Rich Men in the Country.

The subjoined letter makes IN inaccurate
but timely criticism upon the peculiar
taxation to which certain citizens have
been subjected in Westminster county, not
to speak OF other countless:

and call II sound. the advice OF ESocH ENsLEY to Gov.
ernor Brown OF Tennessee. Never tai anything that

"SApTR TIERSEY."
Westchester's assessors have followed
ENocH ENsLEY's rule by taxing the landed
possessions only of Mr.. ROCKEFELLER and
others like him. But this they have done,
we believe, not with justice, but with the
purpose of special extortion from the es-
tates Of men regarded as rich, for the benefit
Of owners less rich.
The making of beautiful villas Is o very
engaging business, full Of Entertainment
to the makers, but very costly. and when II
comes to the market value of the place

trously Improbable. A man buys q place,
beauties 1t, putting hundreds of thou.
sands Of dollars into its development, most
Of which IL disbursed In the neigh
borhood, and when he comes to sell 1t
again the return for the improvements Is
practically nothing. The increase in the
value of the place will be little greater pro-
portionately than that Of the property
around 1t. An owner of property like Mr..
RooKEFELLER's rebels when the valuation
put upon 1t is absurd in comparison with
that put on the surrounding property, and
rather han stand it he will either sell the
place or stop his improvements; and vir.
tually his annual expenditure of thousands
of dollars will stop also.
Taxing land only, therefore, as Mr.. EN-
sLEY II various other sound.minded
philosophers have advised, will in the end
be foolish IL II Is one with special exac.
tions upon some and favoritism to others.

The Sultan in the French Court.

The rebuff administered to the Sultan,
through his Embassy in Paris. by q French
court in the case Of AHMED RIzA, editor Of
the Mechtrref, the organ of the young Turk
party, is unprecedented in substance and
form. AS teleeraphed by THE Sun CORE.
spondent in Paris, 1t marks a new depart
ure in the relations between the French
republic and the Sultan. Hitherto the
complaisnnce displayed by the French
Foreign Office In expelling. by police order,
Journalists who offended the majesty OF the
Sultan, has been carried to an extreme that
outraged public sentiment. Up to the time
Of the Armenian massacres. however, tho
plea OF public policy prevailed, and though
some Journalistic. such as NJ. CLEMENcEAu
and R~oCHEFoRT, denounced the subscrvi-
ence Of the Government, the public stifed
Its indignation. The atrocities in Armenia
have changed matters. and it Is evident
from the action Of the Public Prosecutor
that the French Government does not In
tend again to brave public opinion on be-
half Of ABDUL HAND n.
At Yildiz Kiosk the report OF the pro-
ceedings will cause a sensation, for the
Sultan had come to look on the French
oo wv itiil " utippt u StEOUR
and independent policy on behalf OF his
discontinued subjects. 1t will be also q
disagrceable matter for MUNIR Pasha, the
Turkish Ambassador at Paris, who won his
ambassadorial spurs by his success in per.
suading the venal portion OF the French
press to take the Turkish official view Of
the prosecutions OF the Christian subjects
OF the Sultan and his ruthless murders Of
the unfriended Moslems who tried to bring
about reforms in the government.
Bribery Of the European papers by the
Sultan was tried on a large scale when the
doings In Armenia first stirred the world,
and MUNIR Pasha was the emissary chosen
for the purpose. With the more honorable
portion of the press he naturally failed,
but In all the continental countries and In
London he found papers willing to print
Turkish "official" versions Of unpleasant
Incidents with the object OF misleading
public opinion. The truth In the end.
however, proved too strong, and at last, In
a French court, witnesses and lawyers have
dared to stand up and %stigmatiEe the Sui.
tan AZ a coward and an assassin, without
rebukc from the Court.
Governments and sovereigns nay con.
tinue to trt at him with official courtesy
and diplomatic decorum, but the outraged
sentiments Of the people OF some Of the Eu.
ropean nations at least find expression In
phrases Of Indignation.

Baseball Endangered.

The statistics Of rowdyism on the base
ball Geld this season, which are to be found
In another column, show q very dlscredita-
BILE state of affairs. The players In the
National League appear moro like rowdiea,
pugilistio and foul.mouthed, than ball
players among whom q carefully made set
Of rules might DO expected to Insure per-
feet order and deoency Of behavior.
We believe that, az between the miscon.
duct OF the players and that Of the crowds
seeing the game In the various cities, the
players have been the cause. The American
crowd is provsrbially fair and orderly, and,
II 1t Ia otherwise about the ball feld, 1t is
because Of the frequent breaches Of disci.
pline and good manners on the part Of the
players themselves.
And all this ~rowdyism is useless. The
rule Of the game forbids an umpire to re.
verse bic decision, and yet the captains and
other members Of their clubs regularly de-
mand Of the umpire, always with abuse and
sometimes with threats, to violate tho rule.
OF course the responsibility for this lies
with the owner OF the clubs, and not with
the players. Let the owners positively for.
bid these brutal interferences with the
game and lite discipline, and the sport will
get back the good repute which It has lost.

