z = THE EVENING STAR. ASHINGTON. WEDNESDA’ Jaly THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent ctrenlation In Washington three times larger than that of aay other paper in thecity. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Mediam it has ne competiter. As the laws for the District are made by men who assemble from every part of the Union, and who may reasonably be supposed to have had something to do with public affairs in their own communities before coming to Congress, one may naturally expect that the District will in course of time have = model assessment system representing the gathered wisdom and experience of the whcle country. The com- plaints against the assesement now under con- sideration and the criticisms of existing law and methods indicate that the model system has not yet been evolved. There are undoubt- edly some good features in the plan proposed by Mr. Johnson of Ohio, coupled with others that seem ro bad that it is hardly probable that any Congress, however indifferent to the inter- ests of the District. will enact them into law. ‘The best features of Mr. Johnson's plan may be saved, however, and combined with the best features of some other plsn, or of the existing law, and in this way the District may secure its model system. It may be that the District will be indebted to Mr. Juhnson for keeping in ‘operation the processes which, it is hoped, will finally evolve the perfect law. Leaving out of consideration errors or supposed errors of judg- ment in valuations made by the present asses- sora, and which any three men are likely to commit, perhaps the greatest cause of com- plaint and erticism of the present assessment 4s the wide diversity of opinion as to what is the “true vaine” of property. The appeals of citizens wo indicate that the assessors had Deen overconscientious in their interpretation of their dvty under a law requiring them to ascertain the true value of real estate. To many who have giventhis subject consideration it seems that the purpose for which the assese- ment is made is to be considered, and so long as that purpose is served the public interest does not suffer, whether the assesement repre- sents the full value or two-thirds of the actual value. If the assessments were made for statistical purposes, as the censusis, it might Deanother matter. The only purpose, how- ever, is to furnish a basis for taxation, and the chief aim of the assessor should be to make valuations that would be equitable and relatively accurate when com- pared one with another. If such a plan were | possible the purpose would be served as well if | the assessments were represented in algebraic | characters, and not in dollars and cents, so long as they were relatively correct. If the assessors bad considered that the true value required by Jaw was the true value for the purposes of tax- lon, or # truthful statement of relative values, | it ig probable every public interest would Have be&n as well served as under any other defini- | aloss—a loss to him, » gain to you. , Fassiox Nore Frou Pans “*Teanonly repeat with emphasis what I before wrote: Point d'Erelande Laces are tobe au fait for the coming autumm, the corvest widthe being rom 50 20 inches.” menthe sines thet prompted the great purchase of Choice Potnt 4° Irelande Laces, which, being retailed st@Bc. 8 yard, caused widespread excitement, not | lees among the public than merchants. ‘Now that the rumor of the coming automn fashion of ‘two months ago has developed into fact beyond dis- Pute we need toremind youthat but » few hundred yards of thove Laces are left of the thousands, and | hate new supply of tdentical styles cannet bese cured toretati at less than G1, $1.96, $1.48, $1.76 and $1.98 6 yard. “Taz Scaner Lerrzs,- 7c. > conts cach or four for cents is the Palais Royal price fer one thousand novels by popular authors; 10 ‘cents, or six for 50 cents for the usual 250. editions.

It seems desirable that in any new legisla tion on the subject the intent of Congress as to | valuations should be so exactly expressed that | there may be no danger of great and sudden | changes in valuations due to the varying ideas | of assessors as to whether “true value” means | the market price or the price that might be ob- | tained ata forced sale under adverse eircum-| stances, or a sale under favorable circum- stances, or a sale on the installment plan, or | merely the relative value. ——— ‘The Pennsylvania railroad, besides occupy- ing and obstructing streets and public squares of the city, seems to maintain a very effective | system of obstruction in the way of legislation for the District. Plans are now being considered | by which it is hoped the condition of the rail- roaded streets will be bettered. What course ean be taken to relieve the city of the other railroad evil,in the halls of Congress, is be-| coming a matter for serious consideration, and | the sitnation, unless speedily improved, will | call for vigorous action of some sort. When the | Pennsylvania railroad, which has #0 long en- Joyed privileges of » most extraordinary cha:- acter in the city streets, and been almost absolutely regardless of the rights of citizeus, when they were not in line with the company’s interest, appears in Congress, through ite representatives, to defeat by any means legislation according right of way to a new railroad seeking entrance into the Dis- trict, there is certainly good ground for public indignation. When, as in the present case, a railroad corporation which has for years blocked the etreets and ocenpied the public and which now seeks new and valuable grants, under Pretense of depressing tracks and making im> provements that rightfully the company should ‘be compelled to make without compensation, ‘opposes legislation that offers to serve the city’ interest by bringing to it a new line of railway, and only because it does not serve the interest of the corporation, the attitute of that corpora- tion, mildly described, is one of insolence. ‘The citizens of Washington ask of Congress that in considering such a bill as that providing for the entrance of the Norfolk and Western rail- road into the city, every clause be carefully scrutinized with a view to securing the best safeguards against an extension and pei tion of the railroad evils from which the has suffered so much, but they view with friend- lines any enterprise which like this one prom- fees to benefit the city, and will not without Protest see it throttied by a corporation against ‘which the city already has so many grievances. —_++2—__— It ie bad about the dead failure of the peach ¢rop. In s matter of this kind the loss is felt more acutely by the growers, but the public is becoming more and mere, under the guidance of right instincts and sound eense, a fruit using ne, and, therefore, the shortness of the crop is a thing of wide concern. The peach failure is the more deeply felt because the berry crops have cither been shortened or are of inferior quality. That prince among succulents, the raspberry, has shown a disposition under the dry conditions to run to seed. The apricot is ‘taking the place of the failing peach the present seascn—a very fair substitute.
