Out of the Ring.

The Crawford county elections
hawe knocked Merrill of the Courier
AMI his man Friday, alids butcher,
out OF the ring on printing steals.
They are expected to emigrate to
some warm region, where negro
equality will not involve their degre-
dation, and where blank printing
frauds will not be forbidden because
there will be no union man to inter-
fere. We hear it reported that Craw-
ford is the third county which Dntch-
er has helped to turn over to t.le UNI
ion party by his infamies as a politi-
clan and rogue. Were Lafayette
county not so near union We should
advise his settlement there awhile.
As to Merrill, he ought TO be indicted
and tried at this term of Crawford
Court for having lately published the
truth in a single instance, and upon
the rendering Of verdict be allowed
to depart for parts unknown.

Waldo Brown in Town .

WALDO BRowN, the able and sue
cessfnl editor of the Prairie du Chien
Union, visited Lancaster the other
day-the best pleased man we have
met over election results, his county
having gone union by respectable
majority and electing nearly all The
union candidates for the county Off
ces-including also Capt. 0. b. Thorn
as for the Assembly.
Mr.. Waldo Brown is rare in
stance OF editorial success without
having in some way served a time at
either the printing or editing Of
newspaper. lie possesses no re-
markable tact as writer, but there
Is manliness and courteousness in
his editorials which gives them char
acter and interest. His chief might
and strength as an editor consist
however in candor and strict regard
for truth in all his editorials, poIlti-
cal as well as local and literary
He even exhibits a high degree Of
editorial bravery in outright admis-
slons Of what may seem hurtful to
his side of an issue. He never con
ceals the faults in his party or defects
in his own practice, yet by his can
dor seems undesigningly to change
such faults into virtues, and defects
into harmonies.
Mr.. Brown is therefore an exam
pie of editorial success worthy of a
more general imitation. The fact
that his competitor, Merrill Of the
Courier, is the opposite to Brown in
every particular, withal Of first rate
tact and ability, yet total failure in
the field with Brown, ought to be
we'll weighed by the editorial frater-
nifty and turned to good account.
Editorial success is what is most
desirable among the fraternity, but
unfortunately such success is usually
sought by means Of wear and tear OF
conscience in the practice Of untruth
iul statement and by concealment or
perversion of facts-also, by a sys-
tematic flattery of persons in power,
and by a mean trucking to persons
suspected Of influence aud wealth.
and neglect of the masses and their
interests. MIR. Brown is an example
OF success over az unusual and we
think an easier route-certainlv 70
palmer and more worthy to follow.

A SINGULAR Casa few days
since Mr.. l.. n Dewey, residing in
the Sixth Ward, while handling "a
fish. accidently scratched his finger
with 4 bone. The finger soon COM
mcnced to swell, and IN a few days
modification set in, rendering ampu-
tation necessary. This did not seem
to mend matters, and 10 a few days
the finger was again amputated.
Even this does not seom sufficient. for
the whole hand is nav affected, it be-
ing mass Of putridity, and no hopes
OF saving it arc entertained. Mr.. ID.

Neighbaring Supports of Grant all
Union.

The fact that the several counties
and cities bordering on Grant, in
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, have
gone union, affords us equal pleas
urc with the result of 1900 or 1000
Union majority in Grant. Clayton
and Dubuque in Iowa led off bowling
to the Union, and Galena H., has
followed, with Crawford, RichIand,
Iowa and Lafayette in Wisconsin
and the Mississippi River, it is said,
on whose broad bosom every steam-
boat carries the Union flag, is Off
cercd and manned from prov to
stern with union men. Lafayette
County is reported with but 100
Coppcrhcad majority, which will
soon be wiped out, and Dubuque
County, though 1000 Coppcrhead,
has lost It's power, the city having
gone union. Crawford and iowa
Counties, with Galena, are radically
redeemed But Il few years Since
all the Counties named were solid
democratic, Grant the illuminating
center only right in a circle most Of u
quarter OF q million square mikes =

Credit Discredited.

Mr.. D. III. Buld, who is carrying
on pretty largely in Lancaster, the
manufacture of wagons, buggies and
sleighs, inds that unless his patrons
pay him more promptly he may have
to make some radical changes in his
method of doing business. See adj
vortisement.
There are still persons, perhaps a
majority, who seem to think that
mechanics, manufacturers, merchants
and such generally as consume
largely of labor and stock for which
the cash must be paid on the spot,
can grant few months of credit with
out being losers thereby.
This is Il mistake. Laboring me-
clianics must be paid daily or weekly.
Stocks, rents, merchandise, fuel, lights
provisions, &c, must be paid for on
the spot. Farm stuffs, as flour, pork,
butter &c, must be paid for No
saymer credits, and any other man
who credits is sure to fail in business.
The crcditing mechanic, manufactur-
pr, or merchant must fail-unless he
own more capital than he can use.
But" says the farmer, chow am
| to get along without some credit 2
We answer, you car do better bor-
rowing money to pay as You go than
your mechanic, manufacturers or
merchant can. For every wagon
you purchase on credit your wagon
maker must pay out at least 500 in
money TO his hired men and for stock
used. He clears a matter Of $25 to so
--or rather he seems to clear so much
on every wagon sold, but this sum
disappears in wear and tear and he
is deceived. You promise to pay him
but di7appoint him.
With your tailor, boot maker and
blacksmith it is the same. Your
credit patronage is their ruin And
in roundabout reactiopary way your
own ruin also, for the mass of people
cannot be fourishing when a part are
debt ridden.
The war has effected certain chang
IS in business affairs to which all must
either submit or be the ruined victims.
There is 10 compromise or half way
refuge. Among such changes result
AM from the war is credit in all its
ways and by-ways. You cannot sup
port the old credit system or any Of
its Tarts because credit banking,
credit merchandising, credit manufac-
turing, &c, are all done away with,
the Federal government having just
monopolisod over all as the exclusive
borrower.
In the large cities where intelligent
business only is done, nobody thinks
Of buying on credit. 1t is in the
country where the people entertain
blind notions Of the virtues Of credit.
The farmers are the greatest support.
crs of credit, and are sticking for it
the most doggedly of any people in
The country And they lead the ne,
thanics and merchants into the same
forbidden ana destructive PRACTICE.
The man who uses credit ought to
bear its burdens but the victims arc
those who give credit as well as those
who receive it.
In the case of Mr.. Budd, there is
no necessity Of his crcditing any one.

Mini 6 at Fairplay,

The country about Fairplay was
probcd some years since by the
American Mining Company, to the
depth of near 200 feet, steam power
being used for driving the water
pumps The water was slightly
lowered in the vicinity. Some min
eral was taken ont. The work was
reckoned failure, rather from i'll
luck than from error in calculations.
The agents in charge of the enter
prise were not practical miners, but
were industrious II en- and intelligent.
Some Of the old Fairplay miners
became quito onvious toward the en-
CINE shaft and Mining Company and
did all they could by litigations and
by stirring up the people to pre-
vent the accomplishment OF the un-
dertaking, which was to sink into
and test the lower maguesian lime
rock for mineral.

formed for driving the water from
