TAX REFORM I'm BOSTON.

While the tax ideas of the New York
apostle of economic reform are being
presented, it may be noted that even in
conservative Massachusetts somewhat
similar theories are being advanced and
attentively considered in high quarters.
President LANE, of the Boston Mer-
chants association, at a recent banquet,
urged radical changes in the mode of
taxation, and his suggestions are being
favorably discussed by most of the Bos
ton papers, and will be pressed before
the legislature. The main point with
Mr.. LANE was that the attempt to tax
personal property has proved SO near
futile that it should be abandoned, and
all local taxation concentrated on real
estate. The speaker is represented as
very large holder of real estate, so
that merely selfish considerations did
not prompt him. 1t is urged that the
change will increase the opportunities
for the employment of labor, and at the
same time relieve capital of Yexatious
and impracticable taxes, 1t is quite
possible that Massachusetts may lead
off in this new direction.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The work on the Panama canal seems

the scheme was wrecked and everybody
related to it had come to grief.

state, may require the failure and ADAM
donment of the Panama work; but other
wise there may be general Indifference,
OF even satisfaction, as regards the sue
cess of the enterprise. Itwould be use
full to the commerce of the country,
possibly at some expense TO continental
rail lines. If the French people can
complete it, there can be no objection
raised. 1t is understood that in the
contract of the company with the Colon
bian government it was provided that
no transfer whatever of rights and priv
ileges could take place; so that until
there is violation of this agreement and
protest from that state, there need be
no making faces at France over the
assertion of the traditional policy. 1t is
not best to work the buncombe business
i'm this connection.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The resignation of
Capt. Lord William Cecil. son of Lord
Salisbury, from the Grenadier Guards.
has caused a great stir in military cir
cIes. No reason for the resignation
was given to the public, but it is as
serted that his withdrawal was due to
fist-fght with his lordship recently had
with brother officer at the Knights
bridge barracks. From the reports in
circulation, it is gathered that Lord
Cecil got very much the worst of the
encounter, and besides receiving two
blackened eyes, sustained other injuries
at the hands of his antagonist which will
necessitate his retirement from public
view for some time. 1t is understood
that some of the Radical members of
the house of commons have resolved to
question the secretary for war concern
ing the affair when parliament meets.
Right on the heels of this story comes
the report of another fight, between
major and private, at Portsmouth, in
which the. private was badly beaten.
The major, it is stated, overheard the
private during. parade express to one of
his comrades his burning desire to
punch the officers head. After parade
the major sent for the private and
afforded him an opportunity to crafty
his desire, but the subaltern'S physical
strength and pugilistic skill were not
equal to the measure of his ambition,
and he is now quartered in the hospital.

BALLOT pURIFIcATIoN.

Congressman MILLS, of tariff bill
fame. says that he believes in the eX-
posture of election fraud and corruption
in all its manifold phases until BRIDE
giving and bribe-taking shall become
odiOuS in the estimation of all decent
men of both parties, and until men who
buy votes and men who sell them shall
be abhorred by every respectable citl-
zen. Mr.. MILLS thinks that more can
be secured III this direction by news
paper agitation than by the enactment
of laws. While the newspapers appre-
ciate the compliment to them implied
in Mr.. Mills suggestion. we are still OF
the opinion that the laws and their
enforcement must be mainly re-
lied upon for ballot publication.
The newspapers are always ready to aid
in any good work, and have Invariably
proved valuable allies to the authorities
in ferreting out wrOngdolng. But the
preparation of election frauds is one of
the crimes that can not be stamped out
unless we have proper laws, with a pub
lie sentiment to enforce them. The leg
islature of this state has now bill be-
fore it embracing the Australian cleo
ton system, which is conceded to be
the most successful experiment that has
yet been tried in the way OF securing
ballot publication. AS the platforms of
both political parties in this state de-
clared in favor of the Australian system,
we take it for granted that this, or a
similar bill, will be passed during the
present session. When that is done, the
newspapers can be relied ON to do their
share in accomplishing the results de-
signed by the law.

His soldiers blessed our black men for the
kindness in coming SO far to show them the

out OF the country, but asked them to stay
quiet few months, that l might return and
fetch the other men and goods left at Yam

give me strength to finish my work. May
their prayers be heard. And, now, my friend,
what are you going to do? We have gone the

CLIMATIC CHANGES.

Scientists do not take much stock in
the theory that the winters of this country
have been growing milder. The general
observation of ordinary minds that
have no theories leads to that eonclu-
sion, however. 1t is more favorable
time for noting this drift of tempera-
ture and sentiment than it was about
year ago; but the older people gener-
ally recall much colder average of
winters. On the other side of the
ocean the testimony seems to be quite
general that the winters are colder than
they used to be. No theory accompa-

once undertook to show that the gulf
stream was gradually changing its course

The American Minister Lapses
Into Poesy at Banquet.
LONDON, Jan. 16.-Mr. Phelps. the
United States minister, was the chief
guest at banquet given by the Fish
Mongers' company this evening. Mr..
Phelps, in speech, said that the only
complaint he had to bring against this
country was that the people had made it
more difficult for him to say goodbye to
them than to perform any duty that he
had had to do since he came. He hoped
often to have the pleasure of seeing in
one country. if not in another, his
numerous English friends. Therefore,
in saying farewell, he would adopt the
poets sentiments, ''Say not goodnight,
but in some happier day bid me good
morning."

Gen. Stewart, Sir Francis de WintOn

BATTENBERG's DREAM.

Princess Beatrice'S BrOther-in-
Law Has His Eye on the Bull
garian Throne.
Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 16.-The reason alleged
for the visit of Prince Alexander of
Battenberg to Emperor Francis Joseph
at Vienna tomorrow is his desire to
return to the emperor the Austrian
decorations worn by his late father,
Prince Alexander of Hesse, in accord
anoe with the wishes Of the deceased.
The belief is quite general, however,
that the delivery of the decorations is
merely an excuse to obtain an inter-
view with Francis Joseph and consult
with him on Bulgarian affairs, Alex
ander not having yet awakened from
his dream of returning to Sofia.
