Brynn's Reception.

The Hon. w. J. Bryan was given
reception in Madison Sd garden,
last Thursday, which was unprecedent-
ed, and most remarkable. He holds no
official position, and his hold upon
the affections of the people, has not
been impaired ty his two defeats for
lie presidency.
The sight of vast numbers of Demo-
crate, journeying from North, South,
East and West, to do honor to prl-
vate citizAn upon his return to his ma
tive country after years absence is a
marvel, that has only one explanation
Mr. Bryan is considered the repre-
sentative of the political principles
which appeal to the great body of the
American people. They have implicit
faith in his loyalty, to them, of his
ability, courage and integ rity. He has
the power to stir the people as no 9TH
er men has, because they believe in
him, and they have adhered to him
in adversely, and will continue to do
so in prosperity.
One of the most notable declarations
of Mr.. Bryan was in respect to the
money question. Having once been the
head and front Of the silver movement.
Mr.. Bryan's words on the subject will
attract wide attention and carry great
weight 1.-THE unlooked-for and UMPIRE
tedented increase in the production of
gold, said Mr.. Bryan, "has brought
victory to both the gold standard
people and the advocates Of bim-
etallism-the former keeping the gold
standard, which they wanted and the
latter securing the larger volume of
money for which they contended. We
who favor bimetallism are satisfied
with our victory, if the friends of mo-
nometallism are satisfied with theirs.

State Tax Commissioner Dillon has
instituted proceedings in sthe Circuit
court of Fayette county to rnove
from office 5. r. Carter and b. f. Bart
assessors of Fayette county.
Under the new tax Law $, the state
tax commissioner is charged with the
duty CT supervising the assessment
of property for taxation, and in carry
ing out what ne conceived to be his
duty under the law Dillon few days
ago went to Fayette county to look
hold estates of the county. He found
that the assessors proposed to place the
valuation of that kind of property at
figures much smaller than he thought
proper, and so suggested certain
amounts that would have made the
total about five and a half million for
the county.
He gave these figures to the assessors
and warned them that unless they
made the assessments somewhere
near them he would bring an action to
GUST them.
The assessment was finally made af-
ter the commissioner had threatened
to resort to mandamus proceeding, but
the figures given did not conform to
Commissioner Dillon's idea of the true
and actual value of the properties, but
the aggregate value of the coal leasehold
as returned by the assessors being $780,
900. while their ualue as estimated by
Commissioner Dillon and which the
assessors refused TO adopt is rs, 6S5 900.
In the petition filed by him Dillon
alleges that the assessors have willful-
Iy and fraudulently discarded the law
and violated their oath of office, and
that they were influenced to do so by
the owners of the property
The case is one of the sensations of
the year, which has neen prolific OF
sensational proceedings in the attempt
to carry out the new tax laws

county were last year assessed at S75,-

Who Owns This Whiskyi

In the Circuit Court the case of the
Hannis Distilling Company against
the County Court of Berkeley County
was argued and submitted last Mon
day. In the spring of 1905 Ellis Ellis,
an assessor, asked for the personal
property assessment Of the distilling
company, which was given him, but
which did not include any whisky on
hand, except about $500 barrels, which
the company had for bottling. Mr.. Ell
lis, acting under the instructions of
State Tax Commissioner Dillon, as
sessed the company with 1000 barrels
of whiskey at IS barrel, receiving in
formation on which he based his as
sessment from the revenue officers on
duty at the d,stilIery. The company
paid the tax and asked that it be
RENTED as an erroneous assessment.
The County Court refused to remit and
the case was taken to the Circuit
Court.
The State laws provide that personal
property whether under mortgage or
pledge, shall be assessed in the name
of the person who has the possession.
The distilling company claims that
whiskey is made only on order from
the principal Office in Philadelphia,
and so much only is made for which
orders are given. The whisky is imme-
diately delivered to the warehouse,
where it is placed in bond and ware
house receipt given for it, which is ne
gotiable The company is compelled to
deliver the whisky, less the warehouse
charges, on delivery of the receipt, and
consequently is unable to inform the
State authorities who owns whiskey
in order that it may be assessed to
other persons.
The court took the matter under adj
visement.
