A RANilER MISSING.

CATLETTSBURG, Ky, March o.
G. NJ. Witten. ex-mayor, ex-police judge
and retired banker, has been missing
since March IA. The river and Catlett
creek have been dredged in vain and
inquiries sent to all parts of the coun-
try but no trace of the wealthy man
can be found. He is prominently con-
neeted here and no expense is being
spared to locate his whereabouts. He
had about $1,000 on his person when
last seen here

Land values seem the natural fund
from which the taxes should be raised.
AS the community grows and the needs
of government increase, so do lana
values. AS it enlarges its sphere ana
assumes new functions, 1t neeas
e-reater revenues. But it's usefulness
also increases and this increases the
value of land and enlarges the fund
from which it's increased expenditures
must come.

CINCINNATI, March 22.-The strike
of the clothing cutters has continued
here three weeks without concessions
from either side. Yesterday clothing
cutters arrived from New York for
Mayer. Scheur, Cfner & Co.. and they

an orderly meeting today and claim
they are not concerned over the i'm
portation of cutters as the sympathic
strike will continue as heretofore and
the manufacturers cannot get their
work done. F. I. Mcclure, general sec
rotary of the Carpenters National

ing here today. The bricklayers have
not adjusted their differences and some
trouble is expected at the opening of

of deputies has just passed a bill levy
ing a heavy tax upon death. V'hen
man dies his heirs are taxed in pro-
portion to the amount of their in
heritance and their relationship to the
deceased. If the heir is a near reia-
tive the tax is ore-fourth of one per
cent on small amounts, increasing to
four per cent. on an estate of 100000.
Distant heirs and religious institutions
have to give I'D twenty per cent. OF
their inheritance to the government.
This is rather tough. 1t will result in
many cases in a man dispoSing OF MS
property before he dies.
John Stuart Mill lays II down ais one
of the requirements of perfect sys-
tenn of taxation that it shall take
from each man in proportion to his
ability to pay In theory this is car
ried out. Yet I do not think equity
or expediency justifies this require
ment. Taxes are raised for the purpose
Of supporting government. Government
exists for the protection Of the lie,
liberty and property of the citizen
This protection is guaranteed to every
citizen alil1e-nOt in proportion to the
amount of his taxable property, but
as he needs it. The more perfectly
government fulfills it's functions, the
value is exactly registered. 1t doesn't
increase wages; it isn't registered IN
higher interest or larger profits Inc
value of a perfect government is NOT
in proportion to the amount OF its eX-
penditureS. If it were measured III
this way our former county board
might be considered the most valuable
we ever had. The perfection with
which a government performs its func-
lions is registered in land values. l
do not mean to say that it's value IS
not shown in the health, happiness ana
prosperity of it's citizens, but its ma
terial value is recorded in land values
alone. The value of land is the only
value created by the community. Be
fore the pioneers came into this Valey
the land had I'D value. AS the com
munity grew, as houses were bullt, as
schools and churches were erected, as
sidewalks, sewers, a water system ana
fire protection were added, land values
steadily increased. The more thorough
ly the city government protected the
life, liberty and property of the cltl-
zen. the more valuable land became.
Since then this value is created by the
community as a whole, why should
not the taxeS-the fund required Tor
the use of the community-come from
this increment earned by the communl-
ty? Let the wealth which has been
created by the individual remain In
his possession, untouched of a penny
by any tax gatherer.
Don't tax man in proportion to his
ability to pay taXes-in proportion 10
the wealth he has created and the eX-
tent to which he has given employ
ment-but rather in proportion to the
values society has created for MIN.
Isn't this more just? Isn't it more
expedient?

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Nov. 1.-Pr-
vate letters received In this city by Sat-
urday nlGht's mall from Havana, throw
light upon recent events In the island Of
Cuba. One letter in particular deals
with late occurrences In PInar del Rio.
and gives very hopeful Views OF tho
present Cuban situation. .
This letter says that Antonio Maceo
has not attempted TO reach Havana
province, and that although he made an
attack upon the city of Artimisa, which
was partially destroyed. he did not en-
deaVor TO enforce q passage of the fam
Gus trocha. On the other hand II IN
stated In the communication, which Is
from Captain DeGardu, who recently
was In this city and who Is an officer OF
General MaceoS staff, that the rebel
army in Pinal del Rio at that province,
Is not DESTROYS Of making war In Hava-
ma and Matanzas at this time. Both OF
these provinces are cpmparatlvley low
and fiat and the effort of the coplous
rains upon the soil Is still detrimental to
tho proper handling OF an army. e
The letter reads: ITO be with the Gu

The mail system OF the republic Is not

programme. -
..Artinisa was quite strongly en-
trenched and over 1000 men were there
garrisoned. Maceo did not attack with
his entire force, but desired to give
practice TO the artillery. The enemy
was amazed, I am sure, for during
nearly two hours time there was no re-
Spouse from the town. 7h
General Maceo personally directed
the attack. We retired in good order
about midnight after the artillery OF

do not know the enemy's loss, but our
killed numbered eighty. We left no
dead on the field, but carried all tho
bodies away. Among the killed was
Major Perez, who you know well and
who has been one of our best officers.

