Bonding the County.

Does Pullman favor the bonding Of
the county in the manner proposed by
the bill now pending in Congress? The
answer is an emphatic NO, and for the
following reasons: The county is toe
large and that it must in short time be
divided is an admitted fact; even the bill
in a manner recognizes division. How
will the county be divided? Until this
question is settled Pullman does not
desire to make investments in county
that she may not belong to, thus being
at expense without receiving benefit.
But the friends of the bill will tell you
that in case the county is divided, the
part segregated will be relieved from
paying for the courthouse. Where is
their authority for such a statement
Certainly not in tho bill, and certainly
not in any law book. Then it must be
an idle assertion, made to deceive.
We are not opposed to building suit
able county buildings, provided the bill
will state in specific terms that, in the
event of the division Of the county, the
part segregated shall be forever released
from all obligation to pay the bonds, OF
the interest thereon, or any part thereof;
and that the county retaining the build
ipgs Will refund to the new counties the
amount paid by them on the bonds from
the time of issuing of the bonds, until
they are segregated. II the provision
in the present bill means to do this, as
is claimed for it, then the friends of the
bill can have no objection to making
the statement specific. But this viii
not be done for the simple reason that a
certain part of the county desires all the
benefits and wants the other part to pay
for them. The bill, as it now stands as
regards the refunding provisions, is SO
indefinite and uncertain that any court
would be compelled to reject the whole
proviso clause for its uncertainty. We
are therefore opposed to it.

very small beginning in a modest little
building on what is now Grand-st., he
has, by strict attention to business and
honesty in dealing, made a thorough
success of his chosen pursuit of a
general merchant, and now carries fine
line of plain and fancy groceries, cloth
ing for men and boys, furnishing goods,
glassware, choice cigars, tobaccos, smok-
ers' articles, etc, and occupies one OF
the prominent stores on Main-st. Low
prices and quick sales, is "Uncle" Phil

The dry goods trade is ably represent
ed by Downen & Miller. Last fall they
erected new store and increased their
stock in order to meet the demands of
their business. E. w. Downen does a
general real estate business, also; makes
loans, is notary pnblic, and postmaster
of the town. He thus has his hands
full of business, but all is carefully and
conscientiously conducted. Mr. Miller,
who has direct charge of the dry goods
department, understands his business
thoroughly and is most genial and &C
commodating gentleman. 1t is pleas
ure to trade with either member of the
firm on this account. They have enc of
the best selected lines OF goods it was
ever our fortune to examine, and that
they have the confidence of the people
may be readily inferred from the fact
that, although young in this field,
their sales last year in the store alone
amounted to more than $4,000. This
year the prospects are that they will
double those figures.

INDICATING THE MASS MEET.
INC.

EDITOR BULLETIN: During the
past two years have verbally ex-
planned on various occasions how
the unfortunate occurrence came
about, that an orator was Kissed off
the platform at the memorable meet
ing of June 80, 1887. The contri-
butor to the BULLETIN of Dec. 9TH
forces me in 'justice" to make
few public remarks.
In the first place l do not believe
that there was packed meeting on
June 80, 1887, which vociferously
refused to listen to wise counsels.
Secondly, the wise counsels refer
red to by the BULLETIN were mis-
understood by nearly all the people
present, and believe that the sim
pie omission of the word lone" by
The orator should not be used by i'll
disposed persons to throw a slur on
the attendants of the mass meeting
of June 80, 1887.
] will explain: After the orator
had pointed out to the meeting the
advisability of cautiously drafting q
new constitution and to leave its ac-
ceptance to the next Legislature,
someone called out: "We have
been waiting for six years.
The orator said; "Then you can
wait another"
If the orator had used the phrase,
"Then you can wait another one,"
all within hearing would have under
stood il, and truly believe that the
Kissing was simply because it was
thought that another six years were
advocated to pass, in order to bring
about better government.
Blame should always be placed
where it belongs. If there had been
a singular and plural term in the
English language for the word
another" probably the above mis-
understanding would never have
occurred. GERMAN.

Sensational developments are fol-

swindle of Frederiksen & Co., land
agents. Thousands of Scandinavian
farmers in the Western States, who
suppose they have paid for their

the firm are worthless. Capitalists

they were "barbarians" and "not
