MINNEAPOLIS.
DUTY OF DE3IOCRATS.
There are some few Democrats who
have allied themselves with the move
ment t# nominate a citizens' ticket for
the city election. They are few in
number, but there are some. They are
guided by a mistaken sense of duty and
right. Those Democrats are most
anxious to secure the election of the
Democratic state ticket and to carry
through the electors for Cleveland and
Thurman. They are as ardent to this
end as those Democrats who refuse to
be hoodwinked by the citizens' ticket,
but they forget the bearing
this citizens' ticket will have
on the general election. The
Republicans are sharper and are trying
to reap the advantage. The wily schem
ers of that party are anxious to elim
inate all that is possible of a party con
test, because they know their state,
congressional and county ticket will
have plainer sailing. What are these
Democrats thinking of? The mole is
less blind than they ! It is their duty to
nominate a good, clean and competent
man for mayor and make a good, clean
and thorough fight for his election, and
thereby bring out voters to the support
of the state and congressional tickets.
The harder the fight is waged, the more
Democratic votes will be made. Has
this fact ever presented itself to these
Democrats who favor a citizens' ticket?
If it becomes necessary to go into a
citizens' movement to secure good men,
it would be different, but such is not the
case. As good a Democrat can be nomi
nated by Democrats as by a mass con
vention.

A BATCH OP "WEATHER.
Another red-hot day, with the custom
ary wind storm at evening. And how
hot it was. Steam ran three feet from
the stacks of the motors before it be
came sufficiently condensed to be visi
ble. The mercury soared aloft among
the unused figures in thermometers
until its altitude could scarcely be told.
By all means, it was the champion
warm day of the year. Every man one
met was in a temper — least, he was
Hot about something. The one solitary
cool spot in the city limits, out of
water, was in the center of the pa
vilion at Lake Harriet, where the
sun never gets and where the lake
breeze sings cadenzas through the whis
kers ot the foliage. To keep cool was
impossible. The fizz of soaa fountains
was suggestive, but of steam escaping,
while the work necessary to grind out a
milk shake laid out drug clerks in every
direction. Still there were no sun
strokes. The people of this torrid zone
.lave become used to temperature rang
ing to 105 deg. in the cellar, in summer,
Jo minus 50 deg. under the kitchen stove
In winter. They live on, just the same,
and talk directory war and base ball.
Then at night came the storm. This
time it came from the south, but Min
neapolis people know that electrical
storms can come from any direction
with equal facility. The sky took on a
cyclonic complexion, and for half an
hour the wind played hide and seek with
chimneys, signs and vagrant trees in
approved St. Cloud style. Like a huge
.nEolian harp, the breezes played
through the iron rafters and open win
dows of the post office building, and
the sad strains of "Waiting" were dis
tinctly audible. Then it "settled down
to a gentle rain, a soft, lulling, cooling
rain, with an influence that would
soothe the angry passions of the Eighth
ward contestants. The hot wave was
chased oil the field, and the city went ;
slumberously to bed.

A HERO NO MORE.
The Usual End of Elopements —
Beauty Eck in a Bad Light.
The "only Eck," the dashing 'cyclist,
who pushed his wheel to many a vic
tory; the beauty Eck, whose athletic
form and silver-grey locks played havoc
with so many fluttering hearts; the gay
T. W. Eck, now- winning British gold
as director of the team of American
bicyclists, has been made defendant in
an action for divorce. A year ago Eck
■was married at Omaha to Jennie
Carlisle-, of Minneapolis, a pretty
little brunette, scarcely more than
a child. Her brother, , Steve,
backed Eck in* several races
and the wheelman was intimate at the
home of the Carlisles, and there met
Jennie, who easily saw a hero in the
only Eck. They eloped to Omaha, were
married, and in time forgiven and re
ceived back at home. A year of mar
ried life ended the dream of the little
wife. Eck was not all her fancy painted
him. She found he was not faithful to
her, and to this he added cruelty. Yes
terday she filed a complaint, asking for
a divorce, and alleging these grounds of
action.
