A TAX ON INCOMES,

According to the New York Herald
the tariff bill that will be submitted for
ratification by the Democrats when Con-
gress meets will contain provision for a
tax on incomes. If the tariff is reduced
to revenue basis. aud all protection in
cidental or otherwise, is to be eliminated
from it, as promised in the platform, the
income tax will not be a matter of ex-
pediency but Of necessity. The money
needed to pay the expenses of this gov
eminent cannot be raised by a tariff
from which all protective duties are
eliminated. The country's experience
with an income tsx during the war was
not happy one. The tax WIS extreme
ly unpopular, it was productive of much
perjury, and it distributed the burdens
of the support of the government very
unevenly. It was quickly repealed, and
no party of any considerable strength has
ever since that time proposed it's re-
vival. We do not believe any considera-
BILE number of Democratic representa-
tives will be in favor of it's revival now
though here and there one may support
it. AS between an income tax and the
repudiation of it's promise to repeal
all protective taxes and give us free
trade tariff the majority Of the Demo-
Gratis will choose the latter because the
latter will do them less mischief with the
voters of the country.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The third and fourth volumes of Ed
ward L. Pierce's elaborate and Exhaust
i've memoir of Charles Sumner Boston:
Roberts Brothers: Portland: Loring.
Short& Harmony now see the light and
bring the great work to fitting conclu-
sion, leaving nothing to be desired in the
way of material for forming Judgment
of the illustrious Massachusetts Senator
and anti-slavery champion; though much
to be desired in the judgment passed by
the biographer, whose mind is heated
and unjudIcial and who permits his per.
sonal likes and dislikes to play too great
part in his work. Hislintense personal
partisanship is more evident and more
unrestrained than in the opening vol
umes, and he puts no curb upon his in
tolerant pen in treating of the men, some
of them the greatest in the land, who
crossed Summers path. By these strict
ures it is not meant that he suppressed
or tempered with evidence, for in the
presentation of that he is rigidly honest,
but that he is partial and bitterly preju-
diced in comment and inference. In his
eyes nothing that Sumner does is wrong.
and nothing that his adversaries do is
right. Perhaps it is better for the book
that this is so, for the spirit of partisan
ship gives it animation and color and
makes it more interesting reading. The
generous heat of the author excites
warmer interest in the subject of his
memoir than man of Summers rather
repellant personality would otherwise
arouse.
1t must be admitted that the letters in
these two volumes, covering 1.-THE period
from 1916 down almost to the day of
Summers death, present the Massachu-

The Argus explained yesterday that
Aldermen Guptill, MCGOWAN and Brack-
EFT were absent from the meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen Tuesday
night because they ''had made other en-
gagenents for the evening which could
not be broken at such short notice as
they had of the meeting" But yesterday
the absent aldermen themselves ex-
planned to the Advertiser that the reason
they were absent was because they did
not propose to allow the policemen nomi-
mated by the Mayor to be confirmed I'M
der any circumstances. Knowing that
Tolman was away and nor knowing that
Josselyn was also away they refused to
attend the meeting because they thought
they GOULD not defeat confirmation.
They say distinctly that had they known

When President Cleveland sent Mr..
Blount to Hawaii with paramount au-
thority'' he practically removed Mr..
Stevens, the American minister. He has
now done it formally and made Mr..
Blount minister resident. Accompany
ing the act is the suggestion that Mr..
Stevens has been removed because he
was strongly, in favor of annexation.
The accusation made against Mr.. Ste
yens is one that he will not undertake to
deny. He has never attempted to CON
ceal his opinion that it would be Of great
advantage to this country to control the
Sandwich Islands, and whatever infiu-
ence he could properly exert to that end
he has not failed to make use OF. Mr..
Stevens was undoubtedly in favor of an
nexation, He considered that best for
the islands and best for the United
States His removal for the cause al
legged indicates that the administration
is in favor Of a different policy from that
Mr.. Stevens advocated. Exactly what it
is is still secret locked up in the breast
of President Cleveland and his special
commissioner, Mr.. Blount Eventually
it must come out, and then the public
will be able to judge whether this coun-
try has gained or lost by the removal of
Mr.. Stevens and the substitution of Mr.,

Master Hunt Of the State Grange. in an
address just issued to the order dis
courses regretfully, on the defeat of
the listing bill, which he calls Just
measure. Theoretically it may be just,
but in practice it has always worked
gross injustice and always will. Instead
of equalizing taxation, as Mr.. Hunt thinks,
it would. as such measures always have.
make it more unequal than ever. The
legislature in defeating the bill was
kinder to the farmer than the Grange in
advocating it, though there is no ques-
ton but the latter is animated by sim
cere intention to help the agricultural
population. ~.

