TRIED FOR CoNlEMrr The civil Of
fcors Of Iowa county whom we mentions
ed last week AZ having been carried olt
10 Milwaukee to answer to the charge OF
contempt in not collecting the tax in
1870, returned Saturday Judge Dram
mond fined our City Council and Treas
urer 500 each and cost for which they
gave their individual notes payable in
50 days. The others were not tried, and
probably the court, feeling that its dig
nifty is yinGicated by the few hundreds
raised from Mineral Point, will proceed
no further in the matter of contempt
II there is law by which local officers
may be dragged thus before q federal
court, and punished without hearing,
when they had done all in their power
to obey the edict of the coRrt, perhaps
It's well that we should thus learn the
fact but if there is no law to warrant
such arbitrarily proceeding, as many be-
!icve, then Judge Drummond should
suffer We hear that it is intended to
appeal from the decision to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and learn
from the fountain head, whether or not,
we are thus completely at the mercy OF
Judge Drummoud and the bond>hoid.

MINERAL PoINT GUILTY 10 the Re-
nublcans of Mineral Point city and town
is directly chargahle the defeat of John
4 Jones and J. p, Smoker. Here these
two candidates ran more than 100 be-
hind the average of the Republican
ticket; or, TO express it differently, ocer
50 Republicans in Mineral Point, cast
their votes for Gilman and Read. To
these 80 Republicans we say; you are
guilty of treacherY TO principle, aud baye
pllyed the part q hypocritos. Claiming
to be Republicans, your votes show you
20 be practically void Of political r,inci-
ME and unworthy the name you falsely
bear. We're there the least ground for
pretense that Mr.. Gilman and Mr..
Z Read are better men, more honest, more
capable, or likely to make more efficient
officers than Mr. Jones and Mr. Smoker,
YOUR action would be justified. This
not being the case, however, there re
mains for you no excuse, and hereafter
Won have nc right to complain ut finding
yourselves counted as unworthy to be
received into the Republican fold but
assigned a place among those whom
Horace Greeley SO forcibly described as
4he Democratic Party
In the spring of 1869, John T. Jones
was defeated for the office of County
Judge, by the Republicans of Dodgcvile,
when the TRIBUNE, under the manage,
ment of Bliss x Son, very justly con-
demned that community. What then
applied to Dodgeville, now applies to
Mineral Point, and every true Republic
can here recognizes it as stigma. In
1869 the Chronicle attempted to justify
tnc action OF Dcdgevilie, bat the TRIBUNE
asks no consideration for the 80 recreant
Republicans of Mineral Point.

LOCAL MATTERS.

STEAM I'VE believe in enterprise. We be-
lieve in making effort after effort to push any
enterprise into a success, that has any good In
it for the community in which it may be
located. Every one of our towns people is
aware of the persistent efforts that have been
made to secure steam railway to Towsontown
from Baltimore, or some other place. Every
one who reads our paper knows how earnest
and persevering we have been in pushing the
measure as best we could with our pen, and We
are not yet weary of this work. Give US Swami
Lake, Lake Roland, Narrow Gauge. Hillen
Road or any other railroad that comes 30 US by
steam. Let the pick and shovel be set to work
at once and every endeavor that lay in our
power shall be exerted to its utmost to aid the
completion of the good work.
There are some devices that have not yet
been brought into service that might prove
very available in doing excellent service for
the enterprise. Let land owners give one or
two lots of land along the line, to the enterprise
on condition that the road is completed and on
the further condition that respectable houses
shall be built upon them when occupied, and
whatever other conditions may be considered
conducive to the welfare of the community
when the road is completed. Let the road then
offer free ticket for life over the road, to any
resident of the city who will build residence
upon it in compliance with the conditions OF
the original donation. This will at once build
up the lots so donated and other residents will
pe attracted 10 the locality. Then the road,
NJ. Ongh IL nas gwen tre.fsa~'~- = go
free ticket for life, has all the ..islee G. -.
family 10 make this good, besides the hauling
Of coal. lumber, produce, vegetables and other
commodities for the comfort and convenience
of the household
By this sort of management the railway
company and those most interested in its vel
fare can have the occupation of the building
sites along its line in their own hands. All
obnoxious occupants can be kept out of certain
localities and the land disposed otto those whose
occupancy of it will increase the value of pro
perty, attract those who are leaving the city
and seeking desirable localities for a county
residence.
This plan might be tried. Its failure can do
no harm. It's success would certainly be the
railroads success. Nothing would be more in
strumental in building up the material interest
of the road than this if it should prove a sue
cess. We should be pleased to have those who
feel an interest in the construction of any road
to the town, to give the public their views in a
Communication.
