gentleman who had requested statement a. ~
views on the subject Of the Affirmation bill, Gf
cannot consider tho Affirmation bill inyoves a -
ligious principle; for as had occasion to observa
in print moro than thirty years ago. what the uoliE
ical and social world means by the word God , q
too often not the Christian God the Jewish, or tina
MahommeGan-not personal God. but an unknown
God-as little what Christians mean by God az tina
Fate, or Chance or Anima Mundi of a Greek philos.
Opher. Hence it as little concerns religion whether
Nr. Bradlaugh swears by no God with tina
Government, or swears by an impersonal or
material. or abstract and ideal something
Opposition. Neither Mr.. Gladstone nor Sir Stafford
Northcote excluded from Parliament what religion
means by an Atheist Accordingly it is only half
my meaning If / am made to say that L do not ap-
prove in any sense of the word, of the Affirmation
BILL Inether approve nor disapproye. express
no opinion upon IL, and that trst because do not
commonly enter upon political questions: and next
because. looking at the bill on its own merits,
think nothing Is lost to religion by ITS passing and
nothing gained Dy its being rejected"
Victor Hugo says The ST. James's Gazette, though
O Republican of the most uncOmpromisng type and
the author of that very democratic book Les
Miserables," is accustomed to pride himself upon
being descended from arstocratIc ancestors, and In
fact, claims to be the lineal representative Of a
certain Georges Hugo. who, as captain of the guard
of the Duke of Lorraine, was ennODled In 1885,
Unfortunately for the poets vanity, however. NJ.
Bir6, well-known French writer OF biography. has
recently taken the trouble to look up number Of
old records; and in a volume which he deyotes to
the matter he establishes beyond doubt not only
that Victor Hugo is not related to the hero Of the
sixteenth century. but also that his family origin
is very humble. Victor's father was Joseph Leo
pold Sigisbert Hugo who DIED lieutenant-general
in the French army in 1923; and his grandfather
was Joseph Hugo an honest master-jolner. who.
after having married two wives, went over 70 the
majority toward the end of the last century.
JoSeph's father, Jean Philippe, merely a hus-
bandman, and the son of a husbandman; and, SO
far as can be discovered, the poets immediate pro-
genitor was the first of his race TO make any noise
IN the world As for the other Eugos, the descend.
ants of the redoubtable Georges, a minor branch
of them still survives, and, having no sympathy
with Republicansm has, apparently. supplied N.
Br6 with many of the documents with which he
disposes of Victor Hugos claim to the possession OF

will AJAX tbemselyes IL Democratic admlnistra'
ton IL not altogether too costly luxury.
The late malodorous Legislature, when was
Democratic In both It's branches, advanced Tue
tax rate. which wns 245 mills In 1882, to
3.25 mills. The only excuse for any increase
whatever arose from the fact that, the free-canai
amendment having been adopted last 1hli, IL
was necessary for the State to provide 1or the
expenses of the superintendent ana repair vi
the canals. But that portion Of the tax OF $40
mills which goes for canal purposes represents
n sum grossly in excess OF the sum neeueu' vi
else experts in canal matters are grleVousy
mistaken. A number of Democratic organs are
aboring hard just now to induce the people TO
believe that the difference between the tax OF
9. As in 1882 and 1925 in 1888 is satisfactorily
explained by simple reference to the free
canal amendment. But these organs forget TO
explain why the portion of the tax set apart 1or
general purposes is also much greater this year
than 1t was last, or why the portion for the sup
port of our common schools was the only por-
ton that was reduced.
And one other thing they forget to explain to
which we now invite their attention. On inc
25th of May 1881, nOn-partisan lax Cohi-
mission, composed of men of conceded intelh-
gence and public spirit and of wide and varied
experience, having about completed the SER
vice imposed upon it by the State, presented
communication to Governor Cornell containing
suggestions looking to future legislation" In
the course of this communication the Commits
sion expressed itself as follows:
We think that If the bills reported by the CommissOnl
become laws. and the laws arc intcllgenty ana ell
GENTLY executed they will yield sucienrevenue for the

been required to make for State purposes. We have
made careful estimate OF the revenue that these pro-
posed Will yield. Surprising the bills reported
to DO enacted into law estimate that they will yield
over $6OOOOOo If orr expectations realized. all
property will be relieved from other for state pur-
poses.
Two Legislatures have been in session since
the Tax Commission made these timely and most
important suggestions. Both Legislatures
were Democratic. Both ignored the sugges-
tions. Why did they ignore them
Any Democratic organ that believes that the
late Legislature or its predecessor made de-
fcnsiblc record is respectfully invited to answer
this question.

