The Assessment Bill.

A bill has passed the Senate for the
reassessment of property called to make i
sound more euphonioGs to the ear, th,
Hayes Bill. A more harsh and unjus
measure could not have been devised by
human brain, and it therefore behooye.
our representatives, ia the House to kill
it if there c-u be found any possible
means of doing 50 In saying this. We
DO not wish to be understood as advoca-
ting a hobby, as we have always opposed
any assessment measure at all, but we
speak in earnest appeal in behalf Of the
business portion of the people of our see
ton. We do not want any bill at all.
There is no necessity for it-there is
no property in this county untaxed r.
And to incur an expense Of not less than
about four thousand dollars, without re-
ceiving any practical good therefrom is
but an attempt to carry out an idea Dor
dering on insanity The plain fact will
be that our taxable basis will be reduced
as we have had occasion before to state,
and our tax rate will be increased, with
ou., in fact making the expense of taxa
ton any higher, but in reality injuring
the standard Of values before the bust
ness world by showing a heavy fall off in
the estimated worth Of our property
The cry is the majority party is pledged
to it. Suppose it IS Cannot a change
take place in the situation of affairs be-
tween the time of making a party pledge
and the time of the execution thereof. r.
When the promise of a new assessment
law was .1ade, business was
booming, values were high, and the peo-
Die of the State were anxious to make
better showing as to their actual worth,
and to reduce the tax rate But time
has brought about a change, and for the
worse. A reassessment now will not be
productive of that good which would
have followed a reassessment few years
ago The people see this and prefer a
postponement of the matter until the de-
preston in business now existing passes
away The politicians who expect to fiji
the countless number of offices which viii
necessarily be created if an assessment
bill passes the Legislature will not be
satisfied, but the people, to whom the
pledge of a reassessment was made, do
free the party in power from its obliga-
ton in this respect Our representatives
can be relied upon to do their duty when it
becomes plain before them, and we trust
they see their way clearly in this matter
and will show their fidelity to the people
who are trusting them with deep and
abiding faith, and not allow any flllacious
to induce them to vote for
any assessment measure whatever
If they will do so, then the so-called
Hayes Bill is not the measure wanted
1t is filed with incongruities, it is
a monstrosity of absurd ideas. and to sup
port it will put them in an unenyiable
position before all intelligent people.

The COUNTY seat Measure.

What about the county seat2 The
session Of the Legislature is drawing rap
idly to a close and little has been said
ald nothing has been done The people
are a unit iu the opinion that a change
Of the county seat is necessary and there
should be no disregard Of their wishes
by those intrusted with the power to
legslate upon the subject 10 saying
this, however. We 10 not wish to be IN
derstood as intending to impute to our
representatives, a motive to shirk the re-
possibility resting upon them in the
matter, but simply to call their attention

= proper way of arriving at a solution of
Che question as to where the new county
seat should be located: whether a law
should be passed removing it to the place

over tenacious of their rights even
though often the latter is imaginary.
and not real, are in favor of vote on the
subject, their wishes should be respected.
And apart from this promise was made
them that they should have this right
and there should be no betrayal of con

their impassionate moments They will
not forget their own interests in times Of
sober reflection. Let the Legislature
pass bill at once submitting the ques.

either La Plata or Chapel Point-tha
two places the people have agreed upon
as the most suitable, and at special

ward to prove how her spirit and behavior
varied with varying circumstances.
Presently the mueZZin began TO cry
plaintively from the minarets, and the
soldiers and citizens trooped off to the
mosques TO pray for pardon and victory,
leaving only a few men to look after the
beasts. AS my company in worship would
defile the sacred places OF Moslem, / also
remained behind.
When the worshipers returned from their
devotions, the baggage camels were put into
line and examined by the officers, the
horses and drOmedares being made ready
for their riders while the examination was
proceeding. Then came supper, and in
honor of the great occasion many sheep
were slaughtered and roasted whole over
big fires. The kissing carcasses had hardly
time to take brown crust when they were
torn asunder and eaten in huge mouthfuls
by a ravenous host, who washed down the
burning meat with copious drafts of
goats milk. AS did not care TO enter the
lists in such contest, contented myself
with piece of doughy bread, some dates
and a cup of coffee.
When the meal was over, a characteristic
ceremony was enacted. A calf only few
days old was led into the open space and
killed with a sword, its blood being made
10 flow inward toward the castle. The an
imaPs life extinct, every man who was to
accompany the expedition stepped solemn
ly over the body, which was then burned,
so that no dog or other unclean beast might
eat any part of the flesh. This is supposed
to bring good fortune, and an Arab army
could not be induced to take the field with
out first observing the sacrlhcial rite. The
calf safely cremated, the men Immediately
mounted their camels and horses and
wheeled into line Then Abou Kuram, go
ing TO the front, delivered "A short Grafton
on the glory of war and the bravery of his
soldiers, which evoked uproarious applause
from the flattered.
Ere it died away the kettledrums were
rattling and the cymbals clashing the adj
vance, and amid vociferous cries of God
save Abou kuram; God give the victory
to Abou kuram," the strangely assorted
troops swung slowly into line. The huge
serpentine procession wound tediously
through the narrow, tortuous streets, in
which two camelmen found il hard to
march abreast, but its tardy ceilings were
enlivened by the caperings and shoutings
of the mob who ran in front of us and hung
on our heels and, 10 their own immediate
peril, squeezed and pressed Oh both sides
of us.
On the outskirts OF the town the people
stopped, finding the pace on the open
ground beyond their capacity in running:
so they stood there and yelled themselves
hoarse with blessings and good wishes,
which we Acknowledged with resounding
cheers. As we deployed into open order for
greater ease in marching caught last
glimpse Of said Achmlt, who stood apart,
waving with his hands as If 10 signify he
had double interest in the receding col
umn. Both 1abal and myself waved our
adieu in return, and from me there went
with 10 a heartfelt LenpdictiOn.
