Now that the people are awakening to the aiipalling fact that a few thou - sand corporation aud individuals are rapidly absorbing the creatil wealth of the country, the question arisen ii tberea rpmedyl' We lelieve there is an adequate remedy. We do not coincide with the views of those who would arbitrarily limit the accumulation to ? 1,000,000 or t,0o0,o00. Nor woutd we suggest any course that would have the eurect or crusnmg out mat spirit or trntire ci pens? ci the general gotrn enterprise and g-ahead which has j merit We belifte that a carefrl done so much to put the United f consideration of this eubiect will nwtr iu inr iruiii. rjias u: iu: m onu great nations, One of the remedies that we would . m 4..t. i.j - suggest is this: Limit the life time of corporations, sny to twenty-five vears, with no -rower of renewal. This would put a qsietus upon thoae creatures that hae no sonla aud never die." Corporate wealth would then become dissipated and 1 scat tered among the various natural or legal heirs, in about the same time it dots the property which belongs to individuals. In other words,1imira-I tion would play havoc with indmd ual accumulations. Another remedy, and the principal one that we would depend upon, is this: The adoption of a graduattd iucoine ta.v. Exempt all net annua! incomes less, say, than f 2,000. Levy a tax of 5 per ceut. on incomes from 2,000 to 10,000. When $10,000 is reached increase the tax t 10 per ceht. on all above $10,000 and tip to, say, 30,000. On $30,000 up to 50, 000 increase the tax up 15 per cent Ou all incomes from $50,000 to $100, 000 make it 20 per cent, and on all incomes over and above $100,000 make the tux 25 jkt cent The above rate of increase may be susceptible improvement Our fig ures arc principly for illustration though our judgment is that the rates we have given are not far out of the way. The system then would work some thing like this: John Smith, who is a nierchaut iu a email town of a few thousand inhabitants, seldom makes enough in his business, over aud above all bad debts, rents, local tax es, wages to employes, living expenses, etc., (all of which would be-deducted from his gross income), to luy aside as net income $2,000 per year. But suppose we find here and there one who makes $3,000, why such a one would have to pay 5 per cent on all over and above $2,000 which amount is exempt or, iu other words, 5 per ceut. ou $1,000. This would be simply $50 out of his net income $3,000. He would have $2,950. This $50 would uever be missed by a man who has made $3,006. Suppose we liud a man who has made $37,000 clear net profit in a siugie year. 1 educt the $2,000 which is exempt, aud it leaves $3G,000 sub ject to taxation. Ou the first $5,000 levy a tax of 5 per cent, making $250; on all above $10,000 and less than $30,000 (which is $20,000) levy a tax of 10 per cent, making $3,000; ou all over $30,000 (which would be $5000) levy a tax of 15 per cent, making $750. The total amount of taxation would be the sum of $250, and $2,000, and $700 or, $3,000, This $3,000 is the amount which a $37,000 net income wo'.:ld pay. It would be quite a large tox to be sure, but he would still have $34,000 left, and certainly no man ought to complain who has a clean net income of $34,000 iu a single year. He could spare that $3,000 better tliau a man who rorks for $2 per day can atTord to py een 50 cents tax ou what sugar his family uses in a wnoie year. Auu tue pavmeut oi this $3,000 into the public treasurv i would take that much off the ahoul- dera of the poorer classes who pa v j their taxes iu small amounts. It would be iike giving the small ox the long end of the yoke. j Suppose again, that we take a man j who has ait income of half a million, i As we have seen in the above calcu-l latiou, there would be $2,250 ou his income up to $30,000. Then on the j excess of $30,000 aud up to $50,000 there would be a tax of $3,000 ; on the excess of $50,000 up, to $100,000 there would be $10,000 (the rale beiug 20 per ceut); and on the ex cess of $100,000 up to $500,000 there would be $100,000 the rate being 25 ier cent The total amount then would be $115,250. This is what-a man who made $500,000 in a single year would have to pay into the pub lic treasury. Well, of course, such a man, un less he was a natural born patriot like Peter Cooper, w ould squeal. But if he squeaied just take him by the ear aud ay: See here, Mr. Hog, you have got $384,750 left, and if you are not satisfied to live in a country whose business opportunities will enable you to clean up that amouut in a siugie year, then you had just better emigrate to some other country where vou can do bet ter. Not only would such a graduated income tax take the great burden of taxation from the backs of those least able to bear it aud put it upon the shoulders of those beet able to bear it, but it would serve to equalize the possession of wealth or rather prevent the vast accumulation of wealth in the bauds of a few. Of course takiug one dollar from the pocket of one man aud putting it into the Docket of -another brimra those two dollars nearer together. If 10.000 corporations and individuals had to pay $100,000,000 per year into the public trrajury of the people's; government it vroeld bring the 10,-; 000 corporatiosis rid individuals j $200,000,000 nearer the people. j The VanderbilU and Goulds would j Snd tbewK-lves weighed do wr. the; same aa the trotting bore ith j light-weight driver is handicapped ; in a race.

