sHAFFER's DECLARATION.

The most incendiary declaration yet
made in connection with the steel strike
is the disclaimer of Mr.. Shaffer of re-
sponsibility for consequences II the strik-
ers resort to violence. 1t Is all the worse
because couched in language affecting
concern for the evils which must inevi-
tably result from any breach of the peace.

THE NEELY TRIAL.

Whether the fate of Thompson will
cause disquiet to the easy-going Mr..
Rathbone or the energetic and elusive Mr.
Nelly is uncertain. MIR Ra.hhcne T=oba-
bly, still relies on his political pull with
men very high In the organization of his
party and in official position. and until
the bank account of Mr.. Nicely Is ex-
hausted he will be able to place technical
obstacles In the way of the car of justice.
Nicely has summered and wintered and
summored again with his case and il has
not yet reached the trial court. The sea-
sons are likely to chase each other an
other round before the Nicely case comes
to trial, and the date of his conviction
and sentence will probably be when sun
day comes on Friday. Plain

it is believed a communication from Can

FOREIGN TOPICS.

The recent increase in the British in
come tax, and the probability that 1t
will be still further augmented next year
unless peace is made to prevail in South
Africa. have drawn attention to the
Indian income tax, which has remained
unchanged since April /, 1896. when the act
imposing an income tax was passed 1t
was a measure which took the place of
various local acts under which annual
licenses were required for the exercise of
trades. dealings. or industries. The pro-
ceeds of the tax have increased steadily
from year to year at an average rate
of per cent annually. Persons with
annual incomes of less than 800 rupees
and these form the vast bulk of the pop
ulatiOn-are exempt. The number of
assessed has increased since the tax first
came into operation from 1894 to 4S2. 4s2,
a growth of SO per cent in fourteen years.
Nearly 30 per cent of the amount col
lected in 1S99-i900- Ct ,2S9. 0o0-was derived
from salaries and pensions of persons in
the service of the State. Profits of COM
panies yield under per cent of the total.
The companies are mainly railway. cotton
spinning and weaving, and banking cor
porations. OF the miscellaneous classes
under which individual Incomes are
grouped. that of money lenders and
changers contributes by far the largest
proportion. Political economists believe
that the figures only illustrate too clearly
the economic backwardness OF the lndlan
population. The incidence OF the tax per
head is highest In Bombay and Burma,
the commercial communities of Bombay
and Rangoon contributing a relatively
high proportion of the provincial coliec-
tionS.
