INCOME TAX AMENDING.

The putting into operation OF the in
come tax law already results in amend
ing that outrageous measure. Congress
has just adopted resolution extending
the time Of making returns of incomes
for 1894 from the first Monday in March
to the 10Th day of April. This will give
opportunity to straighten out your in
come, and finding out what it is under
the law as we'll as for getting the blank
rules down fine.
The following sections of the resolu-
tion are also of interest:
That, In computing incomes under said act
the amounts necessarily paid for fire insur-
ance premiums and for ordinary repairs upon
any.real estate shall be deducted from the
rents accrued or received from such real
estate.
That In computing incomes under said act
the amounts received as dividends upon the
stock Of any corporation, company or associa-
tion shall not be included. In case such divi-
dends are also liable to the tax of two per
cent upon the net profits of said corporation,
company or association, although such tax
may not have been actually paid by said cor
poration, company or association at the time
of making returns by the person, corporation
or association receiving such dividends.
No change is made, however, for the
encouragement of marriage, by resolu-
tion or amendment, that will do away
with the provision that ii fellow
whose income is $4,000 and girl whose
income Is $4,000, indulge in wedding
the total income, being then $4,000, sh all
be subject TO the tax, whereas If they
remain apart they save their respective
incomes untaxed.

BRITTAIA rules the wave yet. Great
Britain induced the maritime nations Of
the world to adopt code of ocean
signals, to go into effect in March, and
now she has induced them to postpone
their putting in force. Practical sea-
faring men of all nations, however,
seem to agree that the changes most
important, fog signalling for instance, are
far too complicated, and it is said that
layinen with weird devices ruled the
conference that adopted the code, rather
than practical mariners. 1t Is pity,
though, that the latter could not have
fled their exceptions sooner, as two
years have elapsed since the conference
met.

$4,000 FOR DORMITORY.

The dormitory at the State Agricul
tural College at Kingston that was
burned down cost about $33, 900.
Seventy thousand dollars, however, is
wanted for new one.
A resolution to appropriate that sum
for that purpose is now in the finance
committee of the Senate.
The finance committee ought to cut it
in two, at least, before reporting it.
Seventy thousand dollars is decidedly
too much money for the purpose.
At all events, the finance committee
will need have to present pretty clear
reasons for erecting $4,000 palace
down on the Kingston desert.
And we don't believe good reasons
can be adduced.
