The Taxation Ranorts.
From the Hoboken Observer

Ofl-S3
Back to the governor and the Legislatures
whence it should never have been TAKEN
goes once more the question of equal taxa
ton. Practically nothing had been settled
by the majority of Governor Murphy's spe-
cial commission that was not determined
independently of them, unless it be the
necessity for the creation of state board of
equalization
They unanimously favor the taxation of
second class property at local rates and for
local purposes hut this was agreed to by
both political parties and the raj roads
themselves last fall, and it Is very small
part of the problem
On the main issue three of the com
missioners, Werts, Lentz and West, have
lodged, and lodged shamelessIy
They do not undertake to advise the
legislature whether the taxes on the
Sl0O, 00o, 900 worth of first-class railroad
property, which now escapes with nom
ina assessment, shall or shall not be in
creased
Though each of them knew that this
scandalous injustice was the main subject
of discussion in the last campaign and that
the politicians and lawmakers referred to
them to get rid OF it, they very grayely
refer it back without word of advice,
shifting from their own shoulders to those
of the assemblymen and senators its
tilement.
When the influences that surround the
commission are considered this evasion
must be looked upon as something akin to
popular victory. Lentz, West and Werts
were expected to take the railroads. side
OF the controversy, and their failure to do
so is al Agreeable surprise.
II they did not declare for the people
they at least did not declare against them,
and so the question of complete equality
remains 10 be fought out in the legislative
balls at the polls.
Conuasted with the indecsion of the ma
jority of the commission, The positive con
illusions and advice of the minority stand
out conspicuously.
Though they differ slightly as to meth
DDS, Charles G. Black and Chandler W.
Riker arrive practically at the same result.
They see no necessity for exemptions OF
evasions. They demand that all property,
whether 1t be private or railroad Of the
first or second class, shall stand equally
before the law.
Black is, as usual, convincing and ju-
dicial He skaters all of the arguments
advanced during the past year to show
difficulties in the task.

Curing Tax Strikers
Newark News.

A little experiment in the collection of
taxes, down in Pitman Grove, illustrates
the point that when property owners are
pressed to pay up they viii find a way to
do so rather than lose their property. It
appears that 1872 cottagers at this particular
campmeeting resort allowed their taxes to
fall into arrears, and their holdings were
ADVERTISED for sale But when the day of
sale arrived every man and woman who had
overlooked, this little matter came to the
collector with cash or check and not sim
gle piece of property was sold, 1t is exactly
SO with those who fail to pay their poll
taxes. Let them get it into their heads
that they don't have to pay and they will
not pay. Not one of them pays in Jersey
City, for example, for the reason that the
authorities make no effort to collect poll
taxes. Over ninety per cent. of them pay
in Elizabeth, for the reason that if they
don't pay they are arrested and marched of
to the county Jail. 1t makes all the differ
ence IN the world what kind of bringing up
taxpayers have had.

Tae twenty and more good citizens of
Williamstown have perfect right to de-
nounce the grand jury for not finding a
bill in a certain case if they did their share
in furnishing evidence on which an in
dictment could be found. There are now
so few convictions on indictments, that we
had come to the conclusion that grand
juries were too ready to find bills, basing
their findings on insufficient proofs. We
understand that in this case at least twenty
OF the twenty three members of the Grand
Inquest voted against a bill. That being
the case, it seems pretty clear that evil
dence submitted did not impress the
members as sufficient to warrant such a
finding,
Further, grand Jurors are not in posi-
tim to saw back j" Their own and the
counsel of their fellows they are oath
bound to keep secret, and it seems to us a
little harsh to thus severely eensure good
citizens who are not in position to defend
themselves

