had to be trotted on FRIDAY morning In
the 2S0 class Won Helmont's driver had
a narrow escape from serious Injuries al
two different times; in the second heat
when making the turn on the second quar-
ter his lsulky wheel crushed under his
weight, while at full speed. but his horse
acted In rne shape and was easily brought
to a standstll. Again in the fourth hest
while rounding the first turn, from some
cause, as vet unknown. the sulky WAS
smashed entirely 10 pieces and the horse
thrown, but both driver and horse &C.
quilted themselves In manner that com
manded admiration, and escaped injury.

most TO a stop, but be grandly overcame
the time lost and heat the other horses In
the race, in the same heat. The judges
felt that It was partially due TO the driver
of Fred NJ. that the accident to Won Hell

Justified in giving the hest to Currier, and
did SO. Had 1t gone to Fred NJ, it would
have decided the race in his favor, an

REDUCE THE RATE.

Without doubt, the collection of the city
taxes at the rate and valuation placed on
property by the city assessor is going to
create a grave amount of hardship, if not
of distress. This is matter that should
be looked at from 10 partisan standpoint,
as the burden will fall alike upon Liberal,
People, and Workingmen. We have heard
during the past few days of wide spread
movement to put in petition to the city
council, praying that the rate of assess
ment be reduced from TO 2115 mills. We
learn also that wherever the subject has
been mentioned, it has met with
hearty support from all classes
of citizens, Liberals as well as People.
The unanimous sentiment seemed to be
that 1885, is a sufficient revenue from
taxes, and that would be the figure if the
rate were placed at % mills. 1t is $4,000
more than the city received from taxes last
year, and with the large sums that will
come in from other sources, it should be
ample for the city's needs, if only it is eco
nomicalls expended. We hope the petit
ton viii grow and boom, even as the cele-
brated petition against selling the water
works grew and doomed. and if such an
expression of the desires of property
owners goes in to the council, they will
be no more apt to disregard it than they
did the ether.

DIVIDING THE BLOCKS.

1t is all very well to talk about splitting
the big city blocks. In the business part o.
town the blocks are too large. No one
will dispute this. There is much valuable
land in the interior of the squares which
should and could be put to good use. Fur
thermore, the land is now put to very bad
use, in that it is employed for the storage
of refuse, goods boxes and litter generally.
That more fires have lot had their origin
back of the stores and shops in the interior
of the blocks is due more to good fortune
than to the exercise of reasonable care.
Admitting all the evil that is charged and
conceding all the benefit that will accrue,
and yet we fail to see that the public, or
municipality, has anything to do with the
dividing of the blocks. The matter con-
Germs the property owners of the respective
squares, and them alone It is not the
city's affair. If the property owners can
arrange among themselves for opening a
street, buying the land by 1evying assess
ments on the abutters, well and good; but
if they cannot thus agree, why should tie
city step in and compel them to do some
thing which they DO not want done, and
from which they and not the public, will
derive all the benefit!
Some of the blocks have already been
divided, but in every instance this has
been done by the owners of the land who
have either retained the ownership of the
street or voluntarily decide the thorough
fare to the city for tue use and occuoa. lion
of the public. Another blocl. IS soon to be
opened, not by order OF the city council
nor at the expense of the public. Tie Ioi
owners realize that by dividing the bio, k
with street they will obtain eighty rods
Of valuable frontage on land that is now
valuable only for the potatoes that it will
produce, or the refuse that can be piled on
it; and they can afford to give away the
ground for the street as they will get in
return frontage that will be worth not
less than $l,0Co foot. In their case the
scheme is one for making money, Just as it

EAST TEMPLE STREET PAVEMENT.

The other day The HERALD representa-
tives questioned good many men more or
less prominent in the community concern
ing the paving of East Temple street.
Without exception, we believe, all who
were asked gave it as their opinion that the
work should be done. So far so good. But
the reader of these expressions as pub
lished last Sunday will be struck with two
facts-the first being that the gentlemen
who do not own a foot of land on the street
were very urgent in the matter of going
ahead with the Improvement. and the
second being that the property owners
thought the work should be delayed This
is human nature and it is business nature.
If it cost him nothing the average man
would want for nothing. The non-tax.
payer is the fellow who complains loudest
of lack of progress in government The
man who pays nothing into the public
treasury is quickest to find fault with pub
expenditures.
In this matter of paving the opinion
and wishes of the property owners should
govern and control. 1t ought not to be left
to the decision of the council or to persons
not financially interested on the streets to
decide. We think the time has arrived
when three blocks of East Temple street,
extending south from South Temple.
should be paved, and doubtless every man
who owns nothing there and who would
not be involved to the extent of nickel,
would vote to at once go ahead with { e
improvement: but would 1t be lust to the
property owners, TO the men who would
have to bear the cost of the work, to com
pei them to pave the street this year?
THE HERALD thinks not. We think it
would be oppressive. The regular taxes
have been increased about 300 per cent.
which is itself a pretty heavy burden, and
is proving embarrassing to a number of
East Temple street property-owners, as
wehave been assured by the gentlemen
themselves. 1t was only little while ago
that they were compelled to pay the
heavy special tax for the sewers. From one
end of the business quarter to the other
they are being forced TO lay new or repair
oldsidewali1s. at cousiderable-cost. And now
they are getting notices to.connect with the
sewers, which will cost all the way from
SO to $500 for each connection
1t viii thus be seen that the East Temple
street property-owner is carrying pretty
load in 1890. To put an additional tax of
SIG foot frontage on him for pavement,
while it would be very pleasant for the
non-taxpayers, would be oppressive to
the man who pays the money.
There will be other years after this,
and for the sake of the people who own
proper, we sincerely hope those years will
re- be crowded SO full of schemes for
'.cinching." The community has gotten
along reasonably well for forty years with
out pavement on East Temple. and there
will be no great suffering If the improve
ment still be delayed one mo re twelve
month.

In the United States is vastly richer than
the wealthiest class in England. The sys-
tenn OF taxing all the people of this country
Zoe the benefit of certain class is bearing
It's legitimate fruit. SHEARMAN says: "The
United States of America are practically
owned by less than 100000 persons, consti-
tutlng less than one in sixty Of its adult
male population. Within thirty years, the
present methods of taxationa being con-
tinued, the United States of America will
be substantially owned by less than 0,0O0
persons, constituting less than one in 500
OF the adult male population"
triumphant Democracy will be a
curious relic before many years, unless a
change shall come over the financial policy
of the nation.

las been in every instance where streets


has been in every instance where streets
have been run through the squares.
We believe it would pay the owners of
every one of the big blocks in the business
centre of town to open streets at least one
way through the centres Of the squares,
and that where buildings interfere these
could be bought by mutual assessment; but
it the landowners cannot be made to see
the thing in this light why should they be
forced into our way of thinking? and why
should the municipal government interfere
to compel the owners of the land to do
something against which their own iudg
ment ran!
We are heartily in favor of dividing the
blocks, of utilizing the vacant land and of
doing away with the rubbish heaps; but
we are in favor of the opening being dore
by those who will derive the greatest
benefit, and done voluntarily, the matter
being one which does not concern the mu-
nicipality.

popular uprising against it. But it still
leaves the registration of voters in the
