OF which is estimated as coming through the
School Board On the other hand we find
$4,000 certainly expended outside the coal
region, leaving $lS,42 appropriated to OBJ

mine our share of support, such as Removed
Gases, Jurors Fund, Outside Pensioners,
etc. 1t is safe TO say, however, that we do
not really get back hay of what remains in
the county but, putting 1t at that estimate,
we have for our share Sal ,213,50, while the
eastern part of the county gets $19,2l3.50.
We have here the astonishing fact of this
region paying fifty per cent. MORE Of the
revenue than the other half nf the county,
and getting back fifty per cent LESS! In
other words, We this year give the other
half of the county $4,000 for Its invest
ment of $4s, 900, and receive SAL 900 for our
investment of $71,O0l! BY thus paying
$4,000 lin round numbers) more and OBJ
tanning back $3SAOQ' less, this coal region
hses clearly and irrevocably $4,000!
Now, if anybody believes these figures
are manufactured let him become at once a
close student of the last Annual Levy.

TIoE.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, Jan. 16.-nuuors about the
city agree with the report last night that twenty
Republicans in joint convention will Tote for
Davis for the United States Senate, and ten for
.Washbu1n, leaving ffty-three tor Bamsey. Tho
Democrats generally talk Of running their own
candidate, and entertain hopes Of electing him.
Republicans aud Democrats, faw OF the latter
would vote for Ramsey. It is not impossible
that all differences between the Republicans will
be- compromised before Tuesday, when the joint
legislative ballot will be taken.
