Police Court Enisode.

Very few persons, perhaps, have seen
judge Of the United States Supreme
Court in a police court. Last Friday
morning the usual Iofterers about the pO-
lice court in Washington were somewhat
surprised to see the stout figure of Mr..
Justice Strong within the bar Of that court.
Il seems that there is an ordinance in
Washington which prohibits the use OF
water for spTinkling purposes before Z
O'Clock in the morning. MIR. Justice
Strong's servant had violated this ordi-
nance and had been arrested. The testi-
m0nv showed that the servant began to
sprinkle the flowers in the Judges yard
at 6 minutes before : o'clock, and it was
urged that the fault Of the serving man
was only a hCtle harmless Impotence.
Mr. Justice Strong urged this plea with
great sweetness and cOndescensiOn, and
the police Judge was so overcome by his
extreme amiability and courtesy that he
discharged the serving man without in
fiicting any penalty. The law would have
been enforced, perhaps, if the delinquent
had been workingman or the servant OF
an unknown and uninfuential MAJ. The
way to compel respect for the law is to
enforce il strictly, without fear or favor.
A Judge Of tbe Supreme Court should
have been prompt to acquiesce in the en-
forcement OF the law instead of using his
influence to defeat it. It is true that in the
case Of Mr.. Justice StrOng's servant the
time when the water could have been used
for sprinkliug purposes was very near, but
the law was violated just as clearly as if
the water had been used one hour or two
hours before the legal time. There was
no pretense that the servant was mis-
taken about the time, and, therefore, did
not do the wrong Intentionally. Accord
Ing 10 the report he acted deliberately and
with full knowledge Of the consequences.
It does not appear that Mr.. Justice
Strong acted as counsel for his servant,
but rather as an employer using his intiu-
ence to secure his servants release. With
the precedent which this case estab-
fishes, will not any one in Washington
feel at liberty to violate the O'Clock wa
ter ordinance? Whatever others may do,
Judges at least ought not to do anything
that would justify the impression that I'M
der the law all are not treated with impair
fialftv

! Now Assessment Law Needed.

a New hSHtSSAAltDt AtM NCCACOs
The Houston county grand jury in their
last report discuss the assessment ques-
ton. They saw, ard very truly, that the
way to have low tax rate is to assess all
property at somewhere near its true
value.
it is admitted that in this State, and the
same may be the case in other States, that
property is assessed very unequally, and
that a great deal is not assessed at all, or
is assessed very much below what it would
bring at a cash sale.
The ACCESSIBILITY of adopting some sys-
TEN that would secure equality in assess
ments. and would insure the assessment Of
all property. has been urged upon the Leg
isIature time and again. Why the Legisla-
ture has not taken some action in the
matter is one Of those things not easy to
explain.
This assess ment matter will pretty
certainly come before the Legislature at
its approaching session in some shape,
and it would be we'll for the members to
begin to think about it. There is no ques-
ton that the present system of assessing
property does not give satisfaction. 1t
may he satisfactory to those who success
fully evade the payment of a good part Of
the taxes they ought to pay, but to the
honest taxpayer it is burden that he
would like to see removed.
What is wanted is a board Of assessors
in each county, clothed with authority TO
revise the assessments, to put property on
the assessment rolls that has escaped the
attention Of the assessors, and to increase
valuations where they are too low and to
lower them where they are too high.
The Legislature, which meets next
month, will have some very strong men in
it. They ought to be able to originate and
pass some measure that would insure
fairness and justice to all taxpayers in
the matter Of taxation.