Amelia Dehning has begun an action
against William Dehning for a divorce
on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment She states in her. complaint
that her age is twenty-live years and
the defendant's thirty-one years; tbat
they were married at Glencoe, Minn.,
the 7th of December, 1880, and that the
issue of the marriage is two children,
aged six and four years, respectively.
She also states that Dehning lias prop
erty worth £3,000, and asks for an
order of the court giving her
an absolute divorce, the custody
of the children and $1,100 alimony.
PAVING AND SEWERS.
Some Big Undertakings— Over
Eight Miles Next Year.
Chairman Stoft, of the committee on
streets, grades and additions, is of the
opinion there will be over twelve miles
street paved with cedar blocks next
year. Aid. Morse thought that was a
nigh estimate and they got to figuring
on it. They made out over eight miles
of streets, without counting the alleys.
Yesterday the committee decided to pave
with cedar blocks all alleys lying be
tween the river and Fifth street,
and First avenue north and
First avenue south. The following
streets were also ordered paved:
Seventh street, from Seventh avenue to
Tenth avenue south; Fifth avenue
southeast, from University to Fifth
street; Ninth street, from Hennepin to
Third avenue south; Eighth street, from
Nicollet to Fourth avenue south ; Sixth
street, from First avenue north to Sixth
avenue south; Fifth street, from First
avenue north to Sixth avenue south.
Property owners have petitioned to have
Lyndale avenue paved from the Henne
pin intersection to Thirty-first street,
which will be quite a -job, suggestive
of the earth. The committee declined
to consider it until the sewer is in. The
same petition asked for a sewer, which
was considered by the sewer committee,
in the presence or a lobby. To drain
that avenue is considerable of an under
taking, especially when the lowering of
the 11. &D. tracks is considered. It is
believed the new Twenty-seventh street
tunnel will take most of it, but the com
mittee will look into it further.
NOT IX THE DIRECTORIES,
But Thy Get there, Just the Same.
Benjamin Rohbeck, well known
around town, was arrested late yester
day afternoon by Patrollman McNulty
on a warrant sworn out by Joseph E*
Dowe, charging him with committing
adultery with Sarah E. Dowe, Dowe's
wife. Rohbeck was placed in the First
precinct station, where he remained all
night, bonds not being forthcoming.
It seems that Dowe had for
some time suspected that his wife was
untrue to him, and yesterday determ
ined to find out for once and all. He
followed Iter and RohbecK, and in a
building on Washington avenue south,
had his worst fears realized. He at
once went to the municipal court and
swore out the warrant. The names
"Benjamin Rohbeck" and "Joseph E.
Dowe" are not to be found in either of
the city directories, by a peculiar coin
cidence.

Eight Miles of Streets to

Year.
The Merry War in the Eighth
Ward Goes Bravely
On.
The party that, a few days ago, made
a trip to the Sault. upon invitation of
Gen. W. D. Washburn, has returned,
and the indivilual members are lavish
of their praises of the road, its advanta
ges, its great ultimate benefit to Minne
apolis and St. Paul, and finally the
beauty of the country it traverses.
Among the party was J. L. Lewis, one
of the Eastern owners of the Lehigh
Coal and Iron company, now in charge
at Minneapolis. He was talking of the
road, yesterday, when a Globe reporter
asked him:
"You seem pleased: what do you
think of the 4 Sob' route?"
"1 was surprised beyond measure. It
would naturally be supposed that all
fairly well informed business men
would have a* pretty accurate knowl
edge of the merits of the road and its
connections without having gone over
it; but I venture to state that most of
the business men of these two cities and
of the Eastern cities are absolutely ig
norant of the country the road traverses ;
of the excellence of the road and equip
ment and of the eligibility of the route.
"In the first place the road passes
through the best country of any new
road I ever went over, almost every
mile of it has either lands valuable for
its timber or for farming purposes.
These lands are more attractive to many
settlers for farming than prairies.
