The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-11-11

THE London Morning Post of October
% has a Berlin dispatch saying the de-
preston of trade is felt so keenly by the
industrial classes that the Government
has been requested, as means of pre-
venting acute distress, to resort to the
measure successfully adopted in the last
two wars, namely, the establishment of
loan banks. The Government has not
as yet shown much inclination to accede
to the request. Serious distress is anti
cipated among the industrial working
classes during the coming winter, and
apprehensions are also entertained of a
crisis in financial circles.
The same paper also says Russian COR
respondents to German newspapers give
distressing accounts of unparalleled failure
of this years's harvest. Never before it
is asserted, has a failure been so general
in comprehensiveness with regard to
crops affected. Russians are still fami-
liar with distress resulting from failing
crops from their experience of the Sam
aria famine That, however, was mere
ly q local famine the present is general
The entire cultivated zone is deprived of
its expected harvest. From Orel to the
Crimea, and from TTambon to the Pod
DISK it is the same tale, and there is no
prospect for help, for there is no one to
help. All are groa5,ing under the same
load. In other years if there is failure
of crops, it attacks only one species, be it
cerals, or roots or grass but this year
all the crops have suffered alike.

The negroes of Georgia, being I'M

sale emigration to South Carolina, where
the race predominates. Already several
thousand acres of land have.bee obtain

ted that at least ten thousand negroes
will leave Georgia alone and colonize in
the Palmetto state, while others are con-

race problem may yet be settled by the
voluntary colonization of the blacks in
one or two of the more southerly states.

the best hardened, aud the best running
plows ever offered for the consideration Of

reputation. The Buford gang and sulky
plows are admitted to be the very best ever

have carried the plows beyond the possibil-

Public Robbers.

IF we could find one Republican Office
holder who did not act upon the principle
that it is neither crime or -a..sin to rob
the peoples treasury we should be glad
to make his name public. Right on the
heels Of our exposure Of the robbery of our
town treasury comes bill from Mr.. %. B.
Knox, before the county board of super
visors, for an old debt he had against
Frank Smealon. before Frank died.
Franks remains had to be buried at public
expense, but he was not pauper, in his
lifetime-he managed to keep out Of the
poor house. in some way. But Knox
probably thought he could slip his bill
through without detection, as bill was to
be allowed by the county for the burial, SO
he got somebody to slip in his account
for $25 for two collins he sold Frank,
in which to bury his children. Sup'r
Kerr, of Black Hawk, FS''smelled a
rat, " and he brought out the fact, public
~, before the board. that the collins were
sold to Frank during his lifetime, and that
Knox had no more claim on the county
for payment of the account than he had
on The Methodist church. And Sup'r
Kerr took occasion to free his mind in re-
gard to the attempt to rob the people Of
this county by the allowance Of illegal
bills. OF course the bill was rejected. a.
Mr.. Knox knew that be had no claim
on the county for its payment, and
that it would be fraud on the
treasury if he got it allowed Every
man who had an unpaid account against
Frank had as good claim against the coun.
ty as Knox had. There are good many
people who would be glad If the county
would pay the claims they have against
worthless, or deceased, or absconding par.
ties. THE ARGUS Office has quite little
bill against Frank Smealon. but it never
conceived the. idea of trying to slip il
through the county board and make the
people pay it. .~
Could Mr.. Knox conscientiously make
osth that he furnished those collins for tbs
county? We reckon not. And yet, had il
not been for Sup'f Kerr's watchfulnesl

During the session of the NJ. E. confer

in 1862, beating Hon. Newton Batemau.
Mr.. Brooks, when a young man, was a
practical printer, afterwards an editor, and

bishops out of editors, we hope the MethO

make another bishop.
