Fall Wraps tor the Girl,.

While heavy serges and smooth-faced
plain cloths are liked for cloaks or
coats, the large plaids, especially those
IN golden brown and scarlet, are much
in vogue for general outdoor wear. The
children who go out to play in the fresh
air require comfortable cloaks that will
not easily soil. and although they need.
as do all ones belongings. a certain
amount Of care. still a coat should be
possessed that does not make the little
wearer unhappy all the time. The
long plaid cloak, double breasted. closed
by serviceable buttons, and with a cape
or hood lined with bright color. Is
a most desirable one for the sort OF

The UITYs BURDEN.

The State Board OF Equalization met
at Albany yesterday. The table made
out by the State Assessors on which Is
based what IL called the Equalization"
sets down the local assessment OF New
York City real estate at SO per cent. OF
its full value. Our own Assessors, who
ought to know the value of New York
property better than the State As
SCISSORS. say the rate is really higher
than this.
1t Is announced that the increase
added to our assessed valuation this
year by the State Board is "only" sixty
eight million dollars, and we are told
that we ought to rejoice that 1t is
twelve millions less than last year.
Well, probably the man who is robbed
Of his watch has reason to be thankful
that the person who relieved him re-
Trains from taking his pocketbook as
well.
The State Boards report shows that
between 1891 and 1892 there was an
increase Of just upon one hundred
million dollars In the assessed value Of
real estate In the State, and an increase
Of a little over six millions In the assess
ment Of personal property.
Does not this prove how farcical is
the enforcement of the law taxing per-
sonal property?
The tax on real estate falls in a
great measure on the tenant, not on the
owner. The tax on personal property
falls on the owner.
Does not this exhibit strengthen Gov.
Flowers argument in favor of an in
come tax?

AN AMERICAN MOVEMENT.

Oklahoma Is American to the back

United States.
Where else would one hundred thou
sand people have gathered for a land
grabbing rush. taking their lives In
their hands. and at a given signal rae
ing and fighting to be the first to seize
upon quarter sections and town lots?
Where else would such a mad struggle
for precedence go on without a pause
despite the number of dead and wound
ed left In the rear?
Where else would a hundred towns be
started by the innowing multitude in
q day. and a score Of cities jump sud
denly into existence?
Where else could a single town spring
ing up. as 1t were. In a nights time, be
found with scores Of buildings In process
of construction, with a population of
twenty-five thousand persons. with a
bank opened in a wooden shanty and
with three daily and Ave weekly news

coming?
The doings Of the past four days
have been truly American. The eager
straining for an uncertain prize. the
recklessness Of human life. the indif-
ference to personal safety. the specula-
tive spirit that prompts the movement.
are all thoroughly American.
There are rumors that the opening OF
the Cherokee Strip to white settlers was
a Job. in which the Indian lobby at
Washington, the railroad corporations
and the land boomers were Jointly in
terested. Well. really, does that make
the Americanism of the whole business
any the less apparent?
