THOUSANDS MADE HUNDREDS.

The County Board for the Eaqualiza-
tion Of Taxes yesterday continued its ex-
animation of the assessed valuations Of
real and personal properties in Hoboken.
The Commissioners were not slow in in-
timating that either Assessor Dollard's
method were lax, OF that there was an
intentional motive in undertaking the
values Of properties In Hoboken at the
expense of Jersey City and other portions
Of the county.
The rating Of the values OF the real and
personal properties Of the Hoboken
Ferry Company. as well as the posses
sions OF the various members of the
Stevens family. will no doubt create q
sensation when the figures are shown to
the public in cold type, and a review OF
the figures all along tue line Of Mr.. Dol

sey City has had to pay twO-third's Of the
county's taxes, aud also why there Is
such building boom in Hoboken. The
valuations fixed upon the HoDoken
Ferry Company and the Stevens estate
include in great measure the posses
sions of the Hoboken Land and Improve
ment Company.

AN UNDERvALUED PIER
In comparison some of the items in the
real property column shows strange
contrast with similar properties IN Jersey
City. For instance, the pier "oid'' is
valued at 5000. The Jersey city half of
an old pier AT the foot of Essex street is
rated at SIS, 900. The whole pier at the
foot of Sussex street is valued at 500, 900,
and the one at the foot of Grand street al
5000
Mr.. Dollard's figures concerning the
valuations fixed upon the Stevens real
estate caused the Commissioners to open
their eyes. Twenty-Five acres on Castle
Point was set down at s4S2, 900, SIX acres
adjoining these at sll2.O00. strip Of river
front property at s175 600. plot of ground
facing the river, 3S5x30J feet, Sl00,039. Mr..
Dollnrd could give no idea upon wnat he
based his figures; he had no idea OF the
market value of the whole piece Of prop
erty.

the necessary qualifications to

owner Of the college, to whose

indebted for the unprecedented
success of the college; I Am also

er. 1t is also, said he, the black
mans country, the great emancipa-
tor Of the nineteenth century. 1t
was Haiti who startled the Christian
world into an appreciation of the
fact that the negro was a man.
Until she spoke the conscience Of
the Christian world was untronble
even by a dream of the negro's man>
hood. Freedom was not given to
them as boon; it was conquered as
a right. Such country must live,
concluded Mr. Douglass, and fulfill
its mission.
Hon. John w. Lynch followed in
a brief speech.
Huntsville gazette., 1891-10-24
From the Washington Post.

Ifan appreciative audience is
needed to inspire public speaker
the Hon Frederick Douglass lacked
none Of it when he arose to talk
about Haiti last night at Metropoli
tan A. M. E. Church. This commo.
dious house was filed, many white
people being present, among them
probably seventy>fve of the dlstin,
guished delegates to the Ecumenical
Conference.
Mr.. Douglass began with a few
remarks personal to himself. The
correspondent of Boston paper, he
said, had represented him as a neg
lected old man, who had outlived his
usefulness and ought to be retired.
He hoped the correspondent was
present, SO that he might soothe his
sorrow and drown his tears by fin
ding him neither despised nor neglec-
ted. Some Of the members of the
Afro-American press had also ex-
pressed stong desire to retire him,
and Mr.. Douglass said it would be
unkind to doubt the sincerity of
their solicitude for his imfrmities:
eff these men mean," said he.
"that my place should be occupied
by younger and stronger men, I
might retire right now. But they Go
not mean this. and / can't see that /
am liz the way of anybody. Old
men have right to live, and it indi-
Gates bad state OF society where no
gray hairs are to DO found. AS to
the time of lie when men should
cease to address public assemblies,
there is some difference of opinion"
Mr.. Douglass stated, while talking
in this strain. that he began to speak
fifty years ago. and some of his friends
thought he should continue. This
was followed by a round of enthusi-
astic applause, and when he referred
to Mr.. Gladstone as the great illus
tration Of old age with intellect and
mental vigor unimpaired the ap-
plause that came from the ecumeni-
Huntsville gazette., 1891-10-24

met with great cheers, in which the
English gentlemen present Joined
heartily. Mr.. Douglass then raa>
ted how two English ladies, unknown
to him bought his freedom of his
owner for $50 pounds and presented
me with m, self, as Mr.. Douglass
put it.
I've been charged with being a
friend of Haiti, and Pm not ashamed
of that charge, continued the speaker.
/ am friend Of Haiti, not in the
sense of preiering it to my own coun
try. but in sense Of my proper re-
lation to my people everywhere, and
especially those suffering under un-
told hardships and misfortunes. |
have no ends to secure, no favors to
ask and expect none, so | con speak
boldly. | wan. to say that Presi
dent Harrison has shown himself a
| conscientious and humane Presi-
dent in this as he has in every other
matter. In my judgment no man
has been more just to the oppressed
at home and abroad than BENJAMIN
Harrison. There is no man freer
from the prejndice of calor than he.
When / went to Haiti as minister it
was with excellent advice from him
Douglass, said he to me do all yon
can to help the Haitian people and
persuade them to a much as they
can, blot out the reproaches hurled
OF them. He sent me to Haiti, not
on jobbing and mercenary mission
but as the representative Of a people
who would not profit by the misfor
tunes Of others, as the representa-
tive of a nation too great to be small
| don't know your sentiments but
am for Harrison for the next term.
At this the church filled with tre
mendous cheers.
4 After reviewing the present condi
tion of Haiti, admitting that the rev
olutiouary tendency was detrimental
but contending that it was less 81
now than formerly, Mr.. Douglas
thought there was future for Haiti
that she had mission to perform
among the nations of the earth. Th'
great starring point from which sh'
must be considered is the fact tina
she stands to-day, and has stood fol
eighty-seven years, a free and indie
pendent State. She would rather
said Mr. Douglass, burn her town
and cities, and pour the blood of hel
sons upon the ashes, than submit he
neck to the yoke Of any foreign pow

The mass meeting Thursday evening
to discuss the Terminal road rates, was
unusually we'll attended and proved of
much interest to the citizens of Pasa-
dena. The meeting was called toorder by
c. G. Thompson, and Prof. M. M. Parker
and w. w. Mills were nominated for
chairman and secretary. After ieAgthy
discussions between representative eiti-
zens, and Mr.. Gibbon in behalf of the
railroad company, the following resolu-
eiNho; PiSSSheco w ullllOIQ ISL, anu
read by the secretary, were voted upon
and carried:
Resolved, that among the highly
estimated advantages and privileges
that we as a city have enjoyed during
the past year. and which we can offer
to all who would become its residents.
are the existing arrangements of low
rates of fare over the Terminal railway
to Los Angeles.
THAT according to the franchise
granted, said rates of fare came to us by
the action of the railway company them
selves, unhampered otherwise by stipu-
latlons or agreements, and are legally
established by law during the extent OF
the franchise; also we believe such
rates, with the liberal patronage
incident thereto. are actually adya1l-
tageous to the railway company, and
that we would not have the rates changed
by an advance, nor would we, by any
narrow gauge action, be instrumental in
building Chinese wall of high rates of
tare to keep our own people in or pre-
vent other people from becoming inhab-
itants OF our city, and thereby cause
great injury to the interests of its citi-
zens.
"That we earnestly call upon the
members Of the board of trustees to do
nothing by their action to impair the
ordinance or law fixing the rate of fare
aforesaid"
The matter will come before the coun-
Gil this afternoon, and final action Will
probably be taken
