the New York Inheritance
Tax Law.

While some of the newspapers are
abstracting editorials and editorial para
graphs from the article in the MAY
Forum, by New York's comptroller, Mr..
Roberts, on the graduated inheritance
tax law recently enacted by the Legis-
lature of that State, it should be borne
in mind that Governor Black has not
yet signed that enactment. 1t may be-
come a law of the Empire State by the
Governors signature, but that official,
it is said, has doubts as to the consti-
nationality and the wisdom or expedi-
ency of the measure. Comptroller
Roberts favorable judgment is the
judgment of parent upon his own
progeny, for the bill that has been
passed embodies his ideas on this SUBJ
ject as set forth in his last annual re-
port. 1t is worthy of note, further,
that Comptroller Fitch, of the City OF
New York, and Edward P. Barker,
president of the State Tax Commission,
both officers of the highest qualiAca-
tons for their posts, are opposed to the

Defacing the Landscape.

Vermont invites summer visitors.
Her large railway corporations publish
annually pamphlets made attractive by
cut and description, setting forth her
rural charms, illustrating the beauty of
her scenery and the pleasure of sum-
mer life among her hills and mountains
and in the cool, sequestered wales
through which flow her brooks and
larger streams. The State itself, at a
considerable expense, prints and circu-
lates glowing advertisement of the in
ducement she offers the residents of
the cities and the warmer regions to
the South to come out from among
their heated walls, or from under firm
ament that melt with fervent heat,
and by summer residence among the
Green Hills recuperate exhausted ener-
~ and take in an added store for fu-
ture drafts. The Governor publishes
annually an Arbor Day proclamation,
urging the people to plant trees and by
other means contribute to the beauti-
flying of the State.
All this is very proper, but its force
is somewhat dulled when the tourist
looks from the car window out upon
the ashes and blackened trunks of

THE New York Sun OF a recent date said
in regard to Buffalo Bills Wild West Show,
that exhibits in Montpelier, Wednesday,
June 16; "Let the circus take heed and look
to its laurels q bit. There will be another
show on earth, greater than the greatest II
present crowds continue at Madison Square
Garden and II the metropolitan verdict sig
mites aught OF the Wild West Shows sue
cess in the country at large. Buffalo Bill
never met with hearter reception than he
has had this year, and certainly no better
big show was ever presented in town than
his present exhibition of rough riding and
sports manship. Soldiers give martial as
pect to the performance, and at the conclu-
sion the great review OF COWBOYS, Indians,
Gauchos, Mexicans, Cossacks and Arabs,
filling the whole arena, takes the house by
| storm. Never was big show better plan
ned in every detail, nor conducted as
whole with greater vim and despatch. At.
tractive specialties were the tumbling Of the
Arabs and the gyroscope work with lasso
by some Of the Mexicans."
r. 9. KENNEDY OF Burlington, one OF the
promoters OF the electric railroad in this
| city and Barre was in town last week. He
stated that the road will be built this sum-
mer, and that work on the Same will be
commenced about June 1. Mr. Kennedy
was accompanied by VT. Nash Of Woon-
socket, r. l., a civil engineer, and these
| gentlemen drove over the streets in Mont
pelier on which 1t is proposed to build the
| road. and over the ground between here
| and Barre where the line has been surveyed.
| The question OF power was discussed, and
| whether 1t would be advisable to build q
power house in the vicinity OF Dodge bridge,
or use electricity from the plant of j. 8.
Viles at Middlesex. This matter was not
definitely settled. Mr.. Kennedy stated that
sixty-foot rails will be used, instead OF
thirty-foot, as at first intended. j. W.

