Vie University Of VIRGINIA.

Under the above caption tho New York
Sun Of yesterday has this 70 say of the
Institution of learning founded by Thomas
Jefferson:
We have before us the catalogue for the
current accidental year OF The University
OF Virginia. situated at Charlottesville,
the institution of which Thomas Jefferson
desired to be remembered as the father.
Like other seats Of learning in the seced-
ing States. this university was SUBJECTED
during the Civil War to a degree of de-
preston almost tantamount to a susper-
sion of its functions. and in 1855 It was the
victim OF destructive fire, We are glad
10 learn that it is now recovering from that
disaster and re-entering. upon the career Of
understanding Usefulness for which II was
intended by its founder

+hat Richmond and other cities Of this
state have been bearing more than their
inst p-oportiou OF the burden of State tax
alton, and they are tired OF 1t. For many
wears past assessments in tbs cities have
| been up to the top notch, and in inIlumera-
bio instances property. has been sold IN
this city and tfiat for less than its as
sessed value. This has not been the rule
IN the country districts. Rural property
has been assessed low. while city property
has been assessed high. The reason for
this is apparent. Tbs cities of the State
have an eye TO the advertisement. When-
ever 3 capitalist from the outside GENES
to a city to make an investment he tHya-
riabiy inquiries as TO the rate Of taxation.
He does not regard SO much the question
of assessment. IL the rate is low he is
pleased; If the rate is abnormaEy high he
is apt to be scared off. This condition
does not prevail, 10 the same extent at
least, in the counties, and hence it IS that
the cities have made the rate as low as
possible by putting the assessment as high
as possible, while the counties have made
their assessments low, regardless Of The
rate.
But taxpayers in tho cities have become
dissatisfied. When a man has a piece of
property assessed at $5.00o and is unable to
sell it at s4,Ooo, he naturally complains that
his assessment is too high, and in the
face of such glarin5 faces the assessors
are compelled, in justice, to give him re-
duction. such complaints have been made
to the assessors during the present assess
men: in Richmond, ana We have no doubt
that they will be made in other cities OF
the State. Hence, we say that these things
should bring the taxpayers al large 10
rejection.
The practical conclusion is that there
should be a Board Of Equalization in Var
GINA, to see that assessments throughout
the State are, as the Constitution requires
that they shall be- equal ana uniform. In
a series OF articles some time ago we
showed from the records that assessments
in this State, both Of realty and Of per-
sonal property are made al haphazard,
and that there is no sort Of equality We
showed that horses on the red-ciay hills
Of the Piedmont section wero assessed at
a considerably higher price per capita than
horses in the rich grazing fields Of the
: Valley. We showed that in some counties
not dollar was given in on the jeWelry
account. We showed that sheep were as
sessed at one price here and at another
price there, and throughout the entire list
! there were dispariues hat could not be ac-
counted Tor, except on the ground that as
scssments are made as We have said, al
haphazard and without regard 10 any rule.
But there ought TO be a rule, and it ought
to be enforced. Assessments ought to be
made under the direction OF central
board. Assessments in all parts of Viz
! gina should be made from the same point
Of view. Ii is the duty of the State to see
that taxation is equal and uniform and
that each and every citizen bears his lust
| proportion. no more and no less, Of the
public burden.

THE POLITICAL CONTEST
In speaking of the political fish in this
State, a correspondent of ono Of the out
of town newspapers says:
The probable nomination of Coler would
certainly have an influence OF the action
of the Republican Convention Senator
Platt took such infinite pains to get rid OF
Roosevelt that he will not Willingly nom!-
nate another independent for Governor
But if Coler is to be- nominated. and 1t is
fairly certain that he viii be honestly
supported at the polls by Tammany. Mr.,
Platt. on pressure from the National Com
mittee may decide that strong candidate
for Governor is recessary-some man who
can match the personal qualities of COler.
In this connection the name of Seth Low
looms UP prominently. There are some
reasons for believing that Mr.. PIatt might
possibly prefer Mr.. Low as candidate for
Governor to any other independent.
