AMUSEM ENTS.
Buffalo Bill,s wild West,

There are few places Of amusement in
this vicinity more attractive in this weather
than Ambrose Park. South Brooklyn. The
breezes which blow over it from the bay
make it cool and delightful, while the enter
tainment which Buffalo Bill and his COW
BOYS, Indians, Cossack and cavalry from all
nations give is SO. exciting and absorbing
that all the inconvenience caused by the
heat is entirely lost sight of. The park is Of
easy access from Jersey City, as a boat
leaves the Grand street pier every after
noon and proceeds direct to the park.

YESTERDAY was the HerGId'S silly
day. 1t undertook to explain the
status of the Gutenberg cases and
explained with elegant elaboration
of error that the alleged offences
were committed during the applic-
ancy of the law of 1893, which re-
pealed the disorderly house act. The
fact is, the alleged offences were COM
mitted in 1892, when the disorderly
house act prevailed. But the indict-
ment was found in 1898, while that
act was wiped off the statute. The
question now is whether q penalty
can be inflicted on the accused to
which they were not liable when they
were indicted, but which has since
been revised, and which was legal
at the time Of the alleged offences.
1t is a very nice question of law,
and many eminent counsel think that
to infict the disorderly house penalty
now would be a violation of the Fed
eral Constitution regarding eC-post-
facto penalties. They hold that only
such punishment can be inflicted up
on a man as is contemplated by his
Indictment.

The Herald on Jersey Cityss Tax Levy.
This appeared on the New Jersey
page of Yesterdays Herald:

OF course! Up go the ratablcs of Jersey City
again. They are screwed up to a higher notch every
time a tax levy comes around. to make the yield of
cash at the disposal of the crew OF Office holders
bigger. Il is the custom in Jersey City for the
financial officers to find out how much is needed to
meet the demands OF the place men, and then AK
the valuations at any figure that. at three per cent.
will squeeze the amount out1ofs the pockets Of the
taxpayers. The old ring had in this way sent the
valuation almost onfscation nigh. That does not

into disgrace and discredit. Para

ton of the charge SO often made that

mares nest in its assertion that mil
lions are missing from the back taxes
adjusted under the Martin Act. 1t
assumes the most ridiculous premises
and arrives at conclusions which
would be laughable if they were not
criminalIy false. Starting out with
the claim that So, 600, 900 of tax arrears
was adjusted at about {, 1900, 900. it
calmly tells the people that this sum
has been collected and squandered.
Here are a few of the facts roughly
stated:-A large part of that sum has
only just been turned over to City
Collector as collectable. Another
large part not having been redeemed
is to go into a Collectors tax sale in
the fall. A very large part-six or
seven hundred pieces-has been
bought in by the city at previous tax
sales, and the process of completing
title to it is being slowly but steadily
completed. Thirdly. the city has
fully acquired and taken title to
about 500 parcels which are soon to
be sold at auction, as THE NEWS has
many times told of late. Finally, all
the money collected in any way on
account of adjusted taxes has been
turned into the Sinking Fund and
applied to the purchase OF bonds by
the Sinking Fund Commissioners in
the proper way, thus securing a real
and substantial, ii not a superficial,

sake of rounding a caustic and flip
pant item.
In the first place, tho tax levy of
last year was less than that of the
year before. We do not mean the tax
rate-that was lower too-but the
actual amount Of money raised. The
budget of appropriations to the
several departments was less, and the
sum secured from the taxpayers was
less-much less..s
? Secondly. the budget will be very
little larger this year than last. 1t
will still be less than that formed in
1892. The tax rate will be lower than
last year; in almost every case the
amount taken from each taxpayer
will be less than last year. Over
fifty per cent. of the increase comes
from new improvements made by
property owners, now taxed for the
first time. Half of the rest results
from increase in values through pub
lie improvements. The rest repre-
ssnts previous undervaluations OF
property.
Thirdly, the assessment of prop
erty for taxation in this city is notori-
ously not such that the property
owner pays more than his holdings
justify. 1t is on the average only
about rs per cent. of the market price
of real estate. 1t is about 30 per cent.
of the personality of the city-un-
fairly and unevenly assessed, one
must admit. But that is another
story. We have three possible ap-
peais from unfair assessment in this
State-to the local Board OF Appeals,
to the State Board Of Taxation and
TO the courts. The very small num-
her of appeals annually made and the
insignificance of the reductions gen
orally asked afford sufficient disproof
of the HerGIG's assertion.

A Hack Load of Young Men With
Pistols Arrested, While Max
ing Rendezvous With a
Young Woman.

Last night about 5 o'clock Alfredo De
Soria, a young man who lives with his
mother and sister next the Alamo Baptist
church, on Avenue D, came to the Alamo
police station and called the mounted Of
tcerS to arrest a hack load of young men
who were lying in wait, he said. armed
with pistols. at the corner of Avenue Z
and Fourth street. The officers arrested
in the hack MeSSrS. A. B., K. L.. and T.
n. Cox, brothers, two Of whom are mer.
chants and one StOckman, They were
in Fred HOuStOn'S hack, and on searching
them the officers, kierOn and Foster,
found a pistol on each, Il. L. and A. b.
Cox. They were charged with being dis.
orderly and carrying pistol.
The officers learned that De SOria had
intercepted a note from these men to his
sister, Blanche, making an engagement
with her to meet them at this corner at
s o'clock. As r. L. Cox is charged before
the courts with seduction of Miss
Blauch, the brother feared an attempt
at kidnapping, or other violence to this
important witness in the case, which was
before the courts today. and refused to
allow his sister to 60, and himself called
the officers.
The recorder this morning could find
no reason to hold them on the charge of
disOrderly conduct. dismissed them and
continued the pistol cases until Satur-
day.
The irate brother left the court room
declaring he would seek relief yin
this matter before the grand jury.

Passing Base Coin.

Last night United States Railway
Postal Clerk Chas. Holland went to the
gallery window of the Grand opera house
and passed a counterfeit half dollar on
the ticket seller for two tickets. The
ticket seller followed them up, pointed
them out to Officer Taylor, and on his
speaking to Holland, the latter acknowl-
edged having passed the base coin, but
pleaded in eXtenuatiOn that he had re-
ceived it the week before at the same
gallery. As this did not excuse him, es-
pecially as he was an employ and officer
of Uncle Sans, he was arrested, but was
dismissed by Recorder Shardein this
morning. 1t will serve as a gentle lesson
to him in future. When arrested he had
SLY rs in money in his pocket.
