fraud the State. They were in good COM
pany. Scarcely one who reads these lines
will fail to call to mind exactly such in
stances, more or less fragrant, within his
own knowledge.
1t is with the system, which binds the
conscience of the honest man, yet fails to-
compel obedience to the law on the part
Of those who would violate it, that We
have now to do.
And what is the remedy?
Just this.
Require euery citizen who owns tax
able property to make oath to its " full
cash value.'
1t is not enough to expect that Asses
sors will by "personal inspection Gas
certain the value of % the citizens prop
erty.
The law now requires the taxpayer to
make oath that "the amount or list" of
personal property is full and correct"
yet its caletotion is left to be made by the
Assessor, the only penalty for refusing to
make such oath, being that the valuation
SO made by the Assessor cannot be subse-
quently reduced.
1t is true that even with the require
ment of an oath to the valuation, many.
perhaps, would still undervalue their
property. Let them do so. That is .
matter between them and their con-
sciences; or, if discovered and prosecu-
ted, between them and the criminal
courts.
There is another branch of this subject
yet to be considered, viz: The require
ment of the oath absolutely as, to the
amount and value of personal property,
instead Of leaving the taxpayer to refuse,
if he pleases, with only the slight penalty
of abiding by the Ass essor's valuation, il
he 80 refuses This will involve the
question of the right of the State to the
taxation of personally belonging to the
citizen, but hnbituufly sequestered IN oa-
other Jurisdiction TO escape taxation, and
will form the subjret suaLter of later
article.

Tallahassee Water.VVorlxs.

The City County met in Council Chamber at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and passed an Or
dinance calling an election for bonding the city
for $4,000 for the purpose of putting in thor
ough system of water works, to be owned and
operated by the city, said election to be held at
the same time the regular city election, on
the 10Th day of February. The ordinance is
printed elsewhere ia this issue and should be
read carefully by every property holder and
voter of Tallahassee
The system which the City Council purposes
inauguraling, if a majority of the voters declare
in favor of bonding the city, was published in
full in the FLORIDIAN of August 21 1885, in
Col ii. S. Duvars report, of his survey and es-
innate to the Water Works Committee of the
Council and ii is the best, most practical, and,
at the same time, the cheapest system that could
be adopted. Mr. B. A. Meginnss, Chairman of
the committee, has complete maps showing the
proposed location of mains, hydrants, etc, and all
who desire to famarize themselves with the
plans, so that they may vote intellgently on the
question, can see them by applying to him.
There is growing demand for an adequate
supply Of water for protection from fires and for
household use Tallahassee has grown wonder
fully within the past year. and we have no doubt
that all progressive citizens will vote in favor of
plentiful supply of water-which, by the sys-
tenn to be adopted, will be the very best for
drinking purposes, and the mains will be so laid
that every portion of the city, as we'll as the most
pQpulous suburbs, will be covered and protected
in case of fires.
Tallahassee is no longer a country village
Our lovely little city amid the hill tops is grow
ing and bounding ahead at healthy pace, and
it is a shame that those who erect handsome and
costly edifices should be compelled to pay such
enormous rates of fire insurance With this sys-
tenn OF water works in operation, insurance would
be reduced one half and the poor mans humble
cottage located in the suburbs, would be equally
as well protected from loss by fire as would the
capitalists mansion or block OF business build
ings on the bustling thoroughtare.
Tallahassee has experienced an unprecedented
building boom during the past few months, but
with plentiful supply of water for irrigation
purposes, protection against fire and for domes
tic use we will advance and progress beyond the
dreams Of the most sanguine; immigration 10 our
fair city will be double-ayo, qaadrur'e-whxt
it now is; all kinds of manufacturing enterprises
will come in, and in two years after the estab
lishment of waterworks our little city will have
grown and developed to such extent that we
will forget our old fogy ways and rush and push
and drive ahead as all progressive Southern Gil
les should do in this progressive age OF the New
South.
Let us have waterworks by all means

New York WOrl(

The action of one iron manufacturer liz,
Sharon, Pa, in increasing the wages OF
his workmen "ten cents day" is nat
urally seized upon by the Protection or
gans as educ to the Republican success
which relieves iron manufacturers of fears
of tariff reduction"
Considering that the Democratic tarifE
bill did not disturb the duties on iror,
this ridiculous claim will be estimated at
its real worth. Considering, also, the
fact certified to by the Republican Sena-
tor quoted in President Fosters famous,
"fau-frying circular, that "the manu-
facturers Of Pennsylvania are more Highly
protected than anybody else, and make
large fortunes every year when the times
are prosperous" an advance of "ten
cents day in their workmen's wages is
very far from 4" fair divy." They ought
to double and triple the wages, if what
they claim as to the effect OF the tariff on
labor be true.
1t is noticeable that only the favorable
straws are picked up by the defenders OF
the theory that unnecessary taxation pro-
notes prosperity. The closing of iron
pipe works in Pennsylvania, the shutting
down of the Boston Sugar Refinery and
the discharge of half the operatives in the
carpet factory in this city who were lately
paraded against "Free Trade" are Quiet
ly ignored.
Vote-catching is no longer necessary.

New York Herald,

There is no more important problem on the
CARPET than that which the race question OF the
South presents.
It is not matter in which the South alone is
interested, for we are one people. and what
hurts Georgia is felt in Massachusetts.
Seven millions OF ignorant folk with the polit-
ical rights of citizens and holding, il shrewdly
manipulated, the balance Of power, are an i'm
mense load to carry. What to do with them, to
them and for them during the next twenty years
is the great puzzle of the time.
The South has as a whole deserved infinite
credit for its endeavor TO shape their destiny, and
every right minded man will give it that credit
ungrudgingly.

Florida does not need State Board
Of Health to prevent the introduction Of
yellow fever. Under the present health
law the local Boards of Health at all our
ports arc given adequate powers for that
purpose. If State Board is desired in
order to compel the local Boards to en-
force such quarantine as will prevent the
introduction of yellow fever, a State Sur
geon.General would do as well, if not
better, than State Board, and would be
far less expensive However, the national
Government should protect Florida from
the introduction of infectious and conta-
gious diseases.
