Railroads Bend Agent. The actual hearing of protests was got tinder way about 10 o'clock. All com rlalnants were sworn and City Attorney Wright, with the assistance of Tax Com missioner Fleming, conducted the examin ations. In most cases the recommendations of the tax commissioner were sustained. FYlday afternoon a number of the railroads liad representatives present to pro test lgalnst the raises announced Thurs day. ' In securing a reduction of $19,000 on the Paxton building assessment W. Farnam Smith, the agent, declared the property was paying In rentals about per cent on the Investment, and that In comparison with the New York Life building It was aasessed too high, although he asserted the land at Sixteenth and Farnam Is more valuable than that rmtf block west. The figure set tled UDon Is the same as that made In 1001 nd the board was governed"" in Its action largely by the statement that the Board of Review had lopped off $57,000 from the New fork "Lire and 128,000 from the Bee building assessment advances proposed and made by. Commissioner Fleming. Prevents Partner Cut. This cut also prevented a further reduc tion on the Now Tork Life property. At torney Gaines asked that the proposed as sessment of $612,500 be lowered to $637,000, asserting that the building waa paying .iess than 4 per cent on the Investment of ?5O,000. The councllmen, however, could see no reason for a further reduction and would not sanction It. A -ery decided difference of opinion as to the value of the Jamed Monroe Parker estate, lying cloae along the river between Omaha and Florence, was developed be tween Commissioner Fleming on one anrt and Attorney C. A. Ooss and Chairman Huntington on the other. The latter, be side being asked to sit In judgment. Is a trustee of the land, ' which comprises $43 acres. ' Fleming said It waa worth nearer $1,000 an acre than $100, which the other aide was contending for, and this called forth exclamations of astonishment from the representatives of the estate. It finally was agreed o assess all the' land, w4th the exception of thirty acres, at $200 an acre. The latter gets In at $160. ' , Action on the complaints of property owners who claim they are greatly affected by the Great Western terminals was de ferred until later In the sitting, when they Will all be passed upon together. Brewers Figs res Stand. Commissioner Fleming had returned In creases of the personal property of the Btors brewery from $24,000 to $41,000; Meti, $19,000 to $34,000, and the Krug, from $23,000 to $36,000. W. I. Klerstead add Harry D. Reed, members of the Board of Review, explained that as a majority had decided to allow the personal property assessments of the breweries to stand as voluntarily re turned because of the heavy real estate taxes paid by all of them and the large amounts contributed annually in licenses. Commissioner Fleming dissented to this view, but the Board of Equalisation ruled against him and ths original returns will aland. The Willow Springs brewery as sessment will be given similar treatment when brought up. Searching questions were asked all com plainants and most of them replied wlth- ut Hesitation, some being provided with receipts, contracts, etc., to show the price of buildings. Several who admitted having considerable money Invested In warrants, stocks, etc., were directed to appear Satur day morning with a complete list. ! Batata Men Active.

THE ILLUSTRATED BEE POPULARITY MUST HAVE a basis !n merit In order to be en during. Admitting the truth of this proportion, the popularity of The Illustrated Bee Is the best possi ble evidence of Its merit. It long ago established Its place st the ad of all newspaper mngaxlne supplements published In the west, and has since maintained that proud distinction, de spite the attempts of rivals to over take It. To do this has required un remitting vigilance In the preparation of the paper each week, and the re sult has been for the reader a decided advantage, ' In that each week The Illustrated Bee Is filled with the brightest and cleanest of mntter avail able, so prepared and lllut-ated that the paper Is a magazine In fact aa well as name. RUSSIA AND JAPAN have occupied much space In the public eye for several weeks and during that time The Illustrated Bee h e been publish ing each Sunday special Illustrated articles concerning the two countries. In the forthcoming number" will be found a specal article on "The Fight ing Leaders of Russia," telling of the men who will lead the armies of the csar In case of war.

