FOURTH OF JNLY-Three weeks from
to-day the 9lst anniversary of the Decla-
ration of Independence will take place.
Many cities and villages throughout the
states are making preparations to celeb
rate the event in manner worthy of the
occasion. Manitowoc should not be be-
hind its neighbors in celebrating this Ma
tional holiday, and if anything is to be
done, it is time that our citizens should
take hold of the matter. 1t has been
the custom of the Village Board to make
an appropriation for defraying part of the
expenses in celebrating the Fourth, and
we presume it will do the same this year.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-We are indebted
to gentleman of this place for the fol-
lowing particulars: In 1916 man in
this county entered tract of land at the
Land Office in Menasha, in payment for
which he gave Land Warrant and took
a receipt. He lived On his land, improv-
ing it as far as his means would admit,
until a few years ago when he was polite
ly informed the land did not belong to
him, his warrant was bogus and that
another man had purchased the land.
He enquired of his friends what he should
| do, and one of them wrote to Washing
ton about it. The case underwent ex-
animation. The receipt for the warrant
went forward and finally the warrant it.
self found its way to Washington, was
pronounced genuine, and Tuesday the
| patent for the land in the name of the
man who first entered it, was received at
our Post Office. So we presume the
sharper who expected to get an improved
farm at $l,25 per acre is somewhat dis
appointed. while the officer who failed to
send on the warrant deserves to be cash
tered if he is still in service.

HORSE THIEF.-On Saturday last
German by the name of julius Bretxler,
about q years Of age, stopped at the
Wisconsin House, Two Rivers, j. G.
Weilep Proprietor, and asked for horse
and buggy with which to come to this
place. Mr.. Weilep had horse hitched to
buggy, but concluded to send the hestler
along with the team. They arrived here
all right and put up at the Farmer S
House. Quite large number Of far
mers were here congregated and Breeder
at once concluded there was good
chance for 'sbusiness and commenced
his Sight hand performances and telling
fortunes for a small consideration. Mr..
Weilep having instructed the hostler to
return by dark, he informed the fortune
teller that it was time to return home,
and to which proposition he readily ac-
guessed. The horse being hitched to the
buggy and tied to a post in front of the
house, the hostler informed the game
ster' that he was ready but desired him
to wait just minute while he we would
go to see friend across the street. IT.
the meantime Bretzler united the horse
and drove of. The hostler thinking that
he had just taken the the horse to drive
around town little while, waited few
hours for his return, but he did not come.
Finally he got out a warrant for Bretzler' S
arrest, it having been ascertained that a
horse and buggy answering the descrip-
| ton, was seen driving in the direction OF
Sbeboygan. As soon as Sheriff Blake
| returned from the country he immediate
ly started after the horse thief and fol
lowed him as far as Sheboygan Falls,
when he sent the Sheboygan County
Sheriff after the culprit. Mr. Weilen
also telegraphed to the Chief of Police
in Milwaukee, and Tuesday he received
dispatch notifying him that the thief
had been arrested It seems that Brett
Ter sold the horse and buggy to Mr..
Bruening of Milwaukee for $40, but as
the price was very cheap, Mr. B. thought
he would let the police know about it be-
fore the money was paid over, and the
officers Immediately made the arrest.

Notwithstanding the lack of interest to draw

The Democrats complain that their re-
bellion against the United States was a costly
piece of business. True; but they propose
strange plans for making the burden of debt
and taxation lighter. A large number of them
propose to apply the homeopathic principle in
hnance,I and to increase the debt bv way of
remedy. The President has declared that the
United States must assume the ante-war debt
OF the rebel States. The Democrats of Mary
land claim compensation for their slaves
Rebel Democrats everywhere insist upon the
validity of the war debt of the Confederacy
No Copperhea1 can deny that these doctrines
are widely prevalent among the members of
their party. President johnson insists upon
admitting the ten unreconstructed States to
representation in Congress, notwithstanding
they have refused to ratify the Constitutional
amendment forever postponing the payment of
the rebel debt; and in this course he is sus-
famed by large number of ex-patriots of his
own stripe throughout the country. tlg
But the homeopathic school does not embrace
all the financial doctors. Many of them are
eclectics, and all of them quacks. After ex-
hausting their vocabulary of vituperative
epithets in denouncing paper money, green
back shinplasters, Radical rags, Sc, &C., some
Of them are making the prairies howl with
their shrieks for more currency of the same

the legislation of the last six years is of no
legal force, and that the financial system de-
yised by it is as invalid as the rest of its crea-

carrying about SO much waste paper in their
pockets.
Lastly comes Judge Sharswood, of Pennsyl-
vania, with his followers, who declaim against
the constitutionality of the legal tender act. =
To humble students of finance there seems
little beauty in either of these schemes They

the Republicans to preserve the national credit
