The above mendacious statement was
originally published in the Coal Gaztltc, a
Remiblican oriran. Had it rested there I
should have paid no attention to it, as It Is
natural for Republican papers to abuse
known Democrats. Bui the article has been
republished in the Carbon Democrat Klotz's
newly purchnsed organ edited by a rene
gade named Baucb; and it is fair to presume
that the comments were inspiied by Rauch'a
master. To the matter then I reply: That
the first attempt he made to purchase a Co
lumbia County man was when at the Vilke9

of these facts, these animals may be consider

inultiply, and tho market is over stocked,
while nothinx is done to prevent the tniscuici

subject to a disease known as fear of water,
they are not affected in the same way by meat.
They aro not particular whether they have to
go into our cellar to steal a ham, or on our
back porch to get our roast on which wo had
expected to dine. The truth is that they
ought to be restrained,and we know of a plan
by which this can bo accomplished. Imposo a

We see that it is proposed to inaugurate

of course, a drain on the Treasury of from
15,000 to" $10,000, This unnecessary extrav

a deficit of about 12,000,000, and our educa
