In view OF the fact that the adoption by
Vermont OF an inheritance tax law has been
advocated it will be OF interest to note that
there is a strong movement in Connecticut
in favor OF tho repeal Of tho collateral in
heritence tax law passed by the Legislature
of that State. This agitation is undoubt-
eddy due to tho fact that large portion of
the people in that State hOpe to receive
property from relatives more or less distant
at some time or other. b, this as it may
it is proposed TO amend tie tax law SO as to
exempt legacies to brothers and sisters and
nephews and nieces, though tho reason why
legncies TO those named should be exempt any
more than requests 10 direct descendants
does not readily appear. IL tho proposed
modification Of Connecticut j law 10 made,
property bequeathed to a son will be subject
to Il lax, while a bequest to a brother will
not be taxed, a discrimination difficult TO
justify; for in many cases sons contribute
not little to their iather's possessions,
while other relatives have not added one
cent thereto.
There is a precedent for The exemption
proposed, however, although it may not
be good one, for the Massachusetts law
makes tho exemption to brothers and sisters
as well as tbs wives and husbands of the
children Of testator. In addition to this
the law in force in the Bay State exempts
all legaces to charitable, religious and edu-
cational institutions the property Of which
is already exempt by law from taxation,
and, as the Spring Iied Republican puts it,
the law seems to apply to no
body and nothing, sincs few other
institutions than those named attract the
generosity OF rich men. This form OF
benevolence should not be- discouraged for
evident reasons, but otherwise no exemp-
lions should be made, and collateral and
direct Inheritance should be treated alike.
1t is evident, of course, that a law taxing
inheritances would not be so apparently
successful in small States like Vermont and
Connecticut as in States like New York and
Massachusetts, having an unusually large
proportion Of milionsres aud other rich
men among their population, but
there is no doubt that the
operation of such law in Vermont would
prove satisfactory. 1t is so difficult tC
reach ell the wealth Of the State by taxa
ton, owing TO the degree to which tax
lodging is practc9i, that it is no more
than fair to tax estates when for once their
total valuation does nppear.

The death Of Mr.. Blaine removes one OF
the most prominent figures in American
public life. His public career bad indeed
virtually closed many months since;-and
the bulletins from bis sick chamber must
have prepared his friends throughout the
land for the final announcement, borne far
anl wide by the wires Friday. Yet the
word that be has actually gone must still
bring something of a shock, and pang of
sorrow to many hearts. No public man in
this country since Henry Clay, saving only
the immortal Lincoln, has had SO
large and 80 loyal personal fol-
lowing, among our people, ms he
had, The masses OF his admirers
and they are numbered by thousands in
every Stats-stuck to him through good
report and through evil report, through
sunshine and storm. No name will soon
again, like his, invoke such inevitable AMI
spontaneous applause whenever uttered up
on the stump or in the lecture hall. His
followers admired and trusted him and re
fused to believe evil Of him, and they will
mourn him sadly, now that he has gone.
AS Congressman, speaker, senator and Soc
rotary Estate, twice a candidate for the
Republican nomination for president, and
once the Republican nominee for president,
he has been for thirty years constantly
before the public. The 'ferce light" which
boats on thrones. and on the chairs of lead
ing Statesmen and political chieftains, has
shone steadily about him. His acts, his
traits, his ambition, his virtues and his
weaknesses have alike been public property
and his fams will also be cherished as a
public possession. Peace to his ashes and
rest to his soul

From the Ogdensburg Journal


Mrs. Almira White died at the homo Of
w. ID. Parker in Lowvlle Friday evening.
She was a daughter OF Enos Wood, ST., a

the wilderness with OK team. January
3, 1904 Mrs. White WAS born at Malone,
being the first female child born in Frank
lin county, and up to within only few
days OF her death she related with much
clearness many "reminiscences of early life
in that section, particularly important
officers in the army of that date boarded
with her father, and she would give their
names as readily as though the occurrence
was of recent date. Her husband, Nathan
White, was a survivor Of the war of 1912,
and died at Malone about 20 years ago.
Mrs. White had in her possession a large
numbe OF letters and documents written
by her father the first few years OF his resi-
dence at Malone, giving a description of
trips made up and down the ST. Lawrence
river, and of important events connected
with his business and other affairs. Mrs.
White came from Malone to Lowville about
10 years ago and has made her home with
her niece, Mrs. Parker. One brother sur
wives, Rev. Enos Wood, jr., OF Potsdam, a
retired Presby terrain minister, now 81 years
of age.

