Another of Tsmmany's claims-namely. that
it has reduced the tax-rate-was ruthlessly
pmotured yesterday, when Commissioner Cole
man appeared before the Fassett Committee
and told plain tale from the Tax Office. The
Tammany method of making low tax-rate
has been to increase the assessed valuations.
while at the same time keeping down the ap-
parent expenses of the city government by
using certain moneys from the Sinking Fund,
the General Fund, etc.. instead Of including the
sums needed in the tax levy. As matter OF
fact, the city's expenses under Tammsny mis-
rule are larger than ever, and sooner Or later
the taxpayers will have to foot the bills.

The subways have begun their cratic work
again. BY two explosions last night in Ninth
ave. fragments of iron and stone were thrown
many feet, one piece of manhOle-cover strik-
ing a boy in the head and perhaps fracturins
his skull. Passengers in surface car were
exposed to great danger and one woman was
hurt. There seems to have been culpable
negligence, as strong odor OF gas had been
noticed for several days, and no steps had been
taken u investigate the leakage. The people
of NeN-York cannot always expect to escape
50 luckily from these too frequent explosions.
Mr. Dcpcw's high appreciation Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers is proved, not
only by the cordial words which he addressed
to them in Pittsburg yesterday but by the fact
that he was willing to make journey to that
city for the sole purpose of accepting the in
yitation to speak at their annual convention
"The best labor organization in the United
States'' is his Characterization of the Brother
hood 1t is not an overstatement. Mr.. De-
pew's address, while serious in tone through
out, was in his best style and bristled with
good points, as the full report elsewhere print
ed will show to all who read it, as every one
should.
The nomination by petition Of Socialistic
Labor candidate for Judge of the Court of APP
peaIs has been duly filed with the Secretary of
State. Such a petition must be signed by
1000 voters or upward in this case there are
nearly 400 signatures. Secretary Rice will
make inquiries in order to determine the gen
uineness of the signatures before ordering
official ballots printed. 1t is estimated that
5000, 900 ballots will be required for the sole
benefit of the SOcialistic LabOrers, the vast ma.
tority of which will serve no purpose except
to swell the quantity Of waste paper in the
market after November 4. The cost OF printing
q multitude of needless ballots is one OF the
incidents of the operation of the new Ballot
law, but it would be foolish in the extreme

Ptt,.burr Hiah sohool Banquet.

Gaiety and mirth, toasts and music, lovely
ladies and handsome gentlemen abounded in
the Hotel Schlosser Friday evening. The oc-
casion was the first annual banquet of the
Pirtsburg High School, and such pleasant
affair was the first effort in the direction of q
systematized series of annual banquets, that the
future celebrations will be looked forward to
with great interest and bright anticipations.
Guests to the number of $50 fled into the spa
cious dining room of the hotel, where the trained
force of walters spent some two hours in sery-
ing them with an elaborate menu, at the con-
ciusion of which the President Mr.. Charles w.
Scovel in a very appropriate speech introduced
the toastmaster Mr.. Edward Hays. In bright
witty manner Mr.. Hays assumed hissduties and
amid warm applause toasts were made and re-
sponded to until after the hour of midnight.
After the 'feast of reason and flow OF soul"
accompanied with the exquisite eatables bad
been disposed of, the younger members of the
company lndulged in the enjoyment Of the
terpsichorean art until o'clock.
