DISTRICTS POURING IN.
THEY WILL INCREASE SHELBY's
TAXABLE PROPERTY VALUATION.
The Equalization Boards Undisturbed
Sitting on the Returns OF Deputy AS
SCISSOR w. r. Harrell-What the Books
Show and How Figures are Changed.

The equalization board, while inclined
TO patiently hear objections and tote
fair" is also impressed with the fact Of
necessary and correct higher valuation OF
property.
The board was in session all day yester-
day, Chairman Slaughter presiding.
When the assessor and board announced
that daily sessions would be held, il was
naturally supposed that taxpayers would
flock in to learn what had been done I'M
der the operations OF the new assessment
law. Again, when il was known that
samples from the city ward books would
be published in TnE APPEAL, the board
gloomily anticipated heavier rush. Be
fore the day ended there was disappoint-
mcnt Of pleasant character, and facility
and despatch reigncd,
Work was begun on the Tenth, Twelfth,
Thirteenth, Eighteenth and Second dis
tricts. Squire w. X. llarrel attended
10 this territory in person and visited every
piece Of property assessed. lie was will
ing TO youch for accuracy OF description in
cede that some OF the assessments were n
trihe low.
Singular TO remark, not single tax
payer from these districts presented their
objections to the deputy assessors re-
turns. A few appeared in the county
court room, where the sessions are being
held, examined the books, conversed for a
short time with Squire Harrell, and ap.
parcntly left satisfied. One gentleman
laughngly remarked, rs q parting shot,
"Ilc who enters here must leave all hope
behind"
As result Of the undisturbed dclibera-
tons Of the board few valuations filed
by the deputy assessor were lowered, while
great many Others took an opposite shoot
Here are q few specimens:
New Memphis Jockey club, 100 acres
from $4,000 10 $4,000, or at $3.50 per
acre
Chickasaw Land company, l,63s acres,
from $50 TO so per acre, making q total Of
SllI,G60.
Prospect park, 100 acres, same compa-
ny, same rate Of valuation, 1000.
The W. l.. Vance estate, l,O27 acres,
10000.
Oycrton.Lca tracts in Eighteenth dis
tflCt, J3l acres all told. S1O,OOO.
Last year, and in previous years gcner-
ally, all the foregoing property has slipped
through ON assessments Of $40 and less per
acre. As Chairman Slaughter remarked:
at is this pernicious system that has
choked Shelby county"
Squire llarrcll says Collioryillc property
shows an increase Of about $4,000 over
previous years.
The District returns 30 far rs they are
footed up, show the following valuations
Second, S3l5,OO0.
Fourth, Slg3,05O.
Eighth, S203,63
Ninth, S2l5, 900.
Tenth, $3.50
Twelfth, S325. 600.
Thirteenth, s7ll 600.
Fourteenth, Sj,isIOOO, against 81, s72,-
S05 last year.
Seventeenth. 5000.
Eighteenth, 100000.
There will be- changes In these figures.
Of course. That is what the board OF
IL for. But Il IL more than
likely the alterations will cause an adj
vance. The board will continue its ses.
sions to-day, the balance Of this week, and
all OF next.

A fault found with the recent message by
the Minneapolis Journal-that 1t failed to give
the Presidents view on Robert Elsmere lis
Ill considered.
That book, 80 absorbing to minds In a con-
dition ready to be absorbed by it, is not the
proper subject for a state paper. When Eng
lands great political character. Mr. GLAD
STONE. delivered his opinion Of It he did not
make It a feature Of Parliamentary debate
but stepped outside into the domain of maga-
zines and published his essay through the
Nineteenth Century. 1t would be very interest
ing to learn what impression this book might
have produced upon tho mind Of strict
Presbyterian statesman like Mr.. CLEVELAND.
its effect upon a High Church Episcopalian
being known through the utterances of Mr..
GLADSTONE.
Why shouldn't Mr. CLEVELAND like MIR.
GLADSTONE, try his hand at magazine dis
cussion2 His views upon any subject he might
select would there be OF unqualified interest to
the public. and in such forum. where the
personality OF the disputant Is always an i'm
portant factor. there would be unrsstrained
opportunity to express opinions Of every side
and Of every feature Of his problem, in all its
varieties and ramihcations.

