rather than any sentimental reason,
is said to be the cause of her choice
of Bellows Falls as place of resi-
dence. The Vermont tax law calls
for a sworn inventory. If this is not
given the listers double the real es-
tate valuation and assess the personal
property tax according to their judg-
ment. care being exercised by the
ordinary Vermont lister not to assess
any heavier than the person will be
likely to stand
That Mrs. Green appreciates this
quality Of the local listers is shown
by her remark that the listers there
are gentlemanly lot of fellows, not
nearly SO inquisitive as those of New
York.
Investigation of the Bellows Falls
records shows that Mrs. Green first
became a legal resident there in 1889,
paying at that time. and up TO and
including the year 1898, taxes on $780,
600 personal property. In 1894 a new
board of listers succeeded in mate
rally increasing the list. She then
paid on $11,G00 real estate and $4,000
personal property, and on $4,000 as
trustee. Her husband, as trustee,
paid on $4,000, and her daughter Syl-
via on $1,000, making total of SAL
600 for the Green family. In 1895
she paid on 100000 real estate and
100000 personal; Mr.. Green on $4,000
in his own name and $4,000 as trustee.
In 1896, 1897 and 1895 she paid on
100000 real estate and $4,000 per-
sonal, and Mr.. Green on $1,000 in his
own name and 10000 as trustee. In
1899 she was taxed only on her real
estate, as SIZE desired to change her
residence to Hoboken, n. ]. Her rea-
son for this was because of litigation
in which she was engaged,
This year, 1900, Mrs. Green has

The most important feature of the
recent state election in Alabama was
the victory for the limitation of the
suffrage. This issue was practically
the only one prominent in the cam
paign, and little or no fight was
made against it, the democrats win

a unanimous democratic legislature.

1t will seem to sensible people al
most incredible that the chairman of
the democratic national committee
could make such statements in Il pub
lie speech. But Hon. James n Jones
did it.
More than two months after the
election of 1896 he uttered the asser-
tions quoted.
The occasion was no less serious
than an address before the legislature
of Arkansas. Senator Jones had Just
been elected to his third term in the
United States senate. On the Goth of
January, 1897, the senator appeared
before an informal joint session of his
state legislature at the capitol in Lit

representatives. the legislature. and
then he proceeded to discuss the de-
feat Of Bryan. speaking as the chair
man OF the democratic national COM
mittee and the head of the manage
ment of the democratic campaign. He
said that he 'believeu devoutly that
Bryan had been elected and was
swindled out of the presidency"
He declared his belief that in 1900
the bimetallic forces would win a
great victory" This s.lIl makes 16 to

He reasserted his conviction that
the principles he spoke for were alb
solutely essential to the welfare OF
the country" That is l6 to /.
The senator spoke for over an hour
Running through his speech were two
principal thoughts. One was this
idea that republican success had been
achieved through the Ignorant for

resented in the name of the native
southern population which was more
American"
The other central idea with the sen.
ator was the injustice of the unequal
