APPROPRIATIONS feel that we
have been misrepresented in regard to
our position ON the question of giving
away the Village funds-though we had
supposed our views were fully known to
everybody. We have stated that we
thought the Village Board had no right
to give away 5000 for colors or any like
object, without vote of the people, and
even then it would be better for all con-
cerned if the money was raised by volun-
tary subscription so that no unwilling
person should contribute. 1t is very well
known that some two years ago ourCoun-
~ Board gaze array sums of money
amounting in the aggregate to many
thousands of dollars The TRIBUNE
was not silent about it. Week after week
the people of this county were shown
how the money went that was drawn
from them in the shape Of taxes We
even offered to pay our share of the cost
OF prosecuting those who had been so
lmmoderately generous with money which
did not belong to them. Now to be con-
sisteat with our course hitherto" and to
see a principle carried out which we
think Is right we say that not one dollar
| should be appropriated from our Village
Treasury except for the payment of some
thing, real, tangible and satisfactory, at
tanned True, some who have labored SC
assiduously to deplete the County Trea

cares. One thing is certain, ii We see &

use the money entrusted to their care, We
propose to tell Of it, not once merely

true, literal meaning is somewhat obscure.

We read one who acts absurdiy, Or

Of wisdom" and again: "One who acts
contrary to moral and religious wisdom !;
wicked person Reader, if you saw
a man loafing about the streets corners
a large portion of his time, doing SO lit

running in debt to his neighbors for the
common necessaries of. life, engaging
boys to do his work for him and then,
when they would work no longer without
pay, sending them of without dime
wonldn't you say he was acting absurd
" and contrary to the dictates Of wis

from his lips, were you to see him on the

FARMING IN MANITowoC County. =
Some may imagine that our farmers ale
unable to make a living; to such we wish
to say there are no better farming lands
in the State than can be found within
two hours ride of Manitowoc. Mr. Hi
ram 3icAllister last year, as we are in-
formed, sold 100 tons of hay at $40 per
ton; and this is but one item of his ex-
tensive and we'll regulated farm. Mr..
Martin Haywood cleared on his farm last
year 81 500. and sold the bare farm this
spring for $1,000. We could cite other
instances TO show that this is a good To-
cality for honest, enterprising men.

We learn from the Sheboygan pa
pers that dr. Frank Hoberg in attempt
ing to extinguish large hanging lamp
BY tanning it with his hat, was burned SO
badly, BY the explosion of the lamp, that
he died the same day. He is spoken OF
a highly esteemed young man. This
occurrence should remind us that con-
stans vigilance should be exercised
in the use Of kerosene lamps. The
iirst preventative of accidents is to be
snre that only good oil is used When
this preeaution is observed it viii be diff

FAIRBANKS SCALES. About fort,

FAIRBANKS SCALES. forty
years ago the Messrs Fairbanks invented
and began manufacturing these Scales,
and ever since then their business has
steadily and rapidly increased, and they
have kept far ahead of all competition.
During the last year they added largely
to their works, and their sales were very
greatly in excess OF any former year. This
fact is unusual, if not unparalleled, in the
history of inventions and business in this
country, and proves clearly that their
Scales are in all respects just what the
people want. ee
