Democratic Administration in Bel
monI County.


The Belmont county people are groan'
ing grieyoGsly under the excessive taxa
ton which several years Of Democratic
rule has entailed on them. The rates in
different townships this year are from 2
U 800 per cent A correspondent writing
from ST. Clairyille 10 the GAINESVILLE In
teryri1< mentions the following cIses:
"a citizen Of town occupies for home
house valued, with all It's surroundings
at $7Gs, and owns three tracts Of land
one Of 70 acres timber land, 10 acres
without house or barn on ii, 100 acres
with very poor improvements. His ia1e77
amount 10 the small sum Of $92I91, and
no money 10 pay II with. A jOurneyma!h
printer owns house and !yi taAeI ms
year $75. A widow hdy CccupIeI .
house and lot valued at sjjJ. she MAKES 7,
her living by her labor, and has lA!!c1
for a half year to pay taxes, anu now
she must raise SO or slilcT the penalty
Plenty Of similar cases.
The St. ClaLrsYiIIe Chronicle says the
people over there in speaking Of their
taxes call il rent" The people in the
neigAborhood Of tue WarDock's Station
pike are especially indignant over the
enormous cost Of that road. 1t was s..
,imated to cot somewhere about eight
thousand dollars, yet no less than ij3,2sIr'
~ has been paid Tor it, 1t was To be paid
in five years. This years instAllment is
the last and amounts to one and Is half
per cent on Ill the property in that dis
triCt.
The EHttrprtAe says that on the evening
Of Thanksgiving day, the Wamock pike
ugeren held a meeting al the Station
and appointed committee to look after
and inquire into the WY in which this
t532siO9:had been expended. 1t Is not
strange that the people Of Belmont At the
recent election voted for change Of nd.

SPARE THAT" BILL /!

To The Editor Of the Kenne6ee Journal:
noticed in the journal of Monday one
sided discussion in the House of Representa-
tives, of the merits Cor demerits) of the bill
an 'Act to authorize the city of Hallowell to
aid in the construction of a steam saw mill in
said city;" and l was greatly surprised that
no voice was raised in its favor. do not
propose to discuss a question which properly
belongs to legislative consideration, but
would simply suggest that the arguments in
favor of indefinite postponement" were
rather "far fetched" and not particularly
relevant to the point at issue. The principle
of legislative jurisdiction in the premises has
been so definitely settled by former legisla-
lures, that it would seem manifestly unjust to
exclude from its benefits the good old CITY of
Hallowell-a city which has shown record
of progress for the past decade, second to no
locality in the State. A bill based on a petit
ton of large majority Of our business men,
