Notwithstanding the appeals Of the news
papers and the city officials to citizens to pay
their taxes this year promptly, the indications
are that the number OF appeals and the amount
appealed this year will be greater III Chicago
than in any previous year. The reason OF this
is that the people are too poor to pay taxes on
the liberal scale to which they submitted whe:.
times were "booming." Panics have come
times have grown hard, business has shrunk,
and personal expenditures have been cut down
from IS to 80 per cent. Tax-eaters are the only

One of the most remarkable instances ever
knew of thrift and persevering industry, was
related to me few days ago by gentleman
who requested me to write an article ont the
subject, that might be the means OF encoura-
ging others in similar course. A farmer OF
the name of T. Hutz, living in Scott county,
mad a number Of COWS from which he made a
good deal Of butter, which he found ready
market for in Davenport His wife made a
point of sending the nice fresh butterlnilk
along, tor which there was always ready sale
and he would often bring home as much as s.
for her share. 1t takes good many items Of
50 to amount to $1,000, yet short time since
She purchased a farm and paid down q, 900 fol
it, all procured By the sale of buttermilk. lex
change.
Now let somebody tell how another
wife bought 100000 farm by saving
the egg shells. And while the thieves
continue to steal let those who have the
votes practice these beautiful little econ
omies. Wonder if Belknap's wife saved
the buttermilk!

Already we are notified of the first fruits ct
the unfortunate appointment Of Senator VIM
dom to the chairmanship OF the committee on
appropriations.
His pet project the Fox & Wisconsin canal,
comes in for an increase from $4,000. to $780,
900 to its annual appropriation, whilst no pro-
vision is made for the only haroor in his own
State at Duluth. Now every man with half an
eye can easily see for himself that the shifting
sands OF the Wisconsin river can never be con
trolled by any amount of engineering But
what oddsg 1t is the "stear' that is in ques-
ton, not the Wisconsin river.-St. Paul Dis
patch
Too true. And sad to say, Minnesota
will probably return Window to the
United States Senate, next winter, fol
six years more, to represent the interests
of Wisconsin. And in all probability
Duluth's representatives will vote TO-
him!

Second, the committee never had

And what's more he never was an Hon
