account of losing the handling Of
freight for Matamoros, which has

THE ePEAKERSHIP.

Henderson's luck calls attention
to the fact that the speakership for
the first time will cross the Missis-
sippi. Never before in the history
of the country has that important
office been held by a citizen hail
ing from farther west than Indiana.
Kentucky has been the most
abundantly represented of all the
states in the speakers chair. Hen
ry Clay, the first of her sons to
assume the honor, was elected
speaker of the Eleventh Congress
November a, 1871. Afterward he
presided over the house during
the first session of the Thirteenth,
all of the Fourteenth and fifteenth
part of the Sixteenth and all of the
Eighteenth congresses.
Maine comes next to Kentucky
with James G. Blaine and Thomas
b. Reed as speakers, with three
sessions each to their credit.
Andrew Stevenson represented
Virginia in the speakership for
seven years. Philip P. Barbour,
r. M. T. Hunter and John w.
Jones were elected to the office
from that state at different times.
Massachusetts men have been
speakers five times; the place has
been filled by Indiana thrice; New
Jersey three times; Tennessee,
Georgia, North Carolina twice re-
spectively. Three sons of Penn
sylvania have sat in the Speakers
chair Connecticut and Ohio have
furnished each one speaker, while
South Carolina and New York
each had speaker for term and
part of term.
One of the speakers, Polk, be-
came president, another, Colfax,
vice president and three of them
Clay, Bell and Blaine, were nomi-
mated for the presidency.

board Of county commissioners
were elected by the miners union;
and that those officers have dis
eliminated against the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan because Of the re-
fusal Of the latter to employ only
union men.
The writ is made fetufnable ia
San Francisco on July 18th, az
Judge Beatty expects to be there
at that time. The methods used
by such graspihs corporations as
the Bunker Hill 4 Sullivan com
pany, to evade the payment of
their just share of taxes are SO we'll
known that few people will believe
that they have been Disseminated
against. The values fixed upon
their property in their sworn state
ment to the assessor is greatly at
variance with the value claimed
for it when their mill was blown
up by dynamiters. AT that time
the value of the mill alone was es-
mated at $3.50, 900, while short
time before the officers of the COM
pany estimated the value of the
mill, mine, tramway, fume and
other Improvements to be worth
the modest sum of SIIo,4oo. I'm
der the present law the property
of individuals is assessed at its
cash valuation. That the proper
ty of corporations is assessed far
below its cash valuation is attested
by the fact that a railroad COM
pany before having earned a SIN
gle dollar was able to realize by
mortgage over $50, 900 per mile
on their line of road. We refer to
the kotenai Valley Railway &
Navigation company in this coun-
ty, the mortgage of which was
mentioned in last weeks issue of
The BLADE. The valuation of
railroads in Idaho is fixed by the
state board of equalization. In
this county the valuation per mile
for main lines has been SO, 500 per
mile, and for branch lines IS, 900
per mile. 1t would be we'll for the
state board of equalization to in
vestigate railroad mortgages when
fixing the cash valuation of rail
road property in the future.

THE CASH VALUATION.

The Bunker Hill & Sullivan
company of Wardner have another
grievance for which they have APP
piled to the federal authorities for
adjustment. Judge Beatty of the
federal court has been applied to
Dor ar injunction restraining As
SCISSOR Dowd of Shoshone county
sroou selling the property of the
Bunker Mil & Sullivan company
for delinquert saNes.
The petition OF the writ sets
forth that the assessment saade by
Assessor Dowd and equalized by
the county board is illegal. The
assessor called on the manager of
the company, as the petition states,
and was given sworn statement
of the value of the corporations
property. The total amount in
this statement was SIG, 400, call
ing for taxes to the amount of
s6.446.I IS. The assessor fixed the
value of the property at $3.50, 900
calling for SI2, 500 of taxes.
The board, after hearing argu.
ments on both sides, equalized the
assessment at 5000. 600. calling for
taxes to the amount of $40. 600.
The company paid the s6,446. II,
which was accepted, and the as
SCISSOR then advertised the proper
ty for sale to satisfy the balance of
the $40, 900 tax claim.
Proceeding the petition states

RICHARD PARKS BLAND.

The Omaha World Herald saws:
The republic has suffered severe
loss in the death of Richard Parks
Bland of Missouri. Without os-
tentation, but with an earnest de-
sire to be helpful to his fellows,
Mr.. Bland fought good fightNfor
humanity and by sheer force Of
ability made for himself secure
place in the history of the country.
The most bitter partisan enemies
OF Mr.. Bland never charged him
with dishonesty, and they univer-
sally conceded his ability and his
energy. Richard Parks Bland was
pioneer in the movement for the
restoration of bimetalism, and with
indomitable energy he labored in
the cause to which he had dedi-
Gated his life. In the face of the
bitterest opposition he labored
persistently and lived to see the
time when his views were advo-
Gated by majority of the Ameri-
can people and only lacking ex-
preston in law through the mach.
nations of selfish men clothed in
power out Of all proportion to their
just deserts.
Mr.. Bland was a plain, unas-
Stunning man, who made friends
and held them by reason of his
modesty and ability. He was a
firm believer in the words of Abra-
ham Lincoln, "God must have
loved the common people because
he made so many of them," and to
the common people Mr.. Bland
turned for assistance in his great
work of reform. He knew them
and trusted them, and they, as
they learned to know the man,
loved and trested him. He was
ever ready rc' sacrifice himself to
the cause he loved, and truer.
more helpful. more earnest man
has ever graced the republic in its
latter days. Stately marble shaft
is not needed to perpetuate the
memory Of Richard Parks Bland.
His memory is enshrined M Else

WHEN the cry for a reform or a
policy comes from the people it is
always brought about, is generally
permanent and gives satisfaction.
The abolition of slavery was cry
from the people. Other reforms
Of less note have been inaugurated
by the force Of public opinion or
desire. The foreign policy of this
republican administration does not
emenate from public opinion or
desire. 1t is a policy of office
holders and capitalists that is be-
ing forced on the American peo-
pie at the expense of the latter.
Some because Of polical partisan
ship or selfseeking individuals.

Man without . Country.

Senior Adolfo Vendrell. who is now
on q visit to this country, is a man
without country. AS he puts 1t, he
is "Mr. Nobody, from Nowhere. "
His case is peculiar. He is a resident
OF Porto Rico. aud had an impression
that he was citizen Of the United
States as q result Of the war with Spain.
He recently applied to the State De-
partmsnt for q passport His spplica-
ton was refused, practically on the
ground that he Is not citizen OF the
United States. He was also informed
incidentally that as Porto Rico no
longer owed allegiance to Spain, he was
not entitled to q passport from the
Spanish government.
The decision Of the department vlr-
tually holds that the people Of Porto
Rico have no country. 1t Is understood
to be based on the fact that the United
States Congress has not yet vested the
Porto Ricsus with the rights OF citi-
zenship. Secretary Hay has not affirm
ed the action of his subordinates in this
matter, but 1t is believed he will do so
on the ground that Congress alone can
fix the legal status Of the inhabitants
Of the new possessions Of the United
States.
