THE UNEARNED INCREmENT.

During the last few years we have heard
great deal about "the unearned incre-
ment" and the wrong and injustice of allow
ing any body to have the benefit of what
should belong to everybody. It has been
taken for granted that "the unesrned incfe-
ment" was very rich and comfortable af-
fair. But facts are facts. A correspondent
having started the interesting query how
much the unearned increment amounts to In
a city like New York, the Real Estate Rec
ord calculates that from 1881 to 1888 the
assessed value of real estate in the city of
New York increased from $s76, 600, 900 to
s., 400, ,000, 900, or in round figures $424,-
600, 900, sum which, taking the assessed
value to represent two-thirds of the true
value, is $141, 100000 too small. On a
two-thirds basis the actual increase in these
nine years was $685., ,00O,00 But this in
creaee is not in the value of land
alone. During the same time probably
$400, 900, 900 was spent in building and re-
pairing Improvements. This leaves $685.
100000 for the increase in value of land
throughout the entire city. But the loss by
interest and taxes on idle and vacant real
estate in the same period was certainly much
more than that The owner of vacant lo'
worth SO, 900 in 1881 had in 1889 lost money
| upon it by payment of taxes and loss Of in
terest unless it was worth in the latter yea'
| about 900. Some owners of vacant
property were fortunate enough to enjoy ar
increase of such proportions, but many more
were not.

touching, bRt 1t gave no hint in Its most
impassioned passages of It's startling climax.
He closed his discourse with the words:
"Wives, prepare to meet your husband. ="
Then he said: IT am aware that the man
whose remains lie here had two wives, both
of whom are present." The statement was
too true, and an indescribable scene fol-
lowed.
Paul Clifford, the inventor Of the Paris
pneumatic post system, has made pneu-
matte rifle which is said to be wonder. It
is described this way: The weapon is much
lighter than any Of the army rifles now in
use. It resembles the magazine gun in that
a steel cartridge about span and half long
and as thick as mans thumb is attached to
the barrel by means of screw. This cart
ridge contains 800 shots, which can be dis-
charged as rapidly or slowly as a man de-
sires. At recent trial the ball travelled
with wonderful accuracy, and penetrated
deep into the wall of the shooting room. As
soon as one cartridge is emptied of it's 300
shots another can be screwed on the gun in
the twinkling of an eye. Mr.. Clifford says
the 800 shots in q cartridge can be produced
at a cost Of about threepence. The gun itself
can be manufactured for about S..

TAXING INCOMEs.

Massachusetts, has law which provides
for the taxing of incomes. It authorizes a
tax upon SO much of the income from a pro-
fession, trade or employment as exceeds the
sum Of $4,000 year. A bill is on its way
through the legislature which makes consid-
cradle change in this law. It provides that
there may be deducted from the taxable I'M
come sum equal to the annual interest at
per cent. upon the assessed value Of the tax
able capital or property employed in such
profession, trade or employment. The pres
ent law does not tax incomes derived from
property subject to taxation, but another
amendment proposed by the pending bill
also exempts from tax alton such
part of ones taxable income as has been In
vested In property subj ect to taxation in the
State and which remains SO invested on the
1st of May. If the bill shall pass, as 1t is
probable that it will, a person who has an
income exceeding $4,000 year, from pro-
fession, trade or employment, may deduct
from that part which is subject to taxation a
sum equal to 5 per cent. upon the capital OF
property employed by him, and if, when he
gets his income, he puts it into taxable prop.
erty, the income will not be taxable.
It is believed that this change will work
we'll. Under the present law there has beer
complaint of injustice.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

French papers have the news from this
country. One of them informs its readers
that Chicago received the worlds fair
through NJ. Tomplatt of New York, who oc-
cupies the responsible position of boss of the
republic.
The city council of Minneapolis has de-
creed that no licenses shall hereafter be is-
sued for the erection of buildings over one
hundred feet high, the action being caused
by the fire In the Tribune building of last
autumn.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller remarks that the
Standard Oil company now manufactures
$500, 900 gallons OF crude petroleum into
different products per day. Two-thirds of
these products, of the value of $55, ,000, 900,
are exported. The company employs in its
business force of about %, 900 men.
Woman is not always indirect. The widow
of q merchant and her daughter arrived at
the Russian town of Orel and put up at a
hotel, registering as follows: Merchant
widow from Dmitrowsk, accompanied by her
unmarried daughter, Jashs, nineteen years Of
age, 10000 rubles dowry, of fair complexion,
with light hair and blue eyes. turned-up nose,
dimpled cheeks. No other bodily defects OF
special marks."
The Lake Champlain ice men find fly in
their ointment. It is now estimated that tc
dispose of the quantity now stored would
take six trains of forty cars each daily for 125
days, or $500 canal boats of large size. Only
1000 canal boats passed through the canal
last year, which was considerably more thar
| the average. So it is plain that neither b.
rail nor boat is there any way to bring the
Ice to the city customers, and to add to tht
difficulty the boatmen have doubled thei
charges for freight.
Switzerland is the county for tramps. 4
tramp happened to be bitten in the hane
some time ago by the watchdog of hons
which he had incautiously entered for tn
purpose of exercising his profession. Al
though the bite was not of a severe nature
yet the tramp had the nerve to bring sui
against the owner of the dog and to clair
damages on the ground that the bite had sir
oapacitated him for work." The Swiss coul
at Zurich at once recognized the justice OF hl
demands. It declares explicitly that th
owner of house is responsible for the safet
of all persons who come to see him, eve
when the visit is for the purpose of maxim
an appeal to his benevolence.
