Banker Clews is exceptionally optim- istic as to the stock market. He says:
 The outlook suggests increasing ac- tivity with tendency to still higher prices, especially for the cliqued-back- ed properties and sound dividend pay CTS, accompanied by frequent reac- tions. There has been considerable realizing, and the disposition appears to be to take profits on every sharp advance. As yet there. are no overex- banded bull accounts, and the specula- tive situation is sounder than usual. Easy. money, which, as already said, is a. powerful factor in the situation, promises to continue until the demand for crops begins at the summers end. All things considered the future may be regarded as clearer and more en- couraging than at any time since the panic.

HOW TO SECURE
 SUFFICIENT REVIEW UE

The income tax question will probab- Iy be discussed at some length in the Senate Two propositions will be of fered, one from the Democratic side, by Senator Bailey, carrying a. tax of per cent. on incomes of $5,00O or more, and the second from the so-called pro- gressive Republicans, by Senator Cum Inins of Iowa, levying a graduated tax which will go below the $5,000 mark and will exempt the income of corpora tions. Senator Bailey's bill does not exempt the corporations; instead, it contemp1ates a much greater revenue from that source than from individual incomes.
 As neither the Payne nor the Aldrich tariff bill will yield a sufficient reve- nue, and as Senator Aldrich has in quired as to the amount of revenue the Bayley bill might produce, it may be inferred that the question of income tax imposition will be very seriously considered by the Republican leaders. The abandonment of the proposed in heritance tax and of the tariff duties on ''the breakfast table, i tea, coffee and cocoa-has made a resort to some kind of direct tax a virtual necessity. One proposition which will appear From the Democratic side, will be otamp tax on stock transfers, or Ca tax on futures.'' This stands some chance of adoption, now that the wheat corner has, by increasing hear- fly the cost of flour, illustrated the very sunfavorable effects of dealings in fu- lures.
 But it may be that the Senate, in stead of adopting either of the direct tax propositions, will decide to impose tariff duties on hides, coal, steel rails, lumber, etc, as means of raising a sufficient revenue. It may be remem- bered that the Senate bill left these articles untouched, relegating action upon them to the Senate itself. The effect of levying duties upon these ar ticles would be to shift the burden of securing a sufficient revenue, from taxes upon incomes and *tfutures'' to the whole people. We are somewhat inclined to believe that this shift will be made, for the Senate is, as the Cou- rant lately said, no stranger to sym pathy with trusts, many of it's mem bers would be hard hit by an income tax, and some of it's members have in the past been accused of speculation in ssfutures.''

The permanent office-seeking class at Washington which ,,visit their states only to vote at important elections, have succeeded in securing the excis- ion from the census bill, of the provis- ion requiring, for appointment to the census service, of an actual domicile in their respective States for one year previous to appointment. This class evidently possesses a potent influence at Washington, and for no better req son than that their votes might prove to be balances of power in their res pective States That such a class of men exists, is reflection upon Am erican intelligence; they practically confess inability to make a living oth- erwise than on Federal 'pap."

New York city which furnishes the largest market for asphalt, is asking for repeal of the tariff duties of s1 50 a ton on crude, and s a ton on re- fined, asphalt Most cities which have what is miscalled permanent paving, are interested in this matter, either in the way of new construction or of re- pairs. But as matter of fact, out side of New York city, asphalt paving is not so popular as it was few years ago, while in repairs of asphalt pavement, brick is being used consid- erably and with apparently superior effect.

Washington.-An interesting situa- tion in the senate seems certain to be precipitated when the Panama treaty IS taken up for consideration Ger tain Democrats have all along protest ed against two features of the treaty and the prospects are that they will receive no little assistance from those most intimately interested in the con struction of the canal and whose ex- perience in the canal zone entities them to respectful hearing
 The features which are most ob- jectionable to the Democrats are, first, the provision which will prevent the sale of supplies of all kinds to em- ployes of the canal commission by the commissaries, thus saving these em- ployes the payment of the duty as sessed by Panama and the profit eX- acted by Panama merchants; second. the proposition to submit differences with the government of Panama to an arbitral tribunal on which the pres ident of Peru shall east the deciding vote