THE YouNG-DE LAY WEDDING.
Although somewhat belated. many of
our readers will be interested in the
following extracts from the Leader
and Review of onarga, Ill.,, giving de-
tails of the YouDg-De Lay wedding.
The Onarga paper says: 1t was
just five minutes past the hour
of high noon, when Rev. Lohwer came
down the south aisle and took his
position in front of the pulpit. A
moment later the bride groom and best
msu, Mr.. Harry Smoot, cane slowly
down the same aisle and stationed
themselves at the left of MIR. Lohwer
Then the brides maids, the Misses
Harriet Durham and Grace Gilbert
approached the altar from the center
aisle and passed to the right
of the officiating clergyman.
These were followed by the bride. the
maid of honor, Miss Florence De Lay
and the little flower girl, Miss Gwen
dolin Lowher, in the order named, who
filled the space between the groom and
the brides maids. while the ushers
Messrs. Earl De Lay and Earl Ander-
son passed down from the south side
and joined the bridal party on the
right. During the PROFESSIONAL Miss
Matthews played Lohengren's march.
After the ceremony the bridal party
retired to the church psrlor where
short reception was held, followed by
drive in carriages to the home Of the
bride, where wedding breakfast was
served by caterer from Kankakee.
The bride was gowned in white
satin with rose point lace bertha, tulle
veil, and carried shower bouquet of
lil1ies Of the valley.
AS the bridal party passed from the
altar to the parlor. the little flower
girl preceded, scattering flowers along
the aisle as she went. while the
organist rendered Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march.
| The bride is graduate of Grand
Prairie Seminary and also of North
western University. Neither her
father or mother is living, and for
the past year or more she has been

young woman, bright and attractive,
and blessed with an endowment of
gracious consistency which fits her for
any station in life.

BURN THE MORTGAGE.

The Jubilee service at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday morning was largely
attended, and was, oae of the happiest days
in the history of the church. Every heart
was filled with the spirit of rejoicing and
thanksgiving over the raising of the church
debt of nearly six thousand dollars.
Special music was rendered by the choir
appropriate to the happy occasion. After
his usual talk to the children. Mr.. Bryce
took for his text, Romans. 1873, "Owe no
men anything but to love one another"
AT the conclu sion of the sermon the con-
gregation sang "Blest be the Tie That
Binds Our Heart in Christian Love. y
During the song the church officers came
forward, and at it's conclusion Mr.. Sears
McHenry gave brief financial statement
regarding the indebtedness of the church,
and announced its complete liquidation,

work by giving the first two thousand dol

VERY EXCITING CHASE.
Federal, County and City officers
Round Up Alleged Disreputables
After Long Chase.

On Saturday evening occurred one
of the ruost exciting chapters In Denit
son police annals. A wagon contain
ing man and woman said to be trav-
Cling about the country for immoral
purposes, was located inside the city
limits near the McHenry farm. A
plain-clothes man was detailed to as-
certain the nature of the business in
which the wandering pair was engaged
and when he felt that he had secured
sufficient information. Marshal Malon-
ey proceeded to make the arrest. He
found himself looking down the barrel
of a wicked looking gun. The mar
shall returned to the city for reinforce
ments and posse consisting of the
United States Deputy Marshal, the
sheriff, deputy-sheriff, marshal, depu-
ty.marshal, and special officer was
soon in pursuit. For the fret time
was the automobile pressed into the
service in Dsnison as an agent of civil
cation in the suppression of crime.
George Sprecher was drafted into
the service and his auto soon speeded
the party to the place where the pair
had been. Arrived on the scene, the
birds had flown. The posse returned
to Denison and then divided. Before
long the wagon was located. the posse
reunited, and after chase which ex-
tended almost to Kenwood, the arrest
WAS made.
The preliminary hearing was set to
be held before Justice Gulick and the
announcement of the trial served to
fill the Justices Office. By agreement.
however, the case was continued until
next Monday. There is some criticism
of the officers to the effect that it would
have been better simply to have warn.
ed the couple to move on, and to have
saved the county the trouble and ex
pense of the arrest and trial. For our
part we think this ia mistaken ides
