A list of questions was sent out by the Oommisaion, aad the answer, are set forth in this rolume. The gentlemen to whom the questions were put were the late Lord Farrer, Mr.

L. Gomme, J. W. 8. Callie, and C.

P. Banger. A cony of a memorandum drawn up by Sir Edward Hamilton, who is a member of the Commiwion, was also sent to the recipients of the questions. The terms of reference to the Commission, which appears to be proceeding with its work in a TeryMlxsisurely'wsy, trere as follows "To inquire into the present system under which taxation is raised for local purposes, anil rvport whether all kinds of real and personal property contribute Suitably to such taxation end, if not, what terations in the law aro dcsirablo in order to secure that The questions nddreaed to the experts, to which a classification table was appended, were the following 1. Is tbe classification of Imperial taxation indicated in tbe accompanying tabic a correct classiflcatioB if not, what alterations caa you suggest Aaauming the classification, is it complete, and are the seTeral items correctly distributed 3.

In particular should such an item aa thenet le venue of the Pott OSice be treated as a. tax, and, If so, under which of tbe beads specified in the table 4. In considering the equity of any tax or system of taxation what tests should be applied S. Can you offer aay suggestions which would assist the Commission in determining th question of tbe real incidence of taxation a distingoiihed from its primary or apparent incidence C. Could yoa, for eTampie, state your liew aa to tbe real incidence of (a The inhabited house duty (i lUtes leTied on booaes and trade premise (e) Rate lerled on agricultural land (fj Tate ca the transfer of property 1) laze on trade pronu () Death duties 7.

Should tbe two kinds of purpose aad the expend! tare on them be kept distinct, or should the expenditure lor local purposes do paruy borne by tne central GoTemment 9. Should local rates be divided between, owners and occupier of real property, and, if ao, in what pro portions 10. Should ground Talasa be separately rated for local purpose, and, if to, on what principle 11.

Under what euoditions aad in what manner would the rent which could be obtained by an owner of land or rateable hereditaments be affected, if at all. if sa occupier by whom a rate bad hitherto been paid were empowered to deduct the whole or a portion thereof from tbe rent in th same manner a he ouw entitled to do ia the case of income tax Schedule A) IS. TChat is the eSect, if aay, upon rent of rating property (a) On different scales of doty according to th rahie of the property (6) On different scales of duty according to the character of tbe proper tj or the purpose for which it is used 14. Caa yoa make suggestions to the Commission as to any methods of raising rerenne for local purpose otherwise than by means of rate 15.

Does say point cot included under any of tbe foregoing questions occur to you on which, baring regard to the term of reference to tbe Commission, you wish to express aa opinion The answers occupy some 210 paces and are well worth the attention of students of finance as well as of the Commission for whose use they were prepared. But the most valuable communication is Sir Edward Hamilton's memorandum. This document was prepared in July, 1S97, and in a note dated June SO, 1899, Sir Edward ssys In revising this memorandum for publication after an interral of two years, I baTo not attempted to bring the statistics up to date, and still tees to meet any criticisms on questions of theory or policy but I hare contented myself with a rery few minor amendments of the wording and the calculations." The nature of the difficulties which the Commission was appointed to consider is. admirably set forth in the. following passsgc, taken from Sir Edward's conclusions If we except the recent extension the estate duty ia its graduated form and that extension only affects a limited class of persons little or no omplaint is made of the sereritT of aay particular tax Which is levied by Parliament.

It may hi said that rich an assertion it inconsistent with a recent finding of tie majority of the Boysl Commissioners who reported Ion the relations between Great Britain and I Ireland. Bet we are cot concerned at this moment with the question whether our preaeat financial ytem urease uauuly oo oae part of th United Kingdom in comparison with another, but rather whether that rystem is equitable aa regards the things in respect of which members of the community at large are taxed. At any rate, tbe old cry for retrenchment on tbe part of the Qorernment of tbe day is no longer beard. On the contrary, constantly increasing demand are made on every Chancellor of the Exchequer to provide more money for existing and fresh terriees. It appear, therefore, that the country acquiesces not unreadily in tbe hug expenditure undertaken by tbe State, and this acquiescence, to which possibly a sense of rain received coo tributes; may be considered to afford fairly good proof that, with perhaps the single exception of the estate duty.

