The CI.y Asssssmsn...
MORE INEQUALITIEs.-A COMPLAINT IRON
WM SILvERs ECO.

Never since the formation Of our municipal
government have the complaints In regard TO
high and unequal assessments been so loud and
general as this year. Annmber OF alterations
were made by the eOuIS Of appeals, but still the
people co nplained. A few weeks ago, WIN.
Baxter sent in petition ~ Council, setting
forth that his property on Market street, be-
low Front, which he purchased In February
last for ~, 200, was assessed only few weeks
later for $1,000, and on this assessment Mr.
Baxter had TO pay. the tax. He Appealed to
the City Council for relief, buS his D titiOn
came in too late, ss he failed to appear before
the Court OF Appeals and have the assessment
reduced.
Last evening, at the meeting Of City Coun-
Gil, similar petition was received from VIM.
Silver. This gentleman respectfully Seta forth
that the Washington HOVSe, on Market street,
above Second, which he purchased for o2O,-
900, was ass sed at S24, 600. The hotel rents
for 1900 per annqm, The interest on the as
Sessed value Of Che property, and the yearly
taxes amount to 81, ,733. Deduct from this
sum the yearly rent, and there Is left &433. less
than per cent per year, that the owner gets
from the property.
The petition also alluded to the prOpersy
No. oil Market and &C. Shlpley streets, which
was purchased and improved, at a cost of e20
900. The assessment is $22, 500. The property
rents for 81 800 per year. The interest on the
assessed value and the taxes amount tOS1 ,625
90 which deducted from the annual rent, leaves
$l75,tO pay county taxes, Insurance, &c. in or
der to allow the owner rea'iZa q per Oept.O
his investment
Mr.. Silver also TefeVs, as an opposite illus
tfation, to property In the Ninth Ward, fol-
which he was once offered Sl3, 900, which wa
assessed at 5000. Also some butlding lO'
in the same Ward, which are assessed at $3.50
per acre, while adjoining land, unimproved
has recently sold or $500 per acre.
Dir. Sllver's petitions for rellet from thl
unjust a. oSSment: but iud0in0 from the dis
position made by Mr. Bakers similar petition
his appeal will be In vain. There Is only ont
thing to do, and that IS 70 grin and bear il,
until change In the political complexion o
our municipal government, places the assess
ment on a fair and equitable basis.

LIBEL.-Speaking of the prcrent law %. libel
Ia Pennsylvania, wIich does not pcrm.t the truth
to be established In justih SatiOn the PIttsbu 2
leader says "Penrs sylvania as good Safe for
a corrupt or licentiOus public man to live in"
This is in exact accord with the view we express
sed long ago that the law wes evidently made by
corrupt politicians for their own benefit. By the
way, the kingdom OF FIJI has had its first libel
suit, which resulted Ia the vludicatiOn of thefFee
dom OF the press. The Fiji Times was prOsecu-
ted BY the government for stating that officials
were endeaVoring to incite the natives against
the whites. The jury acquitted the editor, and
added a rider to their verdict that ths statement
was true
