DILUTING THE SOIL.
Complaint Against the Sellers Farm
management.

The sanitary inspectors are preparing to
retaliate upon those persons who ignore no
tees to clean up their premises when such
notices are served upon them. Hardly a
day passes that some of the inspectors do
not have to go the second and third time
to some person and renew notice to clean
up premises. They say they are getting
tired of this duplication of work, and will
very soon begin to make arrests for failure
to obey notices instead of serving a second
notice.
Complaint has been made to the Office of
the Board of Health that the contractors
at Sellers farm are not burying the night
soil, but are diluting it and rendering it
liquid and then turning ii into White river.
Residents in the southwestern part of the
city say that the stencil arising from this
dumping of the night soil into the river is
exceedingly obnoxious to them.

THE SEWER ROUTE CHANGE.
Expense VIII BE Heavier to Della
ware-Street Property Owners.

City Engineer Brown says the change in
the route of tho upper section of what is
known as the Mississippi-street sewer
amounts TO absolutely nothing, so far as
the sewer system is concerned. He says
the reason for running the sewer to Ala
bama street and thence north instead of
north on Delaware street to Home avenue
was that the Board of Works did not de-
sire to cut into the Delaware-street pave
ment at this time. He says that instead
OF relieving the property owners on North
Delaware street of expense the change will
probably make the expense to them some
what heavier as they will have to bear
the additional expense of local sewers. The
water at the corner of Home avenue and
Delaware street Is to be carried away by
the construction of catch basins to con-
meet with private sewer. and petition
asking the board TO construct these basins
is now being circulated among the owners
of this sewer. When a new pavement is
laid upon Delaware street a sewer is to
be built from the alley north of st. Joseph
street to Seventh street, taking in the
route proposed by the sewer which has
been changed.

CLEyELAND's BRAZILIAN POLICY.

1t is pleasant to find one point in Mr..
Clevefand's foreign poll y that commands
general Approval He has made no mis-
takes in respect to Brazil. When Admiral
Beuham's assertion Of authority over
American merchant vessels that were de-
MED a landing by the insurgent fleet al
lilo practically ended the re bellio the ad-
ministration was prompt in commencing
the admiraPs action. And later. when
protection was given an English trader
the admiral was sustained in this more
doubtful exercise OF power. As soon as
Admiral da Cana found that the British
Government would not protest against the
action of the American admiral he began
to plan to save his own neck. What would
have been the result Of the rebellion II
Admiral Benhsm had been less Jealous in
defense Of American interests. or the
President less firm in assurance Of sup
port, no one can say. The decision of the
administration not to join in the request OF
the British and italian Ministers to the
Brazilian Government to withdraw the de-
mand upon the Portuguese Government
for the surrender of Da Cana and other
officers is in line with the policy already
established. France and Germany have
also declined the British invitation to in.
terfere to save Da Cana. For once Amer

CHARACTERISTIC GREED.

Controller Fitch of New York City has
protested against the feature in the income
tax bill which includes in taxable incomes
'the value of any personal property re-
ceived by gift, devise or inheritance"
The Times supports this protest with the
remark that a tax upon inheritance, in
stead OF being a tax upon incomes. is a
confiscation of certain portion Of the
principal. As all taxes are lawful con-
fscation of certain portion of the in-
dividuaps property it would seem that a
tax on property got without labor and
without cost would be in an especial sense
iustifa BILE. But the New York papers
regard with suspicion any law which aims
to make rich men pay fair proportion of
the burden of Government. Controller
Fitch says that some of the States have
an inheritance tax and the Federal law
proposes to duplicate it. From his reas
ing one would infer that the Federal Gov
eminent must refrain from levying a tax
in forty-three States If such tax would
duplicate tax levied by the forty-four III
State. The whole income-tax system is
Objectionable in the fact that the Federal
Government has not the machinery to
secure its impartial execution. But tax
on inheritances seems about as easy tax
to be borne as any the law can devise.

AN EXPERIMENT.

Some years ago Michigan abolished
capital punishment by law. The differ
encs between Michigan and California in
this respect is that the former said there
should be no death penalty in that State
and saw that there was none, while Cali
fornia kept the death penalty 10 her stat
ute-book, but applied the penalty to the
law instead of applying it TO murderers.
But the Michigan method is not much
more satisfactory to the law-abiding peo-
pie than the Californian method. In both
States the crimes usually made pun ish a BILE
by death have increased out of proportion
to the increase in the country at large.
The principal argument in favor of the
abolition of capital punishment is that
with milder penalty the punishment pre-
seribed would be more sure. But this re-
suit has not followed in Michigan. Dur
ing the last year only % per cent of the
per sons generally believed to have been
guilty of murder were convicted, and of
those convicted only per cent received
the extreme sentence prescribed by law.
Mich igan and California seem, therefore,
have travelled by different routes to the
same end,

is. the spy system, under which mems

This arrangement seems to have worked
up the people of Darlington into a state
OF frenzy. They chased the State con-
stables out of the town, and for a time
had them hemmed up in a swamp. They
also demolished the dispensary, and in
these. wild doipgs many people were
