that 1t was done for the purpose OF de-
frauding the city of New York of taxes.
"It now becomes him." said Mr.. Hill,
Indignantly, "to charge the secretary of
the treasury with fraudulent intent.
Furthermore, II he had gone deeper into
the Investigation, he would have ascer-
tained that the city could not lose the
taxes upon the property"
Therefore, the disrsputable charges that
tho secretary Of the treasury did any
thing fraudulently falls to the ground,
said he. Applause on the Republican
side.
Mr.. Richardson replied In two min
ute speech. Neither Mr.. Hopkins nor Mr..
Hill, he said, had made any answer to
his questions as to why the secretary OF
the treasury had not taken paper credit
for 80, 265. 600 instead Of 81. els. 600.
He insisted that the failure to answer
left open the question as to taxation.
He also questioned the right Of the Ma
tional City bank with capital Of y, oOO.-
600 to buy real estate to the amount of
half OF Its capital.
In closing the debate Mr.. Dalzsll Of

The House then proceeded to ths call

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN 4. 1900.
To the Republicans Uf Maine:-Prior
to 1902 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated In State con-
vention, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are q por-

ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nomina-
ton by convention representing no less

Hence, all the candidates of o party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
In State Convention, and have there

PRINCIPLES OF OSTEoPATHY.

the result of the natural action of the
functions of the body. Disease is un-

Our reference last week to the coun-
ty attorneys statement that he would
cause the arrest of Mrs. Nation for libel
If she were woman OF sane mind seems
to have stirred up the animals consider
ably. 1t is amusing to see the pap
suckers rush to the rescue of their tools
when they get into deep water. Now
we submit in all fairness that the IN
DEX made no charge against Mr.. Grif-
fin. We simply said that If he has suf-
ticient evidence to prove that Mrs. Ma
tion is insane it IS his official duty to
bring proceedings in probate court and
cause her to be taken to the asylum and
be treated. If she has libeled him he
should convince the public of that fact.
The county attorney is in very en-
barrassing position and we have ample
cause to be grieved. He is one of Bar
ber soqpty's public officials and it pains
us to even have II hipted that his
dignity is not what it should be.

Raised by Commissioners s47,os

Total. ......... .............S0 S0l7 ,377
In Kiowa township the Board raised
the assessors figures as usual. The
following are the most important:
j. w. Metz from $l42l to $500.
Metz Lumber Co., from $499 to $535.
York Key Mer. Co. from 1900 to 2200.
Waltner Mer. Co. from 1900 to 1000.
r. d. Herold 1920 to $500.
The Ranney Alton Gro. Co, was re-
duced from $500 to $500 and the Wich:-
ia Wholesale Gro. Co. was lowered
from 1896 to $500. They are both for
eign corporations. The majority of The
board are republicans and comment is
unnecessary. Commissioner Walker
kept out of the Kiowa raise entirely.
In Medicine Lodge B. +. Glasier s. Co.
were raised from $697 to $3.50; w. G.
Sellers from $142 to $3.50; Gem Drug
Co. from Sl55 to $500.
The raise In valuation will still leave
less taxable personal property than we
had last year. Last year it was $5S2,
1868.
The commissioners preferred to raise
valuations instead of levieS or proba-
bly, they will catch the taxpayers at
both ends. Our taxes are high but the

BARBER COUNTY CATTLE.

The following is list of cattle by
townships, in Barber county, this year
and last, as shown by the returns of
the township assessors. 1t will be un-
derstoOd, however, that this statement
does not show the entire number of
cattle in the county this year. 1t sim.
ply shows those on the tax rolls. The
exempt on this year permits many to
escape taxation. Last year cattle were
assessed at full value and the $500 ex-
emption deducted afterward. This
year they are assessed at one-third val.
ue and the $500 deducted. It is safe to
say that there are at least one-third
more cattle in the county this year
than are shown on the tax rolls:

The supreme court decided against
the Kiowa school board last week in
the Fran case. The case is of several
years. standing and its elimination
settles question which has long been
IN dispute. In the term of '95 Ray
Fran refused to observe religious ex-
ercises at the opening of school lin the
morning, claiming that it was interfer-
ing with his religious liberty. He was
reprimanded a number of times but
persisted in refusing to observe or par
ticipate in the exercises but devoted
the time to his books. Finally lie was
expelled and he at once begun man
damus proceedings against the Board
in The district court and was success
full. The Board appealed the case to
the supreme court and judgment was
rendered against them. The case was
very thoroughly presented by both sides
as it was test of the law involving
constitutional rights. The school board
was represented by c. w. Ellis OF this
city and Fran was represented by A.

The county commissioners revised
the work OF the township assessors very
materially this year. The valuation of
all personal property was raised 10 per
cent, and real estate in four townships
was raised as follows:
Aetna so per cent.

MingOna per cent.
Nippawalla 25 per cent.
The valuation of personal property in
the various townships is as follows.
These are the figures returned by the
trustees. The raise made by the com.
missioners should be added to the re
spectlve amounts to ascertain the
amount of taxable property:
