Nearly Twenty Millions of Railroad
Values Returned for Taxation.
Tallahassee, Fla, March 4.-The annual
report of Controller Reynolds, recently
filed with the Governor, is replete with
facts upon the subjects of valuation of
properties in the state, and the amounts
of taxes assessed and collected for vari-
Gus authorized purposes upon these sew
eral kinds of property. Upon such ques-
lions the report practically amounts to
census of Florida for the year 1885, 1t is
a very thorough piece of work, and re-
fleets great credit upon Mr.. Reynolds.

count of its value to the people of Florida.

CUT DOWN PLURALITY.
Republican Vote In Massachusetts,
Shows a Falling Off.

Boston, Mass, Nov S.-The vote Of
Massac husetts for governor complete is
as follows:
Crane, Republican. 16S S75.
Paine, Democrat. 103,S14
Republican plurality 65,052.
The vote of 1898 was:
WolcOtt, Republican, 191. 146.
Bruce, Democrat, 107. 800
Republicans regard the result as an
endorsement of the policy of the ma
uonal administration in the Philippines.
On the other hand. the Democrats.
pointing to the great loss in the Repub-
lican vote, claim that Massachusetts
has thereby entered a protest against
expansion. Especial emphasis is laid
upon the fact that $4,000 Republicans
refrained from voting
Ihe Democrats are jubilant over the
victory in Boston, which. after giving
a Republican plurality for governor in
the past three years. gave Paine plu-
rality of $500. 1t is claimed that this
forecasts the election of Democratic
mayor in December.
The Democrats gained seven seats in
the legislature-twO in the senate and
five in the house. There were many
close contests and a feature in several
of them was the strength of the social
fst Democrats.
In some towns the nominees of the
latter party were given a larger vote
than that received by either the Re
publican or Democratic opponents. al
though they were able to carry OMIT
two entire districts

Columbus, o., Nov. S-The Stats
ticians at the Republican headquarters
have been busy all day and night, en-
deavoring to secure some accurate fig
ures on the plurality of Judge Nash,
the Republican candidate for governor,
and tonight an unofficial table of plu-
ralities by counties was completed.
This shows that in fifty-seven coun-
ties Nash has "a. 399 over Mclean. and
in thirty-one counties Mclean has "a
OBS over Nash. This gives Nash over
Mclean in the state 1854.
1t is not believed the official returns
will make any important change in
these figures. No figures are available
ON the total vote in the state. as the
committee sought to obtain only plu-
ralities. Notwithstanding efforts were
made to get the vote for Jones, returns
have been secured from only forty of
the lightweight counties. These in
clude the counties in which the heav-
lest Jones vote was pOlled and show a
total of $4,000. The remaining counties
will swell the Jones vote to 100, OOO

golden opportunity to put that express

is especially the province of American
women to promote this cause, but il
is woman's function to foster and nour-
ish the suffering. American. people are
more adept at it, we believe, than any
others.
