HEAVY OK US.-LaSt winter the Leg
islature reduced the fees for legal al
vertisemenGS. Bat little was said on
the part of this paper oil the subject.

stand it if others did. Since that pc
riod there has been a great change. -
Printers stock Of all kinds has advanc-
ed in price from so to 100 per cent,
and is still advancing. We ask the
coming Legislature to look at this mat
ter candidly and fairly, and then de
eide whether or no 4 sum sufficient to
compensate the press of this State
should not be fixed upon. Give us a
living price, or drop tho matter entire
ly, and allow publishers to fix upon
terms to suit themselves. Either this
must be done or the present members
of the Legislature array themselves
against solid institution of the coun-
try.-Lu Crosse Democrat.
This very reduction to which the
Democrat alludes caused the demise
of several good papers in the State
1t was an outrageous transaction
smuggled through without the knowl-
edge Of half Of the members of the
Legislature. And now, with the enor-
NOUS advance of everything that per.
tains to the publishing business, there
are men in the present Legislature who
design to make an effort for still fur
ther reduction of the fees for advertis
ing. We have no idea that the mum
ber of this class is large. Such an at
tempt should be frowned down by 81
candid, fair-minded men.

A TEST QUESTION.

On Monday the House passed bill APP
propriating twenty millions to pay bountits
to the soldiers. While pending in Commit
tee, Mr.. Harding of Kentucky moved pro.
viso that u par, Of the money should be used
for arming equipping and payment of negro
soldiers. Here was a capital test question as
to negro soldiers and we find Al ayes, en-
bracing slave State members, and "a Dem
ocrats, most OF whom were repudiated by
their constituents In the elections OF $685.
The noes were 1906. embracing at least 10 Of
the border State members few Democrats
Of undoubted loyalty, such as Bailey, Odell
and Ward and, for a wonder, one peace
Democrat Fernando Wood. The leader Of
the opposition (Cox Of Ohio voted not to let
the negroes fight and Immediately followed
up that vote by resolution to ill up the army
by calling ont he militia OF, If that is not ex-
pedeut, that the existing provisions as to
substitutes and paying Communication be re-
pealed. SO it seems that Cox is for forcing
the white militia men to do all the fighting
without relief by substitutes, or communication,
or the service OF oolored men. In word, the
copperhead plan is for the negroes to be the
privileged class in this war, and the white
men the slaves.

The Springfield Republican thinks Ex-
Clerk Etheredge is insane. Not bit OF it,
unless it is as every body is insane who is so
weak that he cannot be weaned from pap
Etheredge is both sane and smart but not in
ialible. Every Administration since Jack
sons has been in a minority in Congress in
the last two years of its term. Last summer,
Etheredge counted upon an opposition major
ity in the House at this Congress, according
TO the general rule, so he cultivated the dem
ocracy by abusing the President outrageous
~, and calculated upon success by the united
votes of the border-state men and the demo-
eraoy He missed figure, and found the
balance altogether against him. He may be
mad about it, but we insist that he is not in
sane. He lie morally and politically RESPONSE
BILE d.; and we are as glad the House held him
to that responsbility, as we would have been
for his reelection had he behaved himself as
well as he knows how to behave.
