plutocracy. and O good deal OF the talk in
favor OF an income tax is Of that nature.
With the opinions of the Populists we are
not concerned except as students and OBJ

remind Democrats that an income tax is
undemocratic. Undemocratic in principles
because 1t Is an Interference with indi.

tho imposition OF such q tax was unani.

Tho General Term A nlr1us Judge Herrick's
Decision Against tho Contestant.
KINGSTON. Doc. ON the contest between
George H. Bush. Democrat. and james Louns-
bury. Republican. for a seat In the Assembly
from tho Second Ulster district, the General
Term has just handed down a decision affirm
ing the order Of Judge Herrick. The decision is
on tho appeal Of Bush in three cases brought
against the Board Of Canvassers of Ulster
county and the chairmen and inspectors Of
election in tho First and Second districts Of
the town Of Esopus. There were twenty-six
alleged marked ballots. which Bush claimed
had been voted. The original returns were
fled In the County Clerks Office without the
marked ballots being attached. Judge Furs-
man. on the application Of Bush. granted m
order to show cause why the ballots should
not be attached TO tho returns. and restrained
the Board Of CanvasserS IRON counting the re-
turns OF the districts in question. The case
was argued beiore Judge Herrick. who de-
cided against Bush, but issued an order re-
straininE the canyasScrs from counting the
marked ballots. which he decided were il
affixed or DESTROYED on the night 81 election
Bush then appealed to the General Torn.
Unless Bush takes the matter TO tho Court Of
Appeals. the Board of County Can,ussors will
next week complete the canvass from the re-
turns as originally fled and A. give certificate

The Crisis at Madrid.

The defeat In the Cortes. which caused
the resignation OF the Premier. SeiIor
CANovAs DEL CASTILLO, was due to q split
In the Conservative party. the Liberals.
under their chief. S'fIor SAaAsTA. taking
no part In the division. 1t was o majority
OF his own quondam followers who passed a
vote Of want OF confidence in tho head Of
the Government. on the ground that he
should be held responsible for the fraud
and embezzlement connected with the
Madrid municipal administration. The ac-
count of the city's resources and indebted
ness. which was made public the other day
by the new Mayor. Marquis DE CUBAs. is
said to be the first truthful statement
which has appeared for many years. 1t
discloses scandalous state OF affairs. and
demonstrates that Madrid. under q mon
archy. has been more mercilessly robbed
than New York was under TWEED.
The Government will undoubtedly be
called upon to lend its credit to restore Or
der in the Madrid municipal finances. and
thus a fresh burden will be laid upon the
Spanish taxpayer. Tho financial difficulties
of Spain, which are impelling her with
every year nearer to bankruptcy. are
watched with keen anxiety by the friends
of Cuba. for it is only a question OF time
when the sale Of that island will be recog-
nized as the sole means OF extrlcating the
mother country from Its troubles. At
present the Queen OF the Antilles costs tho
Madrid Government much more than she
returns in the shape of revenue. TO be re-
lieved from that source OF expenditure
would at once produce an equilibrium in
the Spanish budget, and the Government
would also have atits disposal theincome Of
the sum paid for the island. which would
scarcely be less than $500. 100000.
We know on the authority Of Mr. JOHN
BIaELow. formerly our Minister to Paris.
