REPORT OF THE STATE AssEssoBs.
Real Estate Pays DO Per Cent. ofthe TaHes
$1,000. 900 900 EacaPes.

PoUGHKEFPS1E, Feb. 2O.-State Assessor
james L. Williams says the annual report OF
the Board is completed. There Is On Increased
assessment OF real estate over the preceding
year Of s90,5s3117. and an increased ASSESS
ment OF personal property OF $7,G46.595. making
the total for 1889 $i.5G7. .429.757.
The assessors say that tho personal property
in the State liable to taxation is fully equal to
the assessed value OF the real. while tho real
pays more than 80 per cent. Thus s2,5OO.-
co., 900 escapes assessment in 1889 $l59.-
1856 S72, or about one-half OF the total assessed
value Of personal property in tho State was in
vested in new corporations. and since 1856 the
capital invested In corporations Is nearly 5000.
OO0Ol0. while tho bonded Indebtedness Of tho
corporations OF the State nearly all OF which
escapes taxation. Is over $4,000. .UOOOOO Thirty
nine counties show increases in real estate
values and twenty-one show losses.
The assessors say that complaints continue
relative to the equalization OF New York county.
though to q less extent than formerly. and that
these complaints are utterly without founda-
tion. The assessors follow with facts gong TO
show the average assessments In all the coun-
claims made In the different counties. placing
New York at 80 per cent. q trifie higher rate
than has ever been credited to the county. The
Assessors assert that the sales. public and pri-
vate. made in New York. many thousands in
number each year, will show that the as
seRsment is not more than 80 per cent OF the
full value. Tho Commissioners OF Taxes and
assessments OF New " ork are invited to send
a competent man with the assessors in their
examinatiOns OF property made annually
isned ns to tho true condition OF affairs in the
counties outside OF New York.
The sun., 1890-02-21

the brkneys had been raised four times In
the last forty years, although in each case
the increased value was entirely due to the
tenants own improvements. During the
eatne period, moreover the tenants had
BEEN robbed OF large tract Of land which
thew had hitherto held in common, but
which the landlord saw At to enclose. On
this particular estate the Commissioners cut
down the rental by twonty-eight per CENT
cancelled half Of tho arrears and gave the
yearly occupants whom the landlord had
refused to make lcaseholders, leases Tor
seven years.
This Cro!ter Commission lie the hrst but
not by any means the last application OF the
priuciple embodied In the GLADSTONE Land
act. According to that principle the land
OF a given country belongs not to Its osten-
slble owner but TO the nation, whose repre-
sentatlves in Parliament have the right TO
determine how much rent shall DO 1mposeu
upon IL. Should the RadicalS obtain q ma
jorlty In the next House OF Commons tne
turn OF the English landlords Will surely
come, and after Commissioners have taken
from them the power OF fixing the rentals OF
their farms It will not be long before
the rentals OF house property In towns anu
cities will be subjected to official regulation.
This, be it remembered, is the purpose not
OF the relatively small fraction OF English
voters who have adopted the doctrines OF
Mr.. HENRY GEoRGE, but the avowed and
Official programme Of the great body OF
English Radicals whose typical representa-
tive is Mr.. BRApIAUGH. These men, who
look forward to controlling Parliament, do
not wish the laud to bear all the burdens OF
the State but they are resolved to limit a
landlords power OF raising rents at Will.

not TO publish matter In which few persons
take any interest. Their adherence 10 this
principle fully accounts for the non-appear-
anoe OF Mr.. BLAIB's siKty-seven pages OF
oratory on the Education bill.
The remedy is In Mr.. BLAIR'a own hands,
or to speak more accurately. in the words
which his mouth speaketh. When he tutors
ANYTHING that Is amusing, or entertaining.
or interesting, even though It bo foolish, 1t
ia certain to be noticed by the newspapers.
This is illustrated by the space which they
gave to the report OF his speech on Wednes-
day, In which he made the remarks we have
quoted, and also abused the Roman Catholic
Church and declared that American citizens
"do not propose to elect President who
resides on the banks OF the Tiber"
The Senator from New Hampshire should
also observe that the fact that his utter
ances are hostile to the press does not pre-
vent the newspapers from printing them In
full IL they are only sufficiently divertlng,
as for example when he said: There may
come time when dog fight Will not be
more important in the opinion OF this press
than a great school bill; but that time has
not been reached"
Mr.. BLAIR's real trouble is that the time
has not been reached when newspapers will
print interminaby long speeches OF extra
ordinary duMess. When that time comes
the Journals OF the country will have cir
culation about as large and profitable as
the Congressional Record.

Wisdom in the Legislature.

We recently had occasion to criticlse with
some severity bill introduced In the Legis-
lature by Mr. s. FREDERICK NIXON OF Chau-
tauqua county, providing for the establish
ment OF Rogues' Gallery In each county OF
this State.
We are gratifled to observe that the bill
has been amended by the Assembly Commit
tee on Internal Affairs to meet every one OF
the objections which We suggested as appli-
cable to the measure in its original form.
When first introduced it provided that the
Shertrs department ofany county might
cause to be photographed "all prisoners
committed to their charge" for the purpose
OF creating Rogues Gallery, and that the
expense OF establishing and maintaining such
gallery should be u charge on the county.
We pointed out that there was no such
thing as Sherifrs " department" The bill
has been amended SO as to confer the au-
thority upon the Sheriff. instead OF his So
called department. We also called attention
to the fact that the bill as originally drafted
applied to all prisoners, instead OF being re-
stricted In its operation to such as were In
custody after conviction; and that 1t would
authorize the Sheriff to have pictures taken OF
petty offenders, such "a vagrants and other
disorderlypersons. AS samended, Its operation
Is confined to prisoners who are In custody
OF the Sheriff after having been convicted Of
a felony. Finally. we suggested that 1t
ought not to be left to the Sheriff to deter
mine whether Rogues' Gallery should be
established at the expense Of the county;
but that the Board OF Supervisors. who con-
stitute the county legislature, should be
allowed to decide whether the establishment
and maintenance Of such gallery was ex-
pedlent. In accordance with this sugges-
ton, Mr.. NIxoN's bill has been amended 30
as to require the consent OF the Board OF
Supervisors in each case before the Sheriff
can open his picture gallery of criminals
We cordially approve these changes, not
80 much because they are the results Of our
own criticism as because they are conducive
to tho best interests OF the people. and In
dicative Of willingness on the part OF mem
bers OF the Legislature to heed intelligent
suggestions made for their guidance.
