1t is rumored that several of the
young Jeffersonians became converts
of the salvation army while at Madison
last Sunday
Some idea of what is being done at
the Jefferson County Poor Farm to
make it self supporting can be gained
by the following: During the month of
October, 10 hogs were butchered; in
November, 81 more were slaughtered
in April 20 were killed, making in seven
months total Of 81, with estimate live
weight of 20,450 pounds. These hogs
were all raised on the farm for the ben
eft Of inmates of the Asylum and Poor
House.-BG71ner.

Might Does not Make Right.

EditorRepub1jcaT1:-I appears that the
little steal from the city treasury f0s.-
the benefit of certain wards was per
petrated by the common council at itsz
meeting on the 10th inst, in accordance
with the custom of some Of its predeee5-
sors, with this difference, that this time
the Second ward is made one of tlae
beneficiaries to the extent of 500. Tbs,
whole amount involved is $500, and Is
divided equally between the Second,
Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh wards
Aside from the illegality of the pro-
ceeding, which THE REPUBLICAN has
pointed out more than once, there hS
rank injustice to the First and FoEGb6a
wards, and particularly the First, w hicE2
pays SO large q percentage Ofthe taIse.s
If these dependent wards want mora,
money why not increase their tax leyYI@
or what would be still better and mars
honorable and just, why not eolIeEG
their poll tax, as directed by law ana
as the First ward does? There Is
neither equity nor sense In the FIEEt
wards forced contributions in aid CfE
other wards which fail to help t6en1~-
selves and do their dnty. Because <hds
aldermen Of these five wards forng "a
pool or combination, and vote monew
into their respective ward funds fEo1G
the city treasury does not necessarily
make it right. They should first Of ak
make fair tax levy, then initiate t1se
First ward and collect a poll tax, after
which it will be time enough TO pass { thts
hat and ask to be helped in making their
ward improvements. The fact that the.
amount involved is not large does Egs3
cut any figure at all. The principle iE:
| wrong from first to last, and the coun~
Gil should make no appropriations oK-
expenditures contrary to law. This II
! the way it looks to A FIRST WARDEIz
