Our View Ta1 Law.

As it looks to the Boston Adyertser.l
A law which in three years has raised the
tax list of the state something over 60 per
cent is worthy of attention. 1t came out OF
the popular demand that some steps must be
taken to put an end to the evasion Of taxes
which afflicted the state. Every taxpayer is
now obliged to give under oath statement
of his property for the use of their assessors,
and in case of his refusal to do so they are
obliged to double the value of all property
which can be found. Various devices have
been resorted to in order to escape the strict
letter of the act, and at first a large part OF
the weather. citizens united in refusing to
furnish lists But the people were awake,
and gave no doubtful proofs of their deter
minaton that the law should be obeyed. Sew
eral officers of long standing repute were re-
fused re elections for refusing to submit their
tax lists, and the chief justice of the state,
only by narrow margin of seven votes, sue
ceeded in obtaining reelection at the hands
of the Legislature. His offence was refusing
to submit his own tax list. This year more
general acquescence has been shown than at
any time before, and the law is evidently not
to be further disregarded. 1t is not contend
ed that every man is taxed eGuitably, but it is
demonstrated that the burden of taxation is
distributed more evenly than ever before
New Hampshire has a similar act, but it is
not enforced with the strictness which obtains
generally the other side of the Connecticut

The Power OF WATER The terrific pow
er of water under high pressure is illustrated
occasionally in connection with the supply
pipes of the Virginia City (Nev.) water com
pany. The water crosses a crest of high
mountain passes down through valley and
then up again to the city. The depression
created in the line of carriage is 1920 feet,
and the pressure on the pipes is 800 pounds
to the square inch. One pipe is II inches in
diameter and is 4-inch iron lap welded, and
Is feet long, with screw joints. There is lit
tie trouble from it, but the other, which is II
inches in diameter, and is riveted pipe, makes
more or less trouble all the time. The pipe
is laid with the seam down, and whenever
crack i'd made by the frost or sun warping 1t,
or from any other cause, the stream pours
forth with tremendous force. Ii the JOINT 10
broken open, of course the whole stream Is
loose aud goes tearing down the mountain,
but usually the escape is very small. re-
cent break was less than five. Fights OF an
inch in diameter, and yet the water in the
Aume was lowered au inch and a half by it,
and the pressure went down 10 or 20 pounds
When such break occurs the noise can be
heard for half mile, and the earth shakes
for hundreds of feet around. A break the
size of knitting needle will cut hole in the
pipe in half an hour. Such breaks are re-
paired by putting band around the pipe,
pouring in melted lead and tamping 1t In.
Such a stream bores through rock like sand
blast. The flying water is as hard as iron,
and feels rough like file to the touch 1t is
impossible to turn it with the hand, as 1t
tears the flesh off the bones, and if the fin
gers are stuck into the stream, with the point
up the nails are instantly turned back and
sometimes torn loose from the flesh.

GENERAL NEWS.
The silver Dollar.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The accumula-
ton of silver dollars on the Pacific coast is
taxing the storing capacity of the sub-treas-
uries, and it is expected that part of the
$100, 900 appropriated by Congress for addi-
tional vault room will soon have to be ex-
pended there. The Director OF the Mint
has advices from that section that there are
now $45, 900 900 stored and the amount is
increasing. In the east there seems to be
good demand for these coins just
now, and the trouble in getting
them into circulation is decreasing
somewhat. At New Orleans there are
81, 900, 600 stored, but this is not considered
too large an amount for that locality. Di-
rector BurChard, not long ago when simi-
lar state of affairs existed, restored the
equilbrium by stopping the coinage at San
Francisco and running the Philadelphia
Mint TO its full capacity for month or
two.

Why, it is a fact, that not more than one:
half the speeches published in the Record

publishing 100 pages of such speeches is
ridiculous, and, in many respects, it is
only al annual report of what has not been
said by ambitious statesmen. People think
that certain Congressman have made ad-
mirable speeches when they read them in
the Record. The truth is the member has
obtained lot of statistics from the de-
partments and has strung them together
and had them published in the Record. In
the views of business men the Record is

is too much talk and too little opportunity

uttered word, published in the issue of

NEW JERSEY BANKING.
The Oh haracteristic Manner I'm which
Accounts are Kept.

New YORK, April l5.-The trial OF the
suit of Mrs. Mary A. Dovell against Re-
ceiver Hobart and the Directors of the
First National Bank of Newark, y. j., was
ended in Vice Chancellor Birds Court at
Newark yesterday. The suit was brought
to recover certain property which Mrs.
Dovell transferred to the bank to cover an
alleged deficiency Of about 100000 in the
accounts of her son, Louis Doyell, the Sec
ond teller. She asserts that the directors
promised to make an investigation OF the ac-
counts Of her son, but did not do So and
that her son was not defsulter. Teller
William A. Thomas testified to several
items for large amounts in Dovells hand
writing. The purpose of these items was
to relieve the second teller's cash. They
were fictitious charges. The cash was evil
IDENTIFY cleared for purposes OF examination
by the Bank Examiner, bat the exanina-
tion did not occur.
The witness said that he had frequently
made such false charges by direction of the
cashier, Mr.. Hedden. and described two
sets of notes, amounting to over 100000,
signed by Dovell. They were in the cash
ier's box, but there is no record Of these
notes on the books of the bank. Their
amount about covered Dovelrs deficiency.
Louis Dovell testified that after he left the
hanks employ he was sent for by Hedden,
who asked him to sign these notes; that he
wanted to use them in New York, and that
be wanted them signed so as to look as IL
they were made out to him, and discounted
for him, and were not for the bank. Tue
testimony was then closed, and counsel be-
gan summing up.
