which Mayor Pagan has taken a special inter

sent Of the Attorney General. to bring suit for

is what is known as the Equal Taxation bill.
This latter measure IS intended TO give Jersey

from the VAST amount OF railroad property 10
Gated within the city limits. The palpable IN
tention Of the majority in the legislature was TO
smother both issues in committee. 1t was suC-

wanted 10 be fair and straightforward in its
treatment il might refer the equal taxation prob
lem 10 a commission. which could go into the
whole question more thoroughly and dispasson-
ateIy than a legislative body: but this propo-
sition was contemptuously brushed aside. Then
Mayor Pagan broke loose. In plain words he
told Governor Murphy. and through him the
legislature. that the people OF New-Jersey would
not stand for such eatment OF public meas
ures. and that the Republican party would be
held accountable therefor Immediately the
legislators while gritting their teeth ana huri-

STOPPING CHILD LABOR.

The decision of Municipal Justice Roeseh
yesterday UNFOLDING in its strictest terms the
school law against child labor will make us
tinctly easier the protection Of children from
the carelessness Of employers OF the eApIoIIa-
ton Of mercenary parents. In the case Drought
against the Chelsea Jute Mills TO enforce
nepaltv of $50 for employing n child twelve
years old for ten and a half hours day OF
actual working time. or eleven and quarter
hours including the luncheon time intermission,
the court held the law constitutional when
forbade any employment of n child under FOUR
teen during the school year. and refused 10 a.
low the validity Of the employers plea or good
faith in accepting the affidavit Of her tather
that she was sixteen years old
The Judge points out that even II TINS pea
were to be allowed ii would not De suHlCleh'
in this case for the affidavit did not comply
with the law concerning permits for employ
ing children over fourteen. 1t is to be SAID LOT
the company. however, that if the child was
sixteen as the father swOre no such permit
was necessary. But. as the child was obvious
" from her size and appearance, under the
proper age. this plea cid not avail. The court
GOES further and holds that the employer ma!
take nothing for granted. but is Responsible Il
he employs children under fourteen. even when
he is deceived through no fault OF his own.
This is a hard saying, but who viii assert tla'
the welfare of the community does not require
severe measures? Any rule less strict woulu
omen the door TO abuse. and every exploiter OF
child labor would be able to plead good faith IN
assurances Of parents that their children were
over fourteen.
IT, however. employers are to be held to this
strict responsibility, they must he protected
from perjury on the part Of parents. The
fathers and mothers who make false at1daVits
must be punished to prevent systematic frauds
which the most conscientious employer cannot
guard against If false swearing by parents
and guardians is made unsafe and employers
take precautions TO have their children armed
with the proper permits from the Health De
partment for all employees who are not obvious

injury from the law construed.

MUSIC.
The OratoriO SOCIETY.

The Oratorio Society Of New-YorS ended its thir-
ty-drst season last night with performance Of
Edward Cigars Oratorio Tho Apostles. II was
a repetition Of the work. though its first appear
ance In the soclety's list. for when it was given
some weeks ago IL was as concert under the
auspices OF the City History Club. No mistake
was made when the determination was made 10
repeat IT, even II It I'D rob the OF so great
an adornment as Brahms's German Requiem
would have been Dr. Cigars work Is worthy OF
very serious consideration. and the second edition
was revised and improved IL not by the author.
al least by the publisher The work benefited by
the repetition. IL sounded moro homogeneous.
more coherent less constrained and unnatural than
before and IL had. very naturally also better
performance. The interpreters had acquired a
more intimate association with IL and 80 had many
OF the listeners.
Besides this there was great improvement in
the solo forces Miss NureI Foster. the English
contralto. whose first hearing in New-York was de
ferred by illness till last night achieved aston

New-York The other solos again sung by
Messrs David BIspham. Gwilym Miles. Edward p.

Not more than onetenth of the Western Union
capital was employed here; nine-tenths was in

singled cut by the Attorney General 10 make a
test case for the construction OF the law. The
Court Of Appeals held it to apply to the entire
capitaL and the Western Union and its subsid-
iary corporation the Gold and Stock Telegraph
Company paid the tax on their entire capital
This tax was so manifeSty unjust that the
legislature I'm 1851 after IT had been finally con
strued ut the request Of Controller Chaplin
amended the law so rs 10 Impose tho tax on

and at the same time RENTED unpaid taxes

which payment had been secured. The only
domestic corporations thus affected were the
Western Union and its subsidiary company.
The only other corporations which ever paid

against the latter the Court Of Appeals de-
cared that il Lad n right TO complain Of unjust
discrimination and look to the Legislature for

MISS PEPPEacoRNs RECITAL.

In the Lyric Theatre yesterday afternoon Mes
Gertrude Peppercorn. an English pianist who had
previously been heard at MendelssChn Hall under
less favorable conditions, gave recital OF piano
forte music II WAS a thoroughly entoyable affair.
IN spite OF the fast that II came so late IN the
season. when the faculties are faded and the
patrons OF music have been stated and wearted by
multitudinous offerings. Miss Pcppercorn IS a
young artist, but she has more than ample
technical equipment and generous gilt OF musical
tar1peranleut She knows mUstr. and she feels it.
Intelligeuce and emotion meet In her playing;
which is further beautifed by refined sense OF
tOupl beauty. SChumaun's sonata IN - minor
strained her powers somewhat yesterday nGt
t.hODn's Fantasia. Op. ~. was given with rare
poetry and seusUOus charm
