STATE BONDS,

To the Editor of the Democrat:
You are accused Of giving the use of your
paper to the propagation Of reputation ideas.
You have kindly given the use OF your col
umns to the people, that their views might
appear In print and be read. That the views
OF the people are not all alike is nothing
strange, and that some Of them talk repuda-
ton should be expected, and that ysu might
agree, II not in whole at least In part with
the people should not appear inhuman. And
1t does not appear inhuman but to those who.
having invested their hearts In their bonds
have ceased to have heart of their own II
they have laid up where the rust and moth
cOnSumeth, that iS their business but
when they would consume the hearts and
happiness OF this people, then it becomes the
business OF all honest men, and especially of
the people of this State to say we will carry
the Keys awhile. They should then cast the
keys into the river and turn the safe over To
the robbers, while they attend to their bust
ness OF making new cOnstitution. a new gov
ernment and new bank for the protection OF
their peace, prosperity and treasure. Let the
innocent third parties bear in mind that the
original owners received one-tenth. one-fifth
one-fourth and one-third of the face value
OF the promise TO pay, fer work actually
done, and that the specuLntor and
innocent third has doubled his money with
out risk or labor, and is now willing to sell aft
a fair profit, at fourth, a third and a hall.
Pick out the legitimate debt indeed; it is ali a
fraud and the sooner the people strange it
the sooner will they prosper. 1t seems to me
tRaI NE Whole system Of bonds as means
OF traffic and speculation should be abrogated
From the day that our Supreme Court Of the
United States, in the case Of Briscoe VS.. Bank
Of Kentucky, sanctioned bonds, to the present
time, our country has been cursed by the
tin1 incident to gambling and specula-
blDH. Say WHAT Won will in ha Errb+
OF experience and facts the rings and
monopolles Of to-day are flooding the Country
with money or substitute not dreamed Of
by the fathers and trainers OF our republican
system.

Business First.

Now that the elections are over the
most important and best thing for the
country is for every man to attend to
his business. That this is neglected
during times of political excitement
and elections there can be no doubt,
and the result has been that not only
particular persons suffer in their par
ticular business, but the country suf-
fers as well. In the present state OF
affairs nothing could happen that
would be more injurious to the revival
of business and good times than an
other exciting election, and hence 1t IS
that we look with kind of dread on
the SO early discussion of candidates
for the next Presidency. 1t cannot be
long at best until the people are again
convulsed with the issues and demands
of the election of next year, and if
that expected great contest is to begin
now and be kept up nothing VIII De
more damaging to the business inter-
ests of all We seem to go from one
contest right into another, and OF
course during these excitements busi-
ness must suffer. Hopes are held out
and promises of better times always
made by all parties, during elections,
and many people do not get time ap-
parently to see them fulfilled. Elec-
tions perhaps come too frequently in
this country, as one is scarcely over
until another is commenced, and hence
questions remain unsettled, or are so
continually agitated as to keep busi-
ness unsettled. Just now the remedy
is, for all to turn their attention to a
revival of business interests, for as
soon as we enter the whirlpool OF
another excitement everything will
again come to standstill until it is

thority. The fact is that | have not
been disturbing myself about anything
since l went away. Any plans made
for the future for me, are without con-
sultation with me-"
Grant further said that he would
spend two days in Cincinnati some
time after December Sth, when he
starts East. He gave it as his opin-
ion that New York, San Francisco
and Chicago, are the three greatest
metropolitan cities of America.

THE time is approaching when ten
ants will make arrangements for the
use Of a property during the coming
year. A good price is willingly paid
for good property. When the house
is in good repair and the place favora-
bly, located, there is no trouble in get
ing fair rent. A great difficulty
here is, that people who have houses
to rent all demand about the same
price, no regard being paid by the
owner to the condition or location Of
the premises. Rents are not higher
here than in other towns Of this size,
and very few, If any, houses are stand
ing idle, but the houses generally that
are offered for rent, were built many
years ago, and are without many Of
the conveniences found in houses late
ly built. If owners would incur the

The New York Result.

NEW York, Nov. 13.-The result IN
New York is no longer in doubt. Re
turns from all but two counties, as
returned by the county canvassers,
show that Mr.. Cornell, Republican,
has majority of 40,172; Hoskins,
Republican, Lieutenant Governor,
l,l3O majority; Carr, Republican, Sec
retary Of State, AL; Wadsworth,
Republican, Controller, 1853; Ward,
Republican, Attorney General, 1903;
Wendell, Republican, Treasurer, 1851
Seymour, Democrat, Engineer, 1868;
John KelIy's vote, TAI. There are
many complaints of unfair count in the
rural districts. The returns have dis
closed many Irregularities, but the
majorities are 80 large that the general
result is not likely to be affected by
changes made in consequence Of irreg-
ularities. Some votes have been thrown
aside because Of wrong spelling or use
Of wrong initial, which would doubt
less be restored were the count close.
Thus Mr.. Soule loses 1900 votes in
one county, as his ballots were printed
for Engineer, instead Of for Engineer
and Surveyor.

The Law to Be Enforced.

Now that the fall elections are
over, the assessors Of the various dis
tricts will proceed to make up their
triennial valuation Of real estate and
personal property. The assessors this
year will make valuation on all stocks,
bonds, mortgages, notes, judgments,
etc. This il in accordance with the
law Of 1846, which up to this time has
practically been dead letter in this
State, although it has been in force in
New York State for some years.
Blanks will be furnished to every citi-
zen, on which he will be required to
make q list under oath, Of his personal
property besides stocks, bonds, etc, and
from these lists the assessors will
make their valuation, and assess the
tax to be collected. A heavy penalty
will be imposed upon any one who
fails to make out bis list within a
given time after receiving the blanks.
So long as the State had plenty Of
money in its vaults, this law Of 1S46
was not enforced but this year our
Commonwealth seems TO be sort OF
hard up and this law will be accor-
dinghy revived and enforced to fill up
the depleted Golfers Of the State.-In-
