From the Saturday Eueniag Post.
Cancer, Scrofula and Goitre.

Ample experience has proved that no combina-
ton of medicine has ever been so efficaeous in
removing the above diseases, as DR.. Jayne's AL
terative. 1t has effected cures truly astonishing,
not only of Cancer, and other diseases Of that
class, but has removed the most stubborn diseases
Of the Skin, swellings Liver Complaint, Dyspep-
STA, sc. sc. This medicine enters into the cir
culation, and eradicates diseases wherever loca-
ted. 1t puri6es the blood and other fluids of the
body, removes obstruction in the pores Of the skin,
and reduces the engagements of the glands or
bones. II increases the appetite, removes head
ache and drowsiness, and mvigorates the whole
system, and imparts animation to the diseased and
debilitated constitution. There is nothing superior
TO i IN the whole mater medica. Ii is perfectly
safe and extremely pleasant, and has nothing of
the disgusting nausea accompanying the idea Of
swallowing medicine.

with the expense of separate supreme
court.
Mr.. LEWIS spoke in favor of the amend
inent
DIR. GALE made short speech against it.
Mr. kILBoURN moved TO amend the
amendment by making the supreme Judges
elective by the people of the whole stale.
Air. LAKIN expressed himself decidedly
IN favor Of the single district system, a. well
Tor the election Of judges as for any other
officers.
DIR. WHIToN opposed the amendment on
the ground that the business of the supreme
court at present would not be sufficient to
warrant the expense of ii.
Mr.. DORIAN commenced speaking in IA
yor OF separate organization of supreme
court, and gave way to motion of
Mr.. LOWELL, that the committee rise. re-
port progress and ask leave to sit again.
Leave was granted, and the convention
adjourned till half past two o'clock.
After further discussion in the after
noon, the question was put and the amend
ment rejected, "a 10 81.
An amendment offered by Mr.. DoRAN,
providing that the legislature might have
power after five years, if deemed necessary,
to establish separate Supreme Court, was
carried.
The Judiciary question was still under
discussion last Saturday evening. and the
day of adjournment was still qufte doubtful.

News by Lightning.

We understand that the Telegraph line
between Milwaukee and Chicago is in a
condition to receive orders by lightning, and
that operators at each end of the line are on
ly wanted to place those cities in commune
cation. We also understand that within a
very few months, at farthest, the different
lines between Chicago and Buffalo will be
completed. When these links shall have
been added, there will be continuous Tel
egraphic chain between Milwaukee and
asfngton-thus bringing the Commer-
cial Mart of the Far West within = mo-
ment's trarei of the Capital of the Union /!
How wonderfully progressiye'' is science,
when backed by lightning
The Magnetic Telegraph is working a
mighty revolution in matters of newspaper
publication. Heretofore, the eastern jour
mails have been eagerly sought for, as con-
tanning the latest news. Before they had
the Telegraph TO compete with, those who
consulted them for such news, consulted
them not in vain. But now it is otherwise.
Uncle Sans mail, whether carried by horse
or steam, finds lightning little too nimble
for it. News that may be transmitted in a
moment from New York to Milwaukee, by
than two weeks by mail, at this season of
the year. As consequence, the newspa-
pers of New York viii no longer be ae1s
papers when they reach this longitude; and
as far as that commodity is concerned, they
will hereafter be utterly worthless.
Persons in this territory particularly, who
have an eve the latest news, must subscribe
for the Milwaukee daily papers. Long be-
fore the present session of Congress shall
have closed, those papers of one day will
be able to furnish their readers with the
proceedings of that body of the previous
day. As mediums oflate intelligence, there
fore. they must entirely supersede the pa
pers of the Far East.
The country press, by the aid of the Tel
egraph, can furnish news to western readers
at least week in advance of their eastern
contemporaries. This, added to the aboli-
ton of the infamous law of the last session
of Congress, taxing papers circulating with
in so miles of their offices % publication,
viii contribute much to place the country
press of the west where it of right belongs
beyond the influence of foreign COMPETE

En-. HERALp:--Dear Sir,--lf the county
of Grant should ever be divided, which il
certainly will not be for many years, il will
need to be divided near the centre, by line
running East and West When the settle
ments in the north Of the county shall be-
come populous, il may be a matter Of con-
yenience TO them to have division, with a
county seat ut Patch Grove or Fennimore;
but while the north is content TO remain in
the county we ought to be satisfied to lei
them remain. But the idea of dividing the
county by north and south line, leaving the
extremes of both counties as Ear removed
from the centre as they now are, is highly
absurd. Platteyile never has and never
can convince the people, that Grant county
ought TO be split ieagihwise, simply for the
purpose of making that town county seat.
As they are at their old trick of agtatng
the question of this division Of Grant, and
praying also for slice Of Lafayette, it win
be necessary again for the taxpayers of the
county TO demonstrate against division.

the pure article. A few humps have been
found, weighing from half an ounce to an
ounce and halt, which has been pronoun-

been organized to work il, MessrS. Blanch-
ard, Hewitt and Blood, acting as directors,
and that quite a geld mania has sprung up
in that section of country.

