State EQUALIZATION

The State Board of Equalization has at
last finished its work of equalizing the as
sessed value Of the taxable real estate and
personal and railroad property Of the
State. The total amount of taxable prop.
erty of the State, exclusive OF railroad
property, on the basis Of "a fair cash val
uation, is set down at 81, l76, 7Ss, l05, and
the railroad property, exclusive of the cap
ital stock, at $jg,5Ss, 1851, and still leaves
the " grade, or S3S,OOO,0OO Of railroad
property untaxed
Mai. Beardsley, our county clerk, has
to-day, received a telegram to the effect
that there is to be deducted from the as
sessed valuation of Lands in this county,
Sper cent: from Town and City Lots, 10
per cent. and from Personal Property, 3
per cent. This is somewhat different from
first reports, and makes Town lots only Il
per cent. nearer right than before

General Grant, Private Secretary and
Plenpotentiary to San Domingo, and Su-
perintendent Of Public Works for the Dis
trict of Columbia General Babcock, is in
trouble, having been detected in swindling
the Government in his estimates and meas
urements, to the tune of several hundred
thousand dOllnrs. This, in addition to the
Chorpening and Secor swindles under
Grant very nose, is not sufficient to raise
a suspicion of Grants dishonesty in the
minds Of good strait Republicans, whose
bowels no doubt yearn to vote for the Model
President for third term.

IOWA STATE ELECTION.

The State election in Iowa takes place
next Tuesday and the gazette makes a
frantic appeal to its friends, to stand By
TIE partH' That 5 all there is of it--par-
IT, Not a principle of any sort is alluded
to. Are Republicans prepared to give a
good account of themselves p Have
they determined to do what they can for
the triumph of their party2" Are they
willing to see the grand old party go
DOWN. These are questions which adj
dress themselves to all Republicans, and
which they will answer by the course which
they may take between this time and, the
closing Of the polls On election day" Let
us try, and place old Scott once more in
the van Of Republican counties"
And that is the sum and substance of
the appeal to free men by the leading Re
publican newspaper of the State of Iowa
Was ever anything more detestable and
trashy? What if the people are suffering
from railroad expressions tariff oppres-
sions, land grab expressions, salary steal
expressions, congressional subsidy oppres
sions, enormous taxes, dishonest officials
and all that? Are these any reasons why
free American citizen should consider
how he casts his vote2 What business
has he to think of his own interests anc
the interests Of the general public
Stand by the partyr' says this file lead
err of a corrupt and demoralizing ring
There are signs that thepeople don't swal
low these abjict party appeals a
readily as they did once. And there ar,
signs that they are going to act free from
lrestraint Just once and see how it will work

This celebrated trotter, we'll known here,
made his appearance at Dexter Park, Chi
cago, on Monday. The Tjmes's report of
race there thus alludes to him:
" The pleasure of the afternoon was in
witnessing the performance of the chestnut
stallion, Bashaw, Jr, This celebrated
horse has not trotted in public for two
years. In his last race, at Fredericktown,
Md, he sprained one of his fore legs, since
which time he has never been in fit condi-
ton to trot until yesterday. In the second
heat, his time was taken separately, and
the watches showed that he trotted the
mile in 2:23, which must be recorded as
good for a lame horse"

Protect Your LUNGs.-The import-
ance Of a lung protector is so great that
too much care cannot be used in selecting
the kind that is most desirable on account
of the proper care used in its construction
there being several kinds which are lung
protectors only in shape-the necessary
thicknesses or kidneys so important to
their advantage and durability, being neg
lected or entirely ignored. See advertise
