FRANKLIN.

Dec. 10th 1879.
A town tax of $500 Will be levied on
the taxable property of Franklin this
year.
We are noted for being an industrious
people. In feet we never let an oppor-
tunity pass UNDECIDED where we can
''turn an honest penny" This fact was
recently illustrated at wedding here
when the father of the fair one embraced
the auspicions occasion to increase his
store of filthy lucre by selling beer to the
guests at the small sum of ten cents o
quart.
A number of school children in this
and adjoining towns are sick with diph-
liberia and scarlet fever. Two deaths
from diphtheria occurred last week.
One was daughter of Jos. Mulhall of
Franklin, the other girl named Malon.
ey from Morrison.
A sad accident causing the death of
one of the most respected citizens of
Cooperstown happened last week. Mr..
Healey of that town went to Morrison on
Wednesday to attend the funeral of a
friend the following day. He went to
the stable during the evening to see his
team which was somewhat FESTIVE from
being in strange place and surrounded
by other horses. On entering he laid
his hand on one of his horses when the
animal suddenly gave him violent kick
in the groin, from the effect of which he
died the next evening. His funeral oc-
CURED on Sunday and was very largely
attended. The deceased was one of the
first settlers here and was highly respect
ed by his many friends and neighbors.

PIENING'S HOLIDAY STOCK.

In the issue of the 4th instant we at
tempted to give description of Pien-
ing's holiday goods. Since that time he
has added considerably to his stock and
has made more thorough arrangements
for the display of his goods. If you
wish to purchase, visit the store room in
the rear of the building and you will
find the most complete stock of holiday
goods ever brought to the city. Curious
conch shells, social puzzles, all kinds of
ingenious toys for children, writing
desks, in fact everything which you can
possibly want for the holidays. Pur-
chase early, as next week the store will
be crowded.

THE Tribune is too active in denoun-
cling the local democracy. The county
board is in no sense political body. In
almost every town in the county the
chairman and other officers are chosen
without respect to party affiliations. The
raising of salaries was not the work of
democratic members as the vote on the
subject will fully demonstrate. The
fault, if fault there be, should not be
thrown on any party because party was
not considered. The question of salary
is not one of party, and it is not just to
make high salaries the policy of a party
which chances to have majority in the
county board. Democrats as well as
republicans are interested in paying
public servants just compensation and
nothing more. The question of who
shall fill the offices is party question.
That of what salary be paid is one which
the people settle in this county irrespec-
tive of party.

A NEW THROUGH RouTE,

Members of the Minneapolis Board of
Trade have been holding a conference
with prominent men at Ludington, on
the east shore of this lake, in which was
proposed new route for grain to the
east from Minneapolis and the North
west, The plan contemplates the build
ing of such railroad as would be nee
cessary from Minneapolis to Manitowoc,
Wis, on this shore of Lake Michigan,
and the establishment of line of steam
ers from Manitowoc to Ludlngton, the
grain to go thence over the Flint and
Pere Marquette Railroad east By this
route there would be considerable saving
in distance over any other route at
present in existence, and it is claimed
that the project can and will be brought
to an established enterprise. The subject
of building another elevator at Luding-
ton, together with obtaining desirable
site therefor, was also discussed at the
conference, and was regarded as matter
easily carried out Whether Manitowoc
will finally be determined upon as the
point on the this shore of the lake there
is some question, but it seems certain
that Ludington will be the point on the
other shore. Here in Chicago and at
Milwaukee the new enterprise is feared
by steamboat owners and others as only
too practicable, and the deepening of
Ludingtons already excellent harbor is
looked upon as part and parcel of the
project, the intention evidently being to
run steamers all winter, as the steamers
of the present Milwaukee and Grand
Haven and Milwaukee and Ludington
lines are run. There has been talk lately
here, at Milwaukee, Detroit and Cleve-
land of several of the N. r. propellers,
besides those employed on the Milwau-
kee and Ludington route, being run all
winter on this lake, and it is thought
that they have been secured for this new
west and east shore line. The large
steambarge Jarvis Lord is at present fit
ting out in Chicago harbor for winter
work-being ironed, etc,-and inasmuch
as her master says she is not going on
the Milwaukee and Grand Haven route.
her name is also mentioned in connection
with the new route.

CATO.

