How to do 1t.


What would be thought of sail.
or who would favor the destruction
of ship because q few barnaclee
cluDg to its bottom He would be
accounted crazy, and fit subject
for an asylum. Yet there are some
persons who favor the destruction OF
the Republican party because few
knaves have clung to its fortunes,
and have found a living under its
shadow. Can we believe them to be
sound in their judgment or safe in
their advice? We fear not.
Like the crazy sailor, the remedy
they propose is worse than the dis
ease.
1t is little singular that every
man who leaves his party thinks
that be was the last man of virtue in
it; and that his departure left it in
a worse plight than was Sodom OF
old. We assure our Democratic
friends that there is a good stock of
honesty still left in the Republican
party, and can spare few more of
just such men az went out under the
liberal flag, and still keep out of
moral bankruptcy. We are daily
purifying our party, bringing into
it the honest material that was acct
dentally left in the Democratic camp,
and by driving out the black sheep
from our own fold as soon as we are
sure of the color of the fleece. But
we are not prepared to destroy the
best political party the world has
yet seen to get rid of a few barna-
cles that have fastened upon it..
There is way to break their hold,
and that is to destroy them when.
ever we can get at them. We
should overhaul the good old ship at
every election, and remove with a
strong arm everythii g that tends to
impede its progress in tho great
work of human civilization. Our
party, from the beginning of it's
power, has been the great lever Of
reform. 1t has secured reforms in
cur Government which might we'll
have been the work Of century in
stead of the labor of less than a
score OF years. 1t has taken no step
backward. What it has gained it
has kept, and is continually improv-
ing. 1t has proven by its works
that it is something nobler than a
mere party it is the spirit of the
Republic working out through its
best representatives the great prob.
lem of self,government.

Murder Statistics.

In 1850 there were in this country
81 executions and 227 murders, in a
population of23, 1871 ,876;in 1860 there
were SO ex ecutions and $50 murders,
in a population of 81 ,443, 321, and in
1870 there were 81 executions, in a
population of 38, 1926, 498. When one
murderer in each ten was executed
there were only ten persons in a
million murdered. When we execut.
ed one murderer in every sixteen the
murders rose te thirty-one in mil
lion, and when we execute one MUIR
derer in every sixty-six the number
of murders was fifty-three in mil
lion, These figures show that the
smaller the proportion of the exc
cutions TO the number of murders,
the larger the proper ton Of the MUIR
ders to the population.

Wisconsin Press Anniversary.

The seventeenth annual Conven-
ton of the Wisconsin Editors and
Publishers Association will be held
in La Crosse on Tuesday, June IL
1873. As that will be- the 200th an
niversary of the discovery ofthe Up
per Mississippi, by explorers from st.
Lawrence, the occasion should be
honored by literary exercises of an
interesting and useful character; by
social festivities appropriate TO both
anniversaries ; and by supplementary
explorations among the larger tribu-
taries of the two great rivers of the
Continent. The Address will be de-
livered by Col. ~E. A. Calkins, of the
Milwaukee Nel0s The Poem will be
read by Mr.. lie Roy Irons, of the
Columbus Republican. Well digested
and carefully prepared papers, upon
topics of special interest to the press,
or of general Importance, are solicited
frommembers of the Association, and.
if not too lengthy, should be read be-
fore the Convention; and published
with it's proceedings. Historical con-
tributions, bearing upon the rise, pro-
gress and development of any and all
localities or communities in the
Northwest, although comparatively
unimportant now, while verified by
so many witnesses of events thus re-
corded, will become valuable for fu-
ture reference, when the enterprisiDg
pioneers who led hither the march OF
civilization shall have passed away
Some of our former anniversaries
having been productive of substantial
benefits to the public, by judicious
and united advocacy of worthy OBJ
jects, which needed the vigorous CO.
operation of the Press, we should be
encouraged to make the forthcoming
anniversary one of memorable inter-
est, by marked attention to the neces.
stiles of the people in regard to our
domestic commerce., which, with its
rapid growth, demands every avail
able facility for transportation, and
the only relief from burdens that now
rest heavily upon the producers and
| consumers of this country.
Circulars will be mailed to mem
bers of the Association in the first
week of June, announcing pro-
gramme.

Stakes for Tomatoes.

