Mr. Edmunds on the Situation.
Hon. George F. Edmunds has been
visiting New Orleans, and receiving
there the graceful and genuine hOSpi-
tality which distinguished visitors may
always confidently count upon at the
hands of that charming cosmopolitan
city. In the intervals of excursions
on lake and river and dalliance with
the orange and magnolia, the famous
Senator has been discussing public
affairs, and among other questions,
that of tariff reform. This he does
with his accustomed good sense, and
What he says is worth considering.
Touching the prOposed income tax
he makes the point that it is not only
uuw1se but unconstitutional. “This
Constitution,” says Mr. Edmuiids, “re-
quires that all taxation shallgbe equal.
The income tax measure will make 'it
unequal.” He illustrates by supposing
the case of a man whose income is de—
rived from real estate. That man is
taxed first on the property from which
he derives his revenue, and afterward
on the revenue itself. This happens,
at least, where the preperty produces
more than $4,000 per annum—say
34,100. If, however, the income be
only $4,000 he is taxed upon the prop-
erty alone. Thus, if A, with a revenue
of $4,100 were taxed 1 1-2 per cent.
locally and 2 per cent. by not of Con-
gress, he would be paying 8 1-2 per
cent, while B, with a revenue of
$4,000, would be paying only 1 1-2. A
would pay an annual tax of $143.50,
and B, with only $100 less income,
would get off with $01.50. The practi-
cal operation Of such a law would be
to force A, in simple self-defense to
give away $2,000 of his capital—sup-
posing it to yield 5 per cent. revenue——
in order to escape spoliation at the
'hands of his government.
Mr. Edmunds very naturally desires
the defeat of a measure which so clear-
ly offends common sense, and so obvi-
ously violates the Constitution. Nor
has he any confidence in the income
tax as a revenue-producing expedient,
because of the great difficulty and ex-
panse attendant upon its proper and
equitable collection. He looks, indeed,
to a duty on imported sugar as the most
promising alternative, and says:
“I don’t think sugar, however,will be
placed on the free list finally. It is, no
doubt, the disposition of Congress to
make itduty free. But what is to be
done for revenue with which to run the
government? Being pos1tive in my
opinion that the income tax meas-
ure will not become a law, I am pretty
sure that sugar will not be placed on
the free list. The revenue to be derived
from sugar is too valuablefito the gov-
ernment to go free in the face of wide
expenditure and a deficit.”
He stands, indeed, where a publicist
of his experience and‘enlightened ap-
prehension might be expected to stand
——opposed to a tax which is unequal and
therefore unconstitutional; which will
in practice be enpensive to the govern-
ment, oppressive of the individual, and
productive of unnumbered evils, and in
favor of a tax which will yield the larg-
est results at a minimum of public cost
and private inconvenience. Mr. Ed-
munds is neither a demagogue nor a
visionary. He is a statesmanand a pa-
triot.

The Strange Case of Frank Little- l
fair.
Bound Over to the Superior Court.
The arrest of Frank Littlefair, night;
clerk of the Adams Express company
at the depot, charged with burglarizing
the carriage factory of Henry Tillcy at
South Norwalk, as published in Tues
day’s GAZETTE, has created consider-
able excitement in the town.
The prisoner was brought before Jus-
tice Barrett Tuesday afternoon at 5
O’clock for a preliminary hearing. The
court room was packed with an inter-
ested crowd all anxious to hear the
testimony against the accused produced
by the slate.
Ofiiccr Gladstone was the first wit-
ness called. He retold the story of his
discovery of a man coming from the
rear of Tilley’s factory and his hailing
him, which caused the burglar to drop
the bag containing the tools and his
flight down Ann street closely pursued
by the Officer. He also told of firing
two shots in the air to stop the fugitive,
which failed to make him stop, and
then his firing one shot at the man
which failed to hit him. The subse-
quent inquiry at Solman’s stable re-
garding the bag and the arrest of Lit-
tlefair who had borrowed a similar bag
from an employe of Mr. Solman’s a
short time before, was also fully related
by the officer.
L. W. Smelledgo, the assistant night
clerk at the Express company’s office,
testified to Littlefair’s asking him to
check up the freight on the Washing-
ton cxpress as he was going to a cock
fight; that he left the ofiice shortly be-
fore one o’clock and was gone about
one and a half hours. He also des-
cribed the clothes worn by Littlefair
that night, which tallied with the dos»
cription given by Officer Gladstone,
who plainly saw the man as he ran under
the electric light on Ann street.
