MAKE Nv IMPARriAL REVISION.

In proceeding with the assessment Of
franchised corporations under the order
Of the supreme court the council Is in
duty bound to treat all corporations i'm
partially and with the sole view to as
pertaining the taxable value of the prop
erty and franchises of each upon the
basis established by the court. In
reaching conclusions the council cannot
be guided by any agreement made since
the decision of the court between the
plaintiffs and the corporations. Other
taxpayers have equal rights-in fact
any taxpayer would have a right to in
tervene to compel the council to carry
out the order Of the court in good faith
and without Partially for or discrimina-
ton against any interest.
While it is true that millions of
personal property have not been
it would be impossible at this stage
to rectify the wrong by readjust-
ment of all assessments heretofore
made. The remedy for the failure
to secure full personal property returns
for city taxation will be applied in next
years assessment, when the corpora
tons will be compelled to join with the
real estate owners in the enforcement
Of equitable tax assessments for mu-
nicipal purposes.
With the decision of the supreme
court before it, the Board of County
Commissioners will be in position to re-
wise the returns made by the assessors
this spring SO as to compel owners of
personal property to contribute their
just share to the maintenance of state
and county government. For his
revision the county board will have am
pie time and an assurance that it will

TBEANTBRICITE SITU1TIoE.

Uncertainty still c~haracterizes the sit
uation In the anthracite coal region, but
it would seem that a determination of
the issue canno be much longer de-
layed. What that will be cannot be pre-
dicted with any degree of confidence.
The efforts of the Civic Federation to
bring about a settlement seem to have
completely failed, SO far as the operators
are concerned, but the miners are still
e~ndeaVoring to secure satisfactory con-
cessions and are manifesting an en-
tirely commendable spirit. 1t appears
evident that many Of them, perhaps
the majority, are anxious to avoid a
strike, but the operators, ON the other
hand. seem to be quite Indifferent.
This attitude may be due to a belief
that a conflict at this time would not
injure the operators, but rather benefit
them by approaching the price OF coal
already mined. If SO it Is a narrow
view, for az the New York Times re-
marks, by permitting an extensive coal
strike at this time the Operators will
lay the axe at the root or national pros
perity, which cannot continue If the pro
ductiye and distributive Industries of
the country are crippled. That paper
tells them that they cannot safely defy
public opinion, and this they will at
tempt If they permit a great strike to
occur which they could have averted
without disadvantage to themselves or
the sacrifice Of principle, II declares
that such a strike at this time would
be a national calamity and might very
well begin the pulling down OF the tow
ering fabric Of our national prosperity.
Should a strike be decided on it would
involve $4,000 miners and affect in
addition 10000 railroad employees and
others.

Live Nebraska T,
Sturdy and Solid.

Stanton may Justly be classed among the
live Nebraska towns" not in the boom
sense, for Stanton has never experienced a
boom nor suffered from a boom's after
effects. 1t is In no sense a wild cat"
town, nor has its growth at any time been
phenomenal. Neither is It q graveyard"
town which boasts only OF oldest inhabi-
%tants," long stories and carved dry goods
boxes. Stanton is the county seat Of
Stanton county and is situated near its
geographical center, in the far-famed Elk
horn valley and on the main line Of tho
Fremont, Elkhorn q Missouri Valley rail-
road. 1O6 miles northwest Of Omaha.
The present population Of the town num-
bers slightly less than 1900 souls, exclusive
Of quadrupeds and chickens. As a town II
is neither hoary with age nor in swaddling
clothes. Early settlers back In the SOS,
pressing westward from West Point, dis
covered the present own site, located 1t as
homesteads and later a store and postoflce
was established. This was before the com
ing Of the railroad, the depot having been
erected in 1879. Since then the growth Of
Stanton has been steady and secure. Stanton
has Ave general stores, two exclusive gro-
%ceries, two drug stores, two shoe stores,
one restaurant and bakery, two 1ewelry

yards, two grain elevators, three blacksmith
shops, two livery barns, q feed store, three
barber shops, two millinery stores, two
weekly newspapers, two banks, Eve lawyers,
several real estate firms and numerous
other business enterprises. Among the In
dustries Is a large hve-story Touring mill,
one Of the finest in the state. The town
is lighted by electricity and has local and
long distance telephone connections, q
splendid water system and a hose company.
The townsite Is one OF the most attrac-
tive along the line. To the south flows the

