THE POOL ROOMS.

THE POOL ROOMS.
 The attack on the pool-room evil receives powerful and timely aid in the letter of President Dwight to the chairman of the Judiciary committee. It Is printed on our second page in the report of the doings at Hartford yesterday. It is clear and strong, and in every way just what was needed. It will have great weight with the legislature and will encourage those who are trying to rid New Haven of the pool pest.
 We agree with those who think the chief aim of the movement should be to clean out the pool rooms in the cities. Perhaps horse racing cannot be success fully conducted even in Connecticut with out gambling at the track. But 1t is to be hoped that there Is sand and salt enough in the State to squeloh the swindling con- cerns which base their operations on al- legged races run at Guttenberg or Glouces- ter; which have come into this State for the sole purpose of plunder- ing 1t; which do not give their victims even as good 6 show for their money as they could get in the pool rooms on the wicked Bowery in New York; which have spread demoraliEation, trouble anc dishonesty wherever they are located; which are a curse to honest busi- ness and 6 menace to character and in- dustry; which do their dirty business in out-of-the-wsy dens; and which seek to perpetuste their disastrous grip by making themselves solid with politicians of the baser sort.
 The attack on theas concerns should be direct and pointed. There should be no scattering on side issues

AN UNJUST TAX.

The agitation for the repeal of the col by Dr. Stephen G. Hubbard of this city appears to have 8 good deal of depth and force. Dr. Hubbsrd's first argument against the law was very strong one, and he has backed 1t up since by much effective work. Some of the leading lawyers of the State have come to his assistance and the discussion has become general.
 The chief argument in favor of the law Is that the tax is easy to collect. To this 1t is very justly replied that It is an easy tax to collect; that 1t would be just as easy for the State to take ten, twenty or fifty per cent. as 1t is for it to take five per cent, as 1t now does In all cases of col lateral inheritance of over s1,000. But ease of collection is not the chief thing to be considered in levying taxes. The rights and the interests of those taxed are i'm portsnt. It Is not at all certain that the State, after taxing mans property while be lives, has e right to take five per cent of it beosuse it happens to be left a little out oA liho- oub mhctuCl n usS Oi bns HUI the right to do 1t, 1t is evident that the law complained of has worked in 6 way that was not thought of by those who msds 1t, and in a way which has put the State in the attitude of a greedy and insstisble grsbber. Under its operations there have been many cases O. hardship, any one of which would be sufficient to disored- ! 1t the law. Take the case of the late General Terry of this oity, cited by Attorney Louis Fl. Bristol in his oerning the law. General Terry lived with his sisters. One of them was taken sud denly i'll, never regained consciousness, and died leaving a will made years before, by which, as 6 matter of family conven- fence, her property was given to her roth CT, the general, for distribution among her brothers and sisters. The property thereup- on became subject to tax of five per cent. Three weeks later General Terry himself died, leaving to his brothers and sisters tho same property, which thereupon be- came subject to fresh taI of another five per cent. Thus in a short time an assste of $30, 900 was taxed s 600 In another case two young women were taxed over $8,000 on a small estate within eleven months. Suoh taxes ss these, In addition to the two per cent tuore or lesrI local tsz on properiy, are certainly outrageous.
 There Is no justice in this law. A cousin shouldn't be taxed because he has the good luck to inherit property any more than c son should be. The law legsliEsi rank injustice. If it Is not repealed O, greatly changed for the better it will surely encourage evasion and fraud. Even If the State of Connecticut has a right (which i. doubtfuD to make people stand and de liver in the way this law does it shouldn'i do it. l. is in first class ansnoiai con
 dition. It doesn't need to over-taI any. body or any estate. And when an estate is taxed ten or twelve per cent in one year 1t is certainly overta1ed. It is plain that the law is oppressive and that I, doesn't work we'll.

 A new horseshoe recently patented has for its special object the obtaining of bss- ter foothold and the lessenins of concus- sion or jsrring effect upon the animals feet. The shoe is made with spertures e1. tending through 1t, located between the positions usually occupied by the nsil.. The openings are of dovetailed form and the usual nail holes are provided tn the in- tervening solid metal portions of the shoe Projecting through the spertures are elastic rubber studs which are fixed on 6 strip of rubber or leather intervening between the metal shoe and the we'll of the hoof and through which the nails gre driven in the operation of shoeing. By this construction the grip of the horse's foot Is immensely increased, especially on slippery pave ments, and the tendency of the horse to leg disease Is materially reduced.
