TAX ABSTRACT
FOR YEAR 1887
Deputy County Clerk Cur
ran Nicsol Completes His
Compilation and Armour
ers Some Figuhes.
MORE THAN 100000
Is to Be Collected BY the Sheriff and
His Deputies - An Increase in
Amount For Collection, But Decrease
Is shown in Valuation.

According to an abstract OF taxes
due for the year which recently came
to a close, and which was prepared
by Deputy County Clerk Curran
Nichol, there is indebted to Jefferson
county and the State the sum of $S1S,-
537 SO against s29O,7oS.17 for the pre-
ceding year. The taxes are now be-
ing collected by Sheriff c. NJ. Philpot
and his deputies.
The taxes are being collected on an
assessed valuation OF real and per-
sonal property amounting to $12,425'-
235, while the total valuation for the
year 1906 was placed at $12,565,656.
The decrease in valuation is shown
to be $140,3S1, while the increase in
the amount of taxes is listed at &c.,
9.76. The increase in the school
tax during the past Year explains the
cause Of the differences.
The following statement shows the

ChicagO'S Record.

This weeks convention will be
the seventh the Republicans have
held in Chicago since the formation
of their party in 1856 1t was there,
IN 1860, the party nominated Lin
coin, the first Republican President.
It was in Chicago, eight years
later, the party unanimously chose
Grant TO be its leader. There, again,
in 1850, occurred the strenuous con
test that ended with the nomination
of Garfield on the thirty-sixth bal
lot. -Four years later, in the same
city, the party nominated a New
Highlander for the first and last
time-Blaine, of Maine.
There was another lively battle in
the same city in 1855, when more
than a dozen candidates we're hon
Ored on the first ballot, Mckinley,

ceived a few votes up TO the finish.
when the detection from the Sher-
man and Allison ranks gave the
nomination 10 General Harrison.
Again, in 1904. Chicago was the
scene Of the nomination by accla-
mantion of Theodore Roosevelt. who
today is not only President of the
United States, but by far the most
powerful personal element in the
Republican party-the man whose
choice for the nomination bids fair
10 prevail at Chicago this week, and
whose ideas and policies viii give
life and tone to the platform there
TO be adopted.

Enough Loose Talk.

A witness in the inquest on the
apartment house disaster so far lost
his head as TO say there was not
a single safe building in the Dis
trict of Columbia When confronted
with the stenographic report of his
testimony he could hardly believe
IL authentic. Then he explained
that what was meant was that, in
a certain absolute sense, there was
no building in Washington which
was proof against fire big enough
and hot enough to reduce the best
building materials to ashes.
OF course, there are safe build
ings in Washington. OF course,
there are buildings in Washington
proof against any fire with which
they are likely to be threatened.
OF course, 80 cut of every 100 build
ings now standing are as safe as an
icehouse. But we shall lose all the
advantage of these "of courses" if
we are not careful. A little more
loose talk, a few more ratified wit

No Longer Mere Play.

Some of the citizens of Water
Town, \. Y, learning that General
Grant, the old hero's son, was ex-
pected up that way. sent him a
bundle of invitations. He sent them
back word that he would be seen in
a blue shirt and not a Tuxedo, and
that he expected TO work eighteen
hours a day for the next month.
War may be all that General
Sherman said il was, but for long
time il was the fashion to take
mimic war none too seriously. Many
an encampment has been nothing
better than a stage spectacle, With
a fine parade before the audience,
and a jolly loaf behind the scenes.
But all this is gradually disappear
ing, and now 10 the front comes
the stiff tour Of practice under the
relentless spurs of the regular army
chiefs.
Do the State troops inch?- Not IN
the least. They have the .rsght
stuff in them. and it takes hard
work to bring il out. It's the same
with the regulars. In fact, it's the
same all through the service. The
old idea of breaking in the naval re-
cruit, for instance, was 10 keep him
boxed up in a harbor. Admiral
Evans contended that this was all
wrong, and he proved his point when
he took his $4,000 Jack Tars around
South America, and brougl5t them
back 80 the land of the Stars and
esssPA4 Ia the pink Of condition.
The old camp tour did some good,
of course; but this new field prac-
tice is not only better for the men,
but better for the country.
The main point is that if the
thing IS worth doing at all il should
be done well. Otherwise there will
be a waste of time and money, and
a dangerous state of unprepared-
ness.

the spirit that makes men beat
down the helpless TO dive for an
exit when some idiot criminal
imagines a fire, and we shall be
paying a reckoning in deprecated
property which none of us will like.
From the District Offices comes
the news that all the larger build
ings now in course of construction
are TO be specially inspected. This
is well enough. If there is defective
workmanship, if there are untrust-
worthy materials. the people have =
right to know. But there is every
reason 10 believe that not q single
one o. these other buildings is be-
ing erected without competent SUI
pervision, without every Precaution,
without a full margin of safety in
quality of material.
Meanwhile. and In our attention
10 the building which was not so
constructed, let US keep our minds
fixed on the mann result. That is
not controversy, not abuse, not gem
ordinations, not punishment even.
1t is finding the facts. whatever
they are-if the regulations have
been sufficient; if the organization
of the Building Inspectors Office
has been businesslike; if the adj
ministration of that office has been
dependable; if there has been favor
itism Of any sort for anybody.
When we know the facts we shall
know what to do. Until we know
them, the sensible course for us is
10 keep our heads. We have had
enough of loose talk already.

Sims of Tennessee.

Representative Thetus W Sims of
Tennessee, who is about to return
10 his home, must not leave Wash
ington without receiving through
The Times an expression of the
gratitude the people of the Dis
trict owe him for his work in their
behalf. AS the ranking Democrat
on the District Committee in the
House, he has in the past session
of Congress made a record for him
self which will last, and accom-
plished for the District much that
entities him 10 more than words Of
passing praise.
Coming from Tennessee. he was
far enough away from home 10 let
District affairs slide unheeded-s
practice that has been IN vogue too
long among certain members of the
committee. But here was a man
who addressed himself TO the task
of legislating for the District. did
ough and an ability so eminent that
through his efforts the District is
today distinctly better of than it
was before ne worked TO do il
good.
But for him, the anti-gambling
bill would never have become a law.
For that achievement alone, and
the brilliant parliamentary tactics
displayed in reaching it, honors be
long TO him. But for him, also, the
railroad track difficulties at the
Navy Yark would not have been set
tied so advantageousiy for the
people.
Finally. when the chairman and
many members of the committee
turned a deaf ear to the demands
for freedom from the expressions
of me Gas Monopoly Sims tried to
meet that demand in every way pos
sible. 1t was in spite of his tireless
determination. his clear grasp of
what was right, and his many eff
forts to abolish an iniquitous state
of affairs, that the people did not
receive the relief they desired.
For these and similar acts lasting
as long as the session, The Times
would convey TO him some express
sion of the Districts gratitude and
appreciation. We in Washington
are unfortunate in that we have no
one who can legislate directly for
us in Congress. Every Congress We
are troubled 10 know how deeply
the welfare of the District viii catch
the interest of those appointed to
the District committees. If they
were all like Sims Of Tennessee,
our uneasiness would be baseless as
fiction.
He is a legislator of remarkable
ability, untir1ng devotion to duty,
and honor so pre-eminent that he
instinctively finds the right and
works for it ceaselessly. 1t is small
wonder, therefore, that the District
is grateful to him. and desires that
he remain in Congress indefinitely.
