LYNCH HAS NERVE.
Fought English and Wants Ills Seat
 In Parliament.

New York. November 22.-Commenting upon the election of Arthur Lynch over MT. Plunkett in the Parliamentary cleo ton ct Galway, Ireland. the London correspondent of the Times says:
 Arthur Lynch. who has been elected to Parliament from Galway. led the so- called Irish contingent against the Brit ish flag in South Africa. It seems im- possible that he should attempt to come to England to take his seat. He is a handsome young Irishman. impulsive, emotional and sentimental. The dispo- sltion of the London press to make light of his South African adventure is sug- gestive.''

NORTHERN PACIFIC
 MAY HAVE CHANGES
Fear Antagonistic Action by
 Governors of Northwest
VANSANT WRITES A LETTER
Asks the Opinions of the Governors as 60 Whether the Consolidation Opposes Laws of Their
 State,

New York, November 22-According to on good authority, certain changes in the Northern Pacific directorate are to be made in view of the agitation in Minne- sota against the joint operation of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern.
 Influential officials in the Northern Se- curities Company said today that while they believed the company's plans for controlling the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railroads could not be upset through legal proceedings, based on allegations that they conhicted with anti-consolidation laws of the different states, some changes might be forced. It was held by these interests that there was a question as to whether President Hill of the Great Northern Railroad un- der a strict interpretation of present laws had an unquestioned right to be a mem Der of the board of directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The same doubt existed as to the right of either Hartman, chairman of the Union Pa cific, to be a member of ,ne Northern Pa cihc board. It was also asserted that it was not impossible that both these of ficers might retire from the Northern board.
 Ask Opinion of Governors.
 St. Paul, Minn., November Ex-Governor Vansant today sent out to the Governors of North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington letters stating the facts, so far as he has ascertained them, with re- gard to the alleged attempt to consoli- date the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads and asking for their opinion as to what action should be un- dertaken. Should the other Governors be favorable to united action it Is probable that conference will be called for an early date.
 Governor Savage Is Satified.
 Omaha, Neb November 22.-A special to an evening paper from Lincoln says:
 Governor Savage, who recently con suited with Attorney General Prout in regard to Investigating the consolidation of the various northwest railroads with a view to obstructing the deal if a viola ton of the state law was apparent, makes a statement today declining to meet Gov ernor Vansant of Minnesota to discuss the suppression of the munger. He says there is no consolidation apparent in Ne braska, and Minnesota affairs are not subject to Nebraska interference.

How Prices Are Determined.

Tnere were frequently If not generally determined by circumstances quite dis tinct from the real value of the stock in question. He cited as an illustration the Northern Pacific in New ork of few months ago. There nobody would contend that the real value of the stock exceeded par; yet the quoted price reached 5000; nor had any court decided that the equalization board must be gov erned by the quotable market price of capital stock
 Tt was the decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois in the franchise tax case recently decided" he said, that these prices merely must be taken into consideration It stin remained for tSxe equalization board to exercise its judg ment in determining the real value of capital stock for the purpose of taxation.
 The Case at Bar.
 ''The bill in this case" he said in con clusion, assumes that the board will not now exercise it's independent judicial function but will confine itself to the mere arithmetic of adding together the indebtedness and the stock exchange quotations of the capital stock. We are not at liberty to concur in this assump- tion. We believe and are bound to be- lieve that the board will exercise its function as contemplated by the law. This would exclude the supposed danger of gross discrepancy and the supposed danger of over valuation.
 If it transpires that the board of equal ization attempts to certify an assessed valuation that in its effect would be fraud upon any tax payer the courts still remain open to the required tax payeI. The board should be just as the state wishes 1t to be irrespective of the past, and without partiality, and this we will assume until the contrary appears. The motion for preliminary injuction will be overruled and the temporary retraining order dissolved"

Springfield, H.. November &.-The ap- plication of the Chicago Union Traction Company and the Consolidated Traction Company for an injunction for restrain ing the State Board of Equalization for assessing the capital stock of those com panies for 1900 was denied this afternoon by Judges Grosscup and Humphrey in the United States Circuit Court The tenn porary injunction issued by sddge Cross cup in Chicago on Tuesday was dissolved.
 Ane method to be followed in determin- ing the value of capital stock for pur- poses of taxation was discussed by Judge Grosscup at length. As to bonds, he said the judgment of the money lender might be reasonably safe but with capital stock it was different. It would be grossly un- fair to base the assessment upon the stock value quoted on the stock ex- change

