When in the county treasurer' ollioe
the other day, wo were shown a list
that hud Imjou returned from the audi
tor' general's ollire, of lands that are
non-anM'Msable or desctibed incorrectly
upon the assessment roll, and from which
iiHHeHHment no taxes can Is collected.
The 1 in t amounted to ? lOo-t.'l.KS and
covcre part of lh'Jo and previous
years. The exnses of nd vci tising,
ulone on thi lint was $1.V0.00 and
that iiinount does not include nnjf
advertising upon the '.)." part of the
list as those dtKTipt ions have not yet
ihmmi udvei tised. We wi re informed
that ii similar list is returned each year,
hast year's list amounted to $1I,U0,
Of course u huge portion of the tax ' o
returned, arises fi om assessments that
have I recti declared void by the ciicuit
court, but, taking the iN'.t." loll as an
example the court not having passed
upon that roll yet, there are S'.." eirors
teturncd so far and no doubt many
more will follow. These errors are due
to the assessing of government land,
Homestead land, P. M. k M. hind, or
School land or by errors in the descrip
tion given of the property assessed.
Am an example of the hitler we noticed
that in tho village of Crystal Falls the
assessor had spread nrparati.lv the lots
of the Donovan 1i Cole addition when
us n matter of fact there is no such an
addition on record. Again there are a
IummIs.'!' of lots assessed in the "Maple
(Jrovo addition" when it should read
t lie "Maple ( irove Laud and Improve
meat Company' 1st addition." These
two are picked out at random from
Iieai) ' of similar errors in ale in
every township in the county.
It i evident upon the fare of it tha
these error aie due to either an 1111
proper knowledge or to gross careless
lie upon the pail ol tho assessing
olllerr and a long as this sort id work
continues it is impossible for us to grt
wut of debt. If the proper knowledge
is not available it is the duty of tin
ttoartl of supervisor to procure it at
once, and if il is at hand, then there is
no one to blame but the supervisor who
make the roll and just as long as
Ihe iM'ople tolerate such work, then just
no long will this county and every
township ia it have u Hood of
outstanding orders thai they never
can meet. It is time that thi
matter was piolcd to the bottom
and the fault remedied.

upper peninsula.

it up for him last fall are now all whoop
ing the other way. He doesn't h cm to
lisvo any fi lends, but of course that's no
indication of how the masses of the

lant time."
"II Lieutenant- lovcrnor Dun-dan
really announced himself for the guln.i
nutorhil nomination?"
"No, ho ha not . There has Uen no
tnnvu made in that diieetion. I tliink,
though, the upper cniusulu is ready to
give him its solid support the moment
he ays he wants it. lie is very popu
lar with tho Hople and very strong
politically."
"Who will Ih tin next collector at

fight has l-cn settled yet. It is to be
liod, for tho good of the pait.v, that
John June will not get it. He seems to

Washington, p. ('., Sept. 1C, 1S'.7.
The political campaigns in the various
States aie wanning up-growing very
waim.in fact, l'artics arriving beta
from New Yoik, Nebraska, Kentucky,
Iowa, and Ohio icpoi t ex ti erne activity
and interest in the light which is to bo
made ia those States. . Kemaikable us
it is that the silver raue should still
have any life left in it, it is u fact. It is
to be made the btsii of the battl-J in
every stale where there aie important
ehctions thisfall. Onevcarago oneounce
of silver would buy one bushel of whe.it
in New Yoi k ; now it .lake two ounces,
and silver still falllmg arid wheat i-till

that anybody could successfully argue
in fa vol of curt cue v made fro'n metal
w Iiom value has fallen over twenty-five
per cent in eighteen months. Yet that
is u fact ns to Mlver . On Match 7th of
lat3earit was wot th K'vrnty cents an
ounce in New Yotk, now it is worth fifty
two cents.
How it is that nny paity can now
MsMimc to w in a battle with silver as
the chii f issue in Mates where the.v could
not win on tlmt issue a year go, is hard
to understand. On hist l'renideutial
election day hilver was wortn sixty-five

lift.v-one cents, a fall of over twenty per
cent. If t he Pemocrats could not cany

The IVmocraN, it st-erns, from reports
received, ate trying to tun away from
their platiotm made but a short two
months situe. This action, however,
in not to be wondered at ia view of th
fart that silver has fallen fifteen per cent
in value ereii in that short i-paee of
nine. .iuiv in nn ounce silver was
worth in the New Yoik m.iikets sixty
and six tenths cents ami it is now woi th
but lifty-t w o cents nnd still going down
Small wonder then that the Pemocrats
nrc ashamed of their platform and are
trying to get away from it when, with
in to mouths after its adoption the
metal which it advocates as money de
clines (illeen per cent. It goes without
saying, however, that the Republicans
of the sta te will not let their opponents
get away from the Hsue which they have
made. It also goes without saying that
the Republicans w ill sweep the state now
that they have the enemy on theiun,
pioviding they are not over-conlident.
New Yoik City is thecoignc of vantage
in state contest. The light in New Yoik
this fall relates to the mayoralty, but
it is for a llrst mayor of the largest city
in the I'nited States and second largest
city in the woi Id, and will decide whether
or not Tammany Hall nhall control
greater New York. If Tammany grt
conliol it will gieatly endanger Republi
can proHjM'cts in the state indefinitely.
riiose opposed to Tammany and fiee
silver must therefore combine on one
good man . Ily m fusing to do so they
give gte. iter New York and probably the
state over to the Tainmany-sil ver Pem
ocrats indefinitely.
There is good reason to hope that the
party in Maryland will fallTu line, now
that the factional tight in Republican
ranks is over, and with the aid of the
gold Pemocrats and t hi nuti tioiman
men win in the fight for the legislature.
Owing to (ioiman's' fieu-si'.rer leanings
and the gem-tally conceded opinion that
he would vote for fiee siUer in tin
Senate, tho sound money Pemocrats
throughout the state are ready to again
