THE DUDLEY BILL VETOED. OOVBRNOR BLACK REGARDS IT AS A SCHEME OP CONFISCATION. HE BATS THERE IS NO ItnOENT NEED OF MONET WHICH tVOCLD Jl'BTTFT TH13 tTNTTSUAX. TAX ON INHERITANCES, ,' Albany, May 21 (Special).?Governor Hlack an? noun<*f*d to-dny that he would not approvi? the Dud? ley Inheritance Tax bill, which true drawn by Con? troller Koborts. His reasons for this action aro stated In the following memorandum: "Under the law now existing In this State a tax I of 6 per cent Is Imposed upon the transfer of all I property, real or personal, above $500 in amount, when such property prisses by the death of the owner or la ?-or.veyed by him in contemplation ef death. To this gonernl provision there Is an ex- ? ception. which includes cas?? where the persons ? taklnK nie psrost?s, children and a few others ? specifically named. In casts embraced in the ex- | ??eptlon the. tax is reduced to 1 per cent, nnJ ni>- ! piles only to personal property above $10.000 In I value. T!il? proposed bill increases the 5 per cent tax upon personal property after It reach's $.*???,000 ' In value, at the rate of 1 per cont for every f>__0,0iJ<) | or major fraction thereof, until the Increased rate | ahull roach IT. per cent. It also incrcn-es tbe 1 per ? cent tax upon personal property until that tax reaches H per cent. The increas?* begins when tho estate Is worth ?,0????.(?>? nnd continues at the rate of one-hnlf of 1 per cent for every $2f.t...0o? up to J2.r/*o,?XiO, at the rato et 1 per cent for every $_.??,,000 thereafter up to the 10 por cent limit. "It is apparent thnt this bill makes a radical change In the law. B**BJtStBS which under the pres? ent statute would pay a tax of ."? psff cent might, under the proposed bill, pay ? tt;x of 11 per cent. Est?tes whleh would now pay 1 per cent might. ander the Dudley bill, pay 10 per cent. For a change so sweeping. ev??n If It? effects fell upon nil alike, there should be substantial reasons. Con? ditions hav?? SStSted, and may ur.n.n, when burdens almost overwhelming in the form of taxation wer* necessary, and wiv borne without complaint. Hut those wero war ?.lin??*, and tho conditions theft nnd now bunr no rssSBabtsooS), STATE NOT IN NEED OP MONEY. "The State Is not In need of money. Its tax rats Is comparatively low, nnd Is likely to be less be? fore tt Is greater. Tho people will pay next year to the State only $2 G7 upon every t_,BQB of prop? erty. A farm a*sc*?i*d at I2.O0O will pay to the 8tate in tuxes J? 31. This bill affects only the State tax, but tho ItStS ?ax is not oppressi?,e; It Is the county and City taxes that beer so heavily, and eomo means should be adopted to mak? this fact appear. Th? Legislature Is Invariably held re? sponsible in the public >n!nd for the ti.x rat?:?, and yet only once in ten years ha? the Stato tax reached JC 50 on Jl.OnO. If extravagance in lo? cal afTair? wore corrected, the tax burden would be prently reduce?l, and I believe that the I-ccls lature ?should require that tax bills and mx war? rants ?hould be Itemlr.ed bo as to show the State. city and county taxes separately. In order to put tho r?teponsl!)Ulty where It b?longs and suggest a | remedy for overtaxation. This bill, th? rrfore, can? not be defended on the ground of the State's ur? gent need for lnrrc,ii?'iJ revenue. "It has been claimed hi support of the hill that personal property to a very lr.rge extent now evades taxatl.??. This may ??e true; but. to my mind, this till Is not the proper remedy. Personal property Is now subject to taxation under the laws Of this State. If that law were? properly enforced there would be but llttio evasion. Tho fault le ?with the otlic?rs of the law, and not with tho law Itself. It 1? not denied that personal property >n some cafes pays its ?hare., and yet this law, in or? der to reach those who have eva?!ed, would punish those who have already paid. This State ought not to confess that it is powerless to enforce its laws except liy grouping the innocent nnd gul'ty together and punishing tho whole. There Is noth? ing In tho present time or condition to demand that confession. "But there are other considerations which to me are controlling. The operation of the proposed law might Impose the most seri ?us hardships. It ts not unusual that the death of thosa living to an advanced age is soon followed by the death of a successor in the direct line of descent. This law j would deduct 10 per cent upon large estates for each death, so that tn case of two deaths one-fifth of the entire property would !??? appropriated to | the State, and this, perhaps, upon property that bad already paid its full tax. in ease? whore the maximum tax is 15 per cent, the amount taken by the State would be still greater. f*1?01? rf*s'>s a*"?