Charles W. Seymour, employed at
Solman’s stable. testified to loaning Lit-
‘tlefair a bag like that dropped by the
burglar at a few minutes after twelve
o’clock that night. He would not sweur
positively that it was the same bag al-
though they were both alike. He also
stated that Littlefair told him he was
going to a cock fight, and that when he
handed him the bag the prisoner placed
it under his vest and went away. He
further testified that he requested Lit-
tlefaii' to be sure and returnthe bag,
which the prisoner promised to do.
Officer Pennington was next placed
upon the stand and related the search
for Littlet‘air and his arrest at 2:30
O’clock Tuesday morning as he came
down the depot platform from the res-
taurant. He also described the cloth-
ing worn by the prisoner, which corres-
ponded with the description given by
Smelledgo and Officer Gladstone.
’ Samuel Kittridge, the owner of the
tools found in the bag, was the last wit-
ness for the prosecution. He told of the
manner in which the tool chest had
been broken open and identified the
tools as his property.
Frank Littlefair, the prisoner, was
then sworn and allowed to tell his story
as follows: “He said that he became
intoxicated Monday night, in fact was
full up to his neck. He wanted to go to
a chicken fight at Five Mile River and
take a bird with him,so he went to So]-
man’s stable and borrowed a 'bag, and
after asking Smelledgo to check up the
Washington express freight for him,he
left the Ofiicefishortly before one o’clock.
He went to his half brother’s on Mon-
roe street and got a bird out of the coop
and started for Five Mile River. ‘When
at the second bridge the Washington
train passed him; saw no one on the
way down; met the gang and went to an
unoccupied barn and started the fight,
but a cry of police was almost instantly
raised and he grabbed his bird and ran;
looked for his bag before leaving but
some one had taken it and he was obliged-
to bring the bird back under his arm;
after placing the bird in the coop he re-
turned to the depot and was arrested;
knew nothing about the stealing of the
tools.”
On cross‘cxamination he stated that
he had made arrangements last Satur-
day with a Stamford man to fight birds;
could not tell who was present at the
fight excepting a Stamford man known
as “Blur”; did not remember what he
told Smelledgo before he left office as
he was very drunk; no one went with
him; had asked Harry Wilson, one of
the drivers, to go and he refused, had
also asked Seymour to go; did not know
where thc‘barn was located but could
find it again; thought it was after three
o’clock when he was arrested. He de-
nied all knowledge of the burglary and
did not hear the shots fired by Officer
Gladstone. ,
After hearing the prisoner’s story
Justice Barrett held him in $500 bonds
to app‘ear before the next term of the
Superior Court.
This morning a gentleman called up-
on Mr.Tillcy and informed him that on
Monday night at 9:30 o’clock as he was
passing the factory he sawa man skulk-
ing at the rear and soon after heard a.
crash as though a door had been forced.
If this be true, as it doubtless is, as the
gentleman is a responsible party,it may
through new light upon the burglary
and assist in. capturing the guilty party.
The Route Agent of the Express com-
pany was in the city this morning and
had a long talk with Littlefair, who
stoutly protested his innocence. Before
leavmg the agent instructed Mr. Hunt
to put Littlefair at work as soon as
bonds can be obtained for him.
Littlefair was released this morning
on bonds furnished by his mother-in-
fiwars. Mary Rooney and Henry

WONDERFUL FEATS os MEMORY.
Some Minds Have a. Facility for Retain-
ing Certain Classes of Facts.
Among those who have performed
great feats of memory Cassell’s Family
Magazine mentions Dr. li‘ullcr, author
of the "\l'oriiiies of England.” He‘
could rep-cat another man‘s sermon
after hearing it once, and could repeat
five hundred words in an unknown
language after hearing them twice.
l-Ie one day undertook to walk from
Temple Bar to the furthest end of
Cheapsidc and to repeat on his return
every Sign on either side of the way
in the order of their occurrence, and
he did it easily. In such feats as this
the eye plays a chief part; yet blind
people also have good memories. Rev.
