temple, one of the tallest, as we'll as
most costly, business blocks in Chi
cago, or in the world, is worth to-day
4 million dollars. If you think that
price high, try to buy it for less of the
syndicate of wealthy men that ownsit.
What is the assessed valuation Of the
Masonic temple on the assessors
booksP Exactly $25O,OOO one six
teenth the actual value.
One-quarter on the modest dwelling;
one-sixteenth on the rich syndicate
building, erected for the enrichment
of its owners. =
Question-Why is not the Masonic
temple assessed at one.quarter its real
value, or $25O,OOO, and taxes multi
pld by fourP
Answer (by many rich property own
ers)-Because it would be an outrage, a
confscation, and would destroy the in.
Vestment. Right, perhaps, but
QuestiOn-Why is not the Boersen
property let off with an assessment of
one-sixteenth and Boersen's taxes di-
vided by fourP
Answer (by the same)-Oh, well, we
must raise our taxes somehow and
Boersen is one of the poor devils who
have been paying their taxes land a
part of our own so long they don't
feel it.
Right again. But what have the
"poor devils" to say about itP When
do they get tired of paying the rich
fellows taxesp
And so of the general government
which has drawn between 1900 and
$4,000 millions of dollars from the peo-
pie since the Inauguration of the prod
igal and prohigate policy which has
been in vogue since 1865, and under
laws which don't compel people to pay
in proportion to their means or to the
amount Of property protected, but in
proportion to their consumption of the
nee essaries of life. And thus the Ia.
borer with large family often pays
more under the tariff for the support
of government than his more wealthy
neighbor who is not forced to labor for
his support. Take two men, one with
81 600 and the other 100000, and sup
pose each consume the same quantity
of tariff protected goods on which they
pay $45 apiece to the government.
This is at the rate of $3.50 on the hun.
dred to the thousand.dollar man, but
AZ cents on the hundred to the hun
dred-thousand-dollar man, or AZ per
cent to one and less than one-tWentieth
of per cent. to the other. How is
that for fairness and even-handed JUS
ticeP And yet this is the way the gov
ernment has served the people under
the protective tariff system for three
quarters of century, and in the mean
time that government adds insult to
injury and devises new outrages on the
common people by exempting from all
taxation the investments of the cspi.
talist and millionaire to the tune of
thousands of millions of dollars Of gov
ernment bonds, thus throwing a
double tax to that extent upon the
body and mass Of the plain people.
And yet we wonder that there are mil
lionaires in the land. And not only

lead TO believe that it isan idle concern,
for there is no smoke coming from the
immense stack, gas being used, and the
steam is condensed with the lately i'm
proved engines. But to pay 4 visit TO
TO the wel-equipped plant changes ones
notion, for II Is about as busy and as
smooth working concern as could be
found. The plant now forces daily to
the city and Fulton over 10000 gall
Ions of water.

ErNA.sTANDARD MILL NOTES.
Points About the Plant From the Mill
and Town.

By next Monday the entire plant will
be on in full, judging from the present
outlook, and 1000 men will be at work
in the immense plant. 1t has been
over a year since things looked so
bright for the mill. With the scale
satisfactorily settled and good orders,
with the western tie-up on the railroads
removed, it looks like the men would
get all the work they want the balance
Of the summer.
William Schrader, Michael Elmer and
Frank LETTER, well known mill men,
left Oh the 5th OF this month for trip
to Greenorier, w. Va, for a hunt In
the mountains. They went 10 wagon,
and they have not been heard since they
left Buckhannon. IL is not k1own
where they are now, but not much un-
easiness is felt as TO their whereabouts
yet.
Five Of the pudding furnaces are
on. There is talk OF great strike
among the pudders, to be Instituted In
the Pittsburg mills, and supposed TO
effect the whole country, but the WORK
men here think there is little in 1t, and
that IL will amount to nothing as Tar
as the Etna-Standard is concerned.
The slab question, which has been
aEitating some of the mill men since
the scale was signed, was settled yester-
day, and this is the last drawback re-
moved from having the entire plant go
on. There were concessions MADE on
both sides, and the terms are prl-
vate.
Few miners are at work at the coal
mines. Some Of the old meu are at
work and some new men are employed.
They number about half and half. No
negotiations are now going on betwesn
the management and the old miners Ior
q settlement of the trouble.
The heat was great in the mills yes
terday, and the workmen had hard
times with their work. Few of them
could make two thirds time by reason
of it. None Of them were reported 10
have had serious attacks IS the result.
Reese Watkins, who was mentioned
in the REGISTER, as having gotten into
trouble in Bellaire, is out OF the dineul-
ty, and is seen on the streets again. de
will probably aot 60 to work again In
the mill.
Genial Richard Lynch, who for some
time has been 81 Muncie, lud., at work,
has come home and will 90 70 work In
few days in the pill here. BE likes the
EtnaStandard best
During the idleness Of the mill many
Of the workmen went to fishing camps
out in Ohio. The plaut going to work
is causing them to come home in droves.
Michael Riley, q well-known man, Is
home from a weeks visit 10 friends In
Pittsburg. He was accompanied oy
his wife and three children.

