OUR ASSESSMENT. Tnr assessment in this city end county has been an outrageous fraud and impo- sition for years. It has been ridiculously low, and as a consequence the taxes have been apparently high. People make a mistake when they think that a low assossment is a benefit. When a stranger 18 told that our assessment 1s very low, he asks how much our taxes are, and when informed that they are about b per oent, it strikes him that they enormously high. Now, if the valustion of property was a nywhere near its actual value, or even one-half of its value, our taxes would mot be over 2 per cent. What we want, and what the Ber has boen demanding for years, is s fair valustion of property and an i mpartial assessment. Under the present system the rich man escapes paying a large pro- portion of his taxes, and the poor man is the one who really bears the burden of taxation. We had hoped to see a reform in the assessment this year, but we have been disappointed. The returns made by the assessors show that they have not raised the assessment this year over $300,- 000 above the asseasment of 1883, No sane man will for one moment believethat the value of property in Omaha has not increased during the past fourteen years. Everybody knows that business property has increased in value from one hundred to five hundred percent, and that a great deal of outside real estate has advanced ten-fold. Yet we find the aggregate as- sessment at about the same figures that it was in 1870. The other day the Solomon property, on Farnam stroet, was sold for $20,000, and E. B. Callahan sold his property on the same street for $15,000. We venture to say that the assessed valu- ation on either of these properties is not over $2,000 or $3,000. But it is in the additions to the city that the biggest frauds are found. Lots which are selling at 8500 are assessed at $25 or $50. Itis high time for a reform in the matter of assessment, and the Bk proposes to con- tinue its efforts in this direction. If we cannot get it through the assessors we we will get it through a revision of the laws at She next session of the legislature next winter. THE SWAIM COURT MARTIAL, The cburt-martial of Judge Advocate General Swaim will be held in Washing- ton some time during the present month. On account of the high rank and hitherto excellent reputation of the accused, and by reason of the fact that the court will be compoged of officers of equal or supe- rior rank, the trial will attract more than ordinary attention. * General Swaim's rank is fhat of brigadier-general, and hence no officer below that rank can, under the army regvlation, serve on the court-martal. General Hancock will probably a & as president of the court. The g of the court-martial is the result of /the court]of inquiry which found that the evidence against General fwaim warranted a trial. It appears from the evidence that a Wash- ington broker, named Bateman, received from General Swaim $5,000 on deposit, for which a due bill was given to Swaim, who, in the course of time, checked out the whole amount, and then brought suit to recover on the due bill. General Swaim also induced Bateman to advance money toColonel Morrow on his duplica pay account, Swaim, as it is charged, did this knowing that Morrow’s pay accounta had been duplicated. Bateman, in order to make himself whole, made charges it the war department against Swaim, but owing to promises of settlement of the matter, soon after withdrew them, giving us his reason therefor that he had induced Swaim to have the matter arbi- trated. rhis course of procedure, how- ever, did not meet the views of Secre- tary-of-War Lincoln, who determined that, as'the charges had been made pub- licand had caused a scandal upon the army, the affair could not be dropped in any such way. Secretary Lincoln accord- ly summoned a court of Inquiry, consist- of Gienerals Pope, Augur and Sacket, and Major Scott, who reported evidence show- ing very discreditable and dishonest transactions on the part of Swaim. The probability is that General Swaim will be convicted, His trial will be followed by that of Col, Morrow, who is charged with obtaining money on duplicate pay ac- counts, and he, too, will verv likely be convicted. These convictions, no doubt, other runstroke, why, it would be President Logan. As woon as Mr. Tilden heard that Batler had received the greenback nomination he withdrew from the game.

