York Legislature in Jtslong session Just cuncluded was a reform of the system of taxation. The plan adopted in 1880 was to tnisa the State revenue mainly from taxes on corporations, and to Jeaye other forms of property to a great extent free for the pur- poses of local taxation, With this object in view nn act was passed taxing fire and ina- rina insurance companies, telegraph, rail- road, express, steamboat, ferry, canal, and other transportation companies. A special ict subjected Ife-Insurance companies to taxation. ‘Tho advantage of this plan was thought to be that, as far as it wont, it re- Neyved the people from possible Irregularities of taxation for State purposes, If the money raleed by real ond porsona! property taxes were all locally expended the chief mo- tive for undervaluations would be gone, ‘The Legislature Just adjourned was so well: pleased with the operation of the awa of 1880 that an attempt was made to extend them in the samo ral dfrection, They proposed to tax brolceFs’ sales, savings banks, trust-mortgage bonds, colinterat inheritances, the manifacture and sale of liquors, and dealers in tobacco. A lurge partof this plan, however, fell through. ‘The brokers bill, snvings-banks bill, Hquor and tobacco tax bills falled. Only the bills for the taxation of corporation trust-mortgages—an economt- cally unsound mensure—and the. bill taxing collateral Inheritauces were pnssed. If the whole plan had been carried out it is esti- mated that the taxes contemplated would have yielded 1 revenue of $6,000,000, But owing to the fallure of most of the scheme it will be necessary for a time to derive a portion of the State revenue from real and personal property taxes ns before, AUXILIARY WATER-WORKS. Ono of the clty newspapers {3 6o anxlous to object to Tue ‘Trinune’s- suggestion for the erection of auxiliary water-works (for no better reason than because ‘Tire Tin UNE proposes It) that the project is repre- Rented ag being (1) “tho old schemo with a yarlation,” or an attempt to give private capitalisia an monopoly of the service, and (2) so fayorablo In its terms to tie city that private capitalists will not put thelr money into it. ‘fhe contradiction Is so palpable that it completely exposes the animus which prompts the narrow-minded criticism, If tt benscheme to place the control of water- works in the hanis of priyate parties, it fs certainly not Hable to the objection that pri- vate capital will not go into it, If It be so favorable to the city that Jt will not at- tract the investinent of private capital, it is certainly not open to the objuction thar It will glvo private parties a monopoly of the water-service, The carping, envious concern whieh has been criticising this scheme has wound Itself up so absurdly that Its readors are all Inugh- lng at it, : ‘The suggestion which THE THOCNE has minds to overcome the obstacles Jn the way of issuing bonds, or building auxiliary water- works by taxation, is perfectly simple, It is proposed that n company af private capital- {sts shall advance the necessgry funds, and that the elty shall construct aud operate the works, paying the .company for a term of Years an anuunt rental equal toa fulr Inter est on the money Invested, and buying the works at the end of that.term, not at thelr original cost, but at an appralsed valuation: which shat! allow for wear andtear, ‘This plan will guarantee the private company a falr Interest on ite Inyeatment, but It will re- tain fur the city full control over the wates- service and the rates to be charged to the can- sumera, i ‘Thero $a en to belleve that capital would bo offered for such an Inyostment us readily as If tho olty wero. authorized to plucu bonds upon the market.

