ASSESSMENT OF REALTY.
The question of establishing basis for
the assessment of railway right-of-waY,
road-bed. trackage, etc, is fully discussed
The value OF line of railroad is not
easy to determine The most potential
factors in determining such value may be
named as follows:
for use.
Second-The business afforded by the
country through which il is built.
Third-The amount of business actually
secured by the road; taking into consid-
Grafton its competing lines.
Fourth-The legimate cost of operating
the road
rlIJH- lne advantages IL enjoys IN Ule
way of terminal facilities.
Sixth-Whether ii is trunk line or
mere feeder for a trunk line
Seventh-What is the actual value of
the road today?
First of all, what is the cost OF the road
ready for use? And, how much should
that weigh in making this assessment?
The search for an answer 20 this question
dlscioseS the fact that some OF the Kansas
roads built and equipped many years ago
actually cost double what they would if
built this year They are worth no more
In actual cash because of the high cost of
construction. The business b ock built
years since, when stone, brick. lumber,
glass, paint, iron, tin and labor were much
higher than they are today, will bring no
more rent nor sell for higher price than
the new business block equally well To-
Gated, built this year for half the money.
Should the blocks be taxed upon the basis
OF actual cost or actual value today?
Bat there Is another item figuring in the
apparent cost Of railroads with which the
board have had to deal in arriving at con.
cIuslons. This Is the peculiar system of
bookkeeping by railway companies. as
shown upon the pages of the biennial re,
port OF the railroad commissioners.

White Supremacy Paramount.

JACKSON, M1ss., March S.-The letters
of Senators Walthall and George, pro-
nouncing against the sub treasury plan,
are the chief topics of conversation in
political circles. Senator Georges letter
was only received and read here to-day.
Assistant State Alliance Treasurer Nc
Allister is in the city. In an interview
he said /:
ri have read the views of Senators
George aud Walthall on the sub. treasury
plan with qualification. These gentle.
men will be overwhelmingly endorsed
upon this question and upon their course
generally. For Mississippi to fail to
return them would be calamity to the
State and the country at large. Their
views are shared by most of the leading
Alliance men of Mississippi with whom
have recently talked, some of them the
highest officials in the Order.
"The preservation of white supremacy
in Mississippi is paramount to any an d
all economic questions. The element in
Mississippi, with few honorable excep-
tions, which is forcing the treasury
question to the front, and seeking to
make an issue in the selection of mem
bers to the Legislature, is notoriously
the disafected element which came to
the snrface in the greenback fat money
craze, and materialized in the Ben King
campaign in 1881, coalescing with Re
pub!icans against the regular Democracy.
Their efforts now will fail as ingloriously
as they did then. The attempt to make
the sub.treasury question test in the
election of Senators is unfortunate in the
extreme, as it will inevitably result in
failure and disaster to the Alliance as it
has in Georgia, Alabama and elsewhere" ="

The Benefit Of Coffee.

DR.. I. N. Love, Of st. Louis, in a paper
on this subject, said that his experience
for five or six years past had been
strongly in favor of taking cup of
strong, black coffee, without sugar or
cream, between two glasses of hot water,
before rising every morning, at least an
hour before breakfast. The various
secretions were stimulated, the nervous
force was aroused, an hour later hearty
meal enjoyed and the days labor WAS
begun favorably, no matter how the du-
ties of the day and night preceding might
have drawn upon the system. Another
cup at 4 o'clock in the afternoon was
sufficient to sustain the energies for
many hours. In this way the full effect
was secured. If, along with this, the
proper diet-and the ideal diet for those
who make large drafts upon their nerv-
GUS system and expected to have them
honored is hot milk-and at least eight
hours of sleep were taken out OF every
twenty.four, ones capacity for work
would be almost unlimited"

DISCONTINUED Farmers.

Farmer, when you go to the town or
city and see the dealers of the shops,
busy behind their counters handing out
their wares and commodities to their Gus.
toners, do not 60 home infatuated with
the idea that they are making great
profits aud becoming rich i'll their lines
of business. On hundreds of articles sold
by these dealers the profits are hardly
worth speaking about.
The competition is immense, and the
struggle for livelihood continual, as any
one can see by looking over the adver-
tisements of prices in the newspapers,
and then notice the long list of bank
rupts, and the sacrifices of goods at auc-
ton. No, friend farmer, these city mer-
chants are not making fortunes as fast as
you might imagine from appearances.
Taxes in variety, and expenses almost
innumersble, incident to city life, not
known to the country, confront and
harass them. And now to the tiller of
the soil, who is inclined to be discon
tented with bis lot because of small gains,
We would say fraternally and encourag.
ingly: Look around you aud see if there
may not be many ways within your reach
by which you can make them larger,
Here and there about your business
there are leaks and wastes, it may be,
which might be stopped. And it may
be, also,..that different modes of culture
might be adopted, and greater variety
of products grown; but cheer up, friends,
and keep firm hold of the plow handles.

years filled the chair of pathology and
practical medicine in the medical depart

Bellevue Hospital: Listen to Loomis :
The so called plethoric habit which
causes so much anxiety has little signi6-
cance, for the emaciated yaletudinarian is
just as liable to apoplexy as he of the op-
posite condition"
"Yous usee, my reportorial friend, thatyo
who are ABOUT as fat as a match, are in
equal danger with me in this matter of
cerebral apoplexy, and am shaped like
a hogshead."
Taking down another volume, less COR
pulent than the first one, he called out /:
'sLook what Flint says-Austin Flint,
late professor of the principles and prac.
tice of medicine and of clinical medicine
in the Bellevue Hospital medical College
of New York City: formerly much i'm
portauee was attributed to socalled
apoplectic constitution. consisting of
shortness Of the neck, with considerable
embonpoint and what is known as full
habit. An analysis of a considerable
number of cases shows that no reliance is
to be placed on these or any other oxter-
nal characteristics as denoting predis-
position to cerebral hemorrhage.

notion, but I have found out to my own
comfort that I was in error."-Raasas