Tariff bills there will be in plenty when
Congress meets, if the various gentlemen
who are at work on the subject do not
get tired before that time. The New
York Reform Club is preparing one. Mr..
Springer is at work on a measure which
in his opinion will adjust the tariff to
every ones perfect satisfaction. Mr..
Mills and Mr.. Atkinson announce that
they will be ready with another when
Congress meets, their schedule having
been formulated with the consent or CO.
operation of the Cleveland administra-
ton. Mr. McMillin has not iyet signified
his intention to join in the competition
for doubtful honors, but it is believed he
and other Democratic statesmen will be
heard from in the fall. Representative
Warner of New York, has tariff smash
ing scheme in hand also. But the real
genuine, Simon-pure tariff we assume is
being concoeted by Secretary Carlisle,
with the assistance of Mr.. David A.
Wells and other eminent free traders and
under the direct supervision of Mr..
Cleveland. This will go Unto the house
stamped with the approval of the Presi-
dent and accompanied with warning
perhaps that the Democrats who oppose
it won't have much of chance at the
Offices. This bill therefore will take the
crowd.

The Lewiston Sun is; greatly rejoiced
because Mr.. A. 7. Sturtevant, the
head of the stationery division
OF the treasury, has been removed
by Mr.. Carlisle. That he was a
Republican and had faithfully performed
the duties of his responsible office for
thirty years are, in the SUMS opinion,
most excellent reasons why he should be
kicked out.

sets Senator in much more amiable
light than that shed upon him by the
Judgment of his contemporaries. There
are to be sure many traces in them of in
tellectual intolerance and the vanity of
learning, but they breathe throughout of
kindly andIgenerous and most forgiving
nature where men, even his most bitter
personal enemies, are concerned, and are
remarkable for their sweetness of temper
and genuine Christian charity. Indeed
the only bitterness in the book is that in
jected by the biographer. 1t must have
been Summers manner not his deeds,
that made SO many enemies among pc
litical comrades.
Mr.. Pieres's heat can however be par
doned in view of the great value of his
contribution to biography and political
history; for we can draw our own con-
illusions from the mass Of evidence he
has honestly submitted, thanking him
for the skill and care and interchangeable
energy he has shown in collecting and
arranging it and making it easily accessi-
Bile to all men. Charles Summer was a
picturesque and.potent factor in theanti-
slavery struggle and the years that i'm.
mediately followed; and though his
figure may not loom SO large in the flu
ture as it does now, ihis place is secure
among the great Americans of the nine
teenth century. 1t is fitting that his life
should be written by an intimate friend
whose wide knowledge of the man and
the period and unrestricted access to III
innate sources of information are large
qualifications. Despite it's faults of
temper Mr.. Pierce's work is most valua-

perhaps, most interesting,

After silence of some two years, pre-
sumably passed in inventing risky situa-
tions, Mr. Edgar Saltus resumes his pen
and writes the !old story under new

The tale is distinguished by the same
coarse fiippancy which Mr. Saltus takes
to be airy cynicism, the same knowledge
of the table that the butler long at ser
vice acquires, and the same footman' S
familiarity with high life, that character
ize his former work. ALI these traits
his admirers will recognize and welcome;
but the latest fiippancy of this fin de

they may not forgive.

but, unlike $50 many endeavors of that
kind, interesting as tale and meritori-
GUS as work Of art. SaIome herself is
a woman Of brains and earnest purpose
and charming disposition, who puts down
a strike in the great Shawsheen faills,
builds ahome and library and cooking
school for girls, and finds husband in
railroad wreck, making Sheperdtown a
paradise for him and hundreds of others.
The labor question is, though handled
with some ideality, treated on the whole
wisely and in practical spirit.
