POOR UNTER-TESTIM0NY.
Against this array of six witnesses
the only one willing to swear positively
TO the genuineness Of the coupons was
MIR. Tinsley, the Deputy Treasurer Of
the city, who had received some thou
sands of coupons, but whose knowledge
was found to be of the most limited
and superficial character, he not know
ing the difference between steel en-.
craving and Autograph, and not being
aware of several peculiarites on the
face of the coupons until they were
pointed out to him.
DID HE ACT IMPARTIALLY?
But in spite of this prepOnderance of
testimony the jury found in several
cases against the State. Was that be-
cause Judge Atkins had virtually in
structed them, when he said in their
presence and in advance Of the trial
that their previous yerdictS were pro-
per? or was it the jury's own erroneous
view that they had right to find for
the plaintiff on the probability, outside
OF the testimony, that the coupons were
genuine-as possibly they might have
been-and were not bound, rather, to
decide that probability had nothing
to do with it, but that the coupons
must be proved to be genuine
as the law requires? or was it both?
and what right had this judge to init
mate to juror in advance, either by
commencing their prior yerdicts in SINH
lar cases. or by ridiculing the members
oil a pIior jury, to attempt to influence

THE Times had Rhoads elected last
week by one thousand majority. Well,
now, that isn't much. Here comes
along an exultant Democrat, and he
says to us to make US feel bad, Hurrah
for Rhoads ; easily one-half the Repub.
licans are going to vote for him. Along
comes another and he says, Hurrah for
Rhoads he will get the solid German
vote of the city. Along comes a third,
and he swings his hat and says, Hurrah
for Rhoads he will get the solid Irish
vote. AS If this were not enough to
com pletely break US down and annihi-
late us, along comes a man who used to
shout for the white mans party, and
he says, Hurrah for Rhoads he Is 60
ing to get half the negro vote, and he
will appoint them on his police force
This is awful. Indeed, we can hardly
bear up under it. What makes tn,
matter look a little queer to US is tina
the Democrats only claim thousand
majority. Why, they ought to hav'
four thousand majority at the least. :
After all, we have concluded that Their
must be great deal Of Drag, and bio W
and buster in these Democratic preten
sions. Republicans, there is nothing
in them. The Republican party is a
4 strong as ever, and the vote OF the part,

The Low Tax Rate.

The Democratic papers say 1t was
ID wise measure 70 reduce the tax rate,
and appeal to the public for support on
that account. He must be but super
acial observer Of the times not to dis
Germ that the motive for this IL to catch
votes, by deceiving the people. When
the Democrats got into power in 1880,
II we mistake not, they did the same
trick. They reduced the tax rate down
Pto $1.10 on the hundred dsllars, but the
result was that they had to apply to the
Legislature of 1881 for permission to
borrow money to enable them to pay
off the floating debt they had created.
The result this year will be the same,
only II they remain in power they will
have to wait until the Legislature of
1887 meets before they are allowed to
borrow money enough to pay 1t Off
The tax rate for the present fiscal year
almost expired has been S1.5O on the
one hundred dollars, and even with
that rate SO, 900 had to be borrowed or
the city could not have honored its OBJ
legations, and even now there is an &C.
knowledged deficiency Of s2O,0 900 after
all that has been borrowed. lis true
that an extraordinary amount of paw
ing has been done the present year, but
not more than was needed, but how
will it be for the next year? Street
Improvements in general must cease
that the Democratic City Council may
have low tax rate with which to bait
their hooks to catch votes. But let us
see how much this reduces tax rate will
decrease the taxes. The house OF q
workingman or mechanic for instance
is assessed at 81, 200. The tax on this,
at tax rate of $3.50 per one hundred
dollars, would be $18 at 61.45it would
be S17.40. The saving to the owner
will be just 60 cents, only 10 cents
more than would pay Mr.. Blake half
dollar for attending one Of his numer-
GUS committee meetings. But this is
not all. This reduction Of the tax rate
must inevitably lead to another float
ing debt, as all such experiments of the
kind have resulted In the past. What
will signify this little reduction Of co.
cents on tax Of SIS, II we will be com.
PEELED to pay perhaps twice that much
to pay off the principal and interest Of
borrowed money We are in favor of
low tax rate il we can get along with
one-lndeed, we wish we could get along
as we'll at rate of 81 per hundred dol
lars, but there is no use INDUCING in
these wishes when we know we cannot
do it. Let the people not be led astray
by lowering Of the tax rate. 1t is
only intended in this particular instance
TO deceive the people and to catch the
votes