Queens, and two IN the Borough Of Rich
mond, in all thirteen Coronors In the en-.
larged New York.
As a result Of this alteration In respect to
the legal status Of the post Of Coroner an
anomalous condition Of things will be es-
tablished or there will be q subdivision
within the boundaries Of q county Of the
duties performed BY former county officers.
II Ia, somewhat, az II the Constitution had
permitted two or more District Attorneys to
be chosen In q county, one Of them to have
Jurisdiction in a part Of 1t and another in a
different part. New York city, as now con-
stituted, is wholly within the county Of New
York, and the present Coroners, who are four
In number, have Jurisdiction throughout the
county. Under the new system to be c.
tablished the jurisdiction OF four OF the
Coroners will cease at the Harlem River
line, and that Of two will begin there.
The change is sweeping, but perfectly
lawful, and 1t Is expected that 1t will do
away with many Of the causes Of complaint
heretofore made against the Coroners, N
add to their efficiency by limiting the field
Of their labors.

the three ~vessels, the Union Iron Work.
of San Francisco and The Newport Newp
Company, but the GRANTS Of Philadel.
phia offered to furnish the small amount
Of diagonal m for their own ves-
sci, the Alabama. This last offer 10
said to have been made In order TO avoid
the Inconvenience In construction resulting
from the lack or delay Of the armor and
while charging the Government only $500
per ton, az the law requires, the GRANTS
might have to pay more to the armor max
ing companies. But as the Bethlehem
and Carnegie companies offered TO furnish
this diagonal armor at whatever price the
Navy Department chose to pay or Con.
gress should authorize, being moved by the
desire not to have the Government suffer
from delay, the cramps may not be forced
to pay a very large difference.
The diagonal armor Is usually put In
during the construction Of the hull, 90 diff
fering from the side and turret armor,
which is added when the hull IL complete.
Secretary LoNa felt that he could not 40
cept the offer from the two armor COM
panies In the form adopted, but practically
q good result Is reached for the Alabama
through the offer of the CRAMPS, and 1t
would be well II the other two vessels could
have this armor through similar arrange
ments. Still, 1t Ia said hat none Of the
armor Is necessary for the acceptance Of the
ships, and that these can be weighted to
their prescribed displacements, 90 that the
trials can DO had without subjecting the
Government to penalties for delay.
But the whole amount of diagonal aTTmor
is only a small fraction Of the 5000 o
required for the three ships, and hence the
board has been appointed to prepare plans
for a factory. We think II would have
been wiser to agree on a fair enumeration
for private manufacture, but $500 wal a
price which the two armor plants could
not possibly be expected to accept. Per.
haps when the board has found out the cost
Of a factory, the time required for building
1t, and the probable cost of plates, some
compromise may be possible. But ener-
getic action by the board Is in order, for we
want the ships.

An Anomaly in Legislation.

A controversy has arisen betweeh the Blu
reau of Elections of the Police Department
and the Secretary of States office, upon
which devolves the duty of sending out for
publication the official notices of the offices
to be filed at the coming election. The
Secretary of States notice indicated that
two Coroners were to be elected in the
places of Coroners FITZPATRICK and DoBBs,
but the New York Police Department con.
tends that actually six Coroners are to be
chosen at the November election.
Under the provisions of the State Consti.
tuition, prior to its amendment in 1894, the
county offices as established by Article X.
were the Sheriff, the County Clerk, the
District Attorney, the Register OF New
York county, and the Coroners. These
county officers were secure In their tenure
from molestation by the Legislature,
though not from removal for cause by
the Governor, and the duties devolying
on them pertained to the counties
in which they were elected. Under Article
X. of the Constitution as amended, how
ever. a change was made, and the Coro-
ners are no longer constitutional officers,
but statutory officials, amenable to the con.
- S"S ioAdbuiC IL TO-
Spect to duties and tenure. The Sheriffs.
County Clerks, District Attorneys, and the
Registers, In such counties as have Regis.
tiers, continue to be protected by the Con.
Stitution.
The framers of the Greater New York
charter, cognizant, 1t would seem, of the
change made In the Constitution and de-
sirous OF securing to the people Of the city
the benefits made possible by 1t, secured the
approval of the Legislature to what 10
known as Section 1870, which proyides
Tor the election, this year, of Coroners
In the enlarged New York to the
number Of six; four In 80 much of the
present city as is south of the Harlem.
and two In the annexed district
north of 1t, to be known officially as the
Borough of the Bronx. In other words.
there will be six Coroners after this year 10
perform the duties OF Coroners In New
York, with the addition of two in the Bor.
0uGh OF Brooklyn, three in the Borough of
