TARIFF AND REVENUE.
Senate Sub COMMITTEE stfll Struggling
with tho Wilson Bill.

Senate Sub Committee still Struggling
with tho Wilson Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE senate
subcommittee on tariff today sat in
Senator Vests room until IL o'clock,
and then repaired to the room of the
senate committee on finance, where the
meeting was continued, with all the
Democratic mem bere OF the committee,
except Vance, present. The committee
is making herculesn efforts to get the
bill in shape for presentation to the full
committee at the regular meeting Tues
day next. Secretary Carlisle met with
the members of the subcommittee for
an hour this morning, discussing the
administrative features OF the bill and
comparing figures as to the amount of
revenue necessary and the best means
OF raising it. The committee lie OF the
opinion that il the bill can be made to
insure s450,000,00 at present, that it
can be made to serve the purpose.
Carlisle has been consulted as to the
proposed change in the whisky tax, and
the best information obtainable ia that
he has advised that there shall he no
extension of the bonded period, unless
also corresponding increase of tax,
because OF the revenue requirements OF
the government and the necessity for an
immediate increase. The senators iu-
tereeted in securing an extension OF the
bonded period are firm in the belief that
the committee will report favorably in
this respect. They also believe there
will be an increase of the tax, which
will meet Cerlisle's objections.
Mcpherson sat with the committee,
and continued mis- efforts to secure GER
tain changes in behalf of the manufRct-
uring interests of New Jersey.
There has not been day for week
that there have not been large delegs-
tions from that state urging changes in
the bill. Today there were representa-
tives OF the tobacco, leather, pottery,
stained Rlass, fire brick, thread and jute
interests in the city.
The Democratic members OF the senate
finance committee took up the sugar
schedule, only to decide to postpone
further consideration until next Monday,

The sINGLE-rAxsRs ACTIVE.

At the meeting of the Singletsx club
in this city on Friday night, the presi-
dent of the club announced that the
principle for which they are contending
is making rapid progress in this country,
and that the number of converts to the
single-tax theory is rapidly increasing.
He also said that some OF the leading
orgsns of public opinion are treating the
doctrine with friendly consideration,
and many OF the leading thinkers OF the
country have espoused their cause. We
have no doubt whatever that the presi-
dent has confined himself to the truth
in his statement. The single-tax theory
has attractive claims upon the favor Of
the speculative mind, and when we con-
sider the great object lessons we are con-
stantly receiving Of the impunity with
which the wealthieet people in the coun-
try eyade taxation, and the unjust and
unequal methods by which it is now i'm
posed, we are not astonished that honest,
thinking people are ready to receive
with favor any method which promises
fundamental principle of the Henry
George theory isthst all wealth is de.
rived from land. and therefore if land
alone Is taxed the taxation must come
equally out of all. But the system is
made inevitably equitable, he claims. by
the taxation OF land in accordance with
its value, so that farm land would only
be assessed relatively to the value of its
productions, whilst land in the cities
would be assessed according to the value
it would have if improved. This would
do away, in great measure, with the
practice of holding lots vacant until their
value had been greatly enhanced by the
improvements of the owners OF sur
rounding property. The single-taxers,
in reply to the claim that under their
system the capitalists who are rich in
securities and movable wealth would
escape from the assessment rolls, cay
that this class now evade taxation that
the Goulds, the Vanderbilts and the
Sages, whilst they are worth millions
upon millions. and their checks are
good at the banks for any amount. yet
when the assessor comes round they are
found to be almost worthless for the
purpose of taxation. The principle is
undoubtedly correct that just taxation
lie that which will reach everybody
equally according to capacity for paying
it. This principle is by no means
reach ed by the present method. The
owners of tangible wealth cannot
escape and have to pay. The
owners of that wealth which
can be made to elude the assessor, ard
which is actually as great in volume as
the tangible wealth of the country, es-
cape taxation. Our present system is
glsringly detective; but would the
George system practically work the tax
alton reform its advocates claim that it
would? One objection to the single
tax party is that it is a party. It's prin-
ciple. il sound, should be grated upon
the platforms of one or both of the
leading parties that do not confine them
selves to the advocacy of a single ques-
ton of national Importance. To this
end the single-taxers should bend their
energies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. News of the
seizure OF Greytown by troops OF the
Nicaraguen government, unotficially re-
ceived here today, is not believed to in
dictate that American interests have
been placed in jeopardy. The idea that
the Mosquito territory, lying within the
limits of Nicaragua, and including
Greytown, lie under British protection,
is shown by the official records to be
erroneous. All the arrangements which
the United States has made or attempt
ed, touching the Nicaragua canal, have
been directly with the Nicsraguan gov
eminent. No official intercourse has
been had with the local authorities at
Grey town, and our consular agent at the

