EXPERTS WHO DO NOT AGREE IN FIGURES Suit of Mnyne Aenlnnt the Cltr Urines Out Some Novel Testimony Con cerning the I.niid Annlint Which TnxeK Are Levied. That a wide diversity of opinion exists among real estate dealers of this city as to the valueof property In Council Bluffs was made apparent yesterday afternoon during the hearing of the suit brought by W. 8. Mayne against the city. The suit In ques tion 1 to restrain the city from collecting city taxes on forty acres of land owned by Mayno Just north of the water works on Droadnay. Mayne says that the property In controversy Is used solely "for agricul tural purposes , " and consequently should bo exempt from assessment of city taxes. On the other hand the city contends that the property has been platted and should bear its proportion of the- city taxes , the same as the adjoining lots. That the property was valuable for residence purposes the city attempted to show by several real estate dealers who wore called upon to testify as to the market value of the land. W. H. Binder testified that In his opinion the property was worth at least $300 an acre. Q. McQee thought It was worth between 1200 and $300 an aero , whllo J. P. Green- shields testified that It was In his Judg ment not worth over $100 an acre , and In . fact It had been listed with him for a long ) tlmo and ho had been unable to dispose of It at this figure. George H. Mayne , a son of the plaintiff , testified that he had tried on several oc casions to sell the land at even a lower figure than $100 an acre , but had not been able. The hearlug was not ) concluded when court adjourned. The suit of the Sterling Manufacturing company against Chief of Police Blxby came up for another round. The motion of Blxby In arrest of Judgment and for a new trial and the motion of the Sterling Manufactur ing company to expunge a certain portion of the findings of the court were argued and submitted. The portion of the findings of the court that the Sterling Manufactur ing company sought to have expunged from the record was that In which the court said that the evidence had failed to show the Intent of embezzlement on the part of Blxby. This motion Judge Macy overruled and the record stands. The motion on the part of Blxby for arrest of judgment and a new trial was overruled except as to thi > Item of $150 , with Interest thereon at 6 per cent from August 10 , 1897 , to October 8 of this year , the principal being the salary for July , 18i7. ! about which there was no dispute In the evidence. The court therefore fore- ordered that the sum of $160.50 bo deducted - ducted from the amount of the Judgment decreed In favor of the Sterling Manufactur ing company , leaving the Judgment In favor of the plaintiff In the sum -of'$1,379.50 after making the deduction. The motion of Blxby for apportionment of the costs was also overruled. In the cases of H. F. Cornolson and Jesse M. Smith against the Sledentopt estate Judge Macy sustained the motion of W. F. Sledentopf , administrator , to have the defaults - faults and Judgments set aside , they having been unadvisedly entered. Judge Macy ad ministered a rcbuka to the attorney for tha plaintiffs In these cases for bis action In taking the defaults and Judgments , whllo there was a demurrer pending and undis posed of. The- suit of Charles Herbach against Emily Martin was continued until next term on motion of the defendant , against whom was taxed the penalty of $10 under the rules of the court. Emma Forsyth was made executor with out bond of the will of the late Mrs. Su- sanah Forsyth , her mother.

GOVERNOR SHAW AT IIARIAN Iowa's Chief Executive Delivers au Eloquent Campaign Speech. ABLE DISCUSSION OF LEADING ISSUES Colilortk Wind Ulan * , litH Fnrmerii Flock In from ( lie Surround- Country to Iilntcit to the Addreas. HAttLAN , la. , Dot. 25. ( Speclnl Tele gram. ) In spite of a cold north wind today a crowd of 600 people greeted Governor Shaw at the opera house. For two and a half hours lie held the audience In closest atten tion by his plain , straightforward speech , farmers were present from all over 'the county and appreciated the speech highly , as was shown by their attention and applause. Business men were present In numbers and they Btldora take any Interest In an after noon campaign speech. Shaw's reputation as a lucid and forcible exponent of the gold standard was well sustained. Ills manner was absolutely frank and courageous. It was the best meeting that has been held here this fall and republicans feel jubilant over Its results. Many democrats and popullBta j j were present. I Governor Shaw , in reference to the bond Issue , said In part : ' The free silver people- generally have complained because of the Issuance of bonds with which to defray the expenses of the present war. They have Insisted that the government ouRht to have Issued United States notes Instead. It Is quiteposalblu that this question Is troubling more people ple than many suppose. At least two demo cratic candidates for congress and perhaps I i moro are making this Issue prominent In I their canvass. A good republican Bald to | me the other day : "Whv was It thought ' best to Issue a 3 per cent bond when nou- I Interest-beartnK greenbacks would have sup- ! ! piled the required revenues ? " He was an Intelligent man. a thoughtful man. and while disposed to stand by the policy of lilsi party he could see no reason for such pol icy until It was explained to him. The sil ver people usually insist that this was dnno In the Interest of the so-called "money power. " it has become eo customary to as sign vicious motives for all financial legis lation that many good people are led to glvo credence to these suggestions. Dut It Is urged that these bonds were desired bv the national banks as security | for Increased circulation. It Is said that they can be purchased by these banks , then deposited with the United States treasury and 90 per cent thereof In currency bo se cured , which can ba loaned , and that the Interest on this currency , plus the Interest on the bonds , will make a magnificent In vestment. Without stopping to discuss the question , let me suggest that the First Na tional bank of Chicago , of which Hon. Ly- man J. Gage was for years the able presi dent , many years ago retired all Its circula tion ; that , while It has J300.000 of bonds , as shown bv Its statement , with which It might secure a circulation