The next primary election here may
have very curious results. It seems certain
that the number of qualified voters at
that date will be not more than one-half
of what it usually is Now can It be
said with confidence that the persons who
arc dropped from the voting list will
be those loast qualified to vote. On the
contrary some men who are not generally
regarded as very Intelligent or trust
worthy voters have been particular to
pay their poll taxes while some Of the
most worthy business and professional
men have wholly neglected that duty. 1t
follows, too. as q consequence OF the
diminished electorate here that it will
take smaller number Of voters than be-
fore to make a nomination.

W.J.Bryan was interviewed a.
gain this week as to the C1eve-
land movement. He said:
1t is a comedy as it now
stands, but a tragedy it should
succeed"
Mr.. Bryan declared that all he
desired to see was the nominal
ton by the Democratic party
of some one who would stand by
Democratic principles.
BY Democratic" said he, II
mean the principles enunciated
at the Kansas City convention of
the Democatic party, the last op-
portunity the party had to de-
clare the principles on which it
stands"
Askd if he believed there was
any danger of the old line of Gle
Democrats capturing the next
Democratic convention, Mr.. Bry-
an said:
Il do not think such a thing
is a probability. If there was
such a probability, danger would
be the right word to use in con-
nection with the results it would
work to the Democratic party"
The relentless spite of the lit
tie loud talker of the Platte is
his undoing. Once the idol of a
large following he has killed his
influence by spitefu1 attacks on a
man confessedly his superior.
But what of the principles of
the Kansas City platform? Is
Mr.. Bryan so insane as to be-
lieve that the old platform would
be supported by even a respect
able minority of the next national
convention?
The fellow seems to be diving
hard.

The Parable of the Successful
Merchant.

And it came to pass that in
those days certain merchant,
doing business in the city, after
he had advertised his goods in
the newspapers there came I'm
to him great multitudes of peo-
from all the region round about,
amp they did buy from him album
dainty, keeping him and his
clerks busy far in the night, even
until the eleventh hour.
And that merchant grew ex-
ceediniglY rich, having accumul-
ated unto himself much gold and
silver
And his competitors, seeing
these things, marvelled greatly
at his success; and they spake to
one another, saying: How be
it that this man, who keepeth no
better goods than we do, is kept
busy all day long selling merchan-
disc and goods to divers persons,
while we do nothing but loaf a.
bout our doors!"
And the merchant hearing
them murmuring among them
selves, rebuked them saying: 20
We of little faith! Why murmur
We among yourselves, and why
stand We here idle all the day
long? Know We not that candle
set under bushel giyeth no
light? Let your light so shine
etc.
For verily,veri1y I say unto
you that in this day of push and
hustle man seeketh the place to
spend his shecke1s where he re-
celveth the best bargains; it is
easier fora camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for a
business man to prosper without
advertising"
And the merchants were as
tonished at his saying, for he
spake as one having great know
ledge; and they turned away
sorrowful, they were c1osed-fsted
and stingy, likewise exceeding
short-sighted since they were not
like Er4an that would seek to
reap with sowing that he might
save the cost of the seed.-Ex-

