The county revenue fund to be raised
in Stearns county is simply outrageously
large and yet it is question whether
the expenditures will be kept within the
levy. When it is considered that Stearns
county is wholly free from debt and conse-
quently has neither principal nor interest
to pay and that the several townships
care for the poor thereby relieving the
county at large from any expenditures
for that purpose, the amount of tax
raised and money expended is startling.
1t is very doubtful whether there is an
other county in the state of approximate
ly equal population and assessed valua-
ton which approaches it. Scan the
items WE'LL Comfy officers absorb under
this estimate nearly $4,000, including
the coroner, and in addition to this the
court house and Jail expenses, exclusive
OF court expenses, amount to $1,000, to
which may be added $4,000 for two
terms of court and for fear these items
may not "go round" $4,000 are chuck
ed in as miscellaneous. The printing
bills and stationary are provided for at
3,OOO-pretty fat when it is considered
that notwithstanding the law, the print
ing is let as private snap instead of be-
ing put up for competitive bids.
The road and bridge fund is marked at
the modest sum of s,OOO-about what
it has been for several years, and enough,
in connection with town expenditures, to
gridiron the county with the finest roads
in the land with superabundance of
steel bridges.
Let an expert mathematician compute
the amount of money collected from
western Stearns and compare it with the
amounts appropriated and expended
there. The tact is that we pay more
than our just proportion as compared
with St. Cloud and vicinity and yet sew
enty-fve cents on every dollar is disburs-
ed within the corporate limits of St.
Cloud and remains there. Not content
with this it is now proposed to erect a
new set of county buildings-the old ones
being adequate for all demands for the
next decade. And yet the taxpayers are
not happy although interested.

comments OF the .JOurnaEPress on the

made on what isconsidered good author

fered by the HERALD will he required to
disprove it. Moreover. it was not said
that the Paynesville club was not we'll
treated by the citizens OF Sank Centre;
for we understand that they were we'll

is in that city, and also that the umpire
was fair. All that was said was, that

Perhaps the HERALD failed to penetrate
the obtuse perception of the base ball ed
itor of the Journal Press in its two-thirds
bawl article two weeks ago. If so it
will try again. The impression intended
to be conveyed was this: The Journal
Press compressed ten separate and dis
tinct slanderous lies into about twenty
lines of type, and the HERALD merely
pointed them out and entered specific
DENIAL and demanded retraction. Now
the JournAkPress reiterates them all, ad.
ding one or two little ones. For "reliable

it said. Ten sble-bodied lies in so small
