While there is so much fuss and spec
ulation over the coming Republican
nominee for president, might it not be
worth while for the Republican party,
if it is really in earnest, to give some
pledge in the nomination as well rs in
the platform that it really intends to
keep one of the essential pledges on
which it went into Office last term,
namely the revision of the tariff If the
Democratic party comes into power,
there will be no question but what the
tariff will get pretty thoroughly revised
and particularly in the spots where it
most needs revision, the onerous and
unnecessary burden that is placed on
the manufacturers that might compete
from abroad with the latest trust hogs
at the public trough. But the Rapub-
lican party is also pledged to tariff re-
vision and for three years it has tlirted
with the question at safe long range.
The public has lost all faith in its prom
ises and it's platforms. There is but
one thing for it to do if it wishes TO
retain some measure of public confidence,
and that is to nominate some man
either at the head or the tail of the
ticket who is an ayowed tariff revsionist
and in whose word the people would
have more faith than in the abstract
promises of the party. The Fond du Lac

A well-known American actor, who

somewhat surprised and pleased in a
St Louis hotel a short time ago, when
a pretty girl stopped him in the CORR

without saying a word. He was more
surprised and less pleased to receive
note the following day reminding
him of the incident, and asking him to
send the giyer Of the flower two seats
at the theater in which he was play
ing 'as memento of the occasion"

road Lands That VIII Increase
Nearly $4,000

Additions to valuations have
been decided upon in Marion coun-
ty that will increase the assessment
of the main line Of the o. & G. rail-
road from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile. Railroad lands, and lands
owned in large bodies for specula-
tive purposes have also been raised
to add about $3,000,000 to the val
uations of this county. The in
crease of these values will add
about $4,000 to the revenues paid
by these corporations in the way of
county, state and local taxes.
Many of the railroad lands have
been 'cruised, and, besides, the land
value per acre will be assessed on a
basis of stumpage of so cents per
thousand. What this amounts TO
can be determined in the case of a
single quarter section of the rail-
road lands in township 8 south,