of $270,000. it is not circulating a single dollar , and never had a circulation but little above the mln- I Imum required bv law. It la safe to pre- I sume that If. under existing laws , it was I profitable to purchase bonds and maintain j a largo issue of national banknotes , so well managed a bank as the First N'atlorul of Chicago , with such an experienced finan cier at its head , \voujd pursue that policy. OutntnndliiR Notes. The government now has outstanding In round numbers J3f6.000.000 of United States notes. It will be remembered that these greenbacks fluctuated In value until Janu ary 1 , 1879. Gold Is' the universal standard I of value and practically the sole medium of exchange In International commerce. Whoever purchases goods abroad must pay for them in gold. Thus It Is that merchant * who bring to our shores tl'e products of other lands , tea. coffee , spices an-1 other ne cessities , as well as many luturici , mutt needs have gold with which to settle for eign , balances , and whenever gold cannot be had at the treasury of the United States they are compelled to purchase It in too markets. For more than fifteen years it re quired a varying and ever fluctuating amount In greenbacks to purchase a given amount of cold , and greenbacks became of the same value as gold , that U , at par with gold , only when the government of 'h > United States offered to redeem then In gold. When this provision -vas made they ceased to fluctuate. To provide for the redemption of these greenbacks both the leading political parties ( until 1896) ) agreed that it was necessary for the treasurer of the United Staes to keep In his vaults a reserve fund of tioo- 000,000 In gold. Whenever this reserve was encroached upon the credit of the i.r.Hon i was recognized to be endangered. All will ' remember that between 1893 and the tlecilon of 1896 It was repeatedly necessary to borrow - , row gold with which to replcnisu this re serve. If it be necessary ( as all have heretofore conceded ) to keep constantly in the treasurer's hands $100,000.000 in gold as a reserve protection for $316,000,000 of greenbacks , it would be necessary to In crease very largely this reserve If fS'iO.OOO- 000 additional were to be floated. The same ratio of reserve would require about $60,000,000 additional. This fund ilra vs no Interest , remains idle , and It follows that J200.000.000 additional greenbacks would at best only add to.the circulation JllO.onfi- 000. . \IipruI to Farmer * . Some in mv audience are farmers. You bought your farms years ago and tirliu- proved. You were without stock nnd In rore I need of agricultural Implements You were in debt at the store nnd vour current ex penses fully equaled your current I\ejme. A financial problem presented itself to you somewhat analogous to that which eon- fronted the nation In the spring of this year. You found your demand obligations troublesome. U was difficult for you tn keen a sufficient reserve of currency nr hand with which to redeem th'vp account ? and ever-maturing obligations. Some of you , and probably most of you , pnri < ; d the sam course that the government pursued end which Is now called In question. Instead of issuing duo bills , payable on demand , to your grocer , your blacksmith , lumbTnan or Implement dealer , you Issued your bond , secured by a mortgage. You preferred to do business on a cash his , " and to .ivo'd ' that rcstltfiF.nfs ? which comes to u > a u or at least ought to come t ons , when ho has demand obligations whlcrt ho cannot meet. If your wife was a financier of she "up-to-date" fusion typo , ho got mad and said you were doing this In the Interest of the loan fcbark : she said It was time for you to manage your affairs for the p'-ntrrti r. of your family and not In the Interest of the mortgage flend. Rut If you succeeded in getting her to listen long enough for you to explain , you told her that I * was all-important for you that your paper bp protected from depreciation ; that Iliu onlv way you could keep rv r paper good was In the same way that t > e government of the United States keeps Us paper uood. You showed ber the nec ssltv i.f being 'ii a condition to tell your creditor to take bit' choice between > our ticto and the cash. If you went to your banker or to the Implement dealer nnd said to him. "You have a note against me , sir ; that note Is just as uond as gold , for I am as honest as the day ! < ; long , " you may have been surprlspd that ho was not satisfied with the statement. He very likely said to you , "This obligation calls for money now. " If you answered him , "I know It does , but I am not going to pay it now ; you will bo compelled to wait , sir , until I get ready to pay It. In the meantime you must be pvjfnt with the knowledge that that paper U just no good as gold , for I am as honebt is the day Is long , and I stand back of It , " then I pre diet that you have never since resumed cither specie or currency payment. That type of financiers Is seldom able to m trusted for a sack of flour. I submit that you did not do anything of tlmt kind , Your good wife was not nn "up-to-date" populist financier. She was nblo to distin guish between c h payment and cash de mand and she gladly , nnd In the Interest of tvr household , nnd with bright hope * of the future , signed the mortgage , In cum bered the homestead , nnd thereby placed cash In vour hands with which to discharge your existing obligations Mil to nuvt tliti Increased expense of opening tip no > v ter ritory. In course of time the balance cf trade turned In your favor. You carried more produce from your farm to the town than you brought of merchandise and ware * from the town to your farm , and , ns w-lth the government , gold flowed to your ports , nnd with this you long since discharged the mortgage and retired your bond. The policy you pursued w-as the expression of your best Judgment and In the Interest cf those dependent upon you. The policy of congress must alwiVR be presumed to bo Hie exprcoslon of the best ludgment of the dom inant partv nnd Intended to benefit all ecu- cerned. She Is an unhappy woman a.11 I'm | mistress of a contentious houBehold Hio distrusts everv transaction of her husbanJ , and It Is likewise an unhappy partv , and the fruitful mother of disastrous fliunrlul agitations , which questions every public n-.t. maligns every public man nnd dlseraJi' " every public rmnsure.