The Presidential Candidate's Life in Philadelphia as a Teacher—A Remarkable Example ot Mis Industry. Philadelphia Press, ‘,Yes, I remember young James G. Blaine distinctly,” said William Chapin, principal of the Pennsylvania institution for the instruction of the blind, yester- day. *‘He was principal teacher here on the boys’ side for two years, and when he departed he luft behind him not only universal regret at a serious loss to the institution, but an impression of his per- sonal force upon the workand its methods which tsuryives the lapse of twenty years,” The Pennsylvania institution for the instruction of the blind, at Twentieth and Race streets, is the second place in which Mr. Blaine taught after his pradu- ation from Washington College. He rang the bell at the front door of the building one summer afternoon in 1852, in answer to an advertisement for a teacher. “There were thirty or forty applicants,” said Mr. Chapin, *‘but his manner was 80 winning and he possessed 80 many manifestly valublo qualities that I closed an engagement with him at once. He was marricd, and his wife and little son Walker came here with him, His qualities which impressed me most deep- ly were his culture, the thoroughness of his education, and his unfailing self- ossession. He was alzo a man of very s‘ec“ldcd will, ana was very much dis- posed to argument. He was young then—only 22—and was rather impulsive, leaping to a conclusion very quickly. But he was always ready to defend his conclusions, however suddenly he seemed to have reached them, We had many a familiar discussion in this very rrom, and his arguments always astonished me by the knowledge they displayed of facts in history and politics, ~ His memory was remarkable, and seemed to re- tain details which ordinary men would forgst. 4 ¢ Now, I will show you something that illustrates how thoroughly Mr. Blaine mastered anything he took fold of,” said Mr. Chapin, as he took irom a desk in the corner of the room a thick quarto manuscript-book, bound in dark, brown leather, and lettered ‘‘Journal” on the corner. *‘This book Mr. Blaine com- plied with great labor from the minute- books of the board of managers. It givesa historical view of the institution from the time of its foundation up to the tims of Mr. Blaine's departure. He did all the work in his own room, telling no one of it until he left. Then he present- ed it, through me, to the board of mana- gers, who were both surprised and grati- tied. I believe they mado him a present of $100 as a thank-offering for an inval- uable work.” Iudeed, this book, the first historical work of Mr. Blaine, is a model of its kind, On the titlepage, in ornamental Peon-work, executed at that time by Mr. Chapin, is the inscription: JOURNAL of the for the INSTRUCTION OF iR BLIND, He is altogether too |esch will have a salutary effect upon such army officers as are inclined to be in any way dishonest. There certainly has been, of late years, a great deal of dlshonesty among army ofticers, particularly in the matter of duplicating their pay accounts and making fraudulent vouchers.

Francis Fisher, " Fi this page to the 188th, in which is the Iset entry mado by Mr. Blaine, every line is & model of neatuess and acuracy. On every page is & wide margin, At the top of the margin is the year, in ornamental figures. Below it is a brief statement of what the text contains oppo- site that portion of the marginal entry, Every year's record closes with an elabo- rate table, giving the attendance of mem- bers of the board, The last pages of the book are filled with alphabetical list of officers of the institution and statistical tables, compiled by the same patient and untiring hand. One of the lists is that of the *‘princips! teachers.” No. 13 followed by the signature, * Blaine, from August b, 18562, then, other hand, the record is com- the date Novewber 23, 1854, “1 recal! ono incidrnt,” Mr, Chapin continued, “‘which indicates r Blaine's mode of discipline, and shows, too, that he was in those days somewhat impulsive, Tt was one of his duties to take charge of the boys at breakfast, and gometimes there would be a fow lazy Iag- gards. One morning a whola room-full of boys, five or six of them, failed to ap- pear. Mr. Blaine quietly walked up- stairs and locked them in, The boys had ascrow-driver and they unfastened the lock; but by the time they reached the breakfast. room the tables had been cleared. ‘You can have no breakfast,’ was the teacher’s annougcement. The boys thereupon declared that they wouldn't go into Mr. Blaines classcs. He reported them to me. Altho gh I thought it perhaps a little severo to de- prive them of breakfast, I fel obliged to sustain Mr. Blaine, and told them to go to thhelr class-rooms as usual. They still refused and 1 suspended them for tho day. The next day they. rose in time to breakfast, attanded classes, and the little rebellion was over. “Mr. Blaine taught mathematics, in which he excelled, and the higher branch- es, His wife was universally beloved, and often read aloud to the pupils. When he went away to become editor of the Kennebee Journal we felt that we had lost a man of large parts and we have watched his upward carcer with great in- terest. Yes, mmieed, we'reall for Blaine here, He has called here a number of times when he stojped in the city on his way to and from Washington, The inst time he was here he heard with great in- terest of the progress of D. D, Wood, the blind organist at St. Stephen’s Church, who was ono cf his pupils, and recailed Mr. Wood’s proficiency in math- i | ematica.” Three perscns now holding positions in ttheinstitution, Michael M. Williams, William McMillan, and Miss Maria Cor- many, were pupils under Mrc. Blaine. Mr. Williams said yesterday: ‘Every- bodi loved Mce. Blaine and his wife. Both were always ready to do anything for our amusement in leisure hours, and we had g great deal of fun, into which they entered heartily. I think that Mrs. Blaine read nearly all of Dicken's works aloud to us; and Mr. Blaine used to make us roar with laughter by reading out of a work entitled ‘Charcoal Sketch- es.’” Mr, Williamy led the visitor to a large room at the right to the build- ing, seperated by folding-doors from an- other room, aud added: In the even- and sit there under the gaslight, reading aloud to both the boys and girls,. Then we would wind up with a spelling-bee. Sometimes Mr. Blaine would give out the words and sometimes one of the "hig boys would do it, while Mr. Blaine stood up among the boys. Then we would have great fun trying to ‘‘spell the teach- er down.’ " ‘Would Not Buy the Watch. Atlanta Constitution.