"Second— It seems to me that its con
nection at Gladstone with the Lehigh
Valley steamers to Buffalo and various
rail to New York gives it a speedier
route to New York for merchandise and
Hour than any all rail route we have;
taking twelve. hours from here to Glad
stone, forty-eight hours from there to
Buffalo, twelve hours each at Gladstone
and Buffalo for transhipping, will land
freignt from Minneapolis in New York
in four days and one-half. My experi
ence of freight cars, either east or west
bound, is that they are very many days
slower than that. I did contemplate be
fore going on this excursion that the head
of Lake Superior had some odds against
the Soo route by a shorter rail haul, but
1 am fully converted to the belief that
the Soo line will gain so much in point
of speed and saving of water haul that
she will reap from the all-rail route and
from the Sault Ste. Marie canal traffic
a tonnage that, added to its natural rail
connections, will give it a marvelous
success, a success that has only been
comprehended and understood by those
.worthy and enterprising citizens of
Minneapolis, the promoters and builders
of the road."
"What condition does the road appear
to be worked up to?"
"I told you 1 was surprised; well that
expresses my answer to your last ques
tion. All the way to Gladstone it is
first-class, and in its road bed reminds
me of the Lake Shore road, between
Chicago and Cleveland. It is ballasted
with similar material and seems very
straight; there are some curves but the
engineers have so skillfully .located the
lines, and the curves have been so faith
fully and mathematically posed that I
really thought the road was practically
straight. Inequalities are filled with
earth, not trestles. The rails are
heavy and it seems to me that
the road is not only capable of
very fast time, but is safe as a railroad
can possibly be. The 'All Kail route' to
the east in connection with the Canadian
Pacific, lam told is nearly 200 miles
shorter to Boston than the roads via
Chicago. This being so I should think
the Soo road would get a good share of
through rail passenger travel.
"There are many points of much in
terest en route; the Sault Ste. Marie
canal, locks, rapids and bridges will en
tertain one for a day, both with pleasure
and profitable information. 1 learned at
the Sault yesterday that the tonnage of
the Sault Ste. Marie canal in 1881 was
about one million and a half: in
1887 it was about five millions.
Can any one digest these figures and
contemplate the natural advantages the
Soo road can honestly claim and not de
cide that the road will have all it can
do, and more, and before many years
require a double track. Much of this
great tonnage through the Sault canal
is carried to the head of Lake Superior
at a cost of at least 83% per cent, more
than it can reasonably, be taken to
Gladstone for. This saving of lake
charges will, upon all tonnage coming
to the Soo road by the lakes, justly ac
crue to the profit of the Soo railroad; as
yet these lesser lake rates have not pre
vailed, but as steamers can certainly
make three trips to Gladstone from
Lake Erie ports quicker than they can
make two to Lake Superior ports, it is
only a question of being fully ready at
Gladstone with down freights to estab
lish at least so great a difference of
&% per cent in favor of the
Soo railroad. Gladstone being so near
Escanaba, only seven miles, where large
quantities of ore are shipped, down
freights can be pretty well assured. On
merchandise and express freight the ad
vantage in time the Soo road has, must
command respect,
"It does seem to me such a laudable
enterprise, conceived among your Min
neapolis people, carried out by them,
and now proved to be such a boom to
both of these cities as an adjuster of
freight rates that the road should be
studied, that it should be known famil
iarly, and should be patronized with
loyalty and pride."
TIIE CRUEL AVAR -
In the Eighth Is Continued — New
Broadsides Preparing*.
The Eighth ward situation is quiet,
but it is that quiet which sometimes
reigns at the top of a volcano while the
eruption is preparing beneath. Yester
day morning was the time set for the
hearing by the council committee, and
an interested audience gathered in the
council chamber. John T. Blaisdell
and J. N. Christopher represented the
lynx-eyed vigilance committee of citi
zens, while Aids. Cooley and Stoneman
personated a somewhat belligerent de
fense. Aid. Lawrenc,the third of the trio,
was also present, and the astute Albert
has figured it out that he is an innocent
third party, and in no way accountable
if anything wrong is shown. Others
have a different idea, but Albert is
serene and cheerful. Comptroller Hol
brook and Attorney Smith were also
present to smooth over the gaps of in
formation. Noting was done. Aid.
