Red uoing Taxation.

The Board Of Apportionment yesterday
passed the provisional estimate for the ex-
penses of the city government for 1879.
The total amount is 500, 2S4, 470, a reduction
OF nearly one million dollars from the final
estimate Tor tho present year. The total
amount this year is $50, 104. OFT, and the ac-
tual reduction sS19, ,607. Some of the items
may be still further reduced before the final
estimate for next year is reached, and, as
the city revenues applicable to the yearly
expenditures have under prudent manage
ment increased, the taxpayers are likely to

British official magnanimity and gener-

Having ascertained precisely how difficult
and expensive it will be to reduce to terms
the Ameer of Cabul, and having considered
how inconvenient it will be to have him on
hand as an active enemy next year, when
the fate Of tho Ottoman Empire will be

ment has about made up its mind that it
will forgive the Ameer all his terrible
offences if he will just come down to Pesh-

the main trouble will be how to put such
nm issue of the squabble in the light Of
magnificent and overwhelming victory.
British journals in India are calling the
attention Of the government somewhat
sharply just now to. the number of the armed
forces maintained by the semi-indepen-
dent princes It appears that these forces
reach the remarkable total of $50, 900 men.
They are regarded rs a danger to British
dominion, and the recent attempt of some
of the princes to secure breech-loaders for
their armies is commented upon in vein
not at all comic; for naturally, as it is the
tone of English writer's now to assure the
world that Hindoos are marvellous soldiers.
they cannot decry the mettle and quality
of the same soldiers in tho pay of native

Jusaice in Kentucky.

Some time ago we recounted the history
of remarkable murder committed in
Whitley county, KY, by citizens of Ten
nessee, who had gone into the neighboring
State in pursuit of their victim as fugi-
tive from justice, but upon whom they
vented their private revenges on the way
home. Those desperadoes are now fug-
tives from justice in their turn. Our
special despatch, in another column, gives
the facts Of their indictment in Kentucky,
Of the offer of large reward for their cap
ture and, finally, of their fight, escorted
by large number of their friends. II
seemed ut one time as if the citizens of that
part Of Kentucky in which tho crime was
committed were Indifferent to the outrage,
and that fact was naturally attributed to
the circumstance that the victim was
negro but we are glad to note that the
Kentuckians in fact see this case in it's
true light, and see that justice is justice
without regard to persons, and arc not will
ing to forfeit the good name of their county
for the protection Of persons who are guilty
Of fragrant violations of the law.

We invite the attention Of every citizen
Of New York TO the question of our Croton
water supply, because it is fast becoming
one of serious importance to the welfare
Of the community. Two points in connec-
tion with il must form the basis Of deibera-
tion. These are the increasing consump-
tion due to q rapid growth of the popula-
tion and the extension of the built-up area,
and the fact that tho highest capacity of the
Croton Aqueduct-our only means of sup-
ply at presents now taxed to maintain the
supply such as we have 1t. The consump-
ton of water in New York per inhabitant is
very large. We cannot say that it is too
large, because even with it we find
reasons TO complain that in some dis
tricts it is insufficient, and that in oil
districts 1t does not secure for ms
that general cleanliness Of streets and
sewers so essential to the preservation of
the public health. But as the city grows,
and unless new facilities for supply are
created, even this per capita allowance
must decrease in proportion until New

populous and dirty. The pitiful expedient
forced upon the engineers Of dribbling
the limited high pressure supply over the
low and high level districts alike during
the past two or three summers shows that
economy is becoming IN unpleasant neccs-
sity. People residing within two or three
hundred yards of the Central Park roser-
voir must carry water up stairs from base
ment to bedroom, just as they might have
done In the days OF the old backyard
pump. In an article printed elsewhere
this morning the difficulties Of the supply
are explained, and it is for the authorities
to set about applying remedy before 1t is
rendered trebly costly by injudicious delays.
We also suggest that the high level districts
should not be deprived Of their supply of
water because the low level districts waste

Marriage Under Dino ultiss.

