The above figures speak for them
selves
Three thousand three hundred and
seventy-six taxpayers appealed from
the assessments, and vast numbers
more would have done so II they had
thought it of any use.
The Register said that the aldermen
"did well' when they failed by a close
vote to reconsider their previous action
1t says: THE aldermen at a previous
meeting discussed the bill intelligently
and voted to oppose it, The fact was,
they did it under the leadership of a
man who admitted that he had not even
read the bill at the time when he secur-
ed this action on the part of the alder
men. The Register regards this as dis
cussing the bill intelligently," and 1
do not wonder, because it's discussion
of the bill is about on the same plane.

1t could hardly be expected that the
weather man who made the high flying
prediction about the weather in Wash
ington on Inauguration day would be
Wise enough to refrain from explana-
ton after the grotesque failure of his
prediction. So it is not surprising to
read that said weather man says the
Washington weather was purely
local. 1t certainly was that, as the
fifty thousand or more people whose
clothes and temper were damaged by it
discovered 1t was altogether too local.
1t was as local as the blunder of the
weather man. If it hadn't been local
it would have been all right When
the weather man gets another chance
he will do wisely not to make his pre-
diction quite SO local, and then If local
weather comes he can squirm out of his
more easily and gracefully
than we now see the squirming done.

EITCHENER,S PIN.

General Kitchener has plan for end
ing the war in South Africa. and the
Pretoria correspondent of the London
Times tells what the plan is. For sew
inactive. but was really very busy reor-
ganizing and relocating his army with
view to meeting 1.-THE new conditions
consequent upon the rise Of DeWet"
with his guerrilla methods. At the ter
mination of regular warfare his $780, 900
effectives were loosely scattered over a
wide area many detachments being
where they were little needed and many
strategic points being unprotected.
Some $4,000 had to be left on garrison
duty, but with the arrival of expected
reinforcements he would have 100000
for offensive operations. OF this num-
Der $4,000 would be mobile. consisting Of
cavalry, mounted Infantry and field ar
tillery The scheme was to arrange
this force into 38 brigades, alloting each
brigade to square on the guerrilla
chessboard. Each brigade is to cover
an assigned area and keep in touch with
the neighboring areas. The food supply
is simplified so that each area will be
sure of its rations. If a Boer force APP
pears on any square of the chessboard
the commanders of brigades on all the
squares are to move In up
on it and cooperate with the British
force permanently assigned to that
square. If the commando fees to anoth-
err square 1t will meet like arrange
ments. And so it is hoped to end the
war by June.
This seems like a pretty good plan,
but perhaps De Wet wont see fit to
play the game as Kitchener intends TO
have him. So far he hasn't fallen in |
with Kitchener's arrangements.

IN -FIE1 L DAYS,

When Russia's Siberian line to the
Pacific coast is completed Phileas Fogg,
if he is still alive, can stop blowing
about going around the world in eighty
days, and go around it in fifty. He can
start from New York and reach Paris
In six days; make the trip thence to
Tcheliabinsk, in western Siberia, in six
more; spend not over fifteen days in
getting to the Pacific coast, at either
Vladivostok or Port Arthur; arrive in
Yokohama two or three days later;
cross the ocean to Vancouver in twelve
or thirteen and make the home run by
rail in five, taking about forty-seven
days in all. This schedule, of course,
is based on the assumption that close
connection will be made at every port,
with steamers ready for immediate sail
routes Should a Vancouver steamer
from Yokohama be unavailable and the
Honolulu San Francisco trip be of ne
cessity substituted it would require the
expenditure of about five more DAYS In
covering the Pacific voyage leaving out
of consideration any possible DELAYS at
the port of departure or at Honolulu.
When the Affair line is esta blished
perhaps fifty days will seem long to go
around the world in. When Phileas
F'ogg made his trip eighty was consid-
cred quick time.

The Bill for Relief from Excessive
Assessments.


To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
An editorial in the Register quotes
some anonymous authority as follows:
Poor men could not very easily afford
to take advantage of this act at all.
In order to make proper offer and
furnish the required certificate they
would almost of necessity be obliged to
employ counsel, and fee of $25 would
probab bly, more than balance any posi-
BILE gain from a reduction of assess
ment."
| The author of this statement either
has not read the bill which he is at
tempting to criticise, or he is wilfully
misrepresenting it, or else he has not
| the intelligence to understand a distinct
statement. Under the bill the owner of
| the property does not incur any expense
whatever In making the offer. He sim
ply signs a blank, which under the
statute is furnished by the board of re-
lief. No certificate Is required, unless
an offer is received for the property,
equal or exceeding the price placed up
on 1t by the owner, together with the
costs OF transfer, so that the buyer pays
the cost Of the certificate and deed
/ do not understand what motive can
possibly induce anyone who has not a
personal interest In sustaining the un-
just assessments made by the board of
assessors to misrepresent the bill. the
object of which Is to relieve thousands
of citizens of New Haven from injus-
tice, and to do /. without cost, and in
the most simple, direct and sure way
The cry of 1.-THE poor man" was prob
ably regarded al the most effective, but
1t is ridiculous when this bill gives the
poor man a remedy without cost and
is sure to cause reduction of the
assessment to the market value of the
property, and no further.
This editorial says: with regard to
the assessments recently made, in our
judgment they are not half as bad as
many that existed before this year"
1.-THE owners of small |
houses, which are generally their own |
homes. have paid possibly double what
they should The passage of the Rowe
bill would not only continue this wick
ed policy, but it would make an ade
quate reform impossible"
IHlS IS exactly opposite 10 IHe teutl, f
as anyone who has read the bill can
see Under the bill the assessment on
any property which Is double what it
ought to be can be reduced TO its Just
value without any expense TO the owner
1t Is a pity to try to create prejudice
against much needed relief by state
ments which are the opposite of fact
There are thousands of taxpayers in
this city who know that under this
their property has been
assessed at from one and one-fourth
times to three times it's value. Among
the thousands of cases a few of the
have been sold within the
past year l will give here few illus
Irations of such cases. The assessed
value Is given in the left hand column,
and the price for which the same prop
srty is actually sold in the right hand

Judge Joseph Tillman of Quintman,
Georgia, thinks that the growing of su-
gar-cane as money-making crop
means the redemption of Florida and
southern Georgia. He is an earnest
worker toward that end, and has writ
ten number of articles favorng the
establishment of refinery, the stock in
1t being taken principally by cane
growers He has secured estimates
from a reliable manufacturer of sugar
machinery that the plant with an out
put of 90, 900 to $4,000 pounds of sugar a
day would cost, with machinery and
buildings, $4,000; one with daily ca
pacity of $4,000 pounds, $83,900, and one
with daily capacity of 100000 pounds,
S14O, 900 He estimates 600 gallons of
syrup to an acre of cane at from TWEEN
7ty-1ive to thirty cents gallon, and
says there is no reason why Georgia
and Florida, through their vast sugar
producing resources, should not be
among the wealthiest agricultural Sec
tions of the world. A one horse farmer,
he says, can cultivate twenty acres in
cane as cheaply as he can cultivate
twenty acres in corn.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
claims that that city has become the
leading mule market in the country.
The growth of this industry, it says,
has assumed enormous proportions,
and Memphis now outstrips New Or
leans or St. Louis. Thousands upon
thousands Of mules and horses have
been sold in Memphis during the past
year by local dealers. The mules go
chiefly to the plantations in the cotton
belt, but several thousand have also
been taken by the British government
1t is estimated that the expense of TAX
ing care of the average stock of mules
and horses on hand in Memphis during
the sales season will exceed $1,000 per
day.
