Democratic Methods in New YORK.

The engaging frankness of Richard
Croker in admitting that in discharg-
ing his onerous duties MS boss of New
York city he looked out for the inter-
ests of his own pocket ''every time is
fairly matched by that of another
Tammany official, Daniel Engelhardt,
who was called before the Mazet com
mittee to answer certain inquiries into
the mysteries of the Tammany system
of assessing taxes. When asked how
he would arrive at the value of a piece
of property, if he were put upon the
witness stand to testify as an expert,
he swore: If man wanted high
estimate and paid me for it | would
give a high estimate. and if the man
wanted low estimate and paid me
Tor it | would give him a low esti-
mate Yet SO utterly perverted have
Democratic morals become under
Tammany education that it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether, if Engel-
hardt were today made the regular
party nominee for any Office in New
York, he would lose any vote in con
sequence of this admission that his
oath is always for sale to the man
who wants it, on either side OF case

Presslng Matter.

The Platteville papers, Witness and

argument about their presses. The
Witness claims the larger press be-
cause it can print a larger sheet than
the Journal press can. The Journal
man claims that the size Of the bed is
not the true measure Of press, that
the weight is what counts and that as
the Journal press is the heavier it is
therefore the larger of the two. Mr..
News editor where do you come in2
Can't you find some basis Of COMPARE

TAXES, BIG And LITTLE.
Assessed Valuation of Personal
Property in The City of
Lancaster.

Taxes in some form cr other have
caused much Of the worlds dscord.
Taxation without representation
was one Of the causes of the great rev
olution which resulted in the birth Of
the United States. Unjust and OPP
pressive taxation caused the terrible
French revolution English history
abounds in accounts OF contention
and turmoil from the same cause.
Some OF the evils of the past have
been corrected but not all of them
Taxes are still uncqually and unfairly
apportioned Every body admits that
But to apply remedy, there's the
rub.
One of the places where injustice
may be done is in the assessment of
property An assessors Judgment
may be at fault. he may lack the cour-
age to put an influential mans prop
erty where he knows it ought to be
especially if the assessment of the
year before was low, or the owners of
mortgages and similar forms Of per-
sonal property that are easily con
cealcd may fail to give them in.
These remarks are not intended for
Lancaster alone. They are applicable
in q greater or less degree to every
town in the state in all states for
that matter.
Attorney Brennan of this city has
been looking into the matter aud be-
lieycs there are injustice and unfair
ness in our own assessment that cry
out for corrections He went before
the board of review last week and pre-
sented the matter asking that the
board set apart a day on which to
hear his proofs that in numerous in
stances personal property in this city
