although he has serious doubts Of its effect

A Pernicious Scheme OF Taxation.

In 1885, the Legislature OF this State
passed an Infamous measure Of taxation.
known "a the Collateral Inheritance act.
which tnxed all estates over $500 In value
passing TO collateral relatives by will or by
intestacy five per cent. The Treasurers
and omthrollers collect this tax through
the agency Of the Surrogates' courts and
nay II to- the State Treasurer. reserving to
themselves five per cent Of the money Sc
cured.
This act was bad enough in itself. hut the
Legislature Of 1892 extended the operations
OF the tax 81 as to levy one per cent. on d.
rect nheritances Of personally over $4,000
in value. There was no excuse or necessity
for tho passage of the Direct Inheritance
law last winter. This species OF taxation.
whether it be constitutional or not. Is alb
soiutely wrong in principle. because 1t Is
double taxation OF the snme property In
one year. A double tax on the decedent's
estate Is paid in the year of his death. and
there can DO no justification for the impo-
sition of another burden. This succession
law places n penalty upon death. and dis
eliminates unjustiy in favor OF small es-
tates. II such tax be justitlable. it should
be levied on every estate. and there should
be no exemption dependent upon tho value
OF the property.
A succession tax Is wrong In principle and
oppressive; but it would seem that IN effort
is now TO be made to further extend It's
operations 1t is said that the State Comp
trol!er h9a evolved scheme for a gradu-
ated scale OF direct succession or inner
itancs IL xca. so that personal property on
estates between $4,000 and 100000 will pay
ono per cent; between 100000 and 100000
two per cent: three per cent. on nll between
S5oO,OOO and 81. 600. 900. and five per cent. on
all estates over $10OO.00O. And rs an argu-
menti II is urged that JAY GOULD did not pay
large enough personal taxes during his life
time. end that such II law as this would So
cure to the State tho back taxes. or course.
any such scheme Of taxation should not be
tolerated. 1t is based on the idea that men
must be punished for accommodating for
tunes. and that the punishment should be
Increased in proportion to their success.
The further extension Of tho succession
tax and the adoption of any graduated scale
will inevitably drive capitalists from New
York and compel them to take refuge in
States where wealth is not considered by
the Legislature crime.

In the extract from Chancellor CApRrv1's
speech on the Army bill. which we published
Yesterday. long standing dispute is prao-
ideally settled. Wsmean the discussion over
tho difference which existed between the nu-
merical strength OF the German army and
that OF the French army In 1870 on tho out.
break OF tho Franco German war. MoLYKE, in
MS memoirs. is accused OF looking at tho two
armies with different ends OF his field glass,
magnifying the French forces and diminish
Ing the German. The Germans would wish
the world to believe that they beat the Fren CHI
man to man. or at least that their nun srical
superiority In that campaign was compara-
lively trifling. "Dir contre un % is the Fren CHI
explanation OF the affair. But CApRIv1 settles
tho matter with the assertion that tho Ger.
mans crossed the French frontier in 1870 with
seventeen army corps. against which only
eight French army corps were opposed. At the
present time. according to the Chancellor. the
French army is at least quite as strong nu.
merically as the German army.

A New York Fair in 1877.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH--Sir: The failure
OF New York to obtain tho Columbian Exposl.
ton has always been q sore point with her
citizens. not because OF any Interior advantage
which they might have derived therefron,, but
rather because 1t appeared to bs q slight to
the greatest city Of the New World. and tho
patriotic pride OF her citizens was wounded
thereby. The Columbian Exposition will be

June. 1897. A. D.. an event OF great i'm portance
occurred. ! refer to the discovery OF North
America by John Cabot. which was not only
the earliest recorded discovery Of this conti-
nant. but also Of tho mainland Of the New
World. 1t being almost fourteen months before
Columbus first sighted South America, and
over two years before AmeriHo Vespucci had
passed the Canarles on his first voyage
1t appears very appropriate that the quadrt-
centenary OF this discovery. now approaching.
should be made the subject of some proper
celebration. and hero is tho chance for New
York to redeem her honor and to hold an ex-
position which shall surpass in extent and
grandeur any previous one. There are sew
oral factors which viii doubtless favor the

Capt. MoNTEIL's arrival in Tripoll from
his trip across the desert Is now daily ex-
pected. He will be welcomed In France as
one OF the greatest OF African travellers. and
the history he will doubtless write OF his year

votes. 1t looks as II the majority Of the
ministers might be with tho accused here
tic. Even in tho General Assembly Itself
both OF them are sure to BIO supported by
minority strong In character and Influence,
and who will not be dissuaded from their
opinions by mere majority verdict against
the accused professors, They will not take
1t as the judgment OF Heaven. but as the
blind conclusion Of fallible men.
Moreover. the basis of the heresy OF both

widely during recent years. Though new
to most Of tho laity. 1t Is familiar to oil we'll
educated ministers and has fascinated many
of them. Imperceptibly to themselves. per-
haps. they have lost their old veneration
for the Bible. Instead OF going to 1t In
spirit OF devout faith. they approach 1t In
critical spirit; and hence DR.. BRIGGS
and DR.. SMITH have their secret SYM
patty, at least. They arc ready to
become followers OF tho heretics IL
the leaders can demonstrate their ability
to carry of a party powerful enough to
look after them. The nucleus OF this party
would he increased by tho condemnation OF
other prominent professors, theologians.
and ministers whose views are In agree

and who could not refuse to 40 with them
without disqualification. II DR.. BRIGGS

eors ard all its trustees. is heretical also.
Tho prospect that tho Presbyterian

therefore. to be inevitable. Tho Old School
will cling to tho absolute perfection and
complete inspiration Of the Scriptures. Tho
New School will set up for itself indepen-
IDENTIFY on tho basis of scientific criticism
of tho Bible.
The tendency Of tho Old will be to grow
more and more conservative. The tendency
of the New will DO to become more radical
until it reaches its logical end in treating
the Bible as a purely human book descrip-
tive OF early religious evolution. and not rs
the expression OF absolute and final re-
ligious truth sent down by direct and Pc
culiar inspiration from Con. Hence the
New School will either drift into avowcd az
Mysticism or turn for refuge to the author
ity Of the Church against which Protestant

That is the problem before Presbyterian
ism. 1t is of tremendous Importance to all
believers in tho Bible rs the sole fountain
of religious truth and the only true and
perfect and sufficient guide to salvation.

AL1's reform Is to prevail. It must COM

Queen VICTORIA would consent to adopt
Mrs. SEwAII.'s short skirts In public. tho re-
form would be established.
Unless the new fashion Is promulgated
from some such high source 1t cannot be
established, and least OF all among the
working women, for whom more especially
It was devised. Those women will never
consent to distinguish themselves by wear
ing q costume peculiar to themselves.
They will not thus mark themselves out as
distinct class OF women. They will insist
on wearing tho costumes dictated by the
fashion which dominates the apparel OF
the rest of women, and that fashion is liked
by the luxurious.
Moreover. SO far as we can make out from
the description. the new costume Will
not commend itself by Ito beauty. 1t seems
to DO very unbeautiful. For instance. the
legs are enclosed in leggings which must
give them clumsy appearance. Such
ugl!ness will be fatal to its adoption. A
modification Of the conventional bath

tation OF the knickcrbockers worn by
boys and by men in the sporting

assertion. too. that the present dress OF

will also deserve honor for their courage In
