monopoly parties. It is q characters.
tic Butler paper, and Of course shows
no lack of ability. He is very severe
on both political parties and finally
washes his hands of the Democrats.
What effect Butler's candidacy will
have on the campaign is uncertain, but
the general belief is that he will draw
more support from the Democrats than
the Republicans, aud thus increase
the chances Of a Republican victory.

DELINQUENT Taxes.

OoO0QUenL I61oBs
Persons who have not yet paid their
real estate taxes will please notice that q
list Of delinquent real estate and town
lots is now in preparation and will be ad-
vertised the first week in September pre-
paratory to the sale the first Monday in
October. As this occurs before crops can
be marketed it will be somewhat Of a
hardship to many, but the law leaves no
discretionary power. As the property
may be redeemed at any time before two
years it does not make any material
difference to the owner except in the
matter Of costs which are
less than Five Dollars. I would
advise all to settle as soon as they can, a.
the interest is heavy under any circum-
stances, yet it may pay better to allow the
lands to be sold than to borrow money at
too heavy rates of interest.

Railroad Taxation

The st. r, NJ. 4 NJ. Ry. own 323 miles
oftrack in this county, ON which they
paid taxes amounting to about $500 for
1883, Of which the territory took one-third
leaving about $1,000 for this county. The
road bed. buildings, right Of way, and roll
ling stock, should be worth at least $780,
900 mile. say $780, 900. At the average
rate of taxation IN the townships through
which the railroad passes, $500, 600 worth
of other property pays $1,000 in taxes of
which the territory gets about one-ninth
or $1,000. and county, townships and
schools get the rest. And yet railroads
are not satisfied.
This company own lots in large
numbers in the town Of Pembina,
which is now two and half miles from

They have refused to pay taxes in
these towns, both county and municipal,

shall send to the next Legislative As

evening, Sept. 6, q caucus will be held
in each township to elect delegates to
the county Republican convention to
be held at Bathgate the following
Tuesday. At this convention dele.
gates will DO elected to the district
convention to be held for the four
counties Of Penbina, Walsh, Ramsey
and Cavileer, at which six candidates
will be put in nomination, two for the
council and four for the lower house.
OF these six two will be named from
this county. At the Bathgate conven-
ton, therefore, delegates will be elect.
ed who will have the say as to who
shall represent us in the next Legisla-
tive Assembly. But the issue of this
convention will be virtually decided
before that date, viz: at the caucuses
on the evening Of Sept. 6. If for in
stance, a majority of those delegates
should be in favor of Mr.. LaMoure for
the council he will DO nominated at the
district convention, in all probability,
even though afterwards he might fail
to get a majority in his own county.
The people Of this county must wake
up before the date of the caucuses or
no amount Of effort or enthusiasm
afterwards can undo any mistake made
at the convention, at least SO far as
making choice Of candidates to the
Legislature is concerned, for the men
that the republicans of Pembina coun-
ty put forward will be endorsed by
that party in the other three counties
and subsequently elected, without
doubt. Let every voter ponder this
question and govern his action accord.
