HARPER'S
Pictorial History
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I68xII! inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots Of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
IS getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 32
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever belore-and has hand
some buff cover with emblematic de.
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as s.
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers OF priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

CITY OF CHICAGO, I
OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
ATTORNEY,
] January IL 1905

January II. 1895.
General j. G.. I0rtine-DEAR SIR:
Your letter of Decem ber 2Sth, relative to
the special assessment laws under which
the city of Chicago is now making street
improvements, has been to-day handed
to the writer, and L beg to reply:
The city of Chicago Is levying assess
ments for making all classes of street
improvements, with few exceptions, un-
der Article TX. of the Revised Statutes
passed in 1872. The exceptions in which
special assessments are levied under
other Acts are in large improvements.
Where the amount involved is very large,
in each case they are levied under the
laws of 1856, which authorizes the city to
divide special assessments into five an
nual installments, provided the aggregate
of the assessment exceeded the sum OF
$4,000, and on the Act passed i'll June,
1898, authorizing the city to levy assess
ments on the five-year plan, the first
assessment of which must include the
odd amount of the total assessment, and
the four subsequent assessments be even
amounts or multiples OF 500. This is the
Act to which you doubtless refer regard
ing the issuing of bonds. This latter Act
has not been used by the city until re-
Gently, and the matter of its legality is
now being tested by the Supreme Court
of the State of Illinois. We beg to refer
you to these several Acts, which will be
found in the Revised Statutes of the State
OF Illinois, copy of which is doubtless
obtainable in the Sacramento Law Lii
brary, or in the Office of some of your
prominent attorneys. Very truly yours,
GEO. a. MILLER.

ACCORDING to latest accounts Hawaii is
likely to have tilt with England. Fif-
teen of the prisoners taken for completely
in the Royalist uprising are British sub
jects, and claimed protection from the
British Minister. That official communi-
Gated with the Government of Hawaii,
and, admitting the guilt of the men,
asked that they be no tried by summary
process, and that guarantees be given for
their lives. To this the republic OF the
island replies that no such assurance can
be given. If the men are found guilty
no matter what their nationality, they
must answer under the penalties Of the
law, martial or civil. as the case may be.
The question that remains is, will Eng
land interfere to protect her men? I. e.,
dictate TO Hawaiian tribunals what shall
be the measure of punishment for those
people who sought to overthrow the gov
ernment of q power with which their
fere, of course Hawaii will be powerless
to resist. What then will we do in the
matter of maintaining the autonomy of
neighboring republic, which is sure to
appeal to us with "a cry from Macedonia,
come and help u.s." Really this little
cloud may portend a great storm.

The present Legislature promises to be
that of thousand anonymous commu-
nications. The book ring started the in
famous assault, and all the lesser pack of
anonymous writers are joining in the
dirty work. There is only one meaner
man on earth than another, and that is he
who allows an anonymous communica-
ton to make the slightest impression
upon his mind. We apprehend that the
legislators of California will plump all
anonymous letters they receive, in
print or in manuscript, into their waste
baskets, and direct the porters to assign
them to the most ignobIe of uses.

ly made it bright and shining mark for

efficacy Beware of them and get the genu-

The Mckinley law was then in force.
During the next year when the new
democratic tariff was in force these
importations increased to ST., 854, SOB.
The story is repeated in every line in
which the new tariff applies demo-
cratic principles. And yet the treas
ury officials profess to be unable to
understand what causes the con-
tinued expectation of gold. When
to the expectations of gold for for
eign products is added the $40, OOO,
900 estimated to have been expended
by Americans in Europe during the
last year, is it any wonder that
money is scarce and times hard in
this glorious land?

THE ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLISM.

In reading the Washington reports
Of the bond issue deal one is forced
to the conclusion that the more he
learns of the intricaces of the treas
ury department and officials the less
he understands either. The demo-
cratic reports are at variance with
each other and the reports Of other
parties may not be depended upon.
In one dispatch we are Informed that
the export Of gold has depleted the
gold reserve and that another bond
issue is imperative, while in the dis
patches o. the succeeding day infOr-
nation is given that the treasury will
not be depleted, that twenty-five
millions of dollars remain idle in the
various banks ready to make good any
deficit and that no bonds will be
issued. In one dispatch the fearful
financial condition OF the government
is from partisan standpoint de-
picted, and in another for the same
of the rapid return of good times.
In the mean time the price Of pro-
ducts Of every kind remains low and
the hard cash can hardly be had with
even sacriticial values. There is one
logical CONCLUSION, however, which any
one can come to and that is the report
Or returning prosperity together with
the present administration is fraud
and a forgery, and the public can
hardly be stuffed with this nauseous
praltle SO long as thousands upon
thousands of Industrious citizens
haven't dollar and no means OF OBJ
tanning t.
Mr.. kerr HARDIE. the English
labor leader who is at present in the
United States to see the country and
make few speeches, has been called
a socialist crank, but this will hardly
be believed Of a man who is capable
Of the following expression taken
from one OF Mr.. Hardie's speeches:
This is mechanical age, and until society
energies from the era of mechanical progress
not much can be hoped for in the way of So
cial improvement. All that can be done now
is to keep live interest and belief in princi-
pies of justice and equality, as the monks in
the middle ages kept alive literature. They
could not hope to persuade the powerful to
learn even to write their Names but they
preserved for an age that would appreciate
it the priceless knowledge intrusted to them.
The above proves the man to be
thinker rather than ranter. 1t is
said that those who argue with Mr..
Hardie will always find one difficulty
about him. He knows pretty we'll
what he is talking about.
DURING the present administration
