couragementS he and Mr.. Beard had ex-
perienced both in the United States and in
England. They had been told, he said, that
they would find no enthusiasm in England
for such an undertaking; but the meeting to
tnaugurate It was ample proof to the con-
trary. In concluding his address he de-
clarde that Ruskin Hall should ever stand
for the alliance of English-speaking people,
the Surest guarantee of peace and liberty.
Mr. Beard formally admitted over seventy
students 10 the privileges of the institution,

ION the other hand, those who belong to
the clergy should do this by an enlightened
fulhIment of their preaching ministry, by
the pomp n splendor of ceremonies, espe-
cially by setting forth that sound form Of
doctrine which Saint Paul inculcated upon
Titus and Timothy. But If. among the diff

which is directed TO non-Catholics, not in

CLEVELAND AND NEW-YORK.

More troops have been ordered on duty IN
Cleveland to suppress rotng consequent upon
the street railroad strike, and the Mayor de-
clares that the whole military force or the
State will be called out If part OF 1t Is unable
to preserve order. That is a proper announce
ment, but 1t would have been more timely and
more useful II 1t had been made earlier and
especially IL It had carried the weight of de-
cisive action already taken. The truth appears
to be that the municipal authorities of Cleve-
land not only underestimated the task they
were bound to perform, but from the outset
looked too leniently on lawlessness Their lack
of frmness and vigor had the inevitable effect
Of encouraging the mischieyous, turbulent and
criminal elements of the population TO believe
that it was safe to proceed according to their
instincts and crafty their riotous propensities.
Acts of disorder multiplied and constantly be-
came more serious until dynamite was en-
plOyed as an appropriate instrument OF destruc-
ton On Sunday a car filed with passengers
was blown to pieces. and nearly a score or per-
sons were injured some of them perhaps fatal
w. That atrocious crime has been followed by
others of similar character, signifying. though
less disastrously. the same murderous purpose,
and compelling large increase OF the armed
forces which were detailed too late and too
sparingly for the protection Of life and prop
erty.
The experience of Cleveland is an instructive
example OF the folly and the essential cruelty
OF trifing with lawbreakers. The time to teach
an effective lesson as TO the imperative neces-
sity Of maintaining the public peace is the mo-
ment when the public peace Is first broken.
The theory that amiable liberation Of compara-
lively trivial misdemeanors will let dangerous
steam escape and tend 10 prevent more seri-
Gus explosion has been proved to be fallacious
over and over again. In this city the lesson
seems to have been well learned. At all

THE TAT RATE.

II the Municipal Assembly confirms, as 1t
presumably will, the report OF the Finance Com
mittees of the Council and Board of Alder
men. the tax rate of this year in the boroughs
Of Manhattan and The Bronx will be 24S and
q fraction, showing a neat little increase OF
AZ points Controller Coler has the satisfac-
tlon Of announcing that the rate would have
been considerably higher except for the sur
nlus turned into the general fund, and the COM
munity Is invited TO be correspondingly CRATE
ful No doubt good citizens will endeavor to
cultivate mood Of thankfuness on account OF
This assurance that their situation might have
been worse. but mortal frailty will compel an
enyjous retrospect as well as an attentive con-
sideration of the fact that the assessed valua-
tions have been greatly raised. in many cases
to an appalling figure.
One Of the first thoughts to arise in contem-
nlation Of this burden Of taxation is, $50 much
for consolidation" Nor do we see any par
ticnlar reason for refusing to express the
thought In fear of judgment at the polls lam
many will perhaps endeavor to get comfort

really suffer more than It deserves; for IL was
always ready to furnish as many votes FOR
consolidation as were needed, did actually give
the scheme indispensable support IN several
emergencies, and was officially declared on the
then competent authority Of Mr.. Sheehan to
have been for It first, last and all the time,
though pretending the reverse for prudential
reasons.
Brooklyn gets of with tax rate consid-
erably lower than that Of the old city or New
York. and about 60 points lower than its own
average for many years, and next year. when
the rate is made uniform, Brooklyn Will still
have financial reasons for satisfaction with the
results of political enterprise against which
q vast majority Of its people were at one time
supposed TO be arrayed In rage and dlsmay.
As we have remarked before. few things have
occurred in the history Of civilization which
were more extraordinary and truly interesting
than the profound calm which suddenly sue
ceeded to that storm Of wrath and protest ap-
narently on a hint from accredited sources that
there was good time coming. Since then the
atmosphere on this side of the East River has
been increasingly laden with lamentations but
we suppose that Brooklyn is still laughing ST.
