His way of 'getting at it" waa by studying the bona floe mortgage-: for money loaned during the last two years, and particularly during last year. "We presume." said Mr. Plummer, "that 40 per cent of the actual value of realty could be raised jii a loan. This Is the conservative man's estimate of real values. From that we learned the basis of valuation." Judge Henry G.

Hicks spoke at some? length. He said heavy taxation had become practical confiscation. bad shrunk 50 to 60 per cent. "We might as well," lie continued, "acknowledge that we nave been blowing our horns for thirty years. The two cities were bouid to rival one another in the number of the population, and it did seem as if there was no limit we would not go as to the number of our Inhabitants and the values of property.

The year '93 tested the value of real estate In these cities, and men are compelled to admit that property is assessed for more than what It Is worth. The logic of evants has been too strong for them. "We went to our board of and lt made what they deemed a i proper cut in the values of our real estate. We felt what you and ail of us now know that the panic, of '93 drove out from 30 to 50 per cent of the real estate values of St. Paul, "Minneapolis and Duluth.

We convinced our local board of these facts, mil It made a deduction from our assessment. Thete has been practically no increase in values of city property during the past twenty years, though 1 aided interests on the outside have increased." Judge Hicks at this point passed to the chairman a list of thirty pieces or property which had been assessed by the assessor for 10 per cent more than the property is valued at. Continuing, said: "Our assessor got up a new plan of assessment on a cheap scale. The assessment was made on the map. Our friends from Ramsey will tell you that It is a moral impossibility to get at a fair assessment in any such manner.

They spent $10,000 to get a fair assessment, and it was money well expended. It is not within the power or genius of any man, with small force at his command, to make a just and proper assessment. Our assessor doesn't feel the terrible shrinkage ln the values of property. He sits there drawing his fat salary. He has his ideas, and they're fixed.

He's as firm as a mule tied to a post. We come here overburdened and oppressed taxpayers, and all we ask is even-handed justice. "There was a time when we were proud, and wanted to be the richest and the biggest city ln the world, but we have gotten over that." F. N. Stacy followed Judge Hicks, and presented statistics to show how Minneapolis was overtaxed in comporison with other cities throughout the Union.

Cleveland, with a population of 345,000, had a realty valuation of and other cities as per table below: Population. Valuation. Denver 150,000 $66,000,000 Jersey City 182,000 85,000,000 Kansas City 150,000 58,000,000 Louisville 200,000 115.000,000 Milwaukee 250,000 142,000,000 Minneapolis 193,000 130,000,000 Newark 215,000 130.000,000 New Orleans 275,000 140.000,000 Omaha 160,000 19,000,000 Toledo 125,000 45.000,000 Chicago 1,750,000 244,000,000 Mr. Stacy said that the average valuation of acre property with improvements in this state was less than twenty years ago. On 14 per cent of the population of the state, he claimed, Minneapolis had to bear 50 per cent of the valuation.

The valuation in round numbers in 1890 was $136,000,000, and had not been changed materially ever since, though all kinds of property had shrunk from 50 to 90 per cent. The other gentlemen spoke in the same vein. Today the board will be at Duluth and look over the Zenith City, and tomorrow Minneapolis will be the special order. After adjusting Minneapolis and Duluth, all that remains to be fixed is the assessment on the telegraph and telephone companies and then the board will be through. FEDERAL JURY PANEL.

He was riding down town on his bicycle about 7:30, and when he came to the bridge did not notice until too late that it was being repaired and a portion of the flooring had been removed. He was thrown from the wheel and fell through one of the openings in the flooring to the ground, nearly twenty feet below. The bicycle caught between the stringers and was not greatly damaged. Ryerstrom was taken heme in the Margaret street patrol wagon. ANDERSON IS CAPTURED And Locked Up for Carving; Kittle Galloway, William M.

Anderson, the colored man who stabbed Kittie Galloway in a lover's quarrel Monday night, at 376 Wacouta street, was taken by the police yesterday afternoon. It was known that he frequented that quarter of the town popularly designated as the "Bad Lands," and located In the vicinity of Temperance and Norris streets, so a careful watch was kept there. Early in the afternoon Ofiicer O'Malley met him on Temperance street and escorted him to the central police station, where he is held on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Anderson bears a dubious reputation, and even his most Intimate acquaintances declare he is a "no 'count nlggah." Miss Galloway is in a fair way to recovery.

