NEW-YORK DEMOCRACY AND TAXATION,
The call for the Democratic State Convention
speaks of "the present enormous and unne
@cessary taxation OF the labor and business OF
"rhe country The less that the New York
Democracy have to say about taxation the
better for their prospects this fall, which, at
the best are f0rlOrn enough. They were at
pans last winter through their chosen repre-
sentatives in the Legislature to demonstrate
that they took no interest at all in the ques
ton of taxation. Democrats controlled both
branches of the Legislature, and yet, to their
lasting disgrace he it said, they made no at
tempt, either in Senate or Assembly, to revise
or amend the tax laws in any important par
ticulaI. Their failure in this respect is ap
precated by the people. The electors rec Olect
that q Democratic Legislature which could
spare four OF five weeks for deadlock grow
ing ont OF vulgar attempt to parcel cut the
spoilS so as to satisfy the appetites of both
their party's hungry factions found no time
to devote to the vital question CT taxation. Is
it possible that the Democratic State Com
mittee believe that they can atone for the gross
neglect Of duty which the Democratic Legs
latnre of 1882 was guilty of by talking i'm
pressiyely of taxation in the call for their
State Convention If SO they are an uncOm
monty short GIFTED set of politicians. Mr..
John G. Jacobs, who was a member of the
committee that drafted the call, was also a
member Of the last Legislature. How he must
have laughed in his sleeve over the portion
of the call that was devoted to taxation lie
cannot but have regarded it as particularly
naCraut niece of buuCOlubc.
Several year ago the Republicans, being then
iii the majority in both branches of our State
Legislature took hold OF the tax question in
good earnest. Since then until 1882 at every
succeeding session, their control Of the Legs-
lature remaining, they have well continued
the work that they SO well begun. The special
committees which they appointed and the Tax
Commission which they caused to he created
accomplished many wholesome reforms in our
tax laws One fruit of these efforts, the taxa
ton of corporations has within brief
space placed hundreds of thousands OF
dollars in the State Treasury. SO our
Democratic friends had better keep quiet
in regard to taxation, unless they desire
TO make votes for the ticket which the Rcpub
licau party is to nominate next month. An
appeal TO their last winters record is fatal to
the pretensiOns contained in their call, while
an examination Of their general record estab
fishes the equally disastrous fact that taxation
in this State attained an outrageous and un-
prccedentcd height under Democratic admins

al like it or not is nobodys business but my
aown." The convention received this moving
confession in silence, and there was deeting
hope in the breasts OF those delegates who
knew Mr.. English but little that he would
pause in his eloquence and offer to " set 'em up
for the crowd in the nearest beer saloon, but he
didn't He passed straight on and spoke for
half an hour longer in similar strain.
There are other points i'll the speech, but we
will not dwell upon them Those we have
given are sufficient evidence of the wisdom OF
the Republicans in deciding to circulate the
speech as a campaign document. Mr.. Engllsh's
popularity in Indiana has never been great,
and there is little prospect of spontan eous
uprising of the people in favor of opening the
State to free rum in order to start u real estate
boom for Mr.. English's benefit.
New-York tribune., 1882-08-14

Hated Iv the Democrats, who are nearly halt
of the people. and offensive beyond endurance
TO more than half of the Republicans, thls
faction found itself able, by the use OF the most
extreme and unfair means, to command only
3O6 ont of 755 votes in National Conven-
ton. or two in five, and yet it impudcnt'y
claimed to own and attempted to dictate to
tbo candidate then nominated. " Send for

"elected YOU with the aid of Grant," writes
Mr. Dorsey. What had the American people
to do with the matter Absolutely nothing,
in Stalwart opinion. The people were created
for bosses, and the only proper bosses
were Stalwarts. The fact that the peo-
ple nominated the President against Stall
wart votes had nothing to do with
the matter the fact that the people
elected him gave them no claim to have
their wishes considered. The little fac
ton which cannot pretend to embrace IA mnch
as one-fifth of the people has an absolute
right to dictate, because it does not mean 10
eject any man who will not bow to Its
will
President Garfield took a very different view
of the matter He held that he owed his elec-
ton TO the people of the United States that
they had intrustad to him sacred trust, ana
that 1t was his duty to administer the Gov
cnment in accordance with their will. That
it was not their will to give the Stawart tac-
ton the control of affairs, his nomination and
election gave ample proof. But because he
resolved to obey the people rather than the
bosses, all the intolerance and spite, all the
slandcr and baseness and meanness OF tins
intolerant and intolerable faction were let
loose upon him. No man can read Mr.. Dor
sey's letter without feeling that the least
yielding by President Garfield TO such de-
mands would have been surrender OF his
manhood. lie kept his manhood, and did his
duty, and therefore he was reviled by Stall
wart tongues but honored by upright and
self-respecting men all over the world.

An exhibition which attracts 1000 fashionable

suited for the purpose. Situated "a sloDe of the

agely intolerant Of all dissent, thoroughly con-
temptuous of virtue or decency in politics,
ready to defy the public will to any extent i'll

NEwvoxK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY AUGUST H. 1882

But like oil popular games, the present tendency
OF the play IS to become too scientific. A form OF
play has been developed in the last two years the
technique of the game, called voeying the ser
vice line, which bids fair to extingush the interest
in the play to great extent Ear spectators are
concerned. Before this introduction the rallies
long and interesting. On occasion at
Wimbledon the ball returned eighty seven
times before the ace won. Such rallies are
unknown now few strokes. quick as lightning.
decide each ace and tho spectators have scarcely
time to breathe before the play is Hhe longest
rally reported at the recent match at Staten Island
between some of tho best American players WAS
only seventeen and this in double game. The
best exponent of the new play in this country is
Mr. Van Rensselaer,, OF Boston, who Immediately
after serving the ball takes his stand the service
line and trusts to the quckness of his eye and the
length of his reach to voley each return. The mis-
fortune of this style OF play is that it tends to make
tennis mans game and to drive the ladies out OF
the field. When ii becomes question Of rapidity
and strength it ceases to be ladies' pastime, and
will lose its popularity accordingly.
With view of preventing such q misfortune the
committee of the Marylebone Club, who constitute
: court Of ultimate appeal, have already under
consideration some changes IN the rules which viii
relegate the player back to his bate line. The
reduction of the height vi the NET to three feet six
at the poles is step in this direction II tho net
were further lowered N to be the same level all
over it wond help the base-lne player consider
ably. His play would not be cramped as 1t now is
by having to return swift balls over the centre OF
the net for tear of striking out of the court 1t is
to be hoped that such changes will be introduced
will give the quick and delicate wrist OF lady
fair chance against the more muscular power OF the
other SEX and thus retain tennis the queen of DO
lite sports.
