Harry Mills of th Altamont World read at some lengt from Sam Wood's last speech. Mr. Nelson Abbott was then called upon to adress the meeting. He read the preamble to the constitution as a text, and tor an hour and a half discussed the failure of legislation to secure the benefits and blessings which that fundamental law was designed to confer. The failure to establish iustlce, to promote the general welfare, to insure domestic tranquility and secure the blessingsof liberty were shown to be due to the financial system imported from England and bottomed upon usury.

Ice cream will be served in the grove which will be illuminated, and the concert will be given in the church. The public are invited. The school book question is one that still engages some portion ot public attention.

One of the most important points is uniformity. The matter may be brought before Ihe county Alliance next Tuesday and an expression of this body be made.

Pacts Which Ibow tbnt Ho Injufttlce Baa Been Done, Mound Valley, 6, 1S91. Editor Dear. Sir I beg leave to submit the following of the action of the board. of equalization. Horses and mules were made to average $23 in the cities of Parsons, Oswego and Chetopa, while only J1S in the country, for the reason that there are more very valuable stallions and fancy horses and fewer plug, unsalable horses in the cities above mentioned than In the townships, according to the whole number.

Cattle in those cities are made to. average $8, while only 50 In the townships, because there are not so many yearlings and small inferior, ill-fed cows in the cities as there uro In the country. For the same reasons last year, when a majority of the board were republicans, horses were made to average $'32 in the above named cities and cattle $3, while in the country horses wer S'2'2 and cattle $5. To make it still plainer, horses are $1 and cattle $1 lower In tho cities this year than they were last year under republican rule. The assessed valuation of taxable per sotal property in the three cities above mentioned averages lower than in other cities of about the same size in the state, and a raise of 13 percent on their mer chandise dees not cause the owners to pay an unfair share of taxes.

Kvery action of the' board now In force making a Incretse or lluction after careful and mature liberation was made by the concurrence of all the members of the board. Live stock In the townships is now, if any difference, r.ssessed higher than real estate. 1 The following statistics are taken from the seventh biennial report of the state board of agriculturo for the year The assessments arc about the eatre this year. Asnesscd vt-luc of taxable personal a property. ZlM.tr! r.7,V.:J Population rarr.ons 1-t Oswofco and tvrp Chetooa and Emporia and Ottawa ami tvrp luiiction CityA twp.

Kureka and Harnett and twp Larncd and tvrp Now the three Labette county cities nnu towtiKhi') aggregate 12,512 population taxable personal property, hile the six Ins named cities aggregate 32.017 population and of taxable personr.1 property, or 2 times as much according to population as the three Labette counts' cities. Therefore we do not think the publlt press has -any ground for accusing all of the members of the county boatd with dishonestly discriminating against the three cities in this county. Respectfully, Mn.o Hiuntirrn. AeamciilH in Town mid Country. Our neighbor of the Oswego Democrat last week made the following timely knock-cih-over reply to the puerile caviling of certain' county newspapers which are never eo happy as when captiously complaining agajnst the Alliance people and their cllorta to be impartial nd equitable in official" conduct The Parsons Palladium Is not doing the tax payers of the cities a kindness when it Httemps to create the Impression that the majority of the board of county commissioners discriminated against the towns in equalization assessment.

It is undoubtly true, that real estate in the towns is assessed a great deal higher, In proportion to its value, than farm land, bat the I'AHiance commissioners'' are not responsible for that, as realty was not assessed this year. Neither can they be charged with unfairness in regard to live stock. of the cattle in the towns are milk cows, worth from $25 to per head, and each about one-third to one-sixth their value certainlj is not a very high assessment. The farmer's cat-tle. assessed at SI.W) per head, includes everything from six months old and oyer.

While some of the farmers havp thoroughbred or high grade cattle, a large majority of them have common stock, the vulue of which, ns compared with with the Jerseys Short-hornSj Holsteins nnd their grades, in the cities, is far less than the tiilTerence in their assessed value. The same comparison will hold goiMi in regard to horses. And it might not be on! i place to state (hat the A III-anee commissioners fixed tho avernge of horse in the cities' at $2S per head; lat er the avernge was but as that wan ilone under the benign rule of the republican parfy no pomplaint ns made. The democratic assessor of Oswego returned cows at $10 per head, but the commissioners" cut that down to is. ami and )f the republican? nre making any complant about It, they they will have to speak a little louder.

