Rnilroad Asscssment.

TOPEKA, Kas.. July S.-The popular
outcry all over the state against the
state board Of railroad assessors for re-
ducing the assessments against the rail
roads ten millians has resulted in the
publication Of a detailed statement Civ
ing the reasons Of the board for its ac-
ton. The board is composed of the
lieutenant governor, secretary OF state,
auditor, treasurer and attorney general.
It's statement makes $4,000 words and
shows that the assessed valuation OF
railroad property has increased
yearly for the past four
years, while other assessments have de-
creased until last year they were IL per
cent OF the total valuation of state
property. The board defends itself
against the charges Of the people, but
holds the railroad companies RESPONSE
Bile for it all because Of their peculiar
railway arithmetic
IL complains because the companies
insist upon adding the yearly expendi-
ture in improvements TO the original
cost OF the road TO make its total cost
and adds that there would be as much
sense In a farmer including his mort
gage bonds and interest he pays toshow
total cost OF house and ranch. The
board has discovered that the actual
cost Of the railway lines in the state is
not more than one-third Of the actual
figures submitted to the railway COM

The politicians Of both old parties ap
pear 10 be greatly surprised and grieyel
tina, the alliance through its papers and
sub alliances does not condemn by edi
torials and resolutions the action Of tht
recent Cincinnati conference. such
action on the part or the alliance would
be a serious reflection upon the good
sense and Judgement OF its members
This conference met in convention, and
decided to accept. defend and propa-
ganda the demands OF the alliance.
Nothing but a complete want Of sense
would prompt the alliance in repelling
or refusing the assistance offered by
this conference I'm fact the alliance
would rejoice exceedingly if the two
old parties would adopt the same course.
IL is through this willingness TO accept
in good faith, aid and assistance from
any source in the great work OF reform
in which 1t is engaged that the alliance
proves beyond dispute its nonpartisian-
ism. 10 matters not TO the alliance

LONDON, July s.-Although society
has practically ceased talking OF the
baecarat scandal, il is rumored that the
German emperor has followed the ex.
ample OF the duke OF Portland. and has
objected to the presence Of Lady Brooke
at the garden party which is to be Civ
en- at Marlborough House in his honor.
The prince OF Wales is bitterly annoyed
at this, for the absence Of Lady Brooke,
under the circumstances, is certain to
provoke comment
Another subject Of annoyance from
which the prince is suffering Just now
is the prediction which is evineed by
his eldest son, the duke Of Clarence, for
the society of young Lord Craven, who
is only . years old, and his set OF ef-
Terminate boys. 1t has always been
hoped that Prince Collars and Cuffs
would prove nothing worse than fool,
but his name, it viii be remembered,
was more than whispered in connection
with the Cleveland street scandal

There is striking analogy between
the sub.treasury plan proposed by the
Farmers Alliance and the fiscal plan
devised by the sturdy Hollanders at
Amsterdam as early a. 1905. II may
be inferred that the former was really
patterned after the latter. The plan
81 the Hollanders Is clearly stated by
/ Mr. Calhoun in his celebrated speech Of
October, 1897, on the bill TO authorize
the issue Of treasury notes. Ho said;

A FULL LINE OF
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-03

THE coyote scalp bounty has become
a matter OF considerable significance in
depicting the state treasury. The Sec
ond quarters returns show an increase
in the claims for scalps of $4,000 over
the first quarter, and it is estimated
that the scalpers will have drawn over a
quarter of million OF dollars out of the
treasury before the legislature meets.
If this law was passed as joke, it has
turned out to be very expensive one.
Kern county stands at the head of the
list, 5,445 having been paid in bounties
to the scalpers of that county. Los Ange-
les has modest bill OF $2010. whilst San
Diego and San Bernardino are slightly
ahead of us in the coyote business. We
dc not know that any one has gone into
the business of breeding coyotes; but
at the rate OF $5 bounty a head it could
be made profitable business, as the
wild dog is as prolific as the domestic
animal

WASHINGTON is alive with speculation
upon the strained relations that must
shortly assert themselves between
Blaine and Harrison. The friends OF
Blaine have secured a certificate Of
health, which is intended to do away
with the talk about his being in no
physical condition to stand the wear
and tear of a presidential campaign, and
this is believed to be the opening step
to his avowal that he will run. Har-
rison is set in his determination to get
the nomination again, and will not toll
crate any detection in his subor-
dinates; 30 that it is openly stated
in Washington that when Blaine's can
didacy is publicly announced, Harrison
will ask him for his resignation. There
promises to be a rare old split amongst
the leaders of the G. o. p. in this conten-
ton between the man who has the pat
ronage of the government and the man
who wants it. The two have been play
ing foxy game for some time, but the
time is near at hand when the chess.
board will have to be brought out from
cover.
