The motive that has influenced the
Ways and Means committee to abandon
the tax on individual incomes and con-
fine this sort of taxation to the incomes
of corporations is obvious enough. It
was feared the former could not be made
popular, but the feeling that exists
against corporations, it is thought, can
be relied upon to make the latter very ac-
ceptable indeed. That is superficial
view of course, for it can easily be
shown that a tax on individual incomes
above cerain figure is really much less
Objectionable than the one proposed.
Such tax as rule will strike only
those who are able to pay it, and
though it is indefensible on the score of
equality, it produces no serious burdens.
But corporation tax, such as is proposed,
will oftentimes hit people of slender
incomes and impose upon them an I'M
just and inequitable burden. Corpora
tions are an aggregation Of individuals,
and tax on corporations is in it's ulti-
mate results a tax on individuals. The
corporation tax is therefore merely dis
SuicCo odA VII luulNluudl luCOIuGS,
which will not, like the graded income
tax, hit only those who are able to pay
it, but win hit everybody who owns
stock in the corporation, men of small
means as well as men of great incomes.
1t is vastly more unjust than the pro-
posed individual income tax, and when
the people get on to it. we are inclined
10 think that it will prove more unpopu-
lar. But the feeling against corporations
will for time no doubt carry it along
without much opposition.

gets credited with world of mischief in
whice he has no other part than simply
keeping his mouth shut.
Mitchell Republican, 2: But why
doesn't he keep his hands off with the
same assiduity with which he keeps his
mouth shut? IL he hasn't any more in
terest in legislation than every good clti-
zen ought to have, will some one kindly
tell waiting and anxious community
how in heavens name he can afford to
C imp out at Pierre for an entire session,
when the rest OF us can scarcely find
tims to keep the run Of legislation
through the papers, to say nothing OF 60
ing to the capital? We have no desire
to see Charley Mccoy made scapegoat
OF, for be has his good points and is noted
for sticking to his friends, but il he Is
trying to use the republican party to set
tie any personal scores, he is making a
serious mistake, and one that will do
him more harm than it will the party.

Inter Ocean: 1t is a rather striking
fact we are told, that all the members OF
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet are OF Scotch or
English ancestry. Col. Lamont's name
is the only one that suggests different
origin, and his forebears were Scotch.
1t would be pity to mar the uniformity
of the arrangement, and without doubt
we owe it to that circumstance that an
unknown Massachusetts, lawyer has
been chosen to the cabinet instead Of
Gen. Collins, to whom Mr. Cleveland
and his party owe debt they cannot
easily repay.

MRS. CLEyELaND's GOWN.
What the Presidents Wife VIII Wear
at the Inaugural Ball.

NEW YORK, March 3,-Referring to
the dress Mrs. Cleveland is to wear at
the inaugural ball morning paper
says: The great gown has been COM
pleted for weeks The material is a
heavy silk, rich in coloring, but delicate
in design. Mrs. Cleveland has selected
a combination of colors in which
hydrangea shades are predominant.
The skirt is very simple, gored
and quite full at the bottom,
with round train. Many women
will be struck with the simplicity of
the gown. The corsage is only medium
low, with wide bretell.s and the drop
ping shoulders that have recently come
In. 1t is thoroughly American. The
curiosity to know If the presidents
wife would appear in crinoline at the
ball can be set at rest. The skirt of the
gown she wears will be well stiffene1
with crinoline. but there are no wires
and hoopskirt accompaniment.
How Mrs. Stevenson Dresses.
Next in Importance to Mrs. Cleveland
comes the vice presidents wife, Mrs.
Stevenson, who has selected for the in
auguration ball a pretty combination Of
cream and heliotrope and the materials
are MORE antique and velvet. The skirt
and corsage are of the cream moire.
About the foot of the skirt is a narrow
arrangement of the heliotrope velvet.
The corsage is decollete, with large but
terhy-puffed sleeves of heliotrope velvet.
The top of the corsage is covered with a
rich bertha of rare old duchesse lace,
and a garland of violet outlines the
bertha. She will wear no jewels with
the costume. and the suede gloves and
fan will match the heliotrope velvet.

THE ALTERATIONS

At the Grace Methodist Church.
