nnInnnr. PnRgURY oR eRAFT.

A recent transaction in New York points unmistskably to one of three thinRs: Either the officials of that city are easy victims or they are con sunmate grafters. or else there are some superb tax dodgers fin Manhat- tan. The transaction was the pur- chase by the city of bunch of ninety seven lots in the Bronx section, for which more than a quarter of a mill ion dollars was paid. An investigation of the tax records showed that this property had been given in for taxa tion at s4.soo. In other words. the city paid in the neighborhood of sixty times as much for the property az It's owner had been rating 1t for taxa tion.
 Now. there are some conclusions fin this connection which cannot be avoid ed. If the property is worth what the city paid for it. then 1t is plain that the tax officers were either grossly negligent or shamefuliy criminal, per haps a little of both. They had the opportunity to know what the lots were worth. and if they allowed them as- sessed at about one-sixtieth of their value 1t must be evident that the cffi- ciaIs must have been paid literally to accept a false assessment.
 That is one side of 1t. and the other Is no less discreditable. If the prop erty was worth oHly the amount for which tt vas assessed foe taxation there is no getting around ths tr'p"i Q ition that the city officials were paid the quarter million ard Tore fer II are grafta-s on a liberll soa.e. If they paid that rnuch--we ma" TesS assured that a satisfactory amount of the to- tai sum stuck to their O @I. fingers

MONDAY. MARCH 50. Isos.
r.s.- AMERICAN HanrE.

Ths New Haven Revister attributes the dangerous illness of Governor Guild. # Massachusetts. 10 what it calls "ths fatal American banauet hae- nn Tn short. the Governor brought on the attack by too free indulgence at the festive board--not that he drank to excess. as we understand 1t. but that he attended too many banouets ana partook too freely of the rich vi- ands usually considered appropriate on such occasions.
 No one we suppose will doubt the evil resulting from excessive drink ing of liquors. but too little attend ancs Is given to the dangers resulting from overeating. The human digestive organs are wonderful in their adapta- bility and endurance but there's lim- it even to what they can stand. and people pass that limit oftener than is generally known. It is not alwavs because they are gluttons. or that they overeat from choice. but because of that American habit.
 We don't know how 1t is in other lands but in this country the habit is a confirmed one. and it is difficult to eIude 1t. when public men assem- ble in almost any capacity there must usually be a pretentiOus banquet where the table literally groans under the foods, many of them rich and indiges- tible, but there's danger even If every thing on the board should be selected with a view of providing a safe and heaIthful meal. A man on an occasion of this kind cannot offend hts fellow diners by eating the frugal and simple meal that he feels would be best for him and then leave the table. or be- come a silent spectator during the two or three hours that the banquet may last. The result Is that in many cases a man eats too much and knows 1t at the time, and eats things that he khows are hurtful-all because he doesn't care to pc oiHeteht FOM she others. The Register puts it pretty strongly when 1t says;
 Let those who haven't the sense to stop keep up the game if they Will may we not at least show our appre- eiation of our public men by sparing them. They are willing to come and talk to us. In so far as their time will allow, when we ask them, but spare them the agony of being obliged to eat.
 Well. possibly we do not obliKe them to eat, but fashion does. No man who accepts an invitation to a public din ner cares to sit like deaths head at a feast. so he allows his deference to the fashion to overcome his judgment ''The fatal American habit" is not such a bad term.

A cnnAT oprNroN.

The opinion of Judge Jones in what may be generally termed the railroad cases is without doubt one of the ablest ever put forth in any case in this country. While It was rendered after that of the su- prems Court of the United States in the Minnesots ana North Carolina cases. It was ready for promuisation before that epoch making" pronounce mert.
 It is printed in full in The Adver- tiser ftoday and notwith thstanding its length 1t should be read and studied by every man in Alabama. There has been so much transformation spread before the people from stump and press that it Is wen for those who really desire information to give this great paper careful and earnest att tention for many misconceptions will be removed.
 Many statements made with posi- tive air by those who have stood be- hind the legislation which is set aside are proven. to say the least. to be in- correct by Judge Jones unanswerable array of logic and precedent. At another time we will discuss same of the main features of the opinion and simply at this time urge upon our readers the importance oi reading and studying this great opin- lon.

His early centures on the stage were not highly successful. He returned to New York and finally succeeded in becom- ing member of the McCaull Opera Company, then playing at the old Mao ison Square theater. The rising come- dian scored hls first success In the American version of the German comic opera. .The Black Hussar." He fol- lowed this with other comic parts Tn sBoccaccio," ''Fatinitza," Glover" " .'The Beggar Student" etc. Tn "Falka' he scored even a greater success than In "The Black Hussar." and 1t was not long before his career as a stellar att traction began.

A Sad Spectacle.


 Lawyers say that the newspaper re- ports of the decisions are too meagre for one to risk an opinion as to their effect upon the Alabama statutes. Gov- ernor Conner and Attorney General Garber are of the opinion that the de- fects in the statutes passed on by the Supreme Court are not to be found in the Alabama statutes = Birmingham News.
 On the contrary the Alabama statutes contain the very defects of the Min nesota statutes, from which they were copied and they are killed as dead as Hector by the Supreme Court of the land. from which there is no appeal Lieutenant Governor Gray, our me too" will please take notice that Bus teed escaped impeachment by resign. ing. while Judge Jones is completely vindicated. By the way what is the use of an obstreperous Lieutenant Gov. ernor? Let him be abolished and fol low the Conner statutes to the grave The Herald is sorry for Attorney Gen, eral Garber. He Is a lawyer and should know better. A lawyer who holds or to Corners coat-tail is sad spectacle for the gods.
