Since the meeting and the publication
of the statement made by DR.. McCor-
mick the following statement, showing
the matter more in detail and making
some corrections in the figures first given
out by him, as well as including num-
ber of explanations, has been given out
by Mr.. Edwards:
While | do not wish to get into any
controversy over the assessment roll,
the way the assessment was made, or
with DR.. Mccormick, still wish to say
this, that l have made true and cor
rect report of the taxes collected as will
show by the books, which are in my Of
fee, where they are open for inspection
at any time by any person in the city,
and if they will take pains to come to
the Office, l will assist them in every
way possible.
THE only trouble in this matter is
that the doctor figures upon one basis,
and City Assessor Laverock made his
assessment upon another. DR.. McCor-
mick's figures would be exactly right pro-
viding the assessment had been made
upon $3, 765, S95, as fixed by the board of
review, but instead of fixing it upon
this amount, the city assessor figured 1t,
so he says, upon, the amount equalized
by the board of supervisors, which was
$2, SOC, 900, and as Mr.. Laverock made
the roll it is his duty to explain why he
did these things, so that the taxpayers
may know, as they have right to, what
they are paying their money for, and
where it goes.
"As understand il, the city treasur-
er has to collect or account for every
cent on the tax roll, which / stand ready
to do at any minute, but / do not con-
slider that / am to blame if there is a
mistake in the assessment.
MY statement Of the school tax and
the figures made by DIR. Mccormick are
given below. 1t will be noticed, in the
first place, that he makes mistake of
S21425 in the first item. Also in the
amount returned by me TO the county
treasurer, he is short to the extent of
S1l230. He can verify my figures by
applying TO the county treasurer. The
statements are as follows

The Disposition of the School Funds.

The question of the disposal of the
amount raised for school purposes by
taxation during the past year occasioned
much comment at the school meeting.
From the following statements the tax
payers will be able to Judge for them
selves whether the matter brought up
by DR.. Mccormick has been fully ex-
planned or not.
The position taken by DR.. McCor-
mick at the meeting and put in writing
by him later is as follows, reference be-
ing made to some remarks made at the
meeting by City Assessor Laverock to
the effect that more than the school tax
was included on the tax receipts in the
column headed school tax"
Before the meeting closed City AS
SCISSOR Laverock said that the school tax
named in the tax receipt was not fair
basis to figure from as he had put into
that column ditch tax, rejected tax and
other things and it all appeared on the
tax receipt as school tax.
1T is sing u ar thing that this jumb
led mass should come out exactly $24,
600. :
Il argue that the S24, 600 voted at the
last annual meeting was spread upon
the taxable property of the city instead
of the school district and prove it as
follows, viz:
Divide your school tax by your as
sessed valuation and you will get your
rate. .00737 Take out the one mill tax

OVER THE TRANSOME.

A story that is now going the rounds is
laid to the door of n piquante and dainty
little French lady who was more or less IN
evidence at such places as were visited by
the Rochambeau embassy. The humor OF
the situation lies in the extreme d1hdence
of the Frenchwoman. says the Onlooker.
She is sensitive to the point of n double
nervousness and realizing the liability to
err in a foreign tongue. she was generally
careful to make selection Of each individual
word. Wherefore she was but the more
amusing when one cvenipe, feeling moved
TO demonstrate with n gentleman upon the
Chillincss of our northern May, she said

In a word these manufacturers say they
are manufacturing In excess of the con-
sumption of the home market. They want
the United States government to establish
trade relations with other countries that
will throw open the markets of the world
for the disposal OF their goods. The United
States senate will be asked to ratify at
least nine treaties that provide for recip-
rocal arrangements in the trade relations
of the United States and various countries
Of the eastern hemisphere.
". d. Hulct Of Topeka, Kan, was chosen
secretary Of the new league and b. B..

MITCHELL, s. D., April 10.-(Special
Telegram.)-The two subcommittee, APP
pointed by the democratic and populist
state central committees, to formulate an
address to the voters OF the state, finished
their work in hat direction this morning.
The address was drafted by the democrats
and 1t was endorsed by the populist COM
mittee, the latter agreeing to call their
state convention at Huron at the same time
the democrats meet there for nomination
of state officers.
The main feature of the address will refer
to the action of the last legislature in pass
ing a law preventing the placing of the
name Of a candidate twice on one ticket,
thus knocking out fusion. The address will
make the most of this feature. though other
matters of not 80 much Importance will be
reviewed. D.
The committee is exceedingly quiet about
its views as to the result of the combined

GRosvENOR FOR CUBAN BILL
Declares Preaent Tariff on Sugar IL
Unreasonable and Demands Change
In Schedule. o.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The debate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill in the house to-
day was devoid Of enlivening features. The
most notable speech Of the day was made
by Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio. lie answered
the critics who have charged him with In
consistency by, saying that reciprocity was
sound republican doctrine and that tariff
schedules we're not sacred. He predicted
that the time would come when there would
be an memorable demand for revision Of the
present rates.
Mr.. Hit OF Illinois, chairman of the for
eign affairs committee, reported back the
Cochran resolution of inquiry calling on
the secretary Of state for Information re-
%garding the alleged removal by Canadian
officers Of landmarks along the Alaskan
border. The resolution was adopted with
out division. He reported back the Sulzer
resolution, calling upon the secretary OF
state for the report of the governor of
Louisiana and all other correspondence re-
lating to the establishment OF a British
base Of supplies near Louisiana and the
shipment of horses and mules for the use
of the British army in South Africa. The
resolution was adopted.
The house then resumed the consideration
Of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr.. Grosve-
nor of Ohio, the first speaker today, made
an earnest speech in favor OF the bill. The
president and his cabinet, he said, favored
legislation on the line OF the pending
measure.
He said with great emphasis that he had
never yet permitted himself to worship the
tariff system as a fetich> not to be touched
or examined. He warned the young repub-
llcans about him that II they believed the
present tariff schedules were to be forever
defended they had as we'll retire to private
life. The republican party, he announced.
must not chain itself to the tariff schedules.
With some feeling Mr.. Grosvenor then
answered the charges of inconsistency
brought against himself. He called atten-
ton to the remarks on reciprocity made by
President Roosevelt at Charleston yester-
day, which he described as 1.-THE best speech
the president ever made" and humorously
remarked that he wondered at the temeritv
Of the president in making such statements
while republicans in the house we're de-
nouncing such statements as party disloy-
atty.
The present tariff on raw sugar, he de-
clared, was high beyond all reason. II the
20 per cent reduction we're made the tariff
IN sugar would then be 3 per cent higher
lhan the trainers Of the Dingley bill in
lerd d. If the beet sugar people had an
Industry that could not stand against the
world with $1,40 a hundred protection. then
it had better be abandoned.
In conclusion Mr.. Grosvenor denied that
the pending bill constituted an assault upon
the protective theory. e..
Mr.. Weeks Of Michigan followed with a
speech in opposition. to the bill. He argued
that there was no obligation upon us TO
aid Cuba. 1t was ridiculous. he contended.
to say that because we freed Cuba at the
cost of hundreds OF lives and millions Of
dollars, that therefore we were under a
load of debt 10 the island.
