The bill which has passed both hous-
es authrizing the commissioners of Phil
lips county 10 issue bonds to fund the
county Indebtedness is being condemned
BY many claiming that it was done in
the Interests Of capitalists who hold the
outstanding warrants, and that If the
voters of the county had demanded the
refunding of the indebtedness it should
have been done by vote. We look at
this matter in rather a different light,
as parties who hold the warrants have
the power to sue the county and got
judgment, whereupon direct tax must
be levied to satisfy the judgment and
costs. At present our taxes are high
enough, and if we can avoid increasing
the rate it is certainly to our interests to
do so.-Logan Enterprise.

Editor Herald
Dear Sir AS an exhibition of ar
rogance and cheek, the last issue of
Greenback organ, the Independent,
has no equal. With all the assurance
of an English cockney, it sets itself up
as mentor for the people" as their
mouth piece, so to speak, taking it for
granted that its own communistic
howls reiterate the sentiment of the
intelligent citizens of the county.
That egotistical sheet would do well
to assert its own sentiments, and not
assume to express the sentiments of
Others. In one short paragraph of its
last issue it uses the word "people''
just eight times. Oh! what a honied
morsel that word 'people" must be as
it rolls around the forked tongue of
its astute (?) editor.
I, myself, am one of the "people'
spoken of by that self instituted men
tor, and I assure you that the think
ing class of my community, do not be-
lieve it would be for our best interest
to repudiate our honest debts if we
had the power nor do we believe that
it would be judicious to allow
a judgment with several thou
sand dollars costs to be rendered
against us neither do we think it adj
visabIe to allow our warrants to be de-
preciated to IS cents on the dollar by
capitalists in order that they may
speculate in nonresident taxes, and
witness and juror fees. We are com
PEELED to attend court as witnesses and
jurors and receive fees in county war
rants which we are forced to sell for
Is or 80 cents on the dollar; in a few
years we are compelled to pay those
self same warrants at enc hundred
cents on the dollar, together with the
seven per cent, interest thereon. Is
this jnstice? But we do believe that
it would be the best to exchange an
Indebtedness drawing 7s%per cent. for
one drawing 5 or 6 per cent. and we
do believe it would be better to pay
cash for our county supplies thereby
saving at leasts$1 900 per year in that
and we do think it would'be better to
extend our Indebtedness for ten or fif-
teen years, at the expiration of which
time our property valuation will have
increased at least four fold, and the
burden would scarcely be felt.
Whereas on the contrary, if we were
forced to pay it now (Which we GER
tainly will be, if we do not fund.- and |
at the end of a judgment with heavy |
costs it would indeed be heavy bur- |
den on the'present tax payers. while
a large majority who would pay taxes
in ten years would escape. I ask in
the name of common sense and COM
mon justice would this be right I
believe that the good sense of the peo-
pie of this county will answer no! 1
ask you, fellow citizen, to consider
this matter carefully for yourselves,

pie" for pecuniary advantages and

In q speech made BY Judge Foraker, the
Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio,
and printed in the Herald Of July q, sp-
pears the following:
'If these facts are not sufficient 10 satisfy
Judge Hoadly that the Republican party
is not ut fault for q failure to convict the
Star reuters, let me call his attention to
some facts about the first trial, when the
jury disagreed. II l am not mistaken the
Jury at that trial stood nine for conviction
aud three for acquittal. And who are the
men who were for scquittalf 1t will be
sufficient to speak of q Of them The
foreman Of that jury was Mr.. Vim. Dick.
son. He is q Democrat, and q Democrat OF
intelligence and standing in his party. He
was for Tilden and reform in 1876. 1 have
been informed that he was then the presi-
tent of the Tilden and Hendricks club in
Washington City, and 1 have hesrd it said
that he enjoyed the promise OF Mr.. Tilden
tbat as a reward for his services be was to
be Marshal Of the District of Columbia
when Mr.. Tilden got to be President. He
will doubtless be for The old ticket and his
marshslship in 1884"
We are informed by a gentleman whose
personal relations to Mr.. Tilden are known
10 the Sun, and who is not one Of those
mythical friends" who have recently pre-
t,nded to speak for Mr.. Tilden, that the eI.
istence of such . person as Mr.. William
Dickson was totally unknown to Mr.. Til
den until he turned up as a Juror in the
Star Route trial. The story that he had
any sort Of assurance from Mr.. Tilden,
directly or indirectly, in regard TO any ap-
pointment is an unmitigated falsehood.
Neither he nor any other person had any
such assurance. In Mr.. Tilden's letter OF
June IS, 1880, declining a Presidential
nomination, is the following authentic
statement:
E3"It is my right and privilege here to say
hat / was nominated and elected to the
Presidency absolutely free from any en-
ssgement in respect to the exercise OF Its
powers or the disposal OF its patronage.

moral standards in the competition OF par
lies"

eInor of Ohio.

a GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF WEST
VIRGINIA..

The work to be done by the United
States Geological Survey in West Vir-
PIMA is likely to be begun during the
present year. The plan and scope of
the work to be undertaken In the Stste'
has been laid out by Director POWELL
and approved by the Secretary of the
Interior. This plan includes an exam
nation of the geological structure and
mineral resources Of parts of Alabama,
Mississippi, Virginia, West Virginia,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Cali
fornia and Colorado.
West Virginia is fortunate in being
included among the first of the States
to have tie benefit of the survey. 1t is
probable that such opposition will be
brought to bear in Congress as will in
tercept the work before it hasbeen COM
pleted in all the States. 1t is held by
he opponents of the work that Congress
as no right to undertake surveys out
lie of the territories or the public do
ain. The New York "Times" ar
gins the policy on this ground, and in
editorial article Of Tuesday says:
70 one denies that authority for max

ing geological surveys In the Terrific
ries and in the area that Is owned BY
the Government can be constitutionally
given. No one opposes the progress OF
surveys on the public domain. But
why should those persons who have al
ready been taxed to pay for geological
surveys made in their own States by
State authority be forced to pay q part
Of the cost Of similar surveys in other
States, the inhabitants Of which are I'M
willing to do the work themselves?
This Is one of the questions asked by
those who desire TO confine the Federal
survey to the Territories and public
lands. There are States in which elab-
crate and costly geological surveys
have been made. The citizens of these
States have paid for these surveys. Is
il fair to ask them to pay for work OF
TIE same kind in Alabama and West
Virginia?
Again, why should the general Gov
eminent expend money in revealing
the mineral wealth hidden in private
property? IL may very properly un-
cover the riches which have been con
cealed beneath the surface of its own
iduu-lut ldlu Ludl 10 LAcCOuILlOh PIOp-
erty of the Nation-but why should it
spend the money yielded by national
tsxatiOn in mapping out the coal and
iron of West Virginia for the direct
benefit Of corporations, spectators, and
others who W the land? That is
work for the private owners them
selves, and they will do it If they fail to
induce the Government to do 1t for
them. There are other questions con-
corning the cost Of the proposed work
and the existence Of any constitutional
warrant for using Federal money in the
development OF private property. The
appropriation for this year is 500, 700,
but much larger sums will be required
if the Government is to make q COM
plete geological survey Of the States. 1t
Is not probable, however, that the cost
Of the work will equal Mr.. Blackburn's
estimate, which was S50,0O0,OO0.