Extract of a Letter from Benton, La
fayette county, w. Il.
January 25th, 1915.

9" Nor is il any benefit to any one; not
even TO the people Of Shullsburgh; for II is
a fact of which we are well aware in Ben
ton, that the location of the seat of justice
in village which has any other resources,
always has tendency to make the village
scrubby, unthrifty and unpopular. Through
HamiIton's settlement and along the Peka-
tonica, there is nothing but discomfort. Al
though we have not a solitary public build
ing, nor funds to build a bridge or open a
road, our county is in debt, badly in debt
BY division, we have actually jumped out
of the frying pan into the fire; and if the
question were now submitted TO the choice
OF the tax payers Of Lafayette county, aside
from Shulsburgh, two to one would vote
for re-uniting with Iowa county. We are
not only losers in purse, by the division, but
we are losers in every way. The man who,
as matter Of convenience and profit in at
fairs of litigation, thinks ii beneficial to have
a Court House and an army Of hungry at
torneys and officers, at the corner of his
farm, shows as little knowledge Of cause
and effect and the natural tendency of things,
as the farmer would, who should select the
haunt of wolves for a sheep pasture. Suits
multiply in proportion TO the convenience of
Courts, just as stabbing is most frequent
where every man carries dirk in his boz
som. Litigation will be fully doubled by
the division, and il we have not as far to
travel as formerly, the tax upon our time as
jurymcn aud witnesses, will be greater, and
we shall get less pay FOR il. As to political
influence, Lafayette is reduced to mere
cypher. We carry too ltlo political capi-
raj into the Legislature, TO drive bargains for
our own benefit. In every aspect and view
OF this subject, we have every cause to re-
greet and none TO rejoice over the separation
of Lafayette from Iowa county"

The Protection Policy.

The Protection Policy.
Incidence is naturally enyious. The poor
shiftIess rascal, who spends his life in loaf
ing about bar-rooms, looks through green
eyes at his thrifty neighbor, who by untiring
industry and careful economy, is placed
above want. This is the whole secret OF
hostility to the manufacturing interest. In
the South, it has colored the whole body
polite, with the gangrene Of jealousy. In
the Nor.h, il affects individuals with the
same base spirit. II i by encouraging this
spirit Of envy, that demagognes attempt to
gain influence and promotion. They make
an outrageous cutlery about monopoly and
rested capital and those awful aristocrats,
the Lawrences and Appletons. Now capi-
and most unfortunate would it be for labor, il
it were not. The capital of the South, is
invested in three millions Of slaves; whose
productions only discourage free industry
and depress honest labor to the very lowest
degree. lay it down as an axiom in polit-
ical economy, that Capital is always vested
most benefcially, when it most stimulates and
calls into exercise the labor and productive
industry of the country. ZADoR PRATT
with his great tannery, employing hundreds
OF hands, giving life and action and indus
try and wealth to large village and mar
ket for the surplus produce of every farm
within thirty miles, has his capital wen vest
ed, for others as well as for himself Sup.
pose that Mr.. PRATT had grown equally
rich by speculations in Brooklyn lots and
should retire into some corner and commence
the business of sharing notes, or should send
an agent West, to invest all his capital in
Chicago and Milwaukee lots, he might to
be sure, get rich, and escape the envious
denunciations Of the g Farmer of Grant,
but he would thereby unband thousand
wheels of productive industry TO which his
capital now gives motion, aud leave the
flourishing town of Prattsvile as desolate
as a goose pasture.
But can anything be more absurd, than to
call the manufacturing interest monopoly?
Ii is open to all; and is no more a monopo-
ly than grinding wheat is. The South can
manufacture and is manufacturing. Any
man or men who have capital enough, can
make half dozen cotton factories on the
Platte or on Grant river, which will have
the same protection that the Lowell facto-
ries have, and greater; because they will
save something in transportation. Any man
who has the cash to buy with, can go into
State street and buy as much factory stock
as he pleases. Why not do itf For the
simple reason, that the man who has capi-
tai in the West can make more money by
investing in lands and city lots which will
increase in value by the industry aud inn
proeements of others-for the reason that
il is easier to ride to wealth in one of the
cushioned cars, than it is to fire up the en-
CINE of the locomotive which propels the
whole train.
