MlcHloAN's FINANCES.


Eaogis ola Demoeratie sgisatutc 10 Make
Record Cause the Present Large State Tax.
The state tax last year was the largest
ever levied in Michigan, the total being
3,013, while the rnte was 81
mills on cach dollar OF assessed valua-
ton, the cqunlizcd valuation OF thestilte
then being 81 130, 100000. This ex-
ccssive levy was due 60 the iact that the
Democratic legislature Of S9l purpose
ly made insufficient appropriations for
most every state institution and also
wiped out the treasury balance, lis aim
being to make il appear THAT il had
lowered state tascs. The legislature
of 1898 did not have the nerve To make
good the deficiency occnsioned by the
action OF its predecessor, but two years
ago Gov Rich insisted that il must be
done in order 60 maintain the honor Of
the state, which had been obliged 60
borrow large sums.
This year the state tax has again re-
sumcd It's normal proportions, the total
being 50 ,OGS, ,5S3.G2. Had the levy Just
announced been figured ON the basis Of
equalization used last year, when the
total cqualized valuation OF the state
was 81 800, ,0O0, 900, the rate would
have been very small Last week how
ever, the state board 81 equalization,
whica meets but once in Eve yenrs, re-
duced the total oqualizcd valuation 20
81, 100, 100000. Even with the loss oi
$2i ,0OO, 900 IN the cqualizcd valuation
OF the state the rate Of state taxation
this year Is but 10 mills per dollar.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The October term Of the Circuit court
for Iron county opened on Monday
morning and was brought Co n close by
Judge Stone on Wednesday evening. IL
was probably the brelest and least im-
portant session OF that court ever held
in the county. TO begin with, no jury
was empanelled for the session, and
only the civil calendar was given atten-
tion. The following cases were on the
calendar, but without exception they
were passed over the term

On Wednesday the matter of the tax
cases occupied the attention Of the court
with the following results
The entire tax of Stambaugh town

the ground that the records were silent
in regard TO any tax having been voted
by the electors OF the township.
The school tax for the township of
Iron River for the year 1891 was set
aside on tho ground of a detective esti-
mate, the board having failed TO proper

the ground OF detective record, the

The highway tax in the township OF
Atkinson was set aside, owing to the
fact that no money highway tax had
ever been voted by the electors OF that
township.
The village tax in the village
of Crystal Falls for the year 1894 was
stricken from the record, for the reason
that the council had failed To properly
return the tax to the county treasurer

The ore Market.

The amount Of iron orc shipments
continues TO excite surprise in the trade
in view OF the uutoward conditions that
have operated from the very beginning
Of the season. IL is evident that quite n
little orc is being brought down on the
the change OF doing business from the
docks before spring opens. Up to Oct. l
the total shipped from upper lake ports,
as reported to the iron ore association
was s,276.O02 gross tons, indicating q
movement Of about i,272.OO0 tons in
September. The total To Oct. /, 1898.
was S.1O5 ,212 gross tons, or 170,SS0
tons below this year's record. We con
tinuc to hear OF sales OF Bossemcr
ores, with only small movement IN
Bessemers. The possibilities oi an orc
movement above 100000 tons,
making 1896 second only to last year,
are being discussed.

A Catholic Move.

FRANKFORT, KY, June5.-The Roman
Catholic societies all over the United
States have decided to ask the presi.
dental aspirsnts what they will do il
they are elected president. This move
is due to the A. P. A. action in taking
a hand in the fight for the nomination.
1t seems that the bishops Of each do
cese, acting under instructions of the
archbishop, are writing to each presi-
Dental candidate for the republican
and democratic nomination for the pre-
sidency, asking the direct question.
"If you are elected president will you
favor legislation against the interests
of the Roman Catholic church," One
presidential candidate has received
several such letters from all parts Of
the country, but has replied TO none Of
them. From this, it seems, that the
Catholics intend to exert their inau-
ence against the A. P. A. movement.
So far as can be learned none of the
candidates who received the letter
answered it.
