with the Pan-Electric scheme of plunder
has materially weakened his inlluanco ,
tuul thorn are other influences operating
to tlio detriment of the democracy. In
llio presidential election the democratic
majority was 0,180 , nnd the democratic
candidate for governor in the last election
had u majority of only 0,105. It ia there'
fora scon that there is not required n
very numerous clmngo of votes to assure
republican success , and ttb the abovi
figures show such a change is not HIV
likely to occur. It is practically coii'
coded that the republicans will get fem

which combined in the last congress ti

operating ia tins. The lirst conferenci
committee appointed has dl.iagreod am

The bill as passed by the house providei
simply for the repeal ol the law
named. When it reached the senate
that body loaded H down with u va
riety of amendments , which th
senators know very well wotil
not meet the approval of the house. Th
senate amendments ) legalize all cntrie
made before the passage of the measur
whore there lias been ti sale of the lam

case of any such claims proved up on o
before Juno 1 , 1830. They also ratify nl
such final proofs no matter what charge

connection with the application for ;

which the house conferees nave vor ;
properly declined to consent repeals th
existing requirement that timber cultun
entry-men , in making final proof inn- ,
show that the ( specified numbci

acre. Other amendments relax th

mcnt ia explanation of the liberal de
feat which most Americana , will vor ;
likely not understand , sinno it refers t"
a system of voting unknown in till
country and which would be iiupnssibl

cites as chief among the reasons of 11 bora

rich men have maity votes while thu pooi
have but ono. " * * "That if i

Jjuriug the Texan war of independence
Alamo , a fort and village opposite Sai
Antonio , Texas , was occupied bj tin
Tc.xans after the surrender of Sm : An
tonio to them by the Mexican genera
Cos. The fort , or fortified vill.iare , cov
cringanarca of about two acres sur
rounded by walls from nine to twelve
feet high and nearly three feet thick , was
garrisoned by a force of 183 volunteer :
and had fourteen small cannons aroum
the walls when , in February , 18IM , Sauts
Anna with a forces of 0,000 men marcher
against it. The Tcxans were commander
by Colonel William Barrett Travis , aneJ
among them were Colonel David Crock
ctt and Colonel James Bowie , of bowie
knife fame. For ten days the Mexican !
kept up an active cannonade on the fort
ami there were frequent skirmishes bj
day and alarms nl night , during \\\\\c\ \ \ \
the garrison did not lose a man. Failing
to make airy impression by the bombard
ment , Santa Anna called a council o ;
war and it was decided to make an as
sault at daybicak on the Cth of March
At the appointed time three divisions ad
vanced to the attack , the bauds
sounding "no quarter. " Ono ol
the attacking parties was re
pulsed , the scconel was checked
but the third scaled the wall , and then be
gan ono of the most sanguinary hand tc
haml conflicts of which history makes
record , ending in the massacre of the entire -
tire garrison , only tx few women anel
children being permitted to leave the
place alive. The Mexican loss was more
than twice the number of those in the
fort. About two months alter , a force ol
about 800 Towns under command of
General Sam Houston met the army of
Santa Anna at San Jacinto , niitl with the
battle cry , now first heard , of "Komem-
ber the Alamo , " routed tlie Mexicans
with great loss and captured their brutal
commander , whose life was spared ,
though justly forfeited. A monument in
the vestibule of tlio state capitol at Aus
tin , Texas , commemorates tlio horoio de
fense and the massacre at Alamo.

while no other county reaches half Hies

Mr. Timme , shoulit imt n stop to the cr ,
for nn increased assessment here.
And why should such a showinir put
stop to tlie demand for nn cquali/.pil as
sesMiient in Omaha and Douglas count
when as n matter of fact there is not ai
aero of ground \yilluu live miles of th
city limits wlileli can be purchased at lei
times that sum ? What has the avurag
assessment of farm lands to do with th
thousands of arre.s laid oul into city lot
within a stone's throw of the city bound
aries , and which the commissioners hav
permitted to bo listed at form lam
prices ? And why for the sake of pulllnj
down our aggregate county assessmen
to a level with other counties west am
south should tlio city of Omaha , which I
nlne-teiUli ! ) of the county of Douglas , be
placed in a false light before llio rest o
the country as a tax-ridden community
The county commissioners cannot scon
to understand that Omaha , which pay
the bulk of all tlm county taxes wldel
they disburse , Is under our piosonl lav
fore-cd to base its city assessments upoi
the county assessors' returns. So far a
these relate to this city they are shame
fully unjust and disproportioncd to thi
actual wealth. What eliu'erenco will ii
make to the average laxpajer who is nov
assessed high enough If tlio just assess
ment of his tax shirking neighbor in
creases the aggregate assessment am
turns a few more dollars into the stati
treasury ? Not n penny's worth. Thi
continued cry that Omaha cannot supper

will not to-day contribute their slian
towards supporting the city and county
It is the same old argument used uverj
year to pull wool over the ojcs of tax
payers who under a fair am
an equitable assessment wouli
not lind their ta.xes iiicrcasei
a dollar over those now obtain
ing. The next legislatuio will probabl ;
bo asked to remedy this abuse by makin ;
provision for a system of city assess
ments uneler a responsible assessor. Un
meantime whilst the poor ami tlm mci
of moderate means are carrying the bur
den of taxation right Here in Doucla
county and the rich and land millionaire
are shliking their taxes by standing ii
with the assessors anel theboarelot equal !

combe about the assessment bcinsr si
low because Douglas county canno
aft'ord lo pay moro'lhan her share to thi

Hurdottej in Brooklyn Kagle : My boy
when you go out a camping , elon'
"rough it" too much. Don't go wlthou

orchard without apples. And don't movi
into a hotel cottage nnd eall it "camp

author and his friends have camped in

true. Wo caught about live weeks ol
rain in tlie month of Juno , but limn tliif
was an unusually rainy .Juno. You had
better tike a tent. There may bo some
moic rare Junes where this one came
Irom.
Uut thup-oat charm of the tent does
not lie in its utility nts an umbrella. It
shows ofl'lo best advantage on a windy
night. That Is Avhy I recommend the
wall tent rather than the "A" or wcdgo
tent. Wo have both varieties In our
camp , but when the winds are boisterous
the wall tent has a few funoy steps that
the "A" tent can never hope to imltiitu.
