the speculator to put his lands on the
market, and then he sold 1t at an aver
age of $4,000 The result has been
that this valuable land, held idle for
mere speculation has been built up and
improved, thereby not only improving
the neighborhood, but causing that
much OF an increased demand for Ia
Dor. The fate Of this Spectator is the
fate of all others throughout the state
of New York, and the result has been
lighter burden upon those who have
been thrifty and enterprlslng, While
discouraging spectators.
There is fruitful lesson in the case
of the Empire state that may well be
initiated by the lawmakers or Ne
braska. next winter, when they seek TO
amend or revise the present revenue
law. Divide the assessments OF land
from landed improvements. Encour-
age those who improve. Discourage
these who persist in holding from
their natural heritage, the earth, those
more industrious citizens who are Will
ing and anxious to improve the land.
In the city OF Omaha there are vast
tracts OF land held by syndicates Tor
speculation. There are thousands OF
people DESTROYS of making homes for
their families. II an attempt is made
| to buy this land, the owners refuse to
sell. II they consider selling price at
| all. they will ask all the way from
$500 to $4,000 and more an acre. IL
| the assessors books are examined it
will be found that this land is assessed
( at dssaaGra. nominal SUNNI most in
stances not more t1an 6spsEs cent OF the
price fixed by the owners. At the sdssfe'
time il a citizen buys lot and builds
a house or shop upon it, the assessor
suddenly discovers that it is no longer
farm land but city property, and
still allows the SPECTATORS land ad-
joining to be considered farm land
What is true of Omaha is equally
true IN every city in Nebraska. Why
should this favoritism be shown to the
speculator at the expense OF those who
improve their lands? Which Of the
two citizens is of the most benefit and
credit to the community? Which OF
the two should therefore be favored
by the communicable citizen who
lives there and improves his land or
the speculator who lives in New York
or perhaps China? A great benefit
will be conferred upon all citizens OF
Nebraska who are industrious and en-
terprising by amending the revenue
law, causing separation of the lists
for taxation of land and landed inn
provements.-Q

Let us have bill framed for parlia-

LAS to the plan itself, it seems that
a few things may be held safe and
sure. Since we cannot use the old coin
then surely we must nave a new coin
milled coin, which Charles, the earlier
king Of England has decreed. Surely,
too, as our learned friend has wisely
stated, the loss in any recoinage
ought, in fun justice and honesty,
to fall not upon the people of
England, but upon the government
OF England. II seems equally plain
TO me there must be day set
after which the old coin may no longer
be used Set it some months ahead

Il few days; SO that full notice may be

piece to the court, gentlemen" re-
sumed Montague, seating himself and
turning at once to the business OF the
day. 1--WE are all agreed as to the
urgency of the case. The king needs
behind him in these times a contented
people. You have already seen the i'm
minence of a popular discomfort which
may shake the throne of England, none
too safe in these days of change. That
derstood and agreed. The question is,
how best to do this without further I'M
settling the times" One after another,
he called upon each of those present
for suggestions, leaving John Law to
the test.
MIR. Law" said Montague, by your
leave and by the leave of these gentle
men here present, | shall take the lib
ertv of asking you if there doth occur
TO your mind any plan by which we
may be relieved of certain of these
difficulties. | am aware, sir, that you
are much a student in these matters"
A grave silence fell upon all John
Law. young, confident and arrogant

thought, just as he possessed the eX-
ternal dignity to give it fitting vehicle.
He gaZed now at the men before him,
not with timorousness or trepidation.
His face was grave, and he returned
their glances calmly as he rose and
! made the speech which, unknown to
himself, was presently to prove SO i'm
portant in his life.
MY lords said he, and gentlemen
of this council, | am ill-itted to be
present here, and il-ftted to add my
advice to that which has been given.

pose of this meeting, or to lay before
you certain plans of my own regarding
the credit of nations. | may start SIM
ply from established principles of hui
man nature.
1T is true that the coinage is a
creature Of the government. Yet | be-
lieve it to be true that the government
lives purely upon credit, which is to
say, the confidence of the people in that
government
Nov, we may reason in this mat
ter from the lesser relations of our
daily life. What manner of man do we
most trust among those whom We
meet? Surely, the honest man, the plain
man, the one whose directness and in
tegrity we do not doubt Truly you
may witness the nature of such a man
in the manner of his speech, in his
mien, in his conduct. Therefore, my
lords and gentlemen, ii seems to me
plain that we shall best gain confidence
for ourselves if we act in the most
simple fashion.
Let us take up this matter direct
ly with parliament, not seeking to

BECKLEY WON'T Be
At The DEDICATION

Admiral Beckley called at the Adver-
tiser office yesterday and was strong
ly moved at the recollection of the
wrongs he had endured from the press
of Hilo. A suggestion in this paper
that he should attend the opening of
Mooheau Hall in full dress wearing
his royal orders-a thought merely
suggested by the fact that he was to
dedicate the hall to royal ancestor
was treated lightly by the Herald.
which suggested that he had "better
come in a shirt waist Nothing could
have disturbed the Admiral more and
he authorized this paper to say that
he would have nothing more to do with
the Mooheau park project.
ITS pau said the Admiral, as he
wiped his eyes repeatedly. Its an
insult. I have been ridiculed so much
that they threaten to discharge me
from my position with the Wilder COM
pany. I pay my bills and here for
moment the strong man wept. i've
got letter in my pocket from Stacker,
apologizing for what he said, but it's
all over. L shall not dedicate Moohe-
au Hall. No, I'll have nothing to do
with it,

THIS DEpARrMENr Will WORLDS SPORTS EvEr

Fadden will show to better advantage
with an opponent like Modlin than he
would with a less aggressive man.
There is no doubt but what McFad-
den and Modlin will be in the best pos
sible condition. Out at Long Branch
Modlin is working as though his life
depended upon it, while McFadden is
putting in his hardest ticks at the Hea-
lani Boat Club and the III. A. G. gym
nasium. McFadden invites the public
to visit him at the club any afternoon
at o'clock to watch him do his work.
Modlin will enter the ring brim-full
of confidence. He has watched the sor-
rel-top carefully in his last two fights
before the Honolulu Athletic Club and
had the following to say about the
Frisco lad: McFadden may be clever
and all that but when I meet him I
will force matters so fast that he won t
have chance to dance away. He has
nothing on me. I will win inside the
limit -
The wise ones say little, they are all
at sea about McFadden. They argue
that he is so foxy that he won't show
his hand. They all seem to think that
he is holding back and that when he
is pressed he will spring some sur
prises. "You can say for me that I
will be in shape to fight for my life, !"
said McFadden. tsThis climate is just
