After the Big Tax Dodgers.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Thc tax payers
Defense League, which has been
making a strong fight upon tax
strikers, and also against unjust
assessments. has through its presi.
dent, q. s. Holbrook, addressed an
open letter to Geo. M. Pullman.
This letter calls Mr.. Pullman's at
tention to the fact that at the last
meeting at the Pullman Company
it was shown that the corporation
had assets of $63, ,OOO, 900, and $1,-
561 ,055 of property assessed in
Cook county, or l IL per cent of
the assets. In the State the show
ing was $39, GOO, ,635 OF assessable
property. The assessment of the
town of Pullman was made by acres,
when it should have been by lots,
a. q city containing residences fac
tories, hotels and banks. The as
sessment on this property is $74O
per acre for 800 acres, and nothing
on nearly 200 acres. This assess
ment means a lose to the city of
42OO, 900 annually.
The letter also comments on
the strike of 1894, which will cost
the city in damages $4,000, 600.
The letter says: "Your $63, ,OOO, 900
Of property was protected by the
courts and military at the expense
Of the State and nation. In the
midst of this trouble you left for
your summer residence, and let the
State and Federal troops and grand
jury fight your battles.
''Your company will probably
cost the city and State more money
than you have ever paid in taxes,
or will pay in the next ten years.
And what is your return for all this
pf0tecti0nf Some one has 9ener.
rously loaned the assessor a smok-
ed glass through which to strain
his virtuous eyes when he was esti-
mating the values of your property.
A generous public may be depend
ed upon for tips to poor coIored
porters to makeup for such unjust
wages as the sleeping car companies
pay, but the public will no longer
tip the county treasurer to make up |
for the missing taxes that are Just. |
y due the county from men abund-
antly able to pay.
Speaking of the strike again, the
letter says: "All these events re-
call the unsympathetic attitude you |
toward your working peo-
pie at that time. You reduced their |
wages, bat refused to reduce their |
rents; yon permitted many to work
inst long enough to earn for you

Too Bad!

The makers of Pride of Japan tree tea)
have advertised that Thos. Price, analytical
chemist Of San Francisco, and Prof 7. T.
Kingsbury of the University of Utah, have
given them certificates that the above brand
of tea is perfectly pure.
The deduction drawn from this ANALYSIS is,
that the Pride of Japan tea which you buy in
the stores is perfectly pure.
While it is quite possible to buy pure tea
like Schilling's Bsst) and pack it in Pride of
Japan packages, and submit it to chemists for
analysis; still we assert that the Pride of Tapan1
tea sold in this market is artifcially colored'
with coloring matter.
We don't know how these endorsements
were secured; but it is pity that the names
OF such eminent authorities should be used to
back up statements made in the advertisements
of Pride of Japan.
Settings Best tea is not only guaranteed
pure, but it is such tea as you would drink
yourself if you knew all about it.
Besides it is money-back, and that is backing
enough in the long run.

New York, Dec. ia week ago, dat
ing from the moment when this will
reach your eyes, you were undoubtedly
shaking your head sadly over the bru-
tallties Of the great New York bicycle
race and wondering why the authorities
OF our city permitted such d horrible
thing to so on unmolested. Well, now
that the affair is over l don't mind
saying that, ike nearly everything that
creates any stir in New York, there was
good deal of fake about the big BIZ
cycle contest and the sufferings of
those who took part. We have had so
many of these affairs here before that
when this one began the public took
very little interest in it-so little in
fact, that an evening newspaper which
had begun an elaborate system of all
day extras, found its returns COM
ing back to the counting room in
alarming quantities, While the attend
ance at the Garden was not such as to
satisfy the managers. Then the pa
pers began to glisten with stories Of
the horrible physical sufferings of the
participants and artists We're employ
ed to depict the agonized faces of the
riders, who We're described as falling
from their machines from sheer weari-
ness, and being driven back to the
track by the blows of brutal trainers.
Then people began to stop their friends
on the street to tell them what they
had heard about the human suffering at
the Garden, and straightway thousands
OF intelligent, highly cultivated men
and women left their comfortable
homes and CHEEKY firesides to invade
the foul smoky air Of the great build
ing and see for themselves what the
wheelmen We're going through. The re-
ceipts swelled with the spread of these
stories. and the extras" sold like the
hot cakes OF tradition. The public at
titude toward the race changed from
one of apathy to that of intense and
constantly deepening interest. and as a
topic of discussion it led all others. The
air was filed with rumors of riders
who We're taking cocaine and of others
who were going to be poisoned. Later
in the week, these stories having worn
