,he ranges will be placed when they
arrive. This is expected to be Mon
day at the very latest.
The first thing to indicate thot tho
prisoners We're expected was rho ar-
rival of Col, James c.. Forncv n
M. G., with 80 marines. These ar-
rived, Friday afternoon.
While Col. Ferney is to have COM
mand OF the marines, who are to serve
as the guards, the island as formerly
10 remain under the command Of
Rear Admiral Carpenter. who is quar-
tered. officially. in a square building
hiied with antique furniture, located
IN the northern part of the island.
While the prisoners are not exnected
70 arrive for a day or two everything
is ready for their landing. The trans
ports are to anchor in the stream near
the upper part of the island and from
these the men are to be brought
ashore in the tug Howell which has
been chartered
The prisoners are to be landed on a
small fort, now used as a reservoir.
and from there marched to the bar
racks. The whole thing has been so
perfectly arranged that it will not be
known in town when the troops do
arrive
once on the island the men will be
so located that from the guard house
above the troops can see what is go
ing on in the barracks, this being pos
sibly on account of the fact that the
barracks are so much lower than the
suard house.
There seems to be a general impress
sion in Portsmouth that Admiral
Cervera will be located in that place
The officers in command of the fori
do not, however, believe this, in spite
Of the fact that there is large
quantity of mall many of the letters

: An OPEN LETTER.
A denial Of the Populistic ;canard that
! F. B. Fancher Forced the With
drawal Of Schmitt.
Letter of President Lutz Of the James,
: town School Board Regarding
the Matter.
Withdrawal or Resignation wa Re-
quested by the Board for the In
terest' Of the Schools,
Regarding the schmitt Matter.

The following letter from George LutZ
Of the jamestown school board to Hon.
y. b. Fancher regarding the allegations
that Fancher exercised his influence
with the board to have Prof. Schmitt,
the original nominee of the fusionists,
withdraw from the contest, should set at
rest all statements that Mr.. Fancher had
anything whatever to do with this mat
ter.- Mr.. Lutz is one of J%amcstown's
honorable and upright business mel and
his statement should be regarded us
final. He says:
JAMESTOWN, n. d., Oct. 90, 1898.
Hon. f. B. Fanchcr, Bismarck, N. d.,
DEAR SIR: I notice that some papers
in the state are continuously charging
you with having requested our board of
education to cause Prof. G. G. Schmitt
to resign the nomination of state super
intendent, which had been accorded to
him by the fusion parties. Having been
instructed by the board Of education, as
chairman of tho committee on teachers,
to communicate with Professor Schmitt
who, at the time, was at Formap and
knowing this charge to be untrue in
every particular, | feel impelled to write
to you SO that the truth shall he known.
Let us have "fair play" in North Da-
kota. It is All absolute fact that you
have. made no request whatever Of The
board of education, 0 of any member
of the board, either i'll writing or per-
sonally, .scithcr directly or indirectly.
At the regular meeting of the board of
education of jamestown, on August 2,
the candidacy of Professor Schmitt was
discussed. 1t is the custom of our board
in all matters of Importance to be guided
by the following maxim, viz: "What is
for the best interests of our schools ?"
and l was instructed to convey to Mr..
Schmitt the results of our deliberations,
} which l did in my letter dated August
g, reading as follows:
Gas to your nomination have been
instructed by the board to inform you
that you should either speedily decline
Of cancel your contract. This request
is made with the best of feeling toward
you by every member of the board and
not at all for the purpose of exercising
any pressure or influence upon you
i. either way, but simply from the only
standpoint from which the members of
the board can and should look at it, viz:
What is to the best interests of our city
schools Our Judgment vas unanimous"
I repeat that this is given to you by
mt in justice to all concerned. You are
at liberty to make proper use of it.
/; Respectfully yours;
GEORGE LUTz.

Hence Mr.. Porter includes, as disburse-
ments for general purposes the follow
ing, which he knows should not be SO
changed: Capital building warrants
and interest refunded, 1854, 841. 30: North
Dakota university bonds refunded, $2O,-
600; North Dakota penitentiary bonds
refunded, $4,000; interest on normal
school bonds, $4,SO6; refunded to treasu-
rer Mcintosh county, $500: wolf bounty,
sc; funding warrants paid, S2SO,OOO,
making a total Of 8 95S3
Mr.. Porter says "according to State
Treasurer Nichols reports" Now Mr..
Porter should notmention this unless he
is %conyersant enough with state matters
not to include such items rs are above
shown and which he does only for the
purpose Of misleading. Mr.. Porter has
made such a mess Of quoting reports
that his estimate of S15O,OOO deficiency
on Jan. LIST next is easily accounted for.
His former articles might have had
some weight, if he had not been too eager
to show some extravaganza by the rcpub-
licans.
Regarding interest on public funds,
Mr.. Porter,s attempt is to throw all
responsibility upon the supreme court.
What if the law was unconstitutional?
Nomland should have been the last per-
son on earth to bring a test case and if
interest on state funds.would not inure
to his benefit why did he bring the.
action which proved so disastrous to the
state. If the money had been deposited
under the depository law and a good
and sufficient bond given to protect each
deposit, where would have been the
responsibility Of Mr.. Nomland or any
risk to the state through it's bond Of
depositorsS.

The Matter of Assessments.

The fl on campaign managers are at
tempting to deceive the farmers of the
state with the loudly reiterated state
ments that the last republican state
board of equalization made large in
creases in the value of lands and per-
sonal property, and that.as a result of
this action the t. xes Of the farmers
throughout the state will be largely in
creased. Figures are quoted showing
the percentage Of increase on property
fixed by the board and voters are urged
to vote for the fusion ticket, as one that
will decrease assessments and taxes.
The action Of the state board Of equal
ization in making increase and decrease
of values was taken to equalize values of
property through the state, as isrequired
by law. Tho. increases and decreases
were not from the values of previous
years-not such increases as would in
crease OR decrease the taxes of the farm
ers over previous years-but were mere
ly changes from the returns of county
boards of cqualizations and assessors, in
order that taxation might be fair over
the state-that farmers in one county
should not pay taxes on property ut a
high valuation and in another at a low
valuation, according to the ideas Of
county boards of equalization. The in
justice of this would be apparent. One
county board of equalization might put
property at an excessively low figure in
order to relieve the taxpayers of that
county, and the same property in an
other county might be valued at twice
the amount. the taxes being manifestly
Unfair and disproportionate. It is to
prevent this that the state board of
equalization is empowered to adjust
property values. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that the increase in values over
county returns in any one year may be,
and in the case of the republican ad-
ministrations, frequently is, an absolute
decrease over the values of the same
property in previous years.
But since the populists and democrats
have seen tit to call attention to this sub
ject, the comparative records of the
fusionists and of the republicans in the
valuation of property for purposes of
assessment should settle the matter, and,
by the argument of the fusionists them
selves. should determine which of the
parties should receive tho vote of the
taxpayers. Below appears a statement
showing the relative values of two items,
one of real and one of personal property,
for purposes of taxation under the fusion
administration OF! 1894 and under the re-
publican administration of 1893. The
attention of voters is especially called to
this table. 1t shows the fact that, in
nearly every case, the valuation of real
and personal property has been decreased
largely by the present republican admin
istration from the figures of the fusion
administration.
A few samples will be of interest:
In Cass county, under fusion
administration, taxpayers paid on
land at an average value of $6.75
an acre. Under republican rule,
the average value is $500 an
