An INVESTIGATION REQUIRED.

THERE Is great discrepancy be-
tween the valuations placed by the
County Assessor upon city property
and those made by tho CITY Assessor.
We believe this la pretty general. We
know that, in n great many instances,
property ia valued by the CITY Assessor
at least one third more than the
amount named by the County Asses
sor. This refers to improvements and
personal property as we'll as to real
estate.
A great many objections have been
formally made to the city aascssment
snd they are chiefly on that ground.
They have been referred to the Asses
sor. 1t is hardly probable that he will
make any changes, unless 1t can be
shown that no has made mn error In
regard to Aren, or the actual owner Of
property, or something Of that kind. 1t
seems TO us that the City Council
ought to look into the fact Of the gener-
nj discrepancy We have mentioned.
We notice that the County Court Of
Weber County has reduced the valua'
ton Of property fifteen per cent. below
the figures Mt which II was assessed. II
the taxpayer petition had been re-
ferfed TO the Assessor 1t Is not very like
ly they would have received any relief.
The City Assessor Is said TO be a
very competent officer. We do not
dispute that. But no IL working on a
pcr-centagc--a vicious and improper
system-and Ia under constant temp.
tation 10 keep up tho valuations Of
property. Apart from that, 1t Is not
probable that II he has placed property
generally at too high 4 figure he will
condemn his own work by making a
general reduction. The Council
ought TO take the matter up on it, gen.
oral merits.
The City Attorney has expressed the
opinion In tho case OF some OF the
bankers, that As they did not supply q
sworn statement Of their property as
tho law provides, they cannot now
claim any reduction OF the figures at
which 1t Ia placed by the Assessor. or
course that is according TO the letter oi
tho law. But will It hold good IN
competent court7 II the Assessor has
placed fictitious value ON piece Of
vtoperty,it being 10 his personal benoht
TO make II "a high m possible, Ia there
no remedy for the wrong? We believe
there Ia, Notwithstanding the failure Of
the owner to MI up blank supplied by
the Assessor, which the taxpayer may
OF may not have received.
Only that which is fair and reason.
able and for the general welfare should
prevail In tho matter OF taxation.
Property ought to bear itu just burdens.
There will always bo objections TO as.
sessments while selHshness exists In
tho human breast and society con.

excess ought not to be permitted nni
injustice ought not TO prevail, whether
It DO for the personal benefit Of an
officer, or for the expected needs Of u
government. The City Council as u

A BIGGER BID.

IT seems that the Idaho Democracy
has taken step which Ia meant to he
bigger bid for the "Mormon" vote in
that State than that made by the Re.
pnblicAua. Whether II will prove to
be 80 reality will remain to be seen.
The committee on resolutions, APP
pointed by the Boise convention, are
reported Ms having agreed on the an-
nexed as n plank Ia tho platform Of tho
party:

"BRADsrREET's" review OF the wool

2Oth, 1899, IA ar follows:

ROBBED BY CHANGERS.
-Four Butler County, Kansas, Farmers
Hold Up q Frisco Train.

-Four Butler County, Kansas, Farmers
Hold Up a Frisco Train.
The above are the exact words Of
the headlines of a dispatch found
in the Topeka Capital August %,
1892. The dispatch is from Wichita,
and gives an account of the at
tempted train robbery near there on
the Saturday night previous, and the
arrest of the would be robbers.
Last week the ADVOCATE scored the
republican press for it's glaring asSer-
tions that the miscreants were farm
ers and Peoples party men. The
Capital, claiming to represent the
whole republican press, flies up and
says it is not true that the crime was
laid to Peoples party men, and adds:
"In fact the republican papers are
not even responsible for the story
that the robbery was committed by
farmers" Notice the brszen effront-
cry Of this representative Of republi-
can purity.
Every newspaper is responsible for
the headlines in its news columns.
No associated press or special news
reporter is authorized to send head
lines with his dispatches. They are
written at the Office where the dis
patches are set in type Now, what
was the object Of the above head
lines, if not to mislead the public and
create false impression as to who
the criminals were? Unless the
stand-up Capital receives its tele-
graph news by freight it is response
bic for it's share of this imposition.