WILL GOUjmT VOTES JOINT COUNCIL COMMITTEE NAMES THE JI FOR THE NEXT ELECTION. REPUBLICANS GET THE TWO, WHILE THE DEMOCRATS AND POPULISTS SPLIT THE OTHER TWO. ONLY ONE LIST WAS REGULAR, That Being: the List Filed by the Democratic County Committee to Allow Selections.

The joint council committee appointed to pass upon the lists of judges of election submitted by the three political parties met yesterday afternoon. The Republican, Democratic and People's party lists were duly laid before the committee for Its action. The list submitted by the Democratic county committee was the only one that conformed with the usual practice. It contained two names for each election district or precinct, one of which was selected by the committee and recommended for appointment. The Republicans and Populists, however, did not send In a double list, but each named only one judge for each precinct, thus allowing the committee and the council no choice In the matter except to select their men or reject them.

The committee, after some discussion of this irregularity, finally decided to recommend all the names submitted by the Republican and People's party committees. Besides the three judges of election who will serve ln each precinct, the Republicans submitted a list of men to be appointed ballot judges. The committee also approved of the latter list. Following is the complete list of the judges of election as selected by the committee, and recommended to the common council for appointment, the first named being the Republican Judge, the second, the Democratic, the third, the Populist, and the fourth, the Republican ballot judge: First Ward First precinct, Gustave Seibert, William Young, W.

COMO AVENUE BRIDGE. Assessments Are Set Aside by Com. mlssloner Copeland. Commissioner of Public "Works Copeland will declare all proceedings of the board of public works relative to the assessment for the Como avenue bridge annulled. The commissioner will likewise declare that all assessments for benefits are set aside and then proceed to modify the award of damages.

Mr. Copeland maintains that none of the private property assessed by the board of public works (has been benefited by the Como avenue bridge, inasmuch as, In his opinion, the raise of grade necessary to approach the bridge tended to damage the abutting property rather than to increase its value. The benefits assessed by the board of public works amount to $1,500, and the assessment Is spread over the territory bounded by Dale street, Lexington avenue, Front street and Lake Como and Phalen avenue. Also all property along Como avenue from Western avenue to Topping street, and along Rice street from the bridge to University avenue. It is understood that the commissioner proposes to make only a nominal assessment of benefits, not exceeding perhaps 25 cents on a lot.

As for the $1,500 assessment, which he proposes to annul, the commissioner thinks that there is a balance in the Como avenue bridge fund sufficient to make good the amount needed, and if not, the council will be asked to appropriate the amount.

We 0f thC great events of tory without at once associating them together and we cannot recall any examples of like nature so conspicuous, unless it be the inseperable association of Washington and Jefferson with Virginia and Lincoln with us fortunately these statesmen are our own countrymen, and we cannot too highly revere them, and however much much they may have differed in administrative policies they were always and at all times together for the of the country. No man of his time left a more lasting impression on public legislation than the eminent leader in New York, Alexander Hamilton, who. more than any one else, secured the ratification of the United States constitution and to whom, we are more largely indebted than to any other citizen for our protective tariff system, which he always steadily supported, and for our excellent monetary system, for beginning with the first coinage act on April 2, 1792, every law enacted down to and including the act of May, 1875, providing for the resumption of specie payments, was based upon the principles laid down by Alexander Hamilton and supported almost ln their entirety by Thomas Jefferson. (Ajpplause).

We have heard a great deal In this campaign about the doctrines of the fathers. Hamilton favored both gold and silver as money, though he preferred gold alone himself, and the government of the United States entered upon the use of both. Hamilton announced the great fundamental principle when he said: "There can hardly be a better rule for any country for a legal than the market ratio. In other words every coin should contain enough metal so that when melted lt will be worth just as much as when it is stamped as money, the bullion or market values always to be the came as its legal or money value." This was the doctrine of both Hamilton and Jefferson. This has been the undevlating policy of the governmeit under every administration, and has been the settled policy of all the great parties of the country from the beginning of the government.

