The republican caucus to nominate a
candidate for Mayor will be held at Me-
oman Hall this evening. We trust it will
be rouser. Every republican who can
should attend in person and take part in
the proceedings. The caucus is the prop
err place for free and unlimited express
sion Of choice as to candidate. No citi
zen should regard it as Incompatible with
his dignity to meet his fellow men on the
same level at the caucus to take measures
for the public good. 1t is important to
have the best and strongest nomination
that can be made. so that it will bring out
full republican vote next Monday and
secure Mayor for the coming year whose
promises will be made good in an econom-
zeal. wise. honorable administration that
will rebound to the peace, prosperity and
good name OF the CITY.

The Inaugural.

the inaugural address of President
Cleveland, found on the first page of the
Journal to-day. will not inspire those who
read it with a feeling of profound respect
for the President recently inaugurated. His
most devoted followers and supporters
must peruse it with chagrin and disap-
pontment There are a few platitudes
about the Constitution and the common
duties of citizenship, but outside of these,
with the exception of declaration tn
favor IF civil service reform. there is
barrenness of ideas that is absolutely sur
prising
If we understand the President he is not
in favor OF bestowing offices upon his fol-
lowers as rewards for political service.
He takes the ground upon which the mug
wumps stand rather than that upon which
the old line democracy have planted them
selves. II he means what he says there
has been a great deal Of labor among his
democratic friends in arranging states. par
titioning offices, and circulating petitions
which will be utterly useless to advance
their claims for Office. If business merit,
capacity and honesty are alone to be the
rule in regard to gaining and retaining
Office. then the present incumbents of
places who have been tried and found
faithful and have experience and training
in the duties they are called upon to per-
form will hold their places in spite of pc
titions, be they ever so numerously signed
of democrats seeking to displace them
But let no one be too certain in his own
mind what the President will do. When
he comes to act we shall know how tar his
words declare his sentiments and inten-
lions. Certainly his inaugural is not cal
cdlated to promote democratic cheerfulness.

"If we are interested in the future of our city, we
ought gradually but surely to reduce our debt and so
our rate Of taxation."- Mayor Whitehouse's Al
dress.
There have been 50 many wild and extrav-
CANT assertions by the New Age, of the great
reduction and consequent saving in all the
departments of the present city government,
that 1t is but simple justice to all concerned.
that whenever and wherever an honest COM
parison can be made, it should be done, so
that if the claims made be true, they should
be sustained, and if false they should be ex-
posed, Among the earliest fruits of the
present government, was to raise the rate of
taxston from twenty-one dollars on a thou
sand last year to twenty-five and half dol
lars on thousand this year; an increase in
the rate of one and half mills
This result was surprise to the taxpayers,
after much had been promised. They
were told, in explanation, that taxes were
necessarily made higher by the extravaganza
of the government of last year and the large
amount of unpaid bills ''lapping over" for
them to pay this year. This statement, of
course, was. and is, wholly and absolutely
false. as it had nothing whatever to do with
increasing the rate,
The abatement of the Edwards Co.'S prop
erty, was loss that would necessarily raise
the rate to some extent, though not more than
half the increase of the present year.
The only other cause which forced the rate up
to where it is-and will surely carry it still
higher in the future-under like manag Ament--
we will here demonstrate by facts and figures
which cannot be truthfuly assaulted or de-
MED. The assessors heretofore have always
succeeded in finding property so as to in
crease the valuation over the previous year
While the increase has not been large it has
been sure and steady, ranging from $50, 900
to S15 900, over and above any and all losses
To illustrate: The assessors of last wear
found an amount greater than the year be-
fore, of $685. in round numbers while the
assessors of this year, instead of increasing
the valuation of last year, by finding more
property than the year before, sustained a
loss of over $1,000. This is not in the
classic language of the New Age slap over"
but a Flap under" and a very serious one. for
if you reckon the amount of increase thew
ought to have made over last years valuation
with the sum of the decrease, it makes the
amount so large thar the rate is at once materi-
ally raised to supply the loss sustained. Now
if this condition was the result of natural
causes, it would indicate very serious con-
dition of the citys future, as it would indi-
cate its decay rather than its advancement
snd growth
We do not believe the city is on the down.
hill grade, as the above result would seem to
indicate, bat that it is gradually increasing
IN wealth slowly but surely. Any citizen
VINO may have any doubt about the correct

ACCIDENTALLY H O
A Serious Shooting Accident That Be.
fel Dick Prout, q C%entervil'e Miner.

Yesterday morning a party OF miners
from Centerville. among them heing Dick
Prout and Dick Coombs, started for a days
hunt into the country. When Silver Bow
was reached a halt was called and the party
went into the Silver Bow Brewery for re-
freshments. While there one of the number
was told that several rabbits were seen a
short tim before at the back OF the brew
cry and the party took up their guns and
repaired to that spot in search OF the game.
When the party got in sight of the
rabbits Dick Coombs was in the act OF cock
ing his gun when, in some unaccountable
manner, the piece was discharged. Prout
happened to be standing in front OF Coombs
and the entire charge Of shot struck the I'M
fortunate Prout square in the knee, shat
tering it in a dreadful tanner. A convey
ance was at once procured and the wound
ed man brought to this city. subsequently,,
he was taken to his homein Centerville and
DR.. Bishop WAS called. who did all he could
to alleviate the sufferings of the injured
hunter. The wound is a very painful one,
but it is not considered dangerous. No
manner OF blame can be attached to Coomb's
as the shooting was purely accidental.
