At this very moment Dundee is face face with land question involving the expenditure of twenty or thirty thous- and pounds or the loss of one of its lar gest public parks The Barrack Park, which was at one time the possession of the Crown, and has been for many years the common recreation ground of the people of Dundee, at nominal feu duty payable to the Earls of Home, is to be taken from the city at the expira- ton of the present lease, unless they care to purchase it at a ransom. Of course the town is eager to obtain pos session; but the G30,000l This sum, or something very near it, will, however, have to be paid, for as building land it IS worth as much. The land which would have brought at the beginning of the century merely the price of an OK, will now sell for the dowry of prin- cess, And why2 Not because the Earls of Home have toied to enhance it's value-the inhabitants of Jupiter hake done as much as they-but because tha town of Dundee has grown from a town of 5000 to 150,000; because it's citizens have invented and utilized ma chinery, which has converted con- fined and fortified village into four ishing and expanding city.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Chicago Worlds Fair Committee claim that they have secured the assent of the necessary majority of Congress-, men to the location of the Exhibition of 1899 in that city. No one questions the superior title of Chicago to be the seat of an international exhibition of police brutality and capitalistic rascaity, al though in this respect New York has shown that she could compete with her Western sister. But although we are thoroughly cosmopolitan, we must admit that New York is the right place for Worlds Fair of Industry, which will be the occasion of great Interna- tional Congress of Labor It is probably because they fear the consequences of such congress that the manufacturing potentates of the East are sc slow in subscribing to the guarantee fund.

 Please allow me to say that endorse most heartily Phillip Rappaports letter in regard to the Nationaiists. They are certainly "nine-tenths socialists" I am not sure but they are eleven-tenths in stead of nine. Some of them are gener- ous enough to wish to divide the prod. ucts of labor equally, and give the un. fortunate one (when he does his best, it is presumed) as good a chance as the robust and skillful have. People who are willing thus to do more than can fairly be asked of them are not the ones to be slighted, however cultured or conservative they may happen to be. Their conservatism is not more than skin deep, and culture has not made them aristocrats at heart. J. L. PECK.

renee county, its board of commissioners
and gross and direct insult and fling at
Meade county officers and citizens.
If the Lawrence county board thinks
for moment that Meade county pro-
poses to stand it, it is off. This will be
fought in the courts to the bitter end.
Our board of commissioners should at
once set our attorney at work on the
case with instructions to push it through
to the end. Had the officious commiss-
toner's of Lawrence acted the manly,
honorable part they would have refused
the rebate on account of the short time
in which the property in question would
be under their Jurisdiction, because the
matter was occupying the attention Of
the courts at the time and because the
temporary injunction obtained by Woods
was still in force and had not been dis
solved.
There is cause for a righteous kick
from the taxpayers Of Meade county.
This is only sample of what we may
expect to get in the future settlement
with these same Lawrence county Off
cials. 1t is dastardly work, and should
be resented.

WHY Is THIs7

Commissioners of Lawrence and Meade
counties met yesterday for the purpose
of apportioning Indebtedness. Inasmuch
as such cannot be determined until all
bills have been presented, adjournment
was taken until July 10.-Times.
For the benefit of Lawrence county
authorities we would call attention to the
following, taken from the Meade county
act:
Sec. 13 The county of Meade organ
lied under this act, shall assume and
pay as hereinafter provided, just pro-
portion of the indebtedness of Lawrence
county from which it is segregated, based
upon the assessed valuation Of said Law
renee county for the year 1888, and upon
the proportion that the valuation within
the county of Meade bears by the assess
ment of 1888 to the valuation within the
whole of Lawrence county, and it here
by is made the duty of the county COM
missioners of both the counties Of Meade
and Lawrence to meet together at the
county seat of Lawrence county on the
1st day of July, 1889, and at said meeting
they shall ascertain as near as may be
the total outstanding Indebtedness of
Lawrence county on the LIST day of July,
the date of the joint session provided for
in this section, and from the total they
shall make the following deductions. X y
1t will be observed that this act says
the commissioners of both counties shall
meet together in Deadwood on the LIST
day of July, and at said meeting ''sHA1h
ASCERTAIN AS NEAR AS MAY BE the total
outstanding Indebtedness" etc. 1t does
not say that they can meet the 10th, and
then if the accounts are not all audited
adjourn until August or December. But
one date is set, and that is July 1.
A claim against county is not debt
until that claim is audited and allowed
by the commissioners. The law states
plainly that on July l the Indebtedness
must be computed and the adjustment
between the counties made. All bills
not allowed by the board Of commission
ers of Lawrence county prior to July l
cannot be divided up and portion put
upon Meade county. Every June bill
audited after July ! must be taken by
Lawrence county alone. They are a
part of the business of July and the new
fiscal year, and can no more be put upon
us than can Meade county make Law
renee pay all of our new county expenses
prior to July l.
The tactics of Lawrence county off,
cials are we'll understood by Meade
county. We know what to expect, but
we do not propose to be played for rank
suckers, and swallow bait, hook, line and
pole. Meade county will pay her share
of allindebtedness of Lawrence up to
July l, but will not pay red cent for
anything belonging to the business Of a
new fiscal year. Not nick!