Imperial taxation as a whole ia not felt to inflict any aenooa strain on the community. It is otherwise with rates. The ratepayer is perpetually complaining that rates (to use an hiMvrie formula) have increased, are increasing, and ought to be Tbe rounds of the rate collector are viewed with real, apprehension, foreboding, as his approach generally does, om increased demand. The mast popular platform on which a candidate for a vacancy on a county council or on a board of guardians ean take his stand is an undertaking that be will use his utmost efforta to reduce the rates, or, at any rate, to prevent a rise in tbem. It is the immensity of the expenditure of local authorities, not of tbe central estbority, which comes home to tbe people of this country, and Trtnfr gave rise to the appointment, of our Commiminn.

The ratepayers are always demanding to be relieved at the expense of tbe taxpayers, though in part they are one and tbe came body and this of itself may show that it is not Imperial, but local, taxation from which the pinch comes, or, at any rate, where it is felt.

Ia future, an officer who has received in action bodily injury certified by regular medical authority to be very severe," though not equivalent to tbe loss of a limb, may, at the discretion of tbe Secretary of State, be allowed a gratuity of from three to 13 months' full pay of the appointment held at tbe time of tbe Injury.

If, after the expiration of 12 month, the injury i certified to bo liioly to be permanent in its effects, the officer may be granted temporary pension at half the rate prescribed ia tbe seal laid down ia Article 619 of tbe Pay Warrant. Such pension will be renewable from year to year at tbe discretion of tbe Secretary of State. If renewed for five years aad the bodily disability continues the pension may be converted into a permanent one. Tbe Jl tufir WocSrAiUa punliaaes aa article on shooting testa ia the German army with reference to the rifles and to the men. Ins preliminary test for men desirous of entering the special shooting class that each man shall make three consecutive centres at 150 metres.

The centre of the target used is 30cm (about 1ft.) ia diameter tbe three point hit must cot be distributed that they cannot be enclosed in a rectangle 2 4cm. high by 18 broad. The superficies of this rectangle is 432 sq. while that of the centre is 707 aq, cm. In testing the rifles the gun is pointed resting on a sandbag, and five consecutive shots at ISO metres must hit a rectangle 48cm.

high by18 broad. but no two shots must be more than 2 I cm. distant a vertical line, so that the five points hit must also in this ease lie within a rectangle 24cm. by 18. It is evident that this test permits a rifle with a dispersion of, say, 20cm.

too high or too low at 150 metres to pas mutter. It Is necessary, therefore, that the user of a particular rifle should know it dispersion, but it is aa open question the dispersion ascertained at 150 metre'' holds good for greater distances, or when the gun is not bald borixoatally. Ia testing cartridges SO shots are fired, and 96 per cent, must hit points within a rectangle 40cm. high by 25cm. broad, aad 60 per cent, within a rectangle 13cm.

high and 10cm broad. This is dons fire times, aad the whole of ths 150 shots must have hit within a rectangle 17 metre high by 24 metres broad.

The total cost of the scheme would be at least 1,500, though 2,000 would be really required to make the home thoroughly efficient. That the institution would be much appreciated is, we thfavt shown by the fact that the officers, non commissioned officers, and men of the garrison have subscribed 150 towards ths project.

The residents of the city and county of Limerick have also generously supported the movement, and in all 1,000 has been subscribed. It is for the remaining tnat we venture appeal most earnestly to the public, believing that many would be glad to assist in pro wing an institution which would be an inestimable boon to th garrison.

As to the value of gold In tbe Transvaal I will not dispute tne amount lor a few millions more or lees, That the riches of South Africa ought to have been, long ago, known to your Government goes without saying.

for I well remember my old acquaintance. Edrar 1 I Lieupcua uajaru woom i anew aome years ago as your Commissioner for the suppression of the slave trade on tbe fortugnese border) proceeded to London ia 1866 to impress upon the Colonial Office the vast mineral and other wealth of that territory, but the dictum of that self conceited, bouncing, braggart Palmers ton reigned supreme' the man who haa lived 40 year in the country, and speaks tbe language ia never to be trusted." i nave not seen Layard for 30 years and knuw not if he be alive or dead, but his views have been confirmed, and I have' no doubt but that the views of the eminent Ueraan, American, and other reoloeical and mining experts we have employed will be confirmed in tbe year to come. But, of course, there ia an element of tpeculatioo in the matter of which I will make you a present. 2. That no British Government dares to Increase expenditure on your military force, either Regular or auxiliary, nas oeeu proved every year since toe greatest military epoch tbe world baa ever seen the tnnmpn of 1570 71 of the German military mechanism over the French ciprit tU cerpt, tlan.