| know quite a number of
persons who hesitate putting up
improvements" in apprehen-
sion that such mistakes" will
continue, thereby injurious1y
affecting every building industry
in the city and retarding it's pre-
gress. For such mistakes" DR..
Tibbott has not one word of re-
proach, he fails to see anything
wrong in them, and 'forgets" to
critic these and any other they
may accidentally tumble into, for
he says: Judge not that We be
not judged" Gee whiz!" what
a snap they would have if all the
taxpayers thought so. And
goody, goody DR.. T. pats them
on the back, Saying; Well done
the faithful servant and guardian
of the city's interest, thy mis-
takes" will all be condoned before
the next election by the forgetfu1
taxpayers.
He still persists in inflicting
his misleading figures upon your
readers. He claims, and the
records indeed so show, that the
total sum of all tax is $25.65O and
theappropriations$25. $50. That
the former figure is another mis-
take" of the council, or of some
one is too palpable to need refuta-
ton, since nearly that much was
raised last year, and this year
the advalorem tax is at least one
third higher, putting at the low
est calculation $4,000 90 more into
the treasury. Adding to this the
100000 for the two new saloons,
leaves surplus of$5OOO.OO. Now
there are facts which no one can
refute, they are so self evident
that the claim of the total tax be-
ing only $25.65O is a mistake"
of too grave character to pass
unnoticed. And believe that the
taxes on the improvements put
up last year will add another
thousand to the $5O00,OO, leaving
a surplus of at least 100000 in
the treasury or that much more
than can lawfully be collected.
It has been stated that the tax
es are not all collected every
year, but this is but another sub
terfuge; another one of the mis-
takes" our council men are so
prone to make since they know
full well that the lots on which
the taxes are not paid, are sold
with costs, thereby only putting
more money into the treasury
then where the taxes are paid
when due. Some are redeemed
with costs every year.
Now if DR.. Tibbots or any
other party can get around"
the facts and figures herein pre-
sented would be pleased to have
him do so, but don't evade the
issue with rapid illustrations and
explanations that don't explain
and the writer himself can see no
sense in.
In conclusion would say that it
is poor policy and poorer econo-
my to place the responsibilities
vested in city treasurer, asses
or and clerk all into the hands of
one person. It affords too many
opportunities for making mis-
takes" I don't believe, however,
that it was mistake in those of
our city officials who first pro-
posed this economy"

Eyll,ES The QUESTION.
EDITOR ENTERPRrsE:

to call your intelligent readers
attention to what they are, no
doubt, aware of, namely, that DR..
Tibbott, in his last reply to me,
has totally ignored the principal
points involved in the tax ques-
ton, and his remarks which he
tries to season with ridicule,
must therefore, have fallen fiat"
upon those who are capable of
forming correct judgment up
on the tax situation.
In the first place he fails to tell
us (what be has been 'harping
on" in former communications, J
how the raising of the assess
ments of railroad property can
relieve the tax burden so long as
the tax rate remains at one per
cent. His failure to do so, shows
that he doesn't understand the
situation at all. The thousands
of dollars added to assessab1eva1-
ues during the last year have
proven that such an increase does
not reduce our taxes one dollar;
on the contrary, they seem to
furnish an excuse for raising
them. So that the proba bi1ities
are our taxes would be still high
err if the railroad assessments
were increased. Somehow his
arithmetic fails to show him that
taxes should be lowered in the
inverse. But l do not think his
arithmetic is at fault, but rather
his frantic efforts to whitewash
the city council or un-equa1ization
board in their endeavors to raise
many more thousands of dollars
than the appropriations call for.
In the second place he has fail
ed to explain why our taxes
should have been raised in the
face of the fact that only $4,000
more had to be raised this year
than last, which difference, it so
happened, was paid by the two
additional saloons. Now upon
this point hinges the whole tax
question and should make it evil
dent to anyone who wants to un-
derstand the situation that our
taxes did not need to be raised
one dollar all told Jon the contrary;
SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER in view
of the great increase in ''improv-
ments" and personal property.
From these se1f-evident facts
it is apparent that the tax rate
should have been reduced in por-
portion to the increase in assess
ed valuations, and neither DR..
Tibbott's "doctored" arithmetic
manufactured or re-modeled for
the occasion, nor elaborate argu-
ments can conceal these facts
from the discriminating reader.
1t is evident that many more
thousand dollars are raised this
year than last when only two
thousand dollars more are re-
CURED which are furnished by
the two new saloons, and anyone
who tries to dodge the issue and
ignore these self-evident facts
by stale subtrefuges is not COM
petent to discuss the matter,
The tax rate should this year be
reduced to not over two-thirds
per cent and rebate declared to
this effect. There would then
be more money left in the treas
ury than is needed to cover the
appropriations.
In conclusion he says CATER
applying triple concentrated ex-
tracts of whitewash upon his eli
ents from top to bottom until
they look as innocent as babes
and immaculate as saints 81
don't forget criticizing some of
their mistakes and shall do it
again if see any thing wrong"
