To THE EDITOR OF The SuN-.Sr: Your edi-
torial in yesterdays paper concerning the
Collateral Inheritance tax was timely. and hit
the nail on the head.
Never since the obnoxious Stamp act was
passed by England has any statute found its
way into our books which was more invidious
and hateful
When it was first enacted it was under the
guise OF taxing collateral relat ions and stran-
gers. The pecuniary interest which was az
forded to Com ptrollers and District Attorneys
was found So remunerative by them that
through their efforts the Legislature was pre-
vailed upon to pass the offensive Direct Taxa
ton law. not for the revenue it yielded the
state. but the increase which these officials
wou derive from its collection.
1t has been recently suggested by them that
an income tax upon the living should now be
introduced and In the course of another year
orso we will have taxation in every shape and
form 10 increase their revenue.
ii taxes cannot be collected by our officials
during the liletime of people they certainly

dent in Oriental Rutocratic Governments. IL

animation OF RE1NACH's body; and, finally.
TO thwart and cripple the proposed parlia-
mentary inquiry. When we bear In mind
that the purpose OF tho committee headed
by NJ. BRlssoN was to root out bribo takers
and purge the Chamber OF the shameful Of
fences imputed to many Of its members.
we can see that no English or American
legislature would for II moment have
withheld from its committee the judicial
powers needed to make investigation fruit
ful. The refusal OF snch powers under such
circumstances would in England or the
United States be deemed n conclusive indi-
cation OF bad faith and Of n guilty con-
science on the part Of the Legislative ma
iority. Tho R1BoT Cabinet and their parti
sans have, indeed. endcav0rcd to divert
suspicion OF their motives by asserting
the improperly NJ confoundng Legislative
with judicial aud executive functions.
They say that, II the COMMITTEES of Inquiry
had the power Of compelling the attendance
Of witnesses and of Furnishing them for per-
jury, 1t would practically become a Commit
tee OF Public Safety. and in the public eye
not the Cabinet but the committee would
constitute the chief power In the State. Tho
truth is believed to be that the present Min
listers do not want the investigating com
mittee to investigate. They fear lest the
COMMITTEES. once equipped with magistrrial
functions. should bring to justice some OF
the Cabinets principal uphoiders. and even
some of the Ministers themselves. Accord
ingly. NJ. RIBor and his colleagues seem to
have looked upon the retention Of prose-
cutting powers in their own hands as mat.
ter on which their political existence hung.
We believe that the attempt of the knot
OF politicians who arc still for the mo-
ment In power to control the torrent
OF scandal which has broken out of
the Panama transactions and to shield
themselves and their friends from inn
plicatiOn in it will prove futile. Never
since September. 1870. have the French peo-
pie been wrought to such resentment and
disgust. They feel that they have been
robbed on a colossal scale by the Panama
Canal Company, and that they have been
dishonored by their bribe-taking represent
atives in the Legislature. They will be but
partially cOnciliated by the sembancc OF
rigor now exhibited by Cabinet which but
yesterday tolerated the presence Of a man
like RoUvIEg. The only body OF men in
which the mass of Frenchmen place entire
confidence at this moment is the investi-
eating committee OF tho Chamber headed
by NJ. BRIssoN. 1t is the members OF that
resolutc. truth-seckng committee and their
unwavering supporters in the Chamber
who. If new general election we're to take
place tomorrow. would probably become
the masters OF France.

Mr. Secretary ELK1Ns tells us. In his
annual report, that 1.-The interests Of the
nation demand that the administration OF
military affairs shall be attended with dig
nifty and decorum. To this end 1t is nee
essary that the commanding General
should be conspicuously superior in
rank to all subordinates. Experience has
shown that rank as well as command is es-
sential to give proper effect to authority in
any military Organization OF importance.
Accordingly II is recommended that the
Lieutenant Geueralcy lie revived as a per-
manent grade Of army rank"
Tho source of these platitudes Is easy to
discover, and hence no names need be mem
toned. But inasmuch as neither MEADE
nor THOMAS needed any such rank to en-
able them to command armies OF the first
magnitude with dignity and dccorum. nor
ever had anything more than the Presidents
assignment while holding only the rank
OF Major. General. in order to give proper
effect to the authority which they exercised
over other MajorGenerals holding even
older commissions than their own. Con-
gress and the country should be slow to be-
lieve that 1t is necessary to revive the grade
OF Lieutenant-General in these piping
days OF peace when our army numbers less
than $4,000 men all told
American Generals OF real ability have
never had much trouble in enforcing
obedience when properly assigned to duty.
On the other hand. no amount OF rank has
ever enabled the weak and incompetent to
achieve success in the face Of great obstacles.
The fact is that no trouble is to be ex-
pected when the army is commanded as it
Is now by tho senior Major General. II he
needs any such help as the Lieutenant-Gen-
eralcy to enable him to secure obedience
and enforce discipline. as the Secretary
seems to intimate. let him resign and give
the next in rank chance.
The rank Of Lieutenant General has been
bestowed hitherto for conspicuous services
only. and perhaps not always to tho most
worthy. There seems to be no call for it as
reward for merit at the present time. and
hence Congress should let it remain in
abeyance till some great emergency. or
some extraordinary military performance.
calls for its revival.
The unbroken usage Of the country in
times OF peace no less than the maintc-
nance Of republican simplicity in the army
demand that the recommendation OF Mr..
Secretary ELKINs should be allowed to
sleep till some great conflict calls for Its
resurrection.
