benevolent and liberal people out
side of Ireland are freely giving of
their means to aid the distressed
complained of, we have not noticed
one contribution from Ireland's,
wealthy citizens for that purpose.
Why is this?
The CoIumbnM Water Power.
Ed. Journal: The suggestions of
your correspondent as a meaiH of
utilizing the water of the Loupe to
use stationary boats or floating fac-
jtoricd with current wheels for the
motive power may do very well for
some kinds of business ou a small
scale ; but the manufacture of textile
fabrics, audi presume also of flour,
requires great steadiness of machin
ery, which can only be attained by
a permanent foundation. Now ev
ery one at all acquainted with the
character of our western rivers
knows the difficulty of building a
secure dam on a quicksand founda
tion, and if the object sought "for
can bo attained as well without so
large an outlay as will be required
to dam the Loupe and yet bo per
manent, it will bo so much the easier
to get capitalists to take hold of the
work and carry it to a successful
termination., Now, I do not profess
to be an expert in such matters, but
merely throw out a few suggestions
as my contribution to the common
stock. If there is a sufficiency of
fall (and report says 18 ft. in two
miles), why dam the Loupo at all,
but placo a jetty or whig dam in
such a position and form, as will
guide as much of the water as may
be needed into a race, which shall
carry tho water whero it may be
Used? This would oiler but little
obstruction to the stream in case of
high water, and would therefore be
less likely to bo damaged. Nor
would I have an open race, for this
might have to be planked to keep
tho water from wasting through a
sandy bottom, and the sides from
caving in, .besides the risk in severe
weather of having so long a race
frozen in such a way as to prevent
its being used. I would therefore
substitute for such a race a cast iron
pipe or pipes, of large dimensions,
such as are used in some of our city
water mains, say not less than 30
inches in diameter. These, if prop
erly laid, will always keep them
selves clean; are out of reach of
frost; form no obstruction in the
ground through which they pass,
and will enable the company to
place their factories in close prox
imity to the city where they should
be on account of habitations for the
operatives, facilities for transporta
tion, etc. The scope of the field for
manufacturing as portrayed by your
lady correspondent is so great that
the capitalists of Columbus, unless
wilfully blind to their own interests,
can not well go astray in making a
selection. g. s. t.

The Valparaiso Avalanche is now
repeating what it said in 18G5, viz :
"The destiny of the country is in his
(Grant's) hands. He may, like
Cassar or Napoleon, subvert its in
stitutions, or he may inscribe his
name along side of Washington's, as
one, whose patriotism the alluring
temptation of power could not se
duce." There are too many sensi
ble, able, patriotic men in the United
States, for any man to "subvert its
institutions," and it is surprising to
us that men who indicate a degree
of penetration do not sec a little
further into the signs of the times,
and read to fuller knowledge the
hoart'and mind of the American
people. Grant could no!, if he
would, nor would not, if he could,
subvert the institutions of his coun
try. Nebraska is rcceeiving recogni
tion at the hands of the eastern
press, and wall it may. The editor
of the American Agriculturist visit
ed us some time ago, and made very
favorable mention of onr present
situation and future prospects. The
Chicago Tribune of a late day makes
summary work of us in the follow
ing paragraph :
"In 1855 Nebraska had a popula
tion of 4,500; now she has a popula
tion of 450,000. In 1855 it was put
dowu in the geographies as 'The
Great American Desert,' and in 1878
it turned up as one of the great
wheat producing Stales of the Un
ion. It has 1,300 miles of railroad
in operation, and has 000,000 more
square miles of territory than all
New England."
Mayor Chask and his accomplish
ed lady, and her sisters, Misses
Butterfields, received the most vis
itors .New Year's day of aay other
residence we have noticed in the
west. We derive our information
from the Omaha Republican. Be
sides the usual number of citizens,
the police force headed by their
chief, the police judge, company G.
in full uniform and the entire fire
department, at stated periods, filed
into line to greet the host, hostess
and their friends. They were heart
ily received and splendidly treated.
The Sidney Telegraph advises
Secretary Schurz "to whang his pi
ano keys to slow music. There is
a country west of the Mississippi
river, and don't you forget it."
There will bo a few other public

not forget that they must remem
ber" that there is a country west
of the Mississippi.

