PROF. STEELE'S LECTURE.

The first Lecture of the course under
the auspices of the Library Association
was listened to at the Court House last
Saturday evening by very intelligent
and highly respectable audience. There
were not as many present as we anticipa-
ted seeing but we expect there will be a
better turnout hereafter We are glad
to state. however, that the lecture, in a
financial view was a success to the Asso
ciation. The subject ''Our New Clviliza-
ton was treated in mastery man
ner. The speaker defined the word civil
zation, and enlar sed upon the benefits
conferred upon us as a people by the adj
vantages derived from it. He thought
ours the newest and best of all civiliza-
tons IN the world; however he charac-
terized the political corruptions, which
prevail to such an alarming extent in
New York, as the most dangerous evils
with which we have to contend He tho't
that greater educational facilities were
needed, and that the ignorance which
existed in some states absolutely criminal
lie made many very neat hits, and fully
satisfied his audience as to his capacity,
and genius. We hope we may have the
privilege of listening to him again at
some future day.

It is neat in appearance and Reod- able in

Good. No small country paper can hope
to keep pace with the large dailies
in furnishing political matters and for

furnish that which VIII be of interest to
the home reader. and when paper does
this the people are shortsighted indeed if
they do not give it cordial support, for
nothing brings in settlers so fast as
sprightly Eht0priSe-ing journal. John
says he is democratic, and will so express
himself but he will be glad to hear from
any Of his readers at any time on any sub

the truest sense Of the term. Well we
hope our old friend may meet with all
the success his most saEgaine expectations
have led him to anticipate. We hope
he will find as many true friends in hi
new field as he leaves here in his boyhood

THE POOR FUND.
Report OF the Poor Commissioners to
the County BOARD.

We are finally enabled to give to our
readers report of the expenditures dur
ing the year 1868, as made by the Poor
Commissioners to the County Board. To
be sure there is still a great deal in the
dark, but nevertheless it will throw some
light on the subject and about all that
can be obtained 1t shows that the
Commissioners charged over one thousand
dollars for their valuable services,
which only few years ago cost less than
one hundred. 1t also shows that Mr..
Bach received eighty dollars as Clerk, and
Mr.. DAIMLER forty dollars for services,
and the people will never know for what
services In addition to this there are
many little items thrown in occasionally
which have very significant look and all
of which go to show that the Commits
sioners worked diligently to make the
expenses as large as possible without
stealing outright from the pockets of the
people. The following is the report.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1869-01-21

TAxEs The TRIBUNE says that the
people complain Of high taxes, and seek
to lay the blame on the democrats. Why
don't the TRIBUNE state that one hdG OF
the high taxes have been levied by the
radical Village Board?
A little honesty would not hurt it
Nord Hesten.
A''little honesty is just what is wanted
and that at the hands of the N0rd- aUesten.
Why did not our German cotempory tell
its readers the cause of the large village
tax for this year? The Nord-acesten knows
very well that there was no village tax
raised last year; it knows very well that
the interest on the old rail road bonds
has not been paid for three or four years !;
it knows very well that in order to meet
these liabilities the village tax for this
year is larger than usual But this is not
the result of extravaganza as the Nord
'ocsten would like to have its readers be-
licve. All these facts are well known.
And why not tell the readers of the
Nord 1cesten the whole truth?
But the fact of it is the Nord uetcn
has to make little show towards defend
ing the extravaganza of its democratic
friends For il is by their generosity that
it is allowed to see the light of day. If
it were not for the little donation of
about two thousand dollars year at the
hand Of the County Board, for publishing
tax list which the Germans say is not
necessary and consequently 7indle, it
would not be so anxious to defend what
it knows to be wrong 1t has received
nearly scuen thousand dollars, in less than
four years from the county treasury. OF
course under such circumstances, the
NorI-,cesten must make an occasional eff
fort in defending the extravaganza OF the
men who so generously donate toward its
support.
