We have long known that no city on this

as New York and so heavily burdened
with taxation, but the World makes q
comparison between taxation in that city
and taxation in English cities, which
throws new light upon democratic rule
in this country.

From the Albany Journal
The Truth About Florida.

The democrats hesitate to renew the
Florida investigation, because If renewed
it will reopen the whole question, and
they are not sure but they will lose more
than they can possibly gain. Ii all the
facts connected with the canvass of the
votes are brought out, they are pretty
sure to get the worst of it, There were
allegations at the time of ATTEMPTED ir-
Irregularities on both sides If the demo-
Gratis could deal with those which are i'm
puied to republicans, they might create
some smoke. But if they must expose
their own practices, the loss viii be
greater than the profit
For example, one of the principal accu-
sations against the republicans is lhat they
manufactured about two hundred votes in
Archer precinct. Alachua county. This
Is among the chief points made ia the r.
cent confessions" But in fact il is only
the repetition of an old charge which has
been exploded by positive testimony. In
the contested case of Bsbee VS. Finnev
which has been pending in the House the
republicans have established by aflidavits
OF actual residents that the return of their
vote for this precinct is substantially cor
rect. while it is clearly shown that the
democratic vote is several times larg r
than it could legitimately have been. If
an investigation is to multiply such ex-
hIblts, the less the democrats have of il,
the better for them.
Amid all the conflicting allegations. if
may be difficult to get at tie exact rac,s
in all cases. There were probably some
grounds of suspicion on both sides The
character of the politicians who MANAGED
the affair does not invite the fullest conf.
dence in their operations. But amono
those who were present and watched the
proceedings were honest men from tle
North, who had excellent facilities for
knowing the truth, and whose expressions
are entitled to full faith. We have had
the opportunity of comforting with some
OF these men, and their Judgment is that
Hayes had a small majority on the face
oil the legitimate returns and larger ma.
Jority on the honest vote.
