srGyBoARD TAXATION IN New JERSEY.

We observe with much satisfaction and en-
oouragement that the commendable movement
for equal taxation" which for several wears
has been diligently pushed in New Jersey has
al last got as far as the huge advertising sign
boards which SO grossly disfgure much of the
landscape OF that state especially along the
lines OF railroads. The township of South
Brunswick IS 10 he credited with taking the
Initiative, and the State Board of Equalization
of Taxes Is to be cordially thanked for support
ing its efforts I'm a most effective way.
II happened after this fashion: The local tax
assessors In South Brunswick shrewdIy reck-
oned that if It worth while for q corpora
ton 70 go into the business of putting I'D vast
hoardings for the exploitation of whskeys cor
sets and patent medicines it would he only
fair for it 10 pay taxes upon its property SO
they assessed the signboards In that township
at $1,000. The concern which had put the signs
up objected and made appeal to the State
Equalization Board 10 have the assessment set
aside The board considered the case and came
to the conclusion that the signboards were per-
sonai property and ought To be taxed the same
os any other personal property The signboard
people rejoined that they had hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars invested in signs throughout
the state, and taxation of them all would drive
them out of business. To this the board replied
that lots Of people would be glad to see the sign
boards disappear. Finally the signboard people
declared that. even if they were subject to
some taxation, the assessment against them
was too high. for ii was much higher than that
against Others in the same business. To that
the board replied, not by ordering their assess
ment TO be reduced. but by ordering the other
assessments to be Increased up TO the same
standard.
Tic case will OF course be carried TO the
courts, and probably 10 thu highest court in tho
state There may be some question whether
the people who put up the sgnboards or the
ianoowners who rent them laD4 for the pur-
pose should pay the taxes. But there can, we
should say, be no doubt that business which

PREACHER AND PRIEST.

The "open pulpit" rule which was adopted the
other day by the General Convention OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church is TO be welcomed
it doubtless will be widely, both within and
without that particular communiOn-as an i'm
portant recognition of the distinction between
essentials and non-essentials, and thus as lead
ing toward increased interdenominational free
dom and comfy without in the least surrender
ing the fundamental principles of denomina-
tiOnal individuality. 1t practically amounts to
this. that while ministrations at the altar Of
the Church will, as hitherto be strictly confined
TO the ordained clergy of that denomination the
pulpit will be open TO any preacher of any de-
nomination, even to any layman, who may be
approved by the Bishop Of the diocese as fit
person to address a Christian congregation.
In this there is q desirable discrimination be-
tween the preacher and the priest, between the
man who simply reads or speaks discourse to
the people, which they free to receive ac-
cording to their own intellectual Judgment and
the man who administers the sacraments and
performs the hlerophantic functions of the
Church. Between the two the difference IS
great and real and should be marked In the
Protestant Episcopal Church there has probably
been something of a tendency 10 lose sight of

4ER0yAUT1o Fun AND PROGRESS.

Popular interest In the voyage of Captain
Chandler and Mr. Mccoy and in the intcrna-
tionaI contest which is expected to begin to-
morrow at St Louis springs largely from the
comparative novelty Of such sport in the United
States Until within the last two or three years
Americans have remained proof against infec-
tion from France. Even now the number Of per
sons who give themselves to this sort OF amuse
ment Is small, but that very fact increases the
attention which is directed to their ventures by
the public. Moreover, indulgence is attended
with Just enough risk TO make the fate Of devO-
tees more or less uncertain, and curiosity has
been further enhanced by the possibility that
some modern aeronaut might match or surpass
the performance OF John Wise, who In 1889
traversed distance OF 1.15O miles.
Still. It must be confessed that drifting in the
air no more represents true navigation than the
drifting of an Oarless boat on a river does. A
certain degree OF skill is required, to be sure. TO
make an ascent and descent without accident.
Careful inquiry and a little calculation are es-
sential to success in procuring balloon suited
to long trips. Familiarity with the strength and
direction of the atmospheric currents at various
elevations is desirable, If not absolutely neces-
sary TO achieving new records. The element OF
luck. however. largely dictates the result of
floating helplessly.
Real progress in aeronautics may be said to
date from 1884. In that year Krebs and Renard,
On duty at the French military balloon station,
made the first flight In airship the direction
of which under control These pioneers re-
lied for motive power on a storage battery,
whereas their successors have employed gas
motors instead, but Krebs and Renard actually
propelled and steered their craft. They also
gave to their gas bag the shape of a cigar, and
thus taught such apt imitators as SantOs-Du-
mont and Won Zeppelin how best TO minimize
atmospheric friction and resistance when NOV
ing horizontally. For most of the developments
| In aerial navigation which are outlined in an
| other section of to-day's Tribune the world is
| indebted to the ingenuity and persistence of the

