We would suggest, a remedy for'hs evil!
the passage Of an act 10y the Legislature, prohi-
biting the collection otu single dollar by the
Borough authorities, until the accounts Of the
previous year have been audited aud pubi-hcd--
SO that the Taxpayers can see how their money
has been expended.
In the next place, make II penal offence In

REMEMBER YOUR FRIENDs.-When
the dark war of rebehion rolled over our
land, the German people generally gave
the Republican upholders of the Uniou
their friendship and assistance.
When the despot, Napole, n, declared
war upon Germany in order to revent the
Union Of the German States, the Repub-
licans CT this country showed their SYM
pathy for the defenders of Fatherland by
the expressi MS Of their papers, speakers,
aud generous donations OF moDey to the
German Sanitary Society. The Germans
and Republicans are naturally friends aud
allies, but record shows that the Democ-
rats, as a body, are hostile to Germans and
to the cause of their native land. As the
Germans across the sea got even on their
enemies ut, Seoan and Paris, those who
reside in California will have an oppor
tunity to get even on their opponents
here on the 9th OF this mouth. Germans !
Stand by those who stood by you, aud re-
pudiate thosex who took sides with the
enemies OF your latherland. When the
French German war ragged the Republicans
of Shasta county came out like men and
subscribed Literally for the benefit Of the
German Sanitary Fund, but the Democrats
generally refused to give anything, but
some OF them sneaked around and subscrlb-
ed to the French Fund On the sly Now
they would like the German vote LOT their
party. Will they get it? We hardly
think they will.

might be successfully used in the
