The New York Times feels called upon
to comment upon the shameful evasion Of
taxes in that city. It more than intimatef
that people OF large property really
perjure themselves to avoid correct re-
turn. 1t seems that the tax commission
ers Of that city are so discouraged over the
meagreness Of the returns and the
amount Of swearing off resorted to
in order to escape payment that they e1'
press the opinion that as q matter Of JUS
tice to the conscientious minority who
make correct returns the taxes on person.
ality ought to be abolished, and simply
limited to corporations and franchises.
These, with real estate, should,
in their opinion, be made the
sources Of tax revenue. As an
example Of how personally taxes are sworn
of by wholesale, they state that the as
sessed value OF personal property in the
city for the present year was s., l03, 600, 600;
"the greater part Of this" the commission
ers say, "has been sworn of, and when the
rolls are confirmed there will not be, &C.
cording to the present outlook, more than
about sl95,000,000 on which to collect
ajax" Theamount Of personally returned
for taxation is declared to be decreasing
from year to year, and there is tendency to
shirk the whole burden on real estate. AS
an evidence OF this, the assessed valuation
OF personality has decreased from $S06, 900,
900 in 1872 to sl95, 100000 in 1883, while
the real estate valuation has increased in
the same time from SOL, 900, 900 to 81 ,075,.
100000.
1t seems, according to the Commits
sioners, that Jay Gould pays on
only 100000, and that William Il.
Vanderbilt year ago swore of all the
personality assessed against him, but alter
ward came to the tax office and to satisfy
public clamor" agreed 70 pay on 81, 900, 900.
Wa read further that
The late Moses Taylor was the larges.
81 1900 600. The James Lennox estate pays
on 81 600 900, Mrs. E. D. Morgan on 81 ,0O0,.
900, Mrs. A. T. Stewart on 100000 and
Miss Catherine L. Wolfe on 100000. The
Western Union Telegraph Company Is as
seSsed on Sl76,000; the Atlantic and Pa
cific Telegraph Company on $4,000;
the Metropolitan Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company on $Sl,sO0. The church
property in the city, which Is exempt, is
valued al $4,000, 0OO-the Episcopalians
owning one-tourth, the Catholics one.flth,
the Presbyterisns nearly one.fith, the Be-
formed one.tenth, the Methodists nearly

ORGANS of English farmers are seeking to
run up the price of English beef by assert
ing more vociferously than ever that Ameri-
can cattle are diseased. They hope thus 10
create prejudice against meat from this side.
The fact is, however, that American live
stock is freer from disease than English. In
the great state of Texas, for instance, the
native cattle show almost entire immunity
from every form of disease. The best author
tiles, speaking of the year past, say
that not one case has been found
in Texas in which an animal appar-
emily healthy has commune ated dis
ease to other cattle. The English war on
American meat is not a whit more sensible
than the German war ON American pork
and there is no sense n either.

southern papers report that it is common
thing for Massachusetts people to tan the
hides of negroes who die in the poorhouses
of that state. The southern people have
nothing to say about this. They used to
make practice of tanning the hides of the
negroes, but it was when the negroes we're

for several years. The nearest was when
there were two Democratic candidates In the
field, when $4,000 votes were polIed. At the
late election not many over 80 900 votes were
cast for governor. This comes of having too
large majority and of the minority party
coming to the conclusion that while their
