THREE PATRIOTS,

without undertaking at present to Inquire
Into the merits Ut the Issue which has arisen
between the 'longshoremen and the contract
Org IL SEEING pertinent to remark upon the
part borne, or rather assumed, In the natter
by Meeers. Heath, Muller and Gelssler
These three burning patriots have long been
conspicuous for the alacrty with which they
thrust themselves to the front Of any
and every agitation and endeavor to
intensity II by appeals to the prejudice
and passion OF the moment We have
never had the time or the inclination
to inquire whether these men are malignant
or only foolish, nor Is 1t Important. The fact
that they are professional agitators. and that
their counsel Ia always disturbing and incen-
diary, is quite enough for all our purposes.
Heath is pestiferous eoekney. too worth
less and too impudent to thrive at home
and he is consequently here. aping the
aspect OF the laborer. but proelalming
the theory and urging the policy which,
Of all others. are most inimieal TO the
true interest OF the laborng man.
He is noisy and unpleasant and would
be dangerous If he were not 80 palpable
vagabond. Muller and Geissler are the
avowed representatives Of the German Ho-
ctaliata. We have never been able to believe
this, for there are men Of learning and Intel
lgance among the Socialists. while Muller
and GeIssler are conspicuous for their lack Of
these qualities. They are merely crack
Drained nulsances, who have all the Instincts
VI conspirators withontany Of the magnetism
OF the Intellect which give men power and In
tluence. We feel surr that the bulk OF our
German population rapudiate them just as
we feel sure they are libel on the great
nation from which they have been severed
out. None Of these three has ever been
known TO advise anything that was not fool
ish or wicked. None of them has been able
to retain the respect OF the class he properly
belonged to. All Of them are ridiculous and
Offensive In equal parts.
And now we have this to cay to the long
ehoremen: IT you have any real grievance, or
II you wish to carry any Legitimate point or
II you seek to promote your own substan-
tial interest, let Heath and Muller and Geiss-
Ter alone! They will do you untold harm,
and they can do you no possible good. They
will ALLEVIATE from you all sympathy: they
will cover your cause with ohloquy. They
are Hot WuAeIs-tHey hle cIHHy. pestiteIous
agitators. They can gain no triumph except
al your expense; they have no plans which
do not involve trouble misfortune, per-
heps ruin Tor you. Whatever you do, go
about 1t like men and upon your merits aa a
class Of useful and Industrious citiaena The
day you accept Heath and Muller and Geias-
let as your leaders and allow them to become
the exponenta and champions of your cause.
that day you will lose the respect and gym
pathy " the community. Aud you will do
serve itl

EQUALIZATION OF ASSESSMENTS.

have little fear, unless our conntry. representa-

The above is condensation from the Gin
ton Waterman. q journal for which We have a
high regard, and which We are sorry to hnd
disposed to raise the question Or the city w.
the country. There is really no such question
In the matter. The panof eqmaliztng assess
ments has been found necessary and is now
being generally adopted not In order to i'm
pose an unfair distribution Of the burden OF
taxation. but to prevent the possibility OF
such a distribution by the only practicable
means that has thus far been discovered by
the ingenuity OF man. What the Watch
man says as to the ability of the
local officers to arrive at a true
estimate of the relative value OF prop
erty Is most true. and this fact Is fully
recognized under the equaliz alton system
All the lists aud estimates are made out by
the local officers, and 1t is by these that the
central board are guided The central board,
however. do what local officers do not and
cannot do-they adjust the different parish
estimates by one uniform standard, so that
all varieties OF local opinion arc harmonized
and rendered homogeneous. Furthermore
this board Is central only In Its domiciI, for 1t
is composed OF representatives from the diff
ferent districts, chosen BY the people, and Is
really legislature In its character and Its
powers The city will and can have no pre-
dominance here; Ia fact, it has scarce
~ any voice at all. The Board az
Equalization has for It's object simply the
establishment OF . universal standard OK
value, 50 that Z tst Fv,liclana and Union and
Jackson shall not be required to pay greater
tax on the market and intrinsic value OF their
property than Terrebonne, Plaauemines and
st James.
We feel assured that ii our contem porary
would seriously look iGto this matter 1t would
hsmiss the approximations now entertained
md would see, as clearly az We do, that the
question Is not at all between the city and the
