office, dated Niobrara, Neb., and signed citi-
GEMS committee:
"The citizeus of this place will raise purse
of SIC. 900 and possibly a larger sum, for John

We suggest that the fight shall be fought on
the land living south of the 43d parallel, and be-
tween the Missouri river and the Niobrara
river, near this place. This land is not under
the control of either Nebraska or Dakota: in
fact il is no mans land, so far as government is
concerned, and the mill could be had here

A RELIC OF WATERLOO.

The Hall In Which the Famous Ball Took
Place. to be Sold Mt Auction.
NEW YORK, Jvne ga special from
Brussels says: The seventy-ffth anniversary
of the battle of Waterloo is presently
to be celebrated in decidedly novel way
and one not little to be regretted
1t may also be said to be discreditable to the
successors of the victors in that battle.
What would you say in America if Mount
Vernon or the old South church were to
COME under the auctioneer's hammer?
Well, the relic of Waterloo that is on
almost the very anniversary Of the battle
is to be sold to the highest bidder,
and thereafter, in all probability, will soon
be demolished altogether. 1t is not
altogether as sacred q place as those in
America, yet it is one of the most interest
ing and important memorials now surviving
Gat worlds earthquake. 1t has moreover
been immortalized by one Of the greatest OF
English poets, and by one the greatest of
English novelists. That it should at this
date be menaced with destruction seems GER
tainly pitiable, and one wonders why q lit
tie of England's surplus wealth cannot be
used to secure and preserve ii as a historical
memorial OF the greatest conflict of the Gen.
turj.
This structure which is now advertised
for sale at auction, is none other than
the building in Rue he La Blanchesserie,
in which the Duke and Duchess
of Richmond gave their fomous
ball on the very eve of the battle
of Waterloo, a brilliant gathering
graphically described by Byron in "Childe
Harold" and by Thackeray in VANITY
Fair" and it is especially memorable as
one of the historic features of Waterloo
actually founded on fact. The floor OF the ball
room is now very uneven. The bare walls are
whitewashed. Some OF the windows are
boarded up. Down the center runs six
huge oaken columns, chipped and SCARED
by relic hunters. The room adjoining in
which Thackeray pictured George Osborne
and Becky Sharp Crowley setting out
dances, is now occupied by huge unused

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAr0H.i
CLEvELAND. June 29-It is learned tonight
that great effort has been made to transfer
the Brotherhood ball games for the morning
and afternoon of the Fourth of July to Phila-
delphia- The National League club will be in
this city on that day, and it has been urged that
both associations cannot play to good crowds.
President johnson says he was guaranteed 20,
600 paying visitors if he would allow the games
to be played in Philadelphia. He has no doubt
that similar offers have been made Pittsburg
and Chicago. Cleveland, however, will not
make the change.
1t is generally understood here that after the
Fourth of July games the price Of admission to
all National League games will be reduced TO
Is cents. The crowds during the past week
have been wOefully small.
Secretary Brunell, of the Players League,
came down from Chicago this morning, and
will make his future headquarters in tins city.

ALLEGED HYPOCRISY.

The Governor devotes considerable space
to a review of the speech o! Mr.. Lodge, and
refers to the alleged hypocrisy of some
people in supporting the bill, and especially
in Pennsylvania, whose representatives pro-
pose to vote for it. while in that State, he
says, there is more fraud and intimidation,
under the leadership of Senator Quay, than
in all the combined States Of the South.
The Governor states he does not charge the
whole Republican party with this measure.
1t is only the political tricksters in charge
of the House of Representatives who are
willing to create irresponsible returning
boards, degrade courts of justice, usurp the
rights Of States and thus control elections
for certain result.

Some Interesting Questions.

AZTEC, A. T. February 18th, 1890.
EDITOR ARIZONA SENTINEL-Dear
Sir.-I have noticed in your paper
that Mr.. Nugent as Sheriff of Yu-
ma county is going to apply to
court for authority to sell several
tracts of land for taxes and being
unacouainted with the law of Ari-
IONA / would thank you to answer
the following questions. Has the
Board of Supervisors the legal right
to assess lands filed upon as home
steads when parties have not pro-
we'd up on said land consequently
have no patent from the U. S.
Why is land assessed at $500
per acre when ACCOMPLISHMENTS in
Guiding improvements, are offered
for $1,75 per acre?
Why is it that only actual set
tiers who happen to be at home
when the assessor called at their
houses are assessed, while non-re
sidents holding lands for specula-
ton don't pay any taxes on their
holdings?
| am we'll aware that taxes have
to be paid to a certain amount and
if everybody is assessed accord
ing to the amount of property ow-
ned the burden will be equally dis
tributed and will not be very heavy,
but is this done? l say no. In our
township not one fourth of the
land is assessed, parties holding
from 400 to $40 acres not being as
sessed at all while others with 100
acres are required to pay from $34.-
90 to $500.
If all lands were taxed alike
the same amount of revenue could
be raised in our township by tax
of $500 to 5000 for every 100 acre
tract and nobody would consider it
a great hardship to pay that amount
but when it comes to paying $500
for men who have never raised
crop of any kind and don't know
when they will do so, it is hard on
them. FAIR PLAY.
In reply to the questions pro-
pounded by "Fair Play" the SENT
MEL is pleased to give the required
information. The assessment was
made by the Assessor last spring,
his report was accepted by the
Board of Supervisors, but the Ter
ritorial Board Of Equalization, at
it's meeting arbitrarily raised the
assessment as fixed by the Board
of Supervisors on land claims to five
dollars per acre, which rating the
Supervisors were bound to accept.
The SENTINEL is sure that the Board
of Supervisors does not wish to dis
courage or Cypress the settlers, and
in this case had no discretion in the
matter at all. It is the belief of
most OF our taxpayers that the
assessment as made on the land
claims, which have not been
proved mp" on, is illegal and the
SENTINEL advises settlers to refuse
payment of the same as not one
dollar of those taxes can or will be
collected.

yas ,tVas a lone day-and dark was the night,
And with anguish our hearts were all aching;
Above, all around, the storm Is in its might,

Fierce howled the wind and boistrous the wave,
No beacon light to give us a warming,
The sea yawned beneath us like deep grave,
And so long seemed the coming of morning.
But night is now going, the storm lulls away,
And our fears now cease in their dreaming,
The heart takes cheer as the first morning ray