As stated an investigation us to whether farmers or the people In the cities pay inure than their proportion of taxes, on'personal property, will not result in favor of the latter. For instance, Parson has three banks. Lee Clark testified before the. commissioners that the deposits in his bank atlhat lime were ST.VW. Presuming this to be a fair average, the deposits in the three banks, would nnioiuit to while the people of Parsons pay taxes on the paltry sum of I And jet, the commissioners arc fhs-criminnting against the town people because i lie farmer's poor, scrawny 6ix-mi: it V-t 1 brindle steer is only assessed at 4 Taxes should be, must be, equalized, and property of whatever characterand wherevershould bear its just proportion of the burdens of taxation, and we believe the commissioners are actuated by proper motives in their ellort to accomplish this result.

This in connection with its Through Sleeping Car service makes the M.K.&T. the best equipped line in ihe southwest. Gaston Mksmku, G.

P. T. Sedalia, Mo. At the last election in Fairview township a prominent republican was present with pencil and paper, taking down the names of all ex-union soldiers who voted the Peoples ticket. He gave them cool comfort by sayiog he would see that their penMors were stopped.

This ought to make the township unanimous next November. When your heart is bad, and your heHd is bad, and you are bad clean through, what Is needed?" asked a Sunday school teacher of her class. "I know Ayer's Sarsapari'la," answered a little girl, whose sick mother bad recently been restored to health by that medicine. Some of our republican editors are still Id hysterics over the idea of the Alliance people holding picnics on the Fourth. It was ridiculous in their eyes to see such a thing done.

Accordingto their theory farmers ought to be hewers of wood and drawers of stone, and ask no questions. A prominent republican, who is seeking nomination for a county office, was seen going home from this city one day last week so drunk that he could scarcely navigate a sixty-foot road. He will now undoubtedly secure republican endorsement. Important business before Success Alliance at its meeting on Saturday nlgbt. There should be a large attendance.

Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whoso example is worthy imitation, tells her experience below: I In one store whero I went to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce mo buy their own instead of Hood's; he told mo thcir's would last longer; that I might take It on ten days' trial; that if 1 did not llko it I need not pay anything, etc. But ho could not prevail on mo to change. I told him I knew what Hood's SarsaparilLi was.

I had taken it, was satisfied with it, ajrd did not want any other. Hood's When I began taking nood'3 Sarsaparilla I was feeling real BuHcring a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times-1 could hardly stand. I looked, and had for somo time, like a pcrsou la consumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did mo so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of it." Mjbs. Ella A.

It was a bottom lield of about forty-live acres, which had been planted in corn and oats at the proper season, but which were destroyed by the overflow. There is time fr a crop of corn to grow.

No information was sent to the newspapers of hi coining, and consequently very few persons were aware tf it. Of course his audiences were were liht. Mr. Scott is a very able and entertaining speaker, and is entitled to better treatment. If those who arrange these matters had forethought enough to send the Statesman word in time to publish the appointment, perhaps the results mipht not be so unsatisfactory.

The-festivities on the Fourth at Chetopa were considerably mixed.

A small lot of young fellows who seem to take a pride in being "toughs" raised quite disturbance in the afternoon. Wedont know how it originated, but three of them Jacob Yocum, Frank Cunningham and Chid. made an assault on I. D. Highleyman, in which pistolsand knives were used rather recklessly.

Beck was on his horse and made a lunge at Highleyman, cutting the tie and collar on his neck, while the latter dealt Beck a heavy blow with a club. Beck clung to his horse and escaped. Yocum and Cunningham were arrested and taken before justice Frye. who held them to answer in the district court on a charge of assault with intent to kill. In default of ball they were lodged in the jail.

The Same Here. The Burlington Courier Bays: Last week's Republican bad seven sheriff-sale notices, but tbe reader will plainly observe that the report of mortgage indebtedness of the county will not show that these farms were sold by the sheriff. All is fair, yes, too fair on the tdogul end of the track when it conies to publishing the facts of the case.

BUFFALO. N.Y. A Woman Counterfeiter. Deputy United States Marshal Sloane arrested at Grenola last week a woruau giving her name as Mrs. Powers and brought her to Chetopa yesterday, where she will be called upon to answer to tbe charge of passing counterfeit money.

She is the same woman who tried to pass a counterfeit live dollar gold piece at a grocer store in Fareons some three months ago, and if report be true she has been engaged in the business for years. The past year she has been operating in this section and there are but few towns in the southeastern part of the 6tate that have not been victimized by her slick mode of operation. This is the day of small thieving. A few days ago a sneak or two 6tole a sack of clothes pins and a tin funnel from the house of Mr. J.

E. Vansant just eat-t of the city. The en lire lot was not worth twenty cents. The public will please keep its ear close to the ground. An event is ex pected to eventuate in the near futnre.
