THE TAXATION QUESTION At ALBANY.

THE TAXATION QUESTION At ALBANY.
At meeting of the Board Of Trade and
TRANSPORTATION OF this city on "Wednesday rcso-
lutonS were adopted protesting against the
adoption Of the Tax bills now pending at Albany
and recommending the appointment of Com
mission which shall be charged with the duty of
preparing general scheme Of taxation This
is in line with the recommendation made last
week by President Coleman, of the Department
Of Taxes. IL is clear that such a commission
is urgently needed. 1t is conceded that our tax
laws need revision: that as they stand public
burdens are not equally distributed, so that in
many instances "A grave injustice is done. But
the remedies which the present Legislature have
proposed do not commend themselves to those
who have carefully studied the taxation prob
lem. The listing bills and the bill providing
for the taxation Of savings banks are especially
indcfensiblc.
The listing bills are precisely the sort of meas
ures which citizens Of 2 free state who arc jeal-
Gus of their private rights will never tolerate
They are distinctively inquisitoral in thei,
nature. They tend to the general diffusion Of
perjury. They aim to reach for the purpose of
taxation property which all experience shows
is SO evasive and elusive that it cannot be run

Speaker Crafts, Of the Illinois Legislature says
of General Palmer's election TO the United States
Senate: 1t is a victory for the principle of the
election of United States Senators by the direct
vote of the people. 1t commits the Democratic
party in this State and possibly in the Nation to
that much-necdcd reform" This is funny To
think of the party of States Rights and Secession
advocating the election Of Senators by process
that leaves no excuse for refusing to adopt basis
Of Senatorial apportionmcnt according to popula-
tion is 10 think of water running uphill or of

1t was in January that Mr. Depew was elect
ed president of the Union League Club for the
sixth time but it was not until last night that
he formally acknowledged the honor conferred
upon him and accepted the election. In dong
this at length. he made one Of hs\best speeches
-one that was certainly worth waiting for a
matter of two months. MI DepeWs speech
was an eptome of the history and services OF
the Union League, both of which, as he elo-
ouently set forth, are unique. In Mr.. Depew
opinion. it is as a centre of Republcanism that
this club performs its chief function. In say
ING this however. he in no way deprecated its
social side. while at the same time he laid
special emphasis on its monthly exhibitions,
which have become a really important feature
in New-Yorl life.

thus summarly crushed. That is the situation
in Rhode Island on the Democratic side OF the
house. Governor Davis has taken renomlna-

tary of State McGunness has done the same
thing. The old ticket as whole has been put up
again, and Republicans, at least, have no reason

The ingenuity of counsel has again been dis
played in securing postponement of the execu-
ton of two murderers sentenced to die by cleo
tricity next week As might be expected, ap-
pcals have been made to the United states SUI
prone Court, but on new ground-namely,
that the man who defended the murderers in
court had never been admitted to the bar. The
reason for the appeal is trivial one, at least to
the lay mind. but it answers the purpose OF
delay, which is the thing aimed at.

The street cleaning experiment under the di-
rection of the Mayors Advisory Committee
comes to an end with this week. unless de-
cision should be made to continue it for second
month. The report of the committee to the
Mayor will be both interesting and important,
and ought to furnish the basis for marked i'm

street dirt Whether anything will be accom-
plished with politician like Beattie at the head
of the Street Cleaning Department is, however,
more than doubtful.
