TWO TYPES CT LAWYERS.

Different Kind.

Of the state Of Pennsylvania. have

from the kind we have bee1 hearing
lately. It seems ODD to us to think o:
Z public servant regarding his pos.
as anything but plum tree. We have
here another proof that 4 man really
honorable can never become rich
Judge Thayer was an honorable

Be Just,

1t is being reported that some Of
the obstructionists to the court
house bond issue justify their
course upon the grounds that the
court house should be rebuilt by
the people of Potosi. A county
court house belongs to the people
of the county and not those of the
county seat alone, and we do not
believe that the people OF the coun-
ty, with perhaps few exceptions,
hold themselves the objects Of the
charity of the people of the county
seat. We will give few figures
here to show our obstructionist
friends that under equal taxation
Potosi will pay three to one PEI
capita as much Of the cost of the
new court house as the people out
side of tho town limits. The tota
taxable wealth of the county is ,
little in excess of three million dol
lars, of which little over $500, 00(
or about ten per cent, is assessed
TO the citizens Of Potosi. Tn,
population Of Potoc: is only abou'
four per cent Of the total popuIa
ton Of the COUNTY, giving HE lat
ter Is, 900 in!lah t"n's. Therefore
four per ceut of The inhabitants o
the county pay len per cent Of al
the taxes, while The remaining 81
per cent only pay nine per cen

of the total taxes. Any reasonable
minded man will concede that Po-
tosi's portion of the cost under a
tax levy is all the burden Of the
new court house it should be ex.
pected to bear.
When we say, be just in this
manner, there i another view 70
take of the situation. The people
of Potosi are not given to boasting
of their COCA deeds, but there is
rarely a case where heavy misfoi
tune befal,s some citizen of the
county but what his friends i'm
ncdiately rush 70 town asking fol
contributions for bis relief, and
always do they find our people
literally responsive. Much of Po'
tosi's money has gone out to the
people cf the county in this way
Now that Potosi asks the peol Ii
of the county to take up their irs
share of the burden of rebuilding
the court house there are some whe
respond by saying, ''Iet Potos

The Globe Democrat says that
faction of a positive nature is
needed at the present. session Of
the legislature if any progress in
road improvement is to be made in
the state lmrressing this fact
upon our solons is of course very
commendable in the Globe, but
why instead of charging upon con
gress for appropriations Of mil
lions for tomfool deep waterway
schemes, did not our city contem
porary ask for little help for the
poor mans roads. Congress has
appropriated more than a dollar
for every man, woman and child
in the United States for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors
with the Globe and other St. Louis
