ments should paw the same as the
owners of any species of personal
property. There can be no question
of conStruction-it is plain and I'M
ambiguous. We understand that the
assessors of their respective townships
lists all judgments that come to their
knowledge. If they do not they are
derilect in their duty. but there is
class of judgments which, we believe.
has never been assessed in Trego
county and which, in the aggregate,
will amount to considerable sum.
The omission to do so has deprived
the county of revenue rightfully be-
longing to it and has increased the
burdens of every individual taxpayer.
We refer to judgments of record, the
owners of which do not reside in our
county, neither have they resident
agents employed to list this property.
While it is the duty of the assessor to
diligently seek for all property that is
liable for assessment yet we believe
that these judgments to which we
have referred have never been listed
for the reason that the owners are
non-reSidents and nobody is author
lied to act for them in this matter.
1t would not be right to cenSure any
of these officers for what might seem
an apparent neglect of duty in the
past as, in all probability, their atten-
tiOn has never been called to the mat
ter, but in the future they will be ex-
pected to do their whole duty and to
work for the interest of those who,
reposing confidence in their business
ability and integrity, elected them.
When we take into consideration.
again, the fact that the owners of
those in6nnnntc nnor1Nr nj
residents the necessity for compelling
them to pay what the law clearly de-
fines, becomes more apparent and the
only wonder is that this matter has
been so long neglected. 1t is doubt
full if all judgments of record in this
county are aSSeSSable. In many in
stances, personal service was not had
on the defendants and without per
SOnal service no valid money judg-
ment can be obtained in this state
But there are many judgments that
are legal and the owners should no
more be exempt from payment there
on than the farmer should be exempt
from taxation on his horses and cat
tie and, according to the amount of
these judgments, the farmer and tax
payer generally will gain a reduction
in the amount of taxes which they are
compelled to pay. This is only plea
for fairness. 1t is only justice be-
tween man and man. Our resident
taxpayers have right to demand that
their elective officers do their duty in
this matter. These judgments are of
record in the office of the district
clerk and the assessor of Wa-Keeney
township may obtain a list therefrom
and under our statutes if they have
heretofore been omitted the taxes for
previous years may be added and all
collected at one time.

Episcopal Church Social.

The ladies of the Episcopal church
gave another of their delightful pleas
ant socials last Friday evening at the
Cleveland. Curtain and stage were
improviSed for the occasion and pro-
gramme of rare merit was presented.
If we had the space we would like to
mention each individual number for
it was all worthy of special notice.
Those in charge of the programme
displayed much judgment. 1t was all
appropriate and nothing tedious; it
was just long enough and not too
long; it seemed more like a home
or parlor social than public
entertainment and all enjoyed it to
the utmost. We hope the ladies of
the Episcopal church will conclude to
furnish us with some more. after pre-
ciSely the same order, during the
season. Herewith is the programme

these times of individual and public
economy and while our people are

Milwaukee, July 1S.-E. c. Wall. ex-

mlttee and member Of the democratic
national committee, will support Bryan
and Sewall, the nominees of the Chicago
convention. Mr.. Wall, who has been

believing that the distress and dissat-
isfaction existing among the people OF
this country today are due to the per-
nlc1ouS legislation of the republican
party for thirty years, and believing
that the supremacy of the republican
PARTY would ultimately destroy a gov
eminent by the people in this land and
believing that the ascendency of the
democratic party is the only surety for
true republican form of government
and believing that great principles car
be secured only through party Crgani-
cation, and that for effective party or
ganiZation discipline is indispensable, |
prefer Is appear Inconsistent in one
natter rather than to do violence to my
political acts and utterances of my
life. | can abide one grave error in
the platform of the democratic national
convention, rather than to encourage in
subordination, or aid, directly or indi-
rectly, the return of the republican par
ty to power in the nation. Therefore,
Notwithstanding the fact that my views
on the money question are not in &C
cord with those expressed by the re-
cent democratic national committee, |
submit and | will support and vote for
the nominees"

Jameson Says II Will Most Surely
Beat Bryan.

Chicago, July Pit transpires that
an interesting conference was held dur
Ing the democratic convention in one
of the Coliseum committee-rooms be-
tween DR.. Jameson and Henry S. Rob
bins. Mr.. Robbins, it appears, was an
Xlous to know from the willy national
committeeman what, in his Judgment
would tend most certainly to kill the
silver ticket.
eff you honest money democrats are
sincere in what you say" was jamie
sons response, you will put up an hon
est money national ticket In that
way, if [ know anything about politics
you will do most damage to the silver
ticket"
Mr.. Robbins agreed with DR.. Jamie
son. Two "big democrats from New
York, presumably Hill and Whitney
were introduced to DR.. Jameson on the
occasion by Mr.. Robbins, and to them
Mr.. Jameson repeated his opinion as
to the proper course to pursue.
Letters and kilograms urging the
holding of another democratic conven-
ton continue to come in at gold head
quarters in the Palmer House.

victory certain or endanger success by
declining to do so. He and his friends
deny and pledges being made, but Sea-
ator Allen, whose position gives him
great weight in populistic councils, is
proclaiming to his friends that if Bry-
an be selected all who rally to his sup
port will be on an equal footing
The convention is a peculiar gather
ing. There is a total absence of brass
bands and a scarcity of flags and bunt-
ing but lack of music and trappings
does not dampen the ardor of the dele
gates. The fact that few delegates are
not young is a noticeable feature
among the populists. Most of the
whiskers are dotted with grey, and
many delegates are far into the sere
and yellow, but they are full of fire
and enthusiasm.