Ought one always to tell the truth the whole
truth and nothing but the truth? This vener-
able question, which has never been easy 70
answer. has just been made still more difficult
by the sad experience OF a shoplifter. The lady.
after being convicted Of certain depredations.
stood up before Judge Grain in General Sessions
10 receive sentence. The judge wanted 70 give
the lady every possible chance TO improve. so he
committed her to the Bedford Reformatory. But
the honest woman confessed to thirty-two years.
and. this age being above the reformatory limit.
the Judge was forced TO send her TO Auburn for
two years Now let the moralists rage over the
problem whether the telling OF truth where
fiction is expected and authorized by the best
usage should be penalized by two years IN
prison and whether ;hs lady acted unwisely.

THE GEORGIgS SERVICE

The delegates to the Juneau conven- tion would have been unable to reach that city had they relied On the Georgia 70 take them. After being given as surance that that vessel. would be in commission 10 take them there the del sgases did nothing farther in the matter and at the last minute-on Sat- urdsy-it was given out by the man agement of the boat at Juneau, that she would not make the trip. Had not Agent Frank Stuart, of the Paci 6c Coast Steamship company come to their rescue, by getting the Humboldt to make 6 quick trip up, the delegates would have been forced to remain houe- the representatives of this city at the territorial convention would have been cutoff. In this connection it is but proper to say that the miserable man ugemsns of the Georgia, which has been almost uncomfortable for several months, is growing worse. Utterly dis regardless Ot dates, the management sends out the vessel when 1t feels so Inclined. Should one wish to know anything about her movements, 1t is necessary to send private cables to get the information from Juneau. The Georgia has mail couract, which brings her in something over s2O,OOO a year, ard, could she be relied upon, her passenger and height traffic would make money for the ship, but so neg llgent has become the management that the public are becoming afraid to rely upon 1t.
 The local agent here is iu no manner to blanche is hard pressed at all times In making excuses. Itis certainly not the fault of Captain ThorotOn and his officers anl crew-they do their full share and are we'll liked by everyone who palronize the boat. IL is the Ju- nssu management that is bringing the vessel into disrepute, and unless the head of the concern makes 90 improve meut at once, the Georgia may be blaCklissed entirely by thetraveling and shipping public shortly.

Under the heading "obltuay Notice" the soldIer-EdltOr of the Fort Seward Musheg hands the following tribute to EF. W. LOwls Of this city;
 ''The attempt of a certain resident of skagway, Alaska, to stem the flow of interesting dope from time to time emerging from our esteemed cOmtem- pOrary The Daily Alaskan, has met with an unexpected demise. 1n this case 1t is the undertaker's turn to give vent to the saline tear instead of in wsrdly chuckliug at the sight of a neighbOrlug corpse. Physical hind sight would be an attribute most desir- able to animate creatures, be they man or beast. But psychological retrOspec- tIOu, reality to all Of us. must at times make some human beings feel as though they were related to the lOnR-eared species of the brute creation. The man or woman who attempts to monkey with the 'Ouzz-saw' of the press by dic- .ating what they shall or shall not print had better be encased in a coat-Of- mail. The gauntlet thrown down in such a case would be of more service on the hand of the gallant knight who attempts to cross spears with the pen. cil-pushers of the modern newspaper. We are DO longer gropinR through the caverns of the Dark Ages, but move onward in the daylight Of progression, ieariur not the bugaboOs set up by in experienced agents of commercial con- csrns, whose methods of retaliation at times seem more puerile than manly"
