HAVE now on hand supply of this old es-
L tablished favorite, which has been thorough
ly tested for the past fifteen years. 1t has been
much improved by the addition of Ammonia
rendering its action much quicker than before.
1t is based on Pure Raw Bone, and warranted
not to contain any heavy mineral matter, thus
saving to the farmer about one-fifth in the way
of weight, to say nothing of the superiority Of

TANBANY TAXATION AGAIN

When the Corporation organ, some weeks
ago, boosted that Tweed had reduced taxation
| in this City by the enormous amount of two
cents on hundred dollars, we exposed the de-
ception by showing that the apparent reduc-
ton was brought about by an unprecedented
increase in the valuation of property, and was,
therefore, no reduction at all. We have since
received the graduated valuation made by
the Board of State Assessors, whose bust
ness il is to equalize the assessments in the
several counties, and put the burden of
the State tax upon an equitable basis so that
each county shall bear its due proportion and
no more. If Board of Supervisors, with a
view of evading just share of the State tax
for their county, put the valuation at figure
below strict justice, the State Assessors bring
the figures up to TIE proper standard, and
upon their dictum the tax for the year is levied.
SO, in the case of extravagant generalization,
a similar rule applies and the figures are cut
down to the proper standard.
Now, with reference to this City of New
York, groaning under the rule of the Ring,
what are the factss Tweed tells us that the
valuation of taxable property for 1870 is
s., 047 1886, 44O, and on this basis he gives us q
taA-Ide ol =" 80 upon cdcn SloO' Duo 'ho
State Assessors astounded at the frightful
total of valuation, clip off nearly $12O,0OO,0OO,
and, as q matter of course, raise Tweed's
Sc rs per 500 to So 54-almost 10 per cent.
higher than his pretcnse. Then, too, the Ring
lie foolishly about the annual rates. The rate
for 1867 for this City they put at 81 67-the
real rate was So 81; in 1906 they say it was
50 so, but the State Assessors have it 81 81.
Let us see how this extravaganza valuation
works. and for this purpose we will compare
the City of New-York with dozen counties
here and there over the State that usually
give substantial Republican majOritics. We
make the aggregate population about equal
between city and country. The counties selected
embrace at least three of our largest cities

times IA heavily IA those of tho rest of the
State.
This is the visible part only of Tammany's
terrible taxation If we are ever permitted to
know the extent of the debt of the City. we
shall doubtless learn that it has been doubled
within six years. Reports are no longer made
from the Controllers Office; the law requiring
the publication before election of the estimates
for the following years expenses was repealed
last Winter by Tweed, and there is no means
whereby the taxpayers can get any certain in
formation concerning the financial condition
Of the City. The Controller Cor rather Mr..
Tweed has carloads OF blank bonds,
at his elbow, any amount OF which
he can put on the market or issue secretly to
his confederates, at any rate of interest, or none
at all. a. he sees fit. No one outside the
Ring can tell whether the City is solvent or
bankrupt, nor can any one hope to know I'M
I'll we have put down the rascals of the Ring,
who have been for years up to their elbows in
the pockets of the taxpayers.

,SHOW THE FIG UREI

III in business house the cashier were to
refuse the parties interested any account Of
receipts and disbursements, and the book
keeper should conspire with him by refusing
to permit or make any exhibit of the books,
there would necessarily be an instant suspicion
of fraudulent management If the cashier
should succeed, by resort to vile devices OF
law. in keeping his employers from all lnOwl-
edge of their affairs for year and half,
suspicion of dishonesty would be SO strength
ened that the sanity Of the employers would
be denied if they did not use every possible
effort to GUST the suspected servant.
Tammany has been and is playing this role
through the City Controller. For year and
o half there has been no report OF the
Auditor published, and the people, having
their cashier and bOOkkeeper combined against
them, are in total ignorance of their assets
and liabilities. When the report OF the
Auditor was nearly year overdue, the Con-
troller, who withheld it, was struggled into
continued term of office by legislative trick
which made him an appointee of Mayor
himself the product of political jugglery.
Such procedure was vicious in principle, as
it removed the public money from popular
control; and when used to keep in office
Controller who had made an impcnetrable
mystery of the public finances, it became an
outrage such as no community should patiently
endure.
Controller Connolly cannot afford longer to
neglect to make that full exposition OF bis trust
which the law requires and the people de-
mand. Whatever may be the frightful total
in the wantOn misuse of the public money, tho
people insist on knowing the whole truth.
Any further delay in tho submission to gen
eral inspection of clear and complete exhibit
of the financial affairs of the city must be
regarded as evidence of the unfitness of this
public servant to have them in charge. 1t is
an unpleasant dilemma for Tammany and the
Controller either to refuse OF to furnish true
statement OF the city finances; but they put
themselves into it, and we insist that they
shall get out in one way or the other.

SPAIN IND HiLY.

