N.W. - | Harrison and the Income Tax. | To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: The letter of the late Chief Justice Taney _ | in regard to the income tax, printed In ‘Phe! | Star yesterday, calls to mind the story ex- | President Harrison told of his struggles In 1864} he was elected reporter of the decisions of the supreme court of Indiana. Under the | law as it existed at that time in Indiana, | the supreme court reporter drew no salary | | direct from the state, the emoluments of ane | his office being made up wholly from the proceeds of the sale of- the reports, he hav- ing the copyright. According to the, story as told by Gen. Harrison, not long after he had taken possession of the office the assessor of internal revenue called upon | him and stated as he published the reports on his own account he would have to take bother him a great deal, as it was compara- tively a small sum. Some time subsequent’ the assessor made another call on him, and in the course of conversation mentioned the | fact that as he sold the reports he was li- ble as a retailer and would have to take ut a license for that purpose. The general acquiesced and paid the fee, asking if that was all. He was left in peace for some four or five months, when one day he was called upon to pay a tax on his income. He had no income except what was derived from | the office he held, and thinking over the matter he reached the conclusion that the national government could not tax a state office. If it could, and was so disposed, it could utterly destroy state governments by laying such burdens of taxation on the of- ficers that no one could afford to hold of- fice. With this thought in mind he called trict and consulted with him. It was agreed | that the case should be submitted to the judge of the court for that district, and the , papers were accordingly prepared. A day | was fixed for the argument. Gen. Harrison | appeared for himself and argued the ques- |tion from a purely legal standpoint and | flattered himself he had put up an impreg- |nable case. To his utter astonishment, as | the suit was an amicable one, when the) United States attorney arose he began his | plea by saying: “If Mr. Harrison does not | like sign,” and made his entire argument on that ground. “The court held with him, and Gen. Harrison took an appeal, but said, when President, that from that time he never complained of the burdens and cares |of an office he had voluntarily assumed. | The appeal never came to a final hearing, as the same point was decided in another case. W. H. SMITH. —_——— A Most Remarkable Document. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Being @ taxpayer in the District and hav- ing had the tax on some of my property increased seventy-five per cent and on other over fifty per cent, and having paid my tax, though most of the property stands vacant on my hands, I had some curiosity to see the report of the, commit- tee on the District bill, and so got a copy. Altogether I consider it one of the most remarkable documents, under the circum- stances, that ever emanated from Con- gress. By the new assessment our taxes on real estate have been increased $666,S0k, and that, too, in these trying times, when there are more vacant buildings than for years st and when business is comparatively at a standstill. | Turning to the committee's repoft I_see | that the estimated revenues of the Dis- trict for the year ending June 30, 1895, amount to $6,701,079.23, which one would relief to the community as far as possible in_these times. The next thing that strikes the b i Is the statement of the Secretary of the ury, who says, in brief, that he don’t know any- thing about these matters (and which, of course, is literally true), and therefore he recommends that propriated the same as last year. That's pretty good; but then comes the committee, who say, yes, Mr. Secretary, we will see you and go several better, for we will cut it down $221,442 below what it was last year, and that, too, hotwithstand- |ing we make the people pay $666,808 more | than last. yea | I suppose this must be done on the same theory as ey tariff bill is framed on—that more revenue required and therefore the duties are set = as tee less! I n't account for it in any other wa: ae TAXPATER. aoe ee Speed of the Earth’s Journey. From the Brooklyn Eagle. The earth does not travel at the same rate all through its journey. Its orbit be- ing elliptical, it must at some time ap- proach nearer to the sun than at others, and will take less time in moving through one part of its path than through another. In winter the earth is nearer the sun than in summe: and moves through space more rapidly. On January 1 the earth is about 8,000,000 miles nearer the sun than it fs on July 1, and, as the velocity of a planet in- creases with its nearness to the sun, the | earth passes over one-half of its orbit in less time than ove> the other half. tween the vernal equinox, which happens on March 21, and the autumnal equinox, which falis on September 23. the earth is 186 days in accorapiahing that half of hi journey round the sun, while the ot h sai only 179 @ ug to the fr! lew and othe: reaso moving more slow that the days are consequently lengthenin, but as this is only to the extent of half a second in a century it will be a long time before there will be any apparent differ- | ence. out a manufacturer's license.

