OUR CHAMBERLAIN LETTER.

Editor GRApH1c:
The County Commissioner were in session
here the greater part Of last week and have dis
posed of a great amount of work. skerry, the
new commissioner, did splendidly for the begin
ming, and everyone is we'll pleased with him as a
commissioner except the temperance people
who think that he ought to have voted for no
license. He told them that he was nota temper
ance man and if they had asked him before they
elected him he would have told them 30.
The temperance people are on the war-path
and they propose to make it interesting for the
saloon men who violate the law by keeping open
after ii P. NJ, and on Sunday. and that they will
prosecute them to the full extent of the law, and
ere many days they expect to have all of the sa-
loon keepers in the cooler.
Our new county officials are installed in their
respective offices, and they are as nice a set of
Democrats as you can find in a months travel
and 1 will miss my guess if they don't prove to
be good ones. T. Kilfeather. successor to D. w.
Spaldine, Us Register of Deeds is doing nicely in
his office and shows himself to be a thorough
gentleman and capable of attending to the duties
Of the Office. j. e. Jenkins us Treasurer and a
man that weare proud of in every respect. ].
b. Ryan as Sheriff is a young man of fine appear
ance and will make a good Sheriff as the law
breakers will find out when he gets after them.
We remember that J.. b. used to pound us when
we were boys together in Iowa. but he can't do il
now. We hope that John will move here in the
near future or appoint us deputy. ) .Lafabre as
Probate Judge and J. A. stroube as District At
torney, and all good Democrats. good enough.

or Interest to Tax Payers.

Editor GRAPHIC:
Iwould like to have the town
trustees of Kimban inform the public where they
find their authority for allowing the City Mar
shnl to have full charge and control of the as
sessment roll and tax list of the town. Sec. IS,
Chap. "a OF the political code Of Dakota. says;
THE assessment roll and tax list shall he de-
posted with the treasurer Of said town who is
hereby charged with the safe custody of the
same.'..'
The trustees of a town may cause n copy there's
Of with warrant annexed to be given to the Mar
shall, but only a copy. The law is explicit on
this point. 1 understand that in addition to thiA
the town trustees allow MIR. Wright four per
cent. on all taxes collected. Can they inform
the public where they find their authority for SO
doings Certainly not in the code of Dakota
a book. by the way. they seem totally unfamiliar
with. The collecting of municipal taxes is one
OF the duties of the Marshal for which he is en-
titled to no extra fees. The town Clerk, Marshal
and similar town officials are only entitled to
such salary as the town trustees may fix in their
bylaws ind in the case of the Marshal especially
no provision can be found in the code of Dakota
allowing him extra fees for performing his duty
as made and provided. Under the present regi-
me it is impossible for n ci tizen to pay his taxes
to the city treasurer, J. w. circuit, but he must
pay them TO MIR. Wright and for which he re-
celves four per cent.
Another thing and l will not trespass any fur
thor upon your space. Why isl that no report
of the money disbursed by the town Trustees has
eyer been published i'll either of the Kimlaall
napers. The public might be intrusted in know
ing something about whore the $3.50 water fund
and the Sl,521 street grading fund went to and
other matters equally interesting.
TAX PAYER.
I'VE have frequently asked for q report of the
money discussed and have been promised it, but
it never has boon compiled. Hereafter, however,
a report of all council proceedings will be pub
lished in full in the GRAPHIC, one of which ap-
uears in this issue.-Ed.l

Reasons Those InOrdinateiy Fond Of the
 Bivsive Can Give for the Indulgence.
 In all countries there are records of the excessive fondness of great men for oysters. Cervantes was an oyster lover, and he satirized the oyster-deal- CTS of Spain. Louis IX.. careful lest scholarship should become deficient in France. feasted the learned doctors of the Sorbonne once a year on oysters; and another Louis invested his cook with an order of nobility as a reward for his oyster-cOOkery. Napoleon, also, was an oySter-lOver; SO was Rous- seau. and Marshal Turgot used to eat hundred or two just to whet his appe- tite for breakfast. Invitations to dish of oysters were common in the literary and artistic circles of Paris at the latter end of the last century. The encyclo- padiSts were particularly fond of oys- terS. Helyetius, Diderot and the Abbe Raynsl, Voltaire and others were con- firmed oyster-men. Before the RevO- lution violent politicians were in the habit of constantly frequenting tho ParisiAn oysteT-shopS, and Danton. Robespierre and others were fond of the oyster in their days of innocence. The great Napoleon, on the eve of his battles. used to part2ke of the bivalve. and Cambarceres WAS famous for his shell-hat bsnquetS. Even at this day the consumption of oysters in Paris is enormous; according to recent statis- ties the quantity eaten there is one mill ion per day.
 Among the British celebrities Alex ander Pope was an oyster eater of taste, and SO was Dean Swift, who was fond of lobster as well. Thomson. of the Seasons, who knew all good things knew how good a thing an oyster was. The learned Dr. Richard Bentley could never pass an oyster shop without hay ing a few, and there have been hun dreds of subsequent Englishmen who, without coming up to Bentley in other respects. have reSembled him in this.

THR irsl ruling of the Treasury De- ,rtneu. ou the amended Chinese Re s,r.ction Act has been received from Washington. It embodies the cores p5Hience between Secretary Manning sni Collector Sears of this port. The or.BiUu on the subject Is delivered by ! McCue. Solicitor of the Treasury. Ias important part of the ruling is that e55ering clause 6 of the Act of 1884, Ez!.h provides for a certificate to be issued by the Chinese government or by iAs t0relgn government of which the C1lese person is a subject to identify every Chinese person not a lsborer en- tiled under the treaty to come within ls United States. The Solicitor of the Ir5ssury on this says: It may be con- sisr5i that the diplomatic or consular o.a,srs oi China duly accredited to for ssu ports represent there the Chinese government and then the certificate IS pgoPe, This decision affirms that Chi less o5rslis have a right to issue their oF1 -tifcates to Chinese returning to Cl.as and that such certif cates must be Escognized as valid by the United States government on the return of those Cai- nese c. this country.