The teachers meeting at Grimm's last
Saturday was pretty well attended, not
withstanding the bad condition of the
roads and the inclemency of the weather.
The numerous visitors present WAS an
encouragement to teachers in the right
direction.
The school at Grimm's was closed last
week on account Of the prevalence OF
diphtheria. One of Joseph MulhalPs
children died with this fatal disease last
week and the rest have been seriously
ILL, but are now out of danger. The
bereaved family have the sympathy OF
the entire community in the loss OF their
bright little girl.
As soon as the new brick residence OPP
posite John Killen's store was completed,
Mr.. Killen and family moved in there.
1t is curious how they should have taken
that rash step without consulting any
body on the subject. Probably Mr.. Kill
len owns the house, it looks some like it
as they seem to be enjoying the comfort
derived from the occupation of such q
warm place this cold weather.
The sum OF twenty dollars has already
been contributed towards the decoration
of Christmas tree in the church at this
place. Everybody who contributed his
mite expects to receive q present Christ
mas night. We have just interest enough
to be on the tip-toe of expectancy.
A number of the prominent politicians
of this section, in meeting at Tom
Mangin's last Sunday, decided on plan
of campaign for 1880. We merely men
ton the fact to warn the boys, that they
should be little more wary in such
matters, as it is highly probable that The
Chicago Times will publish the plan in
a few days, and attempt to palm it off on
an unsuspecting public as its own pro-
duction.
There is young man of some literary
prominence living in the town of Frank
lin who is also an ex-telegraph operator,
but in an evil hour gave up the last
named profession and adopted that of
literature. 1t is reported that his I'M
published contributions to science, are
full of philosophical research and in
quiry. He is also a contributor to the
waste-paper baskets, of nearly all the
leading periodicals of the country, but
has the misfortune to never have had any
of his articles noticed as yet, except a
poem about logging bee. For fear that
any of this illustrious' authors produc-
tons should be immortalized in the
shape of printed matter, without an as
tonished public being able to attribute it
to the right source, we hereby state that
he writes under the pseudonym of "Tom
Riley" a name that is suggestive of all
that is learned and wise.

O. MOSES.

The communications of o. Moses have
sfuttered the dove cotes in Corioli, and
curiosity Is on the qui ciUe to know the
authors real name. With some this
curiosity is merely desire to "know
you know" while others are anxious to
measure swords with the correspondent
who dares to criticise and who evidently
has not committed himself to the theory,
whatever is, is right" This anx-
iety on the part of the latter to know
the real name of the writer is SIM
ply desire to have knowledge which
| will enable them 20 make personal at.
tack. So far as defense of the county
board is concerned the personality of O..
Moses has nothing to do. His charges
OF extravaganza may be controverted
| through the same medium through which
| they have been made. OF course there
are some hasty persons who believe in
muscular argument and who fancy that
a knock down is a final adjudication ad-
verse to the recipient. OF piece with
this is the logic of personal abuse. 1t
does not follow, because correspondent
may be made the subject of vituperation,
that what he questions, is justified.
Either the equalization of which O..
Moses complains was just or it was not.
If there is just cause for complaint, those
| aggrieved should be heard through O..
Moses or any other man, and the griev.
| ance complained of should receive atten-
ton and not the individuality of him who
is the exponent of that dissatisfaction.
We believe the assessment just, so far as
the city is concerned but deem it the
worst species of intolerance to say that
those thinking otherwise should not be
heard or that the person voicing that dis
satisfaction should suffer for his temerity
through his own person. Again. Either
$1,000 per annum each for the clerk and
treasurer and $3.50 for the district attor-
ney was fair compensation or it was
not. AS the people pay the salaries it is
but fair they should be entitled to an
expression of their opinions on the sub
ject. If the general sentiment is in favor
of raising salaries from $1,000 to $1,000
per year, the correspondent who ques-
tons the need of the advance will be
laughed at for his pains, and Injuries only
himself. The county board acts in a
representative capacity and if in raising
salaries which were thought to be high
enough, they do not reflect the wishes of
the people, the matter should be made
known. Resentment against a cores
pondent who discusses this matter pub
Icy will very properly be construed into
fear that the people stand behind that
correspondent; that he represents their
wishes more faithfully than the board
did. If salaries should be raised the
people are not so wilfully blind as not to
see the necessity of so doing. But it is
very poor Justification of such step to
decry its being made public and to resent
any mention of it through the papers.
