EQUALIZING.

There is not much doubt that the re-
port of the Committee on Assessment
will be much more unfayorahle to the
city this year than it was last. The
members from the towns believe that in
the aggregate the city of Manitowoe was
not assessed last year to its full value.
Perhaps they are right. But We know
that taxes in this city are extremely bur
densome TO those whose property is of
that tangible sort which can be reached
by the assessor or by the board of re-
view, while those who own property the
value of which can only be ascertained
through information furnished by them
selves pay very moderate taxes. The
members from the country towns know
that men living in the city who are re-
puted to be wealthy or in comfortable
circumstances pay little or nc taxes. OF
course the county board Garnet reach in
dividuals. The city is held responsible
for the failure of those persons to list
their property or the neglect of the city
board Of review to assess this property.
The board of review of this city has taken
long strides toward making assessments
of personal property more equitable.
But attention has been mainly confined
10 ascertaining the value of such person
al property as could not well escape OBJ
seryation. Monied persons still manage
to escape their just share of the public
burden. The board has large discretion
in this matter. The oath of the person
examined by the committee is not final
so far as the value of his property is con-
cerned, and general reputation might
well be taken as q guide. Real estate in
this city and great amount of personal
property is assessed at its fun value and
III many instances at more than its value
The additional burden imposed by the
county board because of the unwarrant-
ed omission of certain property is, in
deed. u grievous affection. We do not
believe in the justice OF the law which
would exempt from taxation property
not of such a character that its extent is
not easily observable, such as money,
notes and mortgages, OF course repub-
lican legislation exempts government
bonds and greenbacks from taxation.
But if all kinds of money and securities
be exempt on the ground that interest
will thus be reduced, the burden of the
expense of public affairs Will not be shar-
ed by money lenders and the only advan-
tage resulting will be in favor of debtors.

A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION.

The following communication was ad
dressed to the County Board by Rev. H.
Jacobs. 1t will explainsitself.
NOVEMBER Is, 1880.
GENTLEMEN:-The undersigned takes
the liberty to inform your Hon. Body,
that the Sisters of st. Francis at Silver
Lake, intend to establish hospital for
the care of sick andswouuded in the city
of Manitowoc.
Said hospital will be conducted in the
most approved style, and will receive ali
sick and wounded persons entrusted to
its care without distinction of nationality
or religious creed, and at rates which
barely cover expenses, it being intended
to run the hospital as charitable insti-
tuition and not for gain.
Requesting your Hon. Body to give to
this institution such aid and encourage
ment as may seem fit to you, you are es
peclally requested to entrust to the same
the care of such sick persons as may de-
pend for their support on the county, or
the different cities and towns therein.
L remain, Gentlemen, respectfully
yours. Rev. HENRY .JAcoBs.
Pastor Of st. Boniface Cath. Congregation.

MEME.

School teachers Of this locality are
alive to the wants OF their profession and
have organized an association which will
have semi monthly meetings and at which
the best methods of instruction will be
put forward and discussed.
The benefits arising from the breeding
Of improved stock were fully shown by a
sale which Jim Ryan made the other day.
He received S125.00 in cash for q two
year old colt which was sired by Thos.
CHairon's famous Norman stallion, Mar
vel. Colts OF the same age but inferior
breeds can be readily purchased for about
half that amount. This shows conclu-
sively that it is for the best interest of
the farmer to raise the improved breed
OF not only horses, but of all other kinds
of stock.
The little SOB of P. O'Grady who was
so severely kicked by horse a few weeks
ago, is, We airs happy to state improving,
and strong hopes are now entertained OF
bis ultimate recovery.
We often heard OF the cunning of Rey
nard the fox, but he surpassed himself in
wisdom the other night on the premises
OF Luke Burns. On Luke's poultry
house is q door in which there is a hole
for the admission and exit OF the occu-
pants. The hole is q small one, yet Rey-
nard succeeded in accomplishing the diff
fcult feat of entering. He seized a small
turkey dragged her through the hole,
disabled her so that she could not escape
and then entered again. This time he
got hold of a very large gobbler which
he vainly endeavored to pull through the
opening. After Juggling away for some
time IN the useless endeavor of getting
the gobbler out. he deliberately sat down
and ate all the meat off one leg and one
side of his victim and then left with the
turkey which awaited him on the outside.
Not cord or muscle did he disturb in
partaking of his repast and when Luke
arose the next morning he found his
favorite gobbler standing upon one leg,
bale and hearty on one side throughout,
while the other was reduced to skeleton.
He at first heartily cursed the cause of
the woful catastrophy, then poultieed the
bird. As there were no muscles nor cords
injured, the poultice had the desired eff
feet and we are happy to state at this
writing that he will ultimately recover.
But Luke says the feat of the fox in eat
ing whole meal from the gobb!er with
out injuring vital part is unparalleled
in the history of foxism.
4 very distressing accident occurred
here on Sunday last. Miss Julia Sulli-
van, who teaches school in Eaton was
home on brief visit and az she was re-
turning, the horse which was driven by
her cousin, lad of about IA, became IN
manageable and ran away. The vehicle
was Oyerturned'and it's occupants thrown
violently to the ground. The driver was
somewhat bruised around the head and
face as he held on to theshorse while be
ing dragged along the ground until be
succeeded in stopping him. Miss Suli-
van did not fare SO luckily as she had one
of her legs broken .by the violent fall
She was carried home and Dr. Hayes
called, who pronounced the break not of
the worst character, but at the best it
will be many weeks before Miss S. will
be able to resume her duties.

A PLEASANT ROW.

On Sunday night Sommers' saloon was
the scene of quite lively row. A man
named Barlament was enjoying himself
in company with couple of women, who
like Sany Camp wanted to be where they
could take suthin' good when so eds
poged." The colored population of the
city was also represented and dusky
maidens glided among the sybarites as il
they were of them as wen,as among them.
But conflict of races ,ensued. The fe
male Ethiopian and Caucasian could not
hold the same course in one saloon nc
more than two stars could hold one
course in the same armament. The
question OF the superiority of the races
was tried through the medium of tooth
and nail. Africa drove her enemy from
the field and thus demonstrated that in
saloons the race is not inferior. But
Barlament's anguish was more than his
soul could bear, and his anger flowed
toward her who represented the white
race in battle and came out vanquished.
He proceeded to administer reproof with
the toe of his boot, hoping that the sub
ject would be taught double lesson,-
not to show the white feather so prompt
y and become more expert in the use OF
her feet in combat. A young man who
was looking on, interfered at this june
ture and showed Bariament that even he
had masters in the manly art of kicking.
Barlament. accepted the gage of battle
and soon was in the condition of Casa.
blanca after the explosion occurred.
Barlament can't scrape enough of him.
