The real estate valuation of New York
city has increased seventeen millions over
last year, while the personal valuation
has declined twenty-One millions. The
former is due to new building and the
taxation of the elevated and surface rail-
roads as real estate. The latter is large

When we take into consideration that
in Cheboygan county, like the rest of the
northern counties, farming is accom-
plished under considerable difficulty,
land newly cleared and full of stumps,
we think the showing made by the coun-
ties of this section is quite creditable,
and shows that eventually this is going
to be the equal of any other portion of
the state for raising wheat.

to listen to music, or to engage in any
Innocent pleasures Men like Dr. Tying
are too ready 20 assume that the teach
ings, on the subject, which they have
been accustomed to hear from their youth
up, are the very teachings of Holy Writ, in
stead Of bcing, as they often are, purely
human inventions.
The fact is, and we submit IL to the
consideration Of DR.. TYING and those who
svmpathize with him. that the Sabbath Is
nowhere enjoncd by JESUS CHRIST or by
his apostles. The early Christians, as soon
as they got rid Of their inherited habits,
gave it up along with circumcision, absti-
hence from forbidden meats. and other jew
ish practices. They observed, indeed, the
first day Of tho week rs festival commem-
orative Of the Resurrection. and for that
reason called it the Lords Day; but this
festival no more took the place OF the Sab
bath than our Fourth of July takes the place
Of Christmas. Il was not until the time Of
the English Puritaus, only two hundred
years ago that the idea began to prevail Of
applying to Sunday the Jewish Sabbath reg
ulatons and Of enforcing those regulations
10y civil law In carrying out this idea too,
our forclathers exhibited great ignorance
of the jewish code. MOSES prohibited servile
work on the sabbath, but not amusemcnts,
and he made no provision whatever for pub
lie Sabbath worship. In the later days Of the
Jewish commonwealth. indeed synagogucs
were established for the instruction OF the
people in the Scriptures. but these were
places of instruction and nothing else the
temple remaining the only spot where sacri-
fees could bee offered and the other public
services OF the Law performed.
We are living, therefore. ~ regards the
enforced observance of sunday as n day
Of abstinence from pleasure and rccrc-
alton. under neither the Christian nor
the Jewish dispcnsaiion but under a
spiritual regimen which originated In
the days OF CROMWELL and his grim
companions. This regimen may have
its advantages. and it, continuance may be-
advocated on grounds Of eXpediency. But
it can lay no claim whatever to divine
sanction. II Is enforced neither 10y the COM
mand Of the SAVIOUR 10y the prcccpts Of the
New Testament. nor 10y the usage Of the
Christian Church during the first sixteen
centuries " its existence. II Is not an
institution Of COP. but ~ man. and as such
alone it Is To be- weighed and considered.

Thieying Connty and Town Officers.

One might expect that the people of these
States would at least enforce honesty and
economy at home, in the little county aud
town governments which they directly elect,
which touch their lives most closely and
constantly. which operate under their eyes.
every officer Of which is known to them and
directly answcrablc to them for his official
behavior. Yet nowhere. not at Washington.
not at Albany, has the dry rot Of corrupt
extravaganza made more alarming head
way than in these local governments No
whore Is there more urgent need of reform.
There are signs here and there of n sense
Of this, and growing uncasiness about il,
among the people. The Governors of States
are beginning in their messages 10 call at
tontiOn to the prcpOsterous and alarming In
crease Of county and town debts. In more
than one town voluntary associations Of
citizens have undertaken to watch the GUS
tOdians and dishurserS % the public money.
A more encouraging sign still Is that in AT
least two recent instances We have seen
public opinion and the law take thicving
local officials by the throat.
For period Of from ten TO fourteen years
the people Of Warren County, New Jersey,
allowed a Ring Of ominently respected
swindlerS TO practise all the arts of Tweed
ism-raising county bills and altering or
forging vouchers-at their expense. 1t took
a county debt of S2OO.OUO, with ittle 10 show

Once aroused, however, they made short
work with the robbers. nearly dozen Of
whom are now rcpenting behind iron bars.
For ten years the people of Rensselaer,
County, in this State, had been robbed In
similar ways. 1t is estimated that in these
years fully one-half Of the county tax levy
has been stolen. The people knew in gem
eral way what was going on, but it was not
until last year that they got tired enough Of
ii to do anything effective to stop it, Then
one Of the worst Of the gang, Supervisor
EGAN, went to State prison, whore he will
remain for seven years yet and where, from

company OF number Of his old associates

Only last week the Grand Jury Of Rich
mond County brought in true bills against
some twenty men, accused OF official pccula-

The Decline of Church-Going.

