and will continue to be redeemed after
they are out.
The fact remains that the fusion
crs, through extravaganza and mis-
management, have failed to meet the
current expenses Of the county, and
during the three years OF their admin
istration have succeeded in creating
deficit OF more than $50, 900. This bad
showing is the more reprehensible and
inexcusablp because the conditions
prevailing during that period were
most favorable. Owing to prosperous
times the county's assessed valuation
has been increasing at an enormous
rate and the records Of the assessors
Office will bear out the statement that
tax collections have never been better.
In fact, the amount OF delinquent
taxes has been steadily decreasing
since January, 1899, when IL was about
equal to the amount Of outstanding
warrants at that time. And this in
spite OF the fact that the amount Of
taxes paid by individuals, as well as
tine number Of Individual taxpayers,
has increased about Is per cent during
the three years.
The taxpayers Of THIS county have
PAID dearly FOR their lesson in demo-
populist reform.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The second ses-
sion Of the Fifty-seventh congress con-
vened at noon today. Long before the
gavels fell in the two houses large crowds
thronged about the doors of the visitors
gallery seeking admittance A bright,
sunny day brought out many women, who
were conspicuous among the visitors. As
the hour of the opening arrived the
crowds about the doors increased, but
many were necessarily disappointed, as
the space allotted to outsiders was claimed
early. There were many out-of-town Wis
itors. To be seen in the corridors and
lobbies on both sides were many public
officials, who left the departments to wit
ness the opening.
The correspondents were early on the
scene, preparing for the three months Of
work ahead of them.
Former Speaker Thomas B. Reed was
visitor at the capitol today. Prior to
the hour for convening he visited among
the members of the ho.se, where he once
served so many years, then among the
members of the senate. he was greeted
on both sides by friends and former as
sociates.
Brilliant Scene.
nc SccHc III the senate chanlDer today
when that body met to begin the work
OF the second session was a brilliant one
Long before noon, when President pro TEN.
Frye brought his gavel down and opened
the proceedings, the galleries began filling
up. Every seat was soon occupied and
hundreds stood outside in the corridors
camoring for admission The floor of
the senate was veritable garden of chrys-
anthemums, roses and violets spreading
their fragrance throughout the chamber.
Many OF the iioral pieces were magnif-
cent and completely hid the desks from
view.
Without distinction of party senators
moved from one side OF the chamber to
the other and welcomed old acquain-
tances.
The familiar figure of Senator lanes
Mcmillan of Michigan, who was beloved
by his associates, was missing, and uni
versal sorrow was again expressed over
his demise.
Social Event Also.
The house of representatives presented
brilliant scene at the opening of the ses-
sion today. During the recess the cham
Der had been redecorated throughout. The
old color scheme of gold and carmne was
preserved, but the fresh colors served to
tighten the general effect. The famous
paintings of Bierstadt "The Discovery of
the Hudson" and the Landing of the
Verbain Expedition at Monterey, Cal, in
1901 which formerly hung in panels on
either side of the speakers rostrum have
been removed to the lobby in the rear of
the hall, and in their places now hang the
full length portraits of Washington and
Lafayette. AS the gavel was not to fall
until noon the public galleries were packed
soon after they were thrown open at
