EDS TRIBUNE

LIDS btN
january 18th Mds. to Poor House
pr order of Commissioner $2I4 Sc. So
reads one of the naany items in Mike
Mahoney's account against the Poor
Fund. Mike, what is the definition OF
the word merchandise or of what did
the particular bill of mds. consist? Was
t Grape by Sheehan" crackers by Mrs.
Thurston'' or eau dc cologne for the poor
devils generally? Tell us Mike! your
fair name as Commissioners rests apon it /;
and In this connection allow me TO ask.
Did Sheehan commit the rape tmentlan-
in your bIll) to oblivion or did he deposit
it in soil that will yet yield hundred
fold? This is an important question and
demands a speedy reply.
Truly, gentlemen, "a man may smile
and smile and be villain ;" and these
orders and accounts be they warm
ished ever so nicely may be rotten within
Who knows but half the names pub
lished are fictitious, and who can tell but
the merchandise consisted of Yankee
Notions instead of substantial necessar-
les OF life? is there anything plain or
tangible in their accounts or proceedings
from beginning to end ? Nothing: and
we are left in sea of bewiderment and
doubt as to the expenditure of our Tbir.
teen Thousand Dollars.

with, and their services engaged on con-
dition that the citizens of Manitowoc shall
give sufficient encourageinentan support
to those already provided for, to satisfy
the Board that the expenses of full
course of lectures can be realized from the
sale of tickets.
The success of the Association so far,
has greatly exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of its friends. In less than
six months from its first projection it had
obtained its charter, projected its organ
ization, almost built anew its library
building, placed nine hundred and twenty
three standard books upon its shelves for
the use of it's members, supplied It's
reading room, which is free to all, with
the leading newspapers and periodicals
of the country, aud is day free from
indebtedness with small balance in the
Treasury
1t has library worth at least 1900. 90
Fixtures ana furniture 10000
heal Estate 22OO 90
Making total value of its
property at least $1,000. 90
The Gberality Of our citizens IN thus
building up in so short time, an institu-
ton so well calculated for he moral and
intellectual advancement OF this commu-
nifty, is beyond all praise Still they must
remember that the permanent success OF
the Association is dependent upon their
liberal support in the future 1t is yet
i'll its infancy. To meet its current ex-
penses, and supply the library with Sc
lections from the new publications which
are being issued from the press, will re-
Guire funds, considerably in excess OF the
present revenues. Unless those revenues
are increased by additional memberships
there must be deficiency. To meet
that deficiency If it comes, we shall have
to ap zeal again to that generosity which
has placed the association in its present
prosperous condition. While our citizens
have done, and are doing very much toI
the support of the Association, it is well
to be reminded that one half of the prop
erty of the Association is the free dona-
ton OF one man, who is not resident Of
Manitowoc, and who can derive no direct
benefit from it. He viii receive the re-
ward which inevitably follow noble and
generous action, but the direct benefits
are ours exclusively IF the institution
is literally sustained and properly adj
ministered those benefits will exceed all
calculations. Manitowoc would be blind
to It's own interests to let such an under
taking fail for want of generous support.
| desire in conclusion, to express to the
members OF the Board Of Directors, my
sincere thanks for the assistance which
has been constantly given to me in she
discharge of my duties as President of
the Association. [ haye at all times re-
ceived the hearty cooperation Of each
one of them. Upon the vice president,
as the agent of the association in solicit
ing subscriptions, and upon the Secretary
and Treasurer, in the discharge of the
duties Of their respective Offices, has fall
en- a large share Of the labors Of the
Board of directors during the last year
The sfiic ent manner in which heir sew
eral duties have been performed, entities
them to the LASTING gratitude Of the Al

We are indebted to Mr.. James An
derson of Two Rivers for the following
''fsh story" 1t seems, last week, the
La Fond brothers went to their gill net
which had been out two days only, and
took UP 200 fish, the smallest weighing
eight and the largest twelve lbs, the
average being considerable over ten
pounds, thus making over one ton of fish
at one haul. Only eight white fish were
taken, the bulk being trout. The haul
cleared over 500. Pretty profitable
fishing for winter time. As might be
expected such wonderful success has
started all the fishermen in the vicinity
and they are busy at work.

THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. In

brary Association to which we invite the
especial attention OF our readers. It ex-
hib;ts in a concise form theegreat work
that has been accomplished for the cult

which concerns this Library.

Our cotemporary across the way has
adopted the old Yankee style of answer
ing question by asking one. As we
have answered the question ne propounds
to US more than once to the satisfaction
of all sensible people we don't consider it
worth while to take any further notice of
what he has to say on the subject. 1t is
a one-horse institution anyhow and but
few people pay any attention to what it
saws.

Some weeks ago there was suit
brought by the Brennan family in the
name of the State against the Classons
and large number of the residents of
Classonville were brought to town, among
them Mrs. Classon and, we believe. two of
her daughters No one was found guilty
but a number on both SIDES, were bound
over to keep the peace. We were in
formed that all concerned were, and SO
that neither Mrs. Classon or her daugh-
tiers were bound over simply because they
had donenothing wrong. Weare pleased
to make this correction.

! have never seen pair equal to the
work required in this part Of the town
after Il glorious snow storm glorious
in all but the path making, particularly if
that path must be found by the unaided
exertions of a weak pedestrian 1t is
real necessity that will start me out after
one Of those delightful storms, when,
were my ideas of being buried alive not
so vivid, should enjoy a stroll, for / love
the beautiful snow-the beauties, but
not the dangers. Whittier pretty little

charm forever, for me, after the unpleas-
antness ofbeing sn0ac 5omdin Alanitowoc.
How agreeable it would be to the ladies
if the gentlemen would exert themselves
one iota more, for their convenience, and

THE Presbyterian Banner speaks in
the following complimentary manner
of the nominees of the Democratic
party, for Governor and Judge of the
Supreme Court:
ain 1868, Mr. Packer founded at
South Bethlehem, a scientific school,
under Episcopal control, calIedthe Le-
high University, and enclosed it with
tract of land fifty acres in extent,
and with 100000 in money, and it is
believed he intends giving an addi-
tional $500, 900, making one million of
dollars. lie is said to be a man of
most exemplary private life, who dis
penses his charities with most liber-
al hand"
"Ever since Mr.. Pershing was ad-
mitted to the bar he has resided in
Johnstown, where he has met with
complete success, and has always main
tanned the highest reputation for in
tegrity and Christian character. He is
an able lawyer. He
is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church
of Johnstown, and superintendent OF
its Sabbath School. For four years he
occupied prominent place in the
Pennsylvania Legislature, and no
tongue has dared to whisper the
slightest intimation of corruption a
gainst him.

THE majority for Governor SENTER
in Tennessee is only 10000

A NEGRO orator named LawtOn
made speech st. Louis a short time
since, in which he took the grounds of
the superiority of the black over the
white races, and declared that the day
was not far distant when the negro
would be the debating race of the
country. This African prophet only
reiterated well known dogma of the
Radical party, who declare that the
negroes are better than the Irish and
Dutch" just now the Radical papers
have partially forgotten their ebony
protegeS, and are exhausting all their
spare energy and ability in establish
ing the superior points of the Chinese.
The newly discovered race of men
with tails are worthy of some consid-
Grafton at the hands of the Radical
journalists. They are clearly superior
to white men in caudal arrangements.
They can get stall holtn on these
men, which ought to be very safe
one.

ASA PACKER is by trade house car
penter, and worked at the business
many years. Having been labOring
man, man who was not afraid nor
ashamed to use his hands at honest la
Dor, he appreciates the wants and ne
cessities of Iaboring men, and is in full
sympathy with every movement for
the advancement of the interests of la

ASA PACKER.-Th Democratic
candidate for Governor is the richest
man in the Commonwealth. He is re-
puted to hold upwards OF twenty
millions of property, Nor did he ac-
quire this fortune by trick or chicane-
ry, but in legitimate and honorable
ways. In his own town of Mauch
Chunk the rumors of the street, which
the rules of legal evidence esteem the
best criterion of mans character, do
not implicate him as having made de-
ceitful or otherwise discreditable gains.
He demonstrated, moreover, that he
knows how to put money to higher
uses than to personal or family graft
fication and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. He has
invested largely in public improve
ments and given princely sums for ed
ucational endowments.
In all these particulars he may well
be taken as IA model by all men into
whose laps the wheel Of fortune has
poured abundantly. Self-possessed and
suave, he has not been spoiled by his
financial successes, but remains as
plain and unpretending as when he
wrought as carpenter for daily wages.

