LoNDoS. July 15.-The Daily News, this
morning prints an interview with the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. in which he remarked
upon the quiet and orderly character of English
elections as compared with elections in America
Regarding the political battle, he said that
Americans were profoundly interested in the
British leaders. holding them in sort of ideal
reverence. With respect to his presence here
amid the strife. he said that his finding Glad
stone and Bright pelting letters at each other
produced strange illusion.
From the American standpoint he said
s'the question at issue is as simple as a, b. c.
But when we come here we find details rather
than principles separating the great leaders.
While in the first instance our whole thought
goes with Gladstone, vet when we read the argu-
ments of other men we admit our inability to
meet them. Then we are puzzled, but on the
details, not on the general scheme at ALL"
Reverting to the elections, he admitted that
the English laws were much more rigorous than
the American Bnt he thought Americas sys-
tenn OF registration better than England's
Bribery, he said, was a great danger in the
American elective system. The difficulty
was to obtain laws to suppress bribery.
The dynamite fund sent to England
was raised by an insignificant circle of
imported wretches which American-born
Irishmeu were as much opposed to as English
men. The American national feeling was not

was movement that had not taken deep root
In America.
Mr.. Beecher objected to English newspapers
treating the American interest in the Irish qucs-
tion as an intrusion. He earnestly maintained
that the Americans had no such intention.

sending his message he quietly walked out of the
building and into the city to continue his spree
The officers did not miss him until the case was
called, but they found him that evening in bed
at home. He was brought to the station house
and fined in court day before yesterday During
the day Judge Howe gave his wife decree for

engineer in their mill, after hard contested
trial. was yesterday decided in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, the jurors taking the case at o'clock
on Tuesday, and giving verdict at 2 o'clock yes
terday. 1t was charged in the complaint that
the accident which caused Emory's death was
by reason of gross negligence by defendants in
placing machinery; and then. by an amended
complaint, after the trial was half through, that
defective and decayed floor went down and
threw him onto swift-revolving shaft, thus
causing his DEATH 1t was shown in evidence by
the compliments own witnesses that no blame
could be placed against Richardson & Evans on
account of machine arrangements and that the
floor was of now and sound material built new
two years ago, and the same floor and material
are still in use.

Although this is to be the last week, and the

the meeting appears to be just as interesting as

service the gallery was thrown open to accom-

Robinson read and explained the constitution of

upon the choir to sing Across the Line" During
the singing of the last verse the membership in

many asked or signiied their intention of cross

THE BURDEN OF TAXATION.
Figures Which Prove C0nclusively that
1t Is at Present Unevenly Divided.
City Property Made to Pay Greater Portion
of the States Expenses than the Farm
Property Of the Commonwealth.

The State officers are deeply concerned in the
result Of the sexennial assessment of real estate
which will be made next spring, as it is feared
that there will be q very great decrease in the
assessed value Of taxable property, and that, in
consequence an increased levy will be required
to meet the necessary expenses Of the State
government There was decrease of over
$l55, 000, 900 in the valuation of property when
the last sexennial assessment was made six
years ago, when there was greater
activity in business and more general
prosperity than there has been during the last
six years. The general depression in values
which now prevails will doubtless cause as great
decrease as there was six years ago. State
Auditor Rice estimates that the total will be
fully 800. 600. 900 less than the present assess
ment, and this seems like a fair calculation in
considering the history Of the effect which the
conditions Of the times has had upon the assess
ments in previous years. Since 1873, when val
ues were at the highest. the total assessment
has gradually declined from 1854, AIS to
$793, 526,079 while there has been
no change in the levy for
State expenses during that period. AS was
stated in the Journal few days ago. the thing
most feared is an unequal distribution of the tax
burden between different counties by the lack of
a uniform system Of assessment, and against
this last there is absolutely no safeguard under
the provisions OF the present law The follow
ing statement, showing the proportionate distri-
button Of the tax burden between the different
counties at the present time. has just been COM
piled by the State Auditor, and one of the most
remarkable things it shows is that the farm
lands. in comparison with city property, do not
hear their fair share NJ tha nuhlic eynanSes.