in Montpelier on Thursday, and carefully
looked over with him the proposed route

handle the bonds OF the road. He intimated
that he should take back with him very
favorable report, and present indications are
that the road will be 60"

measure and express the hope that Gov
ernor Black will not sign it,
Aside from questions as to the con-
stitutionality of the enactment, its wis
dom or expediency, the New York Sun,
as relating to the political aspect of the
proposition to place heavy tax on the
products of dead mems thrift or indus
try, quotes the view of Jefferson on this
manner of levying upon individual
wealth:
ITO take from one because it is thought
that his own industry or that OF his father
has acquired too much, in order to spare
others who, or whose fathers, have not ex-
ercised equal industry and skill, is to vio-
late arbitrarily the first principle of associa-
ton, guarantee to every one OF free ex-
ercise of his industry and the fruits acquired
by it."
Commenting upon these words the Sun
says:
The influence OF Jefferson has descended
upon all Americans as a national inheri-
lance. No statesman was more profoundly
inspired by it than the Republican leader OF
his time, james G. Blaine. But through
the revolution which has affected the Dem
ocratic party, during the last six years the
ideas Of Jefferson and all that is conserva.
tive in the United States to-day look for
support peculiarly to the side Of politics
with which Governor Black himself is iden.
tified the Republican party.
1t is believed in New York that il
this bill becomes a law many of the
richest men now residing in the State
would secure residence in other
States. Mr.. Depew, it is reported, has
said if this inheritance tax measure il
signed by the Governor, Mr.. Corneliuf
Vanderbilt, in his present condition Of
health, would take up his residence in
Newport, and that his example would
undoubtedly be followed by many other
residents of the State of almost equal
prominence. These matters are of in.
terest in Vermont by reason of the cur.
rent discussion on the recent act of the
Legislature taxing collateral inheri
tances, though there is very little SINH
larity between the two measures.

100 of the Acts of the Legislature at
the session of 1896, relating to spraying
fruit trees while in bloom.
TEN million pounds indemnity and
the cession of Thessaly are the hard
terms the Turk offers the PROSTATE
Greek, and he enforces his demand by
refusing an armistice and by ordering
his generals in Greece to push the war
without abatement of vigor. The
Greeks are making tlast stand at
Dhomoko, but they are outnumbered =,
three to one, by the Moslems who are
flushed by victory and fred by fsnati-
cism. Though Grecisn statesmen are
incompetent and the army has been
miserably led, Grecian soldiers have
shown valor that should have given
them the victory if they had been
properly commanded, and had met the
foe on approximately even terms. If
the Sultan insists on his rigorous con-
ditions, and on pushing his way to
Athens, he is likely to incur the hos
tility of England and France, and Incl
dentally of Italy. He is believed to be
acting under assurances from the other
powers in the "concert," and they may
be leading him to his ruin. The gods
seem to have made the Turk exceeding
mad and may be contemplating his ul-
innate destruction. Before the end is
reached it will be surprising if there is
not rasping discord in the concert"
CUBA has been the leading question
in National affairs during the week.
The President has been in frequent
consultation with the members of his
Cabinet, with the Foreign Relations
committees of both branches of Con-
gress, and there has been an overhaul
ing of the reports of the American con-
suls in Cuban cities with the view of
getting at the real facts of the situation
in the war and plague-stricken island.
President Mckinley has asked Congress
to appropriate $50, 900 for the relief of
suffering American citizens in Cuba
and to bring to this country such as
may wish to come. The President is
believed to be maturing policy as to
the Cuban situation, in it's political as
poets, and to be awaiting the report of
his special commissioner, Mr.. Calhoun,
now on the island, before deciding def
nitely on his line of action. A great
mass meeting was held in Washington
on Sunday afternoon, at which Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire presided.
The Senator made strong speech in
favor of Cuban independence and
spoke at length of Spanish atrocities.
He thought it was time that the United
States should intervene in the barbar-
GUS warfare and intimated that the
sending of an American feet to Havana
would have the effect of arresting hos
tilities. There were other speakers of
note and good words of cheer from
prominent Senators. Another sign of
rising interest in some means to
rescue the island from utter ruin is the
petition of business men in New York
to the President to use his influence to
bring the war of devastation to an end.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The
Perine grant, involving 30 acres OF