Felling the Masts—Fire Breaks Out— On a Desert Isle—Lieut. Brainard’s Trip to Colona. The following special cable dispatch to the New York World from Panama gives particulars connected with the wreck of the Kearsarge: The United States warship Kearsarge was wrecked last Thursday on Roncador Reef, 400 nities north of Colon. Lieut. Fred- erick R. Brainard arrived at Colon last night with the news of the wreck. Lieut. Brainard says that at 6:45 o’clock on the evening of Thursday, February 1, while the Kearsarge was on her way from Port au Prine, Haiti, to Bluefields, Nicaragua, the lookout raised the cry of “Breakers ahead,” and within a few minutes the ves- sel went on the reefs with great force. She was proceeding under sail at the time and had, comparatively speaking, no steam up. There was a terrific séa on and the ship heeled to such an alarming extent that it was feared she would capsize.

For four months | !t Comes From Florida or the Indies— Engineer V. A. Hewes has been working on the motive power to swing the span, and yesterday in the presence of a number of the officers of the terminal company, and for the benefit of Chief Engineer J. A. L. Waddell, Clty to see the test made, the span swung out over the river without a jar or hitch, thus virtually completing the bridge which | connects two of the great sisterhood of | states. The power used consists of two forty- | horse-power motors, weighing 3,900 pounds each, and is the same system now in use on the Second Avenue line, New York. The storage battery is of the well-known zinc- copper alkaline type, the positive element consisting of an agglomeration of finely 4i- vided copper held about a central copper wire by fine wire netting. To still further secure the finely divided copper in posit thus giving the finished product the appear- ance of insulated magnet wire. This wire, as it may be termed, is then wound 5; pirall: to form a flat rectangular sheet the thick-/ ness of the insulated wire. A number of these sheets or plates, usually seven, are then united together to form the positive side of the cell, and are placed in an iron | case divided #o that there is an iron parti- | tion between each of the positives. A solu- j tion of potash, in which zinc has been dis- | solved, forms the electrolyte. Upon charg- ing the cell the zinc In the éolution is de-— | posited upon the sides and partitions of the case, and the copper of the wire is oxidized; | in discharging the battery may be consider- | ed a simple oxide of copper and zinc ceil, the zine being redissolved into the solution ' from the tron surfaces and the copper oxide | | reduced. | Eight racks are used to manipulate the | power, 384 cells being contained in the racks. The cells are connected in series cn each rack, eagh two racks being in a serics. thus are 2 four unit®, being the same as | four individual Sa. These are led | {nto a controlling device, from which wires |run to the armatures of the motors. The controller has a single lever that works a | | cylinder and on which are contact polats, | by means of which the batteries are coupled | in series, giving the different speeds to tne | motors. By turning the lever in the wp- | posite direction there is given three differ- | ent. speeds in reverge direction. On coming | | to the zero point of the controller the arma- ture forms a magnetic brake, which stops the motor instantly. While in operaiion the machinery is under the most perfect | control by simply working the lever of the | controller. ‘The switchboard has a number of switch- es so arranged that the batteries may be from the trolley wire of the East Omaha Street Railway Company, or the batteries may be renewed by the same cur- rent. The whole battery may he charged in series or it may be divided into separate parts and each charged separately. In_ operating from the batteries the switches can be thrown in such manner that the machinery may be worked from one-haif the battery independently of the other ba one-half thus being in use while the other haif is being charged.

The motors are geared to the lift- ing and interlocking shaft and also t» the main or turning shaft. Upon the interiock- jing shaft are friction clutch gears, and upon the center shaft, which carries the pinion driving the equalizer, are two iric- tion clutch couplings.