II seems that after all, the President
had his ear to the ground to discover
public sentiment before he made the
announcement that under no circum-
stances would he accept a nomination for
third term-at least, he knew what il
was before he acted. Before he made
any announcement and while Depew and
Grosvenor and others supposed to know
the presidential mind were giving out in
terviews in favor Of a third term no dis
patches, except from a few ofieeholders
approving these interviews. reached the
White House. And i'm the meantime the
newspapers in all parts of the country
were taking a position against a third
term As soon, however, as the President
made his announcement the White House
was deluged with dispatches commendiug
the President for the course he had taken
There is no doubt that the President
realized fully that there is a deep-seated
sentiment against a third term for any
President The Hannas, Depews. Grosve-
nors and other politicians may say there
isn't any unwritten law against a thifd
term, and that the anti-third term senti-
ment has such slight hold on the people
that 1t isn't worth considering, but they
are mistaken.
1t is said that never before has a PresI-
dent had so many congratulatory dis
patches and letters on any subject as
Mr. Mckinley is receiving in connection
with his determination not to be a. presi-
Dental candidate again. Aud the authors
OF them are from all classes Of people,
showing that the talk of Imperialism dur
ing the last year or two has moi been
without its effect.
Senator Quay is one of those who insists
that there are no good reasons against
third term. His position is that Il is
better to nominate good man a third
time than to experiment with a new and
untried man. That argument would jus
tify the reelection of a man as long as
he lived, In fact, 20 keep him in the
White House for life The United States
have been experimenting with new and
untried men since the foundation of the
republic. and will continue to do so Such
experimenting is to be preferred to a die
tatorship and an empire. Let the I'M
written law against a third term be swept
aside and 1t would not be long before
an attempt would be made to elect
President for life. The President knew
that ne was acting IN accordance with
the popular will when he put himself in a
position against a third nomination.

"RAKE OFF. FOR POLITICIANS.

In our dispatches yesterday il was
stated that Mr.. John Wanamaker of Phil
adelph3a offered the Mayor of that city
on Thursday $2.5OOO0O for certain city
franchises which the City Councils had
voted to lot OF promoters, for the ben
eft probably, Of favored politicians. At
the time Mr.. Wansmaker sent the letter
containing mis- offer there was nothing
lacking to make the ordinances granting
the franchises law but the Mayors sig
nature. Mr.. Wanamaker hoped the Mayor
would veto the ordinances, so that If the
city wanted to get 81. 800, 900 for the fran
chises in question it could do So Was
the Mayors signature withheld? Accord
ing to our dispatches it was not. Mr.
Wanamaker's letter was treated with
contempt. Thus the city lost a large
amount of money and did not gain any
thlng-not even reduced car fares. one of
the franchises being the right to use GER
tain streets for electric car lines
We hear a great deal of the rotten
ness of Tammany rule in New York city,
but it is safe to assert there has never
been anything quite so bold in the way of
grabbing public property in New York
city as this grab in Philadelphia where
Republican rule prevails
Bills granting the franchises were rush
ed through the Legislature at Harrisburg,
and then through the councils in Phila-
aelphia. The people and the newspapers
knew what was going on all the time, and
they made an cutlery against what was
claimed to be a great steal, but those
having the bills in charge never hesitated
a single moment in carrying out their
schemes. They had majority of the Leg
stature supporting them and also ma
jority of the City Councils. 1t looks there
fore as If there is to be a division of
spoils. According to Mr.. Wanamaker $
letter there is the nice little sum of ST.
100000 to divide among political leaders
and their henchmen.
Assuming that our dispatches conveyed
the right impression the question as to
what is to be the outcome finally of mu-
nicipal government in this country pre-
sents itself 1t seems to be impossible
TO have honest government in our cities.
Every opportunity which presents itself
for grabbing something is improved to
the utmost Not only is the property of
the people taken for the use of those who
have influence with municipal authori-
ties. but municipal expenses are all the
time increased for the purpose of taking
care of favorftes of political leaders in
power. WIN not the people become tired
after a while of being taxed to take care
of idlers who depend wholly upon politics
for living? But what can they do? IN
less they use extreme measures they will
have to stand being robbed. 1t seems to
he impossible for them to get together and
exert their full strength against the de-
spoilers.
