The New York Tribune says that the
only avsilable candidate that tho Dem
ocratic party has is Samuel j. Tllden.
Tilden on one side and Bristow on the
other would, as Sir Lucius O'Trigger
says, make a very pretty fight. But
Bristow can never manage that Clncin.
natl Convention. The Davenport, Shep-
herd, Custom House and whisky ring
men will be to strong for him and they
will run the machine and nominate their
man. In fact they are compelled to
take this course whether they would or
not. The instinct of self preservat on
urges them and will assert its irresist-
IDLE sway. They feel that if such a
man as Bristow or Evarts or other can.
didste of equal standing is nominated
they are gone, no matter which party
wins. In either case, the pure and
respectable men Of their own party
would not touch them, save to arrest
and punish them, while if the Demo
cratic nominee is elected for the sake OF
making political capital. they are equal.
~ sure to be exposed and hardly dealt
with. Therefore they must IN AXE their
fight at Cincinnati and if possible cause

ne does nothing more, will permit them

THE SITUATION.

The intelligence received a day or two
since Of the confirmation by the Supreme
Court Of the decision Of the District
Court in the Bond Interest case, has cast
very general gloom over tho commit
nifty. The situation is very grave, and
will tax the abilities Of the most pru-
dent in this community TO devise salts
factory solution. Amid the general doubt
and uncertainty there is one feeling crop
ping out prominently. That if our citi-
zrps are expected to pay taxes they must
derive some benefit from them. Taxes
are imposed, and their payment is made
a duty upon ev,ry citizen in order to
support and defray the expenses of local
and general government. Each citizen
is called upon to pay over a portion of
his or her substance in order to enjoy the
rest Ia peace and security, and also Sc
cure the personal protection arising from
the enforcement Of the laws. When,
therefore. such deplorable condition of
affairs arises as that all the available
fundsprovided for defraying the expenses
Of municipal government are absorbed
by clamorous creditors, leaving nothing
to meet the necessary cos! of keeping in
motion the requisite machinery for the
protection OF the community and pun
ishing the guilty. it is natural that
the question should be asked,
what Is the use OF paying taxes?
People do not pay taxes for the fun of
the thing. They pay because there is a
moral and legal obligation 80 to do.
That obligation is founded upon the
principle. that no community can exist
without laws. That laws unless en-
forced are worse than useless. That the
enforcement OF the laws causes unavoiJ-
able expenses. That to provide for
those expenses, taxes are imposed and
each citizen is required to contribute in
proportion to his means. But the obi.
CATION in all cases is predicated upon the
benefits derived from the protection af-
forded BY an organized government.
When that protection fails. when courts
OF justice are closed, when alleged Of
lenders are set free, the inquiry arises
whether the obligation does not also
cease. We trust that our citizens will
think over and discuss the situation
calmly and with due view of its i'm.
pertance and endeavor If possible to
devise and apply a remedy. The col
umns OF the RECORD will always be open
Tor the purpose OF publishing the sug-
gestions Of our fellow citizens, il any
choose to avail themselves of that means
Of making known their views.

We greatly regret to learn Of The death
OF George W. LeBhsFt. Of Austin. We
have known him for many years and
always found him honorable and courte-
Gus in all his dealings. while he was
generous and charitable in the highest
degree. We take The following remarks
from the Eureka Sentinel, in which we
most heartily concur:
Deceased came to Austin in 1863
during the early days of the Reese
River excitement, and resided there
continuously from time to time up
to the date Of his death. He was we'll
known TO every person who ever re-
sided in Austin, and was as universally
beloved and respected as be was gen
orally known. His heart overfowed
with generous and kindly feelings, and
he was never so happy as when engaged
In some philosophical enterprise or
performing an act Of Kindness for some
friend or acquaintance. He was a
schoolDate of the late Sheriff Emery, and
was his warm and devoted friend up 10
the hour of his death. He was a native
Of Crawford county. Pennsylvania, and
about AZ years of age. There are few
persons residing in the community
where he lived whose death would oc-
casion more general regret than bis.
In celebrating the burdens of this
county for The current year it must be
remembered that Sls, 900 for interest was
due, and is unpaid, to the bondholders
on the first of last January, and on the
first of January, 1877, another sum of
$4,000 will also be due. making 1896, 600,

the present year, added to whatever bal

these payments are merely for interest,
