Under Legal Separation.

PARIS. March 14.-In accordance
with the proceedings instituted by
Countess Anna de Castellane to change
her suit against her husband. Count
Boni. from an action for legal separa-
ton tie a demand for absolute divorce.
both L<oni and Countess Anna have
been summoned TO appear before Judge
lDitte next Saturday. At that time, in
fthe strictest privacy of his study. the
Judge will make the formal effort TO
reconcile the differences of the parties
There is no hope. however, that success
Will attend the judges efforts.
French procedure requires that this
step shall be taken.
New Proceedings Necessary.
Countess Annals suit for separation
was set for hearing today, but her
change of plea annuls all the former
proceedings. The separation suit has
been stricken from the roll, and the
case must now be begun anew on the
basis of an action for absolute divorce
1t is expected that some time will
-elapse before the date of this hearing
will be fixed
While some of Countess Annals friends
assert that the reason for her change of
plea was simply on account of her dis
pleasure at widespread reports of pos
sible reconciliation, II is known never
theless that a partial reconciliation had
ALREADY been effected on the basis of q.
legal separation, whereby the countess
agreed to grant Count Boni an income,
and in return was TO retain her title.
Boni also was to be allowed to see their
children.

Circumstances Alter Cases.
Ernm the Paterson PreSS.(


1t is well known that the Press
holds no brief for George l.. Rec
ord in his V for the United
States senatorshib. On the contrary,
it has from the inception of that
movement strongly dissented from
the idea that Mr.@Reeerd has valid
claims to republican support for that
great office, not having yet won SO
high a distinction by his services in
the party. STILL We cannot refrain
from the suggestion that the recent
fling by Mrs Murphy at Mr.. Record
in the ~panegyric published by the
former a Few daysago in favor of the
candidacy of JohnaF, Dryden, based
upon Mr.. Recdfd's previous demo-
cratic Affiliations, might have been
wisely and c~hivalrously omitted. Mr..
Records first appearance as a repub-
lican was in advocacy of Mr.. Muir
phys election as governor, and his
conversion and the assistance of his
unquestionably brilliant talents we're
at that time enthusiastically well
coined by Mr.. Murphy and all the
other republican leaders of the state.
Hence we say it does not seem becom-
ing in Governor Murphy, at least, to
intimate that Mr.. Record is unworthy
of republican confidence because he
is a comparatively new recruit in the
party's ranks. It is true that the
former governor did not mention Mr..
Records name, but the allusion was
apparent, and the application has
been made by every newspaper in
the state that is supporting Mr.. Dry
denis candidacy.

There is left the progressive tax on inheritance. AS a tax meas

measure to limit fortunes, however, it seems to m more doubtful.
To accomplish the purpose the rate must be WERY HIGH. A tax
heavy enough would involve a problem of administration Even so
low a rate as 80 per cent would mean a tax oft$15,000,O0O for every
estate of 5%Oy000O0O, and there arc now manyIfortunes OF that size.
There are said to be fifty men in Pittsburg alone whose fortunes
EXCEED that amount, and in the case of some well known fortunes

The greatest objection is the Encouragement which the heavy tax

Our federal financial machinery is SO organized and our sources Of,

check extravaganza. Greater financial responsibility is one of the

not given a square deal in the legis-

were not given credit for their good

were ignored. Since then efforts have
been made to asperse their motives,
to misrepresent them, to load them