* not improbable or remote, but If they were both the State should not create such a contingency Without the am.ple.et Justification. A rENALTT, NOT A TAX. "Hut the strongest argument against this bill Is that th? rate proposed Is not uniform nor fair. There le no re?.scn why one man's dollar should pay more than another man's. There Is no reason Why the last million dollars ef a man's property | Should pay more than the first million. The dis? crimination between the two is a penalty, not ? tax. Under thla bill an inheritance of ??.???,??? would pay a tax of 110,000, and an Inheritance of %A,iM.0W under similar circumstances would pay VjoO.wo. The Inheritance would be enly four times as large In on?} case as In tlio other, but the tax would be forty times as much. If this is constitu? tional it ought not to MJ, Every dollar ought under th.? same conditions to pay the same tax. Any other th-orv of taxation is not only unjust, but dangerous, if such a tax aa this could be Imposed ai.y other might be. "In this c-.untry equality is demanded in nil things, and taxation must certainly be included. if this rule were not adhered to one sot of mon might without restraint impose a tax for another i?et to pay. Un.lmit???! ?. iWSf of discrimination cannot i-afely be trusted to any one. A stop like thle wou.d cost dearly In tho long run. The experi? ence of last summer and fall had a significance which should ke?p us from fol.owing dangerous trails. The country ma?le gootl its ?-sea),e thon, but the margin of safety was not enough to tn counigc? the diKitrln" that laws may be passed Im? posing burdens from which those who pass the ,aws may exempt themselves, "In this country the right of suffragi Is catrlod too far. DanKsrou? elements from abroad are yearly vaccinated Into our population. Restless? ness, apparent or just under the surface, l_ far too prevalent. Legislatures, depending upon popular Vote, are changing every year, and are seldom too conservative. If we are wise we ?hall adhere to the rule that a man who parses a law must abide by it him.?*if. "The claim that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer Is not true, and would have no bearlns here if It were. Poverty Is not Increasing, but the accumulations of the Industrious are ?uad lly on tlie gain. We have had hard times, to he Bure, but this stringency comee not alone from a decreased income, but from a too liberai way of living aa well. In times of prosperity expenditures are made and habits Indulged which can be sus? tained In prosperous times only, but when tho In? come shrinks these habits become headstrong. Our burden then seems double, because a reduced income Is struggling with the tastes and habite left over from prosperous times. RICH NOT SPECIALLY PROTECTED. "Neither Is It true that the rich fSSSiTB great?* prijtecrtlon from the Oovernment, according; to th?*>lr property, than the poor. The reverse in probably true. This Is Illustrated in the case of fire and police protection and school facilities. Those pos sesse4 o? large Incomes can, through the employ? ment of servants, protect themselves against lire. and the Inroads of criminale. They can, and to a very large extent do, edu'ato thf-lr children out sido the public sebe?le. On the other hand, people of moderate means depend wry larg?ly upon the Government for the advantages nami a. Tness lai ter considerations hav?. no proper wight upon problems like those Involved In this bill, and they are alluded to here ??nly heraus?? the tendency is srowing to thrust thera into the discussion of every public ?jucstlon. "it has been urged before me In opposition to tills bill that wealth/ p???? nay leavi Ins lists in case it becomes a law. This is a <lans* : which I should not have tbe slightest hesitation In encountering, provl'i?d t/.e bill was just. Taxation should be fairly imposed. e\en though the rich might prefer to, leave 'he State rati,..?: Iban best their share, but we should be certain that ? proposed act is e?iuitabie before we face the risk Ol or,vin- millions of property now in this Stat?

