APAT ILLUsTRATION.

In an editorial advocating the passage
of the MARKHAM bill the GLOBE re-
Gently asserted that the president of
one of the land grant roads had kept
the title 10 a farm in his company, hold
ing it under contract. thereby evadipg
taxation. 1t is now in possession of
what it believes to be the facts, and it
gives them for the benefit of those men,
berS of the legislature who think that
the railroads interested are not ear
nastly opposing the MARKHAM bill, and
are really its promoters, hoping by it
to escape the gross earnings tax.
In one of the northwestern counties,
where a railroad has large holdings of
untaXed lands, it is the custom of the
assessors to list unimprOved lands at s.
an acre. The railroad selling its lands
on time gives ten years for payment,
oue-tenth payable annually. The as
SCISSORS have fallen into the custom of
assessing these lands thus sold at one
tenth their average value the first year,
two-tenths the next, and so on, on the
theory that the purchaser gets the fee
of a tenth of the land at each annual
payment. Thus quarter-sectiOn of
contract land would be listed at 1892,
while the decided land next it would be
listed at 1920.
The president of one or these land
grant roads has $4,000 acres Of land in
one of these counties. bought by him
some ten years ago and yet held, so far
as the records show, under a contract
only for its purchase. the title being
in the railroad company. For ten years
this land has been assessed and paio
taxes on valuation of one-tenth of the
average valuation, or at the rate Of
thirty cents an acre. the customary an
nual increase having been omitted in
his case for some reason. Last fail the
county commissioners raised the valua-
ton to 3 an acre, and representative
of the owner appeared before the board,
and. refusing TO say whether the land
was fully paid for or not, offered to per-
nit the land to be assessed at 81 an acre

vAMPIREs OF THE PRESS.

Nothing more irredeemably brutal
has disgraced recent journalism than Is
the attack made by Washington paper
and some correspondents of that city
on Senator ROACH, of North Dakota.
Briefly, they say that years ago, when
young man, he embeZZled some funds or
the bank in that city in which he was
employed, and fled to Dakota. The
GLOBE knows and cares nothing for the
truth or falsity of the story. 1t does
protest in the name Of decent and hon
orable journalism against this utterly
needless and only harmful revival OF
the story, if true 1t is the work of the
vampire that sucks blood because 1t
loves blood; of the ghoul that feeds on
carrion because it loves carriOn.
Grant it to be true that young ROACH
yielded to some temptation-yielded
weakly and fed to Dakota. He retained
his name, and did not seek to cloak his
scrime under an assumed one. He went
to work to build up a reputation there
as an honorable man. He engaged in
businesS-in the practice of the law.
He became eminent in it. He estab-
lished a reputation as ali honest, honor
able, trustworthy man, just as thou
sands of errIng young men before him
have done; just as the GLOBE hopes
thousands will do. He was elected to
the legislature; he was twice the candi-
date of his party for governor. He was
its nominee for United States senator
In all these fierce conflicts no man, no
paper spoke to say that he was aught
but an honest, honorable gentleman.
When he was elected senator all the
papers of his state, regardless of their
party, gave him that high praise. In a
state noted for its political corruption
he was admittedly clean-handed.
And while he was thus busily en-
gagged in trying to build over his youth
| full mistake the fabric of an honest,
reputable character-trying to bury it
beneath life of upright conduct-theSe
| ghouls were nursing the memory of it:
| g!oating over it; waiting for the oppor-
tunity to exploit it. Not to do a public
service: had that been their purpose,
| they would have told the story when the
| people of his state were being asked to
] 6ulIuSb lilCil llOuOl w bub
to glut their ghoulish appetites. 1t is
said that they would drive him from
the senate. They only emphasize his
wOrthiness to remain. He goes back to
his early home after years given to re-
deem his character from its one blot.
His very position is the full proof that
he has redeemed 1t. He is the more
trusty for it. He who falls and RECEIVERS
by his own strength Is the stronger for
the fall. After all, the vampires may
have unconseiously wrought good out
of their evil intent. There may be
many young man nerved by the recital
of this story to fresh effort to redeem his
life from the consequences of some fall
while treading the slippery places over
which most men go with more or less of
safety

THE STORM-

The snow storm, which bore down upon
us with some of the characteristics OF a
blizzard. spread over a wide area of the
Northwest, and possibly some loss OF
life has resulted in prairie districts. The
weather bureau indicated last night that
it would subside by this morning, and
that it would grow warmer today and be
pleasant tomorrow. 1t is hoped the
bureau is not in error. A storm like this
is not unreasonable in March, and gen.
orally when it prevails so early severe
weather does not continue long i'll the
spring season. March SHOWS are gem
orally good fertilizers, and probably
there are other good things which can
be said to excuse the weather for this
dido. Most of the trains have had the
remarkably good fortune to pull through
with no great loss of time.

Minnesota editors for their efforts, be-
cause am aware that their government
has some years been prying into my at
fairs AMI trying to get the secrets OF
the management of my bureau. When
that government has the audacity to
actually lombard me with powder and
dynamite, its editors may feel warranted
in doing so with their lighter artillery.
But have held my own against the
government quite successfully, and Its
endeay0rs have Only furnished me with
food for laughter. 1t has also excited
my admiration for the regularity with
which it makes, and the punctuality
with which its officers spend the appro-
priations, and the courage with which
they rise from each fresh overthrow.
In good time even your congress may
learn that mine is the only real original
weather bureau. aud that its secrets are
impregnably guarded.
In conclusion, permit me to advise you
and your brethren not to set out your
spring editorials so prematurely, nor to
take my orders to the north wind to
keen back, while let the sun and the
south winds reduce your snOwdrifts, as
a sure tip that spring is here.

A Big sc-Furnishing Company
Run by Assignees.


BosToN, March Is. The Atkinson
House-Furnishing company, with four
teen branches in other New England
cities, has made an assignment to
Charles +. Libby. of Portland, and c. c.
Converse, of Boston. President Isaac IL.
Atkinson says that the liabilities
are 81, 500,0 900, and the assets are eSti-
mated at 100000. The trouble was
caused by the stringency in the money
market and inability to meet call loan
Oh Saturday. Last year the company
did business of S3,000.000. President
Atkinson says the firm will probably
pay its debts In full. While the
greatest portion of the indebted
ness is to firms in Boston and
vicinity, there are number of cred
itors in New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago. The Atkinson HouseFurnish-
ing company is Maine corporation,
and has been doing very large bus
mess with its various branches, its head
quarters being at Portland. The as
signees have already taken prompt
measures to preserve the property in
tact for the creditors, and have taken
possession of the assets in several
states, and as soon as necessary state
ments can be prepared the creditors will
be called together.

INITIATING LEGISLATION.
Debate on a Resolution to Limit
the Senate's Action.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-The senate
discussed for nearly an hour today the
resolution offered last week by Mr..
Henderson. intended to limit the action
of the senate in the present extraordi-
nary session to executive matters or to
matters not requiring cooperation on
the part of the house. Mr.. German ia
vored that policy, but preferred to have
it take the form Of unanimous consent
rather than of a resolution. Objection
TO unanimous consent came from the
Democratic side of the chamber, and
the most strenuous opposition to the
resolution came also from that side.
The question finally went over without
any decision. and the senate adjourned
till Wednesday.

which greeted this sally somewhat as
tonished the Kentuckian, but when the
situation was explained to him he re-
trieved himself by saying: well. Mr.
President, did not recognize you be
cause you do not seem to be as large as
your pictures make you," at which the
president again smiled.