he must be the best man in the ma
tion, else he could not be a winner.
Bot how many could give a really
valid reason why they should rejoice
over the election. The enthusiasm
passed and as time went on the new
president proved himself to be a very
ordinary sort Of man in point OF
ability, but scarcely an official act OF
his tended TO show that his heart beat
in sympathy with the people who
made up the great torch-light pro-
cessions. He was not in touch with
them. Then came the time for the
party to again nominate man for the
same Office, and The wise men saw that
it would be better to retire ths hero
of 'S8. But the people who had
profted by the Harrison administrs-
tion would listen to nothing Of the
kind. And then there were the hero
worshippers, very similar to those
who worshipped at the shrine Of Sulli-
van; they were at the convention to
yell for the white house pigmy and he
was renominsted.
These are wandering reflections,
not intended for argument, and we
leave the reader to continue them. If
he can tell why the people grow en-
thusiastic over the success of selfish
individuals, he can then tell us, per-
hsps, how much more principle is
involved in the contest between Hsrri-
son and Cleveland than was in the
contest between Sullivan and Corbett.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-14

for all the prosperity that has been
in the past twenty-five years and all
that is to come in the future. Should
il occur, through the interference Of
providence or some unimsginable
force, that congress at it's next session
should ignore the president and his
money gambler friends, and should
bring relief to the people as that other
congress did, the republicans would
still claim the credit for it.

ABOUT RETURNS.

Local COMMITTEES should see that
men are appointed to witness the
count Of the vote in every voting pre-
Cinct in the state. As soon as it is
completed the result should be noted
and a record kept of it. The chair
man of the state central committee
will make arrangements to receive
the returns on the night Of the cleo
tion, and give information to those
who desire it in various parts Of the
state. Now a word in regard to this.
Let committees and others remember
in their anxiety to get news of the
election, that the chairman cannot
furnish news that he does not receive
In 1890 there were numerous in
stances Of men telegrsphing for
election news who failed to send
the result tU the committee from
their own voting precincts. How
such men expected the chairman OF
committee to furnish the information
they desired is mystery. We men
ton this matter thus early in order
that there may be ample time to per
feet all arrangements this year for
the prompt transmission of election
news. Do not fail to recognize the
Importance either OF keeping record
of the vote in every precinct We
should not only know the result in
every precinct, but we should know
that it is right and be able to verify
it if called upon to do so. This is
important and should be attended
to without fail.

THE SHAM BATTLE WILL NOT WIN.

The "sham battle over the tariff
is not the success it was expected to
be in diverting the attention of the
people from questions of finance.
While the Peoples party does not
believe it either right or just to levy
tribute upon one class Of American
citizens to enrich another class, it
does not recognize this as the su-
preme issue in this campaign. The
free coinage of silver, more money,
and the abolition of banks of issue,
are the questions of the hour. The
power to control the volume of money
in circulation cannot be safely en-
trusted to a corporation whose inter
est il is to make that volume as small
as possible, and the power to coin
money and fix the value thereof must
be resumed by congress and exercised
in the interest of the whole people
instead of in the interest of the few,
as it is under the present system.

Two years ago the alliance was a farmers
party. Then the demagOgues got hold Of lt and
changed 1t into the Peoples party. To makethe
change more apparent they have not nominated
farmer for an important Offlce.-LGlOrence
Daily World,
What do you want to lie for? You
know well enough the alliance is not
a party, nor was it two years ago or
at any other time. You know too, if
you know anything about the matter,
that we have no less than four farm
ers on our state ticket. Your repub-
licsn press labored very hard two
years ago to prejudice business men
against the Peoples party on the
ground that it was exclusively q
farmers party and had no regard for
the interests of any other class of
people. Now since we have nomi-
mated some business men on our
ticket, thereby proving the fslsehood
of your former pretense, you seek to
prejudice farmers against the party
on the ground that it is not q farm
ers party. Have you nothing but
prejudice upon which to base your
campaign?

