doubt that the "Monitor" Boys are ready

Last Sunday quite number of fisher
men went out in the lake with their
boats to gather up the fish caughtin their
nets. AS the evening advanced there
was considerable anxiety felt for the
safety of some of the fisherman that
had failed to return. The evening was
pretty dark and in order to guide the
men in their missing boats to their home
signal lanterns were placed on the end
of the North Pier, the Bell on the Cath
Ole church was rung and a barrel of
coal tar was set on fire near the beach.
These measures proved successful and
safely guided the lost fishermen to their
homes. E.

greater length and more infinitely than
the subject required, in order to show the
reader that the Government of the Vii
lage which has beenunder Republicanrule
for may years, has been and still is con-
Quoted economically, and that the street
talk which few prominent democratic
politicians have INDUCED in within short
time to the effect that the Village taxes
were being doubled every year, has no
foundation whatever, but was only little
piece of strategy for political purposes
to divert the attention Of the public from
the extravagant and rascally use of the
peoples money by tho county Board,
which as is shown by the Trsasurer's Re
port has run the County $27, 900 in debt
Quite unwillingly have we been forced
to thus defend the Republican admins
tration in this village. In the controver-
sey regarding the extraordinary use of
the Poor Fund we have RETAINED from
saying a word in regard to democrats, but
our magnanimity has been treated with
scorn, and now we will certainly be justi-
fed in laying the blame at the door where
it belongs.

which is just as applicable to the business
men of this city, as to those of Gotham.
BE sure Of one thing; whatever you
have to sell, there are many people ready
to buy, even in the most depressed sea-
sons. Find them out; snow them your
wares; persuade them to buy of YOU
rather than of another. When BUYERS
are reluctant sellers must be active. It
u neither cheap nor sensible to sit still
behind your counter and wait for the
hustle Of trade to revive. When bust
ness is dull, that is the time to advertise.
In the first place, that is when you mos,

place, that is when people devote the

nonsensical from center to circumference.
Don't, entreat you engage his one horse

Sheahan $l5, for rape is sexual mystery

Hard In.

The following resolution was adopted
| by the County Board-all the members
voting for it excepting Mr.. Samuelson-
at their meeting last week
Whereas satisfactory evidence has been
furnished to the Board that the Mani
towoc Plot, a weekly newspaper pub
lished in the County OF Manitowoc. has
the largest bonafde circulation therein,
and whereas chapter lO3, general laws of
| 1866 makes it the duty of the clerk of
the Board of Supervisors to publish the
lists of all unredeemed lands in news
paper having the largest bonafde circu-
lation.
Therefore, the Board Of Supervisors of
the County of Manitowoc do order and
determine as follows:
Section l, The Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors is instructed to have the lists
Of all unredeemed lands county sale of
1867, and 1868, and Village sale of De-
cember 10, 1866 published in the Mani
towoc Pilot.
Our neighbor across the way is hard up.
Ever since election he has endeavored to
hit upon some plan by which he would
be enabled to receive at least portion of
the county printing. AT last, after
searching many days, for state law, that
gives the control Of the publication of
the tax lists into the hands Of the County
Board, he thought that the much covet-
ed treasure had at last been found, in
chapter 1913, laws Of 1866. This suppos-
ed treasure carried him away into ecstas-
les, and without stopping to read all the
sections of the chapter mentioned, he rush
ed to the members of theCountyB for
the purpose of obtaining their assistance
in caging the golden Bird" which, in
nocent souls that they are, resulted in
the passage Of the resolution quoted
| above
We have always been a little partial
towards the members Of the County
Board, and have given them on various
occasions little bit of friendly advice,
| and as they have reciprocated this gem
| crosby on our part in various ways-for
the last evidence of which we refer to the
resolution above-we viii again enlighten
them on a subject which our neighbor
was cruel enough to keep from them, and
who thus was the means of their appear
ing ridiculous in the eyes of their con-
stituents. The chapter which they quote
in the aforesaid resolution with so many
fougishes, also provides as follows:
''Section 3, The provisions of this act
shall extend to and be in force only IN Tie
Counties Of La Foyette and Narration. F."
So it will be seen that all their trouble
was for nothing.
Perhaps it is necessary for us to state
that the satisfactory evidence furnish
ed to the County Board that our cotem-
porary had the largest circulation, was
an affidavit from its publisher. As he
was the only individual consulted in the
matter, it shows how decidedly cool the
whole transaction was.

What Mike Mahoney charges to Cl0the
the Poor,

At the meeting of the County Board
last week Mr.. Mahoney, presented Bill
for goods furnished to the paupers at the
Poor Farm. 1t was for the purpose of
clothing the paupers preparatory to re-
turning them to the towns from which
they came. We understand that there
was just seven paupers at the farm, and
the small sum of $406. % Mr.. NJ. charged
for clothing the same In order to show
the readers what prices were charged for
the goods, we have taken the following
items from the Bill
To 2 extra double jackets(9S6. 90 81. 90
2 cashmere vests (05.5O HOO
20pounds smoking tobacco @50cts 1000
ii pair home made stockings 1875
Is skeins thread 225
1t is safe to say that all the charges in
the Bill are just about double what they
ought to be.
Mr.. Fuessenich informs us that when
the bill referred to above was presented
to the Board, they considered it an insult
to ask them to act upon land in accord
ance with this idea, refused to allow the
bill, but referred it to committee for in
vestigation. We are happy to be able to
give the Board credit for this much, even
if it is at the eleventh hour.
But we are inclined to the opinion that
if the TRIBUNE had not stirred up this
| kettle of fish," even the bill spoken Of
| would have been allowed without having
received the scrutiny that it did. The
TRIBUNE will be entitled to the credit of
saving to the county about 5000 on this
one bill alone, and before the year is out
the County Treasury will be many hun
dreds of dollars richer, and all because of
the firm stand taken to protect the inter
ests of the tax payers.

and some that no one really knew what
they did represent; all, however, tending

the evening, and the spectators as well
