Love is Most Glad.

Love is most glad with cruel bands
To bind his tender feet and hands;
To scourge himself, to know ali loss,
To carry far his heavy cross
Into the vaguest distant lands.
To suffer-oh, Love understands
The awful waste of desert sands;
Strange that on beds of thorns to toss
Love is most glad!
And for his service Love demands
No sacrifice. Loi he stands
Calling his golden deeds but dross,
Flaunting the proud worlds piteous

CITY TAXES.

Whatever may be thought about the possible
future dangers Of the present administration
full value assessment plan, there will certain
ly be little popular disposition to find fault
with II this year The actual reduction IN the
tax bills Of a large proportion OF the property
owners was foreseen and spoken Of as probable
some months ago by The Tribune. Even those
! who have not thus saved money must Tor the
most part admit that il is because under the old
system assessments had not kept pace with the
increase in the actual value Of their property.
. This was notoriously true in many sections Of
the city, with the result that property in other
sections had to bear an unfair burden. The
burden has been greatly equalized- That the
adjustment is perfect nobody will assert, but
that improvement has been made and that a
policy has been adopted which makes further
! equalization more easy seems clear
The present test Of the citys financing is 10

DISPATCHES from San Juan report that the
War Department is taking proceedings against
Ceptain Hamilton. Of the Porto Rican regiment,
who is accused Of circulating false reports
about the character of Captain Hamlll, a
brother officer It IS said that the Secretary IS
so convinced Of the truth Of the accusation tnat
he contemplates disnissing Captain Hamlitoh
without any trial. Even If he does not do thls'
there is a prospect of a court Of inquiry.
We know nothing about the merits or thls
particular controversy, but the activity OF the
War Department TO stop the slanderous tongues
nf officers in the service is most commendaD-e.
# CaDtain Hamilton has falsely attacked the
character of his brother officer he ought to be
nunished. Even If he has not, the report in com
mon circulation is with great propriety invesu-
gated, for it must seriously lnJure the reputd-
tion Of one or both Of the officers and bring the
army into discredit-
The War Department acts wisely In holdlng 10
q strict accountability aggrieved officers VINO
circu1ate renorts rejecting on the honor OF other
officers. It is a most demoralizing habit Whlch
should IN no case be tolerated, either on the
mart of an officer in service or one on the re-
tired list Courts of inquiry promptly oroereu
in every case of slander brought TO the depart

tongues have been too much tolerated III INC
