Where the Burden Rested.
It appears from the returns made be-
fore the income tax was declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court
that the Middle and New England
States would have paid about two-
thirds of the entire tax. The fifteen
ex-slave States would have contributed
only about one-sixth of the whole
amount and the \Vestern States would
have paid the remainder. This
shows that the Bourbon politicians
land Populist demagogues who devised
this odious scheme to fine the people
Of the North were correct in their cal-
culations. The income tax was purely
a sectional measure designed to plun-
der the older sections of the country to
gratify Confederate revengefulness
and WSSDEI‘H Socialism. It was essen-
tially opposed to the fundamental prin-
ciples of American institutions, and it
is fortunate that the detestable scheme
is dead.

Roman Catholics Troubled.
The edict of the pope forbidding
members of the Roman Catholic church
in this country to continue in the
secret mutual benefit orders is making
a large disturbance, says the New Ha-
ven Journal and. Courier. It appears
that there areinot less than 3,000,000
Catholics that carry endowments or in-
surance on their lives. through the
secret orders already condemned, or
others that are pretty sure to fall under
the banin the near future. The ma—
jority of these men are no longer
young, and their admission 'into any
1’ the old-line insurance companies
would be an impossibility. Many-inf
them have been carrying their insur-
ones through their. respective societies
for decades, and the face value of the
policy is about all they have to leave
their widows or families when they are
called away. Under the edict Of the
church, however, thdy are called upon
either to forfeit allegiance to their
faith, which involves a refusal of the
last sacraments or extreme unction in
their dying moments, or to forfeit their
linsurance, With the knowledge that.
after their death, want and privation
will be the lot of those they leave be-
hind them.
- ' Some of those who are deeply inter-
ested in this matter think that perhaps
the holy father issued his edict with-
out a full understanding of its import.
Western Roman Catholics are prepar-
ing to call a national conference of
those of their religiOus faith who may
be members of any one of the secret
benefit fraternities that were placed
under the ban, with the view of taking
steps toward securing,r a rcconsidera~
, tion of the edict and of putting in con-
cise shape a statement of the great in~
justice that will be done if the proscrip-
tion is to be enforced as vigorously as
the action of many prelates in the Uni-
ted Statcs would indicate.

MISS CORNELIA F. BAIRD’S OPENION
Ofthe Sentinel Edition'of the Err
‘ cyclopedia Britannica.
.Edijor of Sentinel. . .
DEAR Sim—In writing a letter of
commendation of the Johnson Cyclo-
pedia it was not my intention to cast
any reflection upon “Britannica.”
I have owned and used almost daily
for years the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its merits and worth are beyond ques-
tion. It is a. vast storehouse of know—
ledge and a library in itself. Any-
one who buys this edition of Britannica
which the Sentinel is offering for
$49.50, will make no mistake. They
will thus secure a rich treasure for a.
small amount of money.
In answer to your questions—Do you
consider a condensed Encyclopedia,‘ in
any form of as much value as this new
edition of Britannica to a family who
owns but few books and who are un-
able to buy books on all topics?
I can say with Dr. Dunning that, in
my opinion the great majority of peo-
ple would undoubtedly find this new
edition of: the Britannica to be the
most valuable investment.

H8 CGHSUPGS the NOi‘WEllk Gas Light
Company FOP Katie Valen: -
tine’s Death.
Knew of the Condition of the Wire
Before the Accident.
Coroner Doten who has been investi-
gating the death of Katie Valentine,
the young girl who was electrocuted by
the live wire on July 17th, this morning
51th the following report to Medical Ex—
aminer Burke :
Having considered the testimony of
the witnesses I find that the said site
Valentine came to her death at Nor-
walk on the 17th day of July 1895 from
a shock of electricity received from a
wire belonging to the Norwalk Gas
L‘ght company, which said wire was
strung on poles on a highway known as
Crescent street in said Norwalk, which
poles carried other wires belonging to
the Norwalk Electric Light company,
which were charged with a powerful
current of electricity. I find that sa1d
wire was out of condition and repair
and had been for several days before
said accident, in that it was loose from
its fastenings and hung down in several
places in which condition it was dan—
gerous to the public. I find that said
Gas Light company had been informcd
of the bad conditionof said wire several
days before said accident, and that said
company were grossly negligentin that
they failed to put said wire in proper
condition when so informed.
From the above it will be seen that
Coroner Doten holds the Gas Company
as being negligent in not repairing the
WHO after they were notified of its con-
dition.
A suit will probably be instituted by
Mr. Valentine against the Gas Com-
pany for the death of his daughter un-
less his attorney, Joseph Taylor, can
make a satisfactory settlement with the
company.

JOHNSON’S ENCYCLOPEDIA-
Opinion of a Norwalk Expert;
After a careful examination of John--
son’s Encyclopedia, I can frankly etite
that it is a most valuable and excellen
work. I was particularly pleased with
the manner in which the scientific
items were written, seemingly with the'
express view of giving concise and ac-
curate information iu such a simple
way, on the most complicated subjects,
that they can be comprehended by the
laymen as well as the scholar.
The happy combination of brevity
and completeness of the descriptions is
noteworthy in itself, and one is im-
pressed at a glance that all matters
treated are up to date.
I greatly enjoyed reviewing the ar-
ticles treating the subjects of electri-
city and steam, in both of which I am
deeply interested. In each instance
the reading matter is simple and cor-
havxng been gleaned from
sources with which I am familiar, and
the illustrations are drawn with as
much care as those of the modern
text-books.
The general make-up of the work is
elegant and I consider it a most neces-
sary adjunct to a complete library.