Johnson moved an adjournment until
Tuesday, as he and Aid. Stoneman
were oh the board of equalization,
and this action was taken. Aid.
Cooley was opposed to this. He wanted
the war to go on now and at once and
he was ready to show the whole inward
ness. Aid. Stoneman also wanted to
go on, but the committee decided other
wise. . ■ .- . .„. . :777 70 7.7]
ln the meantime the war is progress
ing. The committee is at work on an
other broadside, part of which will show
up the bids, with the allowances for
overhauls. Aid. Cooley has also burned
the midnight oil preparing a statement
in defense of Aid. Stoneman and him
self. At the proper time both will
probably be given to the press and more
ammunition will be furnished either
side. - .

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORISTING, AWUST 3, 1888.
THE CHICAGO BALL CHIEF.
A. G. Spalding in Minneapolis-
Interesting Ball Talk.
The tall and robust form, of A. . G.
Spalding, the Chicago base ball mag
nate, loomed up in Nicollet avenue yes
terday. Fred Leland had him in tow,
showing the sights of the great sporting
center. Mr. Spalding is chock full of
base ball information and can talk it
well, so it was not long before he was
led off into a discussion upon the sub
ject.
"No, I can understand," he said,
"why Minneapolis is not as good a ball
town as one could want. There are
enough people here and they certainly
take enough interest in base ball to sup
port a good team. One great trouble is
the price ball costs. Salary lists are
running up out of proportion and there
must be a general shaking down before
long. Too many cities are struggling
along making nothing, simply from car
rying too heavy a load of salaries. De
troit is the most notable instance of this.
It has not made a dollar out of the game
and its terrific salaries are responsible.
They led off in this and there is no sense
in it."
"It is certainly much worse in pro
portion in the minor leagues then, is it
not?;' * ;-.-:-..
--"Yes, it is. I wonder how many of
the smaller cities and a good many
larger ones can live and pay their men?
St. Paul pays altogether too much. A
salary of $150 or $175 a month is an
abundance for the average player, and
if that salary were general, the players
would be satisfied. There are excep
tional men who might be worth $1,500 a
season, but they are few. As good men
can be made as now exist, and where a
minor league can sell off a good man for
$2,500 it should never hesitate. I pre
dict there will be a general shaking up
on this question before long."
"Of course, Chicago will win the
league pennant?"
"Of course. We have kept the lead
long enough, now let some other team
carry it for a month or so and we will
come in on the stretch. Our people ex
pect that, and we don't have to win all
the time to get a crowd out. A Chicago
audience simply wants good ball and
they'll cheer the victors whoever they
may be. Detroit is different. Now
there is a great ball team, but because
they won last year, their people want
the earth, and if the team loses a game
they say they're no good and don't turn
out. As I Bay, Detroit is not making a
dollar, and some others are in the same
boat. Indianapolis is doing well, 1 be
lieve, but Washington is not."
"What do you" think of a national
league team here to represent the Twin
cities, with a park half way between
the cities?"
"Well, would it be supported? A
league team is an awful** load
to carry, but if these cities would join
in such a scheme I don't see but that it
might be made a great go. It would
only be ten minutes from either city to
the ground. Do you know, I thought of
that years ago, when we had the trouble
with St. Louis. I don't know but it's a
scheme that one day may blossom into a
beautiful reality."

MED FOREANB AFT.
The Shotwell-Clerihew Case
Has an Airing Before
Judge Mahoney.
E. M. Wilson Argues Strongly
for the Release of the ; j
Accused, * l *
rs :
While Judge Shaw Rakes
Them With Double Grape j <
and Canister. •:
The Poor Devil and Rich Mer
chant Are One to JJ3 j
the Law. W j
The arguments in the famous Shot
well-Clerihew case were begun* in the
municipal court yesterday morning, in
the presence of a large number of spec
tators, nearly all more or less directly
interested in the case. Eugene Wilson,
for the defense, opened the argument.
