The taxes in New York city seem likely
to show an increase this year, and of course
the Tammany people are chuckling
thereat. But the complaint of New York
has been, not SO much that taxes were
high, but that the money received from
them were not expended honestly and
wisely. No doubt Tammany left many
departments in deplorable condition
by diverting the money appropriated for
them to other purposes, and the present
administration has had to spend large
sums to bring them up to the proper
condition. After the looting New York
has undergone for many years past, it
was inevitable that there should be de-
fciencies to be made up

The attempt to stop further work on
the Boston subway by an appeal to the
courts has proved a fiat failure Judge
Knowlton holds that the law under which
the commissioners work is not unconsti-
tutional that they have not exceeded
their authority, and that they have not
done any unnecessary injury to the Com
mon The great mass of the people are
undoubtedly in favor of the public work
that small minority has undertaken to
put in its way all the obstacles possible
Some of them are inspired by sentimental
considerations, they regard the measure as
dissertation, while others are undoubtedly
opposing it in the interest of some rival
scheme. 1t looks now as if the opposition
had got to the end of it's rope and that
the subway would proceed without furth-
or yexation.

sooner or later Russia must show her
hand openly, if England and France con-
tinue to insist There is nothing in the
character or past history of the Russian
government to render it at all improbable
that Russia would play double game, if
she could see any profit to herself in it,
but in this case it is difficult to imagine
what she can gain by such policy 1t is
hardly conceivable that she will so far
defy the sentiments of the whole civilized
world as to become the open apolosist or

The Hon. Charles Morton's downfall
is undoubtedly due. to an inordinate

to increase his arrogance and his i'm

The Big Will.

The Ell Paso Times says that on Tues
day morning telegram was received
from Dan Stuart stating that El Paso
could secure the fight if she would put up
$4,000 for it. A committee was prompt
ly organized and put in the field to raise
the money. But, unfortunately for Ell
Paso, her people imagine that everything
must come here; that the rest of the world
is loosing sleep trying to think OF some
scheme to send money to Ell Paso. This
sentiment prevails to such an extent that
the committee met with indifferent en-
couragement. Later.--It was agreed that
four committees should be appointed to
90 to work this morning and give the
business men of Ell Paso an opportunity
to say whether or not they wanted the
fight. The Times adds:
sIf Ell Paso wants the fight she can
have it by putting up her money at once.
Laredo is offered the same chance and
her business men have put up the cash
for it, but the railroads want the event to
take place in this city. But Ell Pasoans
need not imagine that the fight can not
take place anywhere else for it can, and
it IS not coming to Ell Paso unless our
people pay for it,
"In case the big fight is pulled off in
Ell Paso the sports will commence to ar
rive here next week and they will be here
in large numbers for at least ten days.
Not less than 100000 in cash will be left
in Ell Paso by the crowd that will come

doing lot of blowing and is running
big bluff. He can easily afford to make
wild statements, when he has everything
to gain and nothing to lose, while have
everything to lose and scarcely anything
to gain. If the fight has to be pulled off

practically against nothing. -,
