The Difference.

Comparatively few understand
why person in charge of an estate is
styled an Administrator in one case
and an Executor in another, although
their duties are precisely the same,"
said an old attorney, can Executor
is named in the will to administer the
estate. An Executrix is female. If
there is no will the female who closes
the estate is called the Administrators.
If the person named in the wi as
an Executor refuses to serve, the
Court appoints another person and he
is styled the Administrator with the
will annexed. If a person in charge
of an estate dies or defaults, and is
removed, his successor is called an
Administrator de 6onus non, or an
Administrator of the remaining assets

TARIFF AND INCOME TAX.

Senator Hill, of New York, partly
unburdened himself on the floor ol
the Senate on the 9th inst. by announc-
ing the fact in plain terms that 1t was
his purpose, though Democrat, to as
sail the tariff policy and income-taS
policy of the Administration. Know
ing his pent up feeling against the
President he wisely concluded to not
attempt an extemporaneouS speech
but he carefully wrote or had written
what he wanted to say in the partlcu-
ar interest of Senator Hi Of New
York and our American plutocrats,
and then he read it.
Under the circumstances of course
he had no trouble in holding the Sen
ate spell.bound from start to finish,
though he shook his own hand at its
conclusion. 1t seems.
AS we view it, there is only one class
affected directly by high tariff, and
that is the same class of very rich men
who don't want an income tax impos.
ed upon them of any kind; nor will
they submit and pay the tax if you
impose it upon them as matter OF
equity in raising revenue to sustain
the Government State or National.
Whenever tried here tofoie 1t has
failed wherever assessment has been
attempted upon fabulous wealth.
Such men as Jay Gould, for instance,
worth 60 or 10 millions Of dollars, were
permitted to return for assessment but
100000. Not so with the farmer,
however, for his taxable possessions
can be taken in at a glance by the as
SCISSOR, and, whether it be a source of
income or outgo, he must pay his taxes
without hope Of evasion.
The income tax being therefore an
attempt at equitable assessment Of
fabulous wealth, we know of no class
better able TO pay, and we therefore
favor the policy of the Administration
in thus endeavoring TO levy an assess
ment upon capital as well as upon la
Dor.
Though we have not the remotest
idea that capital will submit to 1t, we
still think the assessment should be
levied, and that they too should be
placed under oath as to the amount Of
their taxable income.
Should they sware falsely to escape
taxation let them take the responsible
ity.
The Senators most caustic objection
to an income tax is, it appears, that he
does not want the democratic party
to become the tail of the Populist
Kite" At least. so he says; but we
apprehend the truth is he wants the
sympathy and powerful influence Of
those who would have the income tax
to pay were it levied and collected.
