country: and after the election of Cleve-
land the prediction was freely made by
the Republican press that the people
would lack confidence in the new adj
ministratiOn and financial crisis fol-
low.
During FosTER's last days In the
treasury there was such constant
drain upon the free gold that the secre-
tary seemed almost to have lost his
head. He was clearly at loss to know
what to do.
III there was any want or confidence
in the new administration, there was
never more favorable opportunity for
a development into panic than when
Mr.. CARLISLE stepped in. But the mat
ter turned Just the other way.
There is another gratifying feature to
this. The Western bankers have had
an opportunity to show that the nation
is no longer at the mercy of Wall street.
and they have improved it royalty. The
power of Wall street is broken, let US
hope, forever. 1t can never again thrust
upon the nation "Black Friday" The
Western bankers have reached the
front, and are able to stand between the
nation and harm from New York. 1t is
a grand victory for the West, and glory
for the nation.

JoHNsoN's HARD LUCK.
He Is Robbed and Thrown From a
Train,

PITrsBURG, March Is. = Andrew
Johnson, Swede. who started from
Chicago with his family on Tuesday, i'll
tending TO return to his old home, had
through tickets to New York and 81, 500
in money. Shortly after the train left
MaSsilOn, o., he was missed, and today
he was found wandering near MaSsilon,
o. He was in a daZed condition and
badly injured. After coming to him
self he said that he was robbed by two
men on the train as he was passing
with them from one car to another and
thrown from the platform. The rob-
bers took all but $I4 of the money
Johnson had when he left Chicago. His
family is stranded in this city and is be-
ing cared for By the Pennsylvania rail-
road officials.
His fourteen-year-old daughter says
that her father was talking to four men
and that he came to her and said the
men wanted him to play cards. He told
her he did not like their looks and said
he was afraid they might take his ticket
from him. His money, he said, was
safe. After giving her the tickets he
went into the smoking car and the men
soon followed him. The authorities are
included to believe that the strangers
were gamblers who had become &C.
qualnted in Chicago with the fact that
johnson was possessed of large sum of
money, as he had upward of 81 500 with
him, and he probably displayed it when
purchasing his tickets.

SNOW IN KANSAS.
An Incipient Blizzard Raging in
the SunnoWeP State.

KANSAS CITY, March 16.-A heavy
snow storm began operations here about
go o'clock this morning, and at noon the
snow is still falling. The indications
are excellent for continuance of the
storm and its development into full
fledged blizzard. Dispatches from Kan
sas show that the storm is general oyer
all that state. The storm has brought a
cold wave accompaniment, this time
from the east, and in some localities the
wind is drifting the snow badly.
MARsHALLTowN, To-, March 16.-Fine
snow has been falling for several hours,
with the wind northeast. and indica-
tons point to one of the worst storms of
the season.
KINGSTON, n. Y, March 16.-Super-
visor Jones, of the town of Hardenburgh,
Ulster county, was in town today, and
says the snow in the woods in that town
is from six to eight feet deep. Resi-
dents who are compelled to go out of
doors go about OH snowShoes, and many
voters went in that way to town meet
ing last week. There has been no
church or Sunday school in that town in
several months. In places the SNOW
drifts are as high as the barns.

THE CAPITOL AND TAXES.

The burden of the song of most of the
members who took part in the debate
on the new capitol bill was that their
people objected to any increase of taxa
ton. These members represented in
the main districts chiefly agricultural:
the members from districts having the
larger cities with about the same una
nimity supporting the bill.
For the benefit of the former class of
DIRECTORS, let US see where this two
tenths of a mill of added taxation will
fall. AS it will be extended over Sc
ries of ten years at least, and as the
rate of progress for the next ten will
approximate the rate for the past ten,
we give from the state auditors reports
some Interesting figures, which will re-
pay careful study in connection with
the bill.

LIGHTWEIGHT GOLD.
Denver Banks Will Lose on Their
Exchange.


