Taxation in New York.

The New York Times in an editorial
on the various tax bills introduced in
the present legislature, says:
The most sensible bill that has been
introduced is that presented in the as
sembly by Mr. Stein, ''by request. pro-
posing a kind of local option as to the
assessment Of property for taxation. 1t
provides that assessors shall state in
separate columns the value of land eNclu-
sive OF Improvements and the value OF
land with improvements and gives coun-
ty authorities the right to levy all taxes
upon land alone; upon land with the i'm
provements thereon, that is, upon real
estate: upon personal property alone,
OF upon the assessed value of land, inn
provements and personal property. Due
provision being made for the equitable
contribution OF each county to the reve-
nues of the state. there are many rea-
sons why the control of assessment and
taxation might be left to the local au-
thorities. The conditions differ widely
in different counties, and the difference
is especially great between the great
commercial towns and the rural COM
munities. A method of assessment
which is entirely practicable in one may
be very badly adapted to the other In
this city the amount raised for local
purposes is about seven times as great
as that raised for state purposes. Pro-
yided the city contributes it's just share
to the state treasury, there is no reason
why it should not be permitted to raise
the money for the purpose and for its
own expenses in the way best adapted
to the protection and promotion OF its
own interests.
in support of this bill the Advance
Labor Club, knights of Labor of Brook
Ign, adopted unanimously the resolu-
ticn below, and caused copies of it,
with the assembly's seal attached, to be
forwarded to the legislature, D. A. SO
and all the New York and Brooklyn
newspapers:

Travel in Lapland, whether in summer

son the tourist is transported to and fro
by means of a two-wheeled cart, made
very strong in order to resist the innum-

the Lapp hills; in winter ne is obliged to

tions OF socalled savagcs. Most are, at
least nominally, Christians. Partly by
persuasion, partly by force, they were, u
couple of hundred years ago. induced to
give up their heathenism. and embrace
a Protestant Christianity. In Hatta
there is the most northern Lutheran
church in the word. 1t is an unpre
tending building, standing almost alone
on an eminencc, and in it service is
rarely held more than once a month, for
the clergyman resides many miles away,
and is obliged to ride his circuit over an
almost roadless country under circum-
stances of difficulty which would hinder
the clergy of more civilized countries
from going at all.
The Lapps!have the Bible in their own
tongue. and few stories are more inter-
esting than the account of its translation.
Over thirty years ago series of religious
riots took place in a number of villages
in Lapland, and among the rioters was
one Lars Hactta. During the riots sew
eral homicides occurred, and Lars and
some others of his companions were com
mitted to prison on charge of murder.

half century ago, says New York
correspondent. The movement for the
erection of the statue was started some
time ago by the graduates of ST. Johns
College, with the co operation Of prom
inent Catholics in this city, and finally
resulted in an order given three
months ago to William Rudolph
O'Donovan, the sculptor, for a bronze
statue of the late Archbishop. The
work on the statue has progressed rap
idly, and it is now receiving the finish
ing touches. The unwilling ceremonies
will probably occur in June. The
statue is eight feet high, and will be
placed on granite pedestal thirty feet
high. 1t represents the Archbishop at
tired in ecclesiastical robes, with an
open book in his left hand, his right
hand extended, in the attitude of adj
dressing congregation. The pose is
easy and dignified, and the massive
head and strong, expressive features
are portrayed with perfect fidelity. On
the four sides OF the pliuth OF base
upon which the figure stands are en-
graved the emblems Of the four evan
gelists. Mrs. Eugene Carey, Arch
bishop Hughes niece, and number
OF other intimate friends of the illus
trious preaate, who saw the statue
while in clay, expressed their warmest
approval of the artistic manner in
which the work YVES being executed,

in the Bible, grew day by day more fond
of reading it, and finally formed the

Is All Property a Trust7

In a sermon on Socialism" delivered
by Rev. Lyman Abbott to wealthy
Boston congregation on Sunday, Feb
ruary Is, the pastor of Plymouth church
said:
Another great proof is that property
is a trust. Henry George himself is not
radical enough to suit me. He says
there should be no private property in
land. ] say there should DO no private
property at all. And yet I am not
a socialist, not even Il Christian So
cialist. My doctrine is easy to under
stand"
DR.. Abbott is right in saying that
Henry George is not radical enough to
accept such doctrine, though we think
he misuses the word radical in this con-
nection. A radical. properly speaking
is one who goes to the roots of things,
and Henry George does 60 to the root of
the existing inequality in the distribu-
ton OF the products of labor, when he
declares that the source of the evil is
the power given by law to few to
exact from the many payment for the
privilege of access to the opportunities,
through which alone wealth can be Gre
ated.
The equal rights of all men to the use
of land being once recognized, Mr..
George claims that the producer has a
right to the thing that he has produced
out of natural materials, to which he
has rightful access. Mr. George, how
ever, is a political economist, while DR..
Abbott, in declaring that there should
be no private property at all, speals,we
suppose, as a preacher who claims that
God not merely gives to the people the
earth they inhabit, but the powers that
enable them to labor, and that they
hold their natural powers, natural OPP
portunities, and the products of both as
a trust from their Creator This is a
doctrine that appeals to the individual
conscience, and it can not in the nature
of things, be enforced by law, There
is, therefore, no necessity for any con-
troversy between single tax men, who
are seeking to rewrite the laws of the
land concerning property, and DR.. Alb
bolt. who is intoxicating what he be-
lieves to be the lesson of duty to men
who have obtained their property hon

the tiords and rivers furnish entertain-

trout fishing is excellent, but unsortu-

the privilege of fishing in the rivers has
been purchased by the government. and
