Gx~J JOHN Z. SHEPHERD left with us a fe

GS JOHN I. SHEPHERD left with us few
days since, a stem of grape vine about six
inches in length, containing four clusters of
grapes, the aggregate weight of which could
not have been less than a pound, and was
probably something more. On visiting his
garden and examining his vines, we found
the sample he left us hardly fair speci-
men of the fruitfulness of the vines. They
were literally loaded, presenting almost a
solid mass of grapes from one end to the
other: every shoot Of this years growth
being covered with rich clusters. These
grapes are the Isabella valiety-as fine a
grape IN all respects as is grown. We are
not aware however, that the yield of Mr.
Shepherds vines is very unusual and we
mention it mainly to show the general fertili-
ty of the soil in this respect. 1t seems to
us impossible that more productive yields
or finer grapes can be had any place than
from the vines around this neighborhood
In this connection, we may add, thatMr.
Shepherd has effectually protected his
grapes from that worst enemy, the mildew,
by the common remedy of powdered sui

THE TEMPERANCE CANVASS.

Mr.. Booth of the Free Democrat has re-
turned to his post, and announces the pre-
sence in the state, to labor in the temper
ance cause, of Mrs. G. /. II. NICHOLS, of
Vermont. She is accompanied by Mrs. L.
F. Fowler, who was here during the past
summer, who will assist in the work when
desired, although her mission has reference
more particularly to lectures on anatomy
and physiology. The Free Democrat thus
speaks of Mrs. Nichols:
"She is every where well received in her
own state; has, by request, several times
addressed the legislature in behalf of the
Maine Law, and her services are in constant
requisition at home She is talented and
undetermined woman, of excellent iudg-
ment, and thoroughly imbued with the
Christian spirit, who will say just the things
which are needed-not a word too little or
too much"
From what we hear from other sources,
we are sure the above does Mrs. Nichols
no more than justice. Ono or two large
meetings have already been held at Mil
Waukte, which were addressed by these Ia
ules, to the 71ry great satisfaction of the
audience. We suppose either of them can
be had in the different parts of the state by
the proper effort.
a woman's state temperance convention
is to be held at Delavan, while we write, to-
day, (the 29th) to be addressed by these
ladies. The Free Democrat has the follow
ing very proper and appropriate comments
on the efforts of women in this sphere:
"There is one strong reason in favor OF
women's laboring in this cause. They have
no political ambition to be gratified, and can
not be accused of seeking political ends
They labor solely for the cause, and as they
are the greatest sufferers from intemperancc
and can speak most feelingly of the woes il
produces, SO they can make the most effec
tive appeals to the hearts of the people il
behalf OF temperance and the Maine law

Gs- Our late papers from the north bring
us intelligence of the death of Lieut. Gov
Burns, of bilious fever, on Wednesday of
last week, at his home in Lacrosse. The
last time we saw Gov. Burns, which was
but short time since, he was the picture
of manly health and vigor, and none exhi-
bited promise of a longer life. But he is
gone, adding another to the many eviden-
cesof heuncertainty of human calculations
in this respect. In qualities of head and
heart few men were more gifted than Gov
Burns, to which his rapid rise from humble
life to comparatively conspicuous position
may be referred. His loss will be severely
feltby his family and more immediate friends
and will be not entirely unfelt by the state
at large.

GE MAINE LAW ARGUMENTS men
have been confined in ourcounty Jail during
the past week, for whipping and otherwise
abnsing their wives while in state of in
toxicaton. From the peculiar nature of
these cases, we are quite sure they would
not have occurred if we had a prohib-
itory liquor law in operation. To say no.
thing of this in a moral point of view, we
ask the tax payers who have the bills to
foot in these matters, if it is not good policy
! to put a stop to such expenses.

IgThe Waukcsha Chronotype deni

GyT The Waukcsha Chronotype denies
distinctly the assertion Of the Temperance
Signal, that Mr.. Barstow has committed
himself to veto prohibitory liquor law,
if he is made Governor, should one be pas
sed. We expected this denial, but are by
no means convinced that private assurances
of that nature have not been given. 1t will
be borne in mind that various associations
in the state, representing it is supposed, a
very large number of voters, have resolved
to support no man for Governor who would
not take the stand Barstow is said to have
taken. THEY are supporting Mr.. Barstoac,
without word of dissent In addition to
this, all the influences in the state, which
have continually denounced this law as ty-
rannical, unjust and unconstitutional, are
zealously supporting Mr.. Barstow Per
haps Mr.. B. has given no direct pledge in
the matter, butwe ask if it is at all probable
all these influences are united on him, with
out knowing their man,
One thing is certain. The 7 cmocratic
party of this state, as party, is committed
against a prohibitory law The following
resolution unanimously passed by the CON
yention which nominated Barstow means
that so far as it means any thing, and was
intended to express that, so far as it express
ses any thing:
Resolced, That free religion, free schools,
free press, free speech, free suffrage, and
free and unrestricted trade in commerce,
agriculture and manufactures, form part and
parcel of the cardinal principles of the De-
mocratic creed
The friends of a prohibtory law who as
sist to elect the democratic candidate for
governor, and to keep up the democratic
ascendency generally in the state, may cal
culate if this dominant power does not find
some way in which to defeat the measure
it will embarass its enactment.

