Let There Be q New Deal.

We give place to communication this
cial misdeeds of our city fathers the past
year. Tie points made by our correspond
ent are well taken, and are deserving the
attention of taxpayers. Another election
will soon occur when The people will be
called upon to choose officers for the en-
suing year, which render pertinent the
facts presented, at this time. There is great
dissatisfaction in the community, and
with just cause, at the manner in whic h
the business of the city has been conduct ed
by the present Board. They have shown a
loSeness and profigacy in the expenditure
of the public tuads that cannot be too
severely condemned. Besides disbursing
every dollar which has been raised by tax
alton and from from other sources-over
$40s 000.00-the city is considerably in
debt on account of its current expenses,
which is not only suggestive of gross irreg-
ularity and Encouragement, but is directly
contrary to law. The people have the
remedy in their own keeping, and if they
are wise, they will improve the opportunity
to put the affairs Of the city at the next
election in better hands. Those who make
politics trade and are continually plotting
aud scheming to be elected to some petty
city Office for the sake OF the few dollars
they may receive by means of it, should be
assigned to back seats. 1t may be hard on
the "bummers," but it will best subserve
the welfare of the tax payers; and imme-
diate steps should be taken to bring about
this much desired result. There are plenty
of meE in the city who are able and willin G
to manage its business econ omically anG
acceptably. 1t is time they were sough
out, without regard to poll tics, race, religion
or previous condition in life, and an oppor.
tunity given to place the financial affairs of
the city upon better basis. Who will
move in the matter and call public meet
! ing with this object in view?

More Judg ments on CITY Bonds.

Our sister city, Kenosha, is having fresh
troubles on account of bonds issued by her
in aid of railroads. A judgment for
$263, O57 80 was entered up last Saturday
in the U. S. District Court at Milwaukee,
and notice given that a mandamus would
be applied for to compel the levy of a tax
for its immediate payment. Items of this
character are interesting to Watertown
readers, and suggestive also. But now
that Films bill has become law, perhaps
no further apprehensons need be felt. Its
provisions, which we published not long
since in full, cannot so quickly have been
forgotten. AS soon as Mariner can sched-
ule his bonds, coupons and judgments,
which will not occupy many days, proba-
bly,, be will, of course, hasten to report
himself at the city clerks office and register
them as contemplated by statesman Finn.
And then in the wake of Mariner will come
all the holders of bonds for smaller amounts,
complying with the terms of this new law
until, as required by it, ''every bond, cou-
pom and Judgment shall have been register
ed, - and the haI Ply day will dawn when it
shall be promulgated that "a final settlement
has been reached" But seriously was there
ever more stupendous humbug than this
pretence of Flnn's that his bill 'to enable
the city of Walertown to compromise its
railroad indebtedn ess," is not in reality a
bill to forever prevent any settlement, and
that such was not the purpose Finn had in
view all the time. Who is silly enough to
longer give him credit for sincerity and
honesty in this matter? He duped many
innocent and unslspecting individuals into
the belief that he had abandoned his re-
pudiation hobby, when in fact he only
loosened his grip for the purpose of getting
better hold. No one understands better
than he the utter impracticability of his
scheme; and that any sane person should
have ever been hoodwinked into supposng
that it was intended for anything more
than a trick to catch votes surpasses our
comprehension.

Struck BY Lightning.

Friday morning this city and vicinity
were visited by severe thunder storm ac-
companied by heavy rain. During the
storm the lightning struck The frame build
ing of Mr.. A. Schumacher on Third street,
occupied by him as a boot and shoe store.
The fluid struck the chimney and passed
from the chimney into the tin water gutter,
and by it was conducted 10 the ground
without doing any damage to the build
ing, save the tearing away of some plaster
from the ceiling Of the Is. and I'd floors
Mr. Schumacher was in the building at the
time and received severe shock. but was
not injured. Taken altogether it is great
wonder more damage was not done by the
freaks performed by the electric current.
