The legislature convenes tomorrow, and
rs all the important offices are settled, and
the committees too, probably, 1t Is likely
to get down to business pretty early. The
Hon. Hannibal & Hamlin will be pre- ST.
dent of the Senate, and the Hon. joseph
II. Manley Speaker of the House, both
without opposition. 1t is generally as
sumed that the most Important work of
the session Will be q revision OF the laws
relating to taxation, with view of
bringing about a more equal distribution
of the public burdens, This is matter
that viii require all thu knowledge and
wisdom the Legislature can bring to 1t
A mere change of taxation laws Is not
what is wanted. This changes must BE-
such as TO produce more equal distribu-
ton OF the public burdens, or else they
will not be improvements. How the leg
islatnrs Will proceed to meet the question,
whether through one of its regular COM
mittees, or through committee fcreateo
for the purpose, we do not know. The
latter method would ssem to give prom
iGe OF the best results, for special
committee can be made up with less ref
erence to political pals" and with
more regard to the adaptedness Of the
men upon it for the work before them,
than a regular COMMITTEES. 1t goes with
out saying that committees to be able
to attack the question OF taxation with
any hope of meeting this public demands
must be made up OF men familiar with
ere matter, conversant with the tax
laws of other states and their practical
operation, ana with courage and In
dependence to resist pressure: for there
is sure to be vigorous resistance to
a Redistribution of burdens from these
individuals and interests that will
suffer from it. Men who command the
confidence and respect of this pubic must
be selected for this work, or else 1t will
surely result In failure. In the make
up OF the committee no particular GLASS
should be catered to. A reform OF taxa
tion managed AMI directed entirely from
the standpoint of the farmer would be
quite as productive of bad results as If
managed from the standpoint of the city
folks. 1t 10 a business which no particu-
lar GLASS should be allowed to take
under its wing and manage for its own
benefit. 1t must always be kept In mind,
however, that there is no scheme OF tax
alton that can SO distribute heavy
burdens as to make them light. The first
essential OF low tax Is a small appro-
priation bill, Unless the expenditures
ara kept down the tax rate will go up.
Economy should therefore be as much
the watchword as tax reform.

The report Of the acceptance OF the note
OF the Powers by the Chinese Emperor Is
confirmed. 1t is the result thai was gem
orally anticipated, though II was general
ly believed that the Emperor would resort
to all sorts of evasions before accepting
the Inevitable. There is but one question
which is really left open by the note. and
that is the question of the amount OF in
demnity. How that Will be determined
viii be settled later, probably by confer
enos between the negotlators OF the
Powers and those of the Chinese govern
ment.
