jot escape the eye of the vigilant assessor.
uhe Inequalities In the valuation of property
nre lee glaring not to bo noticed , nnd the evil
filiould bo remedied. The law should bo
equal In nil Its bearings alike ui > on tlio iwor
nnd the rich. Whnt is the objection to rat
ing all property , rcnl and personal , nccordlng
to n fair cash vnluo and rcipjlrlntt the own
ers la give n list of Ihclr property under
Oixfli ! The levy would then be mndo uixm
nil alike nnd would bo nt n very low rate.
Or you can , If In your wisdom It seem best ,
provide. by law that only onc-
linlf of It shall bo subject to
taxation. But whatever notion you take , I
respectfully urge that it snail result In re
moving the Inequalities nnd the injustice in
dicted under our present system of assess
ment nnd taxation. In my Inaugural ad
dress two years ago 1 said : "Let nil taxable
property , real und personal , bo npimilsod at
its full , fair , actual value. ' I again urge
this with renewed emphasis.
T\XATION Ol'COIlI'OIUTIO.VS.
All parties , whether citizens or corpora
tion ! ) , must boar their equal proportion of
the expenses of Iho government. Parlies
.holding mortgages , bonds , certificates of
Htock , etc. , should bo taxed. Corporations
of every description , whether 'railroads , ex-
.press companies , cnr companies , common
cnrrlcis of every description , Investment ,
companies , loan companies or corporations of
whatever designation , must bo governed by
nnd subject to the same rules nud regula
tions and requirements which nrc applied to
private citizens. This rule should bo in-
cxonernblein regard to them.
Till ! OMAHA 1'OI.K'K COMMISSION.
A provision was inseiled In the Omaha
charter at the last session of the legislature
which Imposed Iho duty upon the governor
of appointing foitr commissioners of IIro nnd
police , two to bo selected from each of the
two great political parties , understanding
from this clause , Hint Iho commission
nnd ll.e police department of that city shall
bu non-partisan ,
I selected four gentlemen , Iwo well-known
democrats and two well-known republicans ,
Hot on account of their noisy activity
in partisan politics , nor ns n reward for nny
particular service that they had rendered
their respective parties , but from their well-
known probity nnd uprightness of character ,
nnd whose reputation during Ihclr long residence
dence- there was such thai it would Inspire
the people with the fullest confidence in their
administration.
I'Yom the moment that they entered upon
the duties of their olllees they were con
fronted by a violent opposition from Iho worst
elements of that city , and from the city
"council. Various obstacles were thrown
in their way to prevent the execution of
their duties : the compensation for their ser
vices wns denied them , nnd the pay of Iho
policemen appointed by them wus also re-
jnscd. It wus n long nnd bitter struggle as
lo whether Iho law should be enforced or
I he control of the city bo turned over to the
lawless and the vicious. Tl.c constitution
ality of the provision requiring Iho governor
to appoint these commissioners was raised
before the supreme court , nnd it was sus
tained by that tribunal. During
the continuance of the slrugglc
to which allusion has been nuulo the com
missioners and Iho mayor persevered \ Iho
execution of Iho law with a determination
nnd firmness which deserves great com
mendation. As a result they have the satis
faction of having given to Om.iha by far thu
best nnd most eflloicnt police force and po
lice government which the city has ever had ,
nnd which possesses ttmconlidcncc of all the
decent elements of society.

Hlgld economy must bo observed In nil dis
burscmeiiLs of the public funds , and appro
priations should bo made only with a due re
gard to the public Interests. In considering
applications for un increase of force
in the different departments nnd the
estimates for appropriations for the ensuing
two years , the largo Increase of business
must bo taken into account. It must bo
borne In mind that the population , of No-
braskn has doubled In six to eight years.
What was sufticlont four years ago
is not sufficient to day. The doub
ling up of population doubles the
demands for benevolent , charitable , indus
trial and reformatory Institutions , Those
must be established. They belong to our
advancing civilization.
Gentlemen , I cherish the hope nnd fnilh
that your labors during the present session
will promote thu public Interests nnd advance

