SO far as we are concerned we are
mighty glad that st. Louis is to have
the republican national convention. ST..
Louis is good town, not so busting
and breezy as Chicago but a real solid,
city of wealth and brains, whose citizens
do not depend altogether upon their
wits for living. Chicago papers call
st. Louis slow, but in a steady, solid
way she keeps getting there; and it is
not at all sure that Chicago would not
be glad to swap bank accounts with
the - village at the other end of the
bridge" st. Louis was loyal city
in war times, and has been a good
republican town the most Of the time
since. She is the politic.l and bust
ness metropolis of an immense tract of
country, and the location of the con-
vention there will be an inspiration
just where it will do the most good.

THE REVISED VALUATION.
Comparison Between the Old and the
New Figures.

Some days ago comparison was
made in this paper between the valua-
tions of the city and county towns as
they have stood for years and the re-
vision made by the board this year.
The comparison was somewhat mis-
leading inasmuch as the assessed
valuation of last year was compared
with the revised figures. Below we
give the valuation as fixed by the board
q year ago and the revised valuation
just passed upon:

THE reason, and the only reason,
that the taxes are so high this year is
because they were so low, dishonesty
low, last year. There Was a deliberate
attempt made last year by the demo
cratic officials and party managers to
fool the people by leTying low tax. 1t
was dishonest and wholly disreputa-
BILE scheme, cOncOcted by the party
managers in Milwaukee, and aided and
put in force by the democratic state
officials, to try to deceive the tax
payers, by the levying ola small tax, into
rejecting credit upon the democratic
state ticket. This is the flat, bald truth
of the matter. 1t was known when last
years taxwas levied that it would not be
sufficient, and that there would he
debts unpaid and a deficit in the state
treasury created. But the democratic
managers cared nothing for that. They
were out for a renewed lease Of power
and more plumber. They knew the
facts couldn't come to light until after
the election, then if they won they had
accomplished their purpose, if they
lost they could charge the deficiency,
as they are now doing to republican
extravaganza. This is the whole
story

second time the republicans have
planted their national convention in an

will be deemed e4pedient to Take it to

So MUCH has been printed since the
selection of st. Louis as the convention
city about move to pack the conven-
ton for IL nomination that a synopsis
of the contract made between the re-
publican national committee and the
committee representing the city OF st.
Louis is hereby given as the best re-
futation of such stories: A hall with a
seating capacity of $4,000 or more to
be furnished, properly decorated, but
no pictures of or name of any living
republican to be used in said decora
lions; rooms for the national commit
tee and for the convention committees;
the engraving and printing OF tickets,
and suitable music, all to be free OF
cost to the national committee. Of the
$4,000 tickets printed, one third, less
1000 are to be turned over to ST.
Louis. 500 of this number to be given
the G. A. r., and the other five hun
dred TO distinguished guests, the dis
tribution to be under the supervision
of a stipulation that none of she 5000
tickets to be distributed by the st.
Louis citizens committee shall be used
in the interest of any candidate. 1t
would seem that in that contract the
national committee had taken every
possible precaution to avoid ground for
any just charge of favoritism.

Royalty Hoping to Find There Fresh
Worlds to Conquer.
If the name of Emperor William does
not appear in The catalogue of the exhi-
bition Of the Berlin academy of arts
that opens shortly, the hanging COM
mittee of that institution had better
look out for squalls. If they were to
reject the picture he has sent in, the
kaiser would be quite capable of order
ing them out to instant execution, or
of writing down the exhibition in the
columns of any newspaper that would
accept imperial art criticism. The
painting represents, we are told, "a
vancouver at sea, black clouds of smoke,
torpedoes, guns and boats tossed upon
raging waves" The description is
rather incoherent. Probably the pic
ture is, too. But there is no fear that
the loyal Berliners will be deprived of
the chance of feasting their eyes upon
it. There is one magnificent feature
about the canvas that would secure it's
acceptance in almost any exhibition in
the world. That is the signature,
civilian l. r., 1885," which appears in
the right hand corner. The effect
which these simple words and figures
will produce upon the minds of humble
minded believers in the divine right of
kings could not be equaled by any
artist in Europe.
All the great ones of the earth seem
to be going in either for art or litera.
