at this time than 1t was year ago. Bnt it
would be difficult to convince those who have
observed the real estate IN ir1et during the past
half year that this estimate is warranted, either
nv the current prices obtained for property, or
by the rentals paid. The Inference constantly
drawn is that real property is necessarily taxed
more heavily year by year, because the increas.
ing evasion of taxation by holders Of personal
property renders it necessary to impose larger
share of the burden upon rell estate. But IL
the banks should establish their claim that
other personal property is on the whole taxed
less than property in banks, large part OF the
banking property would escape altogether and
the burden falling upon real estate would thus
be still further increased. In other parts oil
the State the disproporuon between the real
and personal assessments Is even greater IMAM
in this city. The defects in the statutes relat-
ing to this subject have been frequently pointed
out. but the Legislature has not yet devised
satisfactory remedy.

Mr.. BlYIRVS BELLI3EREyTS.

The defeat of the Colombian insurgents at
Calamas is n source OF qualification to all lovers
of order and good government. Ihis rebellion,
winch received its death blow when the shat
tered army of Gaitan was repulsed from the
historic walls of Cartagena, is the most iormld-
able that Colombia has ever seen. 1t was the
last expiring effort of faction leaders who have
for years kept one of the farest countries on
which the sun ever shone in a state OF chaos ana
semi barbarsm The Conservatives and Lib
erals in this fight combined against the Radicals,
who saw in the growing sentiment OF inielli-
gent men in favor Of constitution III harmony

dered it possible for unscrupulOus men 10 rae
To power and wealth every few yeara on the
whirlwind of revolution. The Radicals re-
solved to stake all on a general revolt. Cuol-
ing the ignorant with catchwords and plat-
tudes. intimidatlng the cowardly, and bribIng
the venal with promises OF wealth and the am
bilious with the prospect OF power, they
plunged the whole country into storm oil
anarchy aud bloodshed of which the ALTAR on
the Isthmns was only an echo.
The rebel army was oil cred by professional
rcyolutionsts and the rank and file recruited
with brutal negroes. savage Inliaas, and
refugees and adventurous from every race and
cline. IL was to this mob Of murderers, in
cendiarics aud robbers. making their hnal stand
at BIrrinqnilil AMI in the forts around CIrta-
gena. that the American Secretary OF State
granted bellgercnt rights. But in spite OF the
aid and comfort OF Mr.. Bhyard the cause oil the
anarchists Is lost. II is not 70 b. wondered at,
however that Mr.. Blyard felt sympathy with
the Colombian rebels. There was certain
speech of his delivered when the clon i of re-
belion were lowering over our own land which
might have warned people not to be astonished
if wherever a rebel lifted his hand against his
Government the sympAthies OF Mr. Blyard
were enlisted
