Tho New York World say that the tax
denartment Of Gotham has been crowded
during the past week with New lorks
wealthy citizens, swearing off personal
taxes. That up to Saturday ten
thousand persons assessed on per
sonal property had appeared and
taken the oath that they owned no per-
sonal property. and that over $1,000 O, 600
had been taken of The 5000, 100000 levied
on personal property up to March Goth.
OF course. we must take what the New
York World says with many grains Of
allowance. but il is a fact that the per
sonai tax system, not only in New York,
but IN Virginia and other States of the
Union. is a farce and o mockery, and
operates in favor of the rich man and TO
the oppression OF the poor man, who
has no means Of hiding his stun away.
IL is this sort Of tax-dodging on the part
of the rich that has Ia a great measure
created the prejudice against wealth. and
that is responsible in no small degree
Tor the demand for a graduated income
tax. You cannot deceive all the people
all the time. and the poor people OF the
United states know that they are made,

the personal tax system, TO bear more

burden. while the rich are permitted TO

TWO GREAT PLAYS.
VIM. II. Crane 70 Present Them Here
This Week.

Very few actors have had the amount
Of stage experience that has fallen to the
lot Of William il. Crane, who comes TO
the Academy Of Music on Thursday TO
produce his two greatly-praised plays, "A
Virginia Courtship' and The Head OF
the Family"
There Is no style of character that Mr..
Crane has not played lie has in his time
appeared in everything from grand opesa
20 burlesQue and from Shakesperean com
edy TO farce. And IN everything that he
has undertaken To do n has gained suc-
cess.
His engagement here is going % do
much towards showing his great versa
tility. for the two PLAYS that he IS 20 pre-
sent differ IN a great many essentials.
In the first place. "A Virginia Courtshlp
is an old-fashioned comedy In which the
MANNERS of a lOng-tlme-since past are
reproduced. and the other brings one
down to the present time. In one play
the actor appears as an old aristocrat OF
fiery temper and full of arrogance. Tn The
other he IS seen as a mild, meek little
man who Is full of that commodity known
as the milk OF human kindness. The
comedian has always been looked upon
as an actor with a delicate touch and a
man who can command tears as esily as
be can force laughter.

FASHIONS SLAVES.

Our lady readers. and we hope others,
will be interested 20 know that on Satur-
day last-the day before Easter-an act
passed by the Massachusetts Legislature
of iS9S TO discourage the use of birds and
birds feathers for dress or or~namemnta-
ton went into effect. The act provides
that any person who has in his posses

hibited by section 4. chapter 256, acts Of
lSSS. whether taken within or without
the state. or who wears such feathers
Tor tho purpose OF dress or ornament.
shall be punished by q fine Of $40. The
section 4 referred 10 embraces the wild
or undomesticated birds. except game
birds (Which are otherwise protected),
English sparrows. crow hlackhirds. crows,
jays. birds Of prey. wild geese and fresh
water and sea fowl.
We 90 not believe IN trlning laws. We
do not believe in laws that interfere with
personal rights, but it is apparent that
unless something is done 10 put a stop
10 this %barbarous fashion the whole bird
amily win eventually be exterminated.
tt is hard to say who is responsible for
this fashion. Indeed, who is responsible
for any fashion? That is one of the mys-
ferries OF civilization. \ fashion appears,
nobody knows lust how or whence, but it
is solf-enforcing. and when the decree
goes forth all the votaries y Dame Fash
ion must bow the knee and submit and
conform. no matter how absurd the fash
ion may be. It would be unjust TO say
that the women Of this country are re-
sponsible for the slaughter of the birds
used i'm ornamentation, just as It would
be unjust To- say that the women were
responsible for the big hoop-skirts or the
long trails which were formerly in vogue
In point of fact. women resented these
fashions. The hoop-skirts and the long
trails were most inconveriont, hut sub
mission was imperative, for no woman Of
delicacv likes TO make herself conspicuous
I'm public. She conforms TO the fashion
not necessarily through choice, nor yet
for prlde's sake. but because she does
no. dare a~ntagonize Dame Fashion and
make herself an object of ridieule by ap-
bearing in an out-of-date costume
II is hard. We say. to fix the response
butv for this slaughter Of birds We
think it hardly fair to hold responsible
those who shoot the birds, for SO long
as there is a demand for such ornaments
,ho snpnlv viii be forthcoming, and those
who make q business of supplying the
demand reason with themselves that If
they did not shoot the birds somebody
else would. We had hoped that this
fashion would run its course and that
Dame Fashion would turn her eyes to
some other source for ornamentation'
But the fashion holds on with wonderful
persistency. and it would appear that in
order 10 prevent the determination OF the
birds it is necessary that there SHAH be
a prohibitOry law.

\ TIMELY EEBJKE.

Our Richmond correspondent gives II
as a matter of legislative gossip. that
MIR. X. q. SOuthall. Of Amelia, is a pos
sible candidate for the Legislature ana
also for circuit judge, to succeed GeReTal

il Mr.. SOuthall intends to be a candidate
for the iudgeship he should not be "a

Petersburg IndeX-Appeal.
This is a word in season. Members
of the Legislature are but human, and
it is natural that they should give prefer
ence to one of their number in any con-
test OF this character, regardless OF the
question of merit, or the will of the peoE
pie.
We chance to know Of this case. There
was a vacancy or the bench which the
Governor Of the State was called upon to
fiji. There were two applicants, one OF
whom was a member of the Legislature,
and he received the endorsement Of near
" every member of that body. But when
the case was made up, it turned out that
the other applicant had the endorsement
Of all the local officials, nearly all the
members of the bar, and a large proper
ton of the leading citizens of the COM
munity.
The members OF the Legislature did
not inquire as to the merit Of the other
candidate, did not inquire as TO the
wishes Of the people. They all recon-
mendcd their man, because he was a
brother member. In this particular case
their man was a good lawyer, a splendid
man, and would have made a good judge.
but We fear that the result would have
been the same. had the case been other
wise. Ii Is too often "A matter Of per