OUR NOMINEES.

We place to-day at our mast head
the names of Hon. Hiram Findlay, OF
Somerset, as Our candidate for State
Senator, and Hon. Joseph B. Noble, of
Bedford and Capt. Thomas Sipe, of
Fulton. as candidates for the Legisla
ture. No better men could have been
selected to lead the Democracy to vic
tory.
Hon. HIRAM FINDLAY, is man
whom the Democracy of Somerset
delight to honor. His name was pre-
scented and his nomination urged on ac-
court of his sterling integrity and his
peculiar fitness for the position to
which the people of this district are
sure to elect him in October aext.
Hon. JOSEPH B. NOZZLE, one of the
candidates for the Legislature, is one
of natures noblemen. His very name
is tower of strength in this county.
Bedford county has, on more than ore
occasion, attestedhe appreciation ofhis
worth by selecting him to fill impor-
tant positions. And the same people
will again rally in their might at the
opportunity they now have Of sending
an honest man to the legislature.
CAPT. THOMAS SIPE, of Fulton, the
other nominee, is a gallant soldier of the
late war. He served with distinction
in the 158th Regiment Pa. Volunteers,
and is not only dearly beloved by his
late comrades in arms, but by all who
enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance. ''LittIe Fulton" will roll up a
majority for Captain Sipe that will as
tonish some people.
This district can and will be redeem
ed by the election of the above ticket.
With such men as representatives at
Harrisburg, the shameful corruption
and bribery which now stalks about at
monday, in all its hideousness, will
find no resting place in the halls of leg
islation. Their very names are
shield against intrigue and corruption.
Retrenchment and reform will find in
them strong advocates, and honesty and
integrity, manly defenders.

LAST year the radicals promised, in
their Chicago Platform, on which

MIA, by rushing through the ratitica-
ton of the Fifteenth Amendment, and
refuse to let the people vote on i'll
What perfidy is this! Was there ever
any thing so bold and brazen as the
treachery of the radical leaders in this
matter? Meanwhile, it must be re-
membered that GEARY sent a message
to the Legislature urging the prompt
ratification of the Amendment by that
body.

Boatwell and the Ariah h.aelleaI clerl

B0utwell and the ArifhneficnH Clerk.
The correct sum of the public debt,
August /, 1869, was $2.662, 900, ,0OO.-
The following colloquy will show how
it was figured down to $2,4sl ,Q0o, 900 !:
Boutwell, Deduct q, 100000 of 6 30
bonds loaned to the Pacific road. The
debt, 50, 4Sl 900, 900, is too high !.
Clerk deduct them? They
are Government bonds, and as much a
part of the debt as any other. But
here, goes. Deduct SCI, 900, 900. Re-
suit, $2,6Ol 10000
Boutwell-Not low enough. De
duct that $l26, ,O00, 900 cash in the treas
ury.
Clerk Why deduct that? This
money is not available for the pay
ment of the bonded debt. The law re-
stricts the sinking fund to $25,000,000
a year. Besides, there are heavy cash
payments awaiting to be made, and
part Of this money belongs to the
Smithsonian and Indian Trust Funds.
However as we only part with it on
paper, here goes. Deduct $I26, 600, 900.
Result, g, 2,I74, 900, 900.
Boutwell, low enough yet. De-
duct the So, 900, 900 bonds in the sink
ing fund, and the premium and inter-
est on them.
Clerk-Of course you know this is as
Objectionable as any of the rest but
here goes. Deduct $27 ,O00,O Re-
suit s., ,447 100000.
Boutwell-now you have got too low.
The people will not swallow so large a
decrease. Add on the "a ,000, 900 of ac-
crued interest.
Clerk This is the sharpest trick of
all Well, here goes. Add $4,000
900. Result, 81, ,481 100000.
Boutwell, (musing)-Let me see;
81, 48l 200, 900 viii show a decrease
since last month of $S,O00,0OO. Yes,
think that will do. 1t shows nice
deduction, and the people will not take
the trouble to ascertain what fraud it
