morbus terminate fatally before medi-
cine can be procured or physician sum-

a reliable medicine for use in such cases.
For this purpose there is nothing so

FEARLESS AND INDEPENDENT.

Tho Chicago Record Herald is con
spicuous example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless nom
partisanship in the columns of great
metropolitan daily paper. 1t is an inde-
pendent newspaper in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint of the public good
and not from that of the interests OF any
particular political party. 1t is the very
reverse of neutral-fearless and out
spoken on all the great questions of the
day, but presenting its editorial opinion
upon independent judgment and entire
ly regardless of political affiliations.
Partisanship is barred as strictly from
the news columns as from the editorial
page. All political news is given with
out partisan coloring, thus enabling the
reader to form correct conclusions for
himself. In the ordinary partisan
newspaper political news is ordinarily
colored to such an extent as to make it
difficult if not impossible for the reader
to secure a sound basis for intelligent
judgment.

FULL VALUE.
Denver Times.


Delta county is the first to report on
it's valuation under the provisions Of the
new revenue law. The scheme under
this law is to assess property at its full
cash value. The assessor OF Delta county
has apparently made an honest endeavor
to do this and the result is an increase
in the valuation Of the county OF more
than 125 per cent.
The assessed valuation last year was
sl,15s,5sl. This year it is put at s2,67O-
455. II the other counties in the state
do as well the state will have plenty OF
ready money next year. The state levy
OF four mills will not be changed, so the
reople of Delta county will be called
upon to contribute twice as much to the
expenses OF the state government next
year as they have this.
1t is expected that the county, munich
pal and school levies will be reduced to
correspond with theincreased valuation.
II this is done the additional taxation.
in the opinion OF the state officials, will
not be SO heavy. On the other hand, il
the tax levies are all kept up to the
present figure, the people are likely TO
find that they are paying more than
they care to. 1t 10 expected that the
counties will report rapidly from this
time on, and it will not be long before
the state officials will be able to make
an..estimate as to the probable revenue
for the coming year.
