State Tax and Town Grand Lists.
(Waterbury Republican.)
If the General Assembly should impose
astetctaxhvhich it probably will not
do) towns whose property is assessed at
ltafair, market value, as the law requires
wouldhave to pay a penalty for their
cocceisntionencee. They might extract
a sunbeam or two of comfort from the
dogma that virtue is its own reward.
Only a few towns list taxable property at
“actual value,end in other towns all
sorts of standards prevail. In some
placutheaeeeseed value is only a heg-
gerdly third of. the real value, and of
courseafictitlonelv small grand list in
any town is equivalent to the payment of
aflctitiously email county or state tax.
This sort of thing h better calculated to
promote one'e prosperity in this world
than the next. Don't levy a state tax.

Significant of one of the greatest in-
dustrial changes in the past 50 years
was the recent appearance before the

legislature of a delegation trout tho

England railway. Tho ruprm-ntatiws
of those longdistanco strain roads ap-
peared before thr- munnittavo to protest
agaith the granting of any more char-
ters to trolley roads on lines paralleling
their own.
They said the cheap and convenient
little trolley was destroying their traffic
between stations. Tin-y guru figures
showing the injury that had lwon
wrought by the construction of trolh-y
lines. Between Danlinry and llctlwl the
steam roads had lost 75 per cent of all
their business. ill-.twm-u Nauuatuvk and
Waterbury they wore losing $300 a
month. Front Moridcn to Yitlt-sville 00
per cent of their former passenger trade
had gone to tho trolley. Those are only
a few of the instances they cited.
This is very unfortunate for the steam
railroads that have already encountered
such serious losses dump; the past year.
not it will do them no good to try to
stop the trolley lllll'll. The only pilt'ltilbltl
relief for them is to form companies of
their own and build the trolley them-
selves, thus ftirestulling tho rivalry.
The United States agricultural de-

JUSTICE hfll'l'li‘S REWARD.
A Correspondent Tells of lemursef ea
Unwrap-lone Political Combination.
Editor of the Sentinel: Can you tell
why it isthat our city cases are all
brought before Justice Smith? The last
oficisl act relative to the matter, if i re-
member rightly, was a vote of the Coun-
oil to have the city cases brought before
Justice Barrett. if any other official di-
rection has been given, it has not been
made public. I think our city attorney
is on record as endorsing Justice Barrett
and commending his ability and integ-
rity. Now, some one must have as-
sumed authority to change the order of
the Council, for Justice Barrett is en-
tlrely ignored. Can you tell me who it
is? The Council. it seems to me, is the
proper authority in this matter.
Since the disgraceful proceedings rela
tive to the trial’ of Landlord Waltz it
must be patent to our Council that Jus-
tice Smith is not c impotent to cope with
unscrupulous lawyers. i have never
hesrda word against Justice Barrett.
Tobeeure, he is a Democrat, but our
courts ought not to be political machines
in any sense. In fact the justice system
is constructed to make it nonpartisan.
This question may also be in order:
Why isit that all the city business is
practically turned over toOlllcer lreland':
We have pilicemen who heretofore have
done this work and the city got the bene-
lit of the fees. Why the change? is
some one diverting the funds for
personal or political purposes? Ugly
rumors and questionable circumstances
in local politics last fall aroused a suspic-
ion that an unscrupulous political com-
bination was formed to control our city
afleire. Justice Smith was one of the
Republican converts. He was im-
mediately rewarded by two politi-
cal positions. file being accorded the
honors and emoluments of trying juetme
has the appearance of political reward.
Whether this be true or not. he certainly
has not the qualifications for a trying
Justice. The Council has not designated '
him for city csese.,but some one else has.
Therefore, in justice to the city, in fair-
uses to all parties. and as a matter of
duty, the Council should investigate this
t iiug.
Recent events connected with our city
justice proceedings excite the suspicion
that lawyers are doing all they use to
create 1 prejudice acelnst the system
which they are endeavoring to supplant
b one in which they will have entire
trol. If they will resort to such con-
temptible methods to secure the court.
what would such a court be?
if you can give any information on the
matters! have referred to it would be
deemed a great favor by.
Yours truly.
Elucmrv.
[We think the bsetwey for "8tncerlty”
to obtain the information he desires, and
to ascertain why Justice Barrett is prsco
