THAT BRIDGE FUND TAX.
In addition to the expose we made
in our last issue in regard to the
unlawful transfer of money from
the county bridge fund to the coun
ty general fund for the years 1895
and 1896, we find upon examining
the records further thata'still worse
state of affairs exist in regard to
the bridge fund for the years 1893
and 1894.
The following statement will
show the full extent of the exces
sive tax for the four years, 1893 to
1896 inclusive in that fund:
1893 bridge fund levy $8,300.00
1894 bridge fund levy... . 7,797.00
1895 bridge fund lew 9,539.00
1896 bridge fund levy 8,811,00
Total $34,447.00
There was expended out of the
levies of these four years for bridge
tund purposes by warrants drawn
on the respective levies as follows:
1893 $2,125.00
1894 1,761.12
1895 4,971.90
1896 4,035.10
Total $12,893.12
By deducting this amount ex
pended for bridge fund purposes
from the total amount of the levies
we get the following result:
Four years' levies .. . .$34,447.00
Four ears' expenditures. 12,893.12
Difference $21,553.88
This difference of $21,553.88
is the amount of illegal taxes in
this one fund levied against the
tax-payers of Lincoln county in
four years.
As we explained in our former
article on this subject, these ex
cessive levies were made from year
to year in direct violation of law for
the purpose of augmenting the gen
eral fund of the county beyond the
legal limit of nine mills. j -
Is it any wonder that our taxes
are constantly increasing and that
our floating indebtedness exceeds
forty thousand dollars?
THE ERA'S QUIBBLES.
The Era in its last issue, after
admitting the two items of indebt
edness of the county on the first
day of July, 1897, aggregated $41,
533.47, quibbles about the term
"floatingindebtedness'" and seeks to
show that because the commission
ers proceeded to levy a tax and
draw warrants to pay these claims,
that there was no floating indebt
edness. But that kind of a quibble will
not fool many people.
The term "floating" indebtedness
is used in contra distinction to the
funded indebtedness, and every
item ot liability must come under
one of these heads.
The term "funded-indebtedness"
applies to a bonded debt.
Floating indebtedness includes
all other liabilities.
When the commissioners made
their levy for 1897 and proceeded to
issue warrants for $19,669.15 in
payment of claims, that did not
reduce the floating debt one cent,
but simply changed the debt trom
a non-interest bearing to an inter
est bearing debt and until those
warrants are redeemed at the coun
ty treasury, they continue to form
a part of the floating indebtedness
of the county.
THE FLOATING INDEBTEDNESS
The Tribune's Charge that the Moating In
debtedness of the County has Increased
. under Populist Rule is fully Sus
tained by the County Records.
FACTS AND FIGURES WHICH PROVE IT.
The. Era and the populist ring has frantically denied the
charge made by The Tribune that notwithstanding the
enormous increase of taxes for county purposes during the
past four years, that the floating indebtedness of the county
has been increasing at an appalling rate. To their demand
for proof of this charge we submit the following from the of
ficial records of the county.
For this purpose we propose to take the records for July
ist, 1893, and July ist, 1897, and show the floating indebted
ness at those periods respectively, and we will use the same
method in arriving at results in each case; that is, to include
as floating indebtedness in each case the amount of register
ed warrants standing on the warrant register unpaid and not
called in, to which we add the warrants drawn on the several
funds during the month of July after the current levy had
been made; presuming that such 'warrants had been drawn
in payment of claims on file or actually accrued against the
county on the first day of July. This is the only method by
which it is possible to arrive at the floating indebtedness.
With this explanation we submit the following figures:
FLOATING INDEBTEDNESS JULY 1, 1893.
Unpaid warrants of 1892 and previous years -. $ 7,562.00
Gen'l fund warrants drawn on ley 1893 to pay claims 12 ,273.30
Road fund warrants drawn on 1893 levy to pay claims 2,233.98
Bridge fd warrants drawn on 1 893 levy to pay claims 162.10
Total,
FLOATING INDEBTEDNESS JULY ist, 1897.
Unpaid registered warrants 1896 and previous years .22,033.47
Gen'l fund warrants drawn on levy 1897 to pay claims 19,669. 15
Road fd warrants drawn on 1897 levT to pay claims 1, 083. 75
Total for 1897 -Deduct
1893 Total
INCREASE - - $20,554.99
Thus in four years the floating indebtedness of Lincoln
county-sunder populist administration has increased
$
20,554.99.
The total debt almost doubled and the interest bearino
debt (unpaid registered warrants) trebled m four years.
By the way, if there was, as the
Era admits, on July 1st, 1897, un
paid registered warrants to the
amount of 22.033.47 and the com
missioners drew new warrants in
payment of $19,500.00 of claims,
then - the interest bearing floatinjr
indebtedness in July 1897 would ag
gregate $41553.47.
The populist ring complains of
the iact that we have compared the
si tiAnfn 1001 4- IOOT T I
jr WB xOOJ lu xoo, wuen rue re-
publicans were in control with the
four years 1893 to 1897 when the
populists were in control instead of
some other period. The period
1883 to 1887 was taken because it is
the period that the populist ring
and its organ refers to as proof of
republican extravagance. They
should not complain when we give
the facts as to the two periods
that they have been harping
so much about during the past
year. But we care not what period
the comparison is made with.
There has been no period in the
history of the county when taxes
have been so high and increasing
yearly and when the people had so
little to show for it, as has been the
case during the years 1893 to 1897,
when the populist board has been
in absolute control. And there is
not a person in the county who has
paid taxes during the past five
years but has the proof of this fact
in their tax receipts.
In extenuation ot the fact that
there has been such an appalling
increase of county taxes during the
time the populist ring has been in
control, the ring points with pride
to the fact that they have been in
strumental in sending twenty-five
people to the insane asylum and
eleven persons to the penitentiary
during the years 1893 to 1897; four
times as many as were sent in a
like period of republican control.
No wonder people have gone insane
and committed crimes under the
influence of populistic doctrines
and the effects of a constantly in
crease of taxes while their proper
ty was constantly decreasing in
value; to say nothing of Buchanan
and Keliher pnrsuing them with
distress warrants for the taxes they
were unable to pay.

