Letter from Hon. Daniel Hall
Editor RepubhcGp

Editor Republican
The case OF Rees rs TIE city of Ratertown
recently argued before the United States
CiFcuit Court at La Crosse, was suit in
Eqni:y, to compel :he payment of a Judge.
ment against US for $ll,066 SO. The bill
AYERS thai all legal remedies had been ex-
nansfeo TO collect, without Success, and
that the Marshal may be ordered to seize
aud sell property here sufficient t 0 sat isfy it
To this we filed a general Demurrer. We
denied the power of the Court, under any
circums' ances, TO do what was asked. Our
city charter exemp.s 81! private property
from seizure, or sale on execution from any
court.
The main argument of Mr.. Rees' counsel
was that The Court could not levy tax to
make payment; that this would be to ex-
ecute state laws and perform the dnties of
state officers that it must take and sell any
mans property, if judgment was to be en-
forced
This Judge Drummond most emphatically
rejected. lie said if collected at all, the
amount due must be distributed like a tax
pro rata, rPen all the property of the city,
After bearing the arguments in annonnc-
ing the session, he said The Court over
ruled tA-- Demurrer for the reason that. fit
49,. oil ~
exhaust all legal remedies, and fa led to
collect lis judgement, he thought he m light
90 in'4 Court of Equity and obtain relief;
other= -, it would seem as if we did not
live IN > country governed by la W. He
also ssS. shey overruled it for another reason
viz tast we might answer and set up the
same d:sace, and all our defences, and
when i! the facts were before them, they
would finally dispose of the case. That
they seeded nothing now. That there were
questions Involved which he had not yet
been as'e to determine in his own mind
He further stated that he had bad great
experience in matters of this kind. and that
where there was a united sentiment in any
community against the payment of such
judgments, their collection was impossible;
that there was power in q unanimous pub,
lie opinion in this country beyond the abl-
ity of any Court to overcome; that it was
obvious that the city of Watertown could
not pay its debt in full, and it was for the
interest of all parties to compromise it,
He also said that there was little or per
haps no law authorities or precedents for
their decision overruling the Demurrer, but
II there was no law against it, when all le-
gal remedies failed, it was his opinion that
complainant ought to have equta bic redress.
The Court gave ample time 10 answer.
and the case will probably stand for trial at
the next June term, to be held at Madison.
Until then, do not understand that auy-
thing is settled for or against us.
have endeavored to give the exact posi-
ton taken by the Court. To give, from
recollection, the precise language would be
impossible, as Judge Dr1mmond spoke at
considerable length upon the question to
which he had given a good DEAL of attention.
Respectfully Yours, d. HALL.

The American Washer Saves Money.
Time, and Drudgery.
The Fatigue Of Washing Day no
Longer Dreaded, but Economy, Eff
cheney, and Clean Clothing, Sure.
In calling public attention to this little
machine, a few of the invaluable qualities,
mot possessed by any other washing ma
chine yet invented are here enumerated.
1t the smallest, most compact, most port.
able, mo simple in construction. most cas-
lily operated. child ten years old, with
few hours practice, can thoroughly compre-
bend and effectually use ii. There is no ad-
justing, no screws to annoy, no delay in
adapting! 1t is always ready for nse / 1t
is perfect little wonderl 1t is minute
giant, doing more work and of better
quality, than the most elaborate and costly.
Ono-haIf of the labor is fully saved by It's
use, and the clothes will last one half longer
than by the old plan of the rub board. Ii
will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts
at time, washing thoroughly Ina word,
the ablution Of any fabric from Quilt to a
Lace Curtain or Cambria Handkerchief, are
equally within the capacity of this LITTLE
GEM 1t can be fastened to any tub and
taken off at will.
Nomatter how deep rooted a prejudice
may exist against Washing Machines, the
moment this little machine is seen to per-
form its wonders all doubts Ct its cleansing
efficiency and utility are bani shed, and ths
doubter and detractor at once become III
fast friends OF the machine.
We have testimonial without end, setting
forth Its numerous advantages over all 9TH
ers, and from hundreds who have thrown
aside the nnwieldy, useless machines, which
have signaly failed to accomplish the OBJ
ject promised in prominent and loud sound
ing advertisements.
1t is as perfect for washing as wringer
is for wringing. The price, another para
mount inducemert to purchasers, has been
placed so low that it is within the reach OF
every housekeeper, and there is no article of
domestic economy that will repay the small
investment SO soon.
