Complimentary.

We clip from the Memphis Public
Ledger the following complimentary
notice of our absent chief:
Mr.. r. NJ. Reams, editor of the Nc
Minnville Standard, and president Of
the Tennessee Press Association,
reached the city this morning en-
route to San Antonia, Texas, to at
tend the annual convention of the
National Editorial Association, which
meets there on she Dist. inst Mr.. A.
B. White, of Parkersburg, West Vir-
ginia, who is President, estimates
that there will be three hundred
persons in attendance. The conven-
ton will be in session four days. At
ter that the members will visit the
principal cities of Texas five days, and
then go on an excursion over the
Mexican National Railway to the
City of Mexico. The whole trip will
occupy nearly month for those who
make the entire circuit. Several
Tennessee editors were invited to join
the party, but very few could take
the time to go at this season of the
year. Mr.. Reams is a bright, worthy
young man. He was elected presi-
dent of the Tennessee Press Associa-
ton at the annual meeting held here
last spring. We take pleasure in
commencing him to our brethren of
the Texas press, as gentleman who
will reflect credit upon the professions
of journalism, and upon State that
furnished some of the best blood shed
at the Alamo. Mr.. Reams will leave
this afternoon via the Bald Knob
route, and will 60 direct by Little

IRVING COLLEGE.

Irving College, Nov. 27-The roads

Some of our farmers have been hav-
ing "hog KILN" times this week,
and now, spare ribs, back bones,
and sausage is the order of the
day, with little souce thrown in
now and then.
Cholera has been for some time,
and still is, playing havoc with the
hogs in this vicinity. Quite num-
ber have lost all their hogs from this

"hog-killing times" rather skace,
around here, next year.

TAKE THE

Considerable of a commotion is being
raised by the San over the alleged sharp
advances which have been made in the
assessment placed upon property this year
as compared with last years figures. As
usual the cratic luminary has dealt more
in gcneralities than specifications. 1t has
expressed the gravest displcasure over
what 1t calls the extraordinary advances
made in real estate valuations in this city
particularly, and from this standpoint it
has dealt out columns of f|ictional state
ments with daily regularity.
Now, what do the cold, unpreyaricating
figures show, anyhow?
They show that town lots and improve
ments in Cheyenne, Pine Bluffs and iva
were assessed last year 81, OBS, 0O7. go; the
present year town lots and improvements
in Cheyenne, Pine Bluffs, Lusk, iva,
Manville aud Wendovcr are assessed at
3d. 3O, 699. In this years assessment
IVA, MELVILLE and Wendover appear,
which wasn't the case a year ago. Last
year the land now comprised in the Two
Kelly additions, the Burlington Heights
addition, Holdrege addition and the Lake
M~lnnehaha addition to Cheyenne was
assessed by the acre; this year all these
additions are assessed by the lot. Where
is the extraordinary increase that the Sun
howls about?
All the various a~ssessable property ex-
cept the main line Of the Union Pacific,
the Wyoming Central and the Western
Union Telegraph company, the assess
ment of which is in the hands Of terri
torial board, show a total increase on all
items Of 81, 643, 3l3.63, a total decrease
on all the items of 81 ,093, SSS. 80, leaving
a net all around increase ofS549, 425. "a.
To offset this increase the increase in
the value of railway property alone is
$40, 1852. The Cheyenne & Northern
and Cheyenne & Burlington. which do not
extend beyond this county in the territory
are assessed fifty miles at 5000 a mile
and thirty miles at So 1000 respectively.
The Sun should revel In fewer grnerali-
ties and more accurate figures.

publican organ organ of this district, called
on Judge William p. Edison and OK
pressed regret hat he had been defeated
at the late state convention for nomina-
ton for judge of the supreme court.
Judge Edison replied: After the nom,
ination of Judge Hovey for governor l
am to be congratulated on my defeat in
the convention and not condoled with, for
Gen. Hovey's candidacy has changed the
Republican campaign in Indiana from an
aggressive one to that of the defensive,
which, with the local option plank
adopted, will certainly defeat Hovey as
well as Harrison and Norton
The Judge also explained: 4
allowed my name to go before the
convention after the nomination of
Hovey for the express purpose of compel
ling Bruce Carr and the Slick Six gang
of indianapolis to show their hands, they
being under pledges to me for having
influenced Posey county TO give the de-
Gliding vote in district convention in favor
of Harrison delegates to Chicago, which
made the Indiana delegation solid. Hav-
ing been an advocate Of Gen. Harrison's
nomination for a number of years | did
this very consistently and with good
faith" Judge Edison is one OF the most
prominent and popular Republicans in
Southern Indiana, having been twice hon
