SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
Value of Board of Trade Property
Discussed.

Some interesting "reminiscences were
brought to mind by Col /. N. Gordon, John
s. Lazarus. Major Taylor and Jacob w.
Smith in a conversation they held last
night a few minutes before President Lag
meeting of the Board of Trade to order.
The gentlemen mentioned were gathered in
the secretary's private office. waiting for
the meeting to begin. Colonel Gordon
started the ball to rolling by asking Sec
rotary Smith If he had obtained certain fig,
ures which Colonel Gordon called for at
the last meeting. You wanted to find out
something about the assessment for taxa
ton of our building and ground. 1 believe"
said Mr.. Smith 10 Colonel Gordon. well
the building was assessed at $685. $50, and
the personal property at S.0l5 making a
total of $66,765. With taxes figured at 81. so
on the hundred the amount would be
sl.20l.70.
That's entirely too high valuation on
the building" said Colonel Gordon. 1--WE
couldn't get anything like that amount for
1t If we had 10 SELL"
But IL was put up in 1873. when every
thing I'm the shape OF building materials
was high" said Secretary Smith
That's all very Well, replied the colonel,
but know there was time when build
ing lots out at Irvington sold as high az
$1,000. and 1 have bought them myself for
$500 apiece. 1 think we had better have
a committee appointed TO see II the assess
ment can't be reduced"
1T ought to be fixed at about s24, oOo,"
said Mr.. Lazarus
Certainly no more" responded Colonel
Gordon.
Major Taylor interjected some reminis-
cences by stating that the building which
is pretty old one, was originally erected
by man named Henry Wilson, who leased
IL to the old indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce, an organization which gave way TO
the new Board OF Trade. Another member
of the board remembered that the first
owner made a good thing out of the
property through his deal with the Cham
Der OF Commerce.

Senator Depew has said some things
that give the consent of the govern ii
aEitators food for reflection. In 4 re-
cent speech he directed their attention
to recent events in Kentucky ana sug-
gested that they had quite a little mis-
sionary work to do for their cause in
that state before assailing the Presi-
dent and our army and navy with
charges of falsehood. brutality and op-
preston in their action in the Philip
pines. Here is a state almost in the
center Of population in this country in
which Bryan upheld and encouraged a
candidate whose success at no time
was possible except on the theory that
no matter how the people voted the
Democratic politicians would name the
governor, The kentucky situation
comes readiest to mind because it is Of
today, but it needs no argument to
prove that in scarcely d state in the
South tn" consent Of the governed is;

coffin. Tho gold standard bill comes
up for a vote in the Senate and it will
be passed by the solid Republican ma
iority. as it was in the Hous" a few
weeks ago. In tn" Senate also. as in
the House, a few Democrats will have
the courage to go on record rs favor
ing the gold standard. There is moth
ing radical or new in this important
bill; it simply legalizes and confirms
existing conditions. and establishes b.
yond all danger Of further attacks the
gold standard for this coUltry as it
already exists in almost every civilized
land in the world. It's signing by Pres

memorable and beneficial acts Of his
