ASSESSING CORPORATIONS.

The fundamental difference between
the principles of the two great parties
in this State as we'll as in the nation
was never better illustrated than in the
discussion in the Legislature of the
methods of levying taxes on the great
corporations in this State. The parties
as represented in that body are practi-
cally evenly divided on this matter, the
Republicans being in favor of leaving
the assessment of these concerns for
taxation in the hands of the central
power-the Board of Public Works
and the Democrats being in favor of
placing the levying and collection of
these taxes as far as possible in the
hands of the local authorities. 1t is
the old contention between Republic
can Capitalization of power in a
few or as far as possible in one head
and Democratic home rule, or the
policy of leaving the power Of govern
ment as much as possible in the hands
of the people themselves.
The Republican plan obtains in a
a at present and We have seen
it's results in the escape of certain cor
po~rations from the payment OF their
just share of taxation in this State.
While it is pretty generally conceded
that the Board of Public Works is
the proper body to assess certain cor
poration taxes-as in the case of rail
roads-it is disputed that it's jurisdic-
ton should extend beyond railroads.
1t is further pointed out that while
the corporations may always reach the
ears of this Board, there is never any
one there to plead the cause of the
people; and it is the Democratic con
tention hat the local authorities are
not only closer to the people and o
careful of their interests, but are in a
position to assess taxes more ~equitably
than the Board of Public Works, which
is far removed from the bulk of the
property to be assessed.
Moreover, the Board of Public Works
through this power over the corpora
tons is enabled to enlist the strength
of these concerns in politics in behalf
of the party in power, which is an
other objection of decided weight.

should think he was a man, and was
anxious to rectity the mistake.

SPANISH SHORTHAND.
Since the War 1t Has Come in for
Unusual Attention.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
In anticipation OF the greatly in
creased trade which this country will
have with Cuba and Porto Rico, there
has sprung up since the war in inter
est in Spanish shorthand, which has
hitherto cut only a small figure in
commercial correspondence Many
stenOgraphers, thinking that they saw
an opportunity TO add to their earning
capacity, have been making inquiries
regarding systems of Spanish phOno-
graphy and some of them are already
studying hard at the subject. Ii is
true that there is a growing demand
now for stenographers who are thor
ouGhly competent TO take shorthand
notes in Spanish. The consul in this
city of one Of the South American
countries said the other day that he
had been asked by several prominent
firms here which do a large business
with the West Indian islands whether
he could recommend any person who
could take diCtation in Spanish. He
knew Of a few such, he said, and at
present they all hello good positions.
II is no small undertaking to attempt
to learn Spanish shorthand. for the
reason that IT demands first an eX-
uellent working knowledge of the
Spanish language. This must be SO
thorough that 1t will admit of few
mistakes, and to acquire a language
in that manner requires some months
a. least, the smattering commonly Oh
tanned from the Spanish n-a-dOzen-
lessons" style of text book being far

| itself has been mastered, the sten1-
graphy must be taken up in either Of
| two ways, both of which are being
used in this city, and both of which

may study a regular Spanish system
of shorthand written by Spaniard for

there is a heavy cold" "a tonch of bron-
