MONTEREY PROPERTY.
Its Assessed Valuations 0verhauled by
State EquaIizers.
An Increased Acreage of Assessabl'
Land Over Last Year-The sheep
Crop QuadrupIed.

Monterey County was represented be-
fore the State Board of Equalization yes
terday by its Deputy Assessor NJ. X.
Merritt, and Supervisors II. Samuels and
L. j. Fields.
During the day the valuations of the
Assessor We're compared with those OF the
Auditor of the county, and the roll OF this
year compared in various particulars with
that of last year.
Among the showings made was that OF
an increase of 1910 acres of assessable
land, which was valued at 81 per acre, or
$l4,620. This land was called rough and
scantily improved and cultivated.
While but 5000 sheep were given in
last year the roll this year shows, includ-
ing lambs, 81 1884, 33344 valued at $59.623, while
other stock enumerated showed material
change.
Crops in certain portions of the county
were represented as being failures this
year, while in other quarters there was
tair yield.
Various comparisons Of lands were
made to get at just values, and the sta
tIstics of the Assessor of the county were
generally overhauled.
The process of assessing different grades
of land in the same farm or section was
discussed at length, and the method of
Assessors in segregating the various
grades OF land and valuing them sepa-
rately, for the benefit of Supervisors and
other inspectors Of the assessment rolls,
was commended.
Where a body of land is assessed as
body at so much for so many acres, it
gives no clear estimate of the value OF the
better land, and unless the inquirer is
familiar with the land he can arrive at no
reasonable estimate of the value OF it,
except as it may be thought to average.
The representatives of the county ac-
knowledge some cases where the assess
ment OF lands seemed too low, and
pointed out others that were maniiestly
high. but various conditions were cited
why this should appear so. They con-
average up very well.
AS in other cases, the board reserved
final action until later date.

LYNCHING.

Frederick Douglass on the Lynchine.
of Negroes In the South.
No people can long endure the shame
and disgrace of lynch law. The South,
which has been compelled to keep step
with the music of the Union. will also be
compelled to keep step with the music
OF the nineteenth century, which is pre-
emlnently century of enlightment and
progress. The grand moral forces of this
century no barDariSm can withstand
They met serfdom in Russia, and it fell
before them. They Will meet our bar
barlSm against color, and 1t will fall
before them. | am the more ENCOURAGED
IN this belief because, in various parts of
the North, and especially in the State Of
Massachusetts, where fifty years ago
there existed the same prescription which
at the present time prevails in the South,
all men are now treated as equals before
the law, and are accorded the same civil
rights. L, however, freely confess that
the present prospect has for me gloomy
side. When men SOW the wind it is
rational to expect that they will reap the
whirlwind. 1t is evident to my mind
that the negro Will not always rest a pass
i've subject TO the violence and bloodshed
by which he is now pursued. If neither
law nor public sentiment shall come to
his relief. he will devise methods of his
own.
1t should be remembered that the NEGRO
is man, and that in point of intelligence
he is not what he was hundred years
ago. Whatever may be said of his failure
to acquire wealth, it cannot be denied
that he has made decided progress in the
acquisition of knowledge; and he is a
poor student of the natural history of
civilization who does not see that the
mental energies of this race, newly
awakened and set in motion, must con-
tinue to advance. Character, with it's
moral influence; knowledge, with it's
power; and wealth, with its respectable
ity, are possible to it as well as to other
races of men. In arguing upon what will
be the action of the negro in case he con-
tinues to be the victim of lynch law, l
accept the statement often made in his
disparagement,t that he is an initiative
being; that he will do what he sees other
men do. He has already shown this ia
cility, and he illustrates it all the way
from the prize ring to the pulpit; from
the pillow to the professors chair. The
voice of nature, hot less than the Book of
books, teaches Us that oppression can
make even wise man mad, and in such
case the responsibility Tor madness will
not rest upon the man but.upon the OBJ
preston to which he is subjected. Fred
erick Douglass in the North American
Review.

The Magnificent BoodIers of LONG
Ago.
When l.. Calpurnius Piso was an
pointed Governor of Macedonia for one
year, he drew for his outfit from the pub-
lie treasury 100000 sesterces, or 9I5O,-
! 900. de did not want the money for that
purpose; everything required by a pro-
consul was supplied to him by the prov
ince. Piso simply took the money for
himself, and lent it out in Rome at high
! interest. 9. Verres was charged by Cicero
with having robbed Sicily of $3.50, 600 in
three years, besides many valuable works
OF art. He practically admitted his guilt
by retiring from Rome without attempt
ing any defense. Cicero, when Governor
of the poor province of Cilicia, found
himself the richer in one year by 600. 600.
and he was, perhaps, the only pro-consul
who ever handed over his surplus to the
State.
There can be no doubt that Cicero and
the younger Pliny received large sums
from their clients while those clients were
still living. BalbuS is not likely TO have
secured the argument OF "Pro Balbo'' for
a mere tritie; and the gratitude OF Sicily,
for the prosecution of Verres, undoubt-
eddy took a very substantial form. Apart
from all such hOn0rdrjd, it is recorded
that both Cicero and the younger Pliny
/ received legacies from clients to the
amount of $4,000. Gibbon tells us on
the authority Of Olympiodorus, that
several OF the richest Senators had an in

! ing the stated provision of corn and

SPEEDY TWO-YEAR-OLDS,
A Sacramento Colts Fine Performance
at Napa,

at Napa.
Horsemen who returned yesterday
from the Napa races were enthusiastic in
their praises of the Sacramento two-year-
old stallion George Dexter, owned by
Messrs. Buchanan & Carragher. The
colt forced the Palo Alto filly Bell Bird
so hard in the second heat that if the lat
ter had been obliged to go another eighth
of mile he would have beaten her, and
she is strong early two-year- l.,
which trotted in 2:264 while classed as a
yearling.
The second heat at Napa was made in
2:303, the track being very slow. On a
fast track the tilly would doubtless have
equaled her record and Dexter have gone
below the thirty mark, as he was but a
few lengths behind her.
There is some talk of the State Fair
Directors offering purse for two-year-
olds, and if so those who are present will
see fine contest, as the Sacramento colt
is game little fellow who never quits,
and there are several others in his class.
