after failing health of about years
duration. She received a nervous shock
year ago, which was the beginning
of her loss of health. The home in
which she resided in West Haven, near
the Consolidated road depot took fire
and was burned to the ground. The
excitement of the OCCASION, coupled
with her narrow escape from death at

and paved the way for the fatal mala-
dy which overlook her. She was a
loving, devoted wife and mother and
highly estimable friend and neighbor.

More Commissions Needed.

If the proposed bill is what 1t pur-
ports to be, viz: "a measure to pro-
vide cleaner and healthier bread for
the people," your correspondent would
be glad to sign the petition, and to nave
the bill enacted into a law. But the
thing looks more like scheme to Gre
ate a new political plum and to

CHINA'S REVENUES.

China's revenues are collected in a
way Enthusiastically absurd, but in
ordinary times an amount sufficiently
great to meet the necessitiesof the i'm
perial government at Pekin always
came in. No one knows, even approxi-
mately, how much is extorted from the
people by the agents of the different
Provincial governors, but it is an
amount considerably, perhaps enor-
mously, greater than ever finds its way
to the national treasury. Since the war
with Japan, China has become a bor
rover from foreign capitalists and this
fact has led to a somewhat careful in
vestigation Of the country's resources.
This has proved to be a work of great
difficulty, for accounts are never audi
ted, and only imperfect reports Of the
sums raised annually are printed in
the Pekin Gazette. For the purpose of
China is an agglomeration of many
quasi-independent provincial govern
ments. No part of the national income
is collected directly by the imperial
government All the collectors of the
revenue are the agents of the provincial
governors and responsible to them
All the money collected is first paid into
the treasury, or one Of the provincial
treasures, for there are several of them
in every province, and thereafter is re-
mitted according tothe apportionment
of the year. partly to Pekfn, partly for
local government needs, and partly, If
there is a surplus, in aids to less
wealthy provinces. After the demands
of Pekin are satisfied all the rest of the
taxation would appear to belong to the
provincial authorities to spend as they
may please. There are always some
extraordinary or contingent demands
left unsatisfied or carried forward to
the next year-demands for famine re-
| lief, repairs to the Yellow river, rebel
| lions and risings in remote provinces,
and lastly there is the recently consti-
tuted Admiralty board whose wants
are never satisfied. Those provinces
which have any surplus respond more
or less reluctantly to those extraordina-
ry demands; the poorer provinces neg
| lect them altogether. In this way all
| the revenue is absorbed from year to
year There never is any reduction in
| taxation. Whatever change is made is
| always in the opposite direction. The
general relations between the imperial
and the local authorities as to the divi-
sion of taxation may be summed up
| by saying that the Pekin authorities
are constantly trying to extract as
| much as possible, while the local au-
| thorities are continually trying to part
| with as little as possible.-New York
| Times.

THE RuMoRs or K4R.

1.-THE land of scholars and the nurse
of arms" appears to be as diplomatic as
she is forcible Her smooth reply to the
powers seems to have brought Great
Britain, France and Italy into agree
ment in regard to the policy which shall
be Immediately pursued toward the
Greeks. They are said to hold that CO.
ercion of the Greeks in Crete ought to
be delayed in view of the pacific nature
of the Greek reply to the powers. Thus
instead of war, we have more negotia-
tons, and the whole difficulty may fin
ally be negotiated to sleep.
The sympathy of the people of Eu-
rope is so much with Greece that their
dealing with the situation, but it is
truly pointed out that there are power
full reasons why some of the powers
Germany, for instance-cannot sustain
King George in his demands. In nut
Sllcll Tic COlltGllllOn VI Tie SEGtkS Is
that Crete was formerly a portion of
Greece; that it was wrested from her by
conquest; that the people are Greeks by
descent that they speak the language
of Greece and observe the same form of
religion, and that the Cretans are unan-
imousi in the desire to again become a
part of the kingdom of Greece If the
wishes of both Greece and Crete are to
be respected in this demand, what will
prevent the people of Alsace-Lorraine
from demanding that they be detached
from Germany and reunited to France
The people speak the French language;
they are, most of them, of French ex-
traction; they were separated from
France by conquest, and would well
come a reunion with France. If these
arguments hold good in the case of
Crete, why do they not hold good in the
case of Alsaee-Lorraine? Russia has
also unhappy Poland to consider.
But whatever happens there is not
likely to be a war. None of the great
powers Of Europe can afford to do more
than to seem ready to fight.