Tho Canadians on Probation.

comparatively few newspapers which take

Our esteemed contemporary holds tho
opinion that II the Canadians had the spirit
OF our revolutionary fathers they would
work out the problem Of Independence, and
become a nation instead OF an annex to the
United States, and it expresses surprise that
they have shown such supineness over their
unfortunate condition. The Times thinks,

Better Roads in New Yor

The example OF the Vermont Legislature
in passing law providing for the improve
mont of ths States highways is likely to be
followed by the New York Legislature. A
bill has just been introduced in that BODY
embodying the views Of Governor Flower,
and as it contains some excellent features
VIC give summary Of its provisions
for the benefit Of our readers The bill
amends the present highway laws and
provides that the board OF supervisors in
any county, by majority vote, may des-
ignate certain county roads, which, SO far
as possible, should be the leading market
roads between towns in the county. Upon
fling with toe county clerk map dvsig-
mating such roads, the board Of super visors
may undertake the repair aud maintenance
OF thoss roads, the cost of tho same to be u
county expense and to be epportioned
among the several towns Of the county.
Tho bill also authorizes the board OF SUI
pervisors 10 borrow money for the purposos
OF construction aud repairs of these county
roads at a rate not exceeiiug per cont per
annum. In any county which avails itself
of the privileges of the act, the board of
supervisors shall appoint county engineer
who shah have general supervision OF the
construction and repair of the county roads.
IL is also provided that tho money system
shall prevail for keeping all other roads in a
town in repair, instead of allowing residon Is

Samoan Affairs.

Letters from Ex-Governor Z. j. Ormsbee
OF the Samoan land commission, dated eft
Apia, January 8, report him as having IN
interrupted good health, and looking ahead
to not very far distant return home. A
copy of the Samoan Herald, received by the
same mail, shows that Apia has a good sized
weekly newspaper with some ten columns of
advertisements, Of hotels, bankers, NOR
chants, lawyers, livery sta bles, bakeries, Jew
ellers, public library, ETC., etc. This copy
OF December ~ mentions narrow escape
OF the United States steamer Alliance from
shipwreck in storm, while anchored Off
Apia. She dragged her anchors and barely
escaped strandng upon a reef, along which
she actually scraped for some distance. A
column devoted to the work of the land
commission, shows that over 500 claims
have boon recently disposed OF, covering
some four hundred thousand acres of land.
Several thousand claims still remain I'M
acted on. The Herald reports that the
royal standing army, once numbering "near-
ly fifty" has become reduced to a corporal
guard of 'dejected warriors" by want of
pay. Allusions to the Samoa Times indi-
cate that tue Herald is not the only Samoan
newspaper; and altogether this specimen of
Samoan journalism indicates the possession
of the institutions and appliances of civil
ization in that far distant community of
of the south seas to a much greater extent
than we had been prepared to expect.

The Louisiana lottery does not propose

ways to XIII this octopus. The latest an
nouncement in connection With the lottery
company is that it has secured e charter
from Honduras, for which it pays the sum
of $1,000, 900 and a dividend OF from one
to three per cent upon tho face value Of the
tickets sold, end viii move to that country.
The authorities OF Honduras evidently think
they have secured bonanza, If the report
is true that they have included in the terms
OF tho charter concessions to the lottery
gamblers Of the island of Guanja in tho bay
OF Honduras, the right to lay cable from
that point to the United St9tes, Europe or
the Antilles, total exemption from taxa
ton and the privilege of building steam
ship line from the Honduras coast to any
part OF the giCbe. The government of Hon
duras should now buy up all the lottery
tickets and make sure OF at least one prize.
