and from Tomah to the ST. Croix River, by
the expenditure and judicious application OF
two-thirds OF the land grand of 1886, and hay
ing made an honest effort to construct
road from st. CroiX River to Lake superior,
the east link in this chain of roads comtem-
plated by that grant, and having already

ing taken care Of the lands and prevented
| trespasses upon them and continued TO treat
| them as still the property OF the State, and
the people of that section having located and
purchased Government lands at double the
usual Government prices in view of the grant,
and the building of roads, and having long
and patiently waited for such consumma-
| ton, it would DC unjust, liliberal and unfair
| to the State TO not seek TO diyest her of the
| title TO the remaining portion OF this grant,
even if Congress has the lega right, which We
deny and If necessary, insist that Con-
gress ought 90 pass a law at once, without
hesitation, renewing this portion of the grant
| to the State, that the title may be beyond any
| question and the road speedily completed
| Resolved, That orr state is most tavorably
situated in respect to water communication

eial Intercourse ought to be prudently guard

| in order to afford the speedest and cheapest
| means OF Interpretations of products in per
manent competition with railroad carriage.
| TO this end we congratulate the state upon
the generous assumption by the General Gov
eminent of the Fox and Wisconsin River inn
provement, that promises at an early day to
connect the Mississippi River and the great
| lakes aud ne must fully endorse the now
| well-established policy of the present admin
istration in keeping clear from the unnece--
sary obstruction of the navigation of the
Mississippi River, and we especially commend
that private enterprise, assisted by Govern
ment aid, which has resulted in the construc-
| ton OF the Sturgeon Bay canal, that ma
terially lessons the distance and obyiates the
! dangers of our lake navigation
Resolved, That the Republican party will
use all reasonable endeavors to so amend the

fixed salary for all state officers, and that all
fees and perquisies be paid into the public

IT is noticeable that the Demo-
cratic State Committee has not call
ed its State Convention in the name
OF Democracy, which indicates a
lively sense of the eternal fitness of
things, and is certainly nothing
more than a decent manifestation Of
respect for the people of Wisconsin,
But in New York they do things
differently. There Democracy stands
brayely up on its own legs, and cen
temptuously intimates to the Liber-
al Republicans that if they want to
come into the Democratic camp they
must cast aside the Liberal flag and
train under the banner of the De-
mocracy. We suppose, however,
that our Democracy thinks that
every little helps, and that if they
can make gains of here and there a
solitary Liberal, by denying its
name, it would be all the same in
the end. There is some hope Of
Democracy, moreover, when it gets
to point that it seeks to conceal
Its identify, but its exigencies must
nevertheless be very humiliatine to
IT. Besides, it will never succeed in
imposing itself upon the people.
however it may strive to hide its
face or otherwise disguise itself
Not bnt that it is to be commended
for hiding its face.

BISMARCK has ordered all the en-
igration agents out of Germany, ex-
cept such as can prove themselves
to be Frussian subjects. His OBJ
ject is to discourage emigration, but
we fail 10 see how he can accom-
plish it in this manner, nnless he
intends that every emigration agent
shall be in accord with the Prussian
Government, and shall labor to keep
people at home instead of sending
them to America. This may be his
design.

THE Lord Chief Justice of En-
gland INDUCED in a little boasting
the other day. GA bit of paper
he said, from this court would open
''the door of any convent or any
''place III England if we wanted a
witness" This is nothing. A 'sbit''
Of paper from an American Su-
preme Court can repeal a law, how
ever important it may be. The
whole tide of popular sentiment
may be strayed in its course, and
made to recoil by scrap of judici-
al paper. But, fortunately, the
Judges are not so absolute as the
courts. If they abuse their official
authority, the people can "bounce
them, and herein the British Judges
have the advantage of their Ameri-
can brethren.

Below we give the resolutions,
or Platform, adopted by the Repub-
Ecan State Convention, as setting
forth the principles of the party in
this State, and announcing its posi-
ton on the various questions of the
day. The Salary Grab, Credit Mo
bilier, and all other corruptions are
condemned in the strongest terms,
and their correction demanded. The
cause OF the farmers against the
railroads is ably and plainly es-
pOuSed and all needed reforms and
improvements are pledged the sup
port and cooperation of the party.
In minor respects the platform may
be found somewhat defective. 1t
may be too verbose; and some
matters, the Wisconsin River I'M
proVement for instance, may be
thought in this locality undesery-
ing the prominence given it. AS a
whole, however, and as the express
sion Of the party Of the entire
State, the resolutions will be found
highly acceptable. Here they are:
