In the afternoon, along one of the finest
highways in England we drove threuef
WafWlch,and to kenilWorth, reaching the
latter place rather late in the day. Tired
somewhat by the long Journey and under.
the spell of the ruins, more inclined to
th.nk and to mediate than to talk, the
TOURISTS scattered about the grounds and
seated themselves upon the grass. The
DAY was an ideal one. The mild after
noon was drawing to a close and the
rent and broken walls were casting long
shadows when We finally rose TO leave
l am not sure that we can fairly aralyze
the feelings that master a visitor to a
place such as Kenilworth A few DAVIS
oetore we had visited the magnificent pal
aces OF Fontairbieau and Versailles, and
from the lofty terraces of St Cloud had
locked over the great city of Paris. Sure
~ much history attaches to these places,
but no such profound feeling mastered us
In those mighty dwelling places OF an
abomlnable monarchy as at Wentworth
A vast history belongs 10 this and kindred
ruins in Great Britain and influences
move from them possibly quite as great
now as in the days of their splendor
when royalty and nobility held reyel with
IN their walls. What is the Influence
and why does 1T operate SO powerfully to-
day, let some philosopher answer.
All too brief was our stay in England
anu WIN extreme reluctance we iolrney-
ed from London to Southampton to take
passage by the great steamship fl.
passage by the good steamship Deutscf-
land ON Aug. 26th. On that night at
1889, facing a strong head winI that
drove the white foam of waves high over
the mole at Cherbourg. we began the
westward journey. With an energy that
was ceaseless, throbbing, the great ship
held steadily on its homeward course.
Sometimes there were mist and rain; once
a decidedly stormy sea and then again
glorious summer seas with their gleanaings
and flasaings, and the s.lvery sheen of
their far-om beauty.
The last night followed a day in
which there had been mist md
fog but the land breeze cleared them
away and the heavens were full of Sc
rene and silent beauty, and the
new moon stood above the ship and built
its bridge of fisht ever the waxelets of the
sea to the lard toward which we were
Fastening and where those whom we
longed to see we watching for cur ar
rival. When the twelfth hour of the
sixth day was passed We entered the har-
Dor of New York found a number of let
tiers from friends awaiting u.s. by which
we learned that all things had gone well
during our absence, and with supreme
confidence we looked squarely at the Off
GERS of the custom house.

short session was held, and the board
adjourned until tomorrow morning.
Some unfinished items with reference to
st. Louis county We're the only ones dealt
with, and the following action was taken:
Schedule 10, dealing with moneys Of
unincorporated banks, bankers, brokers
or stock jobbers, was considered, and the
assessment raised 20 per cent.
With reference to the village of Hib-
bling, the assessment on credits of unin-
corporated banks was raised an even 100
per cent
In Duluth, bonds and stocks, other than
bank stock, were assessed 20 per cent
higher than the former rate.
J. C. Mischler, Duluth, the member of
the board who is primarily responsible
for the 10 per cent reduction on real
property in Duluth. Minneapolis and st.
Paul, is receiving congratulations from
many quarters.
In conversation with a G o b e re-
porter yesterday he expressed himself as
having been actuated to recommend this
step by a consideration of the fact that
for many years past real property in all
three cities had been assessed considera-
bly, higher than it could be sold for He
thought that more could be done along
the same line, but is content for the
present with the start that has been
made.
AS requested by the state board of
equalization, County Auditor Johnson
has submitted for the boards considera-
ton a statement of the assessments OF
the city railway company, the Mergen-
thaler Linotype company and of the Sub
way company.
The street railway cempany's return
was $1,060,900, which was Increased by
the county board to 81 1O3.06o The real
estate is assessed at $189,940
The county attorney, says Auditor
Johnson, has given a verbal opinion that
the linotype company cannot be assessed,
and the subway company has no personal
property except q twenty-year franchise
granted in 1888. 1t is a Chicago corpo-
ration.
The board expects to complete its work

THE STATE AUDITOR CARELESS
ABOUT FACTS IN A PoLtT-
ICAL ADDRESS
HISTORY PRINTS HIS ERRORS
His Charges Against the Work
Of the Democrats OF Min
nescta Start Off With
Error.

State Auditor Dunn delivered an adj
dress at Milaca the other night, in which
he attacked the administration of Gov
Lind. His address is apt to look like a
sand sieve, even before the Democratic
campaign committee directs its atten-
ton to the charges if it does SO at all
The G / De has received two commune
cations on the speech already, pointing
out the inaccuracies of the charges. If
two of them are based on fiction, it is
likely that there is a strong vein of 70
nance running through 1t ALL Here is
one Of the articles exposing Mr.. Dunn:
To the Editor of the G. O e: Being
o o OF correcting an error which
appears IN the speech Of State Auditor
Dunn, recently delivered at Milaca and
published in the Pioneer Press OF the
I'D inst. and relieving the Denlocrat tic
true history of the issue Of the old state
railroad bonds, about which very few
OF the present generation are conversant,
and, from what Mr.. Dunn asserts in his
speech, he evidently knows nothing HIS
first charge against the Democratic party
is stated as follows:
I'm 1857 there was a Democratic gov
ernor and Legislature. The particular re-
form engendered at that time-the forma-
tive period Of our state-When 1t was
first emerging from its territorial swad-
ding clothes into the freedom and re-
sponsibilities of statehood-was the load
ing upon the new state of a bonded debt
of 81, 90, 0GO"
He refers In this statement to the
railroad bonds that were issued about
that time, and more untrue and mis-
leading charge never was made. The
Democrats had no more to do with it
than the Republicans; it was charged be
to the folly of the entire population, and
every step that was taken to bring it
about was sanctioned by an almost unan-
imous vote Of the people.
The best proof ] can present of the
accuracy of my assertion Is by quoting
an extract from a recent history of Min
nesota, written by Judge Flandrau, with
out any reference whatever to politics,
and which is, to my knowledge abso-
lutely correct in all its statements: Judge
Flandrau was at the time of the voting
and issuance of these bonds one of the
judges of the supreme court of the state,
and. as the extract from his history
shows, was, with the governor, opposed
to their issue, but was overruled by the
other members of the court

