As to Assessments.

Up to Tuesday of this week County
Clerk Lutschg has received reports
from the clerks of 40 Kansas counties
concerning the basis of assessment
agreed upon. Of the 40 counties, 43
of them take the total valuation of a
mans personal property at actual
value then from that deduct the $500
exemption, allowing only the $500 ex-
emption as the law contemplates. Six
of the 4e divide by 4, or 2-as the
case may be-as Barton county
assessors have been doing, and THEN
deduct the S2oo, thus giving heads of
families an exemption of 5000.
Of the 40 counties, 4 assess at. full
value, or 100 per cent; ats per cent;
II at SO per cent: 4 at 40 per cent; "a
at s33 per cent; at 80 per cent; 8 at
IS per cent, and I at 20 per cent NC
Pherson county. But Mcpherson
takes the exemption from the ACTUAL
value.
Scott county assesses everything
but cash at IS per cent-cash at 1oo
per cent.
Allen. Decatur, Chatauqua and
Pawnee assess at 100 per cent-or
actual value on everything.

Died.

Howard Martin, son of D. B. Martin
near Albert, died at his brother Ira's
two miles southeast of Heller, Thurs
day night of last week, at the age of 20
years, 6 months and 23 days. He had
only been sick about IL days with
pneumonia. He had helped fill the
creamery ice-house at Heller and was
taken down at his brothers, before he
got out to his father where he had his
home. He had been a member of the
Dunkard church since his 5th year.
Howard leaves a host of friends to
mourn their loss. The services con.
Quoted by Rev. Henry Brubaker. were
very impressive. they were held at 2
O'Clock p. N. Saturday at the Dunkard
church, attended by large number of
friends. The remains were laid TO res

Compromising With Duty.

AS far as public sentiment is
concerned, there appears to be
an impenetrable hedge around
the House of Representatives at
Washington. There were 172
men there yesterday who voted
to. place a tariff equivalent to
fifteen per cent. of the Dingley
rates upon Porto Rican trade,
and there were only 161 who
voted against this error. The
Republican party is to blame for
this needless wrong, and it will
pay dearly for it if the Senate
copies the mistake. The Demo
Gratis have been seeking. high and
low for a campaign issue that
will give them votes. OF their
own accord the Republicans
have presented the democracy
with an issue that, with a
stronger leader than Bryan
might win them the next election.
Even with Bryan, the Democrats
will doubtless carry some doubt
full states because of the Repubi-
can attempt to compromise with
"our plain Duty and ''the high
est considerations of Justice and
good faith"
The free silver issue upon which
the campaign of 1896 was fought
came into prominence within a
year of the election. l. the issue
upon which this years election is
to be fought coming into shape
now? If it is, and if the consti-
tutional and moral right of the
inhabitants of our islands to fair
play and free trade is that issue.
the Democrats have virtually
the entire press of the United
States and perhaps the Supreme
Court on their side of the issue.
The Republicans are playing
with fire.-Providence, r. L

IN THE SEVENTEENTH YEAR.

With this issue of the DEMO
GRAFT begins the 18th year of the
papers existence.
We start the new volume with
the encouragement that comes
from the knowledge that the
DEMOCRAT is read bymore people
in Barton county than any other
paper published; that it has a
better advertising patronage
than any OF it's local competitors;
and that it has won the reputa-
ton of being the only live, up-to-
date paper in Great Bend; first
in everything for public benefit;
first to take to the thousands of
homes the weekly chronicle of ALL
the news, and therefore is as a
newspaper ''first in the hearts of
our cOuntrymen."
We believe the editor may be
pardoned for thus exhibiting his
pride in his own paper.
We have put in many long and
weary hours, day and night, to
make thepaper acceptable to our
readers, and hope that our efforts
have not been in vain.
We believe that the 50 issues
of volume XVII will chronicle a
merited Improvement in the con-
dition of not only the people Of
Great Bend and Barton county,
but of the whole world, and more
especially that part of the world
protected by that bright banner,
the Stars and Stripes, emblem of
freedom of thought, freedom of
speech, freedom of government
and freedom of the press.
We are firm in the belief that
che world is growing better; that
the masses of the people are
growing more enlightened, and
that in this country at least the
people can be trusted at all times
to do the right if the masses pre-
vail and the classes ask but their
just due.
Many ills are threatening today
it is true; many lawless and un-
democratic measures are being
coneocted; many men have been
led by thegrowing greed for gold
to attempt to overthrow the fun
damental principles of govern
ment. But we have an abiding
faith In THE PEOPLE; an I'M
wavering hope that in due time
their vioces may be again heard
IN the halls of congress and the