SOME paper wonders what Harrison
will say in his annual message, since
he has covered the whole ground in
his letter of acceptance. The fact is,
if he makes up his mind to touch upon
some point the people want to hear
discussed from a presidential stand
point he will find plenty to say, but
if he persists in evadlng important
issues and chewing over the guilds
his predecessors have spit out, we ad-
NIT that it will sound rather stale.
However, he will only have that to
do once more.

Mr.. PEsTANA, the straw candidate
against Baker in the Sixth, said in a
speech at Jewell City on the I'd: "The
republicans stand to-day where the
democrats stood sixty years ago."
We are willing to give this would.be
statesman credit for having meant
something he did not express. He
certainly did not mean to cast such a
slur at Jacksonisn democracy, but if
he wanted to show how far his party
was behind the procession he should
have said they stand about where the
Philistines stood some years before
JsCkson's time.

WHEN you hear a republican boast
ing that his party has built up the
business interests Of the country, re-
mind him of the fact that they had
demonetized silver once before and
maintained the gold basis dear money
policy to such an extent that Presi-
dent Hayes was compelled to veto a
silver bill or be denounced by his
party; that he did veto it and that a
congress that was not made up Of
traitors and purchsssble merchandise
as later congresses have been, passed
the silver bill over the presidents
head, and saved the country from the
fearful ruin which our highest su-
thorities on finance and political econ
omy say was pending. Yet republi-
cans have the Sudacity to claim credit

bett. The incidents connected with
the fight do tend to bring forcibIy to
mind the fact that the hour Of defeat
is the time to test true friendship;
that man may lose in q minute all
that he has gained in a lifetime; that
the sporting fraternity, as a rule, con-
slider success the only tie that binds;
that whisky will get the best Of any
man who will stay with it; that a man
may be brute and still be hero 80
long as he can win; that all things
come to him who waits, provided he
doesnot wait. on the wrong side; that
the man who acts the gentleman gets
the respect Of refined people, while
the drunken bully and wife beater is
fawned upon by a very large class
who pretend to be respectable. And
above all, while we are imbued with
the conviction that prize fighting is q
very immoral and british practice, we
are compelled to admit that on last
Wednesday night the attention Of a
large percentage Of the American
people was centered on the fight at
New Orleans.
1t is strange that so many people
forget that which concerns them most
and attend to that which concerns
other people most. And it is strange
that they will allow their animal in-
stinCts and their human passions to
overcome their common sense and
lead them away from their better ma
ture. Here is another example: A
Few days ago a horse trotted a mile
in less time than it had ever been
trotted before. Thousands Of people |
witnessed it and nine-tenths Of them
seemed to go crazy. They cheered
themselves hoarse, rushed onto the
track and hugged the animal and her
driver. What for? The mares sue
cess was no money in their pocket,
except the few who had bet on the
trot. What benefit was that lower
ing Of the record to them? They be-
came excited because those few who
were making money out Of it were ex-
cited. It was so in the Sullivan Cor
bett prize fight and in every other
fight A few sporting men who have
peCunisry interest in the result
work up such an excitement that half
the people in the nation are shouting
for one side or the other before they
know it. True, there were few sup
porters Of Corbett who wanted to
see him defeat Sullivan because the
latter had proven to be bully and q
blackguard, and there were just sS
good people who wished to see Sulli-
van remain the champion because
they did not know why, unless it was
because they had been cheering Sull-
van for some years and they did not
want to change of.
One cannot avoid being led into
politics by his own thoughts on this
subject. Nearly four years ago Mr..
