The secretary OF the state board Of

The secretary OF the state board OF
labor statistics has issued the second
edition OF the report Of 1898. This
report is a comprehensive review OF
the question Of taxation and shows
conelusively the outrageous Unequal
ity OF the existing system. Cook
county Is used as n basis for compar-
ison Of assessed values with the bal
ance Of the state. For instance. it
requires 25S,000 acres Of average
farming land to equal the value of
one acre located in the business GEN.
ter OF Chicago. which is put at ss.-
Jls.5S5. The farm land is assessed
nj 2'.s5 per cent Of its value, or
s2.2Os.i22. while the one acre OF city
property Is assessed at $i75. S25, or
80 per cent Of its value. This, SAYS
the Quincy Herald. ought to con-
vince every taxpayer that there is
something rotten in the Cook county
assessment, and the demand should
be general that it he changed in such
manner that the Chicago tax.
dodgers would be compelled TO paw
their share OF the state taxes.

The Free silver Suar,

1t is not improbable that as a re-
suit OF the attempts to deliver the
state democracy over 10 the 16 to /
fallacy. as was evinced by the
recent action of the Cook county
committee and the consequent dis.
satisfaction which is now spreading
throughout the state, second
state convention may be held. The
opposition TO the tactics so far en-
ployed is strong enough to bring on
such state Of affairs IL it is dis
posed to. The Chicago Chronicle OF
this morning says:
"a meeting Of the subcom mittee
on state organization of the Cook
county honest money democratic
committee of 500 was held at the Pal
mer house headquarters yesterday
afternoon. The following members
Of the subcommittee were present:
Franklin MacVeagh, H. S. Robbins.
John +. Hopkins, W. A. Vincent,
Thomas Donovan. X. Z. Spapgler.
Ben T. Cable of Rock Island, c. A..
Ewing Of Decatur aud +. K. Ridgelv
of Springfield.
"After a brief discussion of the
situation the subcommittee ad-
Journed to meet again at o'clock
this morning. 1t was decided at
yesterdays conference, however,
that the situation was grave enough
to require immediate and extreme
action. The sentiment was that the
fight against the free silver men
must be kept up and carried, il
necessary, to the national conven-
tion. 1t was ageeed that the honor
Of the party in this state is involved
IN the effort which Governor Altgeld,
Buck Hinrichsen and others are
making to deliver the Illinois demo-
cracy to the cause of free silver"
Hon. Ben T. Cable, of this city,
member from this state of the ma
tional democratic committee, said he
had not been advised that any spe-
cia! meeting OF the committee would
be held soon. He declared. how
ever, that there would be no doubt
OF the power OF the national commit
tee to reorganize the state central
committee il q proper showing should
be made.
"The national committee is the
supreme authority Of the party
said Mr.. Cable. at unqucstionably
has the power to appoin, a new CEN
tral committee in any state if it can be
shown that she members OF the old
committee, or majority of them,

tional committee did not have this
power. it would always be possible

der false pretenses, OF the state or

AMONG THE NEE PERCES.
Many Settlers Are Still Seeking
Homes on the Reserve.

Spokane Chronicle.
d. Macarthur of this city, who
has spent the past month travel
ing in British Columbia and Idaho.
returned yesterday from Lapwai
and the Nez Perez district. Mr..
Macarthur says the Indians at the
latter agency have just received
another payment from the govern
ment and when he was there they
were seated around the huts of
the peanut vendors gorging them
selves with highly colored candy,
peanuts, lemonade and other deli
cacies, while here and there a par
ticularly vain Indian would be
seen strutting around in valorous
attitude with a wonderfully be-
feathered millinery creation upon
his head. The crafty pcddlers,
having learned the Indians fond
ness for ribbons and feathers, had
evidently ordered large supply
of these ornaments and bcdecked
the hats to painful degree.
Mr.. Arthur says lots of settlers
are going into the reservation at
present and money is more free
than it has been for long time.
Those taking farms are selecting
the best land that is the most con-
venient to the town. At present
wheat, which is the principal crop
of the district, is looking fine.
Preparations are being made by
many of the ranchers to set out
fruit trees during the coming
season.

was soon made as far as Agatha,
the new town at Evans ferry,
with but one stop for freight,
where landing was made to take
on party of excursionists, who
were accompanied by the Juliaetta
band. At this point the boat COL
lided with ferryboat loaded with
passengers, who in their anxiety to
join the excursionists had started
to cross the river just as the Lew
iston backed away from the land
ing. Fortunately, however, the
collision broke the ferry ropes and
the boat started down river. After
an exciting chase for nearly two
miles Captain Baughman succeed
ed in capturing the runaway ferry
which he soon landed at exactly
the same place it started. The
Lewiston then resumed her jour-
ney up stream, taking on and put
ting off freight at various points
along the river, reaching Orc Fine,
her destination, at 7 o'clock in
the evening where she tied up for
the night, when the deck hands
were set to work loading her car
60 of wood for Lewiston. She
started on her return journey at
3 o'clock in the morning, stopping
at Fir bluff to take OH a traction
engine and at Lapwai to let off
passengers, arriving at Lewiston
at 6 o'clock where she discharged
her cargo of wood in time to leave
for Riparia ON schedule time.
Owing to the fact that only a few
days. notice of the trip was given
not more than half the freight was
offered that otherwise would have
been, yet the trip was a profitable
one for the company.

there is any amount of rich placer

wash with ordinary fumes.

in its infancy. Some very rich
strikes made here the past winter
and will be lots more as prospect

1.-THE mineral belt here is very
extensive and any amount of
quartz over the entire district.
Some very rich in free gold, and
some very rich in silver also.
"In my opinion it is the making
Of one of the best quartz camps in
the state. 1t is a very hard camp
to prospect. The formation is
granite, decomposed, on the sur
face, which makes the surface
ground very deep, very heavily
timbered and is covered with snow
from seven to nine months in the
year.
"a prospector to make q success
here should have some capital, lots
of muscle, with inclination to ap-
ply it on the pick, shovel, hammer,
