THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York
possessing the fullest confidence of the
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground Jeffersonian of the Republic.
Democracy, pure and simple,
is good enough for the Star. Single handc
ed among the metropolitan press, it lias
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the government froth
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past it has beenunswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in our national affairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity. For
people who like that sort of Democracy
he Stab is the paper to read.
Tire Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that
tribute exacted from the people in excess
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nually from the people and locking them
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against tho right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i are and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each
presents an epitome of what is best
knowing of the world’s history of
Its stories are told in good, quick,
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting
ing they are.
The Sunday Stab is as good as the
class magazine, and prints about the
amount of matter. Besides the day’s

GEORGIA’S TAXABLE
FOOTS UP $357,863,331.
Which Makes a Net Gain ol
002 Over Last Year—The State
Has Grown $123,000,000
Richer ia Nine Years:
The digests from all ol the
ties in the state have been received
the comptroller general’s office.
The property in the aggregate re
turned by the 137 counties is
gia sum up *327,863,331.
But this docs not include the
erty returned by the taxable
in the state, which will
*29,000,000.
This makes Georgia’s property
turn foot up the snug sum of
864,331.
There is upwards of *30,000,000
railroad property in Georgia that
non-taxable. TheCentral, the
western, the Augusta and
and the Western and Atlantic
are exempt from taxation.
The digests from all of the
ties show a net increase over
year of *11,268,002, and the net
in railroad property returned
amount *4,000,000, which runs
the aggregate not increase for
last fiscal year to *15,258)002.
In 1879, just nine years ago,
digest showed the property in
gia to be *225,003,419 and the
roads returned the same year
129.
So that in nine years, Georgia
gained about *12,000,000 in
property on the digest, and
000 in taxable railroad property.
In other words, the state of
gia is richer by about cne
and twenty-three millions of
than she was nine years ago.

The reporter met Mr. Frank Me-
Keon and found him to be a clever
gentleman, one of the firm of Me
Keon & Menken, who own and ope¬
rate a coffee saloon and restaurant.
Mr. McKcon stated to the reporter
that it was a fact that ho and Mr.
Beyle held one-twentieth of ticket
No. 53;4G!) which drew tho second
capital prize of §10C,300 in the last
drawing of the Louisiana State Lot
tery. He said that they had pur
chased the ticket about one week be
fore the drawing and had invested
often before. “The priza came in
good time, 1 ’ he said, “as I needed
tho money badly, as you know I have
had plenty of bad luck. You re
member that we were burned out
last fell, and I had no work and no
place to work at. After the fire we
had another misfortune, end that
was losing $300 in the recent bank
failure. I had almost given up, but
hearing of the old adage, ‘that the
darkest hours were just before day,’
I felt the truth of it keenly when I
saw by tho official list of drawing
that our ticket drew a valuable prize.
After congratulating Mr. McKcon
tbo reporter went to see Mr. J. J.
Boyle. Ho found Mr. Beyle to ka a
bookkeeper at a very popular houeg
in this city. The reporter asked was
it true that he had been the lucky
winner of a valuable prize. He said
fortunately it is true. I 4 bave bought
once or twice before and must say
thatT was a little surprised and glad
when my partner Frank McKeon
told roe- we had won. J have no
idea what I will do with my share.
I will use it to tho best advantage
possible.
Hearing from good authority that
Mr. Lyman H. Faith, a prominent
attorney, had been another of the
fortunate winners, a reporter was
sent to his office and found the gen
tleman there with head and hands
full of work. The reported stated
to him that he was told that ho had
won a five thousand dollar prize at
the last drawing of tho Louisiana
Sate Lottery. Mr. Faith laughed
and said the fact is that I was only
the attorney of the parties that won
the prizi, and as the attorney I col¬
lected the amount of the prize and as
attorney received my tees. The
that won the prizo is not rich, but
is able to get along, and tho five
thousand dollars will help things
lots these hot, dull days and I know
that the money will be judiciously
invested, some in Alabamy state
bonds, and some in real estate. Oh,
yes, the money ts c Heeled and safo
in bank, and if you desire it, I will
show you the bank book with the
ontiy, but I will not tell you who
the party or parties arc as they do
not wish their names known. It is
a very unusual tbiDg to employ an
attorney to collect prizes from the
Louisiana State Lottery, as the com
pany delights in paying all prizes
without rebate or discount. In this
particular case, however, the parties
were willing for the sake of secrecy
to fee an attorney in the matter, for
they know that professional etiquette
would prevent bis divulging the
name of hie client. The F.ret Xa
tional Bank of Mobile collected the
prize for Mr. Faith and the Southern
Express Company that of Messrs.
McKeon and Beyle—Mobile ( Ala.)

of trade of Griffin for the same rates

melon growers of Georgia asking
better facilities for handling the

matter had to be left open until

As to what will be the result of
request made by Griffin, none of
members ef the association seem

tion of the melon growers the
lar opinion seems to be that their
mands will be complied with,
that among the other requests
a reduction of 33^ per cent, will
allowed in the rate, and that in
sideration of th : s all freight will

shippers. The association,
some of its leading members,

What do yon think of the general
outlook? :
I can answer that question in a
very few words. No state that went
democratic in 1884 is doubtful this
year, except New York. New York
in its politics is different from the
politics of other states- It is ai
ways doubtful, but generally demo
cratie. It is, as I said, doubtful
this year, but the field will be com
pletely worked, and I think that it
will cast its vote for Cleveland and
Thurman.

M00NSHIM
Unsuccessful Attempt to Lessen In¬
discriminate Persecution.
Washingtom, Aug. 31.—(Special.)
•The House put s provision into the
sundry civil bill before it went to
the Senate which was intended to
lessen the indiscriminate persecution
which has long disgraced the enforce
ment of the internal revenure laws.
It was to the effect that no warrants
should be issued for violation of those
laws unless they were sworn out upon
the knowledge of the informants,
and that no cost should be paid by
the persons against whom warrants
were issued unless the charges were
proven. The Senate to-day amended
the House provision by leaving the
whole matter to the district attor¬
neys- As those officala are paid by
fees up to *6,000 annually, they will
of course be anxious to have a suf
ficient number of cases to insure
them that amount of salary or as
near it as possible. Thus the bill
as the Senate fixed it this afternoon
is not likely to afford much relief
from the wholesale and petty arrests
which are made under the internal
revenue laws.
