The United States government is
sometimes served for years by valuable
servants who arc not even boarded at
the expense of tbo government. These
servants are cats. Bats are one of the
persistent dangers that threaten the
United States mail. Tbey destroy the
bags and the mail matter. The postofiice
baUding is .New York city is a large
building and now many years old. It is
said that there are 60 cats in the builg:
fug cared, for by the clerks. Some of tb
cats have never lived anywhere elsei
pthexs have come in from the neighbor

will come only to the clerks in the

raenfc is served without pay by these
faithful servants who prevent the de
struction by ratff of valuable property,
and all that is given them is shelter.

It is hinted that George Schar
mann was nominated for council
man in the Second ward just to
show how little water he draws.
This is a- novel but rather cruel
way of taking the conceit out of
man.
Being the regular nominee of the
republican primary in the Third
ward, Twem Isenhart is entitled to
every republican vote in the ward,
and we believe that he will not only
receive such, but the votes of others
as well.
The issue which tne saloon men
have raised in this, campaign
bodes no srood to them. Three-
fourths of the people of North

no place in politics, and the activity

the waterworKs case is not an
issue in the citv campaign, though
the populists have attemDted to
inaKe it-one. rne republicans are
in favor of paying the waterworks
company the money lustly due it
and no more. The district court
has said that the amount is some-
rninff over 511, uuu. ana it tne su
preme court affirms that decision
the money must be paid; if the de
cision is reversed and the stand
taken by the city attornev held
a

obliged to pay the amount The
case is being- tried in the courts
and not by the voters of North
Platte. It has been taken to the
supreme court and there it will re
main until the judges have lime to
consider its merits and render "a
decision. As the citv is oavinsr in-

The Era has prated so much

simple statement of such a rank

There are some things patent
First Our assessment is higher
man it used to be.
Second. The full levy that the
Jaw allows is made.
Third- Our taxes have been
creased.
To offset this the Era claims
that the city has paid debts.
Does this would-be headlight
suppose the people dont know that
the taxes are aseessed ayear before
tney are collected, and that all any
city government can do with the
money is to pay debts. Will the
Era say that the running- expense
of the city for the past vear has
been paid? .Not a dollar of it. But