Steps may be taken to secure an assess ment of the railroads more nearly in con formity with other assessments than the council proposes, and the entire question was discussed at length yesterday after noon by n embers of the committee and City Attorney Wright. The committee Is reluctant to stand by idle, fearing that such an attitude would bo Interpreted to mean that It had given up the fight, whereas the members say such is not a fact. Ths Adams Express -company, through Attorney Klnsler, filed a swern statement by Superintendent J. H. Butler, declaring the gross state business done In the Omaha office for the past year amounted to but I12,17.7. This corporation had failed to re turn a schedule and the tax commissioner made an estimate of $42,800 as the gross business, representing the franchtsed value. COUNTERFEIT SILVER COIN Bnorlnos One Dollar Pleeos Are Circa, lnted, bat Makers Are Fader ' Arrest. A counterfeit silver dollar of the data of 1883 has put In an appearance In western Iowa, a rample of which Is now in pos session of the secret service depsrtment In Omaha. The coin Is a dangerous one and approximates very nearly the weight of tho genuine. It Is made from an admix ture of the best quality of babbitt metal, antimony and bismuth. It Is then heavily copper plated and later' given a durable coat of sliver. It possesses the requisite ring of the genuine coin and about its only deceptive feature is Its lightness. The coin In the hands of the government secret service official of this city came from Ottumwa, la., where It was discov ered by the bank on which It was passed. The makers of the coins were arrested several weeks ago In Chicago with their coin making outfit and are now In custody. They have, however, succeeded In floating a considerable number of the coins, and their appearance In Nebraska may be ex pected at any time. PLAN TO RAISEJUGAR BEETS any Morton Said to Bo at Head of Movement to Foaad Industry on Barllnsrtoa. It la reported at Burlington headquarters that Joy Morton of Chicago will bo In Omaha In a few days and thst he, with H T. Leavltt of ths Standard Beet Sugar company and a party of friends, will leave via the Burlington for a trip to Guernsey, Wyo., for the purpose of looking into the possibilities of raising sugar beets In that territory. In case it is found that pros pacts are favorable, it Is said, a company will be organised with Mr. Morton at the head to build refineries to manufacture sugar. General Manager Holdrege of the B. M. probably will accompany the party. . , 10 EVADE SUPREME COURT Hill afld Morgan Creditsd with 8clien to Oijinin Anoiher Way. TO UNITE ROADS AS THE ERIE SYSTEM Plan to net Aronnd Defeat In Northern Securities Fight Involves Evi dence of nill-Hsrrlma'n Reconr Hint Ion. Should the decision regarding the North ern Securities company, which will he handed down by the courts next month, be unfavorable to that company, as It Is said Hill and Morgan believe it will be, It Is reported In this city that another plan Is In course of development which will answer the same purpose as the securities com pany was Intended to answer, and that la the consolidation of all the Hill lines under one head. If the decision Is against the company, It will be necessary for the stock in the several railroads, which were to be controlled, to be redistributed. This stock was gathered from the stockholders In the varloua companies which went to make up the Northern Securities company and stock In the securities company waa exchanged for it. . Tho report now In circulation Is to the effect that all of the western lines which go to make up the securities company will be absorbed by the Erie and that name will be given to nil the lines, making them one expansive system. Hill and Morgan are said to argue that this plan of merger cannot be dissolved In the courts, as there are plenty of precedents to Justify such action on the part of J. P. Morgan A Co. and J. J. Hill. Strength Is given to this belief by the fact that at tho meeting of directors of the Erie, held in New Tork this week, the voting trust which has con trolled that road since the reorganization. waa dissolved by the board declaring a 2 per cent dividend, the second of the same amount declared during the fiscal year. Lawyers Advise Morgan. In case the new plan Is carried out the new company will include the Erie, North ern Pacific, Great Northern and Burling ton systems, all under one head. Eminent lawyers, the report says, have been con sulted by Mr. Morgan, who has the re organization in charge, and they have told him that the objections raised against the Securities company cannot be, maintained against the organization of the roads named above into one great system under the name of the Erie, or some other name which might be chosen for the system aa a whole. The Erie has been made up of several smaller lines, which were Independ ent companies before the reorganisation. and the same system which made the Erie carried still farther could bo made to In clude all the Hill properties. Another strong precedent which has been estab lished along the 'same line was the ab sorption of the Lake Shore & Michigan Central by the New York Central, in the accomplishment of which the New Tork Central exchanged Its own Stt per cent bonds for the securities of the other roads. llnrrlman In the Deal. In connection with the reports it Is re garded as significant that Mr. Harrlman recently has been elected a director of the Erie, in which he Is now a heavy stock holder. This places the control of the road In the hands of E. H. Harrlman, J. J. Hill, J. Plerpont Morgan and Jacob Schlff, the man who was In control of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington be fore the great' fight which precipitated the Northern Pacific panic. This Is taken as proof of the story that. Hill and Harrlman are-getting together. .Should the supreme court order the securities of these com' panles redistributed, the bulk of them would fall Into the hands of these four men, Just what effect the merger will have on the Burlington, tn which this city is most Interested, la not known. "That will depend entirely," said a Bur lington official, "on whether the manage ment of the new company Is placed under one head, with authority extending over the entire system, or whether the present plan of a division of authority Is continued. In the former case the Burlington head quarters probably would be taken away from Omaha, as would probably have been the case had the Northern Securities com. pany been a success."

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. $2.-Under the heading, "Sheer Political Insanity." Henry Wattsrson said Id today's Courier-Journal: Mr. Bryan lays down his ultimatum. The party must first re-enact the platforms of imt and 19U0. Then, it must select a nomi nee of Mr. Bryan's approving, if not of his choosing, Mr. Bryan having blacklisted each and every democrat who has shown any vitality, or carried any election the last four or nve years. Finally, the party must accept no money for Its campaign expenses from the "common enemy" too common enemy being each and every one who has any money to spare. This Is the faith cure, pure and simple. In a free country. In a country ruled, or supposed to be rjled, by public opinion, parties, being merely the expressions of the popular will, must needs on occasion revUe their lines. All parties have dime thla The demo cratic party in particular has often done it. What, for example, would have been thought of the democratic platform of inea repeating the democratic platform of 1804, which declared the war a 'failure'? What would have been thought of the platform of 1878. or thst of 18s0, repeating the green back declaration of tho platform of ISA? In like manner, after two successive over whelming defeats, what must be the effect of the platform makers of IS 4 taking their Inspiration and their cue rather from the platforms of 1896 and 10 than from those, let us say, or 1892 and 1884, on which de cisive victories were won. The democratic party needs votes. - On the lines of 1896 and 19 it lost them. Whenever It hsa revised those lines It has gained them. In spite of all these lessons, are we to continue to accent Mr. Bryan as our only Moses? To take the word and the law solely out of hi" mouth and, under threat of the abandonment of truth, to en act over again the wretched chapter of ac cident and disaster, whilst, with our eyea wide open, we travel the same old road to ruin? Is free silver st the ratio of 16 to 1 the only weapon with which democracy may smite plutocracy? Is populism, socialism, fuslonlsm. the only recourse of the peonle against the money power? And. finally, '.est we be damned, must we fall down and worship Mr. Bryan, with all his manifest limitations and Imperfections, as the great est general, the loftiest statesman and the purest patriot who has adorned American politics since the formation of parties? To our mind, all this seems the vry em bodiment of political blasphemy, the very essence of worldly absurdity, and we re fuse to be party to It.