The New Figure In the p. r.

Things are not as they used to be with the
prize fighters. Years ago, when the rings
days were regarded as the palmy ones, their
habits were like the rules OF chess In chess
1t is touch piece and move With the fight
ers 1t was talk and fight. When one pro-
posed go, the response from some other
that go 1t was came almost invariably
In prompt and satisfactory shape. and there.
upon the go went upon the date as originally
scheduled for the near future.
Between this way and the way Of the pres
ent time any one can see that the difference
is great, even IL he knows nothing of the
radical distinction between the rules formu-
lated by the Marquis Of QUEENsBERRY and
the moro venerable order of business which
governs the prize ring proper. Old-tlme
challenges were launched like bullets from
the gun Of a Western Sheriff. They meant
business and rarely failed to bring down
their man. Modern challenges seem to be
very much like musketry fire In time of war,
when 1t is pretty well recognized formula
that 1t takes a thousand bullets to kill one
enemy. Nowadays there are about a thou
sand challenges to one fight
An extraordinary instance OF the latest
style was the defiance issued to the Grand
Sheik YAKUB KILRAIN by the deposed Sui
tan, LORENZO SULLIVAN, while the latter
was still PROSTATE upon the divan of serious
illness. Hardly had AzRAELs wings been
Withdrawn from above his head, when SUI
LTvAN raised his voice TO say that he would
whip JACOB when he got up. Then when
JACOB arose SULLIVAN offered to whip him
for 10000 price unrecorded In the P. r.

Fighters OF all sizes are training In
the same school. Master DoMNICK Nc
CAFFREY recently journeyed from Phila-
delphia to st. Paul to fight with Mas
ter PATRICK KILLEN. In our opinion the
fellow citizen OF IGNATIUs DoSNEL1Y
could have eaten up the fellow citizen of
GEORGE w. CHILDs. But when the latters
friend placed his toe upon the scratch the
foot OF KILLEN WAS not there to meet it. and
things were as though there had been no
challenge or acceptance. And 80, with the
aid OF almost all the recognized and classi-
fed lights Of the profession, II goes from the
2OO-pound giants to the 10O-pound bantams.
They strike from their tongues instead of
from their shoulders.
Yet the men Of to-day are probably the
best the world has seen. The old-time
bruisers might be lansacked without finding
one who. pound for pound. could hold his own
with any of the entire school of present ar
lists, from SULLIVAN down through MITCH
ELL, DEMPSEY, McAULIFFE, or WEIR. These
are all game men, too. There must be some
new force working around the squared circle.
the ring, and, in our judgment 1t is in fact,
none other than the Angel of Peace herself.
Some such benign influence as the Angel |
must be supposed In order to explain why 1t |
is 30 many OF these really able men would |
now rather taik 1t over than fight It out. |
Their minds have actually been sotteAsd.

WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-If the statements
OF business men who come here are fair in
dex OF the business Of the country. the sooner
the new Administration announces It's policy
upon the tariff question the better II will be for
the Industries OF the country. The uncertainty
engendered by the situation has greatly rs-
stricted existing business enterprises, and has
prevented capital from seeking new fields OF
investment 1t has been impossible to make
time contracts. as the basis for computation
has been wanting.
Business mon say they are tired OF this eter-
nal leap in the dark. They desire stability.
They look for certainty. They will ask tho
Harrison Administration to inform the country
at the earliest possible date what its policy is
TO be, and they will ask the Republican Con-
gress to give effect to that policy without delay.
The gentlemen who represent this sentiment
are neither Protectionists Dcr Free Traders
They will endeavor TO adapt themselves to
almost any character Of tariff legislation If
they can only be informed what that legislation
is to he. The banner may be carried by Mr.
Randall or by Mr.. Mills by Mr.. Allison or by
Mr.. Vest. II only the fight can be ended. and
the victor say what he will do in his conquered
territory.
