with an almost entire absence of friction and with but few murmurings of complaints. The middle- class, on whose behalf I plead, in, without any stretch of rhetoric, the backbone of the community. They hayo to feed, clothe, and educate their families as befits their station in life. For them there are neither cheap nor free schools, but, on the con- trary, education grows more expensive year by year, as the standard in the ranks below is raised at the coat of the "rate- payers generally. They have thus to contribute to the upkeep of the educa- tion of other people's children, in addition to paying for the private education of their own. And not only this, but their child- ren have also to compete in many walks of life with those the cost of whose educa- tion was borne by the State, thus adding a frosh element in the struggle for a living, and lessening year by year, the chances in the open market of the sons and daughters of the middle classes. When I add to this the natural inclination to hold aloof from any participation in the advantages to be gained by membership of sick and benefit societies throughout the country, I think I have said enough to show that, when any amelioration in taxation is possible, the great middle classes of this country have
a foremost claim to consideration,
Only twice before in the history of the Income-tax has the rate exceoded 16d. in the pound-the first occasion being during the struggle with Napoleon, when the tax rose to 28. in the pound, and the second during the Crimean War, when the rate

the tax-collectors. During the Crimean War a system of differential rates was in- troduced, 10d. in the pound being lovied on incomes between £100 and £150, and 14d. on incomes over £160 a year. These rates were subsequently raised to 11fd. and 16d. in the pound respectively, Shortly after the close of the War the rates were reduced to 5d, and 7d. in the pound. Since then the rate has fluctuated between 4d. and 7d.--once, indeed, falling as low as za. in the pound.
Now, Sir, if history is to report itself, Income-tax payers should be looking for- ward to a further substantial reduction in. the rate during the coming year, but those ugly rumours of deficits obscuro the plea Bant prospect, and lend a degree of general uneasiness to the present situation. Is there no way whereby some relief could be afforded to a most deserving class of In- come-tax payors-those whose incomes

If the first actions on land display a marked superiority on one side or the other, crossing the Yalu pushed forward and she realised her error the other boats had then we may have to recast our ideas. Na poleon, in 1815, counted one Frenchman the equal of one Englishman, but also the equal of two Prussians, Belgians, Dutch- men, or Germans, and on this valuation based his plan. It is not a point upon which the modern German commentator upon the Waterloo campaign dilates at length, but such as it is, and for what it is worth, it stands on record. If we find that one Russian equals two Japaneso, or vice ters, then naturally the question of what 150, 00 Russians correspond to in terms of Japanese units must be faced, and the re- sult bo embodied in the e-maining velocity of the Japanese missile at Kharbin.
The Japanese should beware of becoming intoxicated by their naval successes and should view the military situation with the

THE WRECK OF THE

While. Malts they learnt of the out- break of war and Captain McKenzio deemed it prudent to return through the Straits of Gibraltar, and continue his voyage via the Onpo. The fact that Russian warships were in the Red Son at that Limo influenced the Captain in coming to his decision. They accordingly left Malta on February 27. and the usual precautions were taken to alter the ship's appearance. It is rumoured that the Captain distributed red eloch among the Crow, which they utilised as turbans, presumably, with the object of passing themselves off as Lascara. Of this, how ever, we have no confirmation, but it is more than likely, that Dame Rumour is
correct for once. After leaving Gibraltar the Kanagawa Maru steamed to Capetown, without meeting any of the Russian mon of war. From Capetown across the In- ̈ dian Ocean the voyage was continued, nothing_untoward happening. The Kana- gawa Maru discharged the larger portion The C.M S.
