"The Taxing or Persona, Estate

To THE EDITos OF The SuN-,Sir: Among
the variety Of topics touched by the Monday
morning pen of Mr.. Marshall. there is perhaps
none more important than the subject OF taxa
ton. There is certainly no question moro
vexed.
He says: That those who clamor for an in
crease Of taxation upon personal property do
not fully understand the case and are not we'll
acquainted with the facts connected with it.
is pretty evident from the argum ents which
they employt to support their views" Unques-
tionaby this is true.
There is but little doubt that the late
Isaac Sherman. who did much toward
pcrfecting system OF taxation in your
State. was at heart sngle-tax man.
and that he advocated the taxing OF cor
porations in addition to the taxing Of real
estate. only because he thought that public
sentiment was not yet educated up to the point
of receiving tho true and simple doctrine OF
taxation on real estate only. And 1t is to be
regretted that Ire with the Hon. Michael Cole
man have stopped short of that point.
When it is remembered that taxes are tho
individual contribution Of each m ember OF an
organized community toward the payment OF
the expenses OF such organization. whether 1t
be n nation. State. or county or city. 1t Is OBJ
vious that the only question in the case is. In
what manner y shall he tax be- u imposed? 49,
BY lawn. labor expended upon it. It is plain
that II land be taxed at Its market value at the
time OF taxation, then all wealth. all labor. and
all personal property IL necessarily included
in the amount OF taxation then imposed.
That II tax on land nlone is the only eQuit
table tax is clear from the following considera-
lions:
4 lot on Broadway. we will suppose, is i'm
proved by the owner by the erection upon it OF a
i've story building. the several floors Of which
are rented to merchants. manufacturers. cor
Porati"ns. lawyers. and others. The rent of the

Tho Cmbria.

The Umbria is certainly all right. When
she was last reported the accident which
had delayed her whatever it was, had hap
pened. and she herself was unhurt. 1t had
evidently been nothing destructive. There
had been no fire. the boiler had not burst,
nor had the shaft broken so as to beat n
hole in her bottom. as in the case Of the
City OF Paris and the Spree. She wns left
sound. and there Is no sounder ship. 1t is a
matter Of time only when she safely reaches
her destination.
We arc sorry that we can't get line to
her at this moment. but there need be no
anxiety as to the fate of her passengers.

Tho Manifesto Against Murphy.

Tie ground upon which the President
elect disapprovcs tho candidacy Of Mr..
EDWARD MURPHY. Jr., of Troy. for tho
Senntorbhip is that Mr. MrRrnY has not
ability or experience enough to defend the
principles of the Democracy u" To originate
and promote policies that maybe presented
for consideration In Congress. Mr.. MUIR
PLY Is not u man " tho right type ac-
cording to Mr.. CLEVELAND.
Now this line OF argument Is all very we'll
in newspaper. and would DO entirely ap-
propriatc in discussion among members
OF tho Legislature in regard to the fitness
OF various candidates for the Scpatorship
The Democratic party in this State ought
to DO ably and efficiently represented by
whoever Is chosen successor to Mr.. HIS
COCK Any honest discussion Of the capac-
ity or lncapacity OF Mr.. MURPHY or any
othor candidate. by the men who are to
elect Senator. or on tho part OF those who
may legitimately influence their choice.
ought not only to be freely tolerated. but
encouraged.
The objection. however. to the course
adopted by Mr.. CLEVELAND is that his
taking nm unfair advantage OF the great
lUuueuCc "IlCll llC 10 uDio w SASiC
from his high position in the party.
It would be difficult to assign any satisfac-
tory reason why the President Of the United
States should prescribe the type OF Senator
to be elected from New York any more than
the type Of Senator to be elected from
Louisiana. California. or Oregon. The
fact that New York Is his own State
makes no logical difference. Tho duty
which the President owes to New York
under tho Constitution and the laws Is no
whit different from that which he owes to
every other State in the Union: and we
think it would be indeed regarded as an ex-
traordinary assumption for the President
to object to the proposed election OF par
ticular person to the Senate from any other
State because he considered him inexperi-
enced in public affairs, and without clear
conception OF the vital issues with which
no must deal during the next four years.
The criticism which Mr.. CLEVELAND
really makes seems strange indeed when
We remember that the experience OF
Mr.. MURPHY in public affairs vastly ex-
ceeds that which had been acquired by
Mr.. CLEVELAND himself when he came
from Buffalo to Albany to assume the office
OF Governor. an Office certainly not inferior
In dignity or power to that OF Senator of
the United States.
We strongly desire to see the Democratic
party In this State keep united and har-
monious during the entire term Of the in
coming Administration. All efforts in this
direction. however. will prove unavailing.
unless Mr.. CLEVELAND Is content with his
own great personal and political triumph
and is willing to let tho Democratic party
In New York have something to say for it.
SELL even Il it does not always do the very
wisest thing.
