Mr.. HoAR's DEATH.

The death of John T. Hoar at the
police station last Sunday seems to
call for a searching investigation on
the part of the Police Committee OF
the Board of Aldermen. It is generally
understood that the young man was i'll
instead of being under the Influence OF
liquor, and the stupidity of the officers
in charge through the night is said to
have been reprehensible. 1t is on q
par with the drowning accident at the
reservoir some time since when body
was kept dangling on the surface of the
water by q pompous officer awaiting
the arrival of the Medical Examiner,
instead of being taken ashore.
The inhumanity or carelessness of the
officials in charge is apparent when the
young mans relatives were not even
notified until he was dead, although
his condition was observed and was
such as to warrant his removal to q bed
in the women's quarters.
Il is high time that an official was
put in charge Of the night service at
the station who knew the difference be-
tween sickness and drunkenness, and
after discovering the difference, knew
how to act accordingly. We hope the
circumstances of Mr.. Hoar's death will
be inquired into most rigidly.

the SEAL QUESTION.

1t Is not likely, from present indica-
tions, that the treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, under
which settlement may be had OF the
claims of the Canadian sealers against
this country Will be formulated before
next autumn. Meanwhile the rule
which applied to the fishing season in
Behring Sea last year will remain in
force until some agreement shall have
been reached. The contention Of
American experts is that the seals are
being rapidly exterminated. The Ca
nadians insist that the methods en-
ployed of late years have not di-
minished the herds, It is believed by
the representatives of both the Ameri-
can and British governments that
commission of experts should be formed
to visit the islands and report upon the
actual situation. President Cleveland
proposed the appointment OF such
commission last January. The fact
that Congress adjourned without max
ing any provision for it is assigned as
probably one reason why Great Britain
has made no formal reply to this sug-
gestlon, and the proverbial procrasti-
nation of Canadian officials in dealing
with fisheries questions (Which was 30
pointedly referred to by Mr.. Bayard
when Secretary Of State) is given as
another possible reason why no action
has been had in the matter.

The predicament Of the income tax
law is getting worse and worse. As q
matter Of fact, the calamitous conse-
quences of the Supreme Courts deci-
sion, or rather indecision, multiply
apace. The decision has the effect Of
taking tho life out Of the law, impeach-
ing its validity, tainting its pseudo
virtue and questioning its authority,
and yet 1t leaves many Of the most OBJ
jectionable features Of the law in ac-
tive operations legacy Of CONFUSION
and distress, o fruitful source Of strife.
It exempts one class Of incomes from
taxation and leaves the other an open
question. The great landed proprie-
tors 90 free. The comparatively poor
mnst fight. Complications in great
number will inevitably ensue. Thou
sands Of law suits will be instituted to
test the constitutionality Of the clauses
left untouched by the court. The
country knows now that half the su-
preme bench have declared the law to
be unconstitutional, and two Of the re-
manning four believe IL to be 30, and
would have 90 ruled had the case come
10 them as IN "origlnal question" The
country knows, furthermore, that with
the return to the bench OF Justice
jackson or his retirement for the ap-
pointment of o successor, the matter
must be taken up again. IL was not

for the good of the people, for the well
fare OF society or for the interest OF the
govern mont that the question should
be left in the present deplorable con-
fusion and uncertainty and it will be
difficult to make thinking men believe
that eight learned and trained jurists
should not have agreed upon something
definite and conclusive as to the law
in toto.

Why 1900 is Not a Leap Year.

That 1896 will be Il leap year is an adj
mitted fact but that 1900 will not be
leap year was settled long ago. By an
act passed in 1751 it was settled that the
calendar should be reformed in a num-
Der of particulars. From January 1,
1852, the civil year was fixed to COM
mence on that date and not on March
%. as many had it. In the same year
-1752-eleven days were to fall out,
from the 31st to the 18th inclusive, so
that what would have been the 18th was
made the Sd, after which the reckoning
proceeded as if nothing had happened.
Thence it followed that what would
have been December 25 became January
5, and was called Old Christmas day.
regularly after that. but in 1900 no leap
year was recorded, and in 1901 Old
Christmas day fell on January 6, as it
does now. There will be another like
change at the real fin de steele, or end
of the century, for 1900 is not to be a
leap year, and 1901 is to be 1.-The fifth
after bisseXtile or leap year, and the first
year of the Twentieth century" Any
how, this was the form adopted in rid
er's British Merlin" for 1901. The first
leap year of this century was in 1904
and is so described in the almanacs of
the time. MOore's Almanac for 1900
calls the year the fourth after bisseXtile
or leap year and gives to February TWEEN
ty-eight days only. In like manner 1902
is called the sixth and 1903 the seventh
after leap year. Odd as this may seem,
we are going to do the same thing after
next year, so that for seven years there
will be no February % for any ami
versaries. 1t will be rather hard on
some people who have been born or
married on that eccentric date. The or
iginal edition of the act of Parliament
which settled these things looked for
ward long way. 1t now lies before US,
and it says that the years 1900, 1900,
2100, 220O, 23OO. or any other hundredth
year of our Lord in time to come Except
every fourth hundredth year beginning
with A. d. 20O0), shall consist of 365
days only. The world is kindly reminded
that the year 1000, 24OO, $500, ETC., will
be leap years; but we say nothing about
them, because they will not affect US,
however it may happen with posterity.-
