cdcd to remain in office two years
more, Notwithstanding the republican
landslide A popularity has been dis
covered in the law as II relates to his
office The constitution provides that
he shall be elected for two years and
until his successor Is elected and
qualified. The special law passed
in 1870 says that the state printer
shnll be elected by majority Of the
members-elect Of each house and not a
majority Of both bodies. II the popu.
list majority Of the senate votes for
Snow they will thereby make the elec-

possible, and hence Snow will remain
In the office for the reason that sue.
cessor will not be elected and qualify.
This peculiar law is u special one that

nected with the crime for which GUM

ment in writing, on August 16, for the

Proposed French Tax on Servants

Paris. Aug 25.-Liveried servants will
perhaps go out of fashion, since France
is going to put a tax on them. If the
fashion is discarded there, we possibly
may do the same, since in America the
custom of liveries is not Indigenous
but only a reflection of European
mode.
The French government proposes to
take the tax off windows and doors,
and make up the deficit by tax on
house rents and one on servants The
window and door tax bears hardest on
the poor, who have more windows in
their houses than the rich. They have
taken a long time to find this out, and
the new law, it is calculated, will shift
the burden on to shoulders better able
to bear it. The idea is not to demand
so much a head for each servant en-
ployed, which would cause inquisitions
and evasions; but when tenant takes
possession of a house, the law asks,
Have you servants?" If the answer
is affirmative. the rent tax is aug
mented 40 per cent, but if there is only
one servant. it is 20 per cent.
Evasion of this law will turn on the
definition of a servant. A servant is
defined. as in general, any person ex-
clusively and permanently in the SER
vice of another exclusive of industrial,
commercial and agricultural work.
But the law does not consider as such
woman employed by the day to do
general homework, and it is by this
exception that people of small means
hiring one domestic. will be able to
creep out from the tax; for it is very
generally true in France that such wo-
men are married and have homes of
their own. to which they go at night
and return in the morning, and where
it happens that if they do not the law
is not likely to make a keen pursuit.
Thus the tax falls practically on
liveries. which are in very common
usage in France. Families Of small
means are likely now to discard them,
but it may be thought that their
value should augment among the
wealthy. and it doubtless will for a
time. 1t frequently happens, however,
that when a fashion becomes more de-
sirable because of enhanced cost it is
so ostentatiously Haunted by the vul-
gar rich as to bring on a reaction
among the people of taste. and it is
the rich people of taste who fix de-
finitely the mode, which is why / say
that liveries may go out of fashion.
Moreover. France grows more and
more democratic in high circles, and
arbitrary distinctions tend TO disap-

cured the same by a mortgage on GER
