REAL ESTATE VALUES
TAX COMMISSIONERS WILL PERMIT
NO GENERAL REDUCTION.
Repufed Intention of Henry County's
Assessor Brings Out n Letter
from Colonel Walker.

State Tax Commissioner Walker yester-
day addressed an emphatic letter to ID. w.
saint, assessor of Henry county, relating to
a reputed intention of the assessors of that
county to make horizontal reduction in
the real estate appraisement which occurs
this year one of the four-year periods
The reduction which it is proposed to make
is from Is TO 80 per cent. The reason given
IS that the price of horses. wheat, etc..
has fallen one-half since the last appraise-
ment of real estate in 1891. Referring to
this 20 Journal reporter at the Statehouse
yesterday, Colonel Walker said:
1T is true horses and some other farm
products are lower in price, but full con-
slderation has been given to this fact in
Inc appraisement of the personal property
where it should properly be considered.
The State Board will emphatically not
permit any reduction in the average APP
pra1sement of real estate over the State
was clothed not only with the authority
TO equalize the appraisement of realty, but
So The hnard s GUY t hts aa
OF Indiana varied from 20 to Is per cent.
of its cash value, according as the county
State Board to approve their local ap-
praisement. The State Board had no power
TO enforce its decisions, but now it has,
all may be assessed equally. The board, in
the matter of real estate, decided to make
Tie assessment at what Is really ABOUT
per cent of it's cash value throughout the
State. This was about the appraisement
in Wayne county. To permit any change
In the one county means to cut down the
appraisement the same all over the State,
and this the State Board does not intend
to do. know how the other members of
the board stand, and / agree with them.
Assessors and county auditors might as
well realize now that cut will be per-
mitted in the value of real estate, which
would necessitate raising the tax levy and
undo the work that the State Board has
done toward equalizing appraisements. 1t
would amount to class legislation to per-
nit farm property to be reduced in APP
praisement and not other property. There
is no question of the duty of the State
Board under the oath of Office taken by the
members, both to appraise lands at their
full value and to equalize such valuation
all over the State. AS a matter of fact,
however, the full value given the lands of
the State in 1891 is now not more than 70
per cent of the value at private sale, and
not at forced or auction sale, and to allow
a cut OF 70 per cent. is out of the ques-
ton. There has been no reduction in the
value of lands during the last four years
that requires a reduction of the appraise-
ment."

The board of trustees of the Indiana In

audit accounts and secure the money for
their trust. The board had, previous to
yesterday, acted on the theory that it's ex-

regarding the benevolent institutions, but
to issue warrant to the superintendent,
saying that in his opinion the old board
would hold until the new one was appointed

OPINIONS OF MANY SENATORS
AND CoNGRESSMEN.
A RECOGNITION SENTIMENT
A Majority of Those Addressed Want
to Aid the Insurgents as Far as
Possible Senator Sherman Don't
Believe in Annexation-A Com
mission

Chicago, Sept. 21.--The Tribune
prints letters from United States SEN
ators and forty-one congressman in re-
ply to questions addressed to them
whether congress should send COM
mission to Cuba to look into the con-
dition of affairs there. They were
also asked, what, in their opinion,
should he the condition of affairs
there. The replies were received from
Senator'S John Sherman, of Ohio;
Baker, of Kansas; William @.
Chandler and j. III. Gallinger, Of New
Hampshire. OF the representatives
five are from Iowa, four each from
Ohio and Pennsylvania. three each
from New York and Indiana and two
each from Minnesota, Kentucky, Kan
sas, Texas, Massachusetts, Missouri
and Arkansas, and one each from
Connecticut, Maine, Mississippi. Wis
consin, Louisiana. Illinois, Nebraska.
Alabama and Virginia. In comment
Ing edltorially on the replies the
Tribune says:
As will be seen from the replies
there Is a strong sentiment In favor
Of the dispatch of a commission to
Cuba, and also in favor of recognizing
the beligerents' right as insurgents
as soon as it can be done consistently.
There was only a little handful of
members adverse to taking any ac-
ton, and there were fifteen or more
who were not yet ready to express
their views, but large majority Of
those addressed declare themselves
strongly in sympa thy with Cuba and
in favor Of recognizing and aiding
them as far as can be done without
violating the international agree
ments."
Senator Sherman, 1t was observed
Is in favor of recognition of them
when de facto government Is es-
tablished, but is opposed to annexa-
ton.

But il seems that the same fire had
also melted his heart. He watched the
young woman with the pretty, sad
face, and finally offered her some re-
spectful attention. He was j, II. Nelll,
and until ten years ago he spent all his
time in getting used to the frowns and
curses of fortune. SO when Miss Nell
son told him her story lie understood
her perfectly. The first day he was
admiring. sympathetic, interested. The
second day he was in love- The third
day he was so far gone that he t,ld
her about it and asked her to marry
him. She too, had been touched, for
kindness of the sort he showed had
not been Very usual in her life. And
so the whole car-these through pas
sengers across the continent get well
acquainted was delighted to see the
happy outcome of the Irritation that
had been progressing with such hot
haste.
And then it came out that Miss Neil
son had fallen into fortune. For Neill
had spent the last ten years In Guate,
mala, and fortune, weary of sporting
with such patient man, had smiled
from his first landing in Central Amer

into his hands, and he was rich and
would he richer. They went straight

NELL had ransacked the big New York

Portable and happy.
They went by way of san Francisco,
and Frawley and the stock company

Miss Nelson, smiling, triumphant,
gorgeous, passed through. The days
and months of Inconsistencies over
money matters, of tramping New
Yorks cruel streets, of waiting pa
tiently and fruitlessly in theatrical
agencies, We're gone forever. All that
had faded like a dream. The poor
