It proves that the revolutionary ideas advocated ‘by such up-to-date Anarchists as the Bvening Post and the Tribune, who ad- vise: people to refuse to pay the tux, Rave s amall foothold tn the minée of our wealthy citizens. ‘The right to retuse to pay a tax levied according to the forms of law is a richt tmberent in the individual only as the Tight of revolution is inherent. It has 0 place under constitutional or common Jew, and its exercise, or even a serious actempt to exercise it, is subversive of government. In times the advocates of auch ce t@ a government would have ‘bebe hanged ae traitors. Kven to-day, in @euthern Btates, poor devils who seck sewede @ tax which they consider un- chased; through the mountains banda, shot down like beasts fesist, and imprisoned for long @ they surrender. In the milder tical climate of New York it Is a dally event for citizens to have their confiscated, their persons setzed and searched, and large fines exacted, all without the warrant of any court, Because they seek to evade & tax which a large proportion of the People, and the Evening Post as well, believe te be an unequal and unjust tax. In what way ts the income tax dodger Detter than the moonshiner or the smug- sie? (On what ground ts It right to ad- ‘veoate non-payment of the Income tax Bnd wrong to advise resistance to the ey tax or the tariff? There could be no more unequal Gevised than the protective turif. tax could be more ununiform than whiskey and tobacco taxes. The only essential difference between the tariff nd internal revenue tuxes and the in- , @ome tax is that the first are paid Ghiefly by the poor, while the rich must Bay the income tax. And grave and Seriqus journals that would shudder at the idea of resistance to the collection @f customs daily encourage their read- ere to evade the income tax! Im the millennial period when heaven comes earth and legislators have ‘Wings, a system of taxation may be de- vised whioh will bear equally in the firet Until that time regularly levied igiy, and trust te the inevitable equalization of exchange to place the tax burden with ultimate Justice, no matter who makes the origi- nal payment. Those who agitate against such a course are Anarchists of the worst sort, for their bombs are laid beneath the fowndations of government, not of mere bulldings, anid their torches tn- flame the passions instead of merely the property of the people. tax No the ANOTHER PLUNDER Jor. 4 wholesale Jol’ was passed through the Assembly yesterday intended to supply the majority with a profitabic @ccupation during the remainder of 1h, year after the adjournment of the Le fajature, and incidentally to secure soine teal capital for the party for next ‘= election. & funketing committee of seven is to Be raised to investigate during the re- @epe all the city raliroads, elevated and Surface, in all the cities of the State ‘The pretense is that us there Ix talk of @ municipal ownership of such roads, It fe desirable to ascertain their honest Gost, and to discover how much of Stcek of existing roads ts “water.” OF eourse, this ‘is all humbug. @hfect is to open the way for the p der of the State treasury, and to provide & profitable Job for a certain set of he _ ate and opportunity for “strikes” by the party bosses.

It ts sald, however, that the Presitent does not yet feel satisfied as to where he is to make his return, whether in New York or Washington, Mr. Cleveland still claims New York as his residence.

In Hungary @ man may marry at the age of eighteen, the girl at sixteen; in Spain, Portugal and Greece the respec- tive ages are only fourteen for the man (7) and twelve for the prospective 1 bride. In France he must be eighteen and she fifteen. In Russia the laws vary between eighteen and twenty for the men and fifteen and sixteen for the women. In Switzerland the various cantons have different laws, and the minimum ages for marrying are elgh- teen and twenty years for the men and from thirteen to seventeen for girls. In Austria and Germany men dors marry under twenty-one (although the Ww allows it at eighteen). Girls may wed at sixteen in these countries. Im Egypt boys of thirteen are often mare ried, and brides of ten and twelve are not scarce by any means. But India carries off the palm. Here marriages are closed in infancy, and a girl of two is sometimes married to a groom @f four or five years, What to Serve with Meata Roast beef—grated horseradish. Roast mutton—cuurant jelly.
