TAXATION OF BANK STOCKS.
Holders Complain That They Are Un-
Justly Disseminated Against.

JEFFERSON CITY, NO., June 3d.
An interesting opinion was filed In
division No. 2 OF the Supreme Court
to-day by Judge Burgess. Suit was
brought by certain stockholders Of
the First National Bank Of King City,
calling into question the right Of the
Board of Equalization OF Gentry
County TO assess bank stock at .
prima facie money value, less any
real estate held az a part Of the value
OF such stock. The court holds that
under the law such stock could not
legally be assessed any other way,
except that depreciation in value may
be shown and accounted for In the as
sessed valuation. There Ia n general
complaint all over the State from
bank stock owners in regard to this
law. Each county seems to have O
rule Of its own, although the State
Board OF Equalization has endeavored
to approximate values as much a.
possible. 1t is claimed that while the
bank stock is forced to bear its prima
facie money value of taxation, other
classes OF personal property escapes
one-third of It's actual value. This
discrimination, the court points out,
Is the result of legislation, and the
same power must be appealed to for re-

M'KINLEY AND HOBART MEET.
The Ex-Governor Greets His New
Jersey Colleague at the Train.

CANTON, O., July 1.--Governor Me-
Kinley drove to the Fort Wayne sta
tion shortly after 10 O'Clock this morn
ing to meet Garrett A. Hobart, Re-
publican nominee for Vice President.
A large crowd was gathered at the
station to witness the meeting, al
though the affair was informal In
every respect. He reached the train
just as the car carrying Mr.. Hobart
stopped in front of him. MIR. McKin-
ley extended his hand and the recos-
milton was equally prompt on Mr..
Hobart's part. The two walked side
by side to the carriage amidst the APP
plause of the crowd. They were
driven quickly to the Mckinley homo,
where crowd of newspaper men and
photographers were waiting.
Mr.. Hobart was presented to anum-
ber of Governor McKinley's neigh
bors as the two alighted from the car
riage, after which they retired to the
library. Asked il they had ever met
before, Mr.. Mckinley said that he had
known Mr.. Hobart for many years,
having met him at a large political
gathering in Newark, while Mr.. Ho-
bart had known of Mr.. Mckinley 20
years past.
1t Is understood that at the confer
ence it was mutually agreed that, "a
far as present intentions should be
concerned, neither of them should de-
part from their homes for any cam
| paign tour.
| This evening the Ohio Christian
Endeavorers will call, 5000 strong,
and give Governor Mckinley the
Chautauqua salute.
Half an hour after Mr.. Hobart's ar
rival special train reached Canton
from Medina, 100 miles distant, bring
ing hundreds of citizens from that
place to pay their respects to the Re-
publican nominee.
Mr.. Mckinley and MIR. Hobart were
greeted with cheers as they for the
first time appeared together to speak
to the Medina visitors. In reply to
Judge Alfred Munson's presentation
for Medina, Governor Mckinley re-
sponded briefly, thanking the mem-
bers Of the delegation for their friend
ly visit and for their devoted and un-
wavering services to the Republican
cause,

COIN HARvEY's SCHEME.
For Bland and Butler Ticket and
Cabinet Spoils Divided
in Advance.

ASHLAND, Wis, July Nv. I'll.
"Coinn Harvey, in an interview to-
day, said: "My plan is to combine
the silver forces of the United States.
/ am trying to combine the Demo-
Gratis, silver Republicans and Popu-
lists, and have suggested the follow
ing plan to the leaders of the parties:
For President on the Democratic
ticket, Bland, of Missouri.
ssIf elected give hlm the appoint
ment of one Cabinet officer only, Sec
retary of State. Let the Democrats
endorse the Populist nominee for
Vice. President on the Populist ticket,
Senator Marion Butler, of North Gar
olina. Let the Populists endorse the
Democratic nominee for President.
"Let Mr.. Butler, if elected, dictate
the appointment of Secretary OF the
Interior, Secretary of Agriculture,
Secretary of War and Secretary of the
Navy. Coneede to the silver Repub-
licans three Cabinet places Senator
Teller, of Colorado, Secretary Of the
Treasury; Judge Caldwell, of the
United States Circuit Court, Attorney
General, and Mayor Pingree, of De-
troit, Postmaster General.
"The silver cause is desperate and
we cannot beat Mckinley without we

that the electors should be elected a,

the same. Now / want to tell yor
that if the Democrats, Populists ant
