TAKING TITLES.

A French Deputy has introduced bill TO
raise a revenue by taxing titles. He would
arrange it On an increasing scale, beginning
with low rate on those who write the aristo-
cratic " dc" before their names; smart adj
vance for barons; still higher for counts; 80
per cent. higher for dukes, and at positively
luxurious rates for marquises and princes. He
urges that such tax would not only be easily
and honestly collected, and bring In much
revenue, but, for wonder, it would be welcom-
ed by many Of the taxed, as it would diminish
the number Of those who claim titles without
warrant. Why has not this idea occurred to
some Of our own revenue reformers2 It is
perfectly feasible in this country, and would
produce an immense revenue, even if the rates
were made very low. Roughly stated, there
are 81, 100000 males in this country. of whom,
say, one in FIVE, have some title. They are di-
Vided in about this proportion:

The bill introduced by Representative
Hansbrough On. D. to disarm all the In
dams and punish severely any one selling
arms and ammunition to them should pass.
1t is grave evil that the best quality of
arms and ammunition should be found
in abundance among these savages, who
are liable at any day to use them upon
the troops and settlers. No other Nation in
the world permits such armament of
the wild and partially wild people in
its territories. The British only allow
the Indians in Canada to have in their pos
session Old-fashioned muzzle-lOading guns,
which are quite good enough for hunting,
but cannot cope with the breechloaders put
in the hands Of the troops. Our Indians, on
the other hand, have better guns, revolyers
and ammunition than are issued to our
soldiers, and quite as many of them. This
condition Of things should be stopt at once.

and telegraphs is bound to come in time.
1t seems to be the logical result, not only of
our special form of civilization, but of that
of every other progressive Nation. Every
Government must have the most absolute
control of the highways of its people and
their means of communicating intelligence.
Anything short of this is an uncomfortable alb
rogatiOn of its prerOgative of supreme soyer-
eighty. The more indispensable that rail-
roads and telegraphs become in the daily
lives of the people, the stronger will be the
demand for Government control of them.
How this will be brought about it is difficult
to say. The probability, however, is that
the Government will go on from the start
ing point of the Interstate Commerce act,
extending its supervision of them until at
last it acquires complete ownership.
