Next time when the readers of the
Review will hear from us again the
troublesome question which to-day is
being so bitterly discussed. even Great
ing sectional feeling, and to the de-
gree Of causing enmity land even pro-
fanity) the question of bonding the
county for completing the new court
house will be decided by the majority
OF voters in Brown County. The ques-
ton has been discussed pro and con SO
much, that it is becoming more trite
and monotonous than u tariff reform
argument. Those for and against the
bonds have presented their sides of the
question logically and mathematcally.

tive of location or personal gain, some
that the county is too poor and that the
present buildings are good enough and

the court house from year to year on

1t is as impossible for Sleepy to get the
county seat as it is for monopolist to
get to heaven. New Ulm is entitled to
the county seat by right Of birth and is
the most favorable location. that is the
incest location for the seat. The build
ings have been started and at an ex-
pense of abont $4,000 to the. county
and it will be completed for the County
Commissioners have already said SO, at
least they have been empowered. No
doubt it would be better for this part
of the county which is comparatively
in its primitive state. if building the
new court house would have been de-.
ferred for few more years, but there
is no use to "cry over spilled milk.
The court house will now be built and
the best way that taxpayers can meet
the Indebtedness is to bond the county.
We will suppose that the q. S. govern
ment would not have taken the advant-
age, that is involved in issuing bonds,
would have forced its people to pay the
enormous debt of billions of dollars, as
it was after the war. within a few years
of time. The people would have revolt
ed Let some mathematician estimate
the whole amount of interest and add
it to the principals; what an enormous
sum it would make. And still the peo-
pie will pay it almost imperceptibly.
Such is the case, here at issue. If the
county will grow in wealth and popula-
ton as it has within the last decade, we
can pay the cost of new court house in
that time almost without a burden. and
by that time the railroad lands will be
taxable. In fifteen years orr people
can pay five dollars to where they can
t5pay fifty cents at present. Let the peo-
pie think Of this matter and under all
circumstances vote for the bonds.