The Ship on Fire. When the Kearsarge went over after striking the reef, she went so far that the banked fires in the furnaces were thrown out, and scattering about in all directions, set fire to the ship, so that in addition to being exposed to the savage waves, the merciless reef, the dipping vessel was in danger of being burned and blown up. | Urged by the desperation of the situa- | tion everybody on board that could be \spared from on deck manfully attacked the flames, and after a short, sharp fight, succeeded in extinguishing the blaze before it reached the magazine. After the fire was extinguished and masts cut away, there was nothing to do but await an opportunity to get ashore. At daylight the boats were lowered, and the short but dangerous trip over the reefs and through a treacherous surf was at- tempted. It was accomplished with the greatest imaginable difficulty, and after! |many narrow escapes all hands eventually | | succeeding in reaching shore in safety. H On the Desert | Provisions were thrown overboard be- fore abandoning the ship, in the hope that they would wash ashore to be plucked from the surf, provided anybody got ashore alive. As, s00D,,as the officers and crew were | lauded, a Camp was established on the islet | of Koncador, and enough food to last a | month was picked up, but no frésh water was procurable. | Lieut. Brainard volunteered to select a crew and start for the island of Old Prov- | idence, ninety miles southwest of the scene of the wreck. He left on the morning of | the 4th instant and reached Old Providence cn the morning of the Sth. He immediately | sailed from Old Providence on @ ac! er for Colon, 230 miles south. He arrived at ‘Colon Wednesday night. Lieut. Brainard reported that at the time he left Roncador the Kearsarge was fast going, to pieces. He reported that the Kear- sarge’s company could not reach Old Prov- idence, and that they were in need of im- | mediate assistance. soe The Cameroons Trouble. In the German reichstag yesterday, dur- ing the discussion of the colonial estimate: Prince Arenberg demanded the removal and punishment of Governor Leist of the Cameroons colony, who, the prince said, had disgraced the German name in the Cameroons. Dr. Kayser, director of the colonial department, said that if the ac- counts received in Berlin from the Camer- oons, charging the governor with flogging | women were true, Governor Leist would be severely punished. Dr. Kayser added that a commissioner had already been dispatched to the Cameroons in order to inquire into | the affair. No Bloodshed at Brinton, Pa. No bloodshed occurred yesterday at Brin- | ton, Pa,,where the new Westinghouse works are being erected. It was feared there would be trouble between the American and for- eign workmen who wanted to get work on the excavation for the new plant, but none occurred, probably for the reason that the foreigners, profiting by the rough experi- ence of several of their number Wednesday, stayed away yesterday. Only four foreigners were on hand, and they were quickly driven away by the Americans. All the men at work were na- tives of this country. It is claimed by the Americans that the foreigners are willing to work for 80 cents a day, while the Ameri- and footways are completed, bas been care- | fully studied out, so that the machine in position can move the draw a3 easily as a) child can lift a lead pencil.

No Need for Books if Every Man Maa | His Acre. Paris Correspondent London Telegraph. Recents events have brought Elisee Re- clus, the geographer,into consicerable prom- inence.

When living in exile in Ireland during the second empire, he first began his study of general geography under the auspices of @ past manager of the Hachette firm. He has now, after forty-three years of study, finished the last volume of his work, but he ands that live is too short to enabie a man to describe the whole superficies of | the terrestrial globe. te has, therefore, not travelec for all lis facts, but has read up tor them in books published in different languages. These volumes he compares to express traiug at the disposal of thought. In geographical science M. Recius de- clares himself to be what he is in political | theory—-an internationalist, living without | legal froncier or positive laws, or, rather, one who recognizes no borderland save that of the intinite and no laws, except those of | liberty. He believes in free men; not the | men of Bourget and Barres, the ‘novelists, | but men who work for their own living—in | one word, the cultivators of the soil. M. Reclus is, in fact, one who holds to the theory that every rood of land should main- tain its man, and he points out that a large | portion of the surface of the earth is un- productive forest land, or what he calls | “pleasure gtounds.” The Czar of Russia, for instance, has forests thousands of kilo- meters in extent.

He himself is even ready to put on a flannel jacket or blouse. to wear sabots, anf to join the horny- handed ones in the field instead of writing “There would then be no necessity for | books,” says M.
