A Taxation Tendency.

The tax rate in New York city for
was $197 in 1890 and this year it is
Si.90. This is not really a new depart
ure, for the rate for 1890 was a reduc-
ton from that of 1889. This decrease
of rate indicates. not decrease in pub
lie expenditure, but an increase in as
sesscd valuation. The total assess ed
valuation is greater than in 1890 by
SIS, s7s, GAS. This is very largely due to
a rise in the assessment valuation of
vacant land. Until two years ago
marked distinction was made between
the valuation OF vacant and improved
lands in favor of the former. The as
sessments of improved real estate fiuctu-
ated around 60 per cent of actual value,
while vacant land was assessed at figures
that varied from IS per cent or less, upto
A. or 90 About that time The Standard
and the Record and Guide, the New
York real estate paper, began to call
attention to this unfair violation of the
law, and since then efforts to assess
both kinds of real estate alike have
been apparent Owners of improved
real estate now notice that though the
total assessment of values is higher,
their taxes are about the same; while
creased taxation. To a slight extent,
therefore, even in New York, land
owners arc punished for keeping their
holdings out of use, and rewarded for
making them serviceable.

Yes, 1t Is Land,

A highly interesting exposition OF
the policy of taxing personal property
is in the case of the trotting horse AK
tell, out in Indiana. He is the highest
priced piece of horse-flesh in the world,
having been sold for sos, 900 when hs
was three years old. Since then, as
the head of large breeding stad. he
has shown that he was well worth
every cent of his price and more. Yet
the valuation put upon him by the tax
assessor was very reasonably what
might be put on any good horse-S50o.
But the dissatisfied economists in his
neighborhood are protesting that lie
must be taxed, not on the general prin-
ciple applied to horses. but with regard
to his great and manifest value.
Whererpon the owners of Axtcll, not
being oppressed with idiocy, replied
that If that should be attempted, they
would take the horse out of the state,
and the advantage of his presence,
whicE is by no means trivial, would be
lost The best and surest subject OF
taxation is ths thing that perforce stays

work done at his shop have de.
stroyed the garments. The case came to
light in peculiar manner. A few days
ago traveller stopping with friends
took some linen into the place. He has
seen leprosy in various forms, and as
soon as his eyes rested on Sun Hong he
hastily departed from the place. He
told his friends about it, but they neg
lected to notify the proper authorities

pany with Dr. Bernard NJ, Ross, the
health officer, he visited the laundry.
1t was deserted, but inquiry OF all tho
Chinese laundries in the city finally
brought to light the fact that the other
members of his race here had made up
purse and sent him away four days
ago None of them could say
wher, he had gone, as none of them
went near him. The purse was thrown
in the door, aud the same day the lep-
rous patient left Inquiry at the spot
showed that Chinaman answering the
description went to Chicago four days
ago. and the authorities here will ask
the officers Of Chicago to continue the
search Several Cinnamon admitted
that Sun Hong had leprosy. All o'
them avoided him. and his shop was
isolated. 1t will probably be torn dowr

The preparations for the execution
were attended with the same precau-
tions as to secrecy which marked the
electrocution of the four murderers last
July.
Nearly every train Monday brought
witnesses, but many of them were un-
known to correspondents, and Warden
Brown refused to divulge their names.
Among those who arrived up to II
o'clock were: DR.. Ransom, physician at
Clinton prison; Dr. Landy, Of Column

Donald, of the state lunacy board;
DR.. S. R. Ward, of Albany; Dr..

face. He listened attentively to all that
