The Prog Age discusses the county finances
in the same manner in which it commented up
on Gen. Halls lecture. 1t attributes to the
journal language Of its own, and then pro-
ceeds to argue case made up on that basis
/ This is in accordance with the usual cuttle-tish
tactics of the Age when it finds itself in bad
position. and we regret to say that it is seldom
found iii any other position In pointing out
! existing abuses, with the hone that stems might
! be taken for their correction. The Journal had
/ in view the relief of all the fax navers in tbe
comfy. and not those of belfast alone. and in
this connection the PROPORTION of the tax maid
BY the city of Belfast is wholly immaterial. The
burdens are borne bv all the tax PAYERS. whether
they live in the city or out of it.
The Journal did not attack the Supreme Court
or the County Commissioners, and made no
| charge that the laws have been violated II did
not complain that these criminal costs were
'sallowed.n but it did complain that large pro-
portion of them are needlessly incurred. and
POINTED out how this is done and why if is done
and we propose to agitate the matter until the
evil is remeded. Nothing the journal has said
reflects so severely on the nresent countv Az
