CHINESE SARCASM.

1t is possible that the Chinese dignita-
rles are sincere in the proclamation from
which we quote below, but we cannot
repress the thought that the utterance of
the imperial throne is in this case sar-
castic-that the Brother of the Sun is
really sneering at his Generals and Field
Marshals. If not. then he is deceiving
the masses of China, we'll knowing that
they take his word in all things TO be
gospel truth. He said in the proclama-
ton referring to the evacuation of Port
Arthur:
Ia hand -to-hand combats the savage and
nesh-eatlng foreigners are physically supe-
conversant with the military wisdom of our
enlightened race could have planned and
brought 10 q successful conclusion the train
OF events which ended in the Offering of Port
Arthur as a bait to our diminutiVe opponent.
Which reminds us of the threadbare old
story of the man who came tearing into
hunting camp crying to his companions
as he fled, "Get your guns ready. Pm
bringing the bear into camp" A King
who can snatch victory from the jaws of
defeat, as does the Emperor of China,
deserves high niche in the temple of
fame

UNJUST ASSESSMENTS.

Postmaster Hesing of Chicago, at re-
cent meeting of the Chicago Civic FEEDER
alton, made the following impassioned
but not the less remarkable declaration !:
Cook County has never had an honest Tax
Assessor. 1t hasn't an honest Assessor at
this time, and 1t never Will have long as
the present infamous system continues. This
is the truth. and ! don't care how it sounds
One word will express the condition-dishon-
esty. Dishonesty on the part of eminently re-
spectacle citizens as well as on the part OF As
SCISSORS. Whenever an Assessor is bribed it is
by an eminently respectable citizen. The
small taxpayer cannot afford to bribe the
Assessor, ana as q con sequence the small tax
payers are paying double their proportion OF
taxes. AS long as the people elect dishonest
Assessors this Infamous discrimination will
continue.
This is very strong language, but we
must assume that it was uttered with full
realization of all that it imports. 1t is
not too much to say, that in degree it has
more or less truth as applied to about all
the large cities of the country. Mr. H es-
ing cited one case, that of newspaper
building that stands on land that cannot
be purchased for less than $500, 900. 1t is
assessed at S3S,000. He defies any one to
$1,000 that is assessed so low as $3.50, yet
aS3,000 property ought to be assessed at
only $3.50 on the basis of the assessment
of the newspaper lot.
Hesing went on to declare that the
property between the lake, the river and
Twelfth street is worth $3.50, ,00O, 900, yet
the total assessment of all property in
the 1S5 square miles of the city is but
$245, 200.
There is one thing hopeful in all this
if a leading man like Hesing. prom
inent leader in reputable reform soci-
ETY., meeting with open doors, in chief
city of the Union, can make such charges
and have them remain unanswered, un-
contradicted and unchallenged. it gives
reason for the hope that reform may be
worked, not only there, but in other Cit
les where similar abuses obtain.
The incident is valuable to all commu-
mites, as showing what little courage
may do when directed against moustrous
Injustice, for the assault referred to has
stirred Chicago people, and investigation
is likely to follow that will probably re-
suit in Chicago shaking off its lethargy
and ripping up the evil of unequal assess
ment and taxation. 1t is no wonder that
men with small properties in that city
should manifest indignation when such
charges as Hesing makes go for verify

THE UNIFORM LICENSE

The Marysville Democrat feels certain
from the poll that has been made of re-
Gently elected members of the Legisla-
ture, that the proposition to enact uni
form license law for sale of liquors can
not prevail. Outside Of San Francisco, it
adds. there is a decided majority against
the proposition, therefore the only hope
of the liquor men is in the possible deci-
sion of the Supreme Court that the pres
ent law is unconstitutional.
In this last expression the Democrat is
mistaken; the "law" is not a statutory
one, it is constitutional provision, and
the Supreme Court has repeatedly held
that under it, in the absence of a general
law on the subject, local regulation of the
liquor traffic is constitutional This con-
stitutional provision sets out that each
county or municipality may make such
police regulations as it sees fit, not in
consistent with general laws. general
law, therefore, fixing fees would nullify
the constitutional privilege or grant. 1t
is this general enactment that the uni
form license men are seeking to put
through.
1t is. we trust, correct statement that
the poll of the Legislature shows the op-
position TO the proposed general law to be
strong enough to defeat the scheme of the
uniform license men. But so long as the
San Francisco delegation is for the new
law, it has trading power with which it
may browbeat and coerce enough coun-
try votes to make the passage of the un-
desirable law possible. If the Legisla-
ture is all right now on this question.
then the problem is how TO keep it so.
We warn the friends of the constitutional
provision that there is necessity for con-
stant watchfulness in this matter, from
the opening to the closing day of the ap-
preaching session.

An Incident That Came Near Result
ing in Bloodshed.
An eX-railrOad brakeman named Lem
Strain, who has been standing pat ever
since the railroad strike, came near get
ting bis quietus about o'clock yesterday
morning in downtown saloon.
1t seems that Strain has been persist
emily abusing young man named
kerns, who went to work for the rail-
road. and yesterday morning when they
met in saloon he repeated his insulting
language.
Kerns finally drew pistol and snapped
it twice at Strain. If it had been dis
charged Strain would never have in
suited anyone again.
Kerns says he had put up with Strains
abuse, but when the latter began to apply
insulting epithets TO the female members
OF his family he could stand it no longer
and determined TO put stop to it.
