The Situation.

A Recent number of the New

litical situation as follows: 4" AS the
result of comprehensive survey Of
the field. now that the lines of bat.
tie are forming with sufficient dis
tinctness to admit of safe conclu-
sions, we find that the Republican
party is still in an advantageous DO
sition. 1t has done nothing to for.

that enables it to deal with those of

Mississippi, as in Ohio and other
States where it has spoken, it has
pointed with pride TO its achieve

LANCASTER Sept. 4, 1S73.-The
Committee on resolutions presented
the following which we're adopted by
the Council:
LIST, We demand less and better legislation
ID, We demand more rigid economy in
| the administration of public affairs.
Sd, We demand more honesty in high Off
cis positions.
4th, We demand the abolition of the host
Of useless officers, the reduction of taxation,
and q reduction of the salaries of all public
officers, believing that, until the public debt
salaries of our public servants should be more
proporuonate 10 the rewards OF labor in pri-
vate life.
5ih, That agriculture is the basis of
wealth and power; that other branches of
business depend on The success of the farmers;
therefore, we believe that the farmer should
fairly represented in every branch of our
Government, legislative, judi cial. and exeeu-
tive, and that we pledge ourselves 10 support
r. -. int afmd IN he
peri.y of the farmer, and none other.
9TH. We recognize the great benefits to be
derived from railroads in the transportation
OF freight and passengers in developing sec
tons Of country that would be almost useless
without them, vet they deny the power that
gave them legal existence, but that they are
subject to legislation, -as much so as indvid-
uAls.

and denounce them as contrary 10 the spirit
aud genius Of our institutions, subversive of
the rights and liberties of a free people, all
tending directly to create and foster aris-
tocracy Of wealth aud a Capitalization of
money-power in the hands of the wealthy
few, completely oVershadowing and corrupt
ing our legislative bodies, State and National,
thereby placing the people under the control |
Of the money-power.
sth, We are in favor Of tariff for revsn- |

legislation.
ON, The alarming condition, financially, |
Of the affairs OF the people, both public and /

The GRAHAM LIQUOR LAW TO BE
ENFORCED IN MILWAUKEE,. - The
Milwaukee papers publish a procla-
nation from Harrison Ludington,
Mayor of that city, giving notice to
liquor selIars that they will have to
give bonds in accordance with the
provisions of the "Graham Liquor"
law, and calling attention to the fact
that for every violation of the law
they are liable to fine or imprison-
ment He says:
"The SnnrRme Court ut -the -Stejf
Of the act of the Legislature entitled
AN act TO provide against the evils
resulting from the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors., approved March 20,
1872, and having determined every
license issued without exacting the
bond required by that act to be void
the duty devolves upon me TO give
notice to every person now engaged,
or desiring to engage, in the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors within the city
of Milwaukee, that by the mandate
of the act aforesaid, it is unlawful for
any person to sell intoxicating liqors
without first having given bond, as
provided In the first section of the
act, and obtaining a license so to sell,
as required by law"
In view of this announcement of
the enforcement Of law heretofore
treated in Milwaukee as dead let
ter, the Wisconsin says:
The halIucination under which
many of our saloons have been labor
ing for some time past, and by which
they saw Milwaukee in the same re.

Of Columbia is to the United States,

RAILROAD REFoRM.-Hon. Amasa
Walker addressed the Boston Grange
on Tuesday last. He said he had
considered the great question of rail
road reform, and felt it his duty to
come forward and do what he could
to reform this monopoly, and presen-
ted the rates of freighton the different
roads. He considered it nation
al question, and said it should be the
business ofCoDgress to interfere and
protect the business interests of the
country. He spoke of three ways
in which the great object could be
attaiHed-first by general law fix
ing the rate of travel and freight on
all roads in the country; second, to
create new lines between the princi.
pal depots as transportation, and,
third, by purchasing all roads and
PLACING them under Government
management to be leased. which
would open all roads to the public at
the cheapest Rates. He reviewed
the different plans, aud thought the
last would be tho most feasible. He
considered the question Of railroad
reform national question, which
would bece me political one, and
can only be achieved by political
action.

The STATE UNIvERsITY.-The State
University opens with the largest
number of applicants for the regular
classes ever known, and attendance
SO large at the opening exercise that
the ohapels are decidedly inadequate.
Every college class has accessions.
while the Freshman class bids fair
TO count over one hundred members.
A noticeable feature is the fact that
large portion of the new students
are taking their place in regular
classes-the number of irregular and
preparatory showing a steady de.
crease. This shows the wisdom of
the Faculty in raising the standard
of admission, until the University
of Wisconsin stands as high in its
demands as any Eastern institution.
A new optional course has been es-
tabIished TO meet a popular demand.
1t is the same as the classical, with
the exception of Greek, which is
wholly omitted, and the time which
would be devoted to it is given TO
modern languages. 1t is believed
that this course will prove decidedly
popular with students who wish to
have all their college culture such as
to be directly available hereafter.
Greek is being dropped from the
course in several leading colleges
The University of London, at its lat
Presentation, conferred A B. with

We owe an enormous foreign debt,
which increases ery year. The on
