The panic in the shanty district in the upper
mart of the city yesterday, over false report
Of q case of cholera, ought not to be without
s.xue good effect. The cholera first broke out
IN 1866 in that district. No other part OF the
city is more in need of thorough cleansing
II Is to be hoped that the Board OF Health will
give it close attention.
The need of revision of the tax laws Is again
made apparent in the suit OF the New York,
Lake Erie and Western Railroad to have the
personal taxes levied against it in this city in
1882 declared void. 1t appears that the
method of fixing the assessment was erroneous;
but the Tax Commissioners did not find that
ont until another case had been decided in the
Court of Appeals. The tax laws should be
clear enough to avoid any such mistakes. That
tbsy are not 80 is well known.
The Administration will certainly gain moth
mr in the esteem of honorable men by its
course concerning the Nyack post Office. Miss
Christie could not be turned out under the
spscious Offensive partisan" cry, so an at
ten1pt was made to blacken her character. The
charge against her was shown to be baseless,
but it served the purpose of an excuse to get
pouession of the office. 1t is not likely, how
ever, to bring any comfort to self-respecting
Democrats.
The announcement by Joseph J. ODonohne
that he will run as an Independent Democratic
candidate for Governor, if Edward Cooper is
made the party candidate will no doubt place
lie. Mr.. O'Donohue is a well known merchant,
and one of the clerks in the White House is Oh
record as stating that the letters received by
ths President, recommending Mr.. ODOnohue
for Collector of the Port, largely outnumbered
those in favor of any other candidate. He also
had the Endorsement of Tammany Hall, OF
which organization he is an active member.
A similar threat from John Kelly in 1879 did
not defeat Lucius Robinson in Democratic
convention. Mr. Kelly polled 1866 votes.
What per cent of that vote Mr.. ODonOhue
would poll is an interesting cOnundrum.
The course Of the Secretary OF the Navy in
Withholding the report of the Naval Advisory
Board. which approved the Dolphin. while Civ
Ing ont the various reports of his own Examin-
ing Board, which condemned her, has OF
course, been severely criticised. Now the pub
te is informed, through the regular press
reports, that the document submitted by the
Advisory Board Ia technical and voluminous,
ind therefore it is not given that publicity
which was accorded every word wptten in
Condemnation of the vessel. This is in keeping
With the unfair treatment of this whole ques-
lion. The purpose Is doubtless disclosed by