Nr.\v You ic , Jan. 3. fSpccinl Telegram
to Tin : BiH. ! ] The theme of conversation
in sporting circles to-day was the report that
the differences between Charlie Mitchell nnd
Hichard K , Fox , backer of Jake Ivllraln , had
culminated in nn open rupture ; that while
in St. Louis Mitchell had declared himself
antagonistic to Fox. Ever sincojtho fight In
Franco between Kllraln nnd Jem Smith ,
there has been n difference between Jake
and his backer. This was duo to Mitchell
having greater inllucnco over Kllraln
than that possessed by Fox , re
sulting not only in Fox's dissatis
faction with Jake on several occasions ,
but also in great financial outlay. Although
Fox is nver.se to saying anything regarding
the matter for publication , yet he has tola
some of his Intimate friends that the Kll-
raln-Sniith light had cost him "a world of
money , " some saying his output was ns
much us $ 1,000. This , it is said , was what
caused Fox to bo averse to backing Jake
against John L. , he arguing that if u fight
for $5,000 cost { 23,000 , one for * 10,000 would
cost $ lli,000 , and it was moro than he
chose to expend. What Fox's views on the
subject are may bo easily determined
by the words of Jim ICecnan , who is very
close to Juke's former backer , acting as his
reurescntativo in malting matches.
Kecnan , when asked if ho was interested
in ICilrain's stake , said : "Not u nickel. I'll
bet on Jake when ho fights , but 1 want noth
ing in the main stake. ICilrain has been a
costly customer to the man who backed him.
What do you think of putting ? 3,000out on a
man in one year , and then have him cable
for $1,000 to come homo on } "
Under the circumstances it now seems that
the proposed match between John L. and
Kllrain will not bo made. ICilrain is ex
pected hero in n few days und may make
some other terms , so that the meeting with
the Boston boy may bo arranged. His part
ner. Mitchell , will , it is said , leave for Eng
land within thrco weeks , unless the Califor
nia Athletio club agrees to give a purse of
$3,000 for Jake and Peter Jackson , who re
cently whipped Joe McAuliffe. This is looked
upon as an indication that Mitchell has con
cluded that tno proposed match between
Kllrain and Sullivan will not bo made ,
owing to Jake's inability to command
backing.
_ _ _
ICilrain Willing to Fi ht.
NEW Youic , Jan. 3. The following dis
patch was received by Hichard 1C. Fox this
morning from St. Louis :
"ICilrain will sign articles to fight John L.
Sullivan for SCO.OOO nnd the championship of
the world at , either Toronto , Ottawa or
Montreal. Both Mitchell and ICilrain em
phatically deny that they have any misun
derstanding with Hichnrd 1C. Fox. "
Would Not Itovcnl His Confederate.
ST. Louis , Jan. 3. Detective Haas , of
Chicago , arrived this morning with requisi
tion prpers for Thomas Vf. Vines , who came
hero nftor robbing Adams & Wostlakc , of
Chicago , of over $ -1,000. William Mangier ,
manager ot the city department of the firm ,
came down with Haas. Uoth proceeded to
tlio office of the chief of police , whore the
money taken from Vines was turned over to
them , which was found to bo $1-0 short.
When they asked Vines about the shortage
ho said ho paid SJOO to his confederate and
the balance went , for incidental expenses.
Who his confederate was ho would not
rovoal.
Governor Jjiico Inaugurated.
LANSINO , Mich. , Jan. 8. Governor Luce
was inaugurated at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
A considerable portion of the governor's an
nual address was devoted to the temperance
question. Upon this subject , ho says in part :
"Believing the sentiment of a largo portion
of the state Is ripe and ready for it , I com-
moml to your consideration the passage of a
local' option law , if ono can bo devised free
from constitutional objections. If our con
stitution prohibits us from securing un
oflicient law tor localities , it does not prohibit
a general law , and If wo are doaiod other op
portunities no doubt In the future this course
will bo resorted to , "

THE "Q" STRIKE : .
Both Sides Now Admit That the
Trouble U Settled.
CIIICA.OO , Jan. 3. This evening , for the
first time , the "Q" strike was admitted by
both parties to the controversy to bo prac
tically settled. The conference to-day be
tween the ofllclals of the road and the com
mittee of nine resulted in an amicable agree
ment on nearly all the points at Issue , nnd it
is confidently expected a complete under
standing will bo reached to-morrow morning.
The only hitch In the arrangements for end
ing the strike was on ono of the minor do-
"tnands of the committee , which the ofllclals
did not feel Justified in granting without flrst
consulting with President Perkins , nnd
the directors of the company in Bos
ton. They requested time , tnoreforo , to
exchange telegrams with the Boston
ofileo , and they have no doubt that full au
thority will bo received to accept any propoj
aition of the committee that Is fair and
reasonable. When the committee of nine
called at the general oiilces of the Burling
ton this inornlnc1 , VIce Presidents Stone uud
Peasloywero waiting ndviccs from Boston ,
nnd asked that the conference be delayed
until 3 o'clock in the nfternoon. Chairman
Cavcnor readily consented to this , and at the
hour named he and his associates returned
nnd were received. They were in session
from 3 o'clock until twenty minutes
past 5 , when they encountered nn ob
stacle in a point which tno Burlington
pcopla had. overlooked , and were not prepared
to meet without further advices from the
eastern headquarters. It was then decided
to adjourn until 10:80 : a. in. to-morrow , f lie
faces of the committees and Burlington olll-
cials were wreathed with smiles when they
parted for the night.
Tlmos will say : "It is understood that by
the terms of the agreement , the old
'Q' engineers will bo placed ngain
upon a square footing , instead
of bolnir blacklisted by nearly
all the railroads in the country. The Bur
lington road will Bet the example by giving
the strikers employment in preference to
others whenever vacancies occur , nnd by
burying completely out of sight , the hatchet
which was dug up ten months ago. "

