THE SPANISH EPIDEMIC.
Several PeCulisrites Cause Experts to Hesitate
to Pronounce il ASatic Cholera.
4 Decided Difference in the IsaciIIi-Various
Observation-Disclosures Thrown in
the Way of Those Wishing
To study Cholera.

VALENCIA. june 2S.-Several peculiarities
about the Spanish epidemic have made the
doctors hesitate Ia pronounce IL Asiatic
cholera. Tho most striking i the frequency
of dry cholera one authority saws that i'm
the majority of ca>es observed, not only i'm
Valencia, hut also in Murcia and Castellon,
hardly any diarrhca occurs. DR.. Van Er-
mengeno says than in one instance the suf-
ferer, person in easy circumstances, was
taken i'll about noon. had only three attarks
of diarrhea and died at : O'Clock in the
evening. Another victim washerwoman
who had taken the disease by washing the
soiled linen of cholera patients died within
the day. but had intervals OF three hours be-
tween the diarrhea symptoms.
A Spanish authority. who j. making indie
pendent ARCHAEOLOGICAL studies here. also
finds marked peculiarities in the Valencia
bacli. He does not dispute the eXistenc,s
of A>iatic cholera. but saws that the bacillI
be has succeeded in cultivating do not de-
Velop easily in gelatine. as the true kochiau
bacilli do. from which fact he inclineS to the
deduction that there i something in the con-
ditions of the Spanish climate unfavorable to
cholera microbes. and that they drag out
precari0u> living here a. eXotics. The
Valencia cholera, he saws. was imported
from France, which imported il from the
East. In it, secondary Spanish stage it is
much aitenuatcd: nor does he nor 10 foreign
doctors much fear that il will extend To
France again. Dr. Mendoza, eN-member OF
the ROYAL Commission. moreover inocuated
fifty animal>-rat>. guinea pigs, etc-witI

pig ucoumbed. The other animals seemed
unaffected
The Spanish officials throw every obstacle
in the way Of people attempting tn study

taxation were placed upon the tax
list. In Baltimore city, for example,
it is shown by Mr.. Armstrong, who
has written pamphlet on the subject,
that about s2l ,000,0O0 worth of prop
srty escaped taxation in 1888, occa-
sioning a loss Of about $340,477 Of
revenue, which the assessed property
(mainly real estate,) had to make
good by the payment of higher rate.
The same gentleman estimates in the
same pamphlet that, if all the prop
erty fairly liable to taxation had been
fully and accurately assessed, the
city's revenue would have been great
err by 100000. Mr.. Armstrong com
plains of excessive assessments Of some
property, and says that the State and
City may be rightfully termed guar
anteed partners" of its owners, re-
ceiving as they do fixed income from
it, profit or no profit. His remedy is
the adoption of a system of annual
assessments by a permanent force Of
assessors. We think this would but
Skin and film the ulcerous place.
What is wanted, in our judgment, is
additional legislation based upon the
idea that the property which is en-
titled to contribute to the support Of
government and does not should be de-
MED its protection.

The growth of The Morning Herald in cir
culalion and influence during the year just

firing. To-day it is recognized as tho spright-
lest, newsest and most enterprising paper
in the State in its news columns, and the
ablest, most honest and most fearless in its
editorial utternnces The Morning Herald
has this reputation because it has earned it.
Whenever my event of importance happens
The Morning Herald has an account oft, and
generally better account than anyofits rivals.
This is costly, hut we find that it pays to
spend money lavishly TO get news and print
il in the best form. Whatever The Morning
Herald has TO say cditorially il says plainly,
neither party affiliations nor personal feel
ngs avail to secure its endorscmnt Of any
thing evil, or prevent il speaking well OF men,
measures or ihigs that deserve to be well
spoken of. The Morning Herald, although
believing in the Republican party, never al
lows its allegiance to party to interfere with
its duty as newspaper The Morning Her
aid gives all the news in the most compact
form, but every item gets the space il deserves,

would have been successful in some
mechanical branch Of industry. They
are to be seen everywhere, nearly, and
many more are unwillingly working
on the farm, believing that their
talents fit them for something TO their
minds, higher and noblsr.
"There can be nothing higher and
nobler than honest labor, and the
system of education that does not
teach that is deficient. Labor is the
basis of health, happiness and pros
perity. The boy who expects to live
in elegant idleness because he is edu-
Gated will find himself mistaken. In
every vocation, professional as well
as mechanical, education and industry
are essential to success The upright
skilled mechanic is just as respectable
and deserves as high an appreciation
as the most learned doctor, editor,
lawyer or scientist.
prof. Newell, one would suppose,
believes in the high grade of schools,
because very few American boys will
want to be tied down to the trades of
their fathers. If high education
promotes that then what is to become
Of the trades? Can we do without the
products of mechanical labor? If the
American boys desire to avoid me-
chanical pursuits, and are enabled to
dose by an advanced public school sys-
TEN, what is to become of the country ?
The State, Mr.. Newell should also re-
member, should interfere with the
property and rights of the people as
little as possible. The State has no
right to tax the people to provide for
a higher education than is necessary
for the protection and we'll being OF
the state itself.
40 do so is to Cypress the people.
The government should teach its citi-
zens self-reliance, not encourage de-
pendence. High education should be
matter of individual expense, the
same as other Injuries. The boy who
has talents and energy will not be
dwarfed because the state does not af-
ford him free facilities.

UNFAIR ASSESSMENTS OF PROPER
TY.-It seems that ours is not the
only community which is complain
ing, and with good right, of the un-
fair assessment Of property in this
State, with the consequent injustice
of making real estate pay larger
proportion of the public burthens
than it is justly entitled to bear and
this, too, when it is notorious that
real estate is languishiug, and has
long been, and is the least profitable
of all investments. We honestly be-
lieve that if all the personal property
liable TO taxation and entitled to pay
taxes in our county were duly and
fairly assessed the result would be a
reduction in our municipal taxation
Of at least % per cent. This as it
may, the complaint is general in near
ly all sections of the State that real
estate under our present assessment
and tax laws or in consequence Of their
inefficient administration is paying
probably fourth more Of municipal
taxes than it ought 10 pay or would
pay if all personal property liable to
