BOSTON LETTER.

The death, this week, lat hotel here,
of William Corners, G. A. r. man of
Burlington, VT, by asphyxiationf from
gas, in his sleeping apartment, calls
attention once more to the unprece-
dented number of horrible fatalities,
both accidental and intentional, of
this nature here this winter. Only
last week, man living in boarding
house on Hancock street, in highly
respectable part of the city, killed
himself and the woman who had been
supposed to be his wife, by waiting
until she was asleep and then shutting
the room tightly, opening all four of
the burners in the room, and then
calmly going to bed himself, to die.
In the case of Connors, death was
probably accidental, only one burner
being found open, and that only part
ly So One explanation which has
been given of the many accidents this
winter is that the war which has been
waged between the rival gas compa-
mics, and which has resulted in bring
ing the price of gas down to dollar
thousand feet, has led to cheaper man
ufacture out of less pure material, in
such way as to render the gas more
deadly. At the same time it is said
that the flame is more liable to flick

PALMERsS LEVEL HEAD.

Chairman Hinrichsen has a great
head, as we took pains to demon
strate the other day, but Senator
Palmer has level head, and level
heads are better in an emergency
than the great ones. Level heads
remember things big ones forget.
Level heads don't get Hurried when
ever lot Of asininities begin bray
ing, and they know that the bub-
bles blown by these catchpennies are
nothing but bubbles, and will burst
at the first prick of fact.
senator Palmer remembers a time
not so long ago when the Demo-
cratic party, dominated by it's OBJ
portunists, fellows cold and hungry
ana wistful of the warm places by
the pie counter, thought that the
rag baby was a promising infant
that, II they took it to their arms
to nurse, would go into lusty
strength and open for them the
doors to the restaurant of official
pap, and he remembers how that lit
tie venture into the slums set back
INC CuduceS Oh party success for
years. He knows that the great
mass of the voters of this country
can't be caught and permanently
held by such lime. He knows how
to discount mere noise, having
learned that 1'the shadows murmur
while the deeps run still"
And so the brave old senator VET
eran of many conflicts, sounds the
note OF warning: tells Democrats to
be Democrats and not slobberers:
tells them that free coinage is a
ranker protection than Mckinley
Ism, and that the men who think
with him cannot be dragocned into
movement which tears Democratic
principles into tatters and makes
them rags to cover but not hide
political prostitution. They will re-
main Democratic whatever hap

ferred as chattels to the silver party
nor driven out of the Democratic
party by the action of a convention
avowedly called by the state COM
mittee to sanstion the abandonment

Snap for sockless Statesmen.

The day of paper collars passed
away some years ago, and though pa

AIDES back, that cheap article Of
haberdashery has almost disappeared
from the market. But there is promise
that it will have a worthy successor in
the paper sock, which is the latest
novelty TO be ground out of the pulp
mill. The mechanism has been per-
fected to produce a paper yarn of such
consistency that it is capable of being
woven into fabrics soft enough for
wear. A special merit is the cheap
ness of this newly-devised material
socks being produced at a retail price
of about three cents a pair. At this
rate there is no reason why the whole
world may not be supplied with foot
covering. No longer will the market
value OF soclzless statesmen from the
West be high; no, longer will bare feet
be emblems of honest poverty. States
men may make contracts with puID
mills to grind their own speeches into
hosiery, and there will be plenty of
excuse in such future for Florida
senator's to take their boots off while
on duty. At three cents a pair, the
bachelors life will become gladstone
and happy. 1t is said that substances
can be used in the preparation OF this
material to make the socks so i'm
pervious to water that they can stand
several washings before falling apart.
This, too, is a great boon. May the
three-cent paper sock have a ready
market! May it be followed by ten

AN EyIscEpATEp TAx.

