rRTr,C,s.Ns THE RE-AssEssMENT.

~
The Republican editors Of the State
continue to roll the re-assessment act as
a sweet morsel under Aeir-pencils.
Fbeayerage editor has a very hard
struggle to grasp the fact that mere
political buncomb is q very unsubstaii-
tial commodity in this day Of the world
1t was fily years ago, nearly, that the
people were accustomed to stand and be
stuffed like mummies with political
palaver Of this sort. 1t was before the
school house; before the newspaper;
before public measures were accustom-
ed to stand or fall upon their merits.
Suppose, for the sake Of change,
these wiseaeres and statesmen, look .
little into the merits or dement's Of the
reasSessment now being made.
Suppose the Republican party were
invested with the responsibility OF adj
mintstering the affairs Of the State gov
eminent; they found that with the ex'
ercise Of every reasonable degree OF
economy; with no waste, extravaganza
or misuse Of funds in any Of the depart
ments, the revenues were not sufficient
to meet the current expenses.
What would they do?
Let US have a square answer to this
question.
Let them not denounce one measure
without proposing better one.
Would they increase the rate Of taxa
ton on those already bearing the bur
dens of the government? Or:
Would they endeayOr to make all
property pay its just and fair proportion,
and thus increase the revenue while
O1ualising the LuIdrnc
Do they believe in equal and uniform
taxation or not?
What wise measure have they con-
cealed, that is better than the "equsl
and uniform taxation" prescribed by
the Constitution?
Out with it! and let US see what fools
a Democratic Legislature have made OF
themselvesl r....
The people are holding their breath
in expectancy about this matter.

The End Approaches.

The labor strike, so far as the iron inter.
ter, st is concerned, holds, but with less to,
nacious grasp, as the bread line is ap.
preached. Thousands Of workmen, skilled
and unskilled, who feel their loss of wages
for the pas three months, are ready and
willing to go to work, but prevented by tn :
fact that they represent only part of the
working machinery of great iron establish
ments. Every department must be set in
motion at the same time for successful
operation. But the end approaches, when
the wheels of industry will again be in mo-

than sore feet and sunburn. American
girls think they are rusticating and taking
the air when ithey lounge and tiirt on
piazzas in the mountains or at the seaside,
but they do not know anything about the
exaltation of health and spirits that comes
from enough steady exercise out of doors to
induce free breathing and large appetites
for plain food.

HAVING won the nomination, Mr.
UPDEGRAFF can now give his undi-

in the Seventeenth Ohio district. To win
the first has been considered equivalent
to winning the second, but there is
enough uncertainty in Ohio politics this
year to keep candidate on the anxious
seat until the votes are counted.

TUCKER COUNTY.

liChEk NOININ.
:. r. BI.ACEMAN, of Tucker county,
reports that there will be q decrease of
from fifteen to twenty per cent He
found great inequality in the present
valuations. The only increase was in
timber lands. There was general COM
plant that the valuation of lands was
too high in that county, and they seem
to have been accordingly reduced. He
finds the grass crop good; oats almost q
failure; wheat not half a crop; corn
very late; live stock in fair condition,
and the general condition not flattering.
PRESTON COUNTY.
WIN. MCKEE, of Preston county, re-
ports that he has found an increase in
newly improved and timber lands, but
some decrease in the value Of old farms.
He has found many irregularities in the
old valuation. He has also found some
tracts not on the books, and among
them one of 1915 acres owned by a
nonresident. The increase will be on
newly improved and timber lands. The
timber lands being made accessible by
good roads. Hispeople have been kind
and aided all they could in making the
assessment. The wheat and oats are
abOat one-half of the average crops.
Corn looks well. The prospect for
buckwheat was never better. Live
stock of all kinds Is in good condition.
MCDOWELL COUNTY.
H. c. ARNOLD, of Mcdowell county,
reports that there will probably be an
increase in his county Of 100 per cent.
He has not found many irregularities
in his county. The increase is about
equal in all kinds of land. The crops
are moderate" Live stock Is i'm good
condition, and the general prosperity
1'fair."