The French Republican Government will be
rather loser than otherwise by the accession
of Prince Amadeus TO the throne of Spain.
The event will put an end to the power which
Spanish Republicans, as such, held in the
COrtes, while yet Spanish Republic and
bond of sympathy between the Governments
of Spain and France were among the posi-
bilties. The persistent opposition of the Ital-
ian Government to the Republican leaders of
Italy may serve to indicate the course that
will probably be adopted by Victor
Emanuel's son toward the Republican party
when he comes into his new Kingdom; and with
regard to France, it is not at all likely that
he will exhibit q cordial friendship for the
Government that welcomed Garibaldi. In the
entire proceedings during the present war
respecting Garibaldi, the King Of Italy has
displayed the utmost solicitlde to take that
course which would be least likely to offend
Prussia. With this in view, the old hero was
kept virtually prisoner in his island home,
cut off from intercourse by mail and telegraph
with France; and Favrc's proposal to take
him from Caprera in a French vessel was met
by a prompt refusal on the part of the Italian
Government.
The probable policy of the new King Of
Spain must from the force of circumstances
be similar to that Of the King of Italy.
Neither can afford to favor to any great
extent a party that is opposed to Kings; yet
each will have come to their thrones when
the prospect of liberty lay open to their
subjects-an unfit time TO claim the old
fashioned prerogatives of monarchy. 1t seems
probable that the House of Savoy in both
Spain and Italy may serve in preparing the
people of those countries for self-gOvernment.
BY constitutional monarchy and liberal insti-
tutions their reigns may span the precipitous
chasm that so often intervcnes between the
older forms Of hnsly rule and the freedom Of
young Republic. The personal popularity
OF the he Gdldatu6mo has been his shield of
defense against popular uprisings. 1t is said
that his sons, too, have pleasant heartiness
of manner that may win for them a place in
the affections of the people.

WAR TOPICS.

There have been very gross cxaggerations
about the quantities Of arms shipped to
France by English manufacturers since the
outbreak of the war. According to an au-
thentic statement published in London on the
10Th inst, it appears that during the pre-
vious three months less than 10000 brecch- load
ing guns had been exported from England
onc-eighth of which went to Holland, and the
remainder to France. There are no orders for
arms in England from the French Govern
ment, and the English manufacturers have
none for sale. From the United States, the
export of arms to France has been largo
during the last two months. Including the
cargo that went out last week, Ameri-
can manufacturers have shipped nearly
100000 rihes-partly to fill contracts and
partly on speculation. The orders still
in the hands of American manufacturers
are unlimited. We had a telegram from
Tours q few days since that the Proyis-
i0nal Government had distributed 100000
rifles, and would soon be ready to distribute
another 100000. If the dispatch had said
that 100000 rifles were distrbuted-instead of
ten times this numbcr-and that 100000 more
would soon be distributed, it would have been
more nearly correct.
"A gentleman of this city recently received
from Germany q collection of twenty of tho
Photographic heads of the leading command
ers of the Prussian army now in France.
The photographs were confined to the heads,
and no indication was given of the profession,
position, or names Of the parties represented.
The whole of them were submitted to noted
phrenolOgist and physiognomist of this city
for his judgment upon them-no hint being
given him concerning them. After studying
them for some time he said, in reply to an
inquiry that not one of these persons was pos
sessed of a military head or expression
The energies of British humanitarians are
very actively engaged in alternating the dis
tress caused by the war in France and Ger
many. The "Socicty for the Relief of the
"Sick and Wounded' had, at latest accounts
from London received subscriptions amounting
to nearly $2.OO0,O00 and the agents of the So
ccty have done an immense amount of phi
lanthr0pic work. We estimate that about half
a million dollars has gone from this coun-
try for the relief of the distress of the war
most of it for the benefit Of the German side.
The war spirit of the women of Germany
is quite as strong as that of the warlike sex.
In every possible way they have sustained
the strength and enthusiasm of the army, and
of supplies and in taking care of the wounded
or sick. The German papers are filled with
facts illustrative of these statements

The World happily hits the truth when it
says that the Election law Of Congress ought
to be entitled "a law for diminishing Demo
"cratic majorities." We are glad to know
that the law which has hurled such dsmay
into the councils of Tammany is admirably
adapted to the purpose, and viii undoubtedly
have the effect OF very materially diminishing
the manufactured majoritics by virtue Of
which John Il. Hoffman is now Governor of

Honor very pretty little banquet which cost
over 5000, about fOur-iifths Of that expense
being for liquor-though of course the Mayor
did not drink it all. 1t seems there has ever
since been a dispute about this bill, tho
officers wishing TO pay it out of the funds of
the Association, while the members, who got
none of the feast, not unnaturally objected.
The Mayor has at last solved the difficulty by
giving the Association $500 "for benevolent
purposes" and the trustees have gratefully
acknowledged his muniiiccnt donation, (which
