Pertinent Points.

Editor COURIER: In years past, be-
fore we were cursed with t~hepresence
of a lot OF POLITICAL adventures and
before we were urged I" support
their organs to have them misrep-
resent the town they live
in and the people who tolerate
their presence, a liar and a
thief were considered on par, and
if public opinion be not different
from what it used to be, the import
ell leaders Of the independent
ring would easily he designated to
their places in public estimation.
Some of these fellows who may
properly be classel with confidence
sharpers, have been trying a juggle
about the taxes and expenses Of the
county, with q view of creating o
distrust against, every republican in
general and against those who have
been prominent in republican circles
in particular, and to make people
believe that under their manipula-
ton the taxpayers are saved some
thing as compared with former
years. Those who have paid taxes
for the last twenty years or more
have an easy way Of tracking the
lies of these fellows without employ
ing either experts or "sleath-
hounds" by simply looking over
their tax receipts, from which we
find, where IS to S12 was the tax
on a quarter section as county and
territorial tax ten or fifteen years
ago, the taxes now amount to more
than s25 per year, where does the
saving come in? The Leader, by
persissently trying to 'nislead the
taxpay ers and voters,is working hard
to forfeit it's right to be ~tolersted, as
it is doing thema positive injury,
not alone by creating an unrest and
strife in an otherwise peaceable
community, but being the cause OF
additional and unnecessary expenses
as we'll. Such wholesale misrepre-
sensations can hardly escape the re-
sentiment that an outraged public
may display on short notice. The
Leader told us that it only cost 20
cts. per capita 70 entertain these
Iowa experts" these last six months.
Since when were taxes assessed at .
per capita rate? Hthnt is the way
we are 70 pny our county indebted
ness, Why not hand ont our . per
capita and stop your bowling?

charges against MIR. Ringsrud at

Queer binding for Books.

Extravagance in binding has frequently
furnished an opening for the display OF
fantastic tricks and fads. In a book
sellers catalogue was once an advertise
hent of Latin copy of Apuleius'
Golden ASS bound in the skin of an
ass. A book relating to Jeffrey Hudson,
the celebrated dwarf, was bound in a
piece of the silk. waistcoat of Charles |.
fox's historical works were bound in fox
SKIN, and Bacon's works were dressed
out IN hog skin. One offspring of the
French revolution was the grim humor
OF binding books in human skin France
was not alone in this practice. In vari-
Gus parts of England the skin of MUIR
aerers has been tanned and used TO bind
BOOKS The public library of Bury St.
Edmands has book containing the ac-
count OF the trial of a man for murder
pound IN his own skin. Eccentricities
OF binding in such as skins of cats, croco-
o,ie' mole, seal, wolf, tiger, bear, etc.,
abound. The use of cloth in binding is
