ministers to bring forward any measures oalcu-
lated to abridge in the slightest degree the
ancient chartered municipal rights Of the city,

revolution.

Distributing the Spoils.

Ex-Gov. Barstow who had for some DAYS
previously been honoring our city with his pres
ence, was on Saturday last joined here by a
number of individuals from several parts of the
State, known and recognized as his friends
and trusty followers. The particular occasion
of the gathering was not known certainly, but
was generally supposed to be, to receive and
assist in distributing the spoils obtained by the
sale of the Hudson and Superior Railroad, to
the La Crosse and Milwaukee Company, the
former road, being the peculiar property of the
Ex-Governor and his friends and followers.
1t would have been happy thing for the country
if Congress had early embraced the wisdom of
giving the public lands in limited quantities to
those who would cultivate them, or even selling
them in limited quantities to that class of per-
sons only. But it did not and they have gone
as they have, and are where they are. In do
mating them in large quantities to the States in
aid of Railroads, they have done but little for
the States, but much in the way of enrichinc
corporations and individuals. A railroad that
ought to be built at all, would sooner or later be
built without this aid; and as a general thing
the routes upon which grants are conferred to
aid, are expected to pay as soon as they are
finished. AS general thing too, the compa-
MES who get the grants expect to get either the
lands or the road for nothing or next to nothing
This makes the grants then practically dona-
ton for the enrichment of the individuals who
are lucky enough in their corporate capacity to
get hold of them. And as the interests of the
no cd ~ Ia, 4, Al
of Congress making the grants confer title only
as the road is built, and no company can get
the lands excep: as the road is completed, the
question into whose hands tho lands shall fall
becomes from the nature of things a mere strife
for the spoils, in which there is little or no room
for patriotism, and no other choice except as be
tween the individuals to be enriched.
The La Crosse company we notice by its pub
lished report, estimates the value of its grant
at some twelve or thirteen millions of dollars
and processes TO expect to clear its road by
the payment of but a small investment OF its
capital. This makes it, of course, monster
corporation in wealth, with prospect of all
the power that such wealth: commands, and
hence we imagine the fact of its being depleted
of portion of this wealth. we know not to what
extent, by the Hudson and Superior company,
viii occasion but little regret, unless it be, as to
the men into whose hands the plumber has fall
len And as this class of men are almos. sure
to be the ones reaping the advantages of such
donations, 1T brings us round to our starting
point, OF regret that Congress had not early
adopted policy with reference to the public
lands which would have benefited the whole
people, and leads US to conclude with the hone
that Congress is about through with the policy
OF giving the patrimony of the whole people to
a few adventures and spectators.

DUTY of the Democratic Press

Under the above head the Fond du Lac Union
has a lengthy article, in which the Democratic
members of the Press are instructed in their du
ties, as partizans We clip the following from
the article for the benefit of such of our demo-
cratic brethren as do not receive the Union, that
they may understand their duties, and know
what is expected of them:
eTherefore, we say distinctly that no paper is
worthy OF patronage, sympathy, or fellowship,
in the Democratic ranks, that does not sustain
the men elevated to power This is the mani
fest duty of the Democratic press. The union,
peace and future success of the party, depends
upon this, and let every paper that violates
this duty, be counted an enemy to the party, and
treated as such"
There it is i'll plain terms. If any democrat
gets int power no matter by what means,
whether by bribery, corruption, or fraud-no
matter how wicked or inefficienty he performs
the duties of the office-it is "the manifest duty"
of the democratic press" to sustain and up
hold him in all his acts, for the sake of "the
union, peace and future success of the party"
If any Democratic editor is so unwise, SO care
less ofthe future success of the party, to raise
his voice against iniquity and corruption among
his party leaders-if he objects 20 following the
lead of wire-pulers, and doughfaced Office hold
ers, he sis not worthy of patronage, sympathy
or fellowships in the democratic ranks
| 1t has always been the policy of the Demo-
cracy to stifs inquiry and smother investigation
in its own ranks. A blind acquiescence of the
masses, in the doingS of the leaders, has always
been required as proof of orthodoxy. Even an
objection to a nominee, for Office, or question
whether better might not have been nomina-
ted has been declared heresy of grave nature,
and punishable with the anathemas of the
party. 1t is in this way that the Democratic
party has SO long managed to retain its power,
notwithstanding the fagrancy of its acts, and
the open wickedness of its leaders.
The more immediate cause, for the present
lecture of the Democratic press" is to be found
in the course of several of the Democratic pa
pers of this State. Men have begun to indulge
in free discussion and investigation into the
doings of those elected to Office is disastrous to
| the Democratic party not only in regard to its
future, but its present union and success. But
we imagine the day is past when the success of
a party can be made the sole obj ect and aim Of
men, who are not personally and pecuniarily in
terested in that result. The frauds and pecu-
lation of leaders at home, and the wrongs and
abuses they uphold, abroad have opened the eyes
of men and they have boldly condemned both.
We doubt whether they can ever again succeed
in inducing majority of the people to shut
their eyes, and follow the ignis fatuus of modern
democracy, wherever it may lead without ques-
ton.

Indian Troubles in sIinne.otn and low,