Tun Bun ot yesterday published a special
telegram from St. Louis in which it was
stated that the Itichardson Drug company
which wns burned out Tuesday morning , had
a meeting and decided to discontinue their
St. Louis establishment and transfer thu
business , or a largo portion of it , to Meyer
Bros. & Co. It nlso stated that tlie Oninlm
house would bo continued for the
present , nt least. The information upon
which this telegram was based seems
to have been unfounded. This assertion is
predicted upon the auhtority of the manage
ment of the Omaha house , who say that ,
owing to the advanced years of Mr. Richardson -
son , ot St. Louts , the senior member of the
well known firm , the house in that city will
not be re-established. The Omaha house
has been made the leading ono of the linn
nnd all ttio business of the latter will bu
transacted here. In accordance with this
determination , the homo management will
make immediate arrangement for the care of
the business and will place fourteen travel
ing men on the road with headquarters nt
this place. This will ho a welcome piece of
news to the mercantile world ot this section
nnd an accession to Omaha which cannot do
otherwise than nud to her commercial Im

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

Consideration of the Tariff Bill Bo-

Honnte.
W.isnixoTOs" , Jnu. 3. A resolution hereto
fore offered by Mr. Voorhees , calling on the
secretary of the Interior for a list of nil
1101110310.111 , Umber culture nnd pre-emption
entries to public lands cancelled after issu-
mice of flnnl receipt nnd certificate thorofor ,
during the present administration , for causes
other -than voluntary rcllntiulshmcnl , was
taken up nnd agreed to.
The senate then resumed consideration of
the tariff bill , the pending question being
Mr. Vest's amendment to change the duty on
cotton thread , yarn warps , etc. The amend
ment was rejected by the usual party vote.
Mr. Vest called attention to other Items In
paragraph 31 ! ) , but said ho would not offer
any amendment or asic n yea nnd nay vote
upon them ; but ho would simply romaru that
the duty on those Items was Increased
In order to exclude nil foreign competition ns
fur us possible , so ns to enable American
manufacturers to hold the market nt what
ever price they saw lit to impose. Ho moved ,
however , to amend paragraph 31-4 , relating to
thread of cotton ' -70
spool , by striking qut70
per cent per dozen spools" nnd inserting 40
per cent ndvulorem. Ho quoted from the
statement made by spool cotton innnufnc-
lurlrs before the tariff commission In tSS'J ,
nnd before the ways and means committee In
ISS-I , to show that they asicud u less ram of
protection in 1SS4 tlinn in 1SS2.
After n lengthy discussion the amendment
was rejected yeas 18 , nnya 21.
No further amendment was offered to par
agraph 31 1. nor was any offered to paragraphs
315 , ; il > or ill" , all relating to cotton cloth.
Mr. Vancu moved two amendments to par
agraph 31S nnd ono on IHO , both of which
wore rejected.
Mr. Pugh proceeded to address the senate
in n set speech on the tariff. In concluding
his remarks ho reverted to the question of
race supremacy in the south , and said as to
that there could bo no concession or no com
promise amonc the white people. Whoever
was u friend of the white race In regard to
supremacy in government was his friend ir
respective of politics , and whoever was an
enemy of the white race on the question in
volving race supremacy was his enemy. The
fidelity of white men to o.ich other on the
race question has been unfaltering , and is
bound to prove Itself in action on the side of
maintaining the actual supremacy of the
white race In the possession ami exercise of
all governmental powers. Such fidelity of
the white men to each other in the southern
states for such purpocos had been estab
lished under the dire necessity of self-pres
ervation. and white men everywhere might
rest assured that no allurements of ofilce and
no difference as to tariff laws could over de
grade them to the recognition of negro
equality.
Mr. Vnnco moved to amend paragraph 320 ,
relating to stockings , by reducing the rate
from H5 to 30 per cent ad valorem , and asked
for the yeas and nays.
Mr. Aldrich pleaded to Vauco not to de
mand the yeas and nays , as there was prob
ably no quorum present , and ho wished to
get through the cotton schedule to-day , but
Mr. Vance would not consent , as he did not
want the schedule ilmslied to-day.
The senate then , having disposed of three
and ono-half pages of bill to-day , adjourned.
House.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 3. Mr. Reed of Maine ,
