laborer, said to him,
carried the trunk up stairs and came down,
and then the young man gave him q quarter
of a dollar which was marked and instead
of being twenty-five cents it was worth
only twenty cents. Then the young man
gave his card to the laborer and said, "You
take this up to Governor Grimes; l want to
see him" "Ah," said the laborer, 81 am
Governor Grimes.' "Oh," said the young
man, ..you-I-excuse me-" Then the
governor said: 81 was much impressed by
the letter you wrote me asking for a certain

exhibition was entertained by the president
of that exhibition at banquet, at which
were present the German commissioner and
large number of prominent people of the
colonies. The American commissioner, in
his speech, called attention to the import
ance of the Samoan Islands to the commerce
OF the colonies and of the United States.
Right in the track of that commerce" he
said, 'lie certain groups of islands of great
interest to both countries. America is now
striving to preserve the autonomy OF those
Islands, but Australia is silent still and
silent ALL 1t would be deplorable If. in the
give-and- take game now being played by Eu-
ropean statesmen, the independence of those
interesting islands should be sacrificed 1.-THE
German commissioner was offended, and at
once left the hall. But the press and people
of Australia took the question up, and the
result was that the Federal Council, body
that speaks for all the Australian colonies,
adopted an address to the Queen, calling up
on her to aid in preserving the independence
OF Samoa. 1t Is said, though of course the
government of England is not yet prepared
to furnish the proofs Of it,that from that mo-
meDt the course of England was changed.
This seems very probable. The immense
colonies of Australia are held to England, as
she very well knows, only by the bonds of
good will. When she declines to defend
them they will look to themselves for de-
fence, as they are already doing to small
extent; and when they are fully able to de-
fend themselves they will be able to take
care of Themselves in other rasnects No in
fluence ought to be more posent with Eng
land than the voice of her great colonies in
the South Seas.

forward the outline of q somewhat novel
scheme which he believes Is destined to
have an important bearing on the higher
education of the future The scheme is
as follows: Let the parent when his son
Is three years of age begin series of yearly
payments to some good insurance company
which agrees In consideration of annual
payments of stipulated amount to pay this
son, beginning with his eighteenth year, the
sum OF $500 per annum for the next four
years. This would pay his way through
college and furnish him the advantages of a
liberal education which without some such
plan his father might never have felt able to
give him. The task of preparing the vital
statistics for this plan Of insurance is in
charge Of Professor Winfield s. Chaplin OF

formerly instructor in the State College al

Some Of the Pennsylvania politicians are
not little astonished at the defeat of the
suffrage amendment by the voters of Penn
sylvania at the recent election. A small tax
is required as prerequisite to the right of
suffrage in Pennsylvania. and the vote last
week shows that it will be required for years
to come. Philadelphia of course went heav-
lily for the amendment, but the outside coun-
ties went almost, If not quite, unanimously
against it. This surprised the Philadel-
phians greatly, and general exclamation
seems to have been: What are the hay
seeders thinking OFF" The Philadelphia
North American answers this question.
Every selfrespecting hayseeder." it says,
has an occupation, upon which moderate
tax is levied according to grade. The man
who has neither land nor cattle, but who
owns an axe, scythe, a rake, hoe and per-
haps pick. is rather proud of being voted
above cipher, and seldom fails to have
tax receipt in his wallet. They believe In
making everybody pay something for the
support of the government" A poll tax is
an important part Of the taxation system in
Maine, but is unknown In Pennsylvania.
The suffrage tax in ameasure takes its place;
but the suffrage tax, from its nature, plays
prominent part in election bribery, tax re-
ceipts being peddled ON election days in the
large cities to such an extent as to create
public scandal. But the country voters of
Pennsylvania did not look at this feature of
system. and saw in it only measure where
by every man is brought up to a certain sup-
port of the government.

relative to the taxation of evidences of debt.
Heretofore they have been subject to local
taxation, as they are in Maine, though, as
In Maine, the great majority of them proba-
bly, escaped the assessors scrutiny. Under
the new law the owner of all sorts of evil
dences of debt-such as notes, bonds &c.

any twinges Of conscience, provided he takes
them to the State Treasurer and pays upon
them State tax Of two mills. The tax COM

unjust. 1t prevails, however, in almost, all
the States. Connecticut has corrected in
large degree this injustice. The tax comms-
sion created by our last legislature should
look into this subject and recommend
change in our present law. If A lends B
$4,000 to build house with, under the exist
ing system of taxation A is taxed for this
$4,000 which he has loaned B, and is taxed
for the house which this $1,000 has built.
Thus this $4,000 is doubly taxed. The injus.
tice of such a system has long been admitted.
but no remedy has been attempted In this