GsEWhen will the laws and journals be

Legislature, and yet the people have not had
the least opportunity of knowing what was
done by the last. And this delay is the
more extraordinary from the fact that, as
we know, the volume of general laws and
the journals were both very nearly compile
ted at the close of the session, nearly three
months ago. We have been very anxious
to get hold of the journals to give our rea-
ders some little history Of the Legislative do
ings, but we begin to think our democratic
brethren mean to keep them close until af-
ter election.

re- We supposed opposition to monop-
olies was a cardinal principle of the De-
mocracy. But the democracy of modern
days is not the Democracy of the times of
Andrew Jackson. AS was seen by our last
weeks paper, resolution introduced in the
late Democratic State Convention, against
the policy of large grants of land to private
companies for private purposes, was en-
phatically repudiated. Of all the objec-
tionable monopoles in the world, the mo-
nopoly of the soil is the worst. Give men
land, home, and we defy the power of
capital in any form to Cypress the masses,
but monopolise the land or allow it to be
monopolized, and every other possible mo-
nopoly will flow from it, just as certainly as
that the land is the fundamental element of
subsistence and the basis of everything else.
Yet the democracy of this State endorse
land monopoly-absolutely recommend it,
indirectly, and avow their purpose to go in
tor 1t We ask the people candldly If there
is really any Democracy in this? If any
amount of professions can make Democra-
cy of it? If Democracy means anything,
it means the welfare of the people, and if
Democratic party has any mission, it is to
minister to that welfare. Yet here, par
ty calls itself Democratic, and asks the peo-
pie to support its candidates on such pro-
fessions, after it has planted itself on the
same principles on which are planted all the
monarchy and aristocracy of the old world,
and out of which flow all the expressions
and suffering of the people of the old world.
The people of the Roman and Grecian Re
publcs were led to destruction by needing
the plausible professions of corrupt leaders.

! STATE SurERINTESDENT:-Jotn G. Ne
Nynn. Who is John G. McMynn? What
are his qualifications for the office of State
Superintendent? ANY answers to these
interrogatories, are quite unnecessary for
the information of the people in this por-
ton of the State: here he is toowelfknown,
to need any introduction TO the public.
The people however in other portions OF
the State, may be less acquainted with the
man, and his fitness for the Office, for which
his name appears before the public.
| Mr.. McMynn is native of the State of
New Y ork; he began his early career in
life without the aid of money or influential
friends-he was poor. By industry and
pursevering effect, he managed to obtain
thorough common School education. Not
satisfied however, with this, he resolved to
press his way onward to the obtainment of
collegiate education. For the accom-
plishment of this object, he applied HIM
self to hard work on farm and teaching
portion of the time. Thus by work,
teaching and applying his little leisure to
diligent study, he was enabled to enter, the
Sophomore class, at Williams College in
1915. In 1848 he graduated and received
his college diploma. While in college he
distinguished himself among his classmates
for rapid progress, receiving tokens of es-
TEEN from his preceptors. Having com
pleted his collegiate education he came to the
west in 1848 and took charge of the public
school in the North Ward in this city. Oul
educational affairs at that time, were not il
very fattering condition. The schoo
under his charge was soon raised to reputa
ton, that attracted the attention of The
friends of education generally in this vincin
ty. He subsequently took charge of Public
School No. 1, in this city, and continued t.
occupythe position as Principal of the schoo
up to the close of the term in August last
The reputation of this school under hi
guidance, is widely known in the State. Gu
present. State superintendent, DR.. Ladd ,ha
pronour ccd it the best school in the State
and no one we think who is at all acquaint
ed with the condition of our common school
in Wisconsin, has any doubt as to the cor
rectness of the opinion of DR.. Ladd in thi
matter. Mr.. McMynn is therefore, not on
ly thoroughly educated man, but is one G
the best practical teachers in the west
These qualifications united with his we
known energy and decision of character
eminently fit him for the Office Of State Su
