matters to change laws unless we
contemplate practice also.
Again: Under the present law
there is at least an attempt at equal
ization between citizens of
county, but none between the. coun-
ties themselves. In no county III
Florida is the property valued as
required-by law for the purposes of
taxation, and no county can be SO
valued until all others are likewise
raised in proportion, without paying
more than her share of a state tax
levied on the county assessment.
For these reasons we have con-
tinual complaint of high and unjust
taxation in a growing state at time
of unusual present and prospective
prosperity; for these reasons our
low rate Of taxation is not apprecia-
ted by strangers, and for these rea-
sons there is no Immediate change
possible in a system bad both in
theory and in practical operation
For these abuses the democratic
party cannot be held responsible for
the causes lie embedded in a consti-

We are glad to note that our
worthy exchange, the Savannah
News, has taken to tighten its col
umns by gems Of thought from our
political musings. We say we are
glad to note this, but we protest
that our weekly contemporary,
the Herald, is hardly entitled to the
credit Of them. -

CRIME AND THE PRESS.

/ w G attempted to explain the atti-
tude of the Times Union on an i'm
portant question by publishing a
bit of the editors history. This
sheet answered that it never descen-
ded to personalities. In its last Sun
days issue, it describes the editor of
the Waldo Advertiser as overflow
ing with words and standing up to
his chin in the slop." Ina column
editorial of the same date under the
above head, it abandons its position,
misstates that Of its opponents and
INDUCES .in.enough personal billings
gate to stamp its character forever
on the minds of its readers. Its
utterances on the question at issue
have been too plain and too recent

Times-Union? Does the position Of
that sheet on any "crime of violence"

not Professionally held communities
Irresponsible for acts of.violence by
IipdividuaIs? The gentleman accuses
aus Of sundry high crimes and misde-
meanors. Considering the source,
~ can afford to view these with
Nrsonal and public contempt, and
as he assures us we have no present
prospect OF his own conversion, we
leave him to his conscience while we
appeal to the public which sits IN
Judgment on us all. We have asked
the Times Union to join us in an eff
fort of. practicafutility, and in refer
ence to this attempt at bringing
public opinion to bear ON officials
to enforce the punishment Of crime,
the Jealous editor is mute. Weak
men may speak sentimental gush
and women send bouquets bathed
in tears; ON these the Times Union
Is wrathfully severe. Bat when the
public prosecutor and the Judge fail
to mete out justice there is omin-
Gus silence, No diatribe against
public indifference can do more
than excite sympathy for the often
