IT will probably be remembered
by the readers OF the TINES that at
the time Of the school meeting of
this district in July last, this paper
commented rather severely upon the
action Of a small majority Of the
meeting, headed by Mr. Morrison
and Mr.. Bardon, two of the officers
Of the School Board, III not allow
ing the annual report of the Dis
trict Treasurer, Mr.. Morrison, to be
referred for examination to COM
mittee of three and that we stated,
at the time, that it looked rather
suspicious. 1t appears now that
there was a method in their action !:
Tor, according to the official report
OF the County Superintendent,
which appears in another column,
there is a deficit in Mr.. Morrison's 5
accounts of s398.94, which lays him
liable to prosecution as a defaulter.
Owing to the absence Of County
Treasurer Bardon from town, we
are unable to ascertain who Mr..
Morrison's bondsmen are, but Sup
pose they are good for that amount,
50 that there will be no loss to the
district.

Report Of the Proceedings of the
Town Board.

Below will be found report of
the proceedings ofthe Town Board,
at meeting held last Tuesday after
noon. As we have been publishing
the proceedings Of the Board regu-
larly for some time, and as a great
many Of our citizens think we re-
ceive pay for doing so,-as in justice
we ought-we wish to state that we
do not receive any remuneration
whatever for doing SO, but publish
them as a matter Of news. We
have, we are proud TO say, a very
economically Town Board, who,
though they can afford TO pay out
at every meeting from $500 to 800
for work illegally and unnecessarily
done on our streets, in order TO keep
III their power few voting minions,
cannot afford to contribute this
small amount of support-which it
is fairly entitled to, and which every
other paper in the Northwest re-
ceiyes from It's town ofGcialS-tO-
wards helping the only paper pub
Ilshed IN the county to exc out a
scanty subsistence, all because said
paper does not toady to them and
connlye at some Of their transactions,
and also because they supposed,
probably, that if the printer did not
receive pay for publishing the pro-
ceedings, he would not do so, and
the taxpayers of Douglas County
thus be kept in the dark as to their
doings. Bu5 believing that
straightforward and honest course
in a newspaper is the most profitable
IN the long run, we shall continue
to criticise the actions of the Board

THE Republicans Of the country
are feeling quite jubiant over the
result of the recent elections in
Ohio. Iowa and Nebraska, which
certainly do not indicate that that
party is dead yet, by any means.
Elections were held in the three
States above named on Tuesday last,
Ohio giving a Republican majority
Of at least 10000 and both branches
of the Legislature, Iowa an estima-
ted Republican majority of 5000
and heavy legislative gains, and
Nebraska an overwhelming Repub-
lican majority and the entire State
ticket.

persons WHOM We used to know :;
and we can assure Bro. Plumley
that in making the statement that
no town in the Northwest can show
more generous and iberal-minded
set Of business men than that same
town of Wells possesses he did not
shoot very wide of the mark. They
will do to tie to.

II view of the graf expense
which is annually incurred by Supe-
rIor in support of her poor, we
would enquire if it would not be far
less expensive to run a poor-house
than to continue the present system
During the pastfive years, according
to the records, the eamounte expended
yearly averages but little less than
$4,000, and we think it is
susceptible of demonstration that
under the poor-house system the
County could save about half that
sum. Believing the subject is
worth enquirlng into and agitating,
we shall have something to say
about the matter next week.

Duluth Tribune.