Of a hill towers a magnificent public school
building, while farther down the slope, with
spires pointing heavenward, are Methodist,
Congregational and Baptist churches. A
few blocks down the valley are the Ger
man Evangelical and Lutheran edifces,
while a few blocks west OF the business
center the Catholics have a structure SUM-
Client to their needs. Stanton citizens as
a rule own their homes. and many OF them
are elegant structures. The business men
nearly all own their buildings and are pros
porous and strong financially. No town
can boast of fewer business failures. STAN
ton has two opera houses. a brass band. a
militia company Of sixty-four members and
numerous fraternal organizations. In addi-
tion to all these the town can boast OF
more handsome homes and trees, flowers
and we'll kept lawns than most towns OF
its size. Crops here never fail entirely and
seldom partially. The citizenship is made
up OF Yankees, German and a few Bohe-
mians, with an occasional Irishman as sea-
soning. All good citizens and with an
abundance Of enterprise, tempered with
Judgment. What do we needH A brick
yard for one thing. We have the right kind
of raw material and an all-absorbing home
demand for the finished product. A large
hotel for another. The one we have L.
we'll managed, but too small. We need
more dwellings to rent and more men for
ordinary labor. We need g tearing down
and moving out Of a lumber Of old frame
landmarks or the business streets and new
brick structures erected in their stead.
This is being done each year, and, unaided
by fire (6tanton has never had a disastrous
fre), within a few more years a resident
OF the '90s upon returning will scarcely
recognize the place. There are. openings
here in almost every calling for the right
Kind Of people. Enterprise prospers here,
for the drone there is no room.

During the fiscal year 1901 foreign couu-

was $3.50. 900, 900 in excess of our a~gricul-
tural imports. For the eight months end
ing February, 1902, we sold abroad farm
products to the value Of $633, 678, 900, giving
a total for the twenty months ending with
February OF $1.5S5. 67S, 900.

$50, 05S, $40; dairy products, S9,402,722, The
figures for breadstuffs represented the high
est value recorded since 1898.
Measured in value. the exports OF meat
products during 1901 were the largest on
record, although there was a falling of in
the quantity Of hog products. There was
q loss of Sc, O3O. 1888 pounds in bacon. an
increase of 2O,157. 92s pounds in hams, and
an Increase of 5.443,s 2s pounds in picked

cially marked characteristic of the COM
merce Of the United States, in com
parison with other countries, is its large
excess of exports over imports. Whether
or not this condition is to continue is a
question, but the probability is that in
the not remote future the excess in the
value Of our exports over imports will
be reduced, though there is no present
indication of any considerable change
in this direction and it is perhaps safe
to count upon a trade balance in favor

CURRENCY FOR THE PHILIPPINE,

CURRENCY FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
One Of the most troublesome questions
in connection with the proposed Philip
pine legislation is that of providing a
currency for the islands. The bill under
consideration in the enate makes pro-
vision for the coinage of a silver dollar
for circulation in the archipelago and
in reference to this Senator Lodge,
chairman of the committee on Philip
pine relations, said: "It is always a
dangerous thing to change the money
standard Of a people and 1t seemed to
the committee that at this time it would
be exceedingly perilous. They are now
and have long been upon the single sill
yer standard, with the free coinage of
Mexican dollars as the unit of value
and the current coin of the island. We
make no change in the standard. We
simply substitute for the Mexican dollar
an American Filipino dollar, to be
coined at the mint of Manila and the
minis of the United States, following in
that respect the example Of Great
DIlJdlh III 11OhS DOhSf P-ISopOAS INV
the Straits Settlements, for which she
has coined what is known as the Bonn
bay dollar, which has been of very great
advantage to her and to her trade in the
commerce of the east"
1t is by no means certain. however,
that the proposed Filipino dollar would
prove of any advantage to this country
and in view Of the experience with the
trade dollar of 1873 1t may not only
fairly be doubted whether the proposed
dollar would be a benefit to our com
MERGE In the east, but reasonably as
sumed that 1t might prove a disad-
vantage. There is sound objection to
the government adopting q currency pol
Icy for the Philippines which looks to
perpetuating the silver standard there.
The project of free coinage proposed by
the senate bill would be a serious set
back to the possibility of establishing
the gold standard In the islands at any
future time. 1t dlsunites our money,
setting up two standards and two diff
ferent dollars, instead of maintaining
one standard and a single dollar
throughout all the regions over which
the American dag floats.
Another objection is that this money
would be very likely in time to get into
circulation here, there being nothing in
the bill to forbid or prevent the circula-
ton Of these cheap dollars In any part
of the United States. They are essen
TALLY trade dollars and experience
teaches that such dollars viii enter into
our circulation whenever 1t is profitable
to introduce them. The fact that the
mint at San Francisco Is thrown open
for the issue of these coins to every
owner of silver bullion who chooses TO
present it for coinage would AFFORD OPP
~portunity for the distribution Of the pro-
posed coins among ignorant people in
this country. True this danger may not
be very great yet it is n to be con-
sldered.
The Philippine currency question has
undoubtedly received very careful con-
sideration from the senate committee,
but some notifications Of this provision
of it's bill appear to be necessary, par
ticularly in regard to protecting our
home circulation against the possible In
trusion Of the Filipino dollar.

UNITED STATES STILL LEADS.

The United States maintains its posi-
ton at the head Of the worlds export
ing nations. despite the temporary re-
duction in the value OF exports due to
the shortage In corn available for ex-
port. The statistics for the nine months
ending with March show a drop of
nearly $59.00O,OO0 in the value of ex-
ports, but when 1t Is considered that the
value Of corn exported fell $52.OO0.OOO
below that for the corresponding period
Of last year. owing to the shortage in
the supply, and that cotton, owing to a
decline in price. fell $12.OO0.OoO the ex-

the entire decrease is more than ac-
counted for. o.
Notwithstanding this reduction in ex-
ports. the grand total from the United
