I'VE can estimate. however, just as
anybody else can estimate. but un-
doubtedly with a greater degree of ac-
curacy, that the water used this year
on the lawns is really less than half as
much as last year. We know that be-
cause we are using only two pumps
and with those are having no difficulty
in keeping up sufficient pressure. When
we had five pumps going constantly
last year the pressure was low for the
reason that the pipes were always
open and as fast as we could pump
water into them ii went out at the
other ends"
The decrease i'm the output of the de-
partment will make a corresponding
decrease in it's earnings and also a de-
crease in the profits. The expenses at
the pumping stations have been slight
ly reduced, owing to the decrease in
the number of engines operated, but
the boilers have to be kept pounding
out steam all the time. night and day,
and just as many men are kept on
duty as when all of the engines are in
use. The Office force and Office expenses
are also about the same as usual
The water authorities are unable to
estimate closely what financial differ
ence the great rainfall will produce in
the department. They think it will be
considerable but not large enough to
be serious.
Probably not half as many persons
are using any water at all on their
lawns this season as last. for they rely
entirely on the natural precipitation.
and those who do use water for their
lawns take only a little of ii.

The water departments of Lincoln
and the heavens have been carrying
on bold, relentless warfare for the
past four months and in every skir-

mand of General James Tyler, repre-

badly worsted. 1t has been an unequal
struggle clear from the start. The at
tacks upon the city's brigade have
been made mostly without warning
and have come with such frequency
and terrific vigor that the lines of Gen

His Speech at Pittsburg stirs Up thu

T'iS SPSSCH at TlttSpuF9 StirS Up thS
London Globe.
London, April 29.-The speech of the
United States Secretary of the Treas,
ury, Mr.. Shaw, at Pittsburg, at the
banquet. April 26th., in celebration OF
the late General Grants birthday, has
thus far passed unnoticed by the Lon.
don press with the exception OF the
Globe, which is exceedingly wrathy at
such responsible politician tickling
the ears of groundlings with speech
full OF menace to Americas only friend
among the powers of Europe
After quoting the speech, the Globe
continues: I'VE are not greatly con.
cerned either for the threat or the
crude vulgarity which causes Mr. Shaw
to apply it to a particular power; but,
what impresses US with a sense OF
American decadence, is. the manner in
which the absurd speech was received,
Were an English minister of Mr.. Shaw's
position to make similar allusion to
foreign power all the chancellories
of Europe would be convulsed. But
England heeds it not a whit, and the.
rest of the world shrugs it's shoulders
and talks about diplomacy in shirt
sleeves"

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS TO ACT
Announced That Preliminary Investigation
by District Attorneys Develops Evidence

Washington. April 25.-Attorney
General Knox yesterday made the fol-
lowing statement regarding the SO
called beef trust:
ION April this department direct.
ed w. A. Day, Esq, Of Washington,
In his capacity as special assistant to
the attorney general to examine into.
as far as practicable, the public charges
to the effect that combination Of the
large meat dealers of the United
States had been effected contrary to
the provisions of the law OF the Unit
ed States. This preliminary examina.
ton resulted in instructions to Mr.,
Day and Mr.. Bethea, United States at.
torney at Chicago, April z, to prose.
cute simultaneously in Chicago and
the east more particular examina.
ton into the allegations and proofs
alleged to exist in support thereof,
From their reports ] am satisfied that
sufficient evidence is in hand upon
which bills in equity for an injunction
can be framed to restrain the com.
bination from further proceeding I'm.
der their agreements, which clearly
appear to be in restraint of Interstate
trade. have, therefore, acted in
compliance with the law which pro
vides:
ut shall be the duty Of the several
district attorneys of the United States

direction of the attorney general to in.

vent and restrain violations Of this

QUESTION OF BANK TAXES.
Merriam and Bremner Take the Same
Position.

Des Moines, April 26.-State Auditor
Merriam holds the same position as
City Solicitor Bremner on the ques-
ton as to whether bank stocks should
be assessed at their cash value, and
whether government bonds owned by
the banks should be >.eoucted from the
cash value of the stocks. In a re-
cent opinion the city solicitor held
there should be no such deduction
and that it was the auty of the as
SCISSOR to assess the stocks of national,
state and savings banks at their cash
value. 1t is learned that before de-
livering his opinion the city solicitor
ascertained what the holding Of the
auditor of state was in these matters
and that his opinion was in harmony
Herewith.
The fact is the agitation of this
question is by no means confined to
Des Moines. 1t is statewide, and
many inquiries are coming in to the
revenue department of the auditors
office on this very point. The quer-
les come mainly from assessors, and
in advising them .nat the stocks of
banks should be assessed at their
cash value the auditor of state is
backed up by the advice of the attor-
ney generals Office. The ground taken
Is that under section 1922 of the code
there is no question that banks are
not entitled to have their investments
In government bonds deducted from
their stocks, the wording of the stat
ute being clear and specific. Under
decision of the supreme court in
1892, the contenrlon of the banks
would be sustained, but that decision
was made before the code Of 1897
took effect. In that code section 1922
appears as it now stands and it makes
the previous opinion of the supreme
court Of no effect.
The state auditor and attorney gen.
eral are willing to abide by this rul-
ing until the courts shall decide
otherwise. They are fully convinced
Of the correctness Of their position.
and City Solicitor Bremner is well for
4 titled in his opinion.

TAXES ARE NOT AN OFFSET.
Cannot BE Used to Reduce Moneys
and Credits.

S0ttttVt DC OSSo 10 neOuC0 moneys
and Credits.
Des Moines, April 2S.-In the dis.
trict court Judge McVey decided the
appeal of Henry Hutsonpiller from the
board of review against Hutsonpiller.
Appellant is wealthy farmer re-
siding in the east part Of the city and
when his assessment of moneys and
credits was made a year ago, claimed
an onset of the amount of taxes he
owed the county January /, as against
them, claiming that under the law he
is permitted to Offset all debts and that
his taxes due then amounted to ST.
$50.
Judge Mcvey in rendering his de-.
cision said:
Whatever may be the status of the
question as to whether or not taxes
are such a debt as to be enforcible in
an action at law, it is certainly true
that our court has not determined the
question which is at issue in this case.
which question Is, Can the amount Of
taxes assessed against the property
holder and unpaid be deducted from
the amount of his moneys and credits,
under the statutes Of this state per.
hitting deduction for ordinary debt?'
This question must be determined
In view of certain general principles
necessarily involved in the construc-
ton of the statute in question: That
the statute was intended to permit a
citizen to deduct from his moneys and
credits his ordinary debts is without
question that tax due and unpaid is
debt Is also conceded, but when we
take into consideration the fact that
taxes are levied for the sovereign
power and authority for the purpose
of carrying on the functions of that
power and authority it was within the
contemplation of the legislature to ex.
empt from taxation, or deduct such
tax for moneys and credits. it is an
entirely different question.
II am of the opinion that the legis-
lature by the enactment of the statute
in question intended that is should be
applied to the ordinary debts of the
taxpayers, but did not contemplate
that the whole volume of taxes levied
and assessed for one year amounting
to many millions Of dollars should be
Offset as debt when the property Of
the citizen the following year be listed
for taxation"
