The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1878-08-03

dwelling house of John T. Morgan
on Fourth street. Mr.. G. is a first
class single maker, and will at
once start up the mill, and run it to
its full capacity during the season.
Mr.. Churchill's wife, who has been
quite sick for some time past, is
slowly recovering, and he hopes
she may be well enough to follow
him next week. We are glad to
see such people coming to Superior,
and our citizens should give them a
hearty welcome.
1t requires no talent to find
fault. Any one can do 1t. 1t is
easy to say that no one does right;
that everyone looks out for Number
One exclusively. But it isn't easy
to look on the best side, to see that
there are thousands of honest, sim
cere men aud women, countless acts
of justice, charity and humanity
which outweigh all the grumbling
Of all the grumblers, so that it is
really only the finest dust in the
balance. Let US be fair and cheer
tul. The world Is not all wrong.
Everybody isn't a rascal. Our
neighbors are not trying to cheat
US. Even the GROWERS are not half
as disagreeable as they seem.
Please stop-my-what? Times
are hard, money is scarce, business
is dull, retrenchment is a duty
Please stop my-beer O, no; times
are not hard enough for that yet.
But there is something which costs
me large amount of money, which
| wish to save. Please stop my
tobacco, cigars and snuff? No, no,
not these; but | must retrench
somewhere. Please stop my-rib-
bons, jewels, ornaments and trink-
cts? Not at all; pride must be fos-
tered if the times are ever SO hard;
but | believe | can see a way to eff
feet quite a saving IN another d.
rection-Please stop my-tea, coffee
and endless unhealthy luxuries? No;
no, not these; [ cannot think OF
such sacrifice; / must have some
thing else, Oh, | have it now. Ny
paper, | must say that. Please
stop my paper; that two dollars
will carry me through the panic
easily. [ believe IN retrenchment
and economy.
Our article last week on the
bond question has had the effect of
stirring up considerable talk here.
AS we have often before noticed, in
connection with questions affecting
| the interest Of the town or county,
those who are the loudest-mouthed
in opposition to justice and common
sense, are generally people who pay
little or no taxes, and have no real
interest in the town except to draw
living out Of those who pay yearly
tribute to the place in the shape of
taxes; and this case is no excep-
ton. We think that in the matter
of this bond question those who are
most vitality interested are the heavy
nonresident owners Of lands in this
county, who are taxed here, and on
whom the great burden will fall;
such as James Stinson> w. w. Cor
coran, Hon. J. B. Beck, Hon. 3.
Magofin, E. Riggs, Geo. w. Riggs,
G. w. Norton, J. ]. Bright, Hiram
Robbins and N any others owning
lands in and around Superior; Hon.
Isaac Staples, L. E. Torinus, Geo.
n. Lyman, William Chandler, G. n.
Nelson, Shulenberg & Co., Geo. w.
Lentz and others who own thou
sands Of acres Of pine lands in Doug
las county, and whose taxes annually
run from $500 to $500. These
are the men who ought to be con-
suited, and whose judgment should
be entitled to respect in a matter of
this kind. They no doubt under
stand the circumstances and stu
alton of this bonded debt quite as
well as any one here, and are GER
tainlY better qualified to give an
opinion as to what course is best to
be pursued, than nine -tenths of the
men here. So far, we have heard of
only one or two of these heavy OWL
ers who have given any expression
upon the subject, but the most of
them will doubtless be heard from
before long, if they take any inter
est at all in the matter.
