THE SHIPPING BILL.

There is now a hopeful prospect of agreement
among Republican leaders in the Senate upon
notifications of the Shipping bill designed 10
make ii more sure of accomplishing its essential
purpose. Those who have believed with Sena-
tor Frye that the bill in the form in which he
has SO ably and zealOusly defended il is safe
and sufficient. and those who have feared that
it involved possibilities of discrimination for or
against various interests and classes OF shipping
which might impair its usefulness by distFibut-
ing inequtably the public money it apprOpriates.
are said TO be ready 10 adjust their differences
and unite in support OF a measure which will
then presumably command the votes of a major
ity in each branch Of Congress and the approval
of the country.
The removal of whatever reasonable uncer-
tainty may exist as 10 the meaning and prob
able effect of the bill is unquestlonably wise,
and we are convinced that To this extent at
least the need of revision has been generally
recognized. There has been much denunciation
of the bill. whether honest nsincere, which
there was neither prOpriety nor advantage in
attempting TO stop by changing IFS provisions.
FOR the reason that such criticism proceeded
from those 10 whom everything in the nature of
"A subsidy is utterly repugnant; but it cannot be
denied that il has also encountered dangerous
hesitation on the part of distinguished Repub-
lcans who are heartily in favor Of building up
our mercantile marine by methods which for
eign countries have employed with great
cess and will dread 10 the United States
apply. To the doubts Of such men great CON
sideratiOn should be paid both because their
Judgment is entitled 10 respect and because
without their support no shipping bill can be
passed at this session. If Il question of moral
principle were involved it IS certain that men
like Mr. Frye would not yield their convictions.
but since the question is how a great industry
which has fallen into decay can be most effec-
lively restored and promoted, concessions as to
the details Of a scheme TO which In general they
are agreed may properly be made by those
spOnsible for the course OF legislation.
1t appears TO us that Senators who deem the
bill in its present form both just and adequate
have not yet made out their case to the entire
satisfaction of the country though we are glad
to observe that Mr. Frye's personal letter to the
Editor OF The Tribune, recently published with
his consent and approval, has to a large extent
cut off the flow of defamation and satisfied
some disnterested demands for further knowl-
edge. A few grounds OF hesitation among Re
puDlicans still seem 10 remain. which must be
garded as important not only in themselves, but
also because of the weight Of intelligent opinion
which supports them. 1t is proposed to remove
one of them by reducing the period within
which new tonnage can secure the privileges of
the bill, and others by modifying its provisions
in the interest of the slower classes Of vessels
OF large cargo capacity. Our impression is that
with these changes the Republican party in
Congress is likely to be united.

ties, would have her income cut in two. The
business man fnancier with hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in stocks, paying a larger
return and practically as safe but not ranked
as investments for trustees, would be exempt.
No amount of diligence or discretion on the
part of officials can make the personal tax law
anything but premium the hiding of capt.
ways The remedy of more stringent laws is
sometimes proposed. But they would only tend
to drive personal property further into hiding,
and 1t is TO be remembered that the capital
which it is most desired TO reach is that which
can most easily move, while the widows and
orphans trust funds are tied down to bear the
heavier burden the more drastic the law is
made. Probably the people of this State are
not yet prepared for the abolition OF direct
personal taxes and the devising of any sub
stitute for them is q difficult problem. 1t Is,
however, a problem which our lawmakers ought
to be at work upon 1t is discreditaDle TO them
that they have for years been tampering with
the subject. listening TO reports of committees
and uniformly Surrendering and confessing

plicated question of practical government. Per-
sonal taxation in this State is not merely
farce; it is an nquty.

PERSONAL TAXES.

The newspapers are filed with tales of sten0g-
raphers and office boys waking up 10 find them
selves joyful pOssessOrs of anything from So 600
10 $4,000 Of taxable personally, in the opinion
OF the assessors From one point of view it
passes for good joke. The boys obtain leave
from their SO week employment go 10 the
tax office and swear off the assessment and
that is the end Of the farce From another
point Of view it is criticised as part OF the
Tammany scheme 10 make big show of dill
gence in personal taxation and with the aid
of this tremendous assessment. which every
body knows will shrink 10 comparatively in
significant proportions before it is finally con-
frmed, secure a deceptiyely low tax rate for

