Mattoon, ILL.,, Nov. 16.-Flnal action
has been taken whereby Coles county
will be enriched by the recovery OF over
100000 in back taxes. In the winter of
1898 the county board OF review en-
ployed experts to Investigate the mort
gage records. They unearthed q vast
amount OF notes running back to 1894
on which taxes had never been paid.
They reported to the board OF review.
The property.holders affected, several
hundred all told, appeared before the
board and objected to the assessment on.
the plea that the board had no legal au-
thority to make any levy prior to 1899.
The board, however. ordered the taxes
extended for five years pack. The state
supreme court has now decided that the
boards action was legal and Judge f.
*. Dunn, of the circuit court, has
therefore dissolved the temporary in
junction he granted and has directed the
county clerk to make the levy.

Good REPORTS Received.

Washington, Nov. l6.-At the Russian
embassy it was stated yesterday that
there was no undue apprehension cons
corning the health of the car. He is at
present in Liyadia. and the pure mount
ain climatetis II of the healthiest in the
world. His health for several months
previous had been exceptionally good,
and this attack is therefore thought, n
der the circumstances. to be very light,
and in all human probability of a very
transient character. 1t is said that had
1T occurred at ST. Petersburg, where the
climate is naturally trying, there might
have been cause for grave apprehension.
which could not properly arise in the
present event. All the officials at the
Russian embassy agree in the state
ment that the cabled accounts are no
doubt greatly exaggerated.

WHAT THEY SAID OF TARIFF.

Here are some republican opinions on
tariff trusts complied by the New En-.
gland Free Trade League.
Governor Mount, of Indiana, Decem.
Der, 1899, speaking to the Indiana hotel
keepers: 81 emphatically favor remov.
ing all tariff protection from every in.
dustry that belongs to a combination
formed in restraint of trade.''
Chicago Tmes-Herald, March, 1899:
"Most certainly it should he the duty of
congress, in both branches of which the
republicans have majority, to abolish
or suspend the protective duty on the
products of any industry which has
been organized into q trust and which
has arbitrarily raised the prices of such
products"
Hon. John Sherman in United States
senate, October 18th, 1899: "When-
ever this free competition is evaded or
avoided by combination Of individuals
or corporations, the duty should be re-
duced and foreign competition properly
invited"
st. Paul Pioneer Press, April, 1900:
"The whole list of protected monopo-
lies ought to be brought within the pur.
view of a tariff reform which would en-
able foreign competition to put limit
on their ability to raise prices"
Ex-senator Washburn, of Minnesota,
said in an interview in the New York
Tribune Of September IL, 1899: "The
republican party, whether justly or. un-
justly. is associated with trusts in the
minds of the masses. AS a party we
have reached crisis where we have got
to call halt. The republican party
has got to disconnect itself fron trusts.
