UNEQUAL ASSESSMENT KICKS, The Victims Must Seek Relief in Conrt—Finlshing the Government Building-The City Council— Personal Paragraphs, Trying Thieves. The civil cases which had been set for trial were none of them ready for hearing 3 nd the distriet court had to busy itself with other matters. Two criminal cases were tried, both for burglary. One was that of Willinm Hughes, charged with breaking into Goldberg’s store. Some of the goods were found upon him, and he could make no very satisfactory explanation be- yond his simple assertion that “‘he didn't do it.” On his trial yesterday an attempt was made, feebly, to show that he was not quite right in his mind, not really oright enough to know that he was burglarizing the store. His old father was an interested watcher of the proceedings, and it was thought that he would go upon the stand and swear to his son’s enfeebled mentality. The old gentleman re fused to do so, how er, and so th laim was not very well substantiated. The jury found the young man guilty, without any arguments being made, or much time spent in consideration. The other case tried was a similar one, It s that of a man giving his name as Brown, ho was discovered going through M Stevenson’s house, corner of Park av and Pierce street. It occurred last Febru It was in the afternoon and Miss Campbeil, one of the domestics, found the man going through her room. He had a number of her s and other articles, and when dis- red said he was after rags. He dropped some of the goods and jumped through the window. The young lady followed him and sereamed. - The man was chased into a barn, and dragged from the oat bin where he had lmlvh n himself. Some of the stolen cere found upon him, and some handkerchiefs chucked down between the two pairs of pantaloons which he was wearing. He had the boldness to deny his uilt, and with no prospect for an acquittal went to trinl. His W. S. Williams, was determimed to em s the young lady who was the chief witness, and when she testified to some ladies' underwear being stolen, 1nsisted on her describing these articlés in detail.

The usual form of complaint, with perhaps a few fations, is substantially as follows “See here, Mr. Clerk, Iown a vacant lot on — street, with a thirty-foot front, and it is assessed at §1,500. My neighbor has a sixty-foot lov adjoining me, with a 2,000 house on it, and his assessment is only 81,100, Now, where is there anything like justice in that he does not smow, and says that if he is not satisfied he will have to take the matter into court, as the council has written instructions from the city attorney to let such matters severely alone. This is all the consolation the taxpayer re ceives and if he sends a petition to the coun- cilit is ignominously rejected. No matter bow conclusive the proof that an ascssment is unjust, the council positi refuses to change ' it, unless @ elerical crror is proven as the cause of it. In one case, a property owner is assessed for a sidewalk when there is no_sidewalk along the property and never has been. The plan uscd by th o all_finding out. The only redress these parties have is to go to law about it. Certain itis that taxes must be paid, and it s equally certain that partics who “stand in"’ with the powers that be, get a ridiculously low assessment, and those who do not are assessed at a proportionately high figure to make up for it. ‘This plan of "gou ing those outside the ring is terribly galling to the victims, but thus far they have tamely submitted to the imposition. In a number of instances the assessor has acknowledged that the assessment is too high, but that does not make any difference, as the council has counted itself out from interfering i any way. What the outcome will be, it 1s hard to say, but is hoped a more cquitable busis will be arrived at thau the present one of politics. top at the Beehtele.

The fourth floor is finished in pine, and the lower floors w oak. The rooms along the east side of the second floor are fitted with a very handsome pine cornice, thut presents an agreeable con- trast to the heavy plaster cornices through- out the other parts of the building.

The law provides for all con- tracts where money is -involved, but leaves the marringe contract open to frand and doubt. But our commaon law from the past. It has descended from nation to nation frém the Roman law, but in the leading nations of Europe the Roman law has ‘been so modified by statute as to protect individuals and society. In the United states there has been no progress, hut retrogression, and our law of to-day is looser than was the law even in later Rome WEDLOCK AMONG THEF Among the ecanly bration of ma was asolemn re- ligious ordinance, which could only take place when divine approval had been obtained through the auspices. When these were favorable the priest, in the presence of ten witnesses, sacrificed an ox, and with a form of words divided a cake of wheaten bread between the man and the woman. This ceremony K only open tothe patricians: the martial union of plebeians, though tol- erated, was not considered aslegal mar- rviage. But as the plebeian cl in- ereased by the absorption of surround- ing nations they made for themselves ar e cerémony, which provided that the wife might be obtained by pu chase, like any other chattel. Nor price was paid, buta picce of money weighed in the presence of the parties and five witnesses by the balance holder, and the bride was led in proce sion from her fathe to her hushand’s hou Another way of tying the ma riage knot among plebeians was even less formal, If o man and a woman had lived together uninterruptedly for a year the marringe state arose with all its legal consec But however, the 1 i celebrated by cither wm or plebeian, the wife and her property became the abso- lute property of the husband, and at his death she piassed into the tutelage of a guardian appointed in his will. The Roman matrons soon became restless under this oppression, and modifications of the law for her benefit were brought about which in time required only the consent of the partics to constitute them husband and wife. This law was the law of the church as well as the state but the system of “free marri brought upon the church scandals, abuses and laxity of discipline, and in the middle of the sixteenth century it wus deerced that mar) must be sol- emnized in facie eccelsia, *1n the pres ence of the priest and two witnesscs.