Heretofore it has appeared that Salt Lake
was somewhat superior to Chicago as city
of refuge for the much-married and the
this were not always to be trusted. A loving
youth named Miles has been having O very
troublous time there, merely because his
affections were generously distributed, and
it is quite possible that United States
court will reverse the results of some of
his courting elsewhere 1t appears that the
tender swain--whether from economic mo-
tives, or because he wanted his wives to start
fairly in their race for his affections, is not
stated-led three blushing damsels to the
altar at one and the same time. AS nature,
brutally disregardful of Mormon necessi-
hands, or three pairs Of lips, the wedding
ceremony had to be performed successfully
with the three brides. Whom to marry
first the perplexed bridegroom did not
know, so he consulted the ruler of
the Saints" and that holy but heartless
rank at the altar according to
age, without regard to date OF engagement
The remorseless discipline of the Mormon
Church cannot be better illustrated than by
the fact that the ladies actually did disclose
their ages; but the reaction from this out
rage was SO terrible that bride No. 2 sud.
denly assaulted the face Of bride No. / and
threatened the groom with some OF the same
in his, while bride No. 8, noting the style
of the family. concluded that marriage and
Mormonism were not her forte, and hied her
unto the house of o Gentle. Then bride
No. Q departed, but was brought back by
her loving groom, who apparently per-
suaded her by arguments such as lovers
used in the Stone Age, and then United
States marshal provided the groom with q
bridal chamber without bride, and every
thing was awful. The suffering swain,
when next he enters numerously upon
matrimony, will do better to adopt the
plan, which has lately been practised in
New York with considerable success, of
marrying one woman at time, and not in
viting his other wives and sweethearts to
the Wedding.

A Fatal Collision.

The National line steamer Helvetia, from
Liverpool for New York. has called at
Queenstown and reported terrible catas-
trophe in the Irish Sea. During her run
from Liverpool the Helvetia came into
collision with the British revenue
steamer Fanny and out her down. The
Fanny sank immediately, carrying with
her seventeen of her crew. Only seven
persons were saved. This unfortunate
affair is as yet shrouded in mystery.
No particulars have yet reached this
country rs to the time or cause of
the collision. It is probable, however,
that it took place at night. The
loss of so many lives would indicate the
inability of the Helvetia to render prompt
assistance, and it is likely the fortunate sur
vivors managed to escape in one of their
own boats. Collisions at night, even in
thick weather, may. be avoided by the
use Of powerful electric lights set on
the masts Of ships. On the night of
July IS the steamer Faraday, on her
voyage from New York to London,
came near running down o passenger ship
close to the Georges Bank during fog
Had not the powerful electric light on the
Faraday revealed the approaching ship in
time to allow Of the helm being put to star
board instead of port, and the engines
being reversed, frightful loss of life might
have occurred.

Hall0weon.

How grateful the bustling American who
makes professions of devoutness must be
for the annual recurrence Of the 1st of No.
vember and All Saints Day, with its op-
portunity for propitiating collectively the
saints whom he has neglected SO success
fully upon their individual days! True
to his fun-loving instincts, however, which
he inherited honestly enough from the
various European families from which he
has descended, the American is quite as
likely as the remainder Of the civilized
world to be more interested in the prelimi-
nary ceremonies of the holy feast than in
the devotions which follow. Last night
every unbetrothed lassie in Scotland
who did not find lover developed q
sudden and withering contempt for the
ruder sex. Throughout England and Ire
land there were revived rollicking
old games that could be played
within doors, while he who stepped out
side the threshold had drank either too
much or too little if he could not see fairies
dancing. On the Continent the French
man RECALLED himself by feasting and an oc-
casional dropping into ghosts, while in all
the German provinces the witches held
high carnival out Of doors as the cottagers
gathered about their hearthstones and
talked of the good old times when
witches were moro plenty than they
are now, and there were no wretched liter
alists to discourage human faith in the
supernatural. The forests and dells of the
United States are too cold and tramp-in-
tested to be thickly peopled with fairies
and witches, but American ingenuity his
devised an acceptable substitute, so if any
one failed to see dancing fairies and witches
innumerable last evening it was because he
did not make the tour OF the parlors Of his
acuuaintances.

find lower rate Of taxation in 1879 than
they have been called upon to pay since
1870. The rate of taxation in 1875 on $100
of valuation was 50 o.; in 1876. 90 80; in
1877, 50 65. and this year. 50 So. At
the same time the valuation of property
for assessment is this year from
twelve to twenty-five millions less than in
the three preceding years. The gross
amount of tax levied this year is over four
million dollars less than in 1876. The
statement shows, without comment. the
difference between the financial manage
ment Of Comptroller Kelly and that of his
predecessor, Andrew Fl. Green.
