PLACE THEBLAME PROPERLY

PLACE THEBLAME PR OPERLY.
In another part of this issue will be
found a communication which reports the
proceedings OF a meeting held at Willow
Bend, in this county. 1t is only one OF
many similar meetings, we are given to
understand, which are now being held by
substantial, handwriting citizens in vari-
Gus partg of the county, and we feel sin
cerely complimented that they should Sc
lect The LEADER as the paper in which
they wish to express their views and from
which they may most reasonably hope for
aid.
The predominating feeling among these
hard working people is one Of irritation
over previously high taxation. They
keenlY appreciate that taxes are high be-
cause the matter is brought home to them
individually through the medium of the
official notices with which the county
treasurer is now deluging the country.
Realizing this fact they see but two ways
out of the difficulty. One is by cleaning
Oul III nuRCdD sldDlCs 81 lOuS W plhSu ny
the Republican court house ring and the
other is by securing pledges from the can
didates for the legislature that in the
event of their election they will
support a measure which contemplates the
adjustment of fees and the establishment
of a ~castiron fixed remuneration for each
county official.
A careful perusal of the letter shows
that the voters of Willow Bend, in com
mon perhaps with many others, are con,
WINGED that the largely increased taxation
of this year is due entir ely to reckless ex-
travagance in the management OF county
affairs. For reasons which are quite obvi-
GUS to the people of this city industrious
efforts have for months been made to
bamboozle the people of the country dis
tricts. Reports most glaringly false in
character have been circulated and, as
usual, the Sun of this city has added its
uninteligent yawp to swell the hue and
cry. Behind it all was the very man of
whom our correspondents express such
unmeasured condemnation. 1t was he
who pulled the string and it was at his
behest that the puppets danced. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary to say that we refer
TO Judge Isaac Bergman, who is now a
fifth term candidate for the Office of county
treasurer, which he has held for the past
eight years.
1t will be found that the county taxes
this year are 1913 mills on the dollar as
compared with Is. 4-10 mills in 1857. The
territorial taxes were 3.l5-l, 900 mills on
the dollar in 1887 while in 1888 they had
jumped to 6.2-lO mills. The people of
school district No. l we're last year called
upon to pay taxes at the rate OF % mills
on the dollar while this year they must
pay Al mills.
To whose benefit does it chiefly rebound
that a heavy tax roll is footed up? To the
assessor on the one hand and to the
count treasurer on the otker, is the only
reasonable answer. Big cash balances in
the banks, percentages on the money
which comes in and goes out. these are

FROM Judge Carey's official biography,
found in that congested repository of ford
statistical information, the Congressional
Record, we are led to the reasonable con-
clusion that as an oficeholder the third
term candidate tor delegate is a good deal
of a success. He began life by being born
in Delaware in lS45. In 1867 he was
admitted to the bar in Philadelphia. Two
years later, upon the organization of this
territory he was appointed United States
attorney for Wyoming. In 1871
he resigned the Office, but
not before he had received the appoint
ment of associate Judge. He held that
position for FIVE years. He was mayor of
this city for three terms and has been in
congress two terms. Judge Carey has
lived in Wyoming nineteen years. Dur
ing that period he has held Office for four.
teen years, and still he is anxious for a
third term in congress.
Judge Carey is a good man, a very
good man, but hasn't he had enough?

Ware Peck on the subject of home rule in

truths and makes some comparisons with

Judge Peck will fall with soothing and

BY the way, nothing has been heard
officially from the Republican territorial
committee in regard to the proposition of
the Democratic committee for a confer
ence to devise means to prevent corrup-
ton at the polls. Are the boys taking
time by the forelock with the expectation
of accepting the proposition later or don't
they care to place themselves on record?

LONDON, November 21.-In the Com.
mons this afternoon Madden, solicitor
for Ireland, moved the second reading
of the Irish land purchase bill.
Labouchere moved that the bill be re-
jeeted. He complained of the undue
haste in which the measure was being
pressed and said it vas obvious that the
desire. on the part of the government
was to prevent the country from con-
sidering further proposals on the ques-
ton of land purchase. He doubted il
Parliament had obtained at the last
election any authority to legislate upon
this question, the immense import
ance of which required the special
sanction of the country. Sir George
Otto Trevelyn, Liberal, warned the
House if it assented to the bill it would
not be able to stop further grants and
would soon be called upon and com
PEELED to advance more millions.
Among the dangers of the Ashbourne
act, not the least was that it committed
the British taxpayer to a system of
landlord purchase, which gave no good
security fox advances, and which left
the tenant in a position to repudiate If
bad years rendered him unable to pay
his instalimeDts. &&
On motion of Parnell the debate was
adjourned.

Charles 7. Parsons, of Northampton,

Polander dressed only in overalls, shoes

excited over the matter, and Parson' IS
arrest is all that saved him from being

for assault, false Imprisonment and
cruelty. Parsons was released on bail
this evening, and will appear to-mor-
row. He alleges that the Pole had
been showing signs of insanity, and
that he was going to send him back
to New York. The PoIs and his
friends refute this assertion and tell
a story of Parsons cruelty which
has created great excitement. The
Pole says he has had to work since last
spring from early morn till eleven at
night, while Sundays he was kept at
work in the barn. He has been prom
lsed $3.50 per month, but never re-
ceived cent and got very poor food.
