omen the Council Doors.

The public learned through the MORN
ING NEWS yesterday that the City COun-
ell had refused to accept the new assess
ment and had added 20 per cent. to the
old assessment, and made it the
basis Of taxation for next year. All that
was made public about the matter was
the report Of the Committee on Assess
ments. in which the new assessment was
characterized as irregular, unequal and
excessive.
This question oftaxation is Ofgreat inter-
est to all tax the payers of the city. Very
naturally they want to know in what re-
spect the new assessment is irregular, I'M
equal and excessive, and the reasons
thar led to The adoption of an
ordinance which arbitrarily increases the
assessment Of all property 20 per cent,
and they have a perfect right to know.
We do not question the right OF the Coun-
ell to adopt such an ordinance, but the
wisdom of adopting it is questionable.
We do. however, Objeci to the secrecy
which was observed IN reaching conclu-
sion with regard to il. The practice which
the Council has established of discussing
important measures in secret is ohjec-
tionable. because it deprives tie public of
the reasons which control the Councils
action. Nobody cares how much the COun-
ell talk in secret on matters which affect
individuals. but they want to know the
reasons for ana against any important
measure in which the entire community
is interested. Why shouldn't an Alder
man. in open Council meeting, say why
the new assessment doesn't suit him, and
why he votes to increase the assessment
OF last year 20 per cent; There is a great
deal Of dissatisfaction, il we are rightly
informed. with the action of the Council;
but if the public knew exactly the reasons
which brought about that action, there
might. perhaps, be less disposition to
criticise it. 1t is neither good nor
wise plan to discuss important questions
with closed doors. There is nothing to
be said in favor OF it, and much to be said
against it. 1t is inconsistent with our
institutions. 1t partakes too much of the
Star Chamber style of doing things, and
ought to be abandoned. The people have
a right to know not only what their pub
lie servants are doing, but also the reasons
for shair actions

The south Carolina railroad Law.

The Columbia correspondent OF the
Charleston Nelrs and Courier intimates
that the notifications which have been
made in the South Carolina railroad law
are pretty generally satisfactory to those
who favored and those who opposed the
changes. 1t is not exactly clear yet to
what extent the changes affect the au-
tboritv Of the Railroad Commissioners,
but il Is admitted that they still have eX-
tensive powers. 1t is certain, how
ever. that they have lost the
power 10 arbitrarily fix travel and trans
narration rates. The railroads viii prob
ably be satisfied as long as they are
allowed a voice in the management OF
their property. The railroad law Of South
Carolina before the recent changes was
the same as the railroad law Of this state.
That our law clothes the Commissioners
with extraordinary powers there is no
question. Admitting that II Is possible
to secure honest men as Commissioners,
experieuce teaches that honesty and
ability are not always found together.
An honest man, for want Of capacity to
grasp the problems presented to him, may
Internationally do incalculable damage
toraiIroad interests. 1t is possible that
dishonest men may become commissioners.
In that case fair administration of the
law need not be expected, but railroads
NAV look for annOyances that
can only be avoided in one
way. Assuming that a railroad commits
sion is advantageous TO the people
Of a state. is it wise to put the railroads
wholly in its power: The South Carolina
Legislature thought not, and it would not
be surprising if the next Legislature Of
this state should reach the same cOnclu-
