Grant County Finances.

Our readers are referred to the report OF
the Finance Committee, adopted by the
Board of Supervisors. 1t is an important
document, because it shows at a glance
how the County Finances stand. The
expenditures have been large the past year
the Now Jail costing $4,000, besides
sundry deficiencies Of past years which for
mer Boards neglected to provide for. The
Board of this year deserves much credit for
one act; we refer to that authorizing as
much tax to be collected as the Board ap-
propriated, besides, enough to pay Jurors
for their services. This will raise County
orders to par value and make them equiv
alent TO gold and silver. The effect Of this
act has already made County orders better
than paper money among our business
men. The day of specializing in County
orders by our local land agents is past, we
hope forever. How much better than for
those rendering services for the County to
sell their orders at 10 to 20 per cent. dis
count

MUsK-WHAT Is 1T.-This well known
scent is imported from China, Bengal and
Russia. 1t has a bitterph and somewhat
acrid taste, and in color resembles dried
blood. This scent is obtained from the
musk deer, and possesses a most penetrat-
ing and diffusive odor, rather agreeable
when feeble, but when concentrated it is
decidedly offensive; SO diffusive is its pow
er that a few grains will scont a room for
years, and it never seems to fade in
strength. Tonquin musk is the most es-
teemed. Pod musk is the natural bag
containing the musk, and each one weighs
about six drachms, having in each about
eight scruples Of pure musk.

Shall State Taxes be paid in Paper or Gold

SH
1t will be seen that the late County
Board instructed the County Treasurer and
Town Ireasurers, to receive Wisconsin
bank currency for State taxes. The coun-
ty Treasurer gives notice that he will re-
|ceiye nothing but gold and silver coin, and
presents the law on the subject. He there
fore refuses TO be Instructed, as he thinks,
TO depart from the law. The Co. Board
passed the instruction almost unanimous
y.
There will be various opinions about this
matter, but we think the Legislature is the
proper authority to change the law. We
should regret to see the law changed by
the legislature.
A curious case is here presented: jist
at the time when the people in all parts
of the United States are seriously talking
of dispensing with paper money and re-
sorting to gold and silver, the Grant Co.
Board Of SupervisorS-rep esenting a pop
~ulation that has supported a hard curren-
cy for twenty years, and the only gold and
silver people in the United States, have
suggested that hard money lie dispensed
with and paper money adopted! The cir
cumstance is without a parallel, except IN
the Dubuque issue of shiaplasters!
Of co rse, if the County Treasurer of
Grant County pays the State taxes in pa
per, the Stale Treasurer will also pay hin
the School fund for this County in paper.
It would bring us directly into a paper cur
rency-in spite Of our miners, smelters and
the prejadices Of our people against banks
If cur people want a paper currency
let them go into it during flush times, ant
not when paper is rotten, banks rotten an
only gold and silver sound.