IT is to be hoped that the attendance
at the midwinter fair will increase from
this time forward. 1t richly deserves q
liberal patronage and no doubt it will
receive it when the interior counties
come to understand that the exhibits
are in good shape for inspection. 1t is
doubtful if the people of San Francisco
are giving it the recognition to which it
is entitled ON all grounds. We are led
to this conclusion more particularly by
the fact that the Oriental village con-
csssionaires have been attached; the
patronage which has been accorded
to this really highly unique and
interesting portion of the exhibit not
having been anything like the expecta-
tons of its projectors. The weather
has also been anything but satisfactory,
having been rainy and cold. Consider
ing all the disadvantages under which
they have lsbo.ed, the managers OF the
fair have done wonders. The people of
California owe it to themselves to make
the fair pecuniary success. That it lie
that already from an artistic point of
view no one can doubt who has Visited

A novel and extremely interesting
experiment is soon to be tried in Ohio.
announces the New York Tribune. It
is new departure in road improve
ment, which is claimed by its author
to have points of marked superiority
over the building of macadamized
roads. The plan is to extend the cleo.
trio railway tracks from cities and
towns into the surrounding country,
and to construct the roads in such a
way that they can be used for wagons
and carriages drawn by horses as well
as by cars. OF course there will be a
great saving in horse power wherever
such roads are used, since far heavier
loads can be drawn on steel tracks
with the same force. In two counties
of Ohio trial will be made of this sys-
tenn the present year. 1t need hardly
be said that the result will be awaited
with much interest not only in Ohio,
but in other States. The question of
road improvement is filling a large
place in the public mind nowadays,
and anything in the direction of solv-
ing it is sure of earnest and respectful
attention. Something similar to the
Ohio idea was suggested by an Eng
lish writer years ago, but nothing, We
believe, eyer came of it.

Some interesting facts present them
selves as to the social condition of the
people of the United States in study
of the statistics of the Census Bureau,
remarks the Boston Herald. The
Census was taken on June l, 1890,
and then out of 32,067, $50 male in.
habitants of this country the un.
married numbered 19.945, 576. The
married were IL, 205, 22S, the widowed
were S15, 437 and the divorced were
40, ,1O1. Out of 80, 554, $40 female in
habitants II, 1873, 984 were single, H.,
1876, 1876 we're married, 2,154, ,615 were
widows and II 1896 were divorced. The
number OF married females is thus
much larger than the proportion of
married men, and the fact that the
proportion of widows is three times as
great as the proportion of widowers,
and the number of divorced women
much larger than the number of di-
yoreed men, shows that the men who
are widowers and divorced more fire.
quently married again than women in
the same condition, Again, it is
shown that, by comparing the in
habitants of fifty principal cities with
the country at large, the greater pro-
portion of married men are in the
cities rather than in the country.
This is contrary to expectation, and
the percentage of married males in the
cities is one per cent higher than it is
on the average in the country. In
classifying the divorced persons, it is
found that they are most numerous in
the western division, and least numer-
GUS in Delayare, Maryland, Virginia,
the two Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.
In Maryland the proportion of mar
riages is exceptionally high and yet in
that State there are three times as
many widows as there are widowers.
Divorces are more common at tbs
West than in the East These are .
few of the facts that appear in the
study of the Census from the point Of
view Of the conjugal relation.

Tho strong facial resemblance which
married couples often acquire after
living together long period OF years,
harmonious in thought and feeling,
and subject to the same conditions in
life, has often been commented upon.
The Photographic Society, of Geneva,
recently took the pictures of seventy
eight couple for an investigation of
this subject. The result was that in
twenty-four cases the resemblance in
the personal appearance of the 'hus-
band and wife was greater than that
of brother and sister in thirty cases
it was equally great and in only
twenty-four was there total absence
of Resemblance.
