4 TERRIBLE RECORD.

Here are some figures that ought to
make every gold bugs hair stand on
end. The deeds filed in the office of
register John j. kempf Of Milwaukee
county, during 1895, amount to &c.
9lo, OH. 30 and the mortgages filed dur
ing the same time foot up $40. 76l, IA.
And Milwaukee is no worse, proba bly,
better off, than most large cities in
the union.
A money system that compels sucn
horrible increase Of debts is worse
than barbarism.-it is suicidal bob
Schilling's Advance.
1t used to be the boast of Milwau-
kee that it was settled by thrifty Ger
mans: and that there was scarcely a
mortgage to be found in the city, and
every citizen was freebooter. But
that was before the two old parties
got in their work. Even German in
dustry and economy are not equal to
the stealing capacity Of the Money

that l write you in regard to this
matter, but. see no other way Of get

principles were in controversy, the

would get facts from yourself, to re-
flute his grave charge. l feel confident
that you Will answer this, and there
by silence one of the many, who reck-
lessly make statements regarding
public men Of repute. remain yours
truly, GEO. w. IRWIN.
We are glad to have our friends
write us about any such statements.
Lies are like snails that crawl around
in the dark, but wither in the light.
There is not word Of truth in the
state ment referred to. We were not
in the 'woodchuck" business, except
to kill them. We call on this SANDER
er to give the date and the bill and
the circumstances: and we ask Mr..
Jones whether he fathers any such
falsehood. We were in the Legisla-
ture the greater part Of twenty years,
and it is easy to spread a general
SANDER over such a length of time.
But come down to details. What was
the 'woodchuck?" The old bills are
all preserved in the Secretary of
States otfice;-let this fellow put his
finger on the "wOOdchuck. The
daily papers were all our enemies
they must have noticed any such ex-
posture Of a prominent leader of the
opposition to their masters. Quote
the papers. Come! Trot out your
proofs. When we had our big law
suit against the Pioneer-Press, for
damages, they did not pretend that
there was anything in our legislative
career that was assailable, but went
back twenty-five years to our congress
sional record and tried to establish
something on the testimony of
that inexpressible fugitive, Bill King,
who made, while Congressman,
such a magnificent charge on
Canada, with the officers of the law
close behind his horizontal, flying
coat-tals. If we get into any trouble
with England it would be good idea
to have Bill repeat that charge. All
Canada would lock up their spoons
and collapse if they saw Bill coming.
But why did not the Pioneer Press
drag net, with Flandrau & Co., acting
in the double capacity CT lawyers and
detectives, haul up this dead wood
chuck to the surface?-ED. REP.
p S-Reading over our friends let
ter again we notice that his inform
ant says the "wOodchuck" business
occurred eight years ago,-that would
be in 1888; and there was no session Of
the Legislature in that year! And we
were not in the House or Senate in
1889. Nine years ago we were in the
House. Let him devote himself to
the Journal of that year.-ED. REP.

THEY RE FOR QUAY.

Pennsylvania's great and distin-

had himself endorsed, yesterday, by
the republicans Of his state. The meet

OF the famous Washington's birthday

TT rs IMPORTANT

On the ninth page the Standard
prints this morning the text of a de-
cision rendered last Monday by the su-
preme court of the United States in re-
iation TO the taxing of surveyed rail-
road land. The decision is of great i'm
portance in all the states where rail-
road lands are held.
The case which has now been dis
posed of by the supreme court started
in Nevada, where an action was
brought against the Central Pacific
railroad for the collection of a tax
which the railroad company had re-
sisted In that state a district court
held that the state was entitled to re-
cover for taxes levied upon patented
lands and for taxes levied on unpat-
ented lands that had been surveyed.
but on which the cost of the survey
had not been paid. but that the state
could not recover for taxes levied on
unsurveyed land.
The judgment rendered by the dis
trict court was affirmed by the su-
prene court of Nevada. The case was
then carried to the supreme court of
THE United States. with the result that
the original decision is upheld The
outcome is that the state of Nevada is
entitled to levy taxes upon patented
railroad lands and, as well. upon lands
which have not been patented but
which have been surveyed and on
which the cost of surveying has not
been paid. And in this matter. what
is true in Nevada has application in all
states where railroad land grants are
found.
The decision signifies that all lands
held under grant by railroad corpora
tions and which have been surveyed
are liable to tax; the railroad compa-
mics cannot evade the tax by failing to
file patents.
