THE USE OF DYNAMITE.

The recent explosion in London, with
the subsequent development Of plots and
preparations for additional efforts to in.
hict injury to property and death TO
prominent officials in England, looks
very much as If the communistic practi.
ces which have for years terrorized Rus.
sia are to become the policy of the ex.
treme leaders of the cause of Ireland in
their fight against English tyranny and
oppression. 1t Is ia very great mistake
for those seeking amelioration of Ire.
lands troubles to resort to such methods.
They can only result in injury to their
cause, by driving off the moral sympathy
and support of the lovers of liberty in
other countries who have thought the
Irish cause q just one, and wished it sue.
cess. In addition to this, the dynamite
policy will exasPeTate the people Of Eng.
land, and cause the government to i'm.
pose more vigilant and vigorous discip.
limo towards the citizens of Ireland.
Therefore, as matter of policy 1t ia
ruinous to resort to dynamite. As q
matter of principle it is despicable.
History Is full of lessons teaching the
horrors that usually follow the attempts
to alleviate tyranny in government by
assassination, and the Irish people would
do we'll to heed them. Their causo has

and liberty.ioving world. Slowly they
have been improving their condition
under the English government. The
force of q strong moral conviction 10 the
mind of the enlightened world Is bound
to exert powerful influence upon tho
policy Of any government, and this force
has been for years bringing about grad.

or the Sinking Fund Commission.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF ASSESSMENTS VACATED.
In conducting the street Improvements under
which these contracts have been made, the Com
missioner of Public Works and the Park Commission
ers act in the capacity of trustees for the owners OF
the property benefited by the improvements The
law requires that the fair cost of any work of this
kind be assessed on the property benefited. The
city does the work and pays for it by the issue or
bonds which are to be paid off when the assessments
collected from the owners Of the property bene-
flied But the losses caused by any breach of trust
on the part of the city have to be met out OF the city
treasury The assessed property-owners go into the
courts and prove that the cost of the work is ex-
cessive and the vacate the assessments. The
loss is then added to the city debt, which paid by
general taxation.
Since 1876 the city has lost S3,263431 by va
Gated assessments nearly all caused by unbalanced
bids But that is not one-half the total loss. The
courts have decided that the fact that the work was
done by contract under public letting is no excuse
for COST the city was not bound 10 ac-
cept such contracts Hence, under advice OF the
Corporation Counsel and in order to save TO the city
at least part of the amounts paid OH assessment
work. the Board of Aldermen has recently assessed
property only what the Board considers
the fair value or the WORK done WITHOUT reBaru u
the contracts made by the Commissioner OF Public
Works or the Park Board. The excess of cost over
the amount levied i'll the assessment is charged,
among other matters, to a fund called Deficiencies
in Assessments. This fund, which represents total
loss to the city, now amounts to "a, ,4si,356.
But this does not cover all the loss. There is an
Assessment Commission, created by the laws Of
1850 to reduce assessments when the cost of the
work is excessive. Nearly all the cases coming be-
fore this Commission arise from claims of property
owners for relief because of unbalanced bids.
During the past week the Commission made re-
duction in one case of $999S because the work
was done under an unbalanced-bid contract. At
the same time in another case, the Commission made
a reduction of $l06,454. They discovered among
other irregularities that the contractor had received
pay for excavatng $4,000 cubic yards of rock at 81
per cubic yard, although the rock had not been
taken out Altogether the Assessment Commission
has made reductions amounting 10 over Fl 100000.
and in addition has returned nearly half million
dollars to property who had paid excessive
assessments Besides all that. the city loses the in
terest which it has paid assessment bonds issued
10 pay contractors for work on which reductions
and vacations have been made.
Altogether since 1876 there has been loss to the
city treasury of over $6OO0000 because OF frauds,
irregularities aud excessive cost in assessment work.
Nearly all this loss has been caused by unbalancec
bids
