Editor TribM1c'-Tho TRIBUNE
Of late has been doing good work in
advocating the merits Of our city to
outside parties, and indicating to its
citizens "What this ci y can be"
The articles are evidently written IN
al sincerity, and the author, no
doubt has the welfare Of the city al
heart, but in reading the last few
paragraphs in last weeks number,
the conclusion can not we'll be avoid
ed that it was written without Civ
ing the subject mature thought, or
the author had become thoroughly
imbued with the spirit Of resentment
pursued by a few taxpayers who
were dissatisfied with the assessment
Of two years ago.
1t may not be an improper qpes-
ton to ask, if the author can give
any good reason why men that own
from twenty to fifty thousand dol
lars should pay taxes on but three
hundred aud fifty dollars, while
another whose all consists Of q house
and lot valued at six hundred dollars,
should be compelled to pay taxes on
more than the whole amount of his
property would bring? Can be give
single good reason why certain
parties are neutrality-suspicious.
Ito return to the assessor their
sworn statement that they are not
worth over one hundred and fifty
! dollars while it is notorious fact
that they own upwards Of twenty
thousand dollars? He claims that
s'if the old and successful farmers
Of this vicinity could know tnat
their own statement Of values would
be accepted, there would be such q
looking tow "a this town us never
before THIS statement is true with
oat doubt, but we deny that the
town would be benefited in The least
by such an influx.
The sentiments uttered by him in
regard to treating the stranger with
"open.hearted, CHEEKY, how-do-you-
do, glad to see you," will meet with
hearty endorsement, but it is doubt
full if he would be willing to carry
this to such an extent as to violate
justice and encourage eyasions anC
eoncealments. lie says that "thii
hos pitality is not official but indi
yidual," which is all well and good
but in the next sentence be denieI

THE CITY ELECTION.
Republicans Routed as Usual.

Mineral Point is still subject
for compassion and transformation.
But little comment is necessary on
the result Of Tuesdays ballot-box
battle. All observing persons can
readily detect the "why and whore
for" In this as in all other cities
Democracy has a certain following,
but here that element is power be-
fore the throne. Beech, the success
ful Republican, was fortunate in the
fact that his opponent had opposi-
ton within his own party, otherwise
he too might have been boxed up
and sent on trip to Salt River.
There's victory in the air, however.
All the leading cities in the state
have tested the evils of Democratic
supremacy, and this Spring they
have freed themselves and hoisted
high the Republican banner and all
the goodness which it implies. Let
us hope that Mineral Point will uol
be long in following in the wake.
The result is in accordance with
these figures;