He first took up the testimony of Mr.
Shotwell in regard to going east to raise
money.** Everything was perfectly regu
lar, as Mr. Shotwell had the promise of
plenty of money, and fully expected to
get it and have money enough to meet
the drafts when, they came on. Mr.
Shotwell and Mr. Clerihew could have
had no object in defrauding the bank, as
the money did not go into their pockets,
but was paid out to creditors. If these
methods were irregular nearly every
banker in the Northwest could be prose
cuted, as everyone did the same thing.
Mr. Wilson referred at some length to
the schedule of assets and liabilities, and
accounted for the discrepancy in the
assets by the fact that in the state
ment the property had been estimated
-at the invoice price, whereas the as
signee was obliged to make a schedule
based upon the price the goods would
sell for at an assignee's sale, where the
price would necessarily be smaller than
at a regular store sale. Mr. Wilson
argued that the firm had not drawn the
money; that in depositing the checks
with the bank they had simply made a
contract whereby the bank should pay
the money for them. He closed with a
brief plea for the discharge of the pris
oner.
Judge Shaw followed in his charac
teristic style. The firm of Shotwell,
Clerihew & Lothrnan had, he argued,
deceived the bank by the check, and
induced the cashier to pay out money
on it. In making out this check Mr.
Shotwell was just as guilty as Mr. Cleri
hew, because he knew what was going
on, and connived at defrauding the
bank. Judge Shaw next passed to the
question, Did Mr. Shotwell and Mr.
Clerihew draw the check with criminal
intent? He held that they did, and re
viewed much of the testimony to prove
that such was the case. At noon the
court took a recess.
HE KEEPS IT UP.
It was 2:30 when Judge Shaw, re
sumed his argument. He began by
reading from the Minnesota Reports,
and cited various cases similer to that of
Shotwell, Clerihew & Lo'hman. The
law presumed that all men intented
their voluntary acts. The question now
conies to this — the testimony suffi
cient to repel the presumption of guilty
intent? We hold that the defendants
have produced no such evidence, and
all their efforts to extricate themselves,
sink them still deeper into the mire.
Mr. Clerihew can not plead that he was
drawn into this thing by Mr. Shotwell,
for that does not hold in the eyes of the
law. Because he was implicated -in a
criminal act performed by another, it
does not release him from the responsi
bility attaching to the crime. Mr. Wilson
attempts to -.dear Mr. Clerihew through
Mr. Shotwell's monumental gall, but it
will not do. It is shown by Mr. Cleri
hew's own testimony that the only hope
he had of those checks being paid,
was that Mr. Shotwell might be
able to borrow money in New York.
How long would it take a judge to come
to a conclusion if these persons were
poor devils, charged with obtaining ?25
instead of 180,000? Not long, I warrant
you. But Mr. Shotwell and Mr, Cleri
hew come into this court room clothed
in the eyes of the law precisely the
same as the man who is charged'with
stealing $25. There is no reason why
their crime should be dwelt lightly
upon, and Ido not think that in this
case it will be. In this case even if the
drawer of the check had a reasonable
belief that there would be money on
hand to pay it it does not relieve* him
from criminal intent. Judge Shaw
compared Mr. Clerihew to Judas Isca
riot, who sold his Lord for thirty pieces
of silver, hoping that his captors would
not kill him. But, continued Judge
Shaw, .Judas has decency enough to
return the money, and then
GO AND HANG HIMSELF. '•'- •
The defense has laid considerable
stress on the fact that Messrs. Shotwell
and Cherihew did not profit by the
transaction they used the money in
paying their debts. But this is not the
question. The question is how they got
tlie money, not what they did with it.
There is probably a hole somewhere,
and Mr. Wilson the attorney for the as
signee of the defunct firm, might tell
where it is. It is clearly shown by all
the testimony introduced, that just be
fore Shotwell went to New York he and
Mr. Cherihew entered into an agree
ment to violate the law, and then they
trusted in Providence to avoid the con
sequences. They agreed to draw checks
on a bank where they had no money.
