DRAMATIC POLITICAL SOCIETY,

; i seems that politicians and office
seeRegs are not alone the advocates of re-
formo There is another demand for it
more tangible and earnest than the fire.
! quently expressed wish Of partisans on
the street. It seems that our theatrical
tax in this State is larger than that Of any
other in the Union, the State being $500
and the city tax $500, making $4,000 in ALL
Against this excessive imposition the man
ayers very justly complain. But this is
not the worst of it. Notwithstanding the
enormous tax they are required to pay, no
adequate protection is afforded them.
Ihnerant showmen come to the city, and
by the deXterous use Of few hundred
dollars distributed about the Hall, are
permitted to appropriate the public parks
and squares, and even the Lyceum Hall
for their exhibitions Their tax is COM
paratively nothing, while their income is
enormous-one single circus company last
year having netted nearly $50, 900 in a
week.
The theatrical managers having tried
every available means to correct these
evils, and falling are now pursuing
course which may prove more successful.
They are forming political club out of
their employees The five theatres control
nearly thousand votes This vote will
be cast solidly for men only pledged to
procure the reform asked for. In the
third ward it will undoubtedly control the
elections
But :his is nos all they require. They
say that some means should be devised to
do away with the dancing-saloons where
theatrical performances are given, They
pay comparatively no license and are a |
hideous nuisance on the fair fame of the
city. Vice and debauchery in these places
arc open and undisguised, and obscenity
is the prevailing spirit that rules their
orgies.
If the scheme of reformation is carried
out in the manner it was related to rs
there is little doubt it will prove effective.
And certainly under present laws theatri-
cal managers have hard time of it.
They pay larger license than any other
branch Of business and really have less
than any other Reform, there
form, in many essential features is imper-
alive.
The entire body Of respectable citizens
would eagerly rejoice at the closing of
he dance-houses. Other cities have got
id Of the offensive nuisance, why can not

When Mr.. Ogden said in the twelfth
ward that our insignifcance protected us
from his wrath he furnished US with a
sentence ready made to apply in another
direction. Mr. E. Booth is almost too
weak to merit criticism. It was a great
misfortune when he quit making hats,
which he probably understands, to lecture
on law and politics which he does not
comprehend. A weak man in possession
of sublime principle is like feeble man
with the sword of Richard in his grasp.
Legal maxims are never to be read sepa-
rately because they constitute amosaic of
reason that becomes deranged unless all
its parts are taken together. The consti-
tutional expression that mo person shall
be deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process of law, ;" is merely de-
claratory ola general principle without any
reference to special observances. The
"'process Of law referred to is the require
ment of the law ITSELF and not of parti-
cular form. When Mr.. Walton proceeds
according to the statute regulating tax
collections, he complies with the constitu-
ton by proceeding according to educ pro-
cess Of law" That is, he issues all the
'tprocess" demanded by 'the law In
one class Of suits the defendant can dee
mand petition, citation, notice of judg-
ment, and copies of all the papers filed by
opposing counsel. This is merely stat
utory regulation, with which the constitu-
ton has nothing to do except to enforce it
so long as it remains part of the code.
The same power that provided this "'pro-
cess substituted another sort of ''pro-
cess" in tax suits. Both are legal, being
derived from the same authority, This
difference was established for the protec-
ton Of the people, and in order to relieve
them from the onerous expenses of a regu-
lar case
Another instance The mortgage Gre
ated by the law in favor of the banquette
contractor is not such an Infringement of
vested rights as the constitution denounces
as illegal. If it could be so construed,
then an obstinate man might prevent any
improvement from being made in the
streets or on the banquettes in his vicin-
lty The law relaxes in its protection of
mortgages in order to protect society. And
it also protects society by making all pri-
vate membranes secondary to the gem
eral lien Of the public. That is, govern
ment, which is merely the will of the peo-
pie, declares that the good of all is para
nountto the good of one. This maxim
overrules the lesser principle that no man
shall be deprived of his property except
" due process of law, for in an emergency
he chief of the fire department can blow
mans house up in order to save the
property of his neighbor
If Mr.. Booth understood the law better
le would not be SO ready to publish his
oily.

For what purpose was the Walker
Guards organized? Was it to restrain
that distinguished suicider from another
sudden disappearance, or was it to insure
that if he makes another and genuine
attempt to. dispose of. himself to cur ad-
vantage, the effort shall not be failure !?
A positive understanding on these two
points Will enable us to determine our
own feelings toward the Walker Guards.

Mr.. H. N. Ogden lavishes about as
much sympathy on the Italians under
Victor Emmanuel as he does on ourselves
under our own government. If the latest
victims Of his sympathy are not suffering
any more than the first, we do not feel
warranted in believing that the Italians
need our immediate help to effect their
deliveranco from despotism. They are in
no danger of suffocation at present.

These are indications Of busy times
ahead. It seem as though commerce is
determined to invade us, whether We will
invite and encourage it or not. 1t ex-
tends its arms to US from the sea and
land, and it is not necessary to say that
the offering will be gladly accepted and
improved by our people. With driving
and prosperous business, will come bet
ter fortunes for the people, who will, after
the next election, hardly think Of politi
clans and their cries for reform for the
ensuing four years. This will inevitably
be followed by marked improvement in
all the relations of life. Individual pros
perity will beget public prosperity, and
our taxes, now so onerous, will be light
ened by the having Of more ample means
to pay them. It will illustrate the great
difference between an industrious, thirty
ing, happy people and community with
every other man a vain seeker for en-
ployment

A VIEW OF CITY FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

A VIEW OF CITY FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
An informal report of city affairs, made
by the Administrator Of Public Accounts,
is before Us in pamphlet form. It is quite
an elaborate document, presenting facts,
figures and suggestions in regard to the
present city administration that will prove
interesting, because they form an oppose
Of its workings under the present form of
our city government. The bureau system
was advocated. and finally adopted as a
means Of securing a more efficient and
economical administration of affairs than
had been realized under the old CITY char
ter II the anticipated benefits under the
new system have not yet been realized.
that fact should not, necessarily, condemn
the new form Of government. Ig NAV be
that further legislation is necessary az
suggested BY Mr.. Shaw, to secure all the
benefits that were confidently looked for
under our present system Of municipal
government; but it is at least unfortunate
that the Administrator could not see the
difficulties that lie ii the path Of his official
duties at the commencement instead Of
the close of his term.
