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

was taxed the penalty of $10 under the rules

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