Thomas Meoham, the horticulturist
Of Germantown, Pa, says he has for
several years noted the relative ad-
vantages of the different ways of cul>
tivating tomatoes, and he concluded
that the best practice to adopt is to
proceed as with Lima beans-th at is
set the stakes before the plants are
put out. These stakes need not be
over six feet high, and may be set
four feet apart each way. As the
plants grow, tie them up to the stakes
but that will not require over half
dozen times during the season
Twenty plants this way will yield as
much fruit as double the quantity on
any other plan, and in quality there
is no comparison.
The common field plan of leaving
tomatoes grow as they list, spreading
every where over the ground, may be,
as truck growers say it is, the way in
which the heaviest weight of fruit can
be had in proportion to the labor
spent; but in this way the fruit is
more acid But whatever plan is a.
dopted, do.not set the plants until the
soil is warm or they will be stunted
and time lost.

BACK PAY.

nothing has been heard of his back

made no noise ABOUT it.
(From the Baraboo Rspublie:)
We hear it rumored that Hon. J.
Allen Barber, of the Third District,
has taken the S., 00G back pay, which
by his vote, he declared he mad no
right to. Should such be the case
and for tho honor Of the State we
sincerely hope that it is not--the
press should be as quick to condemn
his acceptance oft, as they were to
give credit so those who acted more
consistently.

Attend the Primaries.

Inc secret OF good government Is
found in the close attention paid by
the people to it's interests. The best
system ever devised by human wis
dom is but little better than the worst
if 1t fails to receive the cordial sup~
port of the governed. To elect good
men to Office is one of the first con.
ditions of good government. to
strengthen them in their authority,
and encourage them in their endeav-
ors to promote the ubic welfare by
active cooperation on the partof the
people is no less esse initial and import.
ant. Wise men may be elected to
office, but they are powerless if the
people refuse that ready support and
cheerful obedience, which are the dis
tinctive characteristics of a strong
government. In republic like our
own, whore the people are the rec
ogniZed sovereigns, and tie highest
ruler is but the temporary servant of
the popular will, there can be no ex>
cuse for bad government. If it ex-
lists in any locality the cause is to be
found in the people themselves. They
delegate the control of their franchise
to few who make politics trade,
who buy and sell office, without re.
ference to principle, who care for q
party only so far as it yields them a
fair return in dollars and cents.
Where such practice prevails, bad
government is sure to be found Our
large cities are marked Illustrations
of this fatal tendency on the part OF
the respectable portion of the COM
munity, to leave the entire manipula.
ton and management of political af-
fairs in the hands of few trained
politicians. There must be radical
reform liz this direction or the evil
will becomea source of positive weak.
ness TO our form of Government.
To bring about reform, requires
simply, the exercise on the part of
the citizen of more watchfulness, not
at the ballOt-box alone, but also at
the primary meetings. The primary
or to,on meeting is the fountain head Of
good or bad government. fit expresses
the sentiments of all the people in q
certain district, good governm ent is
likely to follow, but if it speaks the
voice of what might be justly called
the demoraIized elements of society
bad government is the sequence.
The first step toward the publication
of politics must be taken by the peo-
Pile themselves. The intelligence hon.
esty, morality and patriotism of the
nation must be largely represented in
the conventions that delegate power
to few men. This will give us o
better class of officials everywhere
and make good government possible
even in our largest cities. The press
the pulpit, the school must be used as
levers to overthrow the prejudice
which now exists among the more in.
telIigent Of our people against parti.
cipation in political affairs. Every
citizen should be impressed with the
necessity of taking an active part in
the political affairs of the district in
which he lives. By this means we
shall have purer elections, better mer
elected, communities Of the republic
more faithfully guarded and sustai ~

Col. McKenzie's Late Raid after the
Kickapoos.

Washington dispatches have the
following in regard to Col. McKen-
zie's recent chase of Kickapoo and
other Mexican frontier thieves, and
their punishment, across the line:
Intelligence ola San Antoni, May
p, from Fort Clark, May 20, says
Mckenzie, commander Of the post,
started with the ostensibe design Of
making tour around the country,
but virtually TO cross the Rio Grande
river to hunt out the scourge Cf our
long-sufering frontier. He crossed
the river on the night of the 18th,
and went on his way, secretly and
silently, toward Santa Rosa, Mexico
60 miles from the border. AT Santa
Rosa mountains he encountered the
Kickapoos, so dreaded on the frontier,
while they were still in blissful ig-
norance of their imminent danger,
killing Is and capturing AZ, with
losses to himself of two men MORALLY
wounded The General is on his
way back to the post, where he will
receive the grateful and sincere
thanks of the frontier en- maSSe for
his prompt and effectual action in
our protection. Later intelligence
says Gen. McKen zie's command was
fired upon by the Mexicans on their
re- crossing the Rio Grande. The
people on the south side of the river
are wrought up to high pith of ex-
element. The Mexicans swore ven
geanco, and things look pOrtentious.
