THE REvENuE Law.

Now that u one subject that every
fellow thinks be knows something
about. That means paying taxes:
everybody pays taxes, hence everyone
knows Just what the revenue law
lacks to make It perfection. And yet
there is more bungling done IN the
chapter on revenue than In all the
other laws together. II there Is any
matter which requires technical
knowledge. knowledge gained bv per-
sonal experience and years ofstudy, 1t
is the revenue law.
From the time Of the beginning Of
the statehood the old revenue law
had been gradually amended until in
most Of It's provisions, -it had become
quite perfect, but somehow. at the
time Of the codiacation, q so-called
new law was interpolated, and
straightway We went back ten years.
II seems to us the business of the
auditor and treasurer in handling the
finances Of the county, ought to be
made az simple q matter as 1t is In
banks or other financial institutions,
and yet no banking or other finan-
clal institution In the land could be
hired to use the roundabout and
clumsy methods the law compels in
county bookkeeping.
1t occurs to US, that In the collect
ion and disbursement of money by
the county on1cials, these general prin-
ciples should be kept in view and all
methods and bookkeeping be made
accordingly. First. that it is the sole
business Of the treasurer to receive,
care for. and pay out money.
Second, that it is the busines, of
the auditor, and only his business, to
make receipts and vouchers, wheth-
er for moneys received or paid. That
is. the treasurer is cashier, and the
auditor the book-keeper.
There is no sense or added security
In both these oficials keeping dupli.
cate accounts as they now do, but
there is much added cost for salaries
and books. Let the treasurer take
care Of the cash, that is care and re-
sponsibility enough for him; let the
auditor keep the accounts and be re-
sponslble for the payments, that is
the work that he should do, and If
this adds responsibility, as it does,
|put up his bonds to correspond.

THE DINaLEYH BILL.

THE DIN0LEY BILL.
Tho congress which has just as
sembled or rather the republican ma
jDrity, are In considerable Of q quand-
ary as to tarlff measures.
First, there is pressing and Inn
mediate necessity for an increased
tariff because the government expen.
ditures exceed its revenue. Second.
the principles of protection to Ameri-
can manufactures are but weakly
represented in the Wilson, German act
under which revenues are now collect
ed. Third, President Cleveland is
very likely to veto even q bill as mild
as the Dingley bill, because to sign it
would be direct condemnation of his
own policy. Fourth, about five or six
silver senators Of republican tariff
ideas may or may not be willing to al
low any legislation on the tariff; as
they once before blocked the passage
Of the Dingley. bill and may do it
again. 1t may be possible however
for the republicans to frame q bill
with a slight increase ''for revenue
only" which some of the gold demo
Gratis and perhaps populist or two
might support. Fifth, the passage Of
SO mild an act as the DingleY bill
would become bar to the passage
hereafter of stronger and more pro-
tective act.
For all these reasons and some 9TH
ers it is hardly probable that any re-
venue act will be passed at all this
winter, but in that event it is every
way probable that President McKin-
ley will call an extra session immedia-
tely after his Inauguration. and then
all parties will 20 at it, hammer and
tongs, though we doubt il any new
tariff act is finally passed before next
fall
Meantime, however. the balance Of
trade Is in our favor and the gold re-
serve gets larger every day, which
shows that confidence in the final set
tlement and adjustment Of our rev.
enues and expenditures 10 certain.

Daring Plan In Sing Sing Prison to Is
cape Through Window.
SING SING, Oct. 2l.-Wardon Sage OF
Sing Sing prison nipped in the bud q
clever attempt on the part Of a convict in
the hospital to escape The identity OF
the man is not known positively, but
there is pretty strong suspicion attached
to a certain man who was removed from
the hospital few days ago.
At all events some one had cut half a
dozen Of the bars of window I'm the room
which was occupied by Maria Barberi
while she was in prison. This apartment
adjoins the hospital proper. The attempt
at escape was discovered by means of q
system Warden Sage has inaugurated OF
having all Of the bars of windows tested
at stated intervals
The keeper found half a dozen of the
iron bars sawed all but through, just
enough being left to keep them in place,
and the cuts we're hidden by little pieces
of wood and a covering of lime. Had the
plan remained undiscovered tho fugitive
would have had a long distance to LOT
himself down TO the ground, but there
was plenty Of bedolothing about the hos
pital, and a rope could easily have. boeE
constructed out Of It.
Half a dozen or more inmates of the
hospital may have been in the scheme, but
only one in particular was seen on differ
ent occasions to be lettering in the Bar
beri room.
