The Burlington Gazette says something that
may be apropos here: every town that is devo

ted, far outstrps those which are better located
but depend upon trade and commerce. This is
SO clearly shown in the case OF Jersey City, which
increased its population from 5000 in 1870 to
10, 900 in 1850, Newark from l05 600 to lSG, 600
and Pitsburg from 81, 900 to 1853 900, that nothing
could add to the argument. No western city
shows such growth rs this, though they may be
situated in states the most rapidly advancing in
population. Towns and cities will advance in
population to the extent in which they engage

our own city and engage in commerce and trade,
If we wish to become great and growing city.
Everybody can see the effect that great and
growing railway corporations have in furnishing
employment to the hundreds Of the city, for
their business and needs demand labor of all
kinds and is allied to great manufactory. Our
people should become stirred up to the impor
lance Of the subject. There ought to be no diff
fculty in raising at home all funds necessary to
carry out every project for manufacturing"

Look at this: "The supervisors in Ford county
have taken new tack in the matter of assess

county recorder TO make out a list, from the
county records, OF all the mortgages flled giving
amounts and name and residence OF owner and

fine peroration: "Such a plan might work to

Lawrence, 80 that Ottawa, a strongly democratic

republicans could say nothing Of "pnrtisanshp."
