UNEQUAL TAXATION.

Upon our local page there appears com
munication showing how large part of the
city of Washington has been for years taxed
without being represented. The boom in
real estate in the section which has controlled
the government of the District uninter-
ruptedly since the creation of the Board of
Public Works gives the most striking evidence
possible of the effect upon property values of
taxing whole community and expending
nearly all the money thus raised for long
term of years in single favored locality
This boom is correlated with correspond
ing stagnation of values, and often a positive
depreciation in eCery otter part Of Mo city. If
this be not cause and effect we are at loss
to see how cause and effect can be traced at
all. Returns by enumeration districts, oh.
tanned at the Census Office, show that
the sections of Washington which have
suffered from this long-contnued injustice
that is to say, East and South Wash
ington, contain about onehalf of the total
population OF Washington and Georgetown.
If the whole area which has suffered from
the same discrimination, viz: all east of
Seventh street and south of the Mall, is
counted, it would be found that much more
than half the Taxpayers of the city have
been taxed to benefit the holdings of "a.
yored few, and especially of some cliques of
wealthy spectators. The property hold
ers in the unfayored sections are mostl Y
people of comparatively small means, owners
of little beside their modest homes. The
hardship is made still greater by an irregu-
larity of assessments so glaring that it has
been made the subject Of official report to
Congress. This subject is one which Presi.
dent Arthur cannot properly leave out of
account in selecting another Commissioner.
WE are informed that at least one of the
strongly backed candidates for District Com
missioner to succeed Major Morgan derives
his chief support from q street railway com
pany which owes the District treasury
large sum of money long overdue, and has
other business with the District government
which ought to be dealt with without fear
or favor. One Commissioner appears
alAeady to be entirely subseryient to the
same interests which are seeking to dictate
the appointment OF a second. Before max.
ing an appointment the President would do
well to satisfy himself that the man he ap-
points is not only honest and capable, but
free from entapglenents with street rail.

THAT funny newspaper, the Philadel-
phia Press, has well earned the title of
the Micawber among journals. 1t is
still hoping for something to turn up to
coalesce the Republican party in Penn
sylyania, and even sees in the result of
the late convention strong reasons for
its confidence. AS the Press is quite
alone in this view, it may be assumed to
he f,ase!sss vision. Bat it serves the

fort must be extreme and shortly unen-

sentiments that are too tender to be torn
from the nesting place in the heart, and
thrust in broken words upon tho outward
ear, 80 that what I may fsebly say to you
on this occasion, will be but half the truth.
You must hear between my words the
beating of my heart, the inarticulate
breathings of gratitude for this uDexpect-
ed expression of your appreciation OF
what by the most inexplicable turn in the
wheel Of events, has this day transpired.
Something has happened. My mind has
not sufficiently recovered its pose
to enable me to describe adequately
tho surprisingly strange event. A
bolt of lightning from clear sky,
rent the air and struck in the most
unexpected quarter. Without a note of
warning; without the premOnition of as
much as cloud the size of a mans hand
above the horizon, the storm burst in un-
exampled fury upon the devoted head of
your humble townsman. What man
could do did to avert it, but all men are
stronger than any one man, and could
but bow my head and endure tho merciless
downpour.
And now that the storm is past, and l
find myself once more in the sheltering
arms of my friends, l behold an exempli-
tication of sympathy by which the cffec-
tions of mankind are linked together in
an unkrOken chain, but another name for
that lone touch Of nature which makes
the whole world kim"
Ireceived the unexpected bolt, and 10
your limbs quiver from the effect of it. My
heart throbbed with almost audible beats,
and 10! yours leaps in your breast, and
around the invisible circuit comes back to
me your answering throb. Lancaster
county has been honored in the person of
your townsman, and 10 you rejoice. My
name has been placed in undeserving com
panionship with greater and worthier
names, and 10! you applaud. A great
burden and responsibility has been placed
upon my shoulders, and 10 you sympa-
thize and already plant your feet to as
sist in bearing the burden. Thus has the
Divine protector of all things fashioned
the hearts and minds of the children Of
man, SO that they would be mutual sup
port to each other in the varied experience
of life.
