Notary Public, Hennepin Co., Mimi.
AS proof that Mr.. You'd was making a
truthful statement to the TRIBUNE and that
the circulation thereof is stated substan-
TALLY correct, we produce the following
piece of crcumstantial evidence:
MIYNEAPoLIs. April 20, 1885.
/ hereby certify that have been the ad-
vertising clerk of tie Minneapolis TRIBUNE
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-04-26

OF the TRIBUNE company for the last eight
years, and as such have been in the habit
OF entering monthly the amount of paper
stock consumed each month upon the ex
pense account of said paper and my sources
OF information have been such that know
my entries to be correct. hereby certify
that the amount of paper consumed by the
TRIBUNE company for the month of March.
1885, exceeded the amount consumed dur
ing any one OF the four months preceding
MI. Blethen's taking charge of the TRIBUNE
on December 1, 1884, by 40 forty per
cent. T, SwIpr 10 ~
Sworn and subscribed to before me this
2Oth day of April, 1885.
IL. 5. w. H. GREGORY, Notary Public
Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Here it will be observed that Mr.. You'd
was making a daily report that averaged
1883 copies for four months before the
present Tribune manager came to Mime
apolls, and that the average daily report for
March was 11,29S, an increase of 40 per
cent Cashier Swift then swears that the
increase of consumption of paper in March
over ana above the average for any of those
four months named, was 40
per cent. In other words the
statement for March in
crease over that of November precisely in
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-04-26

the ratio of paper stock consumed. What
more conclusive evidence than this could be
procured that Yould's statement to the
manager was correct?
1t he has been making false reports to Mr..
Blethen, he made false reports to Gen. Net
tleton, of which there is no claim.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press charges us
with employing q peculiar cipher, and a
book of reports with lettered stubs, etc.
TO show the utter falsity to this statement,
we reproduce an exact copy Of the press
mans report, which is only plain tab,
without stub, letter OF device. The sample
is the report of Thomas You'd for March
20, 1885, one of the days named in the al
legged sworn statement. (See facsimile of
pressman'S report on next column.
This may certify that as foreman for the
Tribune Job company Gin no way connected

except the figures and signature hereby
certify that there were no devices, signs,
stubs, checks or other marks, except as ap-
pears shown on said report.

And now we hereby charge the proprie-
tors of the Pioneer Press with false deal
ing, lying, deceit and false swearing in Or
der to break down the only rival that they
fear in the Northwest. For years these
men have held undisputed sway in this ter
ritory. Within the past few months they
have seen their power slipping away.
Surely as the march of progress and the
decay of age, so surely is the Pioneer
Press passing down into the shadows
of old age. The thought is hateful to these
men who have for so many years held such
a death grip On the throats of the people.
Hence their mighty efforts to recover lost
ground. Hence the desperate means to
which they resort to injure the TRIB UNE.
Every charge made in their personal edito-
rails of April 1 and April 10 is untrue.
Not one line, not one word therein
contained is correct in any essential
particular. And now in closing this
article we beg a thousand pardons of
patrons for encroaching on their time
and patience, and leave the whole matter
with the public to say if we have proved our
viz:-That the proprietors of |
The st. Paul Pioneer Press are unmitigated |
liars, and have not stopped short Of COM |
hitting perjury or at least to swearing
falsely, which is so nearly akin to perjury |
that the distinction would be without J
difference. ''And there we leave the pro-

JOSEPH w. Drexel, who owns the
honse OF Mt. McGrcgor where Gen.
Grant died, it is said, purposes pre-
senting 1t to the government to be
kept sacred as memento of that sad
event. There may be limit to the
good sense in the observance OF so
great an occasion as the death even
of Gen. Grant. Because the nation
mourns over the departure of an IL
lustrIous citizen is no reason why we
should border on hero worship and
seek to make sacred all Of the acct
dents surrounding the great mans
death as they do in Europe when a
crowned head passes away. The
government should let Mr.. Drexel
keep his proper ty, and consecrate it
this way if he chooses. The splen-
did monuments that will rise in va
rious sections Of the country in pub
lie and private, will quite suffice to
pay tribute by the American people
to one of their great fellow citizens.

HERE is the total valuation of real
and personal property, and the
amount Of scrip out standing mp to
the 30th day Of June, 1885. and also
the tax levy which was made by
the levying court last Monday:
Total value of real and personal
property, s2,4o0,000.
New scrip outstanding, slO,S97-60.
Old scrip outstanding, $l,97LlS.
Tax levy for 1885: New scrip 5
mills on the 500; old scrip / mill on
the 800, total mills.
The levy, we understand, was made
with special reference to wiping out
our Indebtedness in judgements and
scrip, and clean the decks.
For this purpose the county tax
was raised from 40 cts. on the 800
last year, to 60 cts. this year.
This will make county and state
taxes for 1885, state mills, county
mills, in all 10 mills, or $100 on
the 500 worth Of property. Where
"a mills school tax was voted, the
tax will be SI.25 on the 800, and
where 5 mills was voted, 81 so on the
500.
The tax in this Incorporation will
s1.75.
These are lower taxes than have
been assessed IN the county since
the war, the raise in the county tax
being more than Offset by the reduc-
ton in the state tax.
Last year state and county was
LILO on the 800. This year it is
Loo. 10 cts. reduction on the total.
The advance in county taxes was
recommended..by County Judge LIN
zey, for the purpose already indicat
ed and adopted by the levying court
with that end in view.
The 5 mills new scrip tax will
take up $4,000 or little more than
was outstanding June 80. But the
expenses of circuit court and other
current expenses come between this
and tax paying, enough and more, to
absorb the surplus, or rather to Gre
ate the surplus to be absorbed.
The l mill old county will take in
$42S.S2, more than all the old scrip
outstanding.