from the committee on rules , reported a reso
lution providing that during the remainder
of the present session of congress , there shall
IKS a call of states and territories on the flrst
and third Mondays of each month. These
Mondays arc what are known as suspension
days , and the object of the resolution
is to prevent the opponents of
the Union Pacific funding measure
and Oklahoma bill from filibustering
against the attempt to pass these measures
under suspension of rules , introducing vol-
umnious bills under call of states , nnd con
suming the day by the demand for their
reading In full. Mr. Ileed demanded the
previous question on the adoption of the resolution
elution , which called forth a vigorous pro
test from Mr. Anderson of Kansas , who has
been the chief antagonist of the Union Pa
cific bill. Mr. Anderson demanded the yeas
and nays on ordering the previous question ,
when no quorum voted. A call of the house
was then ordered. The called showed the
presence of 171 members , being "eight moro
than a quorum , but the margin was too nar
row a ono and proceedings under the call
were not sustained. The sergeant at arms
was dispatched to hunt up and arrest absen
tees and the house drowsily waited for him to
make a report. As this was not forthcom
ing by 3 o'clock the house adjourned.
Land Ijnw Reform
WASHINGTON , Jan. 3. The house commit
tee on publicjands to-day took action on the
semite bill relating to public lands , by means
of which it Is hoped the legislation at this
session of congress will greatly modify the
publlo land policy of the government. The
house passed during the last session a bill re
pealing the pre-emption and timber culture ,
and otherwise amending the land laws , but
no action has been taken on the measure by
the senate. In order to facilitate the passage
of the essential features of this general land
bill , the house committed to-day took up the
bill passed by the senat3 in December , pro
viding that the public lands of the United
States now subject to private entry , shall bo
disposed of under the homestead laws only ,
After making numerous amendments to
the bid , Holman was instructed to report it
to the house and ask its early consideration.
It Is the purpose of the commlttoo in this
Way to endeavor to throw the proposed land
reform legislation into the hands of n con
ference committee of the house and senate to
secure , if possible , the substantial changes
desired to be effected In our land laws. The
bill agreed upon by the committee to-day
provides that public hinds chiclly valuable
for agriculture or subject to private entries ,
shall bo disposed of under the homestead
law only , ana that the pre-emption laws shall
bo repealed. Persons who have made pre
emption or homestead entry of the
land , but have not forfectcd title
thereto , are given the right to make
another homestead entry. Whenever a
settler upon the public domain Is unable , on
account of destruction of crops , slukncas or
other unavoidable cause , to secure support
from the land located upon , the local land
officers may grant a leave ot absence from
the claim to the settler for not exceeding ono
year. Homestead settlers who liavu made
entry tj > less than one-quarter section ot
land , are given the privilege of making
another entry , the aggregate quality under
entries not to exceed 180 acres.

Chauncoy M. Dopow hobbles when ho
walks in Broadway , Now York , says the
St. Paul Globe. Ills foot and ankle ure
still heavily incased , so that they may
got into peed shape again. Dopow
stuck his log inlo a hole in Iho floor of
his house , whore a plumber had care
lessly loft his work , and the dislocation
at the ankle had proved moro bother
some than a clean brenlc would
have boon. As Mr. Dopow stood chat
ting in front of a hotel n dolapidated
man accosted him. The stranger
looked like a broken down * bummer ,
and his clothes were sadly bedraggled ,
but ho was readily distinguished as not
a tramp but as an example of tlio for
lorn chap who had seen bettor days.
He called Dopow by name and was evi
dently an old acquaintance , but ho nev
ertheless had the abject air of a beggar
as ho asked for a temporary loan.
"This is my lust spree , positively , "
ho said. ' ! have sworn oil for good
this time. Let mo hityo $1 to buy pomo-
thing to eat and I will bo all straight
ened up in a day or two.1
While Hpctilung ho held one hand
over his mouth , after the manner com
mon enough lo supplicants who are
ashamed of themselves , but ho was so
careful about it that the action oxcilad
curiosity. The explanation came.
" 1'awncd ihem again , ohV said
Dopow , as he gave the $1 to his unfortu