By the act of July, 1890. commonly known as the Sherman act. we Insisted upon putting Jnto that law the doctrine of Hamilton, that the parity of the two metals must always be sacredly maintained. The Republicans wrote Into that law, for both branches of congress and the presidency were ln the hands of the Republican party, a solemn pledge, which is as binding an agreement between the government and the people as was ever made. Here Is the language: "It is the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals (gold and silver) at a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio or at such ratio as may be established by law." This was the act of the 51st congress, passed by the Republican party for the purpose of preventing the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, but nevertheless giving to silver the greatest poss'ble use as money and for that purpose providing for the utilization of substantially the full product of the American mines.

This is not the only declaration, in recent years, in support of the "Hamilton idea of th's parity. The 53d congress, elected in 1892 and Democratic in both branches, with President Cleveland as the chief executive elected by the Democratic party, also recognized the doctrine of the parity. President Cleveland was so convinced that the coinage of silver was becoming such a peril to the country that he called congress together ln extraordinary session August 7, 1893 and congress, at his earnest solicitation, proceeded to repeal the purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman law, and in doing this wrote into our public statutes this express contract: "And lt is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as the standard money and to coin both gold and silver Into money of equal intrinsic and unchangeable value, this equality to be secured through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the maintenance of the parity ln value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times ln the market and ln the payment of dabts." This was the act of the 53d congress under President Cleveland, an act by a Democratic congress and a Democratic president, approved by a Democratic administration and indorsed everywhere by the Democratic press, and, as I believe, by the masses of the Demj ocratic party. It is true mat we, as Repub- I Ucans, can take satisfaction In the fact that it would not have passed the senate except I for the earnest support of Republicans, and none more prominently than Senator Sherman himself, but the Democratic party was solely responsible for your legislation then, and its action bound the members of that party as strongly to the support of honest money as the 51st congress had committed the Republi! cans of the country to the support of the same doctrine. With what bad faith, fore, with what disregard for the right, for Justice and honor, can any citizen now dej maud that the government shall enter upon any settlement of our debts or scheme of coinage the confessed result of which would be to destroy the parity between dollars, drive gold from circulation and reduce the value of silver and paper dollars still circulating nearly one-half.

Hamilton and Jefferson. Jackson and Lincoln, or Grant and Cleveland never taught a doctrine so perilous as that. TTe people of the United States will never adopt so discreditable and dangerous a course; nor will they fail to brand with their condemnation, whenever an opportunity is given them, through the ballot. "Hie idle talk about the dollars of the fathers and the principles and men of 17J6, will do no barm, for lt will never convince the honest citizen that Ham-1 ilton or Jefferson, or any other of our revered fathers or patriots, ever viewed with toleration any scheme of dishonest finance, or contemplated for an instant the idea that the United States would cheat us people ln their money, or repudiate any obligations It ever made either by expressed terms or implication. My fellow citizens, lt must never be written that this nation eithelL encourages or practices dishonesty.

Good money we will continue to have. What we want now Is a chance to earn more of our good money. We never had better currency in the world than we have today, and we never had bo muph work In our history as we had ln 1892.

We want the American workshop protected and defended against the foreign workshop for the benefit of American workingmen. I want to read what Webster said, March 15, 1837, in your great state: "He who tampers with the currency robs labor of its bread; panders, indeed, to greedy capital, which is keen Righted and may shift for itself, but he beggars labor, which is honest, unsuspecting and too busy with the present to calculate for tha future.

The prosperity of the working classes lives, moves and has its being in established credit and a steady medium of payment. All sudden changes destroy it. Honest Industry never comes in for any part of the spoils in that scramble which takes place when the currency of a country Is disordered. Did wild schemes and projects ever benefit the Industrious? Did violent fluctuations ever do good to him who depends on his dally labor for his daily bread. Certainly never.

All these things may gratify greediness for sudden gain or the rashness of daring speculation, but they can bring nothing but injury and distress to the homes of patient industry and honest labor."
