IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERs.-Tax-
PAYERS should bear in mind that in the
assessment now being made by the
County Auditor, property OF every de-
scription, real and personal; will be
assessed. They should make out their
lists of property, with true valuation
attached, before going to the assess
ment. In so doing lands should be
classed as follows: First, arabic or
cleared land; second, woodland; third,
unproftable swamps. The names Of
owners Of surrounding contiguous
lands should also be given AS the
assessment will necessarily be more
tedious than ordinarily, SO the course
above Indicated will greatly expedite
the ework OF the assessor. Remember that
all males betWeenth ages. Of p and 60
years are subject to poll tax.

TIE BLIZZARD IN COLUMBIA.-Ine
Columbia Register, Of last Sunday says:
"Everything which could freeze has
been frozen stiff since Friday night,
and the category includes almost every
thing outside of red hot stove. Eggs
could be eaten hard without boiling,
butchers meat, had to, be cut with Il
saw, game and fish must needs be al
most boiled before the hide and feath-
ers and scales could be removed; water
refused to flow unless driven from q
boiler in the form Of steam, the ground
is everywhere like granite, and the
mercury is in danger OF running out OF
thebottom of the thermometer. Such
state Of frigidity has not,been known
in the memory of the Oldest inhabitant,
and unless relief comes soon, emigra-
tion will be advisable to the genial CHI
mate of Alaska.
. A NEW LAw.-Me would call the at
tention of our readers to the following
law which was passed ut the late ses-
sion of the Legislatures: THAT the
owner or keeper Of any gate which OBJ
structs Il highway, either public OF pri-
yate, shall have such gate constructed
50 as TO afford a road way between the
posts OF ut least nine feet, anu shall
keep the said gate in such repair and
condition as to be easily opened anu
shut, and that the latch or other faSten-
ing will adjust itself on being closed;
and. further, that the said keeper shall
erect or caused to be erected at conven-
lent distance from such gate, on each
side. a suitable hitching post for the
convenience Of those travelling in
vehicles. That the owner or keeper Of
such gate who shall fail to comply with
the requirements Of this Act shall,
upon conviction, for each offense pay a
fine OF not less than twenty-five dollars,
or he imprisoned in the County Jail for
a term not exceeding thirty days.

1t is said that his manipulations are
liable to draw into his net some of the
most willy workers of the plckerel
district and that the legal fraternity
generally will back him because he is a
Judge. There is, however, another ele-
ment to be consulted in this arrange
ment. The rank and file Of south Da.
kota will oppose Judge Palmer's nomi-
nation, as they would oppose him at the
polls should the misfortune of his noml-
notion be placed upon the territory. He
is yet too fresh from the councils of
Ordway to merit the confidence of the
people, who have not forgotten his close
alliance with that functionary during
the county organization and capital
commission days. His advice to Gov
ernor Pierce to veto the bill removing
the capital from Bismarck to Pierre and
his statement that the Sioux Falls
judicial district wanted the bill vetoed
are also remembered. This is hardly
the time for Judge Palmer to come to
the front.

Its Pol;tjcn, Asnac,

Sioux City Journal: Certain demo-
cratic papers continue the tell tale
whine that the republican party is
making political capital of the Had
dock assassination" Why should this
imbecile plant be heard SO loud in the
land? 1t is in the first place because in
the deliberate opinion of the democratic
press there actually is political Capital
to be made out of the dastardly murder
OF the ID OF August. Remember that it
is the democratic press which SAYS that
That is facts to start from. It is q
confession, in the second place, that for
some reason the democratic party can
not make any capital" out of the red
handed deed which more than any
other fact is present in The
mind OF the people of Iowa. Now, what
's that reason? The Des Moines Leader
should answer. The one thing which
its party In Iowa is after is Capital p
Its hungry chase has been and is
especially at this particular moment
after anything on earth which promises,
or which may by any form of torture OF
manipulation can be made into, "politi.
cal capital" let it be what it may O,
come from what source it may. What
therefore, is the overmastering consider
alton which instantly forces the demo.
cratic party to recognize that the brutaI
crime OF the Haddock assassination is 6
thing which injures the democratic
party before the people of Iowa : to
acknowledge that there is no "politica
capital in it for the democratic party :?

Many democratic newspapers and O

have endeavored to place before the pub.
lie form of excuse for the murder of Mr.
Haddock, in Sioux City, largely with the
purpose of counteracting the political
effect of that tragedy. To these news.
papers the Chicago Inter Ocean ad-
dresses itself:
We regret to see in some of the west
ern democratic papers tone of apology
for the miscreants who murdered the
Rev. George @. Haddock. Mr.. Haddock
was martyr to his devotion TO the en-
torcemeDt of the law, and no honest
man OF any political party can afford
even by implication TO admit that he
has any sympathy with the cause of h,s
assasslns. Mr.. Haddock was accused of
DO crime. His only offense was that he
was de7oting himself to the enforcement
OF law of Iowa which had the unusual
prestige OF direct Endorsement by the
voters of the state. For this he was
murdered by some concealed assassin or
assasslns, and there is hardly posi-
bility or doubt but his murder was the
result of conspiracy for that purpose,
The anarchists who are or trial for
the murder of our policemen in Hay-
market square are no more guilty of a
CRIME against society than were the men
who conspired to murder Mr. Haddock
They all had the same object in view,
and that was to throw down law and
procure disorder and anarchy. The
Inter Ocean has no desire nor does il
attempt to throw the discredit of Mr..
Haddock' s assassination upon the demo
cratic party or any respectable portion
of it, but as we have said, it is painful
to see the tone of semi-npologv that q
number of democratic papers have man.
ifested towards these assassins.
The truth is that all such crimes
against law and humanity rest against
the cause that they were intended to
aid; and the canse of the saloon men
has had no harder blow for years than t
had when Mr.. Haddock was murdered
His blood, shed because he had devoted
his life to the cause of temperance and
the enforcement of the law against
liquor selling, will net only increase the
intensity Of the determined prohibition
advocates themselves, but will add M ore
largely to their ranks, by tenfold, than
he could have done if living. 1t is the
law of progress that the martyrs blood
is more potent for proselyting than the
tongue of the evangelist

the steamer which was burned on the
Volga to-day was the Vera, belonging
to the Samolet company and bound for
Astrachan, up river. The fire was caused
by the fall ci a gang lamp in saloon.
The woodwork was ignited, and all

were in bed at the time the fire broke
out, rushed to the deck as soon as the
alarm was given, aud many of them

captain ordered the boat to be run
ashore. This was done, but while the
bow of the boat became imbeded in the
bank the stern remained IN deep water
and the passengers we're still obliged to
swim ashore. Many persons lost their
lives by being struck by tables and
