Owe REASON ron OUR INDEBTED
NESS.

When in the county treasurer's Office
the other day, we were shown IA list
that had been returned from the audi
tors generals office, OF lands that are
non.assessable or described incorrectly
upon the assessment roll and from which
assessment no taxes can be collected,
The list amounted To $l0343.sS and
coyeres plrt Of 1895 and previous
years. The expenses OF ADVERTISING
alone on this Inst was 100000 and
that amount does not include amy
advertising upon the 90 part 81 the
list as those descriptions have not yet
been advertised We were informed
that similar list is returned each year.
Last years list amounted 10 81 1000.
OF course "a large portion Of the tax so
returned, arises from assessments that
court, but, taking the 1895 roll as an
example the court not having passe d
upon that roll yet, there are 500 errors
returned so far and no doubt many
more will follow. These errors are due
TO the assessing Of government land,
Homestead land, ID. NJ. & NJ. land, or
school land or by errors in the descrip-
tions lgiyen OF the property assessed.
Az nm example OF the latter we noticed
that in the village OF Crystal Falls the
assessor had spread separately the lots
OF the Donovan & Cole addition when
IA IA matter OF fact there il no such AN
addition on record. Again there are "A
number OF lots assessed in the Maple
Grove addition" when it should read
the "Mapla Grove Land and Improve
ment Company's lst addition" These
two are picked out at random from
heap OF similar errors made IN
every township in the county.
1t Is evident upon the face Of it that
these errors are due 20 either an i'm

special permission to John Philip Sousa,
"The March King" to dedicate to her
his new composition, just finished, and
which will be called 'The lady OF the
White House." Mrs. Mckinley for
warded her permission last week to the
editor of the Ladies' Home Journal,
which will publish the Sousa compost
tion complete in its next issue. This
magazine has also received for the same
number new and large portrait oil
Mrs, Mckinley, taken a few days ago
in the White House conservatory. This
is the second photograph which the
Presidents wife has allowed to be taken
within ten years, the first portrait
taken OF her since 1887 having also gone
to The Ladies' Home Journal, which
published it in its last October number,
causing the entire edition of that issue
to be exhausted.

that on his mind while travelling to the

which he returned to Washington to

him at the opening OF the session Of

Three P's, patriotism, peace and
prosperity form the keynote OF Presi-
dent McKinley's annual message to
Congress. His treatment of the annex
alton OF Hawaii, the Cuban aud other
foreign questions, including that OF
commercial reciprocity, is patriotic to
the core, without the slightest trace Of
jiugoism, and his treatment of the
financial and other domestic questions
is that of man who only desires that
which will continue and increase the
prosperity the country is now begin
ming to enjoy.

IN MEMoRIAM.

He left me in that lonely place
With tender memories OF his face,
Serenely smiling, pure aud fair,
Among the shadows OF his hair.
While far actoss the moonlit mere,
His silver accents iloated clear.
Lay him gently down to rest,
Fold his pale hands on his breast,
Close his eyes, their light has fled,
TGlling sadly, he is dead.
Smooth his wayy hair away
From the marble baow of clay,
Kiss his smiling lips so still,
Lips that nothing now can tell.
Lay pure lilies on his hair,
Those that winter would not spare,
Like his, they're crushed in bloom
Sweet for fragrance in his tomb.
Now our farewell must be said,
Leave him sleeping with the dead.
But tqis tribute we will give,
In our memory he will live.

Some of the Demo cratic papers con-
tinue to intimate that Senator Foraker
will attempt to prevent the reelection
of Senator Hanna as U. S. Senator from
Ohio. Those who are best acquainted
with Senator Foraker, believe he will
do no such thing. He has been true to
Hanna and has advised his friends
among the legislators to return the
Junior Senator. That there are Repub-
licans who do not admire Senator
Hanna is true, but if the Senator was
worthy of the appointment to the short
term, which he received of Governor
Bushnell, he is also worthy of the cleo
tion by the legislature to the full term
as the Junior Senator from Ohio.
With due respect to all parties who
may differ IN their opinions, the JOUR
NAL believes the best interests of the
Republican party will he served by
returning Senator Hanna TO the Senate.

While few newspapers oppose the
repeal of the Garfield corrupt practices
act on the ground that the repeal of
the law will be step backwards and
that it will amount to declaration
that corrupt practices in politics cannot
be prevented, as yet there are none
that venture suggestion as to how the
law should be changed.
The Blade says: "A certain amount
OF money is necessary for the proper
organization and carrying out the
details OF a campaign"
This is very true, and the exact
amount for the requirements of each
candidates individual needs cannot be
regulated by statute. There is seldom
an election when the fight is not made
more bitter against some especia
member on the ticket and in such cases
the expenses OF his campaign are neces
sarily heavier. AS yet there is no eyl
dence of any benefits accruing from the
enforcement Ct the law further thar

Judging by the comments of the
Of the Cuban provisional
government in the United States, it
would seem that the Cubans are feeling
joyful over the Presidents expressions
in his message, regarding the Cuban
situation. 7. Estrada Palma the repre-
sentative says:
81 did not expect any recommends
tion TO Congress for immediate action,
but the President has left Congress to
decide the time within which an endur-
ing peace must be established In Cuba
and intimates the necessity OF haste by
the use, in this connection. of the
words in the near future He further
says that in case of the failure of Spain
to pacify the island with the scheme
of autonomy, American interests
humanity and civilization will demand
fnrcible intervention, AS Capt. Gen
Blauco himself admits that the Cubans
in arms will not accept autonomy, the
time the President speaks OF has
arrived. 1t will be noticed that the
| President does not even suggest the
acceptance of autonomy by the Cubans
and it Is evident he would not have
written the last paragraph in the
terms he did If he believed that auton'
omy would bring peace to Cuba"

"Mac" OF the Blade hasa very plain
way Of writing truthful statements, and
the following is no exceptions:
81 believe most thoroughly that any
man or woman in America, with good
health, moral character, energy enough
to work and no false pride as to the
kind of work, can earn living. II he
siaryes, it is his own fault"
No greater truth was ever written.
Much of the poverty and distress OF the
present generation is due to the tact
that too many people are ''looking for
work and praying they may not find it,"
The people who will work and do work
are compelled TO support, by one means
or another, the great army of tramps
and loafers who have become one ofth9
greltest curses of the land. If some
change is not soon effected, it will be
necessary to introduce compulsory
labor system. and compel every able
bodied man to engage in some form OF
legitimate employment. by which he
can at least support himself.