Now if Mr. Shotwell had been lucky
enough to borrow money when he went
to New York, nothing would ever have
been heard of this matter. These men
drew some $70,000 from the Nicollet
National bank, knowing that they had
not a dollar in New York to make good
the amount. Mr. Cherihew, if he knew
anything, knew this was theft. Here
Judge Shaw took up something Mr.
Wilson had at, the examination, and re
marked that it was something like the
flowers that bloom in the spring— had
nothing to do with the case.
Judge Shaw here took up the testi
mony of Mr. Shotwell and Mr. Cleri
hew and tore it all to pieces, especially
that portion which referred to the giv
ing of a statement of the firm's financial
condition to some commercial agency.
The attorney gently insinuated that the
statements of the assets of the firm had
been intentionally misrepresented; that
the firm knew the statement was false,
or else that some §400,000 or §500,000 had
gone into the pockets of the members of
the firm. . The reckless swearing by the
two defendants would seem to indicate
that there was a deliberate schemed to
(.efraud .fixed up by the defendants."
The famous telegram was next taken
up and dissected in a very lively man
ner. It had a different meaning from
that which showed on its face, continued
the attorney. It meant that the machine
concocted before Shotwell left for New
York was working all right, as some
sucker had been found in the East who
would take the bogus checks, and on
this wonderful telegram Mr. Clerihew
justifies himself in drawing these checks
on the Nicollet bank. Why, this tele
gram was sent by Mr. Shotwell before
he ever went into the Providence bank
or had made any arrangement for get
ting any money.
I ask you. has Mr. Clerihew a right to
rob the Nicollet bank of §SO,OOO upon
the assurance of his partner that every
thing is all rigid? if such a justifica
tion is to prevail this statute becomes
a dead letter on our statute books, and
a decision in favor of the defendants by
your honor would be to 70-77
* T;';V * KIEL THE STATUTE
once for all and sweep it out of exist
ence. Some men have to be made to be
honest, and this law was enacted for
that purpose. It is a hard thing that
two such men as these should be ar
raigned to answer a charge of crime in
court, but it is an infinitely harder
thing that a gigantic violation of the
law like this should be winked at. It is
more important that the law should be
Unforced than that these guilty men
should escape, for this sort of business
is growing here, and unless it is stopped
soon the fair name ot our goodly city
will be ruined in a commercial way.
What I have said applies equally well
to Mr. Shotwell. He appears to have
been the king bee in this big hive of
fraud. He was the intelligent monkey
which used the paw of the poor cat to
pull chestnuts from the fire. But in
this case Mr. Clerihew appears to have
been a very intelligent and willing cat,
and from all appearances he received a
fair share of the chestnuts. Just look
at Mr. Shotwell's appearance on. the
witness stand. Why, he confessed
nearly everything, and would occasion
ally laugh, as though the untruths he
was telling were great and rare jokes.
He says himself that he tried to work
, Julliard, but could not do it. When he
says he had a promise of $75,000 he was
telling what was false, as he never had
• such a promise.
Judge Shaw next took up the testi
; mony of Messrs. Shotwell and Clerihew
in relation to the statements made to
the commercial agencies, and gave Mr.
• Shotwell an exceedingly lively "roast
ing," charging him with having time
and again made the most outrageously
: false and untrue statements. I have
called your attention to the reckless
j swearing of these men on the stand,
: continued Judge Shaw, to show you
just how much dependence can be
placed in their testimony. Both of
them have gone on the stand and sworn
falsely; that is plain.*
Mr. Wilson says it is not an offense to
draw a check on a bank when you have
no money— well, I'll admit that; but it
is a crime to draw such a check and get
money out of an innocent person on it,
as these men have done. If your honor
should find that Mr. Foss has*
GIVEN" FALSE TESTIMONY,
as Mi*. Shotwell and Mr. Clerihew say
he • haj, I hope you will base your
opinion on something stronger than the
say so of these two men. Mr. Wilson
gravely stands before your honor and
tells you that the methods pursued by
Shotwell, Clerihew & Lothmap are the
same as pursued by every businessman
in Minneapolis, and unless business
men could do business in that wav, they
would all fail. All I have to say "is that
they had better fail right here than do
business in a fraudulent way. Mr. Wil
son further tells you that foreign ex
change is like the way iv which Shot
well and Clerihew drew on the bank.
