STILL AT WORK.
SLY sCHEMING THAT Is STILL AFoOT FOR
CIRCUMvENING THE TOWNSHIPS.

The people should thorou ghly un-
derstand that the abuse of which the
present contest is the basis is not eX-
clusively confined to past records.
Despite all the protest that is being
made the very men who had perpe-
trated these other trickeries are still
busy carrying out their plans for a
more thorough subsection of the rural
districts to city heelers. Strange as it
may seem, the facts defy contradiction.
The charter amendments are directly
concerned in this matter and certainly
have this single end in view.
This is serious matter. If il is true
that our enemies are down at Lansing
scheming against us, we would seem
to be unworthy of our rights to sit in u
stupid negligence of them.
The proceedings, so far, in regard to
the amendments to the Port Huron
charter have been kept very quiet.
As near as we can learn it will add
three more wards to the city and con-
sequently give it three more super
visors. 1t has an amendment placing
the assessment in the hand of three
assessors. For all we can learn, this
may give them three more supervisors
still. BY reason of the secrecy that Is
maintained this is our best informa-
ton. But from the sly tricks which
were worked to secure the last accession
of mayor city clerk and city attorney on
the board it is fair to surmise the
worst.
Port Huron's delegation amounts
to ten. On an assessment of S3,3lO,-
$50, it is one for S33l ,0S5. The town
ships pay taxes on 50, ,5l5, making
the basis for the twenty-three town
ships, one for every 1899, ,5S7. This
gives the city a plain advantage of
SGS ,5O2, as it is at present. Still they
would increase their majority by more.
Now, the city wants the county to
pay for a 100000 court house for its
advantage. 1t also wishes the ex-
pCnscs of the county increased by
making il a separate judicial district.
Ii matters not that the judge is paid
out OF the state treasury; there are
other expenses even greater. The
city seems very willing to undertake
these eXtravagances since il is not
compelled to pay for them save in so
small a degree. Hugh Higgins +. +.
WOlcOt, and {. a. Bailey have been
in Lansing. recently lobbying for these
very matters. Port Huron j. already
stealing the milk while we are quar-
reling over the cow. Something should
be done, and that at once.
1 his is what is going ON st present
and nothing is being done 10 oppose it or
maintain our rights. here is dam
ger threatening c towns lips which
Is greater than they i'm lgine. There is
no good meant IN all this. 1t should be
investigated and, if necessary, fought.

Claring Injustice; Claring
FaVOritiSm.

There is evidence in the history of
equalization in this County, beginning
with the year 1880 and continuing until
the present time, of combination of
members of the Board of Supervisors
for the express purpose of placing the
burdens of State and County tax upon
the back Towns and Villages. The
circumstances and facts in the line of
proof are many, but a few will suffice
to warrant the above conclusion. The
first distinctive circumstance running
through Il period of Ten years, begin
ming in the year 1880, and continuing
until 1890; is the steady raise of equal
ization of the Towns, while the City
of Port Huron with its rapid growth
during that period of time, has nearly
remained as in 1880, no conditions or
raise except nominal in its equalization
having been made.
An examination of the equalization
Of the Real Estate of the Second, and
Third wards in Port Huron for 1880,
shows; Second ward real estate equal
lied at 1897 ,575. Third ward real es-
tate equalized at S475,S25. And u
further examination in 1890 at the
Love feast of the combine, October
23rd, 1890, these two wards (the second
ward being the richest in the City,
were equalized as follows; Second
ward at 1867 800. Third ward at $43l :
925.
Comparing the equalization of these
in 1880 and 1890, furnishes conclusive
proof of the handy-craft of the COM
bine. The second ward shows an
equalization by members of the Love
feast in 1890 of $50, ,025 less than il
was equalized in 1880. The third ward
shows an equalization of S44, 900 less
than in 1880. While the back Towns
shows an actual aggregate increase by
equalization over and above their
assessment for the year 1890 alone of
81 ,O03,000. Now what does all this
mean? and who are the actors i'm this
great moral crime2 The particular
members of the Board who formulated
and have perpetuated this state of
things cannot be individually selected
but 1t is evident the ring holds its
secret well in hand. But notwith-

how APUZZLE WAS SOLVED.

When you want a certain article, you want
the best make Of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
il what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't youp
And you would like to hear of one puz-
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't youP
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition OF 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world, including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by q
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. 8 and No. 10 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and the No. 12,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. 8 Wheeler e. Wilson machine and if he
does not keep them, write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

What Ais the Farmer,

A Kansas farmer, where the times
are as hard as they are anywhere in the
United States, writes as follows to his
local paper at Garnett-The local allu-
sions will of course be understood as
the popular stores of the town: What
is the matter with the times anyway ?
A farmer loads up fifty bushels Of
wheat on wagon and starts to Gar
nett. his son follows with load of
corn, while the hired man follows with
a load Of hay. He gets from ninety
cents to dollar for his wheat, sixty
cents for his corn and ten dollars for
his hay. He takes the checks he gets
for his grain and hay to the bank and
asks for and gets gold coin. Heslings it
down in his jeans, goes down to George
and Joe's and buys eighteen pounds of
granulated sugar for dollar. He buys
muslin for five cents a yard, calico the
same. He goes to the hardware store
and buys barbed wire for 3 and 81
cents per pound, and other things in
proportion including tin cups. He goes
to Wagstatf's and buys suit of clothes,
all wool, tor $40, good enough for a
president of township alliance to
wear. There never has been time
from the foundation of the goY-
ernment to the present, when d bushel
of wheat orj corn would buy as much
rs it will to-day, and yet some people
will get up at night and burn their
shirt to make light to see to d--n
the republican party.

FOUR TIMES IN A DAY

Was the Allegheny Fire Department Called
Out-Three Fires and One That Didn't
Pan Out-Hard Luck of Poor Working
Girl.
The Allegheny Fire Department was
called out on four alarms yesterday, be-
tween A. NJ. and 10 O'Clock at night
At o'clock in the morning john
Huckenstein's work house on Nunnery Hill
caught fire and blazed away to the extent Of
$500 worth of damage before being brought
under. A hired girl in the house at the
time escaped in demi-toilette, but was not SC
much concerned at losing her sleep as al
parting with cool $100, the saving oi
many years, which she had hidden in hel
room. In the usual commotion incidental
to a fire, dog which was chained in the
house was overlooked, and roasted to death.
His howls are described as being fearful to
listen to, and the whole neighborhood was
aroused by the noise.
The next alarm sent in was owing 70 pile
Of paper on the third floor of II Federal
street, catching fire. 1t was soon extinguish-
ed without appreciable loss.
An hour later the department again
turned out, but this time on false alarm.
A team belonging to Eberhart & Ober ran
away and came in contact with box Q. The
door falling open dropped on the hook and
sent in the alarm.
The third and last alarm was sent in at $50
o'clock. The fire broke out at 38 Kilbuck
street, occupied by the Pittsburg and West
ern road as a repair shop. The house is a
two-story wooden building, the top floor Of
which is used an upholstering department
and the lower as trimming shop. The
damage was about 5000.
