CnnecessarY Solicitpde.

We waded through two and half col.
ann dirge in Tuesday Issue of the Two
Rivers Chronicle last evening. Our 6rs,
impressions we're that Deacon Smith lad
paid PEN" lthe correspondent t. om this
city) ten cents n line for the production,
having on previous OCCASIONS shown bis
kindly natsre towards this city by the
eQualizatioRs Of taxes when one Of the
county Board.
But remembering that the Editor Of the
Chronicle about three weeks since
''broke OF" sounding the same alarna to-
wit: pc General Offices Of the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore and Western Railway have
been removed to Milwaukee, and the
PRESS of tlsis city were invited to jim IN
the chorus
We did not take especial notice at the
time whether our brethren of she city press
sounded bugle note in response or not.
knowing as We did the peremptory- orier
that removed the much npoted sc rneral
Ofhces" to Milwaukee, it wa. better az
explained until the danger bad passed,
when the Ger eral Offices would be again
established at t old location sithia our
city limits. In view Of tie fac, however,
that the correspondence allI ieI to, mas
be repeated we feel u incumbent upon u.
To state tie facts in the case and thus i.Iiay
all fears.
The facts frankly stated are these Ou
Mayor and City Counsel ever vigi;ans that
fe-tiience, famine or hydrophobia sfaI
not have lodginent in our midst, nic
with that intuisiye Knowledge that PASSES
our understanding, they rte pated he sns
tanning OF the Potter Act ty Julse Drum
mCnd's Court, and communicated their {, ar,
to u, asking our advice.
Being seedy looking duck, in addition
to having advocated the Granger move, We
felt the necessity of getting their Offices re
moved from our city. We advised then
immediate removal, citing the fact tha
those eminent medical men in n. Y. CT,
bad conclusively proved that bydIoph. bis
could be inoculatei without the leas
appearance of froth or rabies.
Feeling the insecurity Of our citizens af
ter the decision, the CITY Council served
notice on the Railroad Officials to "get,
and they got. If the U. s. Supreme Court
should reverse, Judge Drummon's decision
they may return Immediately, if no,
they should remain IN Milwaukee and ex
pend their toothsome poison on ANIsauke
ans, who would not v1te dollar for III,
Lake Shore during irs construction. Ouu
readers nee1 have no fears that our city,
future is in danger, or that PENS" pre-
dictlons will be realized. On the othel
hand, the cautious foresight of the CIT,
Board will attract many discreetcar italist,
to settle among US, and at the worst W,
can cite the comforting editorial assurance
in the same issue, that Manitewac sis no,
dead, She only sleepeth."