Tho objectors to this schame have falted to polnt out any legal or economle retsons why it should not be adopted, and also faited to sugerest any better plan for seeuring high- pressure auxiliary water-works, the need of which fs conceded by everybody. Its folly to, talk of Jimiting to $600,000 the cost of works which shall be required to furnish a strong aud high pressure of water forall manner of hydraulic purposes within the business district, and {t 1s Impracticable to undertake the expenditure of a couple of millions out of current taxation whieh al- ready reaches the 2 per cent authorized by law. But if anybouy can suggest a better or more practicable plan for constructing auxiliary water-works under tho existing conditions, ‘Tus Trmune will gladly help to bring it to the attention of the public and the city authorities. _———— THE THEORY OF DR, WEIBSE, Dr. Bliss says “no further. Information has been obtained as to the location of the ball” in the President’s body, Le “still believes ft to bo lodged in the anterior wall of the abdomen in front of the hip?” It will bo observed that Dr. Bliss does not now express the opinion that the ball passed through the liver or entered the perltonoyim,—tho mom- brane or ning of the Internal surface of the abdomen, In answer to questions, Drv Ham- Mton sald Tuesday, “It fs doubtful whether the ball entered the perltonoum”; “Ido not | think It entored the Iver.” : tig at Jeast probable that Dr. Inmilton ehas adopted the: theory advanced by Dr. Welsse, Professor of Practical Surgery and Anatomy In the Medical Department of the University of the City of New York, Soon after the wounding of the President Dr. Welsao formed, tn his own tind, u theory as to the courso and lodgment of tho ball ad- verse to that established by the diagnosis of the attending surgeons. With. the view of verifying his theory he entered upon a series of elaborate anatumicnl exporliments, ‘The result of those experiments was given to the public In the seculnr journals, but tt remajned for tho Medical Journal of New York to givo the detalls of the curlous In- vostigation and analysis In papor by Dr. Wolsso himeelf, Itappears that Dr. Mamil- ton took a deep interest in the anutomical ox- periments of the Professor, Indeed, after the first experiment Dr. Welsso gained such confidence In the verity of Iiis theory that he was able to induce Dr, Hamilton to bo pres-. entatasecond or repetition of the first ex- periment. ‘This secont experlinent oceurred on the’ 8th Inst, and on the Lith Inst, Dr. Hamilton wrote Dr. Welsse’ in apprayl thereof, but without committing hiuvelf to the thedry advanced, Doubtless thts letter was Inspired by the Mppant criticism to which Dr, Welsse was subjected, for in tho letter Dr, I[nunilton says; “I hava from the frat sought to encourage you.

Following this line with the scalpel and his fingers, he tocates the missiic inthe right {lnc fossa,—the cavity between the front of the hip-bone and the ribs. Dr, Welssa ninkes some very acute observa- tions in regard to the Prealdent’s physique, deduelng therefrom furthor conclusions in support of hts theory. Ina word, tt Is avi- dently the Doctor's opinion that the Prest- dent's stout figure—“the mass of - fat, fram one and a halt to two Inches thick, lo- ented on the anterlor surface of the pos- terior portion of the trausyorsalls muscle and the quadratus lumboram muscle?— served as a protection to the vital organs, and so porhays saved lls life, Dr. Welsse's theory 1s certainly very in- kenlous, not to say plausible, The ardor and good faith with which he appears to have entered upon Inborious and palnstak- ing experiments with n view to its demon- stration are creditable to Ili and to the pro- fession ot surgery, and It seams by no imeans improbable that Dr. Uamilton has to a de- ate adopted his views. THE DECLINE OF STOOKS. With more or Jess vaciligtion and Irrogy- larity the tendency of rallroad and other qvotuble stocks continues to ve downward, notwithstanding the lurge decline already noted. ‘The publication of the statistics gath- ered by Poor for the year 1880 aud thelrfayor- able comparisons in most respects with the railroad business of the provious year ought to hava revived confidence ninong the “vnlls? toa certain extent.» The tinproved condition of the President and tha hopes now freely entertained for his recovery ought to haya had tho same effect, for It was the re- port of his assasination that gave the first shock to the market, But there is evidently Ayeneral impression that the stocks have becn pushed too high, and there are no signs in the lmnedinte future to encourage recovery. ‘Yo show how decided the downward move- sient has been, we print below a table pro: pared by the New Yorke Mfatl, which shows the decline from, the lighest figures. dunng the Inst two nonthg.on July 25: ri Invcatment stocks.
