The Civ A.sena,nen,z.

There il always complaint about the city as
sessnents. Property in our goody metropolis
increases in value 30 fast that the owners don't
know how rich they are until they find the val
uAtion marked up by the Assessor. It seems
that some OF them are again improving this
wear. Here il a story told by the Gdzette-
1--WE will cite one case to-day in proof OF
what We say. II is that Of Mr. Southard, 1921
Market street. His property il for sale at S1O-
600 part cash. But the Council persisted in as
sessng il sll 500, notwithstanding Mr. s. ap-
haa labeled his house ~ follows: For sale; in
qure within or at the City Council. Owners
plics 100000. City Councils price sl1.5OO. 0NM
This case must be. however. the only one the
Gdzstte knows Of, this being the second time ii
has printed il.

snow in NInIne-A PIessant PIace for Picnic

party of gentlemen were fishing few days
ago, up in Maine, about hundred miles north
Of Portland. On Friday week, the heat was
almost ntolerable, and they left on their return.
After riding few miles they stopped to engage
in game OF SNOWFALL, at drift of enormous
dimensions. Two miles further they stopped fer
the night, and at that place the mercury that day
had marked 105 degrees in the shade. The drift
in question was seventy-hve feet high when
formed in the winter and it bids fair to last the
rest OF the summer. This mass of snow is 30
phenomenal to that part of Maine that the peo-
pie propose to celebrate its presence by picnic
on the fourth Of July, to which the denizens
OF more temperate regions will be welcome.
From all accounts, it is reasonable to infer that
Maine had its full share of snow last winter. No
one there complains Of dry streams or low

"Nops,p,lcuI Report y

The Republican, under the above caption
says that the COMMERCIAL. very thoughtIessly
published a report that three Republican
members Of the City Council were favorable
to the election of Greeley to the Presidency,
and the Gdze seizes hold Of it with avidity
" in order TO show that Grant has become very
unpopular" Whether the report was " nom
seneical, or not, we decline to let the RtpIbli-
can decide it was an assertion positively made,
and with much evidence of satisfaction by the
Greeleyites. The nonsense" il seemed to LID
was, that Republican members of Council should
80 talk and act as to make the assertion possi-
be, at all. And even the Rtpublodn, it seems
eln only give it a qualified denial
Our notion is that three members Of the City
Council can't elect Greeley, any more than the
three tailors Of Tooley Street could resolve
themselves as I'VE, the people of England"

The OutrnRC Gus Violation Of Private Rights
on Ihe fourth of July.

Nothing has yet been done, 10 far as we know,
to preserve the safety and quiet of the city on
Thursday. 1t is therefore certain that the day
will be observed with the usual saturnalia of
NOISE. In Baltimore, the Marshal of Police has
issued au order fOrbidding it, (as is the rule in
all the large cities) and we notice that the order
ID received with the greatest satisfaction. A
physician writes to the American that
a." ], for one, have four gentle horses, yet none
OF them can be driven on the Fourth Of July
with any safety either to myself or te pedestrians
One 0i them ran off on last Fourth Of July,
breaking my buggy and almost causing the
death of lady and child, who were on the street
at the time caused by the ''letting of OF one OF
those harmless little things" In our practice
We witness the distress and agony OF the sick
caused by this nuisance. l repeat, we are eve
witness OF this fact every Fourth Of July, and
this one reason alone should be sufficient to de-
ter any cOnsderate individual from obiecting to
the humane order Of the Marshal. Let the
young folks OF America be taught to eVnce their
patriotism in some other way than by annoying
their fellow citizens, aud causing distress an
agony to the sick Of our city,
And another correspondent says:

ician of this city state that he lost two of his
children by commissions produced by excessive
fright from the reckless use of fire crackers on