The Rev. DR.. Tying preached In the Church

sermon In which, according 20 the report
printed IN n morning newspaper he de-
clarcd that only $50 900 out OF the one mill
lion inhabitants OF this city had attended
church that morning; that the decline Of
church-going among us, thus indicated, is
sure to result in II deterioration Of personal
character and destroy the foundation Of the
country's welfare; and that Sunday amuse-
ments, public and private, Sunday cXcur-
sions 10y land ana by water, and oven Sunday

in which pulpit orators too often talk Sup

only 100000 ont 81 our million inhabitants

tcrpriso once gets a foothold in Mexico, the
grant or concession would pass from the
present company 10 another, better able and
willing to complete it.
In his laborcd effort TO discourage our
merchants and manufacturers and railroad
men from cmbarking in the new movement,
Mr. FOSTER ovcrdd his part, as often hap
pens when too much zeal is exhibited in a
bad cause. Mexico has population Of ten
millions. or couple Of millions less than
our Southern States II has climate and
soil unsurpassed, and fabulous mineral
wealth, the surface of which has boon barely
scratched. Instead of there being no OPEN
ing for trade, as Mr.. FOSTER untruly
alleges, the imports Of Mexico exceed some
seventy millions u year, and chiefly in those
fabrics and productions which the United
States can most advantageously furnish.
The bulk OF this profitable business goes
by our doors four thousand miles away, en-
riches the German and other European
manufacturers at home and builds up n
trade in Mexico for German, English, and
French merchants, who grow rich upon it as
rule. though subjected to occasional veXa-
tions, just as thcy are in parts OF Central
and South America. With any statesman
ship or sagacious policy, the chief part Of
this commerce would naturally seek the
United States, because We can supply
cheaper aud better the very articles which
Mexico most consumes and needs.
But for the schemes Of iobbers in annexa-
tion, who have long had covctous eyes on
the lands and mincs and other possessions
in the northern provinces. and who seek
what Is called rcctincation OF the
frontier by adopting tho line Of the
Sierra Madrc, it would Ice easy to So
cure this commercial connection. The Adj
ministintion started out with the intcntion
to make an issue with Mexico which, un-
loss checked by Congress. must result In
war. The invasion Of her territory by fro
qucnt raids, stimulated by explicit orders
from Washington. and the whole course ~
Mr.. EvAETs. and of Mr.. FOSTER in Mexico,
acting under his instructions. have been de-
signed to bring about a conflict OF arms,
under the belief that war would result ia the
acquisition Of territory; and that the excite
mont incident to it would make people for
get the Fraud in the White House. while an
army Of contractors, spectators. and
thieves would bc enlisted in favor Of the
| project. This is Mr.. EvARTss programme
for extending commerce with Mexico.

Not Radical Enough.

Mr.. MOEEfsON Of New Madrid has just
introduced in the Legislature of Missouri
bll making 10 a m.domoanor punishable
by fine and imprisonment Tor a newspaper
to publish proceedings in divorce cases,
rape cases. Islander suits, AMI outrage. or
the particulars II such Items Of news at the
timc 81 their occurrence"
one difficulty with Mr.. MoRRIsoN's bill Is
thnt il is not sufficiently radical. 1t is SUI
perlcial. II does not ~ to the bottom Of
the case. Il merely strikes at some OF the
branches, whereas 1t ought 10 lay the axe TO
the root.
Let Mr.. MORRISON withdraw this bill and
bring in another cuacting that there shall
never be any divorces. rape cases, SANDER
suits. or outngcs. Then he may ilattrr
hin. -clt that he has done something radical
toward the cure Of the evil which So justly
aillicts his mind. The proper business of
wise legislator should be- 10 prevent social
mischiefs rather than TO waste his time in
attempting To restrain people from talking
about them after they are committed.
But. if Mr. MORRISON insists on the bill he
has already introduced he ought at least to
amend it 10y adding provision that no per-
son. man, woman. or child, shall ever open
his lips 80 speak about any divorce, rape
ease, Islander suit, or outrage after it has oc-
Cured. 1t would be- unjust and unequal TO
forbid the newspapers 10 talk about such
things and yet allow everybody else To talk
about them withou. restraint and without
punishment.
We contend these considerations to Mr..
MoREIsoN with all the more confidence be-
cause, although we have not the advantage
OF knowing him personally, We are yet con-
WINGED from the description Of his bill which
We have quoted. that he must be au uncom-
monty great man.

Now that Mexico has paid the third in-

will be in order for Mr. EvARTs to formulate

The one Great Reform.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Hfrdtd,
discussing Mayor CoorEEs letter respect
llg the audit Of pay rolls before the eXpira-
tion Of the time to which they apply, in
quiros whether "pitiiul notifications like
this in the minor details Of city admlnistra-
tion are what were intended by the Mayor
and his party in all their great projects and
propositions for reform in the city govern
mcnt'
We beg to remind our esteemed contcm-
porary that the one great project ana propo-
stion for reform Intended by the party
which supported Mr.. COOPER in the recent
election, was the overthrow OF the one-man
power, and the defeat OF the impudent at
tempt 10 cndow secret corporation with
the dcspotic rule of this metropolis. This
project was completely successful, and we
trust that the bcneicent effects OF this
supreme movement for reform will long be
perceptihle in our political affairs I'm
fortunately, however, the H0dh did not go
with us in this important undertaking. and,
accordingly il cannot be- expected to have
perfectly clear apprehension of it's nature.
Tho Mayor OF New York has much less
control over the organization and govern
mont Of this city than he ought TO have; and,
with the very best intentions and the most
pcrtIuacous efforts, he may not be- able to
do very much IN the way Of minor reforms
Wetrust, however, that Mayor COOPER may
prove himself much more successful in this
direction than his opponents now expect;
but, even il he should not accomplish any
thing beyond changing the practice of Of
ilcially certifying To what Is not true, and
ordering money paid which is not yet
earned, his supporters may still be perfectly
satisfied that the chief purpose Of his cleo
ton was attained when the King and the
Clown We're overwhelmed together.