From the Duluth Tribune.
w fear that brother Parker has
neither made a friend for himself,
nor for our young city, the manner
in which he lately waded into the
editor Of the Brain7rd Tribune for
some remarks which that gentleman
recently made as to the cost Of fill
inc up those deep rayines on the L.
5. & NJ. road at the Dalles. The
Brainerd Tribune Of last week says:
Bro Parker, of Duluth MinnesOtian Her
aid, concludes he don't know as much about
railroad building as he used to did, but in
sist8 that he has an affinity for both Supe
rior and Brainerd, and consequently with
holds his earthquakes, and won't swallow them
up, which is magnanimOus in the Judge, very,
but he forgets TO enquire what Bralnerd
cares for his affinity. Brainerd's affinity on
Lake Superior in the nearfuture is Superior
CITY, and she cares but little what becomes
Of Proctor Knotts mushroom.
Our friend, Judge Parker, is GER
tainly asking a good deal, when he
asks the public to believe, as would
certainly be inferred from his late
articles on that subject, that the To-
cation Of the L. S. & NJ. road from
Pond du Lac 10 Thompson IS a Ia
vorabIe one. The truth is, that
every practical man connected with
the l.. ). & NJ. road now admits
that the running OF that road across
those wide and yawning ravines,
hundreds of feet in width and some
Of them over 100 feet in depth, was
one of Frank Clark's and DaCOsta's
terribly expensive blunders-a blum
der on a par with their expenditure
Of 100000 in a pier Oh the upper
side of Rice's Point, which structure
is now not worth sixty cents, either
to the city, or the road OF course
any temporary repairs which any of
those trestle bridges may need, will
/ be made; but when the time comes,
as come it Will, and, that too, before
long, when those bridges will either
have to be entirely rebuilt, or the
ravines filled up, or q 2tel0 route Sc
l6cted, we believe that the latter viii
be the plan adopted.
BY crossing the St. Louis river
something like mile farther up
than the present crossing, and then
running down, back from the river,
some little distance, a very good
route can be 1onnd, and we should
not be surprised to see the road
running there inside Of three years.
Of course, however, the bankrupt
and pIundering gang Of CIarH, IIlsley
Il Co., who now temporarily man
age, on rather mismanage the above
road, will never either change the
road, or build new bridges, or fill up
the ravines, and all their talk to
that effect IS mere bumcOmbe, as
they well know that in a year from
next January, they will be hurled
from power-if, indeed, the righttul
owners of the road, the first mortg-
age bondholders, should not wrest
it from their hands before that
time.

power to give US, and shall endeavor
at all times to keep the taxpayers
of Douglas County well-posted as
to the doings Of dishonest and
incompetent officials.
By reference to the proceedings
printed below, it will be seen that
the Board passed bills, for work on
sire cts, amounting to over $500,
which, with the amount passed at
the meeting in last August, viz !:
S678.77, makes the total amount ex-
pended on our streets, in the short
period Of about two months, some
thing over 1000.
We have not time this week to
enlarge upon this subject, but next
week we shall endeavor to prove:
First-That the performance Of
the work was illegal
Second-That the Board had no
right to pass the bills, and that the
orders are consequently illegal.
Following are the bills passed:

NArURALIzATIoN-The following
is clipped from the Oshkosh North
acestern, and has reference to the
time during which to take out the
first papers or declaration of inten-
ton:
By the revision of the United
States laws, adopted III 1874, but
not printed or circulated until within
a few days, it appears that the rule
of taking out the first papers or
declaration of intention on the part
Of foreign citizens, has been changed.
Declaration must now be made in
open court. 1t is further stated
that all declarations made and filed
since the passage Of the revision,
before the clerks OF the court are
invalid. This will occasion much
tronble and complaint, but the
officers must obey the law.
Whether the change was clerical
error in omitttng single phrase, or
was intentional on the part Of the
revisors, cannot be determined.
The fact stands just the same.

Court was held in Burlington last week.
The principal case tried was that Of Maria Her

paid by him. and the policy made payable in case
of death u his administrator but II was expressed
In his policy that II was for the benefit Of his wife
The insurance was effected in 1854, and in August
1868, the husband called upon the company and
claimed the right 10 cancel the policy, and receive
its equitable value. The company, Is Its CUSTOM
aceeded to the request In good faith, supposing
they had right so to do, and paid it, equitable
value The premiums were due July 20, in each
year. Before July 20, 1869, the wife had heard Of
this cancellation, and surprising 1t 10 be legal,
omitted TO pay the premium due July ~, 1853,
nor has II ever been paid or rendered The de
plaintiff sues 10 recover on policy.
The defendants objected, FIRST, that action should
have been brought in the name Of the administra-

ing payable to his administrator, and was can
eelled according TO usual custom Of company
third, II not legally cancelled II continued sub.
sstlng policy, subject to conditions named in it,
one Of which was forfeiture Of policy on non-pay'

District No should receive their share, for they
