THE TAXPAYERS MEETING.


 No public meeting has been held in New Haven for years in W hich the wealth and the
 business interests of this city have been so well represented Gs in the taxpayers meeting | held in Insurance building last evening. The tax list of those present mounted up into the millions, and almost every variety of trade and manufacture was represented. Articles of association were adopted and a complete and efficient organization effected, as will be seen by our report in another column. We notice with pleasure that the small as we'll as the large taxpayers are represented in the or ganizatien.
 The meeting was in every respect a con- plete success. It was full of earnestness and enthusiasm and when the chairman announc- ed that the articles of association were ready for signatures, the heavy taxpayers crowded each other in their 0agerness to sign.
 We remind the gentlemen with whom the association has intrusted it's affairs that noth- ing remains to make the association suc- cess but good, solid, earnest work. And we assure them thatif they propose to thoroughly investigate the methods of our town and city government and discover the causes of high taxation they will certainly have enough to do. We are not quite ready to believe that MT. J. B. Sargent in his defense of city and town officials has performed this work for them in advance. The roseate view taken by him of our municipal government was aot shared by the meeting. And while we are not at all inclined to agree with the sug- gestion that our high taxation is all to be laid at the doors eff the SeIsctmen, or is par ticularly chargeable to the town agent, we will agree that their work, as well ss that of the so-called non-partizan city executive boards, should be thoroughly examined.
 We call the special attention of our readers to the speech of Mir. John W. filling. His remark that he hoped to live to see the day when men would not be intrusted with the control of public funds simply be- cause they were Democrats or Repub- hcans, and to see 8 citizens party organized called forth hearty applause. A veteran politician remarked that there WAS nothing to prevent the association from con- trolling the choice of city and town officials, and that it could easily force the other par ties to accept any ticket it chose to put for ward. We believe the taxpayers association can organize the Citizens party, ss suggested by MT. filling. The association can do this and still remain entirely non-partisan, and we think they will find if they mean to thor oughly reform the town and city government Shat they must, like the citizens committees of New York and Philadelphia, go to the namely, to ths polls. The municipal government will never be reform cd uatil the method of choosing municipal officers is changed,--in short, until men are chosen not for their politics, nor their politi- cal services, but for their capability.
 The movement has certainly started we'll, and it ought to be success

nenoeo greater danger than there proved 70 be, though the boat turned out to be com- plete loss. I saw the remains of the poor old boat as I went down the river to-day.
 find the omnibus boats upon the Seine very convenient and economical in getting from one part of the city to another if the distance happens to be in the direction of the rivers course. It is certainly more comfort able in cool weather in the cabin of one of the river boats than on the top of sn omni- bus, which costs three cents, and the boat fare is only two cents on week days and four cents on Sundays and holidays for the whole distance if.you choose from Ruteuil to Der cy. I find the boats more expeditions too as general thing and no time of any conse- quence lost in waiting as is often the case with the omnibuses,
 It is given out that the triennial exposi- tion of Palais des Champs Elysees, which was to close the 10th of November, will remain open till the 3Oth. This will be very pleasing to many. It is reported that the congregation of the Scotch church, which has held services in Rue Rivoli, where the accommodations are inadequate to the size of the congregation, are going to buy the Amer ican church in Rue Bsyard, which is to be given up for new one in O few months. There are hosts of Americans who think of this little church in Rue Bayard with great satisfaction as seeming so homelike and grateful to them with it's simple yet very complete service in their own familiar tongue.
 Of the Roman Catholic churches find the Sainte Genevieve, or the Pantheon, the most satisfactory for my own taste. There, at the noon service on Sunday, you are pretty sure to hear an eloquent sermon by one of the young priests who preach one Sunday after another in turn, and the music Is very supe- rior to that I have heard in some of the other churches. There seems to be no attempt at display and more real effect.
 The Figaro of the 18th alludcs to the publication of Prince ct le Pauvre" by Mark Twain, with engraVings, in the Semaine Ilustree, and remarks that it is the chief work of Mark Twain and has had hundred and fifty editions in America and England.
 The latest piece of enterprise in the French newspaper line is the Figaro's announcement that it will publish an English edition of it's Christmas illustrated number. It is to be printed in London by Clay Sons & Taylor, publishers of the Pictorial World the price is to be three francs 6 copy, and the publica- tion is spoken of as without parallel in the history of French journalism.

Monsignor Cepel recently said that the Catholic Church could, by the uttsrance of a word, order Catholic schools to be started in every parish, and he asked ''Do you SUD- pose some millions of people are going to pay taxes twice ovOr-once for their own schools and again for Protestant schools from which they get no benefit? If it ism t downright fight it will be at least the warlike cnndition-a million or two of voting, tax paying citizens hostile to the government" 1" To this the Chicago Tribune very pertinently and properly replied: He has not been in this country long time, bat he has been here long enough to have known that the Catholic clergy cannot carry out his demands until they have captured State governments and changed the State constitutions, whieh for bid tho appropriations of public revenue and taxes for the support of ssctarian schools or for any other sectarian purpose Where will they begin? In the State of New York where they are the strongest? They would hs defeated by 500, 900 majority on tAas is- sue. They would be defeated in the cities-in New York where they are the strongest, in Chi cego, where they are next in strength, in Bos- ton in Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Fran cisco, Pittsburg, St. Louis, and everywhere else by overwhelming majOritiss. Such sectarian Invasion of republican institutions and precedents would unite the members of svery Protestant sect, the people who belong to no sects, the liberal Catholics born in this country, who persist in sending their children to our peoples schools, with a solid phalanx that would crush out these un-American pre- tensions at the first blow SO they would never again be heard from.
