EY VERIFYING DRENCHED.
Damage Done By Yesterdays
siorm-TOdaY To Be Cool
and Fair.

One Of the most persistent storms of
the summer ragged in this vicinity yester-
day THE I he rain descended III torrents and
drenched everything that came in its
way. Culverts were stopped up In many
places throughout the city, and in order
to get along In those places one had to
wade through several inches of water.
One Of the worst places Of this descrip
ton was on Monticello avenue at the
head of Gardiner aven ue
Fortunately, aside from drenching
every one who came in its way the storm
did but little damage in this vicinity. AT
Harrison the heavy rain caused consider
able damage In Third street the new
sewer in course of construction was dam
aged to a considerable extent. The wafer
flowed over the sidewalks, completely
flooding the cellars and easements along
the street. Passaic avenue was COM
pletely under water to a depth of nearly
two feet, aud was impossible.
Sandy Hook received great shaking
up in the storm. At 5 O'Clock the wind
was fresh from the east, twenty eight
miles an hour. and thick haze rested off
shore. No vessels went seward up to
o'clock. At that hour the first OF the
TRANSATLANTIC steamships came down.
The wind had then increased to thirty
five niles an hour and shifted TO the north
The coastwise steamship City of Birming
ham was the only one that passed inland
up to O'Clock. At that hour the Fuerst
Bismarck, from Hamburg. was reported
off Fire Island. The French ship La
Touralne, from Havre, and Kaiser Will
helm IL, from Bremen, also due, had not
been reported up to this afternoon. Four
barks. the Giuseppe, Anna l.. Taylor
Albert Schultz aud Julie, arrived this
morning. AL report heavy weather OF
shore.
The weather sharp away up in his
eyrie on the equitable Building In New
rain would cease at o'clock yesterday
afternoon and the storm would blow
over. The rain did cease about that time
and the sun shone forth most agreeably.
But it was short-lived, and at twi-
light the clouds lowered again and the
rain came down in mean drizzle.
Sergeant Dunn also predicted that to-
day would be deliciously cool and fair.
1t is to be hoped that ne forecasts true.
Tomorrow, Labor Day, the gallant Ser
geant said, would be almost as fine. AS
far he could gather, we have about bal
anced our rain account in this vicinity
for the present According to the prob
abilities, we're now in for season of
remarkably fine weather.
There was only one place In America
yesterday where palm leaf fan wasn't
a superfiuity. That was at Key West,
eighty-four degrees. Boston was feeling
particularly comfortable with its mercury
at sixty-four. and out at Fort Assineboine
the good people are thinking seriously
of getting their furs and chest protectors
out.
Down the bay and all along the sea
coast there was no end of fog yesterday.

Get out of tho Mudale.

The assessments, the tax duplicates
and the error lists seem to be mixed
up In such inextricable confusion that
vs. will have cause to rejoice when the
present mode OF assessments and col
lection OF taxes shall cease. Had the
Legislature gone a step farther when
II was lingering on the edges OF reform
and have passed a complete registry
law with no politics in it but requiring
everybody white and black. rich and
poor, to pay head tax upon register
Ing, and this to have been made the
qualifications for vote including the
constitutional requirements, great ad-
vance would have been taken in the di-
rection Of political reform. The great
difficulty in bringing order out of the
present chaotic state is that tho laws
passed in 1873 for the assessment
and collection of taxes were never in
tended for an honest purpose.
Tho object Of them was clearly to
defrand the colored men especially
out Of their votes, and by doing this
tho Democratic party wouldnecessarily
be kept in power. But the same laws
became an engine Of disfranchisement
TO white as well as colored voters. The
tax-colleetor became the party auto
crat, and he, 1t was who decided who
should vote and who not to vote.
Need wo wonder at the present state
OF affairs? The people can have no re-
spect for laws promulgated for an in
famous purpose, and consequently
they could not be expected to regard
with other than feeling of indignant
protest laws that were only intended
to disfranchise voters and cheat the
counties OF the State out OF their
taxcs.
Every honest man should feel glad
that the totterng old disfranchlsing
law is on its last legs and will soon be
kicked into an ignominous grave.
It is sincerely hoped that the asses.
sars will commence honestly next fall
and assess none but those having the
right to be assessed, but being sure tc
assess all who have that right. Thor
with an honest collection OF taxes
from all who are assessed, and with {
registration law enforced without par
lisan bias we may hope to get back tt
an honest plan of politics some time il
the near future.