Yes, its just about as much like it as
the Sermon on the Mount is like a chap
ter from the Police Gazette, or the cloud
Hamlet showed the old man in the play
is like a whale. There is no similarity
between the two cases at all. In for
eign exchange a man does not give a
check on a bank where he has no
money and then trust to luck to raise
the money.
In closing Judge Shaw said: "We
believe we have made such a case, your
honor, as would justify you, and it
would be your duty, iii holding these
men to answer for their crime. The
two questions are: Was there an of
fense, and was it such as should make
it advisable to hold these men? I an
swer yes, in all candor. Even Mr. Wil
son does not deny, when he comes down
to solid ground, that the methods
practiced by these men were question
able. It is high time that these high
handed robberies from banks were
stopped, and business men must learn
that there is a certain line which they
dare not cross. If criminals are to be
permitted to escape because they come
into court and state that they did not
mean to do any wrong, it is time a
change was made, and it cannot come
.too soon. This business, from begin-
r ning to end, shows evidence of intent
tto defraud. All the facts show that the
f whole thing was conceived in fraud,
gestated in iniquity and brought forth
a bouncing steal weighing about 20,000
pounds sterling." This closed the ar
guments. This morning Judge Ma
honey will give his decision.
JUMPING PROPERTY.
The Board of Equalization Sizing
Up the Assessment Lists.
If the revenue resultant from the as
sessment of 1888 is not sufficient to
-meet tlie demands on the city treasury,
it will not be the fault of the assessor
•and the board of equalization. In these
superheated August days the board
labors away conscientiously, raising as
sessments, elevating this one a little
and boosting that one out of sight.
Every day there is a prolonged fight as
some mealy mouthed property owner
kicks softly and vigorously at
his tilted valuation. The asses
sor has a very 'cute way of
handling personal assessments. If a
return is not made, that official makes
an arbitrary assessment and is con
scientious enough to make it sufficiently
high. If there is no kick and it becomes
necessary the next year to again make
an arbitrary assessment, it is made a
little higher, for the assessors reason
thus: If last year's assessment was too
high, there would have been a kick ;
there was none, so it was not high
enough. So up it goes another notch.
The board yesterday heard complaints
from the Eighth ward, and there were
plenty of them. All property on Frank
lin avenue, from Cedar to Eleventh, was
raised : the north side got 15 per cent
added and the south side was lifted 25
per cent. Fourth avenue property was
held to be high enough, and was allowed
to stand as it was. The board, among
its miscellaneous business, has tackled
the log owners again, and Messrs. Briggs
and Shaw & Elliott were ordered to ap
pear and show cause why they should
not each be assessed with 20,000,000 feet.
New Men for the Finest.
The city hall was well filled up last
evening with men who had applications
in before the police commission for
positions on the force. All nationali
ties, nearly, were represented, and the
ages of the candidates ranged from
twenty-one to fifty years. All the com
missioners except Hoy were present at
the meeting. After a short session the
following persons, nearly all of
them being old soldiers, were appointed,
their pay beginning August 10 and end
ing October 10: Jacob T. Loche, C. M.
Hatch, Clement Lovely, Leander Fraz
ier,George W.York, James H. Lunt, Aug
ust Wold, Thomas Kelly, Nic Smith,
Charles K. Wolff, H. S. Tedman, John
Collins, D. B. Franklin, 11. H. Harvey,
George Miller. W. H. Finnegan. J. E.
Norstrom and A. J. Poole. There are
seven more men to be appointed, but
owing to the absence of Commissioner
Hoy the matter of their selection was
laid over until the regular meeting Mon
day next.
