Mr.. Richard Jones, former alderman
from the 4th Ward, and P. Devy, at present
city clerk, had very narrow escape from
the wiles Of the bond holders in the winter
of 1878. While in Madison they were
lured into dark chamber and then and
there offered large amount Of bonds,
besides considerable SUM of money, if they
would work in their Ohe bond holders)
interest. But no-their hearts yearned for
their poor fellow citizens and their little
houses and lots fortune laid at their feet
was no temptation; their honesty withs TODD
the severe test; rather would they die ir
the poor house than sacrifice the interests
of the poor people that put their whole trust
and confidence in them. Such is the sub
stance OF speech made by Mr.. Jones at the
Union League on Saturday night. Know
ing the general reputation for honesty and
trnthfulness of these gentlemen we trust
that none Of our readers will be so unchar-
liable as to doubt the statement. Is it not
fortunate for the community that we have
these two incorruptible men among us

Shameful PROCEEDINGS.

The meeting of our citizens called at
Turner Hall last Wednesday Evening for
the purpose of taking measures against the
present rule of mismanagement and cor
ruption in our city matters, was broken up
by a band of Union Leaguers who took this
method of showing their appreciation Of
free speech and the rights Of American
citizens to quietly assemble and express their
sentiments. No member of the Union
League could have mistaken the purport Of
the gathering and the very call of the meet
ing debarred the Union Leaguers from put
ting in an appearance at it, much less par
tcpating in its proceedings. But with
true commu nistic style, the members of
the League marched to the hall headed BY
their chief, Mr.. 81. Finn, and at once pro-
ceeded to Dust the chairman already chose
by the sympathizers with the call and the
purpose of the meeting. The meeting soon
resolved itself into sort of pandemonum
through the League influences, until final
ly W VIC pus Ou1 VIC C1oWu
dispersed. The scenes which followed
ought to bring the blush of hame to the
cheek of every good citizen ofthe place
Mr.. Frederick Miller an old resident and
a prominent business man of the city, was
assaulted without any provocation in the
saloon Of A. Benkendorf by one Henry Vo-
gel, member of the Union Lea que.
| Several other members of the League assist
ed in the work of provoking row with Mr..
Miller and others, and the city Marshal was
| quiet observer of what was going on, but
offered 70 make no arrests. Mr. Miller was
| struck in the forehead in three different
places with an iron tool used for opening
boxes, and was SO badly injured that he bad
to be carried to his home where he lay on
his bed for several days in precarious
| condition, having suffered great loss of
| blood. It was doubtless a premeditated
plan on the life of Mr. Miller, and other of
| our citizens who have been an eyesore to the
League for some time past, for the PAL t
| they have taken from time to time against
that organization and its work of prevent
| ing settlement of our difficulties. When
such Split of lawlessness as this man TESTS
itself in our midst, is it not time for all
| good citizens to unite in stamping out such
proceedings in order that dece Mt people
| may be enabled to live here?

Causes of Nervousness.

The maladies which above all others
cause nervousness, are Dyspepsia bilious
ness and constipation. The great sympa-
thetic nerve which connects the epigastric
region with the brain, is always injurious
ly affected if the stomach and bowels are
disordered a permanent arrangement OF
the functions of those organs reacts by SYM
pathy upon the entire nervous system.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, in res torng
tone and regularity to the digestive appa-
ratus, and overcoming constipation, perma-
'nently remedy the nervous complaints
which originate in alimentary weakness or
disturbances. They are the very best ner-
vine that can be used. By eradicating the
exciting caese Of nervous weakness, they
permanently overcome the disability itself.
But this is not all. By checking the NAL
aides which cause nervousness, they build
up anew the system weakened and depleted
by nervous disease.

Cause for CongratuIatton.

The people of Watertoun owe a debt of
gratitude to the legislature of this State for
having wiped out of official existence the
present board Of street com nissioners. A
more corrup: and awless set of men than
the majority of the board never existed here
or elsewhere. Had the city been raked
with fine tooth comb, five more incompe-
tent individuals than the Union League
members of that body conld moi have been
visions Of law have been trampled under
foot by them and they have held high carni-
val at the expense o! the city. Although the
charter says the city expenditures in any one
year shall not exceed the appropri att ons
made, the former are in excess Of the latter
by many thousands of dollars. Although
the law forbids the drawing of city orders
for an amount greater than that of funds in
the treasury, there are orders afoat for
thousands of dollars and not cent in the
hands of the treasurer to pay them with.
Many persons who have performed work for
the city and are dependent upon their daily
la or for support of their famiii es-others
who have supplied the city with lumber or
material Of different kinds, or perhaps rem
dered some other service, are compelled
therefore to wait for their money until an
other year, experiencing inconvenience.
This comes partly from the recklessness of
the board in its excessive expenditures,
but the deficiency is also owing IN meas
ure to the rascality of the majority in its
misrepresentation of the funds. Hundreds
of dollars have been pilfered from the treas
ury by these men. Illegal bills have been
allowed to an alarming extent, the mem
bers voting for each others steals, and be-
ing guilty of populations for which they
could and should be indicted and sent to
the penitentiary. But their reign is near ly
over. The people who pay the taxes are
determined that these robberies shall cease
and at the coming election will ratify til e
action of the legislature and re tire these
desperadoes permanently from the public
service.

