The people will not tolerate continued submission to war taxes after twenty-five years of continued peace. ‘There taxes are not continued in force promote the gene: but are mi tained to increase the profits of combinations of particular corporate and individual manu- fidetu he existing tariff system jof the United States casts unnecessary burdens upon all of our countrymen who are eugaged in agriculture, labor, in’ the mechanie arts or in commerce. ‘The system is upheld by the eiforia of monopolies. While these control 0 Prices | of necessary articles in the murkets of the conntry and accumulate enor- mous wealth, they oppress by their combii tions the labor which they employ and maintain their power by the corrupt une of money in fed- eral elections’ ‘These abuses stand tow in full . The only method by which such evils can be corrected is by the election of a President and Congress pledged to a careful and thorough revision tariff system under which such grievances have become possible.

The power of Congress to coin gold and silver ought not to be so exercised that gold coin or silver coin will become a commodity, and so disturb the operations of trade, but in such manner that the dollar in gold coin and the dollar in silver coin shall be of equal exchanguble value inall the markets of the United States. Any attempt to depreciate by legislation either of these metals ought to be deprecated and condemned. HEDREW PERSECUTIONS. 10. The democratic party in this state and in all the states Ras always warmly sympathized with those in other countries to whom the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness is de- nied. We express today a general feeling when we daplore and condemn those events in Rus- sia which have burried into exile so large a body of unoffending men, women and children.

The part taken was worth, in his opinion, $4,000, and will depre- ciate the value of the use of that tract.

Klingle testified that the land of Louis Shoemaker was worth 10 cents per foot and that of Mr. Frank Shoemaker about the same. Cutting off the five acres from the pub- Ue road reduces its value 50 per cent. z ‘On cross-examination witness said be still owned forty acres, having accepted the offer of the park for thirty-one acres. A part of his land, stx or seven acres, is included in the 200, having been condemned in June, 1890, for r acre. He, however, claimed a higher Naluc; but for eortain reasons accepted the award. Mr. Wilson objected to testimony as to the condemnation procecdings. Mr, Perry withdrew the offer. Mr. Klingle continued, testifying that the ive Evans, south of his, sold at an to the z0o—$1,000 per acre. y thore were no sales in Mock Creek valley while the park project was in agitation— for tive years past. Mr. Perry withdrew the testimony as to the price paid for Miss Evans’ land. Mr. Kingle said that the Blagden’s land was worth as much as the Shoemakers'—i0 cents per foot. * Re-direct—He had known of several in- stances where negotiations wereended when the park project was suggested. By Mr. Perry—Mr. Beall bought in 1885 for €350 ‘a piece of property on Woodly Lane road wost of the creek. This was prior to Mr. Klinglo’s purchase of Oak View. Mr. L. P. shi é yy as to fixing €1.500 per acre by saying he referred to a steep ill side along the creek. 10 cenrs a Foor. George W. Linkins, real estate broker, testi- fled that the acre of Mr. Louis Shoemaker was worth 10 cents per foot, and the six acres was worth $2,000 per acre. Cutting off the five acres from the public road depreciated its value. As to Frank Shoemaker's property he said it could be readily subdivided into villa sites and was worth £2,500 per acre. On croas-cxamination witness said he wi willing to give Mr. L. P, Shoemaker 10 cents Rer foot for his property. He based his evi- lence on the sales at Rosemont and in Mount Pleasant and its proximity to the city and de- velopment of that section. James F. Dartt (real estate dealer) valned Mr. Shoemaker's acre at 10 cents per foot and taking this off destroys the value of the ro- ng @ acres. Frank Shoemaker'’s property is worth $2,200 per acre. He would ry 534 cents per foot, expecting to get 10 on subdividing it. Benj. F. Gilbert testified that Frank Shoe- Property was suscoptible of subd sion, and was worth 5 cents per foot. The acre of Mr. L. Shoemaker’s land was worth 10 cents per foot. Cutting off the remainder from the road depreciates it at least 25 per cent. On cross-examination Mr. Gilbert said that ed the higher value on Mr. Louis Shoe- 's because it washigher ground. He had had much to do with Takoma and ft had im- proved the surrounding country, und he knew when Mt, Pleasant property sold for more than property between it and the city. By Mr. Abert—He was acquainted with Mr. Blagden’s property (parcel 74), and it was worth 22,000 0 per acrgy independently of the park. by Mr. Porrs—It would be worth $2,000 if there was no waste.

Second Controller Gilkeson today signed a Band that is not likely to cause any especial Jubilation at the musical end of 8th street southeast. He has come to the conclusion that there is noeuthority in law for the rerating of the band, under which it bas been paid for the past two years, and he therefore afirms the findings of the fourth auditor and orders the old rating to be resumed. He refers to the act of 1861, whi: for the organization of the vat classes of musicians, with rank and pay similar to those of sergeants, corporals and privates of tho ordnance corps of the army. fPrLe Land ‘has no reason to complain, oon- nues the controller, inasmuch aa it has been drawing pay on this basis for the past twenty Years, the change to the new rating being very Fecent, #0 thet this action on the part of the Treasury Department merely places the musicians back the law placed twenty years ago. = ss om NO REFUXDING TO RE ASKED.

The kea,or mountain parrot, of New Zealand, & greenish-brown bird, formerly as harmless as oibers of his ciass, has developed carnivorous habit as fastidious ns thiat of epicures. It used to feed on the berries that grew luxuriantly on the hills, but it has changed that simple diet since tho multiplication of sheep; perhaps fires, too, made that natural food searce. It now takes a terrible revenge on its uncon- sojous enemy. Fastening itself on the back of a poor sheep, perhaps stuck in a snowdrift, and savagely tearing away wool, skin and. lech, it plunges its powerful beak into the kidney fat, which it devours, and then, leaving one vie~ tim to die in agony, goce off in search of an- other. ‘Though it is as difficult to feel individual af- fection for sheep where they are slaughtered by millions as it would be to care for hogs in CI cago, the most unsentimental she can- not refrain from pitying one of his own flock that he finds in such a condition, and from in- voking maledictions on the whole rave of keas.