must think that the drouth stricken
farmers of Lincoln county have short

cost and penalties.
mf '
ut course it was their duty to
collect the taxes, but it was never
in the law that the county should
take the means of livelihood from
its citizens and make them a bur
den on the county poor fund.
There never was a more inoppor
tune time to issue distress war
rants. For four seasons the crops
had been wholly or partly failures
so that with some of our people it
was a struggle to find food lor their
families.
But Buchanan and Keliher were
living off of the fat of the land.
They were after the costs and pen
alties. What cared they for the
sufferings of their poor dupes who,
relying on their protestations of
love for the common people, had ele
vated them to their place and
power.
The Tribune told Mr. Cheyney
that when the proper time came it
would furnish proof that the float
ing indebtedness of the county had
increased under populist adminis
tration. That time has come, and
in another column Mr. Cheyney and
the public generally will find proof
of the charge. This increase of
floating indebtedness together with
the increased taxes show how ut
terly incompetent the populists are
to administers the affairs of the
county in an economical manner.
Every republican. should make it
a point to go to the polls next Tues
day and cast his vote for the
straight ticket. We do not appre
hend, however, that there will be
any stay-at-home republicens this
year.
The republican ticket is deserv
ing of and should receive the sup
port of every republican in. the
county. No republican can afford
to slash his ticketthis year,
If you desire to have your taxes
increased vote the populist ticket;
if you want them decreased, vote
the republican ticket.
Stand by the ticket, republicans,
and the victory is yours. Knock
i
out the populist ring which has in
creased the operating expenses of
the county 'and increased the taxes
of every property hclder in Lin
coln county.
Every candidate on the populist
ticket is rustling to save his own
"bacon" each individual is plead
ing for himself and none are work
ing for the whole ticket. With
them the political situation is get-
ting desperate.

A SOAP BUBBLE.
Tho Relation of Its Varying Thinness to
tne Colors It Shows.
The extremo thinness of the bubble is
indeed wonderf nl. It is estimated that
the film in some places is only one
three-inilliouths of an inch in thickness.
Probably few of us can conceive of such
thinness. Let me express it in another
way. The Old and the New Testament
contain soma 3,000,000 of letters. Now
one three-millionth is such a part of an
inch as the first letter of the Bible is a
part of the sum of all of its letters.
The bubble, however, is not of equal
thickness at all points, and it is for this
reason that it has the various colors.
ior instance, wherever the film is
orange red it measures about three-mil
licnths of an inch; where it is blue,
eighty cne-milliouths of an inch, and
at a point where lemon yellow is prom
inent about twenty one-milliouths of an
inch. Perhaps you wonder why the col
ors change from one part of the soap
bubble to another. This is because the
film of the soap bubble evaporates and
grows thinner, but unequally so at dif-
