From a source which is thought to
he authentic, the population Of Bell
! aire is $685. This is only an increase
of rs over 1890, but the citizens may
well feel encouraged as having more
than held their own, as many indus
tries during the last ten years left this
city and went ito the gas belt of Indi-
ana, taking hundreds of citizens with
! them. Bellaire has done nobly and at
present is gaining rapidly.
The editor of the Herald Tribune
seems to have taken offense at the Reg
isters mention of an independent ticket
which, would in all probability be fac
tor in the coming campaign of the fall
OF 1901 Now it would be we'll for this
editor to read this over carefully as
the Register is not trying to break up
any party, but will print the news that
is reliable. AS regards the ticket
spoken of it is a matter of news that
| every taxpayer should know, whether
| he be Republican or Democrat There
is time when people rebel, and at
present the citizens of this city ask why
are we advanced lac on the dollar? We
have no city building that is new to tax
us on, why then this increase? The
| taxpayers of this city have right to
demand where this money is expended
and it is the duty of every citizen to
! look this matter up Taxation in this
county is becoming enormous, but is
| still left to the taxpayer to object and
ask for an explanation. There is a
/ party in power and to them the people
say explain. The Register asks one
privilege, and that is to tell the people
what they may expect when they come
to pay their taxes, and It's imprint on
their memory will be left for many
days to.come. Who is there in this
city who wants any more extravaganza
at the county seat without an tented
bill? The people are aroused and to
them is left their well known duty.