DENVER, March 16.-There is hitch
in the contemplated exchange of S1,O00.-
600 in gold for like amount of currency
as proposed by the Denver banks and ac-
cepted by Secretary Carlisle. Should
the negotiations be completed on the
present basis the Denver banks would
Quit losers on the transaction not less
than $1,000. The all-impOrtant Ques-
ton at present with the eleven
banks which comprise the Den
yer Clearing House association is
OH what basis of weight the government
will accept the Sl,O00,000 gold coin-
whether standard or current weight.
The difference between the two is con-
siderable. The director of the mint at
Washington has been queried by wire
on this subject, and his reply will de-
eide what Denver'S banks propose 10
do. The government. already having
deposited its Sl,000,000 in currency at
Denver mint, preparations for weighing
an equal amount in gold coin began
Yesterday. ii was found that there was
a depreciation of Sl1 on every 5000.
The banks will probably stand by theit
contracts whether they lose or not.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Senators
Wolcott and Teller, of Colorado, called
this morning and lad an interview with
Secretary Carlisle on the subject of the
light weight Denver, Col, gold. The
secretary pointed out the statutes to
them regulating his action in the prem
ises. ana the government officers at
Denver were telegraphed not to accept
light weight gold except by weight.
The law provides that gold more than
one-haIf of per cent below the stand
ard weight of tolerance. which is 25s
grains to the dollar, cannot be accepted
by the treasury department at its face
value, but only by its actual weight.

Wharves Under Water at Haver-

HAvERHILL, Mass, March 16.-There
is heavy freshet in the Merrimac river
here. Wharves are under wafer. and
at some points the easements of build
ings along the river front are flooded
with water NJ. d. Chase & Co.'S
lumber wharf is submerged, and
their large stock of lumber is in
danger of floating off. The river

which has been carried down by the

the solid Ice below the HaverhiIl bridge.
The fear is that the ice, which must

the city and cause a flood of baekwater,

WHERE THE CAT WILL JUMP,


Six additional judges at $4,000 each a
year is feature of the appellate courts
bill. Fifth wheels are proverbially use
less, and the judicial fifth wheels are
not only useless, but deucedly ex-
pensive.
But right there is where the cat
will jump. The bill will be discussed
gravely, and as soberly as if it were a
real, bOna-fide affair. The old, sad tale
of overworked Justices growing pale
over the midnight incandescent lamps
will be related with all changes. Then
some economist will rise to protest in
the name of his taX-ridden constituents
against the expense. just as some of
them are doing about the capitol bill.
Then some lambllke member, who
wouldn't be suspected Of sucking eggs,
will blandly suggest that the right way
to do it will be to put two more justices
on the supreme bench. Six judges ct
5000 will be $4,000, while two more
justices will be only $4,000, thus saving
$4,000 year from the taX-ridden afore-
said. Besides, if there is too much
work for five men, the simplest way
possible would be to give them two
more men to help them out. There will
be such profound wisdom in this, and
the economy will be so apparent, that all
will wonder why the learned author OF
the bill didn't think of it in the first
instance.
Having reached this point, some one
will move an amendment or substitute
to the bill. providing for two more JUS
tees. The dcmure author will accept
it,with the qualification made by him or
some one in the game, to leave their APP
pointments with his excellencN This
is where the mouse appears, and right
here just watch for the cat to jump.

Ashley, of the Ann Arbor railroad, and
State Railway Commissioner Kirby, act

the points in dispute between the
company and the strikers. but
the announcement was made from Chief
Arthur and the committee that the
brotherhood will not accept the agree
ment as it stands. All negotiations for
a compromise have been declared off,
and it is apparently war to the knife now
between the brotherhood and the CON-
pany. The strikers have shown re-
markable change of front in their atti-
tude toward Commissioner Klrkby.
Alter agreeing to stand by him in what
ever settlement lie made with the COM
pany. they turn round now and
charge him with having betrayed
their cause" They allege that
he neglected one of the most important
considerations of the attempted COM
promise. namely, that all the men
should be taken back to work without
prejudice. Chief Arthur made the
statement this evening that the en-
gineers on the other roads connecting
with the Ann Arbor VIII refuse
to take any freight from that line, and
that if one or any Of them is discharged
for that purpose a general strike will
result. President Ashley says that his
company Will have much freight to
move tomorrow morning, so that the
prospective trouble is likely to COM
mence at that time.

City lots, 81 per cent of realty values.

Acre lands, 43 per cent or realty values.
Should the acre lands of the state only
maintain their rate of increase, their
valuation in 1900 will be about 1920. 000,-
900. Should the advance in the valua-
ton of city lots for the same time be re-
duced third, say to 200 per cent, their
valuation would be about $3.50. 900, 600.
They would pay Is per cent of the tax
then, as against the 81 per cent they
now pay.
This calculation excludes personal
property valuations. because there IS no
separation in the tables between that
kind of property in cities and country.
1t is safe to say that the cities furnish
over 90 per cent of the personal prop
erty values to the assessors.
1t appears, then, that the cities IN
creasingly pay the larger share of the
taxes: the cOuntry's share is proper
tlonately diminishing. Should not the
willingness of those who pay far the
larger part have some weight-be de-
ferred to?