How Not To Do 1t.
service,

The policy of the Union League, during
its three years existence with reference to
the settlement of our city debt, has been
revolutionary in the extreme. Always ready
to oppose every plan presented by others for
compromise Of existing difficulties, they
do not attempt to offer anything better.
All their efforts are devoted to teari n g
down, instead of building up They are
regulators and will favor no project look
ing to solution OF our difficulties, which
involves the payment of any money. They
are yet bowling about the unconstitutionality
of the bonds, and about frauds on the part OF
individuals and railroad corporations, as if
the court Of last resort and the bonds de-
clared valid. Men of rdilary sense can
see that this decision is a fin atty and that
the most we can hope to do is to throw OBJ
structions in the way Of the collection of
judgments, as at present, by disbanding
the council and break ing up tie city gov
eminent, so as to prevent the service of pro-
cess. But this can not always continue .
If we persist in such revolutionary pro
ceedings the legislature will eventually step
in and pass laws which will defeat us as
was attempted one year ago. Is itn the
part of wisdom, there ore, to take ad-
vantage, while we can, O. the laws delay s
and compromise on the best terms we can

A Plain Stateme ut ofFac ts.

There is no conflict of interest between
the rich man and the poor man, between
the merchant and the laborer in regard to
the perplexing bond question. The rich
| man and merchant are fully as much in
elined to cling to their money as the poor
man and laborer, but the reason why the
former class are IN favor of compromise, is,
that in their dealings with others they have
found that to say :" | shant pay" is not
after all the end of the matter. merchant
sometimes compromises his debts at less
than 100 cents on the dollar because the
creditor is satisfied that he can do no bet
ter, and for the same reason we have been
able to settle large portion Of the bonds
at about one fourth of their face value
but is it safe or is it good policy to say
"we shan't pay anything" The courts
and law makers have thus far been ex-
tremely lenient with US because we have
all along been able to tell them that we
were compromising. Let it be known
however that we refuse to pay anything
and the courts and legislature will turn a
deaf ear to our cry of distress. We will
not assert that the poor man and laborer is
less inclined to pay his debts, in fact the
very opposite is the truth, but Office getting
is what ails this community; the demagogue
is at work with the stale story that every
one in favor of settlemen mt is the owner of
bonds. The reason why the business men
OF Watertown without exception are in ia
vor of compromise is that their common
sense tells them that it is the best policy
and probably cheapest in the end-the reason
other classes are opposed to paying any
thing is, that they allow themselves to be
duped by designing villains.

Personal NJ ention.

Our old fellow citizen, Mr.. William S.
Turner, who has been making Denver,
Colorado, his home for several years past
returned to the city last week with the in
tention, we believe, of taking up his future
residence among US. We are glad to have
the opportunity or welcoming such old
.ettlers back.
Mr.. James McCully, OF Milwaukee, an
old ex-alderman of the 7th ward, spent a
day or two in town last week.
Mr.. 0. D. Orvis, formerly of this city, a

Canes, but now resident of Denver city,
Colorado, spent few hours in town last
Monday and received a warm greeting from
his old friends.

Suit Comm enced.

The King Bridge Co. have sued out a
writ of alternative mandamus, in the cir
cult court, requiring the city treasurer to
sh ow cause why he does not pay the city
orders issued to them in payment for Cady
St. bridge. Here is another remind der of
its bullheadedness given to the tax payers
by the board of street commissioners. If
that body had been more observant of the
laws, this difficulty would have been
avoided. In the first place, it was illegal
to build the bridge because no provision
was made for it in the tax levy and it
created a floating debt which the charter
says shall not be done. In the next place
20 orders should have been issued because
the charter says no orders shall be issued
beyond the ability of the treasurer to pay.
Tax payers will thus be able to recognize
the stupidity and recklessness which char
acterze the board in its transaction of the
public BUSINESS. They will also be pretty
sure, we think, to see that there will be
less of this costly nonsense for the coming
year by the subs titution O. board COM
prising men not trely devoid of sense
and hon esty.

1000 letters from Druggists are now on our
files saying that no other preparation in
their stores sell as well and gives such ex-
celient satisfaction. All we ask is for you

A Question.

Doss not the right "to peacefully assemble
as guaranteed by the constitution OF the
United States apply TO the city of Water
town? ,.Should the man of whom we had
the right to expect better things be held
responsible for leading mob Of armed
men to break up the meeting on the 10th
inst? He dare not say that he and his
crowd came there to quietly listen. Calling
his hordeS together at an early hour and
marching in body to the meeting, at Tur-
ner Hall, disproves all protestations that he
may make. He is amenable to the law and
should be made to feel it's penalty.
