From The People

Mr. Kditok. - 1 lie Uoitkieks remarks on the "Bureted Boom,'1 will doubtless expelí the dlsappoinUnent and disgust of many cKizens. It is nut uniisiüil for booms to burst from pressurc nf frcsliets and oyerflows. lint our llttle boorulet íg let out in a dry time, by a tpiteful diL under tlie bank. by Ihe croakers, who like tlie craw-fith, If they cannot secure the. titilare tliey propliesy, n one wuy, try anothcr. Without discussin;; liere the question of the tax, - wliich may or may not be legal, just uva the aid to the M. C. K. ;R., and just as is asked for tlie '1'., A. A. A N. M. lty. We only wish to remarle that if the gentlemen who enjoined tlie pajment of tlie tax, wished to protect the city, why did they nel enjoin tlie tirst act of the OoancH, and the expense of an clcc tion, even ? Did they not by their tacit consent to tlie elcction, and by taking part in it and voting against the tax tlius concede the riiílitto submit it to a vote of the people? And if they had voted it down would not ihey have said, " thut tettles it?" And when tlioy allowed it to go to a vote shoulJ tbey not, to be consistent, have let tlie voti sjttl' d it? But doubtless these gentlemen so watokful of the wellfare of the city and tlie poor tax payer, will now prove their enterpriae br liberal personal subscriptions - which cannot be enjoined- to en¦our.ii! manubetarea and business, and give employnient to the laborer. We trust the city, through the business association or olherwise, will hear from these modest but public spirited benefiictors. M ike way lor tlie ni k boometll To the front, gentlemen ! We salute you !
