THEY SAY

RS~
The Indianapolis conference will
be a great event in the history of
the negro,
The Campaign will be red hot.
Colored men will be employed in
the canvas.
G. J. Taylor is the clown of
| the West.
He has the largest head of all
negro democrats, and the most
empty.
r. w. Laws is democrat of the
first water.
The republican party would not
care for him, but the democrats
did.
Look out for the BEE i'm it's new
dress.
Misses Nalle or Merritt will be
appointed to the Banneker school.
Both are good teachers.
Anything is good enough for a
negro thinks the white man.
When will the citizens have a
say in the management of the
schools.
The trustees should take hold
of the superintendent and not the
principal of the High School.
Change the superintendent then
you will have a decent High school.
Take hold of the obsticle and
not the thing that is success.
The High school is in better
condition now than it has ever
been.
More work and less talk.
James Butler will be removed
from the the county. The charge
is incOmpitency.
Mr.. Butler certainly is compe-
tant enough to teach the alphabet.
Keen the supervising principal
recommended his removal. Keen
dOsn't care too much for o negro.
1t is not incompiteney but be-
cause white man dosen't like him.
If DR.. Francis was in the county
he would have backbone enough
to retain him.
The colored people need man
on the school board with back
bone.
Anything Keen says goes so far
as negro is concerned.
The day of retribution will soon
come.
From and after this date new
subscribers for the BEE must pay
for it i'll advance.
New subscribers must let their
money accompany their subscrip-
tion for the BEE.
The tri-weekly BEE will be print
ed in this office on a new cylinder
press.
The BEE job office is the only
Office in the city that dose all kinds
of job and book work.
a white mans word has great
weight with some colOred people.
Some negroes occupying the
same position white man does,
very often think themselves socially
and officially his inferior.
The new generation is learning
little better sense.
Mr.. Douglass has bought an in.
terest IN the ADVOCATE.
This has been contradicted by
one very near to the old man.
Cromwell wants too much money
for a small thing.
If a thing is worth having it is
worth paying for.
1t is hoped that alphabetical
Taylor will visit Washington soon.
He will know how to run a pa
per when the BEE is through with
him.
He laughs best who laughs last.
Short sermons i'm the summer is
what is needed now.
Never laugh at the down fall Of
your enemy.
A national convention will be
called soon.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-05-02

South Haven leads all the townships
in the amount of Indebtedness per acre
of the farms mOrtgaged, the amount
being Sl6.43
These figures show that if the entire
mortgage Indebtedness of the county is
owned by persons residing i'm the state,
81 ,233 207 will be assessed To two differ
ent parties, the person owning the land
and the person owning the mortgage
upon the real estate. If all men were
i'm debt alike, there would be no hard
ship i'm this; but now the men who own
real estate and who neither borrow nor
lend are the gamers by this double
assessment. This state of affairs will
doubtless be laid to the new mortgage
law, but if all men were assessed for
what they We're really worth, before
this took effect, there would be no
great difference in the assessment of
personal property this year and last
years assessment
Under the present law, the debtor
pays taxes upon real estate for the full
value rs fixed by the assessor, thereby
paying taxes upon what he does not
own. 1t is claimed by some that the
present law has already had the effect
Of raising the rate of interest, by cauS-
my HlOuty lpdntlS 10 NllnuldN lHtll
capital from the state; but why this
should he So ! cannot see, rs the law
discriminateS i'm favor of the non-resi-
dent, rs he is not compelled To pay
taxes under it, while before, if the
assessors did their duty, he would be
taxed through his agent.
There are certainly defects i'm the
present law, but what new law was
ever enacted that was not liable to the
same imputation? And were To sug-
gest any radical change, it would be To
assess all mortgages rs real property
and then, when the debtor paid his
taxes, let him pay the whole of them
upon his landed property; then if he
owed 81 900 upon "A piece of real estate
that was assessed for 81, 000 let the tax
upon 81 900 apply as interest; and if the
mortgage owes a third party, let this
sum be deducted from his debts and
the third party be assessed for what he is
worth; then no one would be paying
taxes on more property than he i
worth.
This branch of taxation should re-
ceive more attention from our law
makers i'm the future than il has i'm the
past, as there is certainly injustice in
the present workings of the law.

Leaping Salmon of Canada.

The salmon rivers of Canada are all
streams of swift currents, whirling rapids
and high falls. The salmon seems 10
make its way up tlsse streams with as
much ease as he moves down. One Of
the sights in the vicinity of Quebec Is
the salmon leaping at the Falls Of
Lovette, and during July many persons
assemble there to see it. The falls are n
succession Of steep tumbles, and the water
PUSHES over the rocks with great velocity.
The salmon gather at the foot of the
lower tumble. and, with marvellous leaps
up the very face Of the rushing waters,
make their way to the summit without
apparent difficulty, gliding up the swift
chutes like a flash and mounting each
successive tumble until the grand sum.
NIT is reached. The Canadian will tell
you that when there was no legal inter-
ference with spearing, the Indians were
in the habit Of gathering at the foot Of
the falls in their birch canoes and cast
ing their spears at the salmon as they
leaped up the torrents, making their
casts with such marvellous skill that the
salmon aimed nj was invariably stopped

The idea is simply prcposterous that
the peopl sent to the penitentiary should
live in ] ieness. They should have the
benefit Of their labor, and if you give
them the benefit of their labor they will
turn out as good work as though they
were out Of the penitentiary. They vii!
have the same reason 10 do their best.
Consequently, poor articles, poorly CON
structed things, would not come mo
competition with good articles made by
free people outside Of the walls.
Now many mechanics are complaining
because work done in the penitentiaries
is brought into competition with their
work. But the only reason that convict
work is cheaper is because the pCc:
wretch who does it is robbed. The only
reason that the work is poor j. because
the man who does it has no interest in
its being good. If he had the profit Of
his own labor he would do the best that
was in him, and the consequence would
be that the wares manufactured in the
prisons would be as good as those manu-
featured elsewhere. For instance, we
will say here are three or four men work.
