With reference to the killing OF
}. l.. New berry by old man Nolan
in Luna valley, as reported III the
Democrat two weeks ago, it would
seem that nothing has ever been
done. Nolan and Newberry had
been on bad terms for year or
more. The difficulty which finally
led to the shooting grew out of the
killing of some cattle by Nolan for
breaking into his fields, and some
disparaging remarks which New
berry was reported to have made
about Nolan's wife. Nolan says
that Newberry fred two shots be-
fore he could get his Winchester
into working order. 1t is said that

of the killing and buried the body
without the formallty of an inquest,

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
THE ANNTAL SHOWING.

As will be seen by comparative syn
Opsis of the Assessors returns, so far as
reported. some townships have made a
slight gain in the amount of personal
property listed for taxation, while others
sustain a decrease in the totals. In the
essentially rural townships are the gains,
while in all the towns of larger size
there is a marked falling off. Where
there is a decrease in the farming com
munities it is directly traceable to re
duction in the amount of stock on the
farm, but happily of those now reported
nearly all make gain. The falling off
in the towns is a matter of surprise. The
decrease in Bellaire and Martins Ferry,
while not directly obtainable, the books
being in the hands of the Boards OF
Equalization, is heavy. From the face
of the figures presented there seems to
be but two logical conclusions. First,
that the farmers are honest in making a
return of all property, or that they are
making some money; and, second, that
the town population is cOncealing prop
erty from the Assessor, or that they
are spending more than they are making
The reason advanced that the increase of
the exemption from so to 800 is the
cause will not hold water. People always
did claim an exemption three or four
times the amount of that legally allowed
4 little close scrutiny of the closets of
some people in the larger towns might
materially increase the tax list.

TILE NEK PARTY(N

As was was patent from the start the
National union conference at Cincinna-
ii constructed a platform, declared a
new party born, and, having christened
the infant, adjourned. The party, if
such it is, will waddle under the pom
derous appellation of the Peoples party
of the United States of America. A
strained effort was made to define a
bond of unity drawing together the diff
ferent interests and elements represent
ed, and the result is platform com
piled from all the political vagaries ex-
tant. No great and enthusing principle
was enunciated. There is nothing in
the platform to commend it to the peo-
pie at large. 1t takes no new position
on any point, and with the exception of
two per cent. loans, probably every
feature has been before the people at
one time or another. 1t reyives depart
ed fallacies and parades them as new.
The animus of the whole convention
was hostility to, as they termed it, the
money power. Yet, all their efforts
were to devise a scheme for transfer
ring the "money power" to themselves.
The platform is simply a revival of the
soft money Stiffness, with a few com
mendable but more idiotic amendments
added. The two per cent. loan plank is
worthy of emanating from congress
of mendicants. The farmers of Ohio
are not paupers, and that they will en-
dorse any such scheme is unworthy of
thought The declaration in favor of
paying pensions in gold coin was gotten
up only as as a salve for other CALLING
resolutions.
That the party will cut any figure is
wholly improbable. 1t comes bearing
the traditions of other third parties
which have sprung up and as suddenly
died. There are no leaders of brains in
the movement; there is no principle un-
derlying it. Only the enthusiasm at its
birth was formidable The discordant
elements composing cannot harmonize
and hold together. Such condition is
impossible. Even at the start it could
not assimilate prohibition, and that was
bluntly discarded. The name contains
no magic. All parties are parties of
the people. 1t has nothing new on
which to build. At the best the move
ment is but an annex to. Democracy,
and no Republican will desert the tried
and true principles and seek after
strange gods. Like other movements
that have preceded it, having no cause
for its beginning and no foundation to
support the superstructure, it must fall
by its own heaviness.
