many who are continually dissatisfied
with a fair and equable government,
succeeded by hook or crook in evading
their just share of taxation. This re-
ductien in the duplicate made necessary
an increase in the proportions of the
levy. To this the mugwumps point
with triumph and assure the tax payer
that his burdens have been increased.
But We find that this scoundrel, E. G.
Smith, has ruthlessly robbed them of
even this comfort. While the levy is a
trifie higher, the amount collected is
much less. Thus the burden upon the
tax payer has been decreased. During
Smiths management the figures are

This gives an average of $l5 5,523 81 for
the two years of the non. businesslike
Smith and his spendthrift Council. This
average is less by $8,057.05 per annum
than the average of the nine years
previous. Now, If Smith wasn't a
mighty mean man he never would have
left such record as that to confront
mugwumps, who have been waiting
these many months for the time when
they should rush forth, waving their
immaculate hands with horror, and
shouting, Extravaganza Extravaganza |

If you lived outside the corporate
limits prior to the recent extension OF
the municipal boundaries, could you, or
your wife or child 60 to the public
library and get such books as you might
desire for instruction or ediAcation ?
You know positively that you could not.
But, there were people OF wealth liv.
ing outside the corporate limits who
could and did get all the books they
wanted. Look at the personel Of the
management who ordered this inviditus
discrimination between the rich and the
poor, and see If you don't recognize the
features of some of our modern self con.
stituted reformers They had illegal
favors to bestow upon the rich, who roll
in luxury, but none for you. III
Now, that these rich men seek re.
venge upon those who brought them
within the city bounds and compelled
them to pay their just share for the sup
port of the library they have long en-
joyed, they turn at once to you, who
have been denied those privileges be-
cause of your property, and order you,
with august authority, to do their
political bidding. Will you obey? Do
you recognize them as your masters ?
You are not overburdened with the
goods of this world. You can't go to the
bank and get your six, five, four, or even
one figured checks obsequiously hon.
ored. But you are honest, and you are
proud of your manhood, as you have
right to be. Your only capital is your
labor, and when there's no call for that,
the outlook for you and your loved ones
is black and dreary indeed. You re.
member how the industries of the
country were suffering from paralysis
last summer and fall, and how our own
closed down entirely. There
was no building, no work of any kind in
sight. Crops were failure and food at
the highest prices. In this emergency
our city Council, most of them poor
men, appreciated your situation, and
hurried up the construction Of the works.
All this terrible winter there has been
some work for the willing workers of
Hillsboro, without which many of you,
honest and proud as you are, would
have been reduced to destitution. You
would have seen the angels of your
home, dearer to you than life, com.
PEELED to suffer the pangs of hunger and
bodily distress, or accept sustenance
from the precarious and humiliating
hand of charity.
But for the approaching needs of our
laboring people, the water works would
not have been pressed to completion at
that time. Their erection was bitterly
at every step by these self-styled
who cared infinitely more for
the few dollars On the tax duplicate
than they did for the home and the
hearth and the cupboard of the poor
workingman upon whom the grim
shadows of distress were falling.
Now, these reformers think you have
forgotten all that, and at their bidding
will turn and rend your benefactors-
those who came to you in your darkest
hours, with help in their hands. Are
they right in this estimate of your in.
gratitude and mental blindness OF
course not. 1t would be an insult to

edness and legitimate interest on the
same.
The first item places the interest at
$4,000, but makes no deduction for the
interest to be obtained by the invest
ment OF the sinking fund. Safe invest.
ments may be made in B. & A. associa-
tions, other bonds, or in good banks.
Suppose the interest received was only
half that paid out, which is very low
estimate, the 800, 900 shrinks to 5000.
The next item OF $4,000 for Water
Works Trustees, only shows how weak
their cause is. OF course there must be
Trustees, no matter what Council is
elected, or what any Council has done.
But, the Trustees are not salaried, and
the present candidates for the position,
any good lawyer will tell you, can not
be salaried, because the statutes forbid
an increase Of salary during the incum
bent's term of Office. 1t may be, the
Citizens Committee know the minds
of the men they are running for
Council, and have been assured that
they will provide salary for all Trus
tees after the terms of the first Board
expire. II they do not know this, then
the 900 is an unwarranted assump-
ton, and should be stricken out.
In the third item they attribute loss
of $22, 800, to "undue haste in the sale
of the bonds" This is decidedly re.
freshing, after causing a loss of from
$4,000 to $4,000 by obstructing and
defeating the sale of these bonds
when the times were good, they
cody ignore that very patent fact, and
charge the Council with loss for sell,
ing them when they could. To sustain
this ridiculous assumption, they offer
no proof at all that the bonds would
have sold at better price any time
since.
Their fourth item charges loss OF
81, 500 prsmium on the bonds. This evil
IDENTIFY refers to their former false state
ment that Mr.. Ferris had offered not
less than 81 800 premium on condition
of being allowed to handle the funds.
Mr.. Ferris himself told Mr. Horst em.
phatically that that statement was un-
true, and that he had never promised
70 offer dollar OF premium on the
bonds. Still, they reiterate what they
know is untrue. Are the reprssante.