"Had to do it , " wns the reply as the
follow shambled away.
"I have known that man twenty

capabla , well-behaved follow most of the

becomes the unsightly bummer that you

bauches ho will spend every cent Unit ho
can obtain , and finally , as ii last and in

ANOTHER SENATORIAL PILGRIM.
Mr. Plumb , of Knnaai , 1'nyn n Visit
to Indianapolis lit ) Knvm-s nn
ICxtra SesHlon of
IvniAvvroi.ts , Jan. ! V The chief interest
hero to-day centered in the visit of Sonntor
Iliscock , who urrlvcd from Washington at
1230 ; , nnd drove direct to the resldonoo of
the president-elect , arriving about t o'clock ,
Just In lime to partnke ot a noonday meal.
Luncheon over , the general nnd guoU re
paired to the library , where they remained
closeted togclhor in enrnest conversation
until n quarter past U , when the senator look
his leave. No third p.xrty was present dur
ing the long conference , therefore no one is
nblo to state positively what passed betweeir
thorn , unless ono or IMo other chooses to di
vulge It. General Harrison talked frnoly
of the visit to an Associated Press
correspondent this evening , but said nothing
not already known , Inquiring Inadvertantly
whether the correspondents succeeded In In
terviewing the senator. Their efforts In this ,
direction were zealous enough , but almost
barren of results , as the senator , whopo car
riage never left the door during his long con
ference , drove rapidly to the depot. Ar
rived there ho hud to pass a cordon of re
porters who lay in wait. To their numerous
inquiries he simply said : "Gentlemen , my
visit wns aivuneventful one , both politically
nnd personally. " These nro the words thrco
of the correspondents present attribute
to him , They agree that the distinguished
gentleman was apparently in n disgruntled
state of mind , either real or nshumed. Ho
boarded the train for Cleveland. Ills ap
parent ill-humor , which is not chronic with
him , whoneonsldi'ied in connection with the
genial , complacent frame ot mind In which
the writer discovered General Harrison , only
an hour or so later , Is more significant than
the words nttribulcd lo the big senator.
After a long day's conference with several
distinguished men , it would seem but natural
that General Harrison should show signs of
fatigue and absence of his usual urbanity ,
but on the contrary ho was without
sign of worry or dissatisfaction. A good
many of General Harrison's close friends be-
licvo the cabinet is about finished , and U
these incidents nro ot any interest or value
they would seem to strengthen this view of
the situation.
But the day brought another senatorial
pilgrim in the person of Preston B. Plumb ,
of Kansas , who arrived this morning from
the went. His conference with General Harrison
risen was less than nn hour and ho left nt 3
o'clock for Washington. In nn interview
Senator Plumb said ho merely stopped over
to have n general talk with the president
elect. Ho was not pressing nny name for a
cabinet position. Kansas had no candidate.
Ho wus in favor of an extra ses
sion of congress and believed tla
party and public necessity " would
induce President Harrison to call congress
together. Ho was in favor of a vigorous
and early Invcstlgalion of the colored vote
In the south. Ho thought Blnlne would sit
at the head of the now cabinet.
Another visitor of prominence was Hon.
Moses W. Field , of Detroit. If Ho cumo
here with a special objecl ho kept it to him
self. Ho talked freely , however , and said
among other things ho had no doubt that
General Alger would comprise ono of Presi
dent Harrison's cabinet. Ho wns equally
positive in his opinion that Ululno would bo
secretary of stale.
Among olhor visllors was Hon. H. A.
Hawkins , of Tennessee , Into defeated
republican candidate for governor of that
state. Ho wont into the southern sllunllon
nt considerable length in talking with the
prcsident-clccl , nnd is slennously In favor ot
an extra session of congress nnd n speedy In
vestigation of what he terms the "outrage"
perpetrated upon republican voters In Ten
nessee nnd other states at the Jaio election.
Ho says the fraudulent count ot
votes of six of the counties where
the black population is largest
caused his defeat. The county officers in
stead of selecting the election judges and inspectors
specters from the two great parties , appoint
ed none but democrats. What the republi
cans of the south particularly want , says
Hawkins , Is n nnllonal election law that will
take the presidential and congressional elec
tion machinery entirely out of tlio hands of
stnlo legislatures. Ho will not state whnt ,
if any , views Goncr.il Harrison expressed on
tlio subject.
Unanimously Condemned.
SALT LAKH Crrr , Jan. a. ( Special Tele
gram lo TUB BUK.J Much indignation Is felt
utnong all classes of citizens of Iddho nt
Cleveland's pardon of live Mormons. The
Associated Press despatch from Washington
stated that four were convicted of unlawful
cohabitation , nnd ono of udullory. This Is
incorrect. The truth is nil five were con-