1t now looks like the North End Col
onization scheme would DO sure go,
aud that means that about four nun
dred OF the population Of the city will
leave. owing TO the hard times. Some
months ago, many Of the mill men with
families and heavy taxes saw that they
must do something, and they origin
ated the scheme. An agent from
Pickens, this State, near Webster
Springs, was in the city few days ago,
and the Wheeling parties will send live
men there in few days TO look at the
site. 1t contains 5000 acres of good
ground, which can be bought from So TO
IS an acre. The owners OF the land
want one-third down, and il they can
not get that they will give the new
buyers one year for each individual to
pay for his place. Besides this they
will transport the colony from this city
TO their prospective home free Of
charge The land is at the foot Of the
mountains. and the colonizers have
taken liking TO it from the situation
on the map. The Wheeling persons
who propose to go are ali good citizens,
and no man will be tahen who would
not work IL he had the chance.

HEIGHT OF METEoRs.
Calculations to be Made by Means OF q
Photographic TsIes cope.

CLEVELAND, O., July 1s.-A new
astronomical instrument, termed a sex
tuple Photographic telescope, has been
con pleted by Wagner 81 Swazey Of this
city, and is about TO be shipped to New
Haven, Conn. 1t will be placed in one
OF the Yale observatorles, and though
intended for general astronomical
photography will begin its picture TAX
ing with the appearance Of the August
meteoric displays.
In certain respects 1t stands unique
among Photographic telescopes and may
revolutionize the present system. 1t has
six cameras, instead Of one, and togeth-
er they cover field In the sky equal TO
that which would be occupied by 2,400
full moons. By its use on the meteors
the astronomers OF Yale expect TO de-
Velop new facts relating TO their height.
They will place single telescopes at
distances Of two miles from the sextu-
pie instrument, and, By means Of cleo
trical connections, will photograph sim
ultaneously. The plates will then be
compared and calculations will be made
with the view TO establishing the height
Of meteors.

Annual Benefit at the Grand Opera.
House.

The Press Club of San Francisco re-.
ceived its fourth annual complimentary
benefit at the hands of the theatrical pro-
fession yesterday afternoon at the Grand
Opera-house. A brilliant programme, a
popular occasion and an enthusiastic audi
ence com bined to make the entertainment
a II arked success from every point of view.
This benefit is the one opportunity in the
year thatsactors have to reciprocate with
the press, and generally they make good
use of il. AS crossing of wit and an
exchange of favors between these two
classes of the community cannot fail to be
interesting. the public always patronizes
the affair literally. They did so yester-
day and left with the management net
proceeds for the entertainment of about
S1890 One-fourth Of this amount goes to
the Actors Fund of America and the
balance 10 the Press Club.
The programme was participated In by a
multitude OF volunteers, who all worked con
amore, and the sale of bouquets and bOutOn-
Deres by young ladies realized quite hand
some sum. This Office was not quite as pleas
ant to the fair saleswomen as was the perfume
exh led by the clustering flowers they held.
Some persons repused, In most ungracious
way, their dainty offers at decoration, but for
tuna,ely the repulses were too few to mar the
general pleasure the fiower-girls felt In being
useful.

OBTAINED BY FRAUD.
Mrs. Augusta Holland Seeks to Re.
cover Her Property.


Mrs. Augusta Holland has flied suit In the
Superior Court against Alfred ZOllner, August
OrIion, William S. Wood and Joseph NaphIaly
to set aside deed of conveyance. alleged TO be
fraudulent
The plaintiff In the action is the widow of the
late Henry Holland, who died February 81,
1891. She states that shortly before his death
her husband conveyed TO the defendant, Alfred
Zolner, house and 50-vara lot on Broadway
and Montgomery avenue, on consideration OF a
rental of $780, TO be paid TO the plaintiff dur
ing her lifetime. 1t is alleged that at tile time
OF The execution of this deed of conveyance
Holland was Of extremely feeble mind and
body, and in fact was toiaily unable TO transact
business OF any kind. ZOllner, IL Is claimed,
knew this, and deliberately took advantage of
Hollands weakness to get the deed from him,
knowing well that he (ZOllDeD had no means,
and that's his promised consideration had no
value. The defendant; Orti0n Is the present
tenant of the premises.
On March 16. 1891, the plaintiff commenced
an action against Zollner and Ortion To set
aside the deed OF conveyance, and by an order
of the court the defendants. Wood aud Naph-
tally, were appointed receivers, and have since
collected ali the rents from the disputed prop
erty. 1t is claimed that they have now on hand
a balance of $4,000.
Mrs. Holland therefore seeks TO have set
aside the deed OF conveyance as frauduleptly
obtained, to compel Wood aud Naphtaly TO pay
over the $4,000, and TO have receiver ap-
pointed 10 take charge OF the pi operty in dis.
pute during the pcndency of the action.
