A Western View.
The Free-SIIver Movement Is a RevOIu-
ton, with the Pocket-bOOks of the
People as a Centre OF Interest.

The Rree-SIlver Movement Is "A RevOIu-
ton, with the POclSet-bOOks of the
People as a Centre OF Interest.
Henry c. Payne, Wisconsn's member of
the Republican national committee, who is
to have charge of the Chicago headquarters,
said this week: 81 consider the silver
movement to be nothing less than a revo-
luton. The county has experienced moth
ing like it since the war, and at the open
ing of the war the agitation, general inter-
est and deep feeling was not more general.
At present there are embraced in the f.
nancial movement leading men and news
papers in all parts of the county, North,
South, East and West.
1.-THE fight of the silverites against their
country will be lost AS fast as the froth
of the Chicago convention disappears the
clear light of truth will reveal to the people
the dangers of the silver movement. l
firmly believe that when the polls close
the country will have given an unprecedent-
ed condemnation of the movement led by
Tillman and seconded by Altgeld.
SIN a campaign sentiment is one thing,
political utilization and opinions are an
other, and pecuniary welfare is still an
other, and the great cause of the deep spec
ial interest in the forthcoming campaign is
that it affects directly and mysteriously the
pocket-books of the people.
"Where is the working man in this move
ment? Today he is paid with good money,
but how can he get his wages raised if the
country is not prosperous? If the silver
movement succeeds he will get one-half in
actual value of what he now obtains.
"Mexico is the best example of the silver
movement in effect that l know of. An
American in that country can step into a
restaurant, eat his dinner, hand the cashier
a dollar of the United States and get a
Mexican dollar back, besides paying for his
dinner. But the Mexican dollar has more
intrinsic or real value than the dollar of
Uncle Sam. These facts show that silver
money is simply fiat money.
"Why should not the silver mine owners
rejoice to see silver win if it enables them
to take 80 cents worth of silver to the
mint, have Uncle Sam coin it at his own
expense and hand them back a dollar?
Under such advantageous circumstances,
why should the mine owners not apply
themselves to making the silver craze
rabid? But how about the fraud on the
American people?
~ think the independent position taken
by Democrats who refuse to endorse the
Chicago nominees is proof of the highest
kind of patriotism and devotion to princi-
ple."

wilder and Wales.
From the New YORK Sun

LrFpm the new 1Ork sun
Marshall p. Wilder, the humorist, got
home from a six weeks tour of Europe
yesterday, bright-eyed and bronzed by sea
air, and in the happiest possible frame of
mind. He helped entertain the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery at Holborn res
taurant on the evening of July Q. When
the 600 Ancients formed in line to meet
the Prince of Wales, Wilder was showed
back by the crush, but he wriggled past a
six-foot Ancient with long flowing side
whiskers and the Prince of Wales caught
sight of him and walked up and shook
hands with him. The humorist had met
and entertained the Prince in 1886 in Lon
don. "Halloor' said the Prince, 'haye
you got any new stories?' and the two
shook hands.
"Who is that short little mani" asked
one of the Englishmen of compatriot
"Oh!" replied the other. Hes an Off
Ger in the American army; a marshal, or
something of that kind"
Then the humorist told his two latest
stories to the Prince as follows;
An Englishman was walking along one
of the principal thoroughfares Of Washing
ton last year, and saw a curly-haired old
negro putting in coal in one of the cellars
of the government buildings. The negro
worked away industriously.
whats your Nance asked the inter-
ested foreigner at length.
The negro bowed in pleased way.
my names George Washington, sab,
at your service"
washington, Washington" muttered
the foreigner musingly. at seems to me
have heard that name before"
Shouldn't wonder, sah," rejoined the
negro in a delighted tone. 1--WE been
here doing this sort of thing for the last
ten years"
The other story was of a laborer with a
hair lip who had been arrested by Lon
don bobby for some misdemeanor, and
who had great difficulty in talking.
whats your name, prisoner" asked
the magistrate severely.
The prisoner screwed up his mouth and
emitted noise that sounded like the puff
ing of gas.
"What did You say?" again inquired the
puzzled magistrate.
The prisoner tried again with no better
result at clearness of enunciation, and the
magistrate turned to the bobby.
"Officer, what is the prisoner charged
with?" he asked.
The bobby saluted and replied: 81 don't
know exactly, your honor, but from the
way he talked think he's charged with
soda water"
Wilder says that these made the Prince
laugh, and that his Royal Highness made
him tell him some stories the next night,
whep, with the princess and her daughters
he attended reception at the Duke of De-
vonshire's, where Wilder was one of the
guests along with Chauncey Depew.