Settlement ifrifi Treasurer.
Ed. Journal: With your per
mission 1 desire to lay before your
readers a few Sections of the new
Revenue laws that refer to the set
tlement now going on with our Co.
Treasurer, for the croakers and
howlers are again getting-excited,
and have fearfully abused the Com
missioners and their assistant in ref
erence to the settlement. Abuse by
men that should know better, one
who was nominated aud run for Co.
Commissioner in former days, but
failed to be elected, and is a bonds
man. Sec. 147, General laws, 1879 pays:
"Whenever it shall appear from the
returns of the Treasurer that any
person charged with taxes on per
sonalty, has removed out of the
county, or has deceased and left no
property out of which the taxes can
be made, or if from any other cause
it bo impossible to collect such (axe?,
it shall bo the duty of the county
commissioners to cause the same,
after the expiration of two years, in
which timo the treasurer shall use
due dilligencc to collect the same, to
be stricken from the tax list, aud the
Co. Clerk shall certify the amonnt
so stricken on", to the auditor, who
shall credit the county therewith in
adjustments of the accounts of the
County Treasurer."
Sec. 155, snys : "On or before the
first day of October, annually, and at
such other times as the county board
may direct, the County Treasurer
shall make out and file with the Co.
Clerk a statement in writing, setting
forth in detail the namo of each per
son charged with personal property
tax, which he has been unable to
collect, by reason of the removal or
insolvency of the person charged
with such tax, the value of tho prop
erty and the amount of tax, the cause
of inability to collect such tax, in
each separate case, in a column pro
vided in the list for that purpose,
&c.
Sec. 15G, says : "If any lands or
lots shall be delinquent for taxes or
special assessments, tho treasurer
shall be entitled to a credit in his
final settlement for tho amount of
the several taxes and special assess
ments thereon. Provided, that the
County Treasurer shall not be en
titled to credit for delinquent per
sonal property tax, until he has filed
with the County Clerk an affidavit
thereon by reason of a want of per
sonal property of the owner thereof,
and that to the best of his knowledge
and belief no personal property of
any such owner is in the county,&c."
After the foregoing laws are com
plied with, Sec. 158, says: "The
County Clerk shall immediately, in
either case, certify to the auditor of
public accounts the valuation of
property, and tho amount of slate
taxes due thereon, for which the
Treasurer may be allowed credit."
Sec. 101, says: "The Co. Board
shall examine such settlement when
made with the County Clerk, and if
found correct shall enter an order to
that eil'uct, but if an omission or
error is found, said Board shall cause
the same to ba corrected. Sec. 1G0
gives the proper authorities or per
sons the power to appoint some
competent person to examine into
the Treasurer's accounts and books,
who shall have access lo all books
and records appertaining to Treas
urer's office, &c, &c."
Sec. 107, says: "Any Treasurer
failing to pay into the State Treas
ury the amount due the State, on his
account for Slate and other taxes, at
the time or times required by this
act, shall pay interest at the rate of
10 per cent, per anuum, from the
timo the same became due under
this act, uutil the same is paid ; in
no case shall the Auditor be permit
ted to remit such interest, unless
satisfactory evidence from the Co.
Board is presented to him, showing
by official action taken by such
Board, lawful cause why the collec
tor could not pay over, in part or in
whole, the amount due the State."
Sec. 94, says : "If any Co. Treas
urer shall neglect to or refuse to
render any account or settlement
required by law, or shall fail or
neglect to account for any balance
due the State, county, township,
school district, or any other muni
cipal sub-division ; or is guilty of any
other misconduct in office, tho coun
ty board may forthwith remove him
from office, and appoint some suita
ble person to perform his duties."
The law further says that upon
the failure of any Co. Treasurer to
make settlement with the Audilor;
the Auditor shall sue the Treasurer
aud the bondsmen of such Treas
urer, and all such proceedings ou the
bonds or otherwise as may be neces
sary to protect the State.
Now, air, in order to comply with
the laws, tho Commissioners must
examine all the Treasurer's records
back to the division of the county
from Colfax in 1870, as there has
never been a report of the delin
quent personal tax from the forma
tion of the county to the present
time. The new Treasurer cannot
and will not receive the books, and
charged therewith, till the proper
adjustment is made and proper
credits given. J.. Wise.

A gentleman residing in Hooker
precinct, Dixon county, dug a well
four years ago to the depth of 100
feet. When first dug the water was
warm, and it has since been grow
ing hotter and now boils. Whether
this curious phenomenon has any
thing to do with the Ionia volcano
is a question worthy of investiga
tion. At the commencement of last year
Madison county was advertised as
an inland county, situated thirty-five
miles from a railroad, but to-day we
can advertise it as a well railroaded
county, and in fact as one having as
good railroad facilities and prospects
as almost any in the state. Taking
this into consideration with the
natural advauiages aud standing of
our county, we claim that 1SS0 will
nearly see the population of Madi
son county doubled.