and other fanciful figure or speech, otherwise you would have an army of men who could shoot, hven as far back aa 1C7. after the Aostro Prussian war, aome 60 member of your' it a 5. i iuuw vi nan mocuiif aou ueciaea that compulsory military training was absolutely necessary for 'maintaining the then exalted position of tne enuu conpue, on I ear ox tbe Untiaa working man prevtutea tnem iron, tcinging that matter publicly forward. 3. That you can be starred into submission in spite oi jctux iiaTj.crtai is were tcree.ume aa Dig as it is, is admitted by all intelligent Britishers who have any practical knowledge of the matter.

Your Chancellor of the Exchequer and a few other learned cranks who have much knowledge of the Greek mythology but no know ledge of modern business life hold a dinerent opinion, lor wnicn ana au your otner dear foreign friends. are duly tnansful. 4. That yoo have to hire the dregs of your popula tion who are deficient in physique and in all the qualities that make good fighting men is proved by your Army report on recruiting, which are too long' to quote here but I will quote a few words from that highly respectable Tory paper the London Standard, of December IS, 1897, in a latter signed Anglo Indian i These letters are full of admiration of ths heroism and self devotion of the British officers, aad the gallantry the Gordons, Goorkhaa. and Sikhs.

but they also state that the rank aad. file of at least four British regiment showed a want of. go and pluck which rendered them all but useless. The wont of lt is that the native troooe have seen the weak neas and cowardice of their white comrades, and they state openly that if any Tommy is rude to them in future they will hammrr him. And the awful thing ia they ean." 6.

That your officers are without the capacity for practical warfare is proved br the celerity with' which they throw themselves into any or trap that is laid for them. Rr am pins occur ia. every oae of. your wars, tne last oeing we trap xor tae iancers at Umdnr ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

Rvnimi their incapacity to march even a few. miles at a moderate rpeed in. their own country. I compare your official military report with thosa of Italy. France.

and Germany (tome of whose troops march five to seven mile per hour), and with what I have seen myself, and under the most favourable conditions it is evident that the marching power, endurance, and stamina of your voluntary dregs Is about ban tnat oi tbe manly cations of Europe. Look also at your Army medical returns and the enormous noepital entries and Invaliding rates 7. I need not say anything in support of my state ment that the British race is rapidly decaying Mr. Arnold White, in the National proves my state ment up to the hilt, a alao did his letters published in i ac itaes awn vurce years ago. That your women are helping your race on the road to ohTsieal and moral rum is rid eneed by the won derful growth of foeticide and infanticide amongst all elasse and by the immense extension of Mai thus ion appliances, which are now openly on sale in almost every chemist's shop ia the Kingdom.

The British women will not waste their time and money in pro rfneiniT a f.milr. but exceed evervthinr ther can ret in extravagant dress. See the Strand and PiccadUly at midnight and your churches and chapels on Sundays. 8. the physical condition of your principal officials is oi importance oniy a it uo vocir poucy, poucy of nine tentbs oi your siasosznen, aaoerai ana conser vative, being a policy of snivel, snuffio, weakness, whininr.

Tbe latest newt it tnat your men are ureaxing leave that desertion ia extremely frequent even in cuch unpromising places as China and Japan. There is another great element of weakness which affects nearly half of tbe pcrioiuul, but of that I will speak no further.

10. Tbe troth of tne statements ta par. 10 of nry luttnr prardinr bad ahootinf is to well known and urn vsraally admitted by all British officers that no further proof i required. ll. Tnat tbe omisn wursmg ciasaea wui dos perxoii themselves to be taxed in pocket nor submit to any form of compulsory military or naval training is proved by the uttemnoes of member of farliament, by the great Sunday new i pa per and labour publications of all kinds, and by nearly all the religious bodies in Great Britain.

As for tbe absence of patriotism in the working classes let me refer you to Arnold rort ten letter in Tke Timet of Saturday, ana to tne itauvay licnev. the railway servants to take advan lam th Breseot little war to strik. We have the support of the great majority of tbe Nonconformists, although they are just now too prudent to proclaim it publicly but after the first or second reverse that you will hare' they will come forward with these noble humanitarians.