The Red Cedar.

The red cedar, which is not a cedar at all
in the botanical meaning of the word, but
juniper, is one of the commonest and
most widely distributed trees of North
America. 1t is equally at home on the dry
gravel hills of New Brunswick and New
England, Cd the northern shores OF Geor-
gian Bay, in the fertile valleys of Pennsyl-
vania, on the limestone hills of eastern
Kentucky and Tennessee, where it forms
with stunted, shrubby growth, great forests
or cedar brakes" in the swamps Of the
Florida peninsula, and on the rich bottom
lands of the Red river and its tributaries,
where it grows to the greatest size. Less
common in the West than in the East the
red cedar is apparently as much at home
in one region as in the other. The earlier
European settlers on the Atlantic seaboard
delighted in the red cedar, which reminded
them of some inhabitant of their Old World
gardens, and in its bright red, fragrant
wood, which the Indians had known and
valued before them; and the narratives of
the old voyages and settlements usually
describe the cedar, which was often in
cluded in the lists of treasures yielded by
the new-found land. There is no tree in
America that will grow better fence-post
for the wood does not decay and insects
do not modest it. A well-selected red cedar
post will last an incredibly long time in
the ground; and for the stills of buildings
placed Immediately on the soil no wood is
more valuable. Moths fee from its pleas
ant, pungent odor, and every good house
keeper knows the value of a red cedar
chest, or closet lined with this wood. Red
cedar is the wood of lead pencils; and prac-
tically the wood in all these indispensable
articles, at least in pencils of good quality,
is the wood of this tree from Florida

Harriet Beecher Stowe always insisted
that she wrote Uncle Toms Cabin under
inspiration. When the story was running
as a serial in the National Era John p
Jewett, the young Boston publisher who
was to issue it as a serial, became alarmed
at its length and wrote reminding her that
two volumes on so delicate subject might
be fatal to success. Mrs. Stowe replied that
she did not make the story; it made itself,
and she could not stop until it was done.
Mrs. James T. Fields, in her article in
the August Atlantic Monthly, days with
Mrs. Stowe" says.
Mrs. Stowe was never afflicted with a
personal consciousness of her reputation.
Late in life she was accosted, in the garden
of her country retreat, by an old retired sea
captain.
When was younger, said he, respect
fully, i read with great deal of satisfac-
ton and instruction Uncle Toms Cabin.
The story impressed me very much, and
am happy to shake hands with you, Mrs.
Stowe, who wrote it, Il did not write it,
answered the white-haired old lady, gently.
You didn't?' he calculated in amazement.
why, who did, then?' God wrote it, she
replied simply. Il merely did his dicta-
tion.' Amen said the captain, reverent-
ly, as he walked thoughtfully away"

