Assesses Everything.
Norfolk, July S.-Thc councils of this
city seem determined to collect revenue
from every source in sight. Some time
since the charge for liquor license was
cut down, and to make up the deficit par
TALLY caused by this action many indus
tries, previously assessed but nominally,

pay a license tax to do business. Rail-
way companies were taxed $500 per year
for the privilege of doing business here,
and the common council has now adopted
the ordinance drawn by Councilman Da-
Wis, prominent attorney, imposing on
railroad, canal, steamboat, steamship,
steam ferries and sleeping car companies
n tax of $500 FER year.
The people affected say that the tax is
unreasonable, and it is probable that they
will fight it. The. claim that if every
city through which they pass took similar
action they would have to go out of bus

secured injunctiors against the collection
of the license tax from them, claiming
constitutional exemption.

Richmond, Va, July 8.-The suit of
Stewart II. Ford, the son of the well.

divorce from his wife, Mrs. Loretta Small
Ford, promises to be one of the most sen.
sational ever known here. The defend

before. She was divorced from her first
husband shortly after their marriage.
day Mrs. Ford, through her father,
fled n cross bill and an answer to the
memoranda filed by her husband In the
chancery court a week ago. The answer
filed by the wife to day is one of the most
scathing arraignments Of the plaintiff
probably ever entered in similar case In
Virginia
The pretty defendant says she was mar
ried to Stewart Ford In ST. Paul's
Church, Richmond, on September 0, 1896,
after a short acquaintance. She had no
friends who "might have given her warn
ing knowledge of said Ford's unsavory
reputation. - His bearing was that of n
gentleman and he made ardent love to
the oratrix, whose doubts were set aside
by his persistent protestations of affec-
ton and solemn assurances that he was
&C high standing in Richmond and WAS
possessed of an income of $40, 600 year
and that she should live in luxury and
ease. Deeming him to be IL Virginian,
and 60 having the high opinion of him
that the Southern woman has of the gen.
uine Virginian, she believed his words to
he truth, instead of falsehood, and in an
evil hour consented to wear his wedding
| ring and name. Since that time, she
alleges, her existence has been tortured
by 'the cowardly and nmanly persecu
tions of her husband" His conduct, she
says, was such as to shut the doors os the
homes of those persons in Richmond with
whom she would otherwise have associ-
ated. She was deprived of all contact
with others than her husband and his
kindred, "whose ceaseless contentious
and Savage hatred for each other rendered
her lot the harder to endure"
Mrs. Ford proceeds To make specifically
serious charges against her husband, MS
sailing his character. She enumerates
diamond rings, horse and carriage and
other personal property which she claims
Ford took and sold without accounting
| to her therefor.
In February, 1897, Mrs. Ford alleges
that he knocked her down and while she
wason the floor poun led her with his
fists and kicked her with his feat unit
her pody was covered with pitiful discol
orations and her clothing torn to shreds
so that she needed the services of n nurse

weyler's Paper Promises.

Our 'Greenbackers' should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiments being tried. eff greenbacks
put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
i've weapons against Cuban rebels?'-
reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promises to pay Oh one side of
piece of paper and picture of well
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment is bound to be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
Uses for their face value is subject to in
slant imprisonment in jails where con-
finement means almost certain death.
Of course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
as good as money made from costly
metals. What boon plenty of money
would be to mankind Success to Wey-
ler's experiment and death to the traitor
who tries to prevent its success by rails
ing prices or by refusing to accept Wey-
ler's handsome promises!

THE Keller bill to appropriate S., 600
for the purchase of sugar beet seed
and to provide for the distribution OF
the same, was taken from the table in
the house on Saturday and placed up
on its final passage. Messrs. Don
nelly, Feig, Johns, Abbott, Bigelow
and other members discussed the best
action to be taken in the securing and
distributing to the farmers this Ger
man seed which experiment has shown
is best suited to the belt which runs
through Minnesota. 1t is provided
that the farnl> IS who have made appli-
cation for seed be supplied by the state
treasurer, who shall upon the pay
ment of the cost price, deliver the seed
and accept receipts for it. Some mis-
apprehension that the necessity of
sending to Germany for this seed
would make planting this spring an
impossibility, was set at rest by the
explanation that the seed was from
Germany, but could at this time be OBJ
tanned in this country. After some de-
sultory discussion the senate bill was
passed.

Government Must Control Mines.

The Bankers Magazine for March
finds the origin of our present troubles
about silver in the demand that the
ratio of its value to gold shall be deter
mined by the government 1t is. how
ever, no proper part of the duty of the
government to try to fix the ratio of
values of the two metals.
Being says The Bankers Maya
zine, commodities as well as money,
and being commodities before and after
they are money, and being mrney sim
ply and only because they are commodi-
ties, and being commodities because
they have recognized and intrinsic value
independent of any action of govern
ment, and even in the absence of govern
ment, and being therefore severally sub
ject to all the laws of commodities, the
law of variable supply and demand and
value among others, and these varia-
tions not being uniform for both metals,
it is impossible that government can
ever fix the ratio of their value.
eff, however, it should be insisted
that it is the function and duty of gov
ernment to (try toy fix the ratio of their
values, it would seem to follow as a
logical consequence that, since their
relative value depends absolutely On the
relative supply of the two metals it is
the primary and plain duty of govern
ment to fix (regulate) their supply by
controlling and operating the gold and
silver mines, the sources of their pro-
duction. 1t should do both things or
neither, and it is preferable that it
should do neither. 1t is folly to expect it
to do the former without doing the lat

decides how much silver and how much
gold are to be produced yearly, it is i'm.

WHAT is MONEY!
Subject Clearly Explained by Coiiege
President at 4 Farmers Convention.

Subject Clearly Explained by College
President at 4 Farmers Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton wis Journal OF
an excellent address by President Whit
ford of Milton college before the farm
ers' convention at recent meeting at
Milton. It contains some very lucid
statements of money and OF the power OF
governments to fix value:
First. separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money, one being
the intrinsic or market value of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularity
called money has only one OF these
values.
Second. 1.-The common practice OF
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
having greater market value according
to it's weight, for use in the larger ex-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for system of bimetallism.
Third. Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which is
made of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable in these metals.
Fourth. market value of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ey. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used as
medium of exchange. But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws of trade, not by the edicts of
government.
Fifth. itself cannot fix
or control the market value or price of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in the practical arts.
So it cannot make fiat money and COM
pei the people to circulate it great
length of time as money of any sort.
Sixth.-Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
deemable in the latter. Whenever coin
shows even slight inferiority of its
market value to it's face value, it tends
at once to crowd out of use even coin
whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh. has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard of values
because of its greater market value, its
less weight for given sum of money
and it's least fiuctuation in market value
of any of the precious metals.
Eighth. Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ne, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value
