STRENGTH

to vigorously push a business
strength to study profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do a days labor with
out physical pain. All this repre-
sents what is wanted, in the often
heard expression, "0h! wish !
had the strength" If you are
broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv-
ing5 you can be relieved and re-
stored to robust health and strength
by taking BROWNS IRON BIT
TIERS, which is a true tOnic-a
medicine universally recommended
for all wasting diseases.

booming like a newly aedged mining

we have probably $4,000 people.
Our oltizsns are progressive, but they

however, to say that the enlargement

ASSESSMENT AGAIN.

OOule VI OuE obttoulou ENoDIonhh "a
changes claim that THE BEE is incon.
sistent In urging an increase of assess
ments upon real estate In this city and
county that is listed at r%idiculously
low figures. One Of the rural editors
who feels proud of his brass collar
makes this alarming discovery In the
following language: "The Omaha
BEE has been neutralizlpg Its own
anti. monopoly talk. A while since 1t
was rampant to have the railroad val.
uation raised. 1t now, however, Is
just as rampant to have other vAlua
lions raised. II both are raised, there
will be no difference, as between the
railroads and the people, from the
previous ~status; and so Rosewster has
been trading on Fl ,titious capital, as a
professed blatant anti-monopiist, sim-
ply hood.winking and deoeiving the
farmers"
If THE BEE had advocated the rais-
Ing of railroad assessments and had
approved Of tax Sinking on the part
of other corporations and individuals
1t would have been both unjust and
Inconsistent. What we have urged
and urge now is such an equalization
of assessments a. will properly die
tribute taxatI IN and place Its burdens
where they belong. We wage no wal
on railroads and have neve asked that
they pay more than their just share
Of taxes. And the fact that we have
denounced tax Sinking on the part Of
private individuals affords the bes'
proof that The BEE 10 not o blatant
demagogue that wants n law for the
railroads and another for other taxable
property.
There is this contrast, however, be
tween railroad taxation and the taxa
ton of other Glasses OF property,
Railroads In Nebraska are not only
assessed too low, but . large proper
ton of their property escapes all tax
alton, while In our cities the proper
ton Of taxpaye rs who shirk taxation
through low assessments IL compara'
lively small. What We need Is q fall
equal and impartial assessment of al
property whether its owners are cor
porations, bankers, business men
real estate spectators or owners o
road beds and franchises, and machin
shops and depot grounds and build
ings, We want q decrease Of taxa

more than their share, through an In
crease Of assessment on those who ar

A Corner on Shad.


fnllauelpnlh ffebe.
As fast as we get rid of one monopo.
ly another Is saddled upon the dear
people. The backbone of the Stand.
and Is racked by the free pipe line bill
and q threatened investigation. But
right on top of the good new comes
the rumor that q company Of Phlla.
delphians are going to buy up all the
Delaware shad. Not even q reform
legislature can break q corner In chad.
It would break the hearts of Philsdel-
phisns through their stomachs to be
shut IF from the uiual spring supply
of Delaware shad. The price Of beef
may be lowered by the competition of
Chicago dressed beef, but there are no
Chicago shad to lower the price Of

n kind of shad, and that Is the Del
aware shad. Potomac shad may
do for Washington; Suaque.

enough for B iltimore; even CJnneoti.

P%rosksuers and Augu,tines, the Phil

homes where ia known what's what, 1t
must be Delaware shad or no shad al
all. The close corporation of shad
monopolists will, 1t is feared, decide
the question for all Philadelphia BY
selling the source and shutting off the
supply. The fish. woman's cry OF
''shad, OH" will be stilled. Spring
will not be Spring. Mourning will
take the place of Joy. Even the dumb
