Thayer «ounty has at last struck
coal. 280 feet under ground and a
vein 8 feet thick is the latest reports
and it is located near Gilead. Who
sajs there is no halm in Gilead.
Senator DeiMieh is now on the
hroad Pacific bound for the Philip
pines, taking an outing at the ex
pense of his Uncle Samuel. It re
mains to be seen whither Uncle
will get value received for the ex
penditure.
The next Republican state conven
tion will be the largest in point of
delegates ever assembled in this
state. It is hoped that their wisdom
will he as gigantic as their numbers,
and that superanuated politicians
and political soreheads will not be al
lowed to prostitute the future of the
party by filling the ship with dry
bones. New blood is demanded
and siuoe the good start of last fall
the party must continue to inject it
if it would succeed in the future.
England has a large amount of
brotherly effection for Brother John
athan and has had ever since Bunker
Hill, Saratoga, Jamestown etc. She
Jnves us and she loves our territory,
which is proven by her great desire
to push her tlag a little further to
•ward the Pacific ocean up iu Alaska
cvery-once-in-a-while. The last at
tempt was checkmated by a Yankee
Sawyer, who pulled down the British
flag atSkaguay, throwing it back to
cbarge-de-atiairs Busby, and hand
ed him his card, which gave the
Englishman ample notice who he
was uod where be could be found.
We don’t want any more than what
belongs to us, frit we have iiad to
trounce John Bull twice to get that,
and if it must be done we can make
it three just as well as not.
Tbe Omaha Bee, us usual, is after
the tux shirkers, the assessors and
the boards of equalization of the
cities of Omaha, South Omaha aud
Douglas euunty. The way he shows
them up forceably reminds one ot
the iniquities existing in our system
of tax levying, and proves that the
man of moderate means, if he is an
equitable man, is always in the soup
when it comes to bearing the burden
of government. It has become no
torious that tbe man of wealth and
gaul, and they generally are syn
onymous terms, escapes h>s just
proportion of taxes, not only in
Omaha and other large places but
down to tbe smallest municipality.
Like Omaha there is never an audi
ble word as far as the manipulations
are concerned, but the man who
gives the masses justice when as
sessing or equalizing, and does not
discriminate in favor of the tax
shirker, is of short political life. The
Lee claims that a raise of $2,000,
000 on the assessments of the cor
porations in and around Omaha,
would not have been out of tbe way.
and that such a raise was promised
■by tbe board of equalization. Then
it was hinted by the boaid that the
iratse would be at least one million,
and after bolding a star chamber
.session in which no outsiders were
■ admitted. (?) When the result of
i*this meeting was made known it was
discovered that the contemplated
rise had dwindled to $150,000, and
the little fellow must continue to
pay an unequitable portion of taxes.
Tbe average man pays too little at
tention to the assessed valuation of
those around him, and ofteu he
wakes up after years and finds out
thaf his neighbor has never borne Ins
actual share of the burden, and Die
reason was be had some political in
fluence that would mili'ate toward
keeping tlie old assessor in his place.
Duty without favor should he the
requisite priuctple of the man who
is elected assessor, and if the mass
es expect justice and an equitable
taxation they must stand by the
man who gives them a square deal,
and always remember, that the tax
shirker will loose no chance to be
little tiie assessor he can't control.

EL KENO, Ok. July 7, ul
1*RIEND GEORGE:—1 suppose
you will lie surprised to receive a
letter from me but allow me to say
that my intentions were good, 1
have Ueu very busy this spring. 1
have only had two Sundavsotr since
the first of April. I have beeo put
ting in ballast all spring and 1 now
have about ten thousand feet of new
side track to put in including six
switches. So you see with makiug out
a dad v, a weekly and a monthly report
1 have my hands full. I have work
ed ten men all spring and now L have
orders to nut on all the men I can
get. A foreman down here is not
paid for what work he does but for
the knowledge he has of the work. I
am not expected to do any work only
see that it is done and done right,
anil so far I seem to have given good
satisfaction. We have one of the
finest countiies here you ever set
ey es upon. We can sit at home and
see a tram lor 15 miles both on the
Choctaw and ltock Island roads.
Oar town is about 8,00''. We have
good schools, a business college and
eyery thing that it takes to make
a good town. The country is one
solid wheat field and it is averaging
about 25 bushels to the acre, and the
quality is good, testing from 03 to
0G pounds per bushel. Prices run
50 to 55 cents. The weather here in
my estimation is not so warm as it
is in Nebraska, and the nights are
coo!. Von can sleep with a cover
over you, and as for storms, l am
happy to iuform you that so far we
have not seen an angry looking
cloud. So you can see that I have
every reason to like the country well,
which I do. I was surprised when 1
first heard that Chat ley had gone to
the navy, but was really proud of
his choice. I hope he will like it.
I can see jy your paper he writes
you some very ntee letters. Send
him uiy best wishes. Please re
member me to all inquiring friends,
and just tell them that I am the
same old Joe.—Good bye for the
present.
Joseph McCoy.
