A Shrewd JanitOr.

The public and private halls in certain
class Of New York apartment houses are
heated by furnace in the basement. This
furnace is attended by a janitor, who with
his family occupies the habitable portion
of the underground story. The tenants of
one such apartment house have lately
cleared up great mystery connected with
the erratic actions of the furnace In mild
weather this furnace gave off such volumes
of heat that not only the halls but every
room in each apartment were thoroughly
warmed; but each time the mercury got
down in the vicinity of zero the registers
in the halls persisted in giving up nothing
but quantities of ice cold air. In response
to agoriized appeals down the speaking
tube the janitor would pile in more coal
and shake down the cinders violently, all
of which had no perceptible effect above
the basement The tenant who solved the
mystery was the one who, knowing some
thing about furnaces himself, went down
to the jautor's domain TO investigate mat
ters. lie found the atmosphere of the
basement hot enough to roast apples, and
was at once enlightened. Though the fur
mace was ostensibiy there to promote the
comfort of those who paid the rent, the
janitor, by closing all the heat pipes, had
kept all the warmth below stairs for him;

We observe that the poll tax discus
sion keeps at white heat down at
Trenton. The True american and
the State Gazette have locked horns
over it. and everything to be said on
the subject has been said several
times over. The case may be briefly
summed up thus
In the first place there is no direct
authority in the Constitution for the
imposition of the poll tax.
Secondly, assuming that there is a
negative authority left for the levy Of
the tax, it is argued that it is grossly
unfair since it is levied only on men,
while women and children, who
equally enjoy the benefits of law and
government, are exempted. Married
and single men pay alike, and the
rich and the poor bear the burden
with ar equality which is only right
on the theory of equal benefits, while,
if that theory is to rule. the exemp-
ton of women and minors is absurd.
4nC O0AdAllC Vi ICdcOAl llluS SCtiuo ~
be against the poll tax. But when
we come to consider it as a practical
measure, the Ease is even worse. We
understand that in certain sections of
the State as large a proportion of it is
collected as of any other tax. But
this is in small and simple communi-
ties where every mans personality is
much more a matter of public note
than in big cities or towns, and where
it is possible for officials to follow up
individuals with some stringency and
make them pay up. In cities such as
Jersey City, Newark. Paterson or
Camden. the collection of the tax
from any except propertyowners is an
absolutely hopeless matter. The plan
of the Commission bill for personal
notice to every citizen, and personal
proceedings to enfore collections in
every individual case is so hopelessly
Utopian that it is a wonder any seri-
ous body OF men could have advanced
it in sober earnest. Any one who
considers what the task would
be in this city. where there
are from fly to seventy-ive thou
sand persons subject to taxation,
must see that the scheme is wild be-
yond expression. Yet, if it is not to
be enforced in some such way, how is
the poll tar to be made anything but
a farce?
Most of our sister States have aban-
doned this form of impost as imprac-
ticable,..and unjust on account of its
impracticability, and have therefore
abandoned it. This a good time for
us to do likewise.
