on tie roll. Sir Slovenian was . second time
elected Eminent Commander, Good Friday,
March q, 1851, but having cast his lot with the
menced, he was not installed in the ONCE, and
never more presided in the Commandery or re-
sided in this jurisdiction. In June, 1891 the facts
being represented to the Grand Master dispen-
sation was granted 10 US to NIL the vacancy, and
Sir z. d. Gilman was elected June IA, 1901, and
served with great acceptance for one year. On
the Sth Of May, 1851, the Commandery as high
and deserved compliment to Grand Master
French, attended In full uniform, and with side
arms the funeral Of Mrs. French, the only In
stance in which such an honor was ever paid to
lady. In August, 1892, our membership was re-
ported as 49, Q considerable falling OF from the
numbers reported in 1880; but the war was now

From the 18th Of April, 1S47, to the present time
our records are complete For the revival OF our
Commandery 1t that date We were in q large de-
gree indebted to the energy and true Masonic
zeal Of Sir b. B. French, and in recognition Of his
valuable services the CommsLdery (then called
Encampment) elected him its N Z. Grand Com
mandef, and continued him In that position, with
the exception Of q single term, when the ONCE
was filled by the present Eminent Oommander,)

down by the transit exactions of this

THE PROPERTY OWNERS INTERVIEW
THE COUNCIL,

And find them willing to do anything for
the relief of those who have not paid their
taxes on real estate. but are SO much
''hampered by the law that they can
neither suspend legal proceedings. take
city scrip for city taxes, nor open accounts
with each tax debtor for partial payments,
to be made as he may be able to make
them. The Council offers to suspend pro.
ceedings in small cases when the costs
would exceed the taxes. We regret to see
that this reply was not satisfactory. Mr..
J. D. Hill, on behalf Of the larger tax
debtors. incloses an argument in capsule
Of resolutions. and presents it to the
Council. The association thanks the
Council for such relief as is promised to
the smaller taxpayers" SO far as such
are concerned" but adds:
That we deplore their inability to see
their way clear in ex tending the same grace
TO others of their petitioners. especially as
we consider that the train of evils they an.
ticipate from not having judgments under
which to force collections IS largely imagin.
ary. Taxes have heretofore been collected
without duress. and the plan of this season
is an innovation which custom does not
warrant. and which threatens men and
spreads suffering among the thousands Of
taxpayers who will be required to mortgage
or sell their remaining property to dis
charge the city judgments, or passively
stand to see 1t wiped from their possession
by process which will leave no surplus to
come TO them from the sheriff hand.
This caOfaOca; l. Hl-a t6oco atr,c foot
ers" which we used to admire so much in
the P,c'ytne Of other times. Its true in
depreciation requires some grammatical
analysis. According to the plain rules Of
svntaS 1.-THE train Of evils in the text
would refer to the petitioners. but the
least exercise Of reflection will show that
il was not the intention of the mover to
authorize any such inference. because the |
petitioners could have no Judgment" !
against themselves. The assurance that |
this train Of evils" is '.largely mag
inary-ln fac, I mere phantom tram, ,e-
lieyes the reader of all apprehension of |
even metaphorical collision. With en-
tire respect We think the resolutions might |
be extricated from much confusion by |
being restated thus: I'VE regret you can
not extend the same grace to those who |
owe two thousand dollars as to those who
owe two dollars. We do not think you
would run any risk in waving judgment
against the large tax debtors, because !

erty, revenues and disbursements, which
pretty strongly commends it to Repub
ican as party man. 1t will take vas
amount Of patronage out Of the politica
pool to be commended for at the next cleo
ton by putting it practically with the
reach Of the parties with the longest
purse, or greatest financial ability, with.
out being subject to the tax imposed upon
political patronage by the ward meetings.
The wharf patronage alone is worth a
princes ransom and forms a very i'm
| portant element in every municipal cleo
ton. This once removed, the Water
works sold, and the street cleaning let
out by contract, there would be proper
tionate falling off in the interest felt in the
election. The las, campaign demon
strated the fact that this city is Demo-
cratic by majority Of some thousands.
When full municipal vote is polled
it becomes a difficult matter for the
Republican parishes in tie country
to overcome this local majority. In
order to bring OF: the full vote. how
ever. all the interests involved must
be represented in the ht,stings. A very
large part Of the strength of the Demo-
cratic party comes from those who expect
to receive patronage on the leyees, in the
work OF street cleaning and operating the
waterworks. The little six thousand dol
lar prizes offered to successful candidates
for Administrators do not generally in
spire much enthusiasm. as the pay of
each goes to the man who draws it, while.
his power to parcel out pay and emoiu-
n-ent makes him q great man with his
following. Ordinarily. with fair vote
throughout the State. the Republicans
count on about twenty thousand ma ority,
but We can not object 10 having our party
difficulties smoothed down by the with.
drawal of three or four thousand votes in
this city. If we could dispose of some of
the p;rochial offices. such as those of
sheriff. coroner, clerks Of courts. justice
Of the peace. constable. etc. we could
count on fair and peaceable elections. with
assured Republican majorities.
While. therefore. We can not commend
the contract system as an economic
measure, yet We find abundant political
reasons for becoming reconciled to it in
case the Administrators succeed in free
ing themselves from the rather slight
meshes of the law which have been
thrown around them by Mr. Van Houton.
1t will tighten our labors very materially