to so much cavalry, but II has been in

TOPEKA. Nov. For the first time
in q national election this state has been
considered doubtful one and both
great political parties have sent flopds
OF literature and many OF the speakers
to capture the electoral votes. The total
vote of the state will be near 1000, and
out OF this the Republican leaders claim
q plurality OF 10000 or 1000 vutes and
the fusion silver leaders plurality all
the way from 1900 to 3O.O0O. Republic
cans claim their state ticket will run
ahead OF their electoral ticket, and the
fusionists claim the fusion state ticket
will fall behind its electoral ticket.
Chairman J. MacI,ove. OF the silver
Democracy, claims the state for Bryan
by 10000. and says the silver people will

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 1.-The cam

for the absence Of anything like vlgor.
The Republican candidate for governor
met with an accident carly in his

DemocratIc-Popul!st candidate for gov
ernor went TO California 10 make

went east to make silver speeches. He
made few speeches here and Colonel
Saunders, Senator Carter and others
made few speeches for Mckinley.
The Democrats and Populsts had sew

were not numerous on either side. The

Bryan, but the public have eagerly
watched political affairs In the other
states. Few speeches have been made
In Arkansas except by local orators, the
only campaign of consequence being
made by congressional candidates in the
Third and Fourth districts. Congress-
men McRea and Friedhelm, his Republ!-

TEXAS IS DOUBTFUL
A Big Vest Poke, Vote Holds tho balance
t"E or Power.

|
aus OF Power.
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 1.-The cam
pafgn which IS now practically closed
has been one OF tho most excNlng In
the history OF tho state, for the reason
that while the Democrats have been
claiming tho state as safe nil along
the line, the Republicans and Populists.
with tho assistance OF the gold Demo-
Gratis have been making such IN In
terestlns fight that It has kept the
Democrats busy beating the brush.
Now that tho election - within forty
eight hours. the situation while II looks
as though 1t was leaning favorably to
Democracy, IL In such position rs TO
be problematlc. The situation Is such
that the Popullsts hold the balance OF
power, and whichever way they go
will tell the story and in their present
chaotic condition they are the uncer-
tain quantity.
Democratic state chairman Blake
says there will be 100000 votes cast in
tho state Tuesday, OF which number
Bryan and Sewall will get 275,001 Bry-
an and Watson 10000. Mckinley and
Hobart $4,000, and Palmer and, Buck
ner 10000. Blake also says that the state
Democratic Ticket Will win by any
where from 10000 to 5000 majority.
Chairman John Grant. OF the Repub-
l!can party, who has managed the or
glnlZation OF the Republican party In
Texas and is in touch with every part
OF the state, also figures the total vote
at 100000. but claims from 205,o00 to
10000 votes for the Mckinley electors
and the Populist state ticket on the
fusion arrangement. Conservative pol
it!clans figure out that OF the 500. 900
votes the Democrats are sure of 20O, 900
and the fuslonlsts, comprising the Re-
publIcanS Popullsts and Gold Demo-
Gratis, are also sure OF 100000, thus
leaving 100000 votes as the uncertain
quantity. OF this number It Is estEna-
ted that most OF It Is n vest pocket
vote that cannot be placed and It is
therefore, very unreliable and cannot be
depended on.
The Republican leaders arc arranging
matters so as 20 have the Popuilsts
ana silver Democrats waste their
strength between the Bryan and Sewall
and Bryan and Watson tickets In the
hope that by this means they can re,
the Republican electoral ticket safe In
line. II they can be successful in d.
vld!ng the vote they will undoubtedly
get the Mckinley electors. As to the
CONGRESSIONAL lists Democratic Chair
man Blake IS claiming all thirteen dis
tricts. while the Republicans claim two
and the Populists two. It Is safe to say
that the Democrats will win In all but
two districts. The Tenth and Sixth will
so to Republicans and Populssts unless
a wonderful change takes place to-mor-
row. - - ~

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Aus
trallan ballot system wIllbegivcn It's first
trial in louisiana The state will give
Bryan 4 majority Of between 1900 and
10000. The Democrats expect to carry
all six congressional districts, but with
an honest count the Republicans claim
TO have excellent chances In the First,
Second. Third and SIKH districts. In
the latter district both Republicans and
Democratic nominees are for free Sill
Yer. II IL claimed that the Australian
ballot system will result in disfranchis-
ing large percentage Of voters In each
political party. as illiteratc citizens will
not be able TO prepare their ballots ac-
cording to law. The Republicans claim
that this city will go for Mckinley. On,
the other hand the Democrats are conf
dent that when the returns arc made up
on the night of November 3rd. they will
have their usual majority OF 10000 or
more in the city and 5000 in the state.
