TEXAS CREEK, Col. Sept. 2.--Denver
g. Rio Grande express train No 4,
bound from Salt Lake to Denver, was
held up by seven masked men near
here at o'clock this morning. The
robbers captured Track Walker Martin
and compelled him to flag the train.
The express messenger showed fight
and barricaded himself in his car, but
the robbers compelled the engineer and
fireman to break in the door with axes,
knowing that the expressman would
not fire upon them. Upon getting in
the messenger was roughly handled
and the contents of the safe-about
SO. 900 in all-taken. The engineer and
fireman were also robbed of their
watches. but the robbers did not molest
the passengers further than to station
a man on each side of the train armed
with Winchesters, who warned the pas
senpers to stay inside. After rob-
bing the safe in the express
car the bandits mounted horses,
which were held by a member OF the
party at the side of the track. and beat
hasty retreat. The sheriff from Trim
idad, with a posse and pack Of blood
hounds, arrived here at o'clock. and
with a party of twenty-five cowboys
from neighboring ranches started in
pursuit. The robbers fired thirty or
forty shots to intimidate the passengers
and trainmen, but shot no one.

TAXATION OF MORTGAGES.

Mr.. A. J. MCFARLAND, of this place,
who made an interesting talk on the
tax question, under the 5-minute rule,
at the recent Institute in this place, and
whose time expired before he finished
what he desired to say, finishes his
speech in this wise through these col
umns:
1t has been said that the tax on the
mortgage and on that which it is placed,
sis UNJUST" and that mode of taxation
is "fictitious;" also that it is unjust to
''tax flock of Sheep" and also the
onote given for the value OF the Sheep
Each of these claims at first view seem
reasonable. But where is the injustice
of the law in taxing "land" on which a
mortgage has been placed? Did not the
mortgagor know at the time of giving
the mortgage that his farm was taxable?
Did he not risk paying the tax on it as
well as paying both principal and inter
est on the mortgage? Did not the mort
gagee risk getting his moneys out of the
mortgagor and also pay his tax on the
mortgaged note? Each of the questions
will be answered affimatively by candid
men. Then there is no injustice in the
case unless it be between the mortgage
and the land. But injustice cannot be
logically predioated on insentiate sub
stance as land or money. Injustice is
predicable on the owners of land an
money, but in any case where each of the
arties voluntarily enter into the agree
ment, as the mortgagor and MORTGAGE.
If the mortgage fails to get money out
of the farm, he has no just reason for
complaint, and if the mortgagor fails to
comply with his obligation he has no
just reason for complaint. This applies
to complaint of the sheep buyer as well
as the mortgagor.
Now as to Fictitious values" On
what kind of property is the value more
fictitions than on land or real estate?
Stocks in certain companies, of railroads,
telephones, telegraphs, insurance, ex-
press, sc. But real estate huctuates
just as the political pulse vibrates. Real
estate is valued once in ten years, and
during the COS it was valued for taxa
tion very low, and its sale value raised
to near triple the value for taxation,
which might be properly called fictitious
values. The demand made to have the
tax taken off all mortgaged proper
ty in effect demands that the same shall
be placed on all other property, ----'e
certain amount of tax must be raised,
and the natural tendency of that scheme
is to cause imitation of prices, or ficti-
tious values, and an unbounded effort
to the widest and most visionary spec

THE WOOLTRADEN18 1890.

| The Boston Commercial Bulletin re-
views the operations of the wool market
during the past year, and thus summa-
rizes the situation: 1.-The year cleses with
trif1e higher figures than at the lowest
point, the market quotations to-day be-
ing almost exactly the same as year
ago at this time. The mills are well en-
ployed, the clothing trade has not been
so well sold up for years, South Ameri-
ca is too high to-day to permit importa-
ton of clothing woods, and the present
outlook though not inspiriting, is at
least cheerful. Cheviots, cassimeres,
knit goods and most Overcoatings may
not advance, but there is a very fair
prospect for more money on worsteds
and kerseys and higher prices have been
paid on dress goods"
The year has had its ups and downs
for the wool interests, and taken as a
whole it has been a sort of nip p-and-tuck
struggle. A year ago the sheep on hand
numbered A 1886, ,072 as against 42,599,-
072 on hand the preceding year. This
year the figures are expected to be even
larger, as the sheep have not been gen.
orally slaughtered, farmers keeping them
for the wool. The Government estimate
of the clip of 1888 was 269,000,000
pounds, of 1889, 262, 100000 pounds,an
of 1890, 276,000,000 pounds. The trade
estimate of the clip usually exceeds that
eef the Government by about forty mil
lion pounds, owing to the allowance for
pulled wool.
The imports of wool for the first ten
months of the year show marked de-
cline on every grade, which has no
doubt continued through the two months
not yet reported. The figures are as fol-
lows: Glass l, 18,240,271 pounds; class
2, 5,364,697; class 8, 64,339, ,226-a total
of 68,044, 1914 pounds, as against no.
721 ,476 pounds during the same period
in 1899. The total value of the import
ations for 1889 was $16,365, ,267, as
against $13, ,129,766 for the ten months
of 1899. The imports of woolens are
also declining, except as to dress goods,
the heavy importations of which more
than counteract the decline in other ar
tcles. The dress goods imported in ten

The total stock of wool on hand jan

total of 25,S36,l 100 pounds, as against
35,209,76S at the beginning of 1890, a
decrease of 9,373,666 pounds. A care

mestic wool now in the United States

| ANENT the discussion OF the matter OF
the adoption of means by the Ohio
Legislature for a fairer and juster
equalization of. taxes in the State, the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, makes
the following timely remarks: "That
Ohio farmers are taxed far beyond what
they should be, and out of fair proper
tion to the profits which they are able
to earn from their lands, can not be
questioned. We hear with dismay of
great schemes of road and bridge i'm
provement which are calculated to make
large additions to the already heavy
burdens of taxation. The road tax on
lands is already higher than it should
be. Nevertheless there are dreamers
and schemers who contemplate the
completion of a grand system of country
roads in Ohio in the next few years.
They forget, while complaining of "the
infamous condition of the country
roads" that these highways, such as
they are, have cost great deal of
money in construction and repair, and
that they are the gradual development
of the toll of century. 1t is certainly
a much lighter task to criticise the
condition of the roads than it was to
make them.
But the farmers are not the only land |
owners who are suffering for want of |
fair equalization of taxes. City property
holders are the victims of extravaganza
in public expenditure and dishonest

WHETHER corn or cotton shall be

sentimentalism. But certain it is that
these are great products of this country,
and failure of either crop would be a
National calamity. The value of each
mounts into the hundreds of millions of
dollars yearly, and, happily, the ascend
ancy of one does not detract grain of
fiber from the Importance of the other.

ENGLAND is a prosperous nation in
business. Owing to certain advanta-

wealth, she has succeeded well, under a
system of free trade, in commerce with
other countries not so rich and powerful

her foreign trade 8 per cent. For the
same year the increase in the foreign
trade of the United States was IA per

in Illinois is shown in the Rock Island
District, where Republican member of
the Legislature was elected, but who
declined to serve. Another Republican
could be elected to serve in his place,
were it not that the Alliance men are
ready to join with the Democrats in
electing man, and thus secure sufficient
strength in the Legislature to elect
Democratic U. s. Senator. Could the
Rock Island District member be counted
for the Republicans, both parties would
be on an equal footing, and the election