THE CIRCUMLoCUT1ON OFFICE AGAIN

THE CIRCUnLOCU1ION OFFICE AGAIN.
If a Fenian dynamite plot to blow up the new
Court House were discovered half an hour be-
fore the bomb was to be thrown. we suppose our
local Circumlocuton Office would insist on
waiting until Grand Jury could he instructed
by an Assistant Barnacle how to bring ia IN in
dictment, and that then the indictment would
either be effectively drawn OF be stolen from It's
appropriate and perpetual pigeon hole.
District-Attorney McKeon has been very
sick man; moreover, he Is a very old man !;
and there is some little excuse to be urged in
his behalf why he should not be blamed for
the contempt into which his Office has been
brought. Possibly he does not recognize the
extent of the prevalent dissatisfaction. He Is of
a somewhat irascible temperament and is apt
TO support and sustain his subordinates whether
wrong or right; and having made some inju-
dicious and some bad appointments, lie hesitates
to admit his blunder by making changes But
there are few things patent to everybody

else which Mr.. McKeon ought to look OF with
unbiased mental vision.
His Office has been condemned by sitting
magistrates for the laotes of his ASSIST
ants In not being prepared with their
cases. Only few days ago justice had to SET
down for peremptory trial several brief cases
on a single days calendar because the defend
ants counsel chose to trlhe with the Dist let
Attorney, as is very commonly done, by not APP
pearing, pleading illness. year and hair
have elapsed since private detectives in the pay
of the District.Attorney, to the exclusion OF the
regular city police detectives, captured WHAT
an Assistant DistIct-Attorney at the time de-
clared was most valuable evidence against per-
sistent offenders, but not line of that evidence
has ever seen the light, nor has any oiliciai
action been based upon it. Some day there
will be monstrous bill to pay to these private
detectives for doing what the regular force
could have done quite as well. Grand Juries
have been instructed to reopen cases which nau
been dismissed, and men have been indicted
for serious crimes for which they have not been
tried, although they have been insisting upon
a trial for a year OF more. Straw bondsmeh
still infest the place and occasionally get ac-
cepted and we hear too often of important IN
dictments being lost or stolen.
These are scandals for the existence OF when
the public cannot Justly hold Mr.. McKeon under
all the circumstances fully responsible. But

INTERESTING TO 7AYPIYERS

The letter which we print this morning from
our Albany correspondent contains some fig
ures which cannot fail 20 interest the taxpayers
of the State. These figures show the total tax
10y counties for 1882 and 1883, with the in
crease in each county this year over last Tie
grand total Of increase is over two and quarter
million dollars. OF course the greater portion
of this large addition to the public burden is
placed Oh the shoulders of New-Yprk and
Kings. NewYork's share is $1,OjO,222 Os.
and Kings, S21OG61 10. But each one of the
counties is down for its fair proportion, and the
citizens of each as they glance at our tables no
doubt will take a melancholy pleasure in figur-
ing up how much their own individual tax bills
will be swollen because of the extraordinary
advance in the tax rate. And when they have
completed this Densive exercise, like as not they

ing TO watch what he will do next; also what
the Nihilists will do.

Mr. Robert p Porter, in his contribution Oh
facts concerning Industrial England this morn
ing, deals with the manufacture of pottery at
Worcester. The bits of history and description
which are scattered through the letter will prob
ably interest even those persons who think they
know already all about the different kinds OF
wares which come from the Royal Worcester
Works. And American pOtters will ina III the
cOntemptuOus remarks uttered by certain Eng
lish manufacturers about our porcelain produc-
tions incentives to greater efforts to give us
better cheap wares than we are supplied WIN AT
present. 1t is admitted that in the higher
branches of this artistic manufacture foreign
countries have great advantages over us, OWING
to their subsidies and government art schools;
but with the recently increased duty on foreign
importations, as Mr. Porter points ont, our pot
tiers can prove the faSity of the English lnslnu-
alton that America can only produce CHINA cups
which are big enough and strong enough to
serve as missiles i'll war times.
Decoration Day ceremonies were begun yes
terday by memorial services in some of the
churches. Probably the Observances OF Wednes-
day will be participated in chiefly by the Grand
Army of the Republic and other veteran organ
izations. The novelty of Decoration Day long
since passed away, and most people now have
come to look upon it as a simple holiday 10 he
devoted to pleasure. The graves of the soldiers
of the Union, however, will not be neglected
this year nor for many years to come, and the
ceremonies will be marked by a tenderness and
sincerity which will be brought into promi-
nence by the absence of the people who once
took part in the ceremonies because they were
novel. The spring has been so backward that the
display of flowers can hardly be as great as in
some years gone by. Indeed. in any year in this
climate May 80 is too early for many fOwerst to be
in blossom outside ofhot-houscs, and it is mat
ter of some surprise, therefore, that the persons
who have charge of decorating the graves have
not made greater use of immOrtellcs. These
are much used in other countries for kindred
purposes. If they are not so fresh and beautiful
as more fragile blossoms, they are certainly ap-
prOprate and more lasting

The Bridge was the great attraction to
pleasure-seekers i'll the city yesterday and the
crowds on it at one time were so great as to
cause blockade. Everybody was so good
natured, however, that no trouble ensued. If
the Bridge should ever be used by foot pas
sengers to half the extent it was yesterday it
would probably be quickly apparent that the
footpath was not wisely placed IN the centre.
To reach it, pedestrians must cross the road
ways for vehicles; SO that if there is ever
continuous stream of people and vehicles
going on at the same time accidents or block
AIDES will be almost inevitable. To get to the
fOotway will be much like crossing Broadway
now in the busiest part of the day.

The coronation of the Car of all the Russias,
not to mention their dependencies, has taken
place, and he is still alive. The precautions
for his safety, however, in the Cathedral of the
Holy Assumption show that it was not deemed
wise to trust the Emperor solely to the affec-
ton Of bis people. The ceremonies at Moscow
are described by telegraph with many adjec-
tives; undoubtedly they we're magnificent, for
