No NAN who feels an interest in the tax
upon personal property, and fancies he can
make any suggestions which will enlighten
the Commissioners or the assessors with
regard to their duties under the law, should
fail to attend the meeting at Lincoln Hall
tonight. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that the act is a fixed fact, and that
it becomes the plain duty of the Executive
to enforce it. 1t is to be hoped that it will
receive liberal construction. and that its
inquisitorial features, so-called, will be ap-
piled in the least offensive manner possible
consistent with duty. This matter is left
by the act with the taxpayer, who is al
lowed to make his own sworn statement to
the assessors as to the amount of his per-
sonal property subject to taxation. We
have no doubt that the meeting will be
characterized with that sterling good sense
and law abiding spirit for which the bust
ness men Of this District have ever been
noted

If OUR Galveston kilograms are to be
credited the Mexican banditti arc striving
to create hostilitics between the United
States and Mexico. These frequent preda-
tory incursions of bandits across the Rio
Grande must cease. If Mexico cannot put
a stop to ii, then this Government will be
obliged to do so. There is no reason to
suppose that the acts of hostility are au-
thorized or wiRked at by the supreme
power or even by the State government,
but il is necessary that they should suppress
them. 1t will not surprise us TO hear at any
moment a repetition of the household words
of 1916, 'that war exists between the two
countries by the act of Mexico" and that
the Texans are pursuing the bandits into
Mexican territory. The Texans are not
of the material which would be very likely
to hesitate upon the frontier when seeking
vengeance upon q retreating invader.
While such an event is TO be deprecated as
provocative of unpleasant and even delicate
complications in our relations with the
MEXICAN Government, there would seem to
be no alternative for American citi-
zens in the vicinity of Corpus Christi 1t
may become necessary for the gallant Nc
Kenzie to infict upon these Mexican raid
ers chastisement similar to that which he
administered to some raiding Indians not
long since who took refuge in the Mexican
territory with their plumber

THE Cincinnati Gazette, in commenting
upon Senator Johnson's late speech in the
Senate, says: A third Presidential term
" is not advisable; 1t would be disregard
" of precedents, and bad practice to in
" troduce but it is not treason, nor i'm
" perialism, nor Cgsarism, nor anything

monopolies as against cheap transportation

associations, The day is soon coming
when the question of power must be de-
termined between the monopolies and the
laborers. There can be- no two opinions
as to which side will win the decision when
the day comes. It will not be the great
moneyed monopolies which can honestly
count the most votes upon that eYentful
day.
The press of New York; was formerly
able to maintain some little claim to cos
mopolitan character. This it can do no
longer. The great railway aud telegraph
and express combinations have completely
overshadowed purely commercial interests
of general character The stock market
is the only thing really worth noticing.
To be sure, they report the, dry goods and
ral,produce and merchandise markets,
but they are noilonger the. prominent fea-
lures of the papers as they were twenty
five years age. Then Tthe business of
New York to which the.press was devoted
was legitimate trade. Now it is stock
gambling and corners. The press assists
the blacklegs of Wall street to stock the
cards on the 'fnnocents. and takes its
share of the gains. And this same press
has an ague of holy horror at the very idea
of fraud in the canals, or fraud in this Dis
trict or fraud by Tweed. ID. 1t sounds to us
very much like the cry of ''stOp thief
raised by the skiIlful robber to cover his
own escape. s.--
