A DAY IN COURT.
Lawyers Go Outside the Books and
 Resort to Muscle.

There was a hand to hand contro- versy in Justice Kincaid's court yester- day. The trial of Tanaka vs. Ohnick and Masui, partners in a gardening en- terprise, was going on. The case had been on trial for three days and all the witnesses were swearing to two sets of facts The lawyers and every body had grown weary of it and felt an enmity toward each other and to- ward themselves They were ready
 to go off at a touch An unimportant disagreement regarding the manner of taking testimony arose between attorneys, J. L. B. Alexander for the plaintiff and A J. Edwards for the defense Finally MT. Alexander sug- gested to Mr. Edwards the prOpriety

THE REASON FOR THE KICK.

The task OF equaliZing the assess
ment in the various cities and town
ships OF Allen county has usually
been accomplished in two or three
days. This year the board have been
engaged in the work ten days at this
writing Thursday and are not yet
through. Nearly all of this time has
been spent on the assessment rolls Of
the city of lola, the inconsistencies and
inequalities of W ich were so numer-
GUS and 30 marked as to compel the
board to make practically new as
seesment. AS an illustration of the
Inconsistencies in valuation which the
board has had to contend with the
following cases are taken almost at
random:
Three lots and two houses in the
north part of town which were sold
recently for $500 were assessed at 800.
Three lots and one house in the south
part of tOwn-the location much bet
ter and the house containing more
tudu uolu lut db MS
sessed at $3.50. Four vacant lots on
North street, three of which were un-
der water during the late freshet,
were assessed at $500. Four vacant
lots on Madison avenue, just west of
H. NJ. Milier's residence, were assess
ed at S475. The owner of the first
bunch offered to trade three of his
lots for one of the others and the offer
was declined. Six business lots that
have been sold since March ! for
5000, were assessed at Sl900--s0 per
cent of their full value. Business prop
erty built within q year at a total
cOst-including the lot--of S226S, was
assessed at $500. A one story bust
ness room fronting a side street, on a
lot 203 feet by lO2 feet, was assessed
at $500 while a two story bust
ness house, with basement and
with ware room attached, fronting
the square, on lot 27xl20, wac asses
sed at $1,000. A business property
now on the market for 1900, Was as
sessed at $3.50. Residence property
ON the market for $3.50 is assessed at
$500. Instances like these could be
multiplied indefinitely.
1t would be interesting TO compare
assessments with values in lola and
In the country townships, but we
have space for only one or two such.
A bottom farm a mile from lola which
sold two years ago for $1,000 is assess
ed at sl4S5, while an lola business
room of one story on side street,
worth $500 at the most, is assessed at
$500. The Horville home farm with
all it's building, 100 acres, the Jacoby
farm OF 1l5 acres and the Mcdonald
farm of lis acres-not one of which
could be bought for less than $50 an
acre-are assessed in the aggregate at
S50l0 The one story building occu-
pied by the Crystal Drug Store, the

ED. HoCH calls the attention of the
critics of the war department TO some
facts that are almost startling when
they are grouped together In less
than fifty days, MIR. Hoch says, the
government has enlisted, organized,
armed and equipped one hundred and
twenty-five thousand soldiers, manu-
featured most of their Announcements,
modified them on our sea coasts,
greatly strengthened our sea coast de-
lenses, largely augmented our naval
power, practically captured twelve
hundred islands with Il population OF
nine million people, obliterated a
whole Spanish fleet, started several
thousand soldiers TO the PHILIPPINES,
blockaded all the ports of Cuba, bot
tied up second Spanish fleet, max
ing it's destruction only question OF
time battered down large number
of Cuban and Philippine coast de-
lenses, captured dozen or so Spanish
merchant ships worth several million
Of dollars, killed thousand or fifteen
hundred of the navy-sll this without
the loss of ship and the loss OF
scarcely dozen lives.

j. w. LEEDY was renominated fol-
Governor by the Populist convention
by reclamation, as the REGISTER
weeks ago predicted that he would
be. But he had to take mighty bitter
medicine in the platform along with
the sugar coating of perflmctory
endorsement. The convention re-
fused fatty to endorse the maximum
rate railroad bill which has been the
Governors pet hobby for two years,
and on the contrary demanded" the
very bill which the Governor vetoed
little more than a year ago. And
the convention demanded the i'm.
mediate abolition of the metropolitan
police system which the Governor has
cherished as the apple of his eye. II
Mr.. Leedy's greed for Office had not
asphyXiated his self-respect he would
have fatty and promptly declined to
accept an "honorn which came
weighed down with conditions is
stultifying and humiliating.

PLATFORM,
We, the Democrats of the second congression-
al district in convention assembled, renew our
allegiance TO the principles expressed in the
Democratic national platform OF 1896, and pledge
ourselves TO do our utmost to further every
principle therein enunciated
We heartily commend the administration Of
our state affairs as clean, economical and Wig
orous enforcement of the worthy laws of the
State in the direction OF reform. oficals have
been fearless, honest and unprejudiced in the
discharge of duties. Corporate greed and ra
paciiy have been held In check and made TO
publicly respect the law, the credit for which is
partially due TO the enactments OF the last legis
lature which made It possible for the officials to
curb the power of corporations.
We also heartily endorse and commend our
especially the Hon. NJ. s. Peters, for their course
In opposing the Issuance Of interest bearing
bonds and the entertainments of monopoly and
greed upon the peoples rights, and we heartily
declare that the record made by the present rep
resentative of this Congressional district en-
titles him to their confidence aud support Of
the people
We are in favor of vigorous prosecution OF
the present war with Spain TO the end that bar
barity shall cease and the sum OF human lib
erty be vastly increased.
We believe It is proper function OF society
to control all ways for transmission of persons
and property and for the transmission of intel
ligence and also to control all public ways In
cities for supplying water gas, or other service
necessarily requiring the use of such public
ways.
