FIRST Ob IHk Biz DEALSs
One Of the first of the sensational deals in
Richmond Terminals career came In 1885,
1t was a complete reversal of the controlling
power. What was known as the First Ma
tlouai Bank party had held the control of
the Richmond and Danville stock and car
ried it through the panic period of 1884,
This party embraced George 8. Scott,
Messrs. Baker and Fahnestock of the bank
IN question, and w. z. Clyde. In the fall
OF 1856 Alfred Sully, Gen. T. NJ. Logan and
others heavily Interested in the Terminal
company declared that members OF
the First National Bank party who were
directors in both the Danville AID the Ter
mlnal companies were making the Terminal
subservient to the Danville They de-
manded change OF management. After
one OF the most brilliant and dashiuR cam
paigns ever fought in the street the Logan
Sully party secured a controlling amount of
the Danville stock. The bank party under
estimated the strength of their opponents
and undertook to force them TO liQuidate.
Being in absolute control, the bank party
threw the block of Danville stock out Of the
company's treasury upon the market The
Sully party bought it all and Thus secured
majority of the Danville stock. Under the
laws OF Virginia the holders Of the majority
OF the shares of corporation could elect
new directors at any meeting, and the
Sully party at once called a special meet

buy from them the balance Of the Danville
stock which they individually beld they re-
tired from the field. Mr.. Sully became
president and the Terminal became the
owner OF the Danville company, which up

g LOUISIANA TO-DAY.

The long-brewing election in Louis
lana comes under the wire today, and
II there are some bruised heads among
the assets it will not be surprising. The
campaign commenced fully two years
ago, and has been kept at high tenn
perature ever since. The Republicans
are hoping, with some reason appar-
entity, to slip in between the two Dem
ocratic tickets. 1t is true they are also
divided, but one OF their tickets does
not represent much except WAR
MOTH, the oiliceholders and the
white Republicans. There are about
100000 colored voters. and it IS eX-
pected that at least three-fourths
of them will vote for the other
Republican ticket. AS there are not
more than 100000 white Democrats, and
several thousand of them are in the AL
lance party, the fifth in the field with a
ticket, anything like an equal division
of the remainder between the two Dem
Ocratic tickets leaves big chance for
the colOred troops to take the political
fort. In that event the Republicans
tlatter themselves that the Democratic
factions will be madder than ever at
each other, and be foolish enough to
run two electoral tickets and give the
state to HARRISON. That is not prob
able, however. but guesses a few days
later will be easier.

THE BLACK HILLS.

The resolutions offered by Capt. CAS-
TIE which the chamber Of commerce
adopted at its meeting yesterday morn
ing call attention TO IL notable cOndi-
ton Of affairs. In the early days, be-
fore any railroads al all ran into the
Black Hills, the stage line, which was
the only means OF transportation to that
region, was operated by ST. Paul men
In the interest of this city. Since then
the Hills have developed maryelOusly,
and become the seat Of large and rich
population The mineral wealth OF the
region is daily proved greater than the
most sanguine prospectors had hoped
for, and at the same time fields Of per
petual fertility are being there brough t
under cultivation. The trade Of the
section is estimated as being annually
in the neighborhoOd of $l5, 900, 900, but,
IN spite OF our early intimacy with the
district, we get none Oft. 1t all now goes
to either Chicago or Omaha, simply be-
cause there isnO railroad connection with
the Twin Cities. The people of the
Hills are largely from st. Paul, and
they would prefer TO do business with
us, but a stretch of 100 miles from Pierre
to Rapid City separates them from the
nearest lines running 10 this point. A
road covering this interval has for some
time been projected. and is partially
graded. but the monetary stringency Of
year ago interrupted the construction.
The plan now is to push il to compile
ton, ano the chamber of commerce has
expressed its hearty Endorsement of the
move. The GLOBE agrees with the
chamber of commerce. and commends
the matter to the attention and support
of our local capitalists. 1t will be a
happy day for st. Paul when this valu
able field is opened to its merchants.

REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT.

The GLOBE publishes in full in an-
other column this morning a communi-
cation addressed by w. A. SoMERs, OF
the assessors Office, to the board of
county commissioners. Its purpose is
TO suggest an accurate and economical
method of arriving at the values of the
260, 900 separate pieces of real estate in
St Paul oil basis OF taxation. Mr..
SONIERs' plan, as outlined in his letter,
will probably be little obscure to the
hasty reader. but the Importance of the
subject will justify its close study. Pay
lug taxes is an ungrateful ordeal at the
best, but it is an intolerable one when
the citizen feels that the share imposed
on him is inequitable. A careful exam
ination of the assessors books will show
that the valuations heretofore used have
been mere gueSseS, and not very intelli-
gent guesses at that. In many cases
two adjoining lots of identical shapes
and sizes have been rated at widely
varying figures, the owner in one
case paying largely in excess of what
Is right, and in the other case escaping
ton of these inequalities is that the
work has been too vast to be done cor
rectly unless reliable system is adopt
ed and followed. Such a system Mr..
SoMERs has undertaken to devise. I'm
der its application the chances of error
will be reduced to minimum because
the calculation In any instance will be
simple and mathematiealiy correct Be-
tween now and the 18th of July the en-
tire city has to be reassessed. and the
values thus determined will be incapa-
BILE of revision until after another inter
val of two years. 1t will be serious
matter if the hap-hazard blows in tile
dark are again repeated. The GLOBE
is glad that the county commissioners
have referred Mr.. SoMERs' communica-
ton to committee for examination,
and that they propose to take it up for
further consideration before the end of
the week.