B. J. Johns, chaplain of the blind asy-
lum, London, testified that a large
number of pupils learn the l’salter and
that one young man was there who
could repeat. not only the whole of the
one hundred and fifty of the prayer-
book Psalms and a. large number 'of
metrical psalms and hymns, as well as
a considerable amount of modern
poetry, including Goldsmitli‘s “De-
serted Village,” but the whole of “Mil-
ton’s “Paradise Lost,” with marginal
notes and a biography. Lord Macau-
lay on one occasion repeated to him-
self the whole of “Paradise Lost”
while crossing the Irish channel. At
unotlicr‘tiine, waiting in 3. Cambridge
coffee-house for a post chaise, he
he picked up a. country newspaper
containing two political pieces~one
the "Reflections of an Exile” and the.
other a “Parody on a Welsh Ballad”—
lookcd them once through, never gave
them a. further thought for forty years,
and then repeated them without the
change of a single word. 'Macaulay’s
mind, some one has said, was like a.
dredging not, which took in all that it
encountered. both good and bad, nor
ever seemed to feel the burden. Very
much unlike a dredging net, and more
like a strainer, are the minds of some
other persons who carefully select
what they will retain or have a natu-
ral facility for remembering special;
classes of facts—George Bidder for fig-
ures, Sir W. Scott for verses, Mezzo¥
faiiti for languages.
IMPROVING _THE EYES.
Country Life Said to Be the Best Antidote
for Poorness of Vision.
ltis satisfactory to be told by LIP-I
Ellis that blindness in England is
“slowly decreasing,” though Great.
Britain still stands in this respect "be-T
hind two other European countries,
and three more come before Ireland.
Shortsightcdncss, however, appears\ to
be increasing everywhere, Germany
having [a signal and sinister 'preemi4
nence in this respect.
AFrencli doctor has noted the re-,
markable fact that wild beasts caught
quite young or born in captivity be-
come shortsighted, the conclusion be-
ing that the eye adapts itself to its
habitual sphere of vision, and unless:
“educated” to use Mr. Ellis’ term, to
see objects at a distance, loses the
capacity of so doing. Even in after
life the eye may be, to some extent, s3
educated, though probably only when
the myopia is not considered.
It is thus within the experience of
the present writer, says the London
Spectator, that his sight greatly im-
proved in days gone by, when he be--
came a volunteer, by practice at the
butts, so that While at first he could
not see the target to shoot at without
spectacles at a three hundred-yard
range, after a. twelve month or so he
only needed to put on spectacles at
four hundred yards. But beyond that;
range he was never able to dispense
with them.
Country excursions are,_ therefore,
extremely valuable as means of;
strenghening the sight of town-bred
children, and the conductors“ of such
excursions should take pains to direct;
the eyes of the children to distant obj
jects—to‘ the furthest hill, church;
tower, or other land mark—noting, if;
possible, any incapacity to discern the:
selected object, and then selecting,
some nearer one fortlie wzeakeif sighted.

ROME, F eb. '1'.—-The carnival season at
Civita Lavigna, 18 miles southeast of this
city, has been brought to an abrupt close
by the cowardly assassination of one of the
prominent residents of that place.
In 1884 Signor Ciampauella, a resident
of Civita Lavigna, became involved in a
dispute with a young man named. Falcini,
and the latter was killed, it being subse-
quently proved that the killing was .done
in self defense.
Falcini had a brother who at the time of
the killing was 10 years old. He deter-
mined to avenge thedcath of his brother,
and as the time went on he began to lay
his plans to put an end to Ciampanella’s
life. The latter was to have been married
today, and great preparations had been
made for the event. The invitations had
been issued, and almost everybody in the
village, which has only 800 inhabitants,
expected to have a dance and a feast.
There will be no wedding. Early this
morning Falcini, who is now 20 years old,
avenged his brother’s death. _ He treacher-
ously cut the throat of the expectant bride-
groom and then placed the corpse in the
nuptial bed that had already been pre-
pared. Falciiii then surrendered himself
to the police, acknowledging his crime
without the slightest trace of remorse.
The bride elect was informed of the fate
of her intended husband, and some of the
friends took her to the room in which the
murderer had placed the body. When she
saw the corpse lying on the nuptial couch,
her' grief was frightful. It is feared that
she will lose her reason.
Falcini’s sister and brother-in-law have
been arrested, it being suspected that they
instigated Falcini to commit the murder
when he did.
The town was horrified when the news of
the murder was made public, and the car-
nival Ietes were at once stopped.
