Government by injunction, which in
its original form was welcomed by the
great corporations Is a weapon against
labor organizations, is not relished by
them now when turned against com

sword that would cut both ways are
proving true.

A sATISFACTORY TAX RATE.

The outcome of the long-drawn con.
test over the city assessment will in the
main be received with satisfaction by
all classes Of taxpayers. While a 30
mill tax rate is 8 mills higher than vas
the rate of 1893. when the present tar
commissioner system went into effect.
a reduction of 4 mills from last years
levy affords a substantial degree of re-
lief.
The principal difference between the
tax rate OF 1898 and that Of this year is
by reason of the increased school tax.
In 1898 the school levy was under con-
troll Of the council. while now it is ar
bitrarily fixed by the school board under
a special law. While the school tax this
year is one-half mill less than that of
last year, the proceeds will be only
$4,000 less than last year, when the tax
was enormously in excess of the ordi-
nary wants of the schools because OF
the overlaps.
In keeping the levy for 1902 down to
80 mills the council has acted wisely
lii Win uuc lCSdAu W LhC uChluhuS VI
the taxpayers, and especially the inter
ests of the real estate owners, who bear
the bulk Of the burden. A tax rate
above 80 mills would have been most
decidedly unpopular, If not positively
damaging.
The chief aim Of the fight made by the
Real Estate exchange for an increase in
the assessment of the franchised cor
porations wal to ecure a reduced tax
rate that would make real estate more
inviting to investors. Through the de-
cision Of the supreme court that body
was enabled to procure an increase in
the aggregate assessment by more than
$1,000, OOO, but that would have been a
barren victory had the council not made
a tangible reduction In the rate.

Washington Post.
Somebody in authority ought to notify
Mount Iona. out there In Nebraska, that
1t must not get too gay at this particular
time. We are having trouble enough with
volcanoes as 1t is. The real thing is more
appalling than there is any need TO-. In
Martinique and st. Vincent we have had
tragedies that will last our time. Further
more, every hill with a hole in accounting
the West Indies, the -Isthmus, Nicaragua,
Mexico. etc.-has begun to puff and snort
and wriggle. as though II were about to
calculate with the utmost ferocity. Be-
sides, and as II the commissions Of nature
we're not SUFFICIENT, political revolutions
are raging In various quarters-Coiombia,
Ecuador, Venezuela, Santo Domingo and
other spots too numerous to mentor and
too hot to handle. Not to put too fine a
point upon 1t we are surrounded at this
moment with eruptions OF all sorts, and we
do not want any foolishness out In Ne
braska with Mount Iona. That enterprise
ing little pustule must be poulticed for the
present, at least, and until we can give II
some attention.
Obviously these outhursts are unpleas-
antly abundant for the moment. They can
not all Of them be encouraged at the same
time without danger to the general good.
The populace in Venezuela, Hayti. Colombia
and Ecuador seem to be in a state OF the
most violent ebullition. Nobody knows ex-
actly what the matter is. 1t looks like a
case Of hot blood everywhere. The eitua-
tion In Hayti Is interesting, but only be-
cause 1t is Of recent occurrence. To be
sure, the predicament OF the former presi-
dent, Sambo Sam-or Simon SANS dis
tressing, but that doesn't count. sambo
Sam has had a long turn at the spigot, and

ourselves about his future. It makes very

Arcades Omnes-they are all the same to
us, But we don't want this little runt Of a
volcano in Nebraska to be putting on airs
while we are busy In other directions. Ne
braska has given US it's full share of senaa-
lions as things are. We can't have Mount
Iona chip in at such a crisis with a crest
Of Inflammation. Something must be done
to Mount Iona-a bucket OF water, for ex-
ample, or a cork.
Seriously, Just now. affairs in the west
ern hemisphere are about as lively as they
need be. We have real volcanoes, ana to
spare, and more sambo Sans than are
necessary to our comfort. Somebody must

A modish young woman, strikingly we'll
gowned, and evidently a member OF that
grade Of society that the March Hare sue
GENTLY termed the very best butter"
walked briskly through City Hall park from
the direction Of the bridge, one fair morn
ing last week, relates the Evening Post.
She carried a small light suit case and
two golf clubs. Just before she reached
the Broadway sidewalk she almost stopped
and said, "Oh, DEAR" so loud and in q
tone Of such genuine distress that a young
man walking behind her heard, and won
dered what the matter was. The young
woman approached a bootblack. "Varnisd
my boots. please she said. Then she
leaned nonchalantly against the wire fenc-
ing while the boy went down on his knees
and worked. 1t was such a singularly un-
expected scene that nearly all the men h
passed stared openly, and unless they were
in a great hurry looked back over their
shoulders and made some laughing COM
ment to their companions. The girl paid
not the slightest heed. and was apparently
unconscious OF the attention she was at
tracing. 1t is not uncomon, however, to
see women having their boots blacked on
ferryboats, and the boys who stay on the
boats say that during the shopping hours
they polish up almost as many women's
shoes as they do mems in the earlier hours
Of the morning.

Out Of the city tax levy compiled
lions the school board seems to be the
principal gamer, inasmuch as 1t has been
given a tax levy at the original rate de-
manded but ON the increased aggre-
gate assessment. AS a result the school
board revenue from taxation will be
greater by nearly $4,000 than its esti-
mate, while 1t will also have an in
creased revenue from the state appor-
tionment over what it had counted on.
The fact, however, that It's resources
have thus been increased affords no rea-
son why the board should not continue a
policy Of strict economy that will keep
1t not only within it's revenue but sink
the unwarranted floating school debt
that has been hanging oyer us for years.

Nothing could be found to show how the

The deed satisfied the company, and the
