TO OUR VILLAGE DADS,

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
Iwould like to ask, through the TRIBUNE,
how much longer we will be obliged to
endure being thumped, bumped and
bumped over our streets? The condition
in which they are now in, and have been
for several weeks, is perfectly horrible.
1t is impossible to drive off of a walk with
out having your neck yanked out of joint
Why wern't they leveled down, instead of
leaving the dirt piled up in scraper's full?
We had better endured the mud for few
days longer and then have had smooth
streets during the summer, than to have
been pummeled up if we attempt to drive
on trot. Had our road master, who is an
expert in the horse line, an eye on fast
driving on our main thoroughfares, or
were they left in this condition as a mere
experiment? CITIZEN.

Is Big Stone county legally organized?
is question which agitates the public
mind in these parts. The assertion of
several eminent legal minds to the contrary,
very naturally creates somewhat of stir.
and the more especially SO is this the case
among interested parties, as they IRE en-
tirely in the dark as to what parts of the
act organic are vulnerable. Among some of
the legal minds, there is an opinion that
this question will not be argued or decided
at the November term of court, as the
other point involved, viz: excessive taxa
ton, is unquestionably one which will be
deci'led against the county, as the per cent.
of taxes imposed exceeded in many cases
the maximum limit prescribed by law, and
is consequently unconstitutional There
is, however, no knowing what the outcome
will be, for back of the mere question of q
legal taxation, there arc other matters
which the parties interested will undoubt
edly endeayor to force to an issue, the dis
organization of the county being the main
object in view. 1t is well known that the
acts organizing both Big Stone and Tiav.
erse were carried after hard struggle
only. and ii is altogether probable that any
flaws will be taken advantage Of by inter
ests opposed TO the present organization.

frightful causality was averted, as the

Judging from the upward tendency of
the metal or spirits in the local political
thermometer. we will soon have our an.
nual heated term, politically speaking.
Appearances indicate contest, and an ex.
tremely lively one, for the principal offices
of auditor and treasurer, and the fight,
which will begin at the caucus es. will,
from appearances, be sharply contested on
both sides. For auditor in the republican
camp the names of the present efficient
incumbent, Mr.. w. w. Griswold, and Mr..
G. J. Fisher, are prominently mentioned,
and the friends Of both parties are making
strong efforts in behalf of their favcrtes.
In the democratic wigwam there is loud
silence, and while there are some aspirants,
as yet no names have been prominently
suggested, but there will doubtless he a
good candidate selected, and We would not
be surprised to see the name of A. H.
Taisey, of Donnelly, couspicuously before
the convention for auditor For treasurer
the prospects are that some republican
from the south part of the county will be
chosen, while the democrats will Of course
unanimously endorse and re nominate the
present worthy official, Mr.. H. Whiteley
