NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, 1s-FouRTEEN PAGES

II was involuntary, no doubt. They are not per-
sonally TO be censured They did the best they
could But that is just the worst feature OF the
case. that the law and the judicial system per-
nit such work. and even compel It, The prison
warden was actually In doubt whether to exc
cute the sentence or not The Court had COM
monded him to do So But a serious question
arose whether that command had not been over
ruled or suspended. The chief law officer OF the
State hesitated to advise him. So the warden
was practically made jury and Judge and appel
late court, all in one. 1t rested with him. IN MS
nersonal discretion. to decide whether the
wre,ched man should live or die. Certainly the
law never contemplated investing him win any
such mower. or such responsibility. We can
imagine no man in a civilized country desiring
to exercise such functions. Yet by legal techn'-
caties they were forced upon him, ana lie Is
even now menaced with threats that his action
will be called into question, and heavy damages
demanded Of the State therefor.
A few days ago a lawyer Interested IN the
case was reported to have said that no further
efforts to stay the execution would be made De-
cause Buchanans money had all been spent.
Brutal and cynical as the remark was. we be-
lieye 1t expressed the truth II so, 1t Is shame
full truth Do lawyers play at Dattlehore
and shuttlccock with convicted criminals just
for the sake of emp;ying their pockets and the
rockets OF their relatives and friends? A man
will give all he has to save his life even on the
slightest chance Of saving it, SO, when sentence
has been pronounced upon him, shrewd lawyers
resort to every possible trick to delay the eXecu
ton. to compcate and tangle up the case ami TO
make show Of great efficiency: not because they
believe him innocent, nor because they think
there is any reasonable prospect or getting his
sentence commuted, but simply In order to make
him think they are doing great things in his be-
half and so wheedle the last dollar from him.
And when they have got that dollar they drop
the case.
In all this The lawyers are doubtless within
their legal rights. Just as the warden and other
officers are legally forced into the embarrassing
positions they occupy. II is legal; but 1t is not
equitable It Is grave reproach upon our
system Of administration Of law that such
thing should be possible The Buchanan case
was not the first Of the kind. We fear 1t will
not be the last. but II should be. Never again
should this State be Inundated and dsgraced
by the spectacle OF It's law officers not knowing
what IS the status Of a convicted and sentenced
murderer. and Of the prison warden down 10
the very hour Of execution, uncertain whether
or not he has the right TO put the man TO death.
n the laws require changing they should be
changed II the Constitution needs amending
II should be amended. Whatever needs 10 be
done should be done and that promptly, To make
the administration Of law orderly and dignified.
and to make such ghaStly jugGlcry that Of the
Buchanan case henceforth impossible.

THE WEALTH or NEW-YORK.

The Tax Department yesterday issued its
annual announcement Of taxable valuations In
this city. On another page Of this issue The
Tribune gives numerous facts in regard to the
valuations Of this metropolis for more than
twenty years. and many details Of exceptional
interest and importance to all persons who are
concerned In the prosperity Of New-York. 1t Is
apparent from a study Of the tables which are
published this morning that the Tax Commits
soners have given thought and study to the
affairs Of their department., and have sought
diligently to bring about results which shall be
fair and equitable The changes in the valua-
tons Of the various wards may arouse criticisms
inspired by selfish motives, but 1t Is doubtful If
serious complaints can be sustained. The Tam
many city government In recent years has been
justly censured for cxtravagant and unreason
able increases in valuations made With the In
tention Of deluding the taxpayers with the idea
that Tammany was not imposing tremendous
burdens on them, because the tax rate itself was
comparatively light But a light tax rate on
enormously excessive valuations works much
injury and mischief as an extremely heavy tax
rate on low valuations.
Tammany has been accused. with reason, Of
raising the valuations in the poorer districts Of
the city, where the increase In assessments
would bear severely upon the wageearners and
upon all people with small incomes, while 1t
treated with favorltsm and Partially wealthy
citizens whose goodwill 1t desired to secure
Apparently the Tax Commissioners, in their
labors In the preparation Of the valuations for
1895, have avoided the improper policy pursued
by Tammany Hall. and have endeavored to out

and reasonable TO all classes Of our citizens
They have borne in mind that the results OF the
manic of 1893 have been seriously felt in all parts
of This metropolis ever since the crash CAME
Therefore. they decided to make only moderate
and slight increase in valuations over last year
The total of the valuations Of real estate ana
personal property in all the wards in this city
for 1894 was 81. OO3 49, OBJ The Tax C0mmls
soners have found 1t advisable to increase this
total of valuations by the sum Of $l3G1o620

and are sure to impress the people Of all coun

ANOTHER GOOD ROADS LAW.

Connecticut Is the latest State to enact n Good
Roads law The act Is a simple one 1t provides
for commission Of three members to be ap-
pointed by the Governor, whose duty shall be to
oversee the work OF macadamizing roads. and as
sess the cost Of the improvement In three equal
parts on the town. the county and the State
The States outlay is limited TO $4,000 This Is
n modest sum. but sufficient to permit valuable
experiment to be tried. The road-improving Is
to be initiated by the towns themselves; after
the roads are selected it Is for the Commissioners
to see that the work Is properly done and the
cost duly apportioncd But even this scheme Is
not viewed with entire approval throughout
the State One local journal ill-naturedly re-
marks that 1.-The new roadimprovemcnt law
might be entitled an act to relieve country towns
"Of two-thirds the expense Of maintaining their
'rOads. As the cities and the people who live
''in them and who own most Of the stock OF the
principal business corporations pay most Of the
Estate and county taxes. this new law will make

'small towns for maintaining roads," That Is a
narrow and distorted view, which We trust is not
widely prevalent among the people Of the State

4 CHASTITY INCIDENT ENDED.

Deep and genuine relief will be felt by the
public at the judicial killing Of DR.. Buchanan.
This will not be because Of any pleasure in the
tragedy itself, nor because the world has thus
been rid OF a particularly wicked man. 1t will
be- because hideous ravesty upon justice and
upon common dccency has at last been brought
TO an end There is no need Of reviewing that per-
Torrance in detail at this time. The selfrcspcct-
ing part of the public would gladly forget that 1t
has ever taken place For what has 1t been but

the Board of Education. Although thorough
going Democrat, he has had no sympathy with
Tammany ideas and methods in this Board or
in city affairs. and his position in that matter, as
repeatedly manifested entities him TO the re-
spect and confidence of his fellow-citizens. 1t Is
evident from his inaugural address that the
new president will devote special care to the
provision OF enough schools to accommodate all
the children who should attend school, and also

passage Of the act OF 1892. This agrees with the
former construction Of the law by the Superior
Court; but recently the counsel Of the Excise
Commissioners advised them that the true read

Term decision. Of course. settles the law for the
present, though an appeal to the court of last
resort will probably be taken.
