Tort Replies to the Era,
Editor of Tribuni;: If there ever
was a pressing and urgent demand for
the discussion of the question of taxation
it is seen in the four column editorial of
the Era in answer to mine of recent date
in The Tribune. A count shows that
Fort has been mentioned no less than
thirty times. and the intention evidently
has been to discuss Fort rather than tax
ation. .
The letter of Wesley Lewis in Tribune
of Feb. 4th is a good one. Mr.
Iiewis who is as honest and capable a
young man as ever from consciencious
motive voted the populist tioket, states
that the ngitatidn of this question was
denied him in the populist organ. About
a year ago several populists asked me to
take up this question. Complying with
this request, I handed the Era office an
article on this subject, it laid in the Era
office for several weeks, and when it ap
peared, the editor severely criticized it.
As it was on the line of reform I had pre
sumed that this was what populist pa
pers were engaged in. The Era's com
ments caused me to change uiy plans
and I deferred the continued agitation
Of two of our county commissioners, one
resides upon a school section south of
town and another rents the Burgor
place belonging to Gregory Schatz on
Whitehorse creek on the north, the
other wo all know. The assets of our
county amounts to over a million, in
which the residents in connection with a
number of outsiders are stock holders.
But referring to the taxation question:
Something must bo dne, when we can
not sell or cannot hold on owing to the
burden all are forced to boar and the
new-comprs would be compelled to carry
the imposition if tbeybjuglit and settled
among us. Tuesday last" .Mr. Golding,
formerly of Kearney, now of Salt- Lake
and General Emigration Agent, informed
me that during tho last ninety days
three dift'oront agents for colonies had
been investigating the advantages of
fered to persons desiring farms and
homes in Dawson, Lincoln and Keith
counties, two of the parties have decided
to inako in Idaho their future home, and
one Now Mexico. These investigators
represent several hundred colonists. They
report that taxes are altogether too high
in the counties named, to allow, when
of the matter. The four column bull- J other matters are taken into considera
dozing editorial in connection with the
Era's former comments and Mr. Ijewis'
Ifitter creates the inciuirv of what iB
"mtten," what "wrong;" what has been
going on, that such an important and
vital question should be suppressed by
the county official organ? What is the
matter anyway, where is the colored
gentleman in the woodpile, who is going
to be hurt These things show that this
question hag been kept back too longTor
common good.
From whence arises the cause for the
Era's timidity. Cheyney we only know
as a late, arrival from a job printing of
fice in the city of Washington, D. C,
no cne knows anything as yet about
what real esta property he holds here.
tion, any investment or occupancy. Many
of our people would gladly sell but
taxes scaro and deter parties with money
from buying. Take the condition of our
farmers or rather tryers for that name
more nearly covers their attempts when
men try to derive any income from the
sou in a partly and country where the
average rainfall only amounts to 18 in
ches annually. They to-day have been
piacea in a similar position lo tne non
resident; having mado proof on their
homestead they all suffer alike and more
severely than the foreign land owner
Theeo men should be encourged to work
as rapidly as they are able into cattle

ana sneep ana wun low taxes on our
eheap grazing lauds, 'which to-day can
be fenced at low cost, they can easily be
come the ownqr of a section or more and
become in timo prosperous and comfort
able. Our high taxes prevent this most
desired result from being attained. This
injures the prosperity of our city, it de
creases trade, reduces the sales of every
merchant, also the the lumber and coal
men.
Again freezing out the outside tax
payer who justly and wisely refrains
from paying an unreasonable and gre
vious tax, common sense business prin
ciples are violated; for while he
might be called with our own people un
fortunate, would pay for a long series of
years a law lax he proposes to pay noth
ing and allow himself to be robbed of
his property, when from 830 to $60 per
seclionTls chargedlagainst him-on-pas-ture
land. Then we kill the bird that
lays tho golden egg by an unjust exac
tion, and in the end, obtain nothing, for
who will bo their Euccessors and allow
the process of legal piracy to be contin
ued upon them? No sane man, surely.
What then will be tho financial stand
ing of our county?
The Era by its declaration informs
the people that holding property iB a
crime if you invest in it away from
home, but many of our peoplo have
their small and hard earnings lacked up
in surrounding lands; shall they be le
gally despoiled and tyrannically robbed
in order to injure tho equally unfortu
nate non-resident? Shame on such a
proposition. It is dishonest and crimi
nal to propose it.
I have notirae or inclination to talk
about Fort. It is enough to say that in
1881 when I bought my property with
money acquired by toil of the hardest
and severest kind, I could rent my
houses easier then for 16 per month
than I can to-day at $6. Then the
buildings were new and required no re
pairs; while property of this character
has depreciated from one-half to three-
fourths. Then 40 was more readily
earned than ten to-day. My taxes,
however, are far above the benefits ob
tained or anywhere near to the decline in
tbe property value, and at present
rates it is proportionately higher and
harder to bear. But taxes must come
down, despite the Era's opposition.
Yours respectfully,
I. A. Fort.

WEDDING SELLS.
One of the most brilliant weddings
that has occurred in North Platte for
many a day was celebrated at the Church
of Our Saviour Mondayjevening atseven
o'clock.
Miss May Cooper, one bf North Platto's
well known and highly esteemed young
ladies, was united in" mhrriage to Louis
C. Hansen of Grand Island. The in
terior of the church was beautifully il
luminated and the decorations were
superb. The altar xv&b festooned with
smilax and trimmed with bridal roses
and red and white campions. A broad
"white ribbon with dainty bows was
swung across" the central isle to mark
the seats of tho relatives and guests.
Several hundred people witnessed the
ceremony.
A few minutes before the bridal party
arrived at the church "the organ, at
which Mr. Doohtllo presided, accompa
nied by the orchestra, began the pro
csssional wedding byrnn-.wb.ich was sung
by the vested choir of twenty voices as
they proceeded from the'raain entrance
to their places in the chancel. At the
close of the processional hymn the or
gan glided into the melodious strains of
tho wedding march and jhe bride-elect,
leaning on the arm of F. E. Bullard,
followed by the maid of honor, Miss Ada
Coopej, sister of the bride, her mother
and three sisters, approached the altar
tho groom and best manjoining the bri
dal couple at the chancpl steps. The
bride was attired in a handsome gown
and carried a boquet of bride's roses.
The marriage ceremony was poformed
by the Rev. George A. Beech fr, rector
of the parish, according, to the solemn
and impressive order prescribed by the
church. At the conclusion of the ser
vice tho bridal couple knelt at the altar
and a sweet marriage hymn was sung
by the choir. After the beuediction tho
bridal party retired from tho chancel,
followed by tho choir singing the happy
strains of tho hymn, "On our way re
joicing."
Following the service at the church a
reception was hold at. tho home of the
bride's mother. An elaborate luncheon
was served and the fifty or more guests
had a merry time. l
The couple left lhasatae nightafor
