EnHIond's Historic Miser,

John Camden Neild, whose magnif
cent bequest to Queen Victoria sup
piled the funds out of which the prince
consort built the present BalmCral
castle, deserves place among the
great misers and was as remarkable q
man as any of them. He was educat-
ed at Elton and Trinity college, Cam
bridge, and was a barriSter at Lin
coins Inn. At the age Of thirtyfour
his fathers death placed him in pos
session Of fortune of f250,O0O, and
from that moment he became Il con-
tirmed miser. Neid lived at Cheyne
walk, Chelsea. His big houAe was SO
mcanly furnished that it diI not even
boast of Il bed. Two old women, who
did his chores, and a black cat were
his sole companions. When he visited
his large estates in the Midlands,
which he did frequently, he generally
walked unless he could get a lift for
nothing and he was not even above
taking gratuitOus seat on a dung
cart Sometimes he was compelled by
the weather to take seat on the
stagecoach, and there he would sit
outside, shivering and dripping. for he
never wore greatcoat, an object OF
commseration to his fellow Assem-
gers.

Fifty Miles to Market.

1t Is not an uncommon thing IN
France to see farmer forty or fifty
miles from home In wet weather with
load. II he sees prospect Of a
three days rain, he puts his tarpaulin
over his load, cover over his horses
and waterproof coat on and starts
off to market. He may go fifty miles
before he finds market that suits him,
or he may know In advance just where
he Is going. You do not often see any
body driving fifty miles through rain
storm in the United States to find a
market for load of hay, but it is not
uncommon to see farmers wagons for
ty or fifty miles from home In France
They choose the wet weather for that
purpose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any time.

WORKS OF A WATCH.
All the Parts Are but the Expression
of One Idea.

All the Parts Are but the Expression
Of One Idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism Of a watch it's handspring
or the balance wheel Is mere piece of
metal He may have looked ut the face
Of the watch, and while he admireS the
motions Of it's hands and the time it
keeps he may have wondered In idle
amazement as to the character Of the
machinery which Is concealed within.
Take It to pieces and show him each
part separately, and he will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela-
ton between them, but put them to-
gether, set them to work, point out the
offices Of each spring, wheel and cog,
explain their movements and then
show him the result. Now he perceives
that it Is all one design; that, notwith
standing the number Of parts, their d.
verse forms and various offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece Is Of
one idea. He now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered its relation to all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on this wheel are cut and
Observation-Disclosures the ratchets on
that. ETC., and his final conclusion will
be that such piece Of mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation Of the parts
Is such as to show it to be according to
design and obedient to the will Of one
intelligence.

PROPOSED TAXATION.
Republican Plan u Poor Substitute
For That of the Democracy.

Republican Plan II Poor Substitute
For That of the Democracy.
The Inheritance tax discussion has
commenced in congress, although there
is no possibility of the bill introduced
by Mr.. Perkins of New York being con-
sidered at this session. This Repub-
lican plan of contscating one-half or
less Of a mans property after his de-
mise is poor substitute for the much
desired legislation to prevent the ac-
emulation Of vast fortunes by abol-
ishing the special privileges that have
led to their amassng
Most Of the states already have an
Inheritance tax and will be loath to
divest themselves of this form Of taxa
ton. The income tax would seem to
offer a much better field for taxation
by the federal government and would,
If graded according to ability to pay
and the rate made stiff enough, effec-
tually prevent enormous fortunes from
increasing too rapidly. Even then we
have to face the opposition Of Re-
publican majority Of the supreme
court, which effectually checked the
Democratic legislation by its to i
decision when an income tax was in
cluded In the tariff bill Of 1894. But
what is the good Of talking about in
heritance or income tax that would
raise hundreds Of millions Of dollars
unless the tariff stand patters are dis
lodged from their control Of congress ?
When the tariff tax is reduced will be
time enough to talk about other forms
Of taxation.

PlUTOCRATIC DANGER.
Great Uneasiness Felt In Financia
Circles.

Circles.
Leslie's Weekly in late article eX.
poses its plutOcratic tendency and con
troll when it says, The present out
break against the capitalized industries
of the land. fosterel by dcmagogues on
one side ana by ambitious reforiners
on the other, is proceeding IT, such dan
gerous lengths that great uneasiness is
felt in financial circles at home and
abroad over the possible outcome" II
certainly does begin to look as if the
people were waking UP to their oppOr-
tunities to prevent themselves from
being plunderel ly the corporations,
but what has been done is compare
lively nothing to what must be done in
that direction.
The railroad legislation, for instance.
has effected nothing as yet toward re
vising unreasonable rates. which is the
real end of railroad legislation. The
trusts are still protected by the tariff
and are advancing prices instead of re
! ducing them, and indeed no steps have
been taken ly the dominant party to
try to proceed ITO such dangerous
lengths" as LeSlie's seems to think Is
'already felt in financial circles" Why,
bless your dear Old plutocratic soul. the
corporations are still in clover, but If
they are wide awake to the signs of
the times they will set their houses in
order, for, unless there is Il more equal
distribution of profits, there will be Il
cyclone ere long that will certainly
upset good many people that now
feel quite secure on their prosperity
perch. The trouble is the financial in.
terests" have overplayed their hands
and fear that the public will "call''
| them.
For the past ten years the trusts and
corporations have had it all their own
way, with the Republican party pro.
tecting them and in return being fur
| nished with campaign Doodle to perpet
uate this copartnership of plundering
| corruption and graft. Public opinion Is
| coming to the point where reform will
be demanded, and the great danger is
that in the effort to insure restitution
there may be some interests injured
that are innocent Of wrongdoing. The
Democratic plan Of abolishing monopo
ly and ceasing to protect the trusts and
compelling the railroad corporations tC
charge reasonable rates will be found
much more effective than the cOnfisca
ton Of great fortunes, with no revision
Of the laws to prevent fostering such
In the future.
