The Brewers Corruption Fund

1t is probably known to most of our
citizens that there is soon to bein Chicago
one of the seyerest political contests ever
known IN this country, on the question OF
closing gIog shop and beer saloons on
Sunday. A certain class ofGerman polit-
leans have given virtual notice that they
intend to carry the question to the polls
this Autumn, and. ie possible, vote down
the American Sabbath and establish the
German Sabbath in lieu thereof.
Both sides are preparing for the conflict
and no effort will be spared on the part
Of the saloon keepers to carry the day.
It it stated in the Chicago papers that the
Milwaukee brewers have offered pecuni-
airy aid to the saloon keepers in order to
carry the election.
The brewers hold that if grog shop and
beer saloons should be open on Sunday,
there would be much larger consump-
tion of beer on that day, as the people
will have the time and opportunity to get
drunk, and so they are directly interested
in abolisEing the American Sabbath.
The fund which the brewers have raised
for this purpose may be properly named
The Brewers Corruption Fund. !" A just
public sentiment is being aroused through
out the land against every form of cor
ruption and, therefore, we invite public
attention to this matter. as there is no
form of corruption so fearfully dangerous
in a Republic as the use Of money in
elections. Wisconsin

We have no desire to poach on Mr..
Groesbeck s preserves. 1t is the precious
privilege of Democratic statesmen now to
show that their party standard is in the
mud, and to point out to their demor-
allied followers where they are to seek
a new one And if we were inclined to
usurp this onerous office, we have no
reason to suppose we could do any better
than those who are dismally toiling at it.
If We were asked to say what the Demo-
crat can do to be saved-as separate
party-we should give it up. But since
all their own leaders are so emphatic in
advising them to do something that will
convince every one that they are not
Democrats, we may be allowed to suggest
one obvious and effective course 1t is to
join the Republicans.-N. T. Times.

A Prophecy of Political Decay.

W. s. Groesbeck. the great morul of
the Cincinnati Democracy, wrote letter
to New York friend IL. May last, which
was recently published in our columns,
in connection with his reply to the soli-
citations of Ohio Liberals to become their
candidate for Governor. That letter
wound up with the following desparing
view of the status of the Democratic
party:
am Democrat. but | should be very
glad to see the Democracy move out of
its old organization into new one. You
will not succeed unless they do. 1t NAV
be they will refuse, and prefer to tarry
where they are for the balance of the
century and until they can fix the mean.
ing of the.resolutions of 90. Ifso. 7
suppose | shall tarry with them. After
all, ike them and I like the old political
homestead. confess it is somewhat di-
lapidated. There are no banners upon
its walls, and victorious shoutinps are no
longer heard within; but it is home still
and | shall not leave it until it is pulled
down.
That is what We should call a very
brief but comprehensive funeral oration
over the corpse of the Democratic party.
1t is plain that Groesbeck, much as he
loves Democracy, cannot shut his eyes to

1t is now understood that the military
court martial in Oregon, summoned to
try the Modoc captives. have rendered
verdict that they should be shot, and it
Is probable that the government at Wash
ington will approve the verdict. At first
it was supposed that the Comm issioners
would decide that the Modocs should
be hung. That sentence would have
appeared little too harsh. and now the
Government may accept the compromise
sentence of executing the Indians in a
mode the least humiliating to savage
pride.

To Patrons.

WORTHY PATRONS 1t has recently
come to the notice of the State Grange
that certain movements are being made
to commit the Order to a direct line of
political action during the coming State
elections. A convention has been called
by what purports to be the Dodge Co..
Council of Oranges, to meet in Milwau-
kee ON the 21st of August, ayowedly for
political purposes. The State Grange
considers this action very unwise, and
counsels al true patrons to beware of the
Vaccinations of those who desire to thus
violate one of the fundamental principles
OF the Order by casting us into the tur-
mol of political strife.
We hereby caution all Oranges against
taking any notice whatever of the ''call'
aforementioned, as it is entirely unau-
thorized by any proper authority. Per
order.
Fraternally yours,
JAMES BRAINERD, Sec. State Grange.
