To Callaghan Spectators.

To the DAILY LIGHT:
A correspondent of the Express
wants to know why the Hon. Chas.
w. Ogden was allowed to settle the
taxes on lot, corner Avenue f
and Houston street, $4,000, when
this taxes amounted to more than
double that amount. The assess
ment Of that property was raised
by the Callaghan administration
for the year 1891 to the enormous
sum Of $4,000 without notifying
the proper owner. Suit was
brought some time ago to enforce
the taxes however, and Mr.. Ogden
answered that the owner of the
property is willing, and always has
been willing, to sell the aforesaid
property for the sum of $15, 900. A
petition was presented TO the City
Council asking for relief, saying
that some mistake must surely
have been made in the assessment
OF the property. The matter was
referred to the assessment COM
mittee, who recommended that
$4,000 was a fair valuation
for said property, and as the
adjoining property had always
been assessed for even less than
that amount. Mr.. Ogden further
stated that he thought the owner
would take that amount, $4,000,
for it. So you Callaghan men who
want to buy piece of property
which your man had assessed for
$50, 600, call on Mr.. Ogden and get
it for $4,000. Address, CUISINES"

To the DAILY LIGHT:
Our morning paper pretends to
be much outraged at the treatment
of it's reporter by some of the city
officials who wished to protect
themselves against twisted and
garbled statements to be used as
a campaign thunder. 1t can not
be expected Of parties holding re-
sponsible positions to freely render
Information, which is liable to be
unscrupulously mutilated to serve
election purposes. Very few care
full business men will at any time
furnish newspaper reporters with
statements OF any Importance, I'M
less they put them in writing
themselves, in order to avoid mis-
construction.
The people of the morning daily
are certainly aware of this fact and
il it was intended to use an expect
ed refusal as trump card in the
game now going on, it is apt to
prove, but a poor one.
When person at game OF
cards does not know what to lead
he usually plays trumps, but bet.
ter one than that Of the morning
paper; and when he gets at the
"bar" and doesn't know what to
take, he usually takes something
straight" straight goods" in
this case is trumps and so will the
straight Elmendorf ticket be
trumps in the coming election.
While the laborer is worthy Of
his hire and the writer with the
many MONS de plume who monop'

HOW BISHOP GALLOWAY
STANDS,

from an interview had by the Biz
mingham Age. Herald with Bishop
Galloway:
"The Age.Herald is a sound
money paper, and 1 want to tell
you something about my expert
ence with debased currency re.
marked the Bishop, nudging the
reporter with his elbow. He then
pulled from his purse exchange on
Hong Kong and Shang Hal banks,
on Japanese banks and on India
banks. II was sterling exchange
and In each instant the amount
called tor in English pounds sters
ling was paid for three or four times
over In silver. every one of
these countries I visited was a sill
yer country, and suffers from a
deprecated currency" said the
Bishop. II keep these bills of ex-
change convenient to show nv free
silver friends, in order to show
them that they are reducing this
country to the same level.n
Of course we all know Bishop
Galloway is at the head of the
Methodist church South, that he
is filing tho highest position in the
gift OF that, the most powerful or
ganization for good in this land, and
that no hope Of church or pollti-
cal preferment could induce him to
make biased statement of this or

DEMOCRATS OF PEARL RIV-
Err COUNTY,

am charged by the Populists
and Il few so-called Democratic
candidates, whose greed for Office
outruns their desire for the success
Of the principles and interests of
the party they profess to re present,
with the "great crime' of having
frustrated the nefarious plans of
the Populists.
Which plan was, as announced
by one OF their leaders, for them to
cast their ballots in the Democratic
primary for the candidates who
have been "coquetting" with them.
And then ia the genel al election, to
use his elegant expression, "To vote
as they d-n please" that is, for
their own candidates. This would
give some candidate or candidates
Junk nown to mel an unfair advant-
age in the primary, over those who
scorned to solicit the vote OF any
man who did not intend to supa
port the nominees of the primary y,
at the general election.
The remark of the High Priest
of the Populites IN this county, that
"Shivers cares more for the inter-
ests of his party than he does for
Office" consider the highest com.
pliment that political enemy could
pay me.
If this be criminal then | plead