That most diotiugnished cf Jewish-American philosophers, Rabbi Wise, does not welcome the new Palestinian movement, ia to fir as it involves the repeopling of t;i-- iLjIv Laud by the Jews now scattered over the world, including those in the United States. He holds that the Jews who are now here should ttay here, instead of going to the coun try once held by their race ai d try ing to set up there a Jewish State like that which existed b'd'ere the Christian era. The Jews have mul tiplied iu the United States till they number over a million; they enjoy privileges here such as thev cannot obtain iu Asia; they are constantly becoming more powerful; aud tbey are accummulating wealth more rapidly than the people of uuy other race iu the country. Though in their synagogues they are perietually praying for the restoration of Jeru salem, in the opinion of Rabbi Wise, who considers New York far pre ferable to Jerusalem as a place of abode, they could not be made to go there. We are assured that the great ma jority of the thousand rabbis iu the United States hold views like those held by- Rabbi Wiseupou this subj-ct and that only the Russian and Pol ish rabbis who have recently come here take any other view, or believe that the prophecies of restoration are to be literally construed. The recent discussion of the new Palestinian movement in The Sun has called out many expressions of opinion thereon from our .Jewish contemjwraries; atid we have been struck with the fact that all of theui which have fallen under ei:r notice are of one accord. We do not know of a Jewish-American paper thai favors the migration to Palestine of the Jews in the United Stte;-. We quote here but a couple of brief ex tracts from two of these paper as specimens of many that Liiht be quoted from other papers. The Jewhh Tidings of last Friday .ays: "The conditiwus iu this country will have to change mightily before the Jews will forsake it for the laud of the prophets. As for the Jews of the United States, it can be snid that Palestine has no ind-e--,me.ata for them." The Jewish Jfes.c;imr of tht same date gives its judgment iu a;i elabo rate article: "The utterance of the Rev. Dr. Kelt of the Episcopal Church, that 1'alesttue will soon be ready for the Jewish race, has absolutely no weight unless he can show that the .Jewish race is ready lor ralesune. .Jewish public opinion on this subject is not difficult to ascertain. The great majority of Israelites who share the civilization of the day aud are ac corded civil and religious equality; give no thought of returning to Pal estine. If the traditional iew ot the fiuaPiugatheriugand the rebuild ing of the Temple is still rtpeated in the prayers, it is held as a theory like that of the millennium amonc: oar Protestant brethren, who are iu no hurry, however, to abandon Wall street, the Standard Oil Company, and Western mortgages iu conse quence. So Israel is not returniug aLd does not waut to return. It looks no longer backward, but ahead and around!" Though the Jews of this country are thus nearly unanimous in declar ing that they will never go to Pales tine as settlers, it is certain that a good many of the Jews of Eastern Europe are going there. As we styled a few days ago, the Jewish population of Palestine has more thaq doubled within a short time, aud those of the Russian aud Polish Jews who have been prevented from coming to this conutry are turning their eyes toward Jerusalem. If the Czar continues to maintain his anti Jewish policy, millions of his Jewish subjects will be compelled to find homes somewhere outside of Russia; and there is no doubt that siuce the Turkish Sultan now favors their settlement in Palestine, they will make homes for themselves there. Whiletbe Jews who are in this country will etav in it there are euouirh Jews in Russia alone to give Palestine a larger population thau it e wr ba l in anv sat ajr.

Here and there a fal len free obstructs the road, and marks of a detour up the bauk arid through the broken underbrush of the adjoin ing wood are visible. A little stream dashes over the road in a et seasons, trickling sweti lcllab'es as it glides away. In dry reasons -here is an ugly and inconvenient furrow left by its overflow.

Truly the gray squirrels have the bet of it There few houses along the road. A population remains sparse and scattered where there are no roads, and there, too. are found those path etic households of the old and help less. The young men aye, aud often young women are gone to the towns gone anywhere there is a chance for them. If tbey had raised good crops, tine fruits, how transport, them to market? If they had good horses, the hard wear aud tear of the roads used them up. If they were ingenious or thrifty there were no neighbors to givo a word or two of wholesome praise, to keep up a friend ly competition, to trade the. barter ideas with; there was-worn out think ing in the old grooves as well as worn out harness. And in the short winter days and long winter nights "the house was drearily isolated from other houses by long stretches of muddy and rougbt ways, and the iight of a human face at the door was startling, Do you wonder tnat old supersti tions and prejudices and old feuds survive in lonely country districts, and old despares and fears cloud the brain? It has been said that the Salem madness of witch murder was greatly due to the slow and infre quent communication between the towns of old days. T here was time for ui: heal thy brooding. We don't hate our neighbors if there is a brik intercourse; if we have cried over their dead and rejoiced at their good luck and been helped by them on days of worries and hurries. We don't doubt the divine kindness when we see it revealed in the kindly faces of men and women about us. The loneliness and isolation of country places where no roads, or worse than none, separate not con nect places, tbbj is the secret of human overflow into large towns, and when those who go are mentally and monilly uneducated, of crowded slums and tenement houses and even viler places. Man needs man. The best part of tducatiou is not in na ture, not in books it is iu human intercourse. The free shows of the - i i.-ii.i." i- i i aireeus iiuu uuiiemi uoarus, woru flashing to meet word, the continual presence where news is made,.where life is acted getting knowledge at first band this is a cart of the city's training. But you will say truly that it is but poor stutf many of its scholars get profanity, voice, all manner cf vileness and that they ought not to need to come to town to get its better elemtuts. Well, give them, then, a wholesome country intercourse, neighborly talk set iu clear air, the spectacular play of shower aud sunset with others beside Ihem to look, too a country with roads and they will stay content A nation of roadmers is a nation of educators, of civilizer. and the day when a hearty interest ia road making springs up m the country will be the day which marks the beginning of the solution of some of our most serious social and political problems.
