We see a great many Chinese.
They go about dressed in their blue
pants and blouses, wooden shoes, and
long pigtails braided down their
backs. One of them, wishing to be-
come an American, cut off his queue;
his countrymen caught and beat him
most to death. The women do not dress
very different from the men. Their
hair which is waxed very stiff and
trimmed with flowers and big pins,
must have started our present styles,
for they put it up in that way, yet IL
is the same manner as always worn
for ages in China.

WITH SUPPLEMENT-.
THE OLD COUNTY BOARD SYsTEM.

There has been Bill introduced in the
Legislature providing for return to the
Old County Board System-each town in
the Couxy being represented in the
County Board
We are not advised how the system
which is now in force works in the South
ern and older counties of the State. but
as far as Manitowoc County is concerned,
lhe old system is much to be preferred.
The tax payers of this County have
learned to their sorrow the policy of Civ
ing TO few men so much power. One
single rogue as a member of the County
Board as it is now constituted can with
but little exertion, influence enough of
his colleagues to carry any measure he
sees fit, and as a result the tax payers of
the County have to bleed very freely. It
is much easier to obtain a majority in
Board consisting of seven members. than
it would be if composed of twenty-five,
as it would be in this county.
We are ready to admit that the old
system has its defects, but notwithstand-
ing all this, we know that the financial
condition of this County was in much
better condition during the old system,
than it is now. We know that hundreds
of dollars have been drawn from the
County Treasury which was little less
than an out right steal, and We are char
liable enough to believe that some of the
members, who voted for these measures,
were not correctly informed as to their
merits, and hence were induced to sup
port them.
Let the Bill which is now before the ler-
islature pass, and we believe the people
of this County will be benefited by it to
a great extent.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1869-01-28

w don t believe in fault finding to-
any very great extent, but our cotempo-
rary across the street has heretofore
blamed Us In all conceivable ways and on
all conceivable occasions Not exactly
out Of revenge, but because we think it
will do his soul good we will PROFOUND
question or two. First, then, why has
the editor of the aforesaid sheet no word
Of condemnation for the Poor Commits
sioners? Probably no man ia town knows
better how much actual aid the poor of
this county require than he, but if he
did not, the dozens of men who in the
past have been Commissioners have told
him that at least twice and doubtless
three times as much money has been ex-
pended the past year as was required
Then, we repeat, why does he not give
his voice and the influence of his
sheet In favor of the taxpayer? Can it
be that he has been bribed to keep silent
in the face Of such outrageous transactions?
Surely 1t cannot be that because the
Board who elected, and the Commission
ers themselves, were democrats, that he
now keeps silent! Such cannot be the
case for none have been more desirous of
having this matter aired, none have been
more ready to furnish Us reliable informa-
ton. than the leading democrats of this
locality. In fact several Of this class have
said in our presence 'If [ owned that
sheet Speaking Of the paper in question
I'd give those Commissioners such a
warming as they never had before 7"
And this, as the dullest mind must per-
ceive, is the proper course to take. Let
any one show US where Republican in
office has squandered the public money
and see if We don't haul him over the
Goals. Well, then, if his silence cannot
be attributed to political matters, as a
matter of course people will be led to
think he has been paid to keep silent or
has at least received some of the aid him
self which is about the same thing. We
would like to have every honest man in
the county give his voice in condemna-
ton Of this wholesale plundering of the
people which would at least have ten
dency to protect the Treasury In the
future.