THOSE AMAZING FIGURES.
A Candid aud Reasonable Consideration
Of the Great Bugab"o.
CORPORATION.

Among the numerous anonymous cir.
nate FROM the Citizens committee, there
are none which present any valid or ten
able grounds of opposition to the Repub.

be remembered that only one member
of the old city council, Mr. Smith, is up
for re election, and if they were all up,
and had all made mistakes in connection
with the water works management, still
the control is now to pass into the hands
of trustees, and the Republican candi
dates for trustees have not been assailed.
Neither can they be.
But, accepting the issue as they make
it, all their statements and insinuations
have been fairly and fully answered.
In one sense, it is a surprise that they
should have made such an uproar with
allegations which they have utterly
failed 10 sustain. In another sense, it
is not matter of astonishment. They

A regular meeting of the board of
aldermen was held last Thursday night.
Present: Mayor Ringeling; Aldermen
Spencer, Morse, Sherman and P1zer.
The minutes of the meetings held on
November Ist and I'd were read and

was incurred in sinking the water
pipes on Montgomery street, which
was made necessary through the grading
of that street. The board of aldermen

A MODERN STEAMSHIP
What Her Speed Will Be in
the Near Future.
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GUESS
Wonderful Z Improvement in steam
Navigation During the Past Forty
Years-DfnicuIt to Estimate the
Advancement for the Next
Ten or Twelve Years.

Twenty years ago it was thought by
many that the limit as to size, speed
and economy had been reached. At pres
ent it seems that the draft Of water at
the harbors and the cost are the limits
that will prevent further development
on present lines. With different ma
terial for construction, with liquid fuel,
and other improvements or inventions,
it is possible that 20 years from now
one may look back at the Lucania with
her 21. 6 knots as we look back on the
Germanio and Britannia Of 1874 with
their 16 knots.
The steam pressures on ocean steam
ers up to 1850 did not exceed 20 pounds.
With the earlier vessels, with only 5
to 10 pounds of steam, it was possible
to stop Is leak in a boiler "by pushing a
rag in the hole' AS late as 1896 a
prominent firm Of engine builders in
England stated that from 10 to 10
pounds was what they used for mer-
chant vessels By 1880 pressure had in
creased to from 60 to 80 pounds, and on
the introduction Of steel for boilers pres
sures went up to about 100 pounds by
1885, and now boilers are being built,
for large steamers, to carry 200 pounds.
Special types Of boilers for torpedo boats
and other uses carry much higher pres
sure.
The Ericsson machinery weighs only
Sc pounds per horsepower. This last is
for torpedo boats and high pressures
and can not yet be approached for large
vessels. On the trial trip the Minneapo.
lis developed 20,812 horsepower, and
the total weight of all the machinery,
with the water in the boilers, was 1, 961
tons, SO that the weight Of machinery
for each horsepower was about S10
pounds. Had the Minneapolis machinery
been Of the same relative weight as that
Of the Powhatan it would have weighed
over 8,40O tons Or 1, 900 tons more than
the Minneapolis herself weighed on her
trial trip. -Chautauquan.

The Mines Near DrumlnOnd Now in
Active Operation.
During the past few years consider
able has been said in these columns in
regard to the coal prospects of Granite
county. These deposits lay in the vicin-
ity of Drummond and Stone Station,
and during that time have been opened
up to greater or less degree. The
properties south of Drummond have
been developed to considerable extent
and Mr. Thompson now has them in
hand and is showing up fair quality of
coal. A gentleman from Philipsburg
went down to visit the property du ring
the week and he informs The MAIL that
there is an immense amount of coal in
sight already with only limited amount
OF development work done. The coal is
OF such quality as to lead those who
are familiar with that kind of mining to
believe that it will be excellent when
more development work is done. 1t is a
good, fair sample already, and at the
price it will be sold for will doubtless
supplant " wood in the various industries
as we'll as dwelling and business houses
of Granite county. Several of our
people have ordered carload in order
to make thorough trial of the efficacy
OF the new discovery and in short time
The MAIL will be enabled to give more
authoritative statement as to it's value
as compared in price and quality with
other coal.
If the coal turns out to be the excellent
article that many believe, and which
certainly seems to be the present indica-
tion, it will mark new era in the
property and development of Granite
county. It being SO near at hand and in
such a quantity the price will always be
reasonable and considerably lower than
