Death of a Good Man.

Mr.. Joseph Plonsky died Mon
day night at his late home in this
town, at the age of 50 years. Mr..
Plonsky had been very i'll several
days and the members of his family
were prepared for the worst. The
tender care of his devoted children
and all the relief that medicine
could offer deferred the fatal
moment when the soul leaves its
mortal habitation to seek an eternal
home, but the disease had taken
too finn grasp of the once
vigorous body and the end came
peacefully just few minutes be-
fore midnight Monday.
Nearly every one in Lafayette
knew Mr.. Plonsky. He came here
many years ago and having always
been in mercantile business, few
are they in this community who
did not at one time or another have
dealings with him. Due perhaps
to a too generous heart he never
accumulated much money. We
are told that the Lord loves the one
who is ever ready to share his be-
longings with the needy. Those
who knew the deceased will bear
US out in the statement that he
never violated this holy injunction.
He was charitable to a fault, kind
and indulgent. A dutiful husband
and father, good citizen and a
true friend, his death is greatly
deplored by large number of
people.
MI. Plonsky's remains we're in
tered in the Hebrew rest Tuesday
afternoon and the last sad rites of
the Jewish faith were performed at
the synagogue by Rabbi Alex
Rosenspitz, of Alexandria, who
preached an eloquent and touching
eulogy on the life of the deceased.
The Knights of Honor attended the
funeral in body, and the beautiful
services of this society added much
impressiveness to the already i'm
posing ceremony of the Hebrews.
The following resolutions were
adopted upon Mr.. Plonsky's death
by the local lodge of Knights of
Honor:
To the officers and Members Of Lafa-
.yette Lodge, No. I319f, Knights
Of Honor:

The dinner in honor Of United States
Senator-elect Thomas b. Plat was the
event of the week. The banquet was
held in Harmanus Bleecker Hall, the
largest auditorium in the CITY, and all
the space was needed, as between 300
and 1000 guests sat down to the
tables. About 600 spectators of both
sexes also enjoyed the proceedings
from the galleries. The diners sat at
long tables that completely filed the
main circle of the auditorium, which
had been hoored over for the occa-
sion.
There Is always romantic side to
political life in this country, and, dur
ing the dinner, the devoted and ac-
complished wife of the Senator elect
sat in one of the boxes and watched the
magnificent demonstrations in honor
of her husband by the party which not
so many years ago consigned him with
contempt to private life. What her
feelings were can well be imagined,
but IL was certainly moment of
triumph for domestic and social, as
well as political ambition.
The quests included many of the
most prominent Republicans of the
State and county, as well as the presi-
dents of a number of state leagues.
The proceedings as a whole were very
lively, and the Senator-elects speech,
which was read with excellent effect,
was frequently punctuated with APP
plause. The advice given to the sound
money Democrats was in particular
highly appreciated.
Comp. Roberts has distinguished
himself by sending to the Legislature
report that will attract attention by
its bold assertions of existing public
extravaganza, and its suggestions of
methods for increasing the State reven-
ues under economy is practical. The
comptroller states that there has been
vast increase in State expenditure
and, Notwithstanding that a new source
of income was discovered in the EX-
else law which yielded to the treasury
1885,, ,0149S, the tax rate last year was
.00269, and unless a determined effort
is made to keep down unnecessary ex-
penditures, a higher instead of a lower
tax rate may be expected"
AS means of increasing the State
revenues, Mr.. Roberts says:
1T would be well for the Legislature
to give very serious consideration to
the question as to whether the collat-
eral inheritance or transfer tax laws
should not be materially amended so
as to provide a graded scale that will
make large estates yield very much
more tax than they now do. If an es-
tate of less than $4,000 should be ex-
empt, why should not one millions
greater pay a higher rate than $10,-
600 should be exempt, why should not
one millions greater pay higher rate
than a $4,000 estate? A large estate
would certainly be less burdened by
the payment of higher rate than
small estate would be by the payment
of a lesser one.
ut is submitted whether It would
not be wise to amend the inheritance

OF the masses so hopeful. Mr.. George
Gould believes that the period of tinan-
cial depression Is about at an end, and
that the business outlook is brighter
now than 1t has been for some years
1t is certainly to be hoped that this is
the case, for the suffering among the
thousands of idle and homeless poor
during the recent cold snap was some
thing that was not pleasant to think
about.
The baby show at the Madison Square
Garden this week has proved success,
although it was necessary to procure an
injunction to prevent the Gerry Society
from raidng it. The propriety or hu-
manity of exhibiting so many infants
in public under the circumstances may
well be doubted, but the legal question
as to the right of their mothers to
bring them and exhibit them is point
rather think any prudent judge would
hardly care to decide adversely. Think
of hundreds of indignant mothers
brought into court on the charge of
cruelty and inhumanity to their own
babies! What the Gerry Society is
really after is to close up the affairs,
which is likely to be kept running for
some time unless it succeeds.
