rsA~ The Chicago Times concludes
a long and able article upon the
suffrage question as follows:
at is thus seen that the doctrine Of
impartial suffrage is one of the earli-
est and most essential doctrines of
the Democracy. 1t is the affirma.
ton of the right of every man who
is a pQ,taKer Of the burdens of the
State, to be represented by his own
consent or vote in its government.
1t is the first principle on which
all true republican Governments
rest. 1t is the basis up0a which
the liberties Of America will be
preserved, if they are preserved az
all. The Democratic party must re-
turn from its driftings, and stand
upon the immoyable rock of princi-
pies"
The above extracts could not
60 ain any more truth if they bad
appeared originally in a republican
paper.

Southern Wis. R. IA New Enterprise.

Senator Earnest has moved in the
legislature some amendment to the
laws which II is boDeI Cd may secure
a direct continuation of the southern
Wisconsin Railroad toward Dubuque,
as at first designed.
Inasmuch as this road is owned by
and in full control of the Milwaukee
and Prairie du CHEN company, we
cannot see how it is possible that
there is any danger Of its diversion
to Warren, or that the proprietors Of
the Wisconsin roads can entertain
any thought of giving up to the III
inois roadsters this one of their best
members. Were such diversion to
be made the southern Wisconsin
road must henceforth be controlled
by antagonisms impossible to har-
monise. The entire southern Wis
consin road, in event of such diver
sion, must become part Of the His
nois system of roads-yet very
useless concern for the reason that
its head and tail will ever be and re
main as antipode to every common
interest as would any corporate con
Germ with its scorpion dOublehead join
ed to the tail of rat. The result
would be parallel roads with heads,
one at Chicago, the other at Mllwau-
kee, and but one tail attached at Du-
buque.
The southern Wisconsin road will
doubtless elongate in the direction OF
Dubuque, as at first designed, and by
way Of Block House Branch and
Platte river in Grant county, or by
way Of Plattevile should the Gala
mine connection be abandoned.
But, should the Warren extension
be success, Dubuque VIII then start
an original and independent move
mcnt no less than that of securing a
direct connection with the Wiscon-
sin system Of railroads BY means OF
short road from Dunlieth north TO
boscobel distance 45 miles, or to Mus
coda, 10 miles further. This enter
prise, saying nothing of the many
vast benefits to. Dubuque and central
Iowa, would SECURE to Wisconsin at
trifing expense and especially to
the NJ. & Pr. du. CHEN road proprie-
tors an immense business. For this
big thing there could Il ma difficulty
in procuring aid, without begging it
from the people, who, t We under
stand /" w. X. Z :" in his labored ar
ticle in the HERALD this week, ire

a Screw Loose--An InceLdiary Person.

Mr.. CovFR
| wish to say to you that there ap.
pears to be a screw loose in the en-
CINE that runs the county govern
ment, which if not attended to soon
will probably cause the boiler to
burst and the whole thing to be
blown up.
| don't know the exact power ..
the county engine, but should sup.
pose that if it was but q one horse
power it would have sufficient
strength to restrain a poor weak
woman from running at large after
having burned the poor house. But
as this is not done | conclude that
the keeper has somehow learned
" that a penny saved, is as good as a
penny earned and as he has her
name upon his books he probably
expects to make g big thing" by
keeping it there and drawing pay
for her keeping while she is permit
ted to wander in the dead of winter
to the great annoyance Of the good
citizens hereabouts and daily
danger Of perishing with cold. Tell
me not that we can make a complaint
against her to the proper authorities
and have her taken up ; no one
wants the trouble she has often
been taken back and is as often
turned loose | should think if the
man at the head of the poor house
was not smart enough to keep her
the authorities ought to put another
in his place.

REMARKs.-The woman alluded to,
Susan st. John, it is said, really be-
longs to Wyalusing or Tafton to
support, but has become county
charge by some means or other.
We have NJ AIDE some inquiries as
to whose duty it is to see to her, and
find that the Supervisor of the west
district should take her in charge.
Mr.. Halbert, since the burning Of
the County Farm House, has no
place for her md is not prepared to
lock up any incendiary person. He
does not draw pay for her support
only when she Is with him. Her
disposition to run away makes him
not responsible for her, unless the
supervisors furnish him the means
for her close confinement. We
should think she might be taken and
put into the county jail, though the
right to do SO is questioned. Very
much trouble is anticipated on ac
count OF such persons until new
county buildings are erected.