which that protection entails and
 which it is but fair and honest should be paid by them.
 This assessmeet is about one
 sixth of the assessment of our county It then follows that our
 merchants pay six times as much
 taxes to support the State govern
 ment as is paid by our more thrifty
 neighbors. The hand of the law
 making power should intervene and 8 law be enacted which would render it impossible for this condition longer to exist. It should not be allowed longer to exist. The only reason for Ievying 8 county tax is to raise revenue sufficient to sup port the county government. In order to do this under existing con ditions, it is, and has for 3 long time been, necessary to levy five mills tax-the full constitutional limit Property owners do not feel like increasing the assessed value of their property for the reason that it makes them pay still more of the burdens of State government than is paid by their neighbors. It is apparent that the proper increase in the assessmentvalues of property would diminish the rate of taxa tion. If, therefore, the valuation is doubled and the rate of taxation is cut in half, no greater amount of revenue is raised, and the individ- ual pays no more tax. If this should be done over the entire State We could cut the other rates of taxation in half without hurtiog the tax payers. This would benefit us largely in the estimation Of peo- pie who desire to immigrate to our State. Usually the first question asked by people examining our lands is, What is your rate of tax ation and how is your land assessed" /"
 The law is supposed to be bur de1ed with the erudition of hoary centuries and this is to a very large extent true, but there are still excrescences of an age, the utility of which has long since de- parted, upon it's otherwise fair face. One of these is found in the theory that the law shows no parts of a i day. It is the only creation of mans ingenuity by which the laws of the Almighty are entirely abro- | gated No other creation has rec ognized ten minutes as a day and paid for it accordingly. The person who is called as @ witness or juror, | without regard from whence he came or how long he is detained, receives pay for one days services. The Legislature has attempted to reme- dy this defect by saying that when bystander is called as 8 juror he shall receive no pay unless ae- cepted. This has only had the effect of driving the professional jurors from the court room to the froat door of the court house, where the bystander's clause does not reach him. This amounts to quite a nice sum in a year, especially if there should be few felony cases that have been so largely discussed as to disquaIify many jurors. The sooner the county adopts the policy, like other sensible people, of paying
Semi=weekly graphic., 1896-12-19

ty calls in a few of his friends and in the course of a few hours is ready to begin business, for which he re ceives, in many instances, a larger compensation than is given the official assuming the duties of the State office.
 I would say that the Legislature should exercise greater liberality than has generally characterized its action in fixing a compensation for the offiee-holder. "The laborer is worthy of bis hire," but he is not worthy of greater compensation than he can earn. There is no req son why the county should be called upon to pay it's officers a greater compensation than the same service would receive in a private business.
 Officers are the servants of the people, from whom they receive their pay, just as bank tellers, cash lers, and all the long line of hard working and hard worked men are the servants of the various concerns who use their brain or muscle and pay therefor.
 It is an easy matter therefore for the representatives of the people to fix salary for each office commen- surate with the services performed. This done, no question can then arise to vex the courts as to what the officers should receive.
 Fees should of course be charged for services performed for the indi- viduals, but the surplus, if any, after paying the salary of the off oer, should be covered into the county treasury that it may go as far as possiblei Tightening the bur den of taxpayers. In fixing the salary of the various officers care should be taken to make it sufficiently large to employ efficient help, or separate allowance should be made for the employment of deputies. The State should pay a portion of the salaries of Circuit Clerk, Sheriff, and 8 greater part than it does of the salary of Prosecuting Attorney.
 The entire benefits accruing from the efforts of these gentleman in the prosecution of crime are received by the State, while all the costs of conviction, except the salary of the Circuit Judge and nominal salary to the Prosecuting Attorney, are paid by the county. This is in equitable, and should be corrected.
 Another grieyous fault in our plan is discoverable in the method of assessing taxes. This materially affects our county as well as other counties in the State For exan- pie, it is related upon creditable authority that in neigbborine county, a leading merchant had the misfortune to lose his stock of merchandise by fire. What was the result? This merchant received a greater amount of insurance than the entire merchandise assessment of his city amounted to, and his was not the only store located in his city by 2 good many.
 What does this mean? It means nothing more or less than that the merchants of this place are reeelv. ing as much if not more of the bene- fits of State government than their neighoors, and are yet artfully es- capino their share If tba bi,raa,,e