The supreme court of the United
States holds the income tax uncon-
stitutionaI as to incomes derived
from rents or use of land, and as to
those derived from the bonds of
states and municipalities, and sus-
tains the rest Of the act by a divid-
ed vote, half of the sitting judges
holding it, with Justice Field, to be
unconstitutional in toto. This
decision was foreshadowed in a
Washington special of the Chicago
Tribune, but that court guards it's
decisions so well that the report,
now shown to have been correct,
was regarded as the surmise of some
ingenious correspondent.
1t is not difficult to comprehend
the ground which exempts from
federal taxation the income de-
rived from state or municipal bonds.
There is force in the argument that
this is a power that might be used
to impair the very existence of a
state, where the movement of it's
machinery depended on raising
revenue by loans. But it
is more difficult to compre-
bend the decision that in
comes derived from rentals or other
use OF real estat tie is a direct tax and,
as the tax is not apportioned among
the states, that it violates the con-
stitution. The difficulty is not that
1t goes as far as it does. but that it
GOES not go farther in the same
logical line. In its last ANALYSIS all
income comes from the use of land.
Inc man who derives his income
from extracting ore from the land
Is an exempted user of lands. The
man Who derives an income from
the stumpage of land is equally
user With the man who builds
mouse and rents it, Carried far
ther the manufacturer uses the pro-
oocts OF land in his business. and
logically falls within the exempted
classes. The merchant deals with
the product of land at second or
third hands, and his income should
De exempt. Finally, as no income
Whatever finds its source anywhere
out in the land all incomes are
exempt. To this end the logic of
THIS decision runs.
The effect is to eviseerate the tsx
and render it's repeal certain. For
Ihls We have no regret. We have
never felt that anything moro
was to be said in its favor
that that it was better than
a tariff tax, because it laid
tribute on the surplus, after
wants were provided for, instead of
making exactions first. On anotber
ground We have no quarrel with the
conclusion the court has reached

MANITOBA MIDDLE.

Several prominent Canadians were in
town yesterday, among them Hon. +.
w. Colcleugh, member of the provin-
cial parliament from Selkirk; W. w.
Mcmillan, an eX-member of the same
body and brother Of Hon. D. H. Nc
MILAN, treasurer of the province, and
j. II. Dexter, one of the prominent
lawyers of Winnipeg. The last-named
gentleman consented to speak of the
threatened danger to the Canadian
confederation growing out of the recent
order in council advising the Manitoba
ministry to restore the former status
of the separate schools of the Catholic
church.
Eat present, of course, the case is
in allegiance" he said. Under the
impression that the Manitoba legis-
iature would act at once on the order
the dominion parliament is called to
meet April is. But the provincial min
istry declared a recess until May: s.
and in consequence, when the session
conyenes at Ottawa, there will be moth
ing to act on. In the meantime Pre-
mier Greenway and his cabinet will
give the most thorough consideration
to the subject. That the order in coun-
ell will be disregarded is felt to be
certain, because public sentiment Is
too strongly set against any other
course
what is likely to be the result of
rejection of the order?' he was asked.
THAT is hard to tell, under the
circumstances. But some very influ-
entail men feel that If an attempt
should be made to enforce the order,
it might result in petition from Mani
toba that the province be made an in
dependent crown colony, such as Aus
tralia is. In the event of a movement
of that character being successful, the
school question would be settled by
Manitoba in her own way, without IN
reference of any sort from outside"
Do you think it possible that Mani
toba will ever become part of the
American Union?'
Loyalty to the flag and to the SOW
ereign is strong in Canada and while
some of the younger folks may pos
sibly dream of such an outcome in the
distant future, at present it is not at
all likely. One thing, though. is going
to add greatly to Manitoba's greatness.
and that is the projected railroad from
Winnipeg to Hudson's bay 1t will ira
verse a country $50 miles in extent, and
clean to the Saskatchewan river will
run through as fine farming and graz
ing lands as can be. found anywhere.
The dominion council has recommended
a subsidy of So, SOC, coo, and it is very
likely that the parliament at Ottawa
will pass an act granting such a SUBJ
sidy for the construction of the road.
In the region beyond the Saskatchewan
there are mineral riches, and the fish
cries of Hudson's bay would be wonder
fully developed by the building of the
road

Practical Tariff Reform.

Philadelphia Record.
Ex-Congressman TON" Johnson, Of
Ohio, conspicuous in the Industrial
world as one of the largest iron manu-
facturers in this country, and in the
political world for the earnestness
with which he championed tariff re-
form in the Fifty-third congress, has
literally proven his faith by his works,
one Of the largest of which is the new
S5O0O,OO0 plant at Lorain, O., which
was set in notion by his own hand
Monday last. The starting of such an
industry in Gov. McKinley's common
wealth is undeniable proof that Mr..
Johnson has the sincerity of his con-
victions; and it is one more demonstra-
ton of the truth that the industrial
system of the country of which iron
is the type is surely getting on it's feet
again and making ready to enter the
lists for the markets of the world.