clined, so many unfortunate events be-
long to its past history, but any regret
that we may have felt that day for the
horrors of past wars, 4or for the truly la
mentabIe death Of Joan d Arc, which the
sight of Rouen suggested, nature was in a
mood too blithesome, and fields Were too
attractive and landscapes too fair to per-
nit the most c0ntenplatiVe Of travellers to
be otherwise than cheerfully satisfied.
We Joined the crowd that packed it
self upon the little channel steamer and
composed 0urself for the unalloyed en-
joyment of the tumultuous favors of what
Shakespeare is pleased to call "the Vastly
Deep" Alas! here there is break in the
endless pleasure that had dragged its
length" the entire sSGistance Of cur wan
derings, and the btiefer The reference to
it the better. We had scarcely left the
treakWater when the waves began to
dash over the decks and the ship was
tossed about like a shell upon the wat
ers.' The inevitable happened First a SEN
satien that was decidedly peculiar; then
painful, and finally SO completely over
whelming that deiicacy forbids a descrip-
ton of what followed. Suffice it to say
that bedra ggled Travellers in a condition
where appearances counted for nothing at
all, beheld the. chalk cliffs of England
after hours of agory, with satisfact ON
fore. However, a comfortable ride to
London, the meeting with old friends, and
the comforts Of a good English hotel
combined to dissipate what a few hours
before we had regarded as a settled mel
ancholy, and we slept soundly and restful-
ly that night.
The following day we visited the Shake
speare country, reaching StratforG-on-
Avon about 10 o'clock in the morning
The beauty of the summer morning was
not lost upon the tourist who, for some
reason that they could not explain, felt
that after all this was the fairest of all
lands visited. A silvery mist hung over
wood and field and heightened the beauty
of the country through which we passed
Farmers quietly pursued their occupa-
tons; herds of cattle and flocks of sheep
grazed on pastures or rested beneath the
great wide spreading trees. Surely the
middle class of England have reason to
be thankful. We had previously visited
Stratford but this clean, quiet town, be-
side a gentle flowing stream, charmed
us as completely as-upon the occasion of
our first visit. 1t is in every way an at
! iractive place.

HAD TO Pay A GOOD DOLLAR.
George Bennett Passed a Bad One
but Had to Make 1t Good.

George Bennett, a grocer at $50 Jackson
street, received a visit from Secret SerY-
ice Agent S. A. ConneH yesterday, as a
result of a counterfeit silver dollar pass
ed on Matthias Trumner, teamster for
Nelson, Morris & Co.
Trummer reported to the department
the facts in the case, and stated that the
grocer, while admitting that the coin
was bad, refused to make restitution
when asked to do so. Agent Cornell made
an investigation, but the evidence OBJ
tanned was not sufficient on which to
base an arrest, and after eonfiscating the
coin and seeing that a good enc was given
to the teamster in its place, allowed Ben
nett to go.

An OLD Time English Election.

The only contest which occurred at
Cation within historic memory was
curious enough. Sir Mark Wood, who
had been one of its members for sever
NJ years, had as his colleague in the
parliament of 1912 Sir William Con-
greve, the inventor of the famous "Con-
greve rocket" The latter resigned in
1916, and the baronet wished his own
son to fill the vacancy.
There were only three voters in the
constituency, Sir Mark, his son and his
butler. named Jennings, but as the son
was away and the butler had quarreled
with his master an opportunity was af-
forded for a singular revenge. Jen-
nings refused 10 second Sir Marks
nomination of his son and proposed
himself, and n deadlock was averted
only by Sir Mark coming to terms with
the refractory butler. whose nomina-
ton he seconded in order to induce him
to act as seconder to his son.
Matters being thus put formally in
train, Sir Mark arranged with Jen-
ninGs that the formers vote should be
alone given, and the final state of the
poll at Cations only known contest
stood thus: Wood Cory, /; Jennings

White VIII Live.

1t will be cheering news for many
Rock Island friends that John A.
White, who was so severely injured
in Peoria Oct. 9, promises to win out
in the valiant fight he has made
against death, though his physicians
thought for many days that it must
surely be losing fight. The Peoria
Hersld-Transcript says he is steadily
growing stronger, taking consider
able nourishment, and his only worry
the past week was that he couldn't go
to the polls and vote. He saws he
will be able to leave the hospital and
90 home in two weeks, and if his i'm
provement continues he probably
will be.