STRIKERS TO PRESENT IT TO THE BOSSr.S j MONDAY?CASKS OF WANT. While the East Side tailors held no maes-meetlnge ] yesterday, there was a long session of the Joint Ex- ? ecutlve Committee of the unions of this city. Brook- j lyn and Brownsville, In Walhalla Hall, to put the j finishing touches on the new agreement, which will be presented to the bosses on Monday. Although several of the manufacturers have shown a strong? desire to settle the present strike as soon ns pos? sible, Meyer Schoonfeld. the leader of the strikers, wa_ hy no means confident yesterday that this would result, as the largest manufacturer* have not yet come forward with any proposition to better the condition of the strikers. -Mr. Schoenfeld sent notices to all the tailors for a list of the unsatisfied Judgments for wages which tho.v had obtained from the bosso? In the last five j years. His Idea is to show the public how the tailors have b???*n cheated out of their wages by Irre- ? sjwnslble contractor?. Tho members of the Progressive Tailors' Union I have voted in favor of striking, and will receive their wag. s to-night and will not return to Uie shope on Monday.

He had no money when the Strike began and yesterday he and Ids family, consisting of his wife and three children, were round lying rick In bed.

Another cas?, was that of Samuel Sam? uele, of No. ?.'3'.? Henry-st.. who has a wife and five children. He used to make tX a week at his trad??, but for the last yenr he declared that he had only averaged ll a week. He said he had pawned everv tliintr he owned, and he was to lie evicted because he had be? ? unable to pay his rent for the last two months. Even his children's clothing had been pawned.

The New-York and Harlem Railroad Company in 1873 leased to the New-York Central and Hudson River Rallaos*] Company It? steam line extending from Forty-sccond-st. to Chatham, In Columbia County, and the connection with the Postoti and Albany Railroad. Tlie Central agreed to pay to the Harlem stockholders 4 per cent seml-antniiilly on 110,000,000 of Harlem stock, and to pa) the In? tereet on $12.>??0.??*1 Harlem eonsolldated mortgage bonds, the rate being 7 per cent per annum, and to pay the principal at maturity. May 1, li'OO. The lease provided for an extension of tbe payment of tho!12.()00.000 consolidated mortgage bonds by the Issue of n?>w bonds, at Hie request of the Central, by the Harlem, at a rate of Interest to be agreed upon, the new bond., j,o bo _e tired by a mortgage to be given by the Harlem on Its property. A provision In the. lease as to the payment of the $12,000,000 consolidated mortgage bonds, or some part thereof, hns been construed by the Harlem stockholders as enabling that company now to ex? tend Its consolidated bonds at a reduced rate of Interest <3'a per cent per annum), and to claim of the Central during the unexplrel t.r:n of the lease (877 years? the payment to It of the remaining S'i per cent of the 7. amounting to 1420/00 per annum; or, In other words, the ('entrai would have to pay at maturity the extended bonds and 31. per cent Interest thereon until maturity, and also pay the Harlem f-4'.?,??? per annum for Its own uses. Tho Central repudiates this claim, and Insist? that Its obligation to the Harlem Is only one of In? demnity against the principal and interest of the consolidated mortgage bonds, and to pay only In caso of extension such reduced rate of Interest as the money for the purpose of extension can be obtained for. gomo week? ago each company entertained propo ?Itlons for an extenilon of the U2.iXO.G00 loan for 100 years at 31. per cent. Meetings were held by the directors of the Central and tho Moekholdera of the Harlem, the last-named meeting being held for the purpose of obtaining the consent of the atockholders to the new mortgage. The Central has associated with Its general counsel, Klink Lo.,mi?, A--", el Green and Edward J. Pbelps, lat? Minister to Eng? land, for the purpose of asseiilng and protecting its right?. The Central directors, under the adviec of such counsel, passed a series of resolutions asserting the position of th*? company, denying the right of the Harlem to any payment to It on account of the $;.,?"?<>,?.??) coneolldated mortgage bond.-, or to ar.y payment on account of tii* same other than the payment of the reduced rate of Interest end the prin? cipal at maturity, and requiring the Harlem to malie and issue new bonds at ,"!'_ per cent, or SUCBJ other rate as might be agreed upon, and to he se? cured liy mortgage for the purpose of retiring the old bun?!?, and instructing Its counsel to tab? all neepssary legal action in the premises to preserve and protect the rigots of the l'entrai. At the meeting of the Harlem ?toekhoid??r* the resolution? and demands of the Central were served upon the ehairman of the meeting, and under sdvles of counsel the stockholders authorized ?ts directors to execute the new mortgage to secure the ??-.? bonds to be Issued by It. thus ratifying the position taken by the Harlem directors and rejecting the de? mands of the Central The next step will prohably be an action or pro? ceeding by the Central to obtain a Judicial determi? nation of the controversy, which is obviously of great importance to the stockholders of each com? pany. In the one case the Central will be relieved of the annual payment of $120.mio, and in the other case th?? Harlem will annually receive that sum for Its own use. and thereby Its stock, whleh Is now at 300. will he greatly appreciated. THE COFRTS. MRS. MONTAGU GETS A DIVORCE.

The cars, when the collision occurred, were Jammed with women and children, who had fled to them as soon as the rainstorm broke out.

Three northbound cars were at the top of tha hill waiting for the signalman to sign them down? ward when tar No. 087, with Koerier in charge, ap? proached from the south. As he neared the last rar on the hill Koerner seemed to lose control of his ?t??, and his car came on with great rapidity, crashing Into th.? rear plutform of the car ahead. That car In turn crashed Into tho two cars In front ? of It. The cur nearest the edge of the hill started ? on Its downward course, the passengers shrieking I ulth fright*, The grlpmnn in charge, however, kept liis ulis about him. He applied the brakes until lu? BU<-ceeded in preventing the wheels from re? volving, and the car slid down the hill easily and I sped out of th?? way of ?lunger with all on board safe and sound. Workmen in the yards of the cablo company near BJ) ruabod to tho scene of the accident when they beard tbe tumult. They found Koerner in great |,uln lying on the floor of the front platform of his car, anil placed him In an ambulance, which I hail been summoned.
