We had always supposed that a
supervisor was solely responsible for
the assessment of property in his
own town. We were informed last
week, however, that Supervisor
Mutchler of Bangor is responsible
for the assessment of Lawrence pro-
perty. If the statement were made
with authority, (which, by the way,
cannot possibly beg it would come
pretty near to making a 6gurehead
of Supervisor Branch of Lawrence.
Such an effort to shift the response
bility for an assessment upon the
supervisor of neighboring town is
ridiculous in the extreme. We have
long known Lawrence township to
be over-equalized and have sympa-
thized with her taxpayers because of
it, but we do not believe the property
of the township is over-assessed, and
If it is, no one but Supervisor Branch
is responsible for it; and, as he was
member of the committee on equal
ization and signed the report of that
committee, he is as much responsible
as any other man for the injustice OF
the equalization made. The attempt
to remove responsibility from Mr..
Branch's shoulders reminds us of an
ostrich which, having its head out of
sight so that it cannot see its enemy,
thinksi its whole body is safely hidden.

No Inconsistency.

Some individuals and newspapers,
who have seemingly desired to con-
vince the public that all financial
wisdom is confined to themselves
and who have attributed unworthy
motives or shameful ignorance to all
who have not exactly agreed with
them, have tried their level best to
make out that the NoRTHERNER and
other good republicans are gold
bugs" those fearful insects whom it
is alleged have been more destruct-
i've than the Kansas grasshoppers.
The NoRTHERNER has persistently
denied the accusation, but none the
less we were expecting the charges
of inconsistency that have been freely
made since the passage of the re-
monetization resolution by the re-
publican club last week and the en-
dorsement of that resolution by the
u
NORTHERNER. But our utterances
on the financial question have not
been inconsistent, and we are pre-
pared to show to the satisfaction of our
readers that the club resolution, in
stead of causing the conversion" of
the NoRTHERNER, was rather h e
natural and legitimate outcome of the
articles published from time to time
in this paper since the active agita-
ton of the silver question commenced
about year ago.
The first utterance of this paper
on the financial question, after it
came under its present editorial man
agement, was February s, 1895, when
it said
GA safe, conservative use of silver
in connection with gold will be ust
to all and will work harm to none.
The United States wants
a bimetallic currency; that is, if this
is popular government where ma
iority rules, there can be no question
as to this fact. The amount of gold
is insufficient for a currency basis"
March 8, 1895, the NoRTHERNER
said:
'There is growing sentiment in
this locality in favor of silver coinage
among men of all political parties,
but there are many who will not
consent to ride silver horse into
the democratic party. +
A healthy silver sentiment is devel-
oping within the republican party,
and that party can be safely relied
upon to make satisfactory solution
of the currency question, and to land
us safely upon genuine bimetallic
standard"
March %, 1895, the NoRTHERNER
said:
Doubtless, a greater use of the
white metal is desirable and would
be for the welfare and prosperity of
the people. Free coinage under
proper safeguards, is the desirable,
ultimate end to be reached"
March 30, 1895, the NoRTHERNER
said:
We have recognized healthy and
and growing public sentiment favor
ing a return to the use of the white
metal as a part of the basis of our
currency system"
The last quotation above was part
of an article commencing the action
of the republican township caucus in
adopting the following resolutions:
