Bulls.

A London review has been hunting
the contemporary English bull. 1t pre-
sents O large batch each week, mostly
caught in the well stocked native press.
Glancing over these specimens we are
impressed once more by the extraor-
dinary superiority Of the Irish to the
English and, so far as we know, to every
other kind Of bull. The comparatively
modern addition OF Irish as f1xed
epithet to the very old word "bull' is
due, of course, to general recognition
OF the excellence Of the Irish breed,
tust as the French now call all hams
ajembons d'York." Ireland doesn't
produce moro bulls than other coun-
uries, fewer perhaps; but 1t produces
better bulls. The reason Of their truly
remarkable virtue Il often overlooked.
Even the learned Edgeworth essay
goes astray about 1t. Since II IL obvi-
Gus that Irish bulls do not, like many
others, result from stupidity, 1t has been
usual to try TO explain them by some
thing in itself good, the gift Of the
gab,' Irish eloquenoe being supposed to
pour the ideas out so rapidly that they
get mixed up. Now hurried utteranoe
would explain largo number Of Eng

High Taxes and Shifting Trade
Centres.

The Chamber of Commerce last Thurs
day authorized its finance, committee
to undertake an investigation Of the
financial condition of the city. The
preamble to the resolution asserted
that the business interests of the city
are seriously affected and its future
is menaced by the enormous and con-
stant growth of the tax levy and the
bonded debt In the case of members
Of the Chamber Of Commerce this asser-
ton is by no means an impersonal
generality. Most wholesale merchants
own their own premises or occupy
them under leases which require tenants
to pay the taxes. Now, realty in the
wholesale district centring in Broad
way below Fourteenth street is admit
tedly overtaxed, with the result that
the more mobile kinds of trade are
being driven out. Property values
are declining and the Tax Department
has found itself obliged to reduce assess
ments there, notably in Broadway.
High taxes seriously affect the busi-
ness interests of this town not only by
lowering the profits Of commerce but
by inducing a premature decay Of es-
tablished trade centres. They exert a
pressure which stimulates building ac-
tivity on cheap land while forcing emf
grafton from the more expensive sites
already in use. They are a main cause
of the ceaseless shifting of trade cen

ment which, though yielding speculative
profits in the newer locations, invari.
ably produces heavy depreciation ol

cal houses that bought sites below
Fourteenth street ten or twelve years
ago are already compelled by an arti-
l tfcially accelerated uptown migration
OF trade TO sell at loss and to buy new
sites at inflated prices.
The unwholesome stimulation oi
building activity caused by excessive
taxation is just now conspicuously ap-
parent. It is observed in outlying resi-
dence areas as well as in the core oi
Manhattan, Despite the loss of tenants
through'emigration of Italian and othel
foreign workingmen after the panic
and despite the community's diminished
purchasing power after a year of indus

We look back upon the roseate sug-

navy was to be reorganized. A COM
mission of impartial but intelligent
and strenuous men, with the Hon.
ELIHU Roof at the head, was to take
the Transformation scene in charge.
Most of the findings of the Newport
conference had been released, and en-
Iightened discussion was slowly trans
lating them for popular consumption,
It began to look as though we were TO
have a modern and progressive equip
ment, with American initiative, mili-
tary efficiency and much needed
economical coordination OF the old
wasteful, easy going methods Of the
staff bureaus forever buried under
the march OF reform. The promise
of fair things did not materialize, how
ever. The Root dispensation went into
sudden occultation, the curtain rose
upon NEwBERRY supreme and the old
order closing up, more serried and more
formidable than ever. Two boards,
useless perhaps and impotent certainly,
are to be retained and fortified. "Ad-
miral' Caps is to be added to the list
of GEORGE DEwEY's coadjutors and
advisers. The line officers have been
securely silenced, and away we go upon
the same old track. beautified somewhat
perhaps, but practically unchanged,
with CAPPs doing all the conversation

TIE Seeming Decadence Of the Navy.
Apparently our first guess as to the
purpose Of that muzzling order from
the President was correct. 1t has had
the effect Of sealing the lips Of naval
6licers generally. They will not talk,
willlnot write for publication. Every
aspect of the question has been retired
from public observation-except the
department view-and nobody can
now hear word Of comment, assevera-
tion, or argument from any quarter
but one.
As we have already shown, the whole
outside world knows everything about
our ships, their ornaments &c. and
only Congress and the American people
are left in ignorance. They have the
bcyt right to know the truth, but it is
from them that the truth is to be with
