x Valuations.

The alleged New Jersey edition of
the World is ON the wrong side as
usual this morning. 1t takes up the
cudgels for the tax shirkers and
kickers, and displays its customary
leaning toward those who are schem-
ing against the Democratic party.
In an article evidently dictated by
Mr.. Dave Lawrence, the taking sheet
attacks the Jersey City government
for one of the really good things that
it has done, that is for increasing the
taxing values of property to some
thing like a reasonable figure.
We would not venture to assert that
no mistakes have been made in the
reassessment of City property. 1t
would be odd if error had not crept
into so vast a work. But the World
is not content with assailing the errors
in the tax books. 1t attacks the in
crease, broadly, just because it is an
increase, not neutrality-suspicious. not
knowing-that the property OF Jersey
City has been scandalously under
valued for years.
1t is notable that the principal
kickers on the increase this year-as
usual-are rich property owners. The
reason is that, in the past, the under
valuations have been made chiefly in
the interest of rich and influential
persons, and those who lacked pulp
have had to bear the burden.

boys OF Bayonne at Mondays sessions
and not find mary a beanshooter2'
Such goodness as this is absolutely
fearful to contemplate-from the
natural d~epravity" outlook. Just
think of It'll Half a dozen schools,
every one of them at least half full of
BOYS, and mary a be~anshooter'
among them! The pessimist who can
look this fact squarely in the face
without a complete surrender must be
Joined to his idols. The fathers of boys
like these must have wings sprouting
beneath their overcoats while their
mothers must be already angels, full
fiedged, winged and equipped accord
ing to law. And the boys!-well, all
we can say on that subject is that the
Mother of the Gracchi may as well go
put her jewels in ''hoc."
Loving contemplation of good, bean
shooterless Bayonne impels us to hope
that the Christmas Second Advent
lists are foredoomed to another knock
out. Bayonne is the salt of the earth
and will assuredly saw it, even at the
last moment.
Apropos of this subject, the lawyers
of Bayonne met in solemn conclave
last night and firmly resolved that,
beginning next Monday, their offices
should be closed, sealed and duly de-
livered to the powers of darkness at
six P. NJ. regularly. One would
hardly suppose that so good a town
had any use for lawyers. even in the
daytime. But Bayonne evidently
has some wicked visitors who take adj
vantage of the unsophisticated resi-
dents, for there we're no less than five
burglaries in the town last night.

The keenan, Sale.

The sale of the Keenan, estate yes
terday, conducted by Emmons & Co..
was a great success. Few events of
the sort have had a larger attendance
and few have aroused more interest
among investors and property wners.
The prices obtained were good though
not inflated. They will doubtless be
quoted for some time to come as set
ting the standard of values in the
localities of the several parcels sold.
The good results obtained are the
result OF good management and judic-
ious advertising. The sale was
brought to the notice of the public
by a judiciously liberal use of print
ers' ink. The newspapers and the
dead walls of the city were utilized,
and by the time the appointed date
came around. every man, woman and
child knew about the sale.
This is the way to do business. 1t
costs a little, but the money put out
brings its own return, as the prices
secured yesterday prove. 1t would be
a good thing for the city if more of it's
business were conducted on the same
plan as the Keenan, estate sale.

Bayonne must be o truly good
town, the one green spot in the
wicked desert of Hudson and all
ready for sudden translation into
several other world languages if the
Second Adventists keep their promise
this time aud wipe OFT our sublunary
sphere as they have agreed (among
themselves) that they will do Christ
mas Day. Parenthetically, it may be
observed that only the crankiest sort
sort Of a crank would select Christmas
Day for such an event. No man
whose milk OF human kindness had
not been converted into bonny-
clapper of the sourest sort would ever
have thought of having the world de-
molished on Christmas Day, right in
the midst of the holiday rejoicings
Of all Christian children, putting
Pagan adolescence out of considera-
lion altogether; and any halfway de-
cent crank would certainly let affairs
run on in their old grooves until
January 8, SO as to allow the ladies to
receive New Years calls and return
them the following day.
But where is Bayonne? Let not
that town and its goodness be lost

ness is full, complete, circumstantial,
conclusive and incontrovertible.

1t would hardly be worth while to
speak of President H%arrison's message
were it not for the cruel blow which
it inflicts on Mr.. Secretary Blaine
and his reciprocity policy. The Presi-
dent disposes of them with a mere
mention of the most casual kind. The
treaties that have been hailed by
adherents of the Secretary of State as
triumphs of the Republican adj
ministration, seem in Mr.. H%arrison's
opinion, to be Of SO little Importance
to the country that a cursory allusion
conveys all the information that Con-
gress need have about them.
The people will now naturally ask
whether this is the true measure of
the value of. Blaine-McKinleyite reci-
procity, or whether it is merely the
exponent of Benjamin Harrison's
mental and moral character. Are
these treaties mere unimportant pieces
of political pretence, or is it only the
smallness of Mr.. Harrison's spite
which seeks to give them that APP
pearance?
In general, the Message is an utterly
unimportant document. 1t gives no
new Information, and practically ex-
presses no views. 1t is commonplace,
characterless, dry and mechanical in
material. 1t is pompous, vulgar and
conventional in style. 1t is in all re-
spects the counterpart of the ride
ulous speeches to which Mr.. Harrison
treated the country during his cele-
brated Western trip.
To sum up the message in one
word:-Mr. Harrison had nothing to
say and he said it badly.

TAXES AND VALUES.

From the NeGpdrk Journal.
The list of tax rates IN the different To-

be more ineligible If the rates Of valua-
ton for assessing taxes were also given.
A high rate does not necessarily argue
that the taxes paid are high, since the as
sessed valuations may be extremely low.
At the same time a low rate of tax may
be assessed on a high valuation.
