THE CHEAPEST AND BEST FAMILY PA
PER IN THE LAND.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is emphatically the Peo-
pies Advocate. 1t is opposed to monopolies,
1t has interests alliances apart from those OF
the great public TO whose friendship and patroh-
age it is indebted forhe measure of prosperity 1t
CHIcAGo> TRIBUNE is, that 1t always boldly takes
theINITIATIVE on important public questions,
ands waits for time and reflection among the peo-
pie to prove that it is right.
THE ISSUES.
It seems to be morally certain that, with the ex.
tincton of slavery and its adjuncts, and the rati
lating to the Public Debt, Taxation and the Cur
rency be ruling and governing the issues upon
which the county viii be divided. It is proper,
therefore, to indicate the views Of those questions
which the TRIBUNE will maintain and defend 1t
holds
! l. That an irredeemable and fuctuating cur
rency is the most expensive, injurious and OPP
pressive form of circulating medium for all
ofpeople, excepting only the spectators and stock
>. That tfis credit 81 the nation istha most val
liable possession, and that the efforts of the gov
eminent should be constantly directed to the i'm
provement of it's credit to the end that it's bonded
debt may be refunded at lower rate of interest
/ s. That, with the restoration of the public cred
! it, the business of banking should be made free,
subject to the safeguards which are now or may
4. That all taxes imposed upon the people
should be adjusted solely with view to the rails
ing of revenue for the government, and that there
should be a material and speedy reduction in the
existing rate of taxation, both under the interna
revenue and the tariff systems.
/ AS A NEWSPAPER
The TRIBUNE claims pre-enainence an,oao Western
journals. 1t expends more money for news thar

porters equal in number and intelligence to thos
of any New York paper, and by liberal use O

Proceedings of the City Coun
Gil, the Mandamus, and
the City Debt

& twill be seen by the proceedings OF
the City Council which will be found in
another column that the Council has or
dered the levying and collecting of tax
of near SIS, 600 in obedience to the man
date of the u. S. Circuit Court for
Wisconsin. It will also be seen that the
CITY Council has employed Webster and
Lowell as counsel for consultation here.
We are not advised as to the intended
future action ofthe City Council or of
the people. The employment of Counsel
by the City Council would indicate an
intention to defend the rights of the city,
and perhaps delay if not defeat the col
lection of the tax. It seems to US howev-
or that the Council must be aware by this
time that the collection of the tax, though
it may be delayed for time, cannot be
defeated And we think the Council
acted wisely in levyiDg the tax. And
though it is hard for the people to pay
the tax, if $18,0 900 was all of the city in
debtedness it would be comparatively of
but little consequence
But when it Is known that the obliga-
tions against the city amount to some
100000 and that it is beyond the power
of. the people to pay it however willing
they might be, the important question
arises: What is to be done under the
circumstances Two things seem quite
evident to US. The City cannot by law
free itself from the obligations against it.
The people have not the means and are
not able to pay the Indebtedness. Of the
city. What then can be done? This is
for the city and the city s creditors to de-
eide. The sensible course would be to
compromise.
Some years agoi it was said, and we be-
lieYe truly, that the city Indebtedness
could be settled for 100000 in cash.
Then it was thought by many that the
cations against the city, and the people
probably would not voluntarily have rails
edsa much less sum to- clear the. city Of
Indebtedness. Now the case is different
The U. S. Courts sustain the indebtedness
and the State Courts, acknowledge that
the decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States are final. Under all the
circumstances the course which wisdom
would seem to dictate, both on the part
of the city and the city's creditors, would
be to compromise. But how compro
mise could be brought about we are not
at present prepared to say, or even to sugs
plan. So we leave the whole subject
for fut are consideration and would conf
mend it to the city, the people, and the
creditors, to act considerably, judiciously,
and wisely, in view of all the circumstan-

A Visit to the High School

Last Friday afternoon we visited the
Kenosha High School in accordance with
an arrangement made with Judge Van
Wyck to meet him at the School if we
could. 1t was our first visit to any of the
Public Schools during the present term
and since the High School has been under
its present Teachers. Being Friday after.
noon the time was devoted to oratorical
exercises. The declaiming aud reading
were well performed, and The School ap.
peared well-never better, if as well, at a
first visit under any Teachers. Judging
from what we saw and heard of Scholars
and Teachers, and from the remarks OF
the City superintendent, Judge Van Wyck
we should think the Scholars were max.
ing good progress
The greatest deficiency we saw was in
there not being Scholars enough to fill all
the seats. In this respect there was de.
ficiency, but whether from the standard OF
admission being too high, deficiency OF
Scholars of suitable qualifications, or other
causes, we are not informed. We trust
however that the cause is of such nature
that lis not einsurmeuntable, and that
whatever it is, it may be removed. And
that the School may goon prospecting and
to prosper until it reaches a standard oil
excellence it has never yet attained. a
