We trust that the people Of every

their Representatives are pledged against
the scheme which win certainly BE-
brought before the next Legislature. Of
enacting . Law under which the State
guarantees the payment Of all Rsilrosd
Bonds voted BY the various Counties.
The Counties which would have every.
thing to gain and nothing to lose BY this
operation. sre slresdy busy fixing the
triggers. and have voted additional
Bonds, With the intention Of making the
people Of the whole Ststs stand good for
them. By this scheme. certain Counties

Gossfiss would hsvs to sbooIdsr their
eqaai share Of responsibility for the ex-
peases. Lsavsnvorth County is in debt
20 the smount of millions for Railroad
Bonds; there 10 loud talk Of swindling
snd stesling. and rspudistion is openly
advocated. If the State assumes the
payment Of these Bonds, oil the Counties
will thus step in and tighten the burden
On Le,veuworth's shoulders. There are
other Counties deeply involved. which
would come in for the aid of the Couu.
ties that have kept themselves solvent
Tbsss Counties are oil ssgsr for the STATE
scheme. and will send up members iu
favor Of it. The question is. will there
Be enough Counties not 10 the "ring.

fraud? II the two Roads through Doni

Bosds. she had better pay that smoun
for her own Roads. than to 90 into th'
State scheme. and stand responsible for
portion Of the millions issued BY othe
Counties.
Our Constitution says the State shsl
never become . party in carrying OF
works Of internal Improvement. 1t i
claimed BY the friends Of this measure
that the State will not become party IL
carrying them on. but will simply becom'
security for the payment Of the Bonds
This is merely whipping the devil arount
the stump. II . man goes security OF

will become security. and will have the
money to pay. 1t will add ct least el0..
600. 900 to our State debt. and increase
the State tax Q proportionate amount.
The only safe plan is to see that our
Representatives, do all in their power to
defeat the gigantic swindle.