If a deficit results from counting on income
from personal taxes which is never realized

next year but Tammany is doubtless willing
10 let next year take care of itself, If only by
concealment this year a new lease of power
can he secured.
Ii maywell be that such motives have Influenced
the city administration TO utterly reckless levy
ing Of personal assessments without any idea
OF materially increasing the budget, but merely
Tor the purpose OF making temporary show
When all is said about Tammab-y methods. the
fact remains, however, that even the best ad-
ministratiOn with the best intent could not
make the personal tax anything but unequal
and unjust. More capable officials might, in
deed. send out their notices with a little more
sense, and might show as much zeal TO assess
at full value the personal property OF notor-
ously rich politicians as that OF poor widows
with small bond investments. Nevertheless
there is no method under the law of getting at
the personal holdings of the great mass of peo-
pie in a city as large this, except the hit or
miss method Of sending notices broadcast,
assessing everybody at random for as much as
IL is thought they can possibly be worth, and
leaving on them the burden of swearing off the
excess. OF course, sueh an assessment cannot
be thorough. II misses ali whose names do not

SNIP SUBSIDY.
AN INTERESTING PRESENTATION OF Cardinal.
PURPOSES"

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t is much to be regretted that. although
the Ship Subsidy bill was considered in com
mittee and reported back. both in the Senate
and in the House, before the summer adjourn
ment there seems to have been little general
discussion of its merits at that time. II Is not
until now. within less than two months of ad-
journment and with the appropriation bills
pending that the subject has come up for any
thing approaching a full discussion. / assume
that almost all in the Republican party, and
most Of those out of il. in favor OF the
proposition that we ought both to be able TO
build ships and to sail them; that we
ought TO be able to find trained American sailors
in case of need. and that II is benefit to the
whole country 10 increase tie expectation of our
products
These cardinal purposes of a legitimate sub
sidy can be accomplished by a bill which pays
subsidies to American built ships. but not. under
any circumstances 10 foreign built ships; that
provides for the employment of American sea-
men and reduces the subsidy for every foreign
sailor or fireman employed by amount suffi-
ciently large to make IL an object TO the ship
owner To employ Americans, and an object to
Americans TO follow the sea To secure in
crease of exports subsidy should be paid in pro-
portion TO the outbound cargoes actually carried.
The success of our foreign commerce for a
generation 10 come may depend upon this gen
eral scheme for subsidies which the Govern
ment embarks for the first time. II is a
subject which requires the most careful con-
sideratIon. and for the Republican party to make
itself responsible for a bill which may produce
unjust Determinations and which may fail to
accomplish its purpose is merely to invite dis
aster for the future.
The LVIIth Congress will be made up of men
quite favorable 20 the general principles of
this bill is the LVIth, and II the time avaia

THE OTEEN'S HEALTH.

Oisouieting reportS come from London to-day
concerning the health of the Queen. 1t does not
appear that Her Majesty is in an Immediately
precarious condition. She has for the last day
or Two however not been as well usual. and
symptoms or ailments which in younger per
son might be passed over lightly must be re-
gardpd more seriously IN the case of one of her
venerable years For the Queen has now far sur
passed the fourscore years which the Psalmlst
declares TO be attained only with burdens and
sorrows. Several years ago her reign became
the longest one in English history. To-day her
life exceeds the span of that of any other
sovereign upon the English throne. AT nearly
eighty-two years her health must be an object
of profound solicitude. and the slightest impair
ment of it must be regarded with anxiety.
The Queen herself long ago banished from
her kingdom the last remains Of purely per-
sonal government and established the cOnsttu-
tiOnal system in all It's fulness and perfection.
For that reason her increasing age and failing
strength suggest no menace of political disturb
ance and no peril to the integrity of her realm
or TO the peace of the world. Solictude for her
welfare and the desire for her maintenance in
health and strength arise from other and higher
motives than these. Shelf we may adapt the
lines with the change of a single word
Hath borne her faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in her great office,
that not only her own loyal subjects but the
whole world would fain see her remain with
them yet many years a noble and an en-
nobling example of woman, mother and SOW
ereign. 1t is amply fitting that to-day alien
lands from Britain. and lands which know no
sceptred sovereign. should for her simple Writ
ues sake join with her kingdom and empire in
the prayer, God save the Queen!
