The Uhlans, who are creating SO
much alarm in France by their raids
upon towns and villages, far ahead of
the line of march of the Prussian
army, also give rise to perplexing re-
ports as to the position of the German
forces. The Uhlans are light.cavalry.
of Asiatic origin, and were introduced
into the north of Europe along with
the colonies of Tartars who established
themselves in Poland and Lithuania.
The name is derived from a Tartar
word signifying brave" They are
mounted on light, active horses, and
are armed with sabre, lance, and latter
ly with pistols or carbines. The lance,
from six to seven feet long, is attached
to stout leather cord fastened to the
LETT shoulder, and passed rouad behind
the back, so as to allow it to be crouch
ed under the right arm. Immediately
below the point of the lance is attach
ed a strip of guady colored cloth, de-
signed by its Tutoring to frighten the
enemy horses. The early dress was
Turkish, and the regiments or ''polks"
were distinguished from each other by
red, green, blue, and yellow uniforms.
The Austrians and Prussians fist Dor,
rowed this kind Of light cavalry from
the Poles, and in 1884 Marshal SAKE
attempted to introduce the Uhlans in
to The French service, and "polk" OF
1000 men was organized, but it was
disbanded after the MaashaPs death
Russia, Prussia and Austria are the
only governments maintaining Uhlan
regiments, which are recruited from
Western Russia, Poland, and Galicia.

THE NOMINATION.

The Republicans of the Second Dis
trict Of Wisconsin have selected for
their standard bearer in the Congress
SIGNAL contest the Hon Gerry w. Ha-
zelton, of Columbia county. The nom
ination of Mr.. Hazelton was not reached
without struggle, and it was only on
SD ballot that the question was set
tied. The result was no doubt as sur
prising as it was gratifying to
Mr.. Hazelton and his friends,
for we believe it is generally un-
derstood that the claims of Columbia
county to this nomination were not ca
gerly nor immoderately pressed. The
nomination Of Mr.. liazelton appears to
give the most general satisfaction, and
it will be heartily Endorsed at the polls
in November.
Mr. Hazelton is no new man in pub
lie life, but will carry with him to
Congress the experience of many years
as public officer, having served one
term as Senator from Columbia county,
during which term he was elected
President of that body. He was for a
short time Collector of this district,
and at the present time is U. S. Dist.
Attorney for the eastern district of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Hazetoh has been a
jealous and devoted member of the
Republican party from his youth up,
and in every important election has
contributed largely of his time and
ability to the promotion and welfare of
the Republican party. As a speaker
Mr.. Hazelton has few super'ors; elo-
quent, logical and clear, he is very
winning in his manner, and convincing
in his arguments, and we look to see
him take front rank among bis fellow
members in the halls of Congress.
Along with the mass of the citizens
OF Jefferson county We share in the
general disappointment which is evinced
at this county not receiving this mark of
favor from the hands of the convention.
The assistance that Jefferson county
rendered to a certain quarter of the
district on several occasions, and the
promise that was SO strongly held out
that the favor would be reciprocated
this fall, led US into the full belief
that We were justly entitled to the nOmi-
nee this time, an expectation not at all
unreasonable under the circumstances.
But when Jefferson county presented
the sad spectacle Of house divided
against itself, IL strong contrast with
the other counties of the district, it was
apparent it would result in nothing else
than her discontinue. Let the blame
of our divisions rest where they will,
while they existed we could expect no
favors from the convention.

TEMPERANCE PoLrr1cA1, PtRrY.-

A1sNI LAs<hAstD ohhiiO2hh hA l.
At the State Temperance Convention,
held last week in Milwaukee, it was
very universally decided to organize
state Temperance Political party,
whose object shall be to secure the
repeal of all statutes authorizing the
sale of intoxicating drinks and the en-
actment of prohibitory law, which
shall effectually prevent such sale or
use thereof as a beverage, an d that no
candidate is to be voted for for any
Office, who is not pledged to carry out
these views.
We think this attempt of our tenn
perance reformers to mix up the cues
ton of temperance with that of poll
tics, is grave error, which will event
ually result in no go d to the cause of
prohibition, and must signally fail. in
its aims and purpose. The temperance
reform movement of itself we do not
object to, but on the contrary it has
our warmest sympathy, but it is clear
to our mind that it seeks the wrong
channel when it endeavors to engulph
itself in the pool Of politics. If this
mistaken zeal is persisted in it will
have tendency, no doubt, to allenaie
from the cause many strong and warm
advocates, who are now laboring zeal
ously, while the question is of legiti-
mate reform, without having ny aims
at political ACCOMPLISHMENT.

sion that his name was used without authority as
one Of the promised attractions OF the forthcoming

Duchesne and ourselves stood In the relation Of

sented In the presence OF witnesses dance at the

did not deem his services an equivalent for tho COM
