Mayor Smith is entitled to the public
commentator for his veto Of the ordi-
nance which permitted the running of a
spur track from the bridge leading to
the public baths to the back of the fac
tories which line Water street from
Wabasha street That veto, if sustained
by the council, will prevent the ulti-
mate destruction of the beneficent public
institutions established on Harriet ISL
and through the splendid energy and hui
mainly of Dr. Ohage.
The public reluctantly accepted the ne
cessity which was created to have the
main track cross the pathway to the
baths. The engagements of the railroad
concerned to secure the public safety
by the establishment Of exceptional pre-
cautions at the point Of crossing were
accepted in good faith. The arrangements
designed by the health commissioner for
ed walk on the territory between the
tracks and Water street from Wabasha
street bridge to the island offered COM
pensation to the public for the obligation
which the requirements Of local industry
originally created to have that track
cross the pathway to the public baths.
Now, without any adequate public
knowledge and without public hearing,
the ordinance creating that spur track is
put through, and boulevard and baths
alike are proposed to be pocketed for the
supposed accommodation of certain minor
industries of the city. It would
have been more honorable on the
part Of the projectors of the
spur track scheme to have avowed
openly their purpose to ultimately cor
raj the space now reserved for that boule-
ward in order to give it over later wholly
to railroad purposes, thus ultimately vir-
tually shutting out the public from ac-
cess to Harriet island.
That spur track is not necessary. It's
projectors know that it is not. Any man
who has any knowledge of the business
represented by the concerns supposed to
be served by it would laugh at the
thought that it was essential either to
the private interests concerned or to the
commercial welfare of the community.
Mayor Smith has acted wisely His ac-
ton is in the interest of the city and it's
people 1t is preservative Of public in
stitution Of which every public spirited
man and woman in the community is
proud, and which will long remain an
object lesson of superior civic virtue and
public benefcence which other commune
ties will necessarily seek to emulate in
the future.

The Noyes resolution for representa-

against a series of hearings, covering
many weeks. Neither side is DESTROYS for
protracted delay, but neither is anxious
for an immediate trial of strength. That
the representatives Of the farming in

coded, however, and there are several
plans on foot to secure that end. One

property In the state. Instead Of beina
equltably apportioned, like other taxes
all these gross-earnings taxes 20 into
the state treasury exclusively. 1t re-
qulres no argument to demonstrate that
tax of three 60 per centum upon gross
earnings falls far short of a three (3)
per centum tax on the actual "cash val
ue' OF such railroad properties.
In the consideration of these various
inequalities and defects of the present
system Of taxation the question natu-
rally suggests itself whether the legis-
lature in creating the tax commission
dld not contemplate that the proposed
new tax code should, so far as practical
Die, equalize and proportionately adjust
the taxation of all the various kinds Of
property upon fair and uniform basis.
Instead, however, Of such a readjust-
ment OF taxation upon an equitable basis,
the tax commission have framed a code
which would still further eXaggerate the
present inequality in taxation by requir-
ing all other property to be taxed upon
a full cash valuation, while no change
Is proposed in such property as is taxed
on the basis of gross earnings.
1t is fair to presume that the com
mission was created to alleviate, not to
increase the evil.

The legislature, by its express mandase.
required the tax commission to devise

SONS OF VETERANS ARE AD-
DRESSED BY GOV. VAN SAINT.

Union Defenders day, the anniversary
of the immortal Lincoln, received ade-
Quate expression and observance by st.
Paul camp, Sons Of Veterans, at Garfield
hall last evening.
The feature Of the evening was an
address by Gov. Van SAINT who feelingIy
spoke of the martyred Lincoln and the
lesson that his eventful life holds out
for all. OF those who responded to the
great leaders call, he paid a fitting tri-
butte.
Appropriate remarks on the occasion
were also made by Col. Trowbridge and
Commander J. A. Lathrop, the remainder
Of the programme being given over to
patriotic vocal selections, cornet solo
by G. E. easier, piano solo by Prof.
Newman and drill by Masters KraI
and Schilla.
The members Of the camp and their
friends were present In large numbers
and took an enthusiastic interest in the
proceedings.
Lincoln's anniversary was appropriately
observed last evening at the First NJ Z.
church by a memorial in which vocal
selections and addresses were the prin-
cipal features.
The programme included interesting
boyhood recollections OF Lincoln and his
time by E. P. Penniman, a poem by H.
w. Wright and a discourse on Lincoln's
public life by r.. A. Hoyt Each number
on the programme was followed by the
audience singing some patriotic selection
The memorial was in charge Of the

The Breeders Gazett has been
asked again to tell exactly what
the word Thoroughbred" means.
1t answers: Among horseman
the world over, its use as a noun
is to designate the running horse
the oldest established of all the
improved breeds of domesticateG
animals. 1t is the name OF a
breed just as Clydesdale aud
Percheron are the names of other
breeds of horses, or Shorthorn,
Hereford and Jersey are the
names Of breeds of cattle. When
80 used it should always be spelled
with a capital st" thus Thorough
bred" This is put forth authori-
tatively and settles the matter.
People may use the adjective
thoroughbred" to designate any
thing they please from mettle-
some horse to politician, but
when they use the noun" Thorough
bred,' it means running horse
and nothing else. Tho Gazette
also furnishes this item of infor-
nation: Horsemen call two horses
"a pair and more than two ga
team" A team, properly speak
ing does not mean two horses
hitched together, but three or
more.
