Co. should be indicted for murder. It may be that they are not sincore, that they rather favor transferring to the Carnegies the entire blame for the legitimate fruit of republican class legislation. Tho Rupublioan of yeHterdny lamenteth over “how enormously the assessments of the lands of Jasper Co. were increased by the operation of (he new tax law." The people arc not so much concerned in regard to the increased assessment as they are on account of the failure of the county board to pioportionally decrease the levy.
