Arrangements For the Flag Raising on
the High School Grounds.
At a meeting of the joint committee
Of the G. A. r. and the Alumni associa-
ton of the High school, held last even
ing, programme was outlined for the
exercises attending the flag raising on
the High school grounds on Memorial
day. Invitations will be extended to
all military and civic organizations in
the city, including the fire department.,
to take part in the parade preceding the
for the occasion will be Judge v. B.
Chamberlain of New Britain, and the
G.. A. r. will have charge of the exer-

tending the erection of the flag staff,
are larger than at first estimated and it
is hoped that all to whom it will be a
pleasure to see the flag of our country
floating proudly from the most promi,
nent place in the city, will contribute
towards making up the balance of the
amount required.

ings terrible mine disaster, which oc.
Cured at the Richardson colliery. All
day Sunday people have been pouring
into that place to visit the scene of
the accident, and crowds stood here
and there discussing the possibilities
of rescuing the six entombed
miners All hope of rescuing them
alive is abandoned, as an investigation
proved that the air course is entirely
shut off and the men have surely suffo-
Gated It was first said that gas ex-
plosion had taken place, but this is not
so, as there was very little gas in that
portion of the mine. The cause of the
disaster was the collapsing of huge
pillar OF coal and rock which separated
No. from No. coal chute.

A FINANCIAL QUESTION.
A Problem Likely to Become u Condition
Not Theory.

Edward Atkinson writes for the Sep
tember number of the Forum very
startling article on the government
revenues in relation to taxation. Mr..
Atkinson's article is calculated to alarm
those people who imagine that it is
necessary to collect heavy protective
duties in order to get sufficient revenues
to run the government
The important thought presented in
the article is stated in these words:
"The new administration may meet
the new congress on December, 1893,
with report trendered by the secretary
Of the treasury somewhat as follows:
The income derived by the treasury
from the taxes and duties upon liquors
and tobacco is now sufficient to cover
all the normal expenses OF the govern
ment, including the army and navy, and
in addition thereto the interest on the
public debt 1t will be incum bent up
on congress, therefore, to make suita-
BILE provision only for the amount of
revenue which may be necessary to
pay pensions, and to contribute to the
sinking fund for the ultimate redemp-
ton of the public debt, according to
law"
In demonstration of this Mr. Atsin-
son presents the governments balance
sheet for the fiscal year 1889. Here, it
is seen, that the total revenues from
whisky and tobacco, including the
duties collected on them, amounted to
Sl4S, ss3, 1ss SO, while the total expenses
of running the government, not count
ing pensions and interest on the public
debt, reached only STAG, AIS, l442a.
Interest and pensions are temporary
expenses, and may be expected to de-
crease; and then the government will
be called on to confront the fact that
tariff taxation must be reduced.
What will become of our high pro-
lection when the people learn that the
government can be run without a
penny from the custom houses beyond
the duties on whisky and tobacco?
