THE ENGLISH INCOME TAX.

Under the English system of income tar
the privacy of a mans business affairs il
fully protected, unless he chooses to reveal
ths tax imposed by the assessor. The
officers having the levy in charge solicit a
statement from the taxpayer as TO the
amount of his income liable to taxation,
ami if they are not satisfied with il make
an estimate Of their own. 1t is to prove
taxpayer is permitted TO bring his books
before the board to show that he receives
nc such income as they have estimated. If
he does not choose to submit his books
he can accept the levy made by
thu board. In England the system is
fo.nd entirely practicable. equitable in
the distribution Of public burdens and no
more offensive than other methods of
raising money by taxation. The officers
employed in making these levies are men
of long experience with accurate knowl-
e6ge Of the conditions surrounding the
various kinds Of business. SO that in Eng
Land it is said there is no more difficulty in
lesying and collecting the income tax than
there is collecting the real estate taxes
levied by most Of the states and munich
palities.
In the United States our experience
with the income tax is not calculated to
commcUd 1t to our taxpayers. In Eng
laad the land Is nil in the hands Of some
2o.o0o to $500 persons; in the United
States the land is in the hands OF the
many. Taxes are levied on real estate and
personal property in all the states. and our
experience in trying to collect taxes on
personal property through inquisitorial
methods disposes US to the belief that a
Federal income tax would be met by
rank perjury and shameless evasion.
Samuel J. Tilden during the war was a
notorious example. of an income tax
dcdgec.

THE DxpoRrArIoN or CHINAMKN.

Justice Brewer, Of the United States So
preme court, 10 reported as saying that as
the case now stands, the Geary act awaits
some action on the part OF congress.
Judge Brewer undoubtedly refers to the
fact that the law cannot be enforced until
congress appropriates more money. There
are about i0g 900 Cinnamon to whom the
Law Is applicable. About 100 Of the more
intelligent have registered, leaving 10000
exposed TO deportation under the judy
ment OF the supreme court. II 10 sup
posed that 1t would cost about 81. 600. 600 TO
deport them. but as congress has made no
adequate appropriation for the purpose.
the deportation cannot begin at once.
though the imprisonment may. The in
generation for . year Of the great number
who have by failure TO register made
themselves liable to imprisonment at
hard labor would oil course cost a
large sun OF money. The government
has only SIC. 600 nj its disposal to pay the
expenses OF the arrest, trial, imprisonment
and deportation Of 10000 unregistered
Chinese. Under the Law every unregis-
tered Chinaman may be arrested and
brought before the nearest United States
court. There he must prove to the salts
faction OF the judges either that he had
sufficient excuse for failing to apply tor a
certificate, or else he must prove by white
witnesses that he was in the country when
the exclusion law of 1880 was enacted. II
he can prove this he Is entitled to q certi-
ticatc on payment Of cost. while otherwise
ne must be deported At once, being kept in
prison until he Is sent on his return
journey.
While every Chinaman who did not reg
lister by the 9Th instant Is liable to arrest,
imprisonment and final deportation from
the country. the power to arrest is within
control OF the secretary of the treasury.
Tho n~on-registered Chinese ''may be ar.
rested" but Secretary Carlisle, who sus-
pended arrests to await tho decision that
has been rendered. can at his discretion
continue to suspend arrests for q longer
period until congress can act on the mat
ter and give the Chinese another chance
to be duly registered a. the law requires
for continued residence i'm this country.

Tho First Arrival From Monte Crist0.
sultan City Journal.


sultan City Journal.
The first man 10 come over the Silver Creek
mountains from Monte Cristo this year was
Jack Wesley, who arrived here . few days ago.
OF all the hard trips that have been made over
this famous range this one was perhaps the
most dangerous When Jack had reached Z
poin. on the Monte Cristo side near the summit.
he found a deep crust OF snow overhanging the
summit that seemed impossible to surmount.
He walked up aud down the mountain side
looking for some point where perhaps the crust
had broken of and afford him . passage to the
summit. After an hours vain search for such
an opening no decided to try and bore his
way through the crust. 81 must be q
gopher 10: about an hour" says Jack to
himself n he got a firm footing on the snow aud
commenced to pile the sncw down from above
his head. Slowly he worked his way up throngh
the snowhank until finally daylight appeared
above him. and as his head leaned over on the
silver creek slope and his feet dangIed in the
air on the Monte C.isto side Jack breathed q
SIGH of relief as he saw daylight once more. and
after pulling him.elf out o! his hole commenced
his descent towards Gslena- All landmarks
were buried deep in the snow. The Silver Queen
Mining Company's cabins are about five feet
under the snow. Billy Caplin's cabin Is so deep
down In the snow that II is doubtful II IL will
ever thaw itself out When Jack finally reached
Mineral City, although he was the only man in
town. he said that IL was the most welcome
town that he ever struck in his life.

A MAY SONG.

Blow wind from out The south,
And hither swiftly bring
A message from the mouth
The fragrant mouth OF spring.:
And when Is heard the whispered WORD,
Each brook shall = string,
To whose sweet melody the bird
shall sing shall sing!
Blue as the sky The breast,
And blue the sudden wing
Shall be OF this glad guest
This happy guest OF spring:
He knows by rote her Oh eefy note,
And all the air shall ring
When he with rapture in his throat
Shall ~sing-shall sing!
Blow wind. and breathe Of May
Aud wild flowers b.oss0miug,
OF buds unOn the spray,
To welcome in tho spring;
The brook shall he a minstrel Tree,
And every walking thing
With her blu herald In the tree
Shall sing-shall sing!