mlttee on public hands has investigat-
ed, it was found by this committee to
be regular and there is no grounds
for action by those attacking this
grant.
| tion bill was taken up. An amendment
was offered so that the laws of the In
dian council should be in force unless
disapproved by the president. Before
any disposition of the question was
made the presiding officer laid before
the senate the joint resolution in rela
tiOn to Julio Sanguilly.
Mr.. Freye said a telegram had been
received showing that Sanguilly and
his attorney had acknowledged the
judgement just: that the punishment
was just; and that they have Withdrawn
their appeal, that the queen regent
has signed pardon and that Sangully
is free.
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts,, said
the Sanguilly case could not be dispos-
ed of by sneers. There were many
cases in which all the inform alton had
been suppressed. So far as the COM
mittee were concerned, it had received
no Information of Sanguilly's pardon.
The case had been considered by the
committee for more than month and
had been postponed from time to time
at the request of the state department
on the ground that Spain had pardoned
the man. Finally the committee re-
ported the resolution and it was debat-
ed by the senate. The next morning
a cable announced that Sanguilly had
been pardoned. The action of the senate
did it and the committee is sneered at
for its efforts.

TIE CITY COUNCIL.
The Police Force too Large.-Tax Pay
ers Want Their Money Refunded.

The city council met last night with
the salons all present. City Treasurer
Fassett reported that the North Ore
goa street property received from the
Merrill settlement had finally been
sold to ]. E. Piper for S224I.l7. Refer
ed to the hnauce com mmltGee.
The city pay roll for February,
amounting to S2222. 42 was presented
for Intellectual mast cation by the
clerk. Mr.. O'Keefe thought it the
eminently proper caper to pay the act
ing mayor. the mayors salary while
the regular executive was absent from
the city. Mr.. Stewart here bobbed up
sernely with the explanation, II notice
that did not get the salary when l
was acting mayor MIR. Whitmore
added, Turn over the mayors sal
ary to Mr.. Roberts," Judge Coldwell
here said. "1t is one question whether
we pay the salary to Mr.. Roberts: and
another question whether we dock
Mayor Campbell's pay" The council
thought it was only just that the act
ing mayor should take the regular
mayors pay for the time of occupancy,
and the idea prevailed. So his honor
the mayor Is docked for the time of
his absence.
Judge Coldwell wanted the CITY
officers to be paid according to the rate
heretofore fixed by the council; and in
this connection MIR. Whiunore re-
marked, I'VE have got too many po-
licemen on the force. A cut down
would help things. There were eleven
policemen besides the chlef.i How
ever, Mr.. Whltmore's ideas on NUM-
cipal economy did not prevail
Judge COidwelt did not believe in
allowing e city officer S125 in SAL
| ary, and then paying him STAT in scrip.
That was not business. He wanted the
general fund and back taxes as thew
came in, to be turned into special
| fund for the maintenance of the police
| and fire departments. But Mr.. 5 ew, TT
did not regard this scheme with favor
as he held it would create confusion
| The chair declared his opposition to
any selling Of city scrip at SO cents. and
stated friend OF his engaged in bank
ing, had told him that he would take
city scrip hereafter at 80 cents. Sey-
eral of the aldermen said the taxes
were now coming in, and there was no
Just reason why city scrip should be
sold at any low figure. Judge Cold
| well replied that IL was true The money
| Tor taxes was being received, but was
1t not being gobbled up by outstanding
warrants that had been sold for 50 and
80 cents: 1t was decided tnat no more
scrip should be sold for 80 cents, and
II satisfactory price was not obtained,
say 50 cents, the firemen S ouid ha
paid in scri p and they mi ght sell il as
best they could The fire department
pay roll which had been presented was
then allowed.
! Judge Townsend called the couucil's
attention to the uecess -ty of furnishing
| books and blanks for the city election
registration ordered by the county
}eoiQm!ssIuuers. Nj. Stewart said he
