Effect of the Silver Repeal.

Colorado-that is, all of the state except
the Populist Governor-has so fully recover.
ed from its fit of blues that the commonwealth
is in better spirits this winter than ever be-
fore. The Rocky Mountain News, which
only few months ago prophesied absolute
ruin in case the silver-repeal bill were passed,
now declares that Denver is the most pros
porous city and Colorado the most prosperous
state between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Ex- Gov. Grant says that Colorado is the
first state to show signs of business revival,
and that it will offer in the future, as in the
past, ''the most inviting opportunities for labor
and capital of any state in the Union. " AT
"a recent gathering of business men from all
over the state in Denver. the speakers admit
ed, to quote the words Of one of them, that
this terrible importance of our silver is
overdrawn, . while another boosted that "we
have more coal per capita than Pennsylvania,
we have greater agricultural resources per
capita than the states Of the Mississippi: vel
ley, we lead all others in the production not
only Of silver but of gold. There has been
a wonderful development of gold mining dur
ing the last few months, and the new gold
camp of Cripple Greek is producing maxwell
Gus supplies. Altogether it is hard to be-
lieve that this is the same state over whose
impending destruction Senator Teller was
shedding tears in the Senate only a few weeks

Bureau of Statistics.

The Second Annual Report of the Bu-
reau of Industrial Statistics of Maryland,
just issued, is ponderous document of
nearly four hundred pages OF these one
hundred and seventy are taken up by
paper on the oyster industry by member
of the U. S. Fish Commission, and nearly
one hundred more by the present tax laws
and the Hayes bill of 1892. These could
readily have been obtained by anybody
wanting them, and the balance of the
pamphlet does not possess much public
importance The Bureau could be abol-
ishcd with no loss to the state, but if such
information as is contained in the report
before us is deemed of sufficient value TO
publish, the State Librarian could be
charged with the duty and the state saved
the So, 900 expense the Bureau entails.

An Income Tax.

A Republican Administration imposed
a tax on incomes of $4,000 and upward.
1t was excused as war measure. The
Republican party now opposes tax on
incomes of $4,000 and upward, because
this is time of peace. The payment of
pensions is a legacy of the war, and they
have grown to such an extent that nearly
half of the revenue of the government an
nually is required to pay them. Eliminate
war expenses and war taxes can be avoided.
Besides, under all systems of taxation now
in force, federal and state, capital escapes
It's inst proportion of the public BURDEN
particularly under the federal system. An
income tax would even up matters to some
extent. and this direct tax may also have
beneficial result in directing a closer
scrutiny of public expenditures.

Excessive Appropriations.

In the Senate proceedings on Wednes-
day, the question was asked why certain
public buildings for which Congress has
made appropriations in the past, had not
been erected. Several reasons were assigned
by the members. Mr.. German said the
real reason was depleted treasury. He
stated that the aggregate appropriations
made by Congress in the last three years
exceeded the aggregate revenues of the
government during the same period by
more than $500, 700, 900, and said that if
Senators wished public works to be carried
on they must either authorize Treasury
loan or increase the revenues from taxation.
