The Madison Democrat was started
as the central organ of the Dem ocrat
lc party. Its senior editor, when il
changed hands, was made Chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. Notwithstanding the materi-
al OF its foundation and superstruc-
ture is Democratic, it has lately tried
10 escape the odium that attaches to
! 5 party, by denouncing old Demo-
ta'ats as "bad smelling prejudices."
rrsris insult to the most powerful of its
CO. eorkers has produced very bitter
selling, and has reacted in exciting
sympathy for those assailed. This is
lainly shown i'll the appointment of
lon. (. b, Dean as Superintendent of
'>Lbic Property No man, not even
Geo. b. Smi h or Sat. Clark, has been
more consistent, out spoken Demo
rat than the new arpontee. Gen.
Smith could say of him as he did of
another old friend, after election: "Mr.
Taylor is Democrat, par excellence,
dyed in the wool, = tried in the fiery
furnace of tanatical persecution, he
has forght by my side in the darkest
times"
Superintendent Dean is entitled to
the distinction of standing side by side
with Gen. George 3. Smith, who
was SAID by the Chicago Times to be
on ''the TUT end of the tail of the Bour.
bon rump." Which projects out the
farthest in the tuft we leave the Times
TO decide
The Democrat has found its path of
hostility to the "putrids very rock
ely" and growing worse each step it
took and, on the appointment of a
man as Superintendent. who is defined
as "pntrld "reminiscences" it faces
square about, in the following para

Superintendent Of Public Property was ended
yesterday by the appointment of Hon. E. b.

Senator Carpenter on Salary Repeal

| On the Salary Bill debate in th,
Senate on Tuesday of last week, Sen
ator Matt "a. Carpenter took hanc
and is thus reported:
Mr.. Carpenter said that, having
voted for the salary bill at the asst
session and intended now to vote for
It's repeal. he desired to say a few
words in explanation thereof. He
had practiced law for thirty five
years, and always made it O rule. af-
ter getting through with case to
render his bill to his client. If he
could not get his own price, he al
ways settled at the price of his client
and be proposed to act so with his
constituents He believed there as
but one way to get sound, honest
public servants, and that was to pay
| them q round price. The history of
our Constitutional Convention show
ed that it was not intended that there
should be uncompensated public ser.
wants in Congress. He believed 10.
day as he did when he voted for the
bill, and he thought that the country
was making a mistake in clamoring
for the repeal OF the bill. He had
voted conscientiously, and had seen
nothing to make him change his opin.
ion, He could see no reason now
why the bill should be repealed but
one, and that is the people demand
it. The theory to-day is, and it is a
very proper one, that the people
govern through their servants, and
as the govern ng power Of the coun.
try. the people have q right to do
what they please, wise or unwise-
If this bill should be submitted to the
people OF Wisconsin to day, it would
be repealed by a vote of FIVE to one.
He regarded himself as their agent
on the floor of the Senate, and should
cast vote which he believed the
people of Wisconsin would east, and
further he would vote to put the re-
peal back just as far as the constitur
ton would allow him. He would
vote with the gentleman from Indi-
ana (Pratt) to put the repeal back to
March 4, 1873. Ho would put ii
back to March 4, 1871, were it not
for the constitution. But Congress
bad no more power to put the re-
peal back to the latter date than they
had to repeal the law giving Andrew
jackson his salary as President
True, it could be repealed, but it
would affect nothing. The salary of
the last Congress is not in the iuris-
diction of this, but the salary of this
Congress is. He denied that Con-
gress had any right to pass a bill
making the salaries unequal, any
more than it bad the right to say the
Democrats should have $50 month |
and the Republicans 800. Congress
however, had the power to say that
Senators hereafter should receive so
much per month, making the aggre.
gate with that already drawn amount
TO S., 900 per annum.

~Jane G. Swisshelm is out with
q letter on the Chicago uprising, that
is permeated by q strong vein of
common sense. She thinks the bus
us, of government is not to pro-
vide work to a man, but to pro-
tect him in bis right to find workfor
himself. She adds:
"The price of pint of beer, plug
of tobacco, or a good cigar, would
buv a loaf of bread; and the men who
spend their earnings for beer, in sum.
mer. should not complain if left withs
ont bread in winter; neither have
they right to demand that those
who do without beer shall divide
their bread with them when the pinch
comes. No more mischievous rule
was ever adopted than that so COM
mon among our workingmen, viz
spending their wages as fast as they
get them. and making no provision
for sickness, old age. or lack OF en-
ployment; and that is false pru-
dence. e mistaken friendship, which

MAILING LETTERS.
Impor' ant Fs cts for the Public.

There are two facts of great i'm
portance to business men in connec-
ton with postal business
l. If all business men would use
the "return" stamped enveloped,
there would be scacely possibility
of letters being accidentally lost or
miscarried. Ii the letter should be
put in without any address at all, as
is frequently the case, it would be
Immediately returned to the sender,
if his card was printed on it; and
such q thing as detention for nonpay-
ment would be unknown. The gov
eminent envelope is as cheap as any
in the market, of the same quality,
and the card is printed without ad-
ditional charge.
Observations Of the lists of un-
mailable letters published in mum
Der Of leading cities, and estimates
based upon these show that there
are not less than $4,000 week OF
unavailable letters posted in the
United States-every one OF which

WISCONSIN ALMOST FREE FROM
DEBT We commented, last week, on
the fact that The aggregate Indebted
ness of the counties, cities, towns and
villages Of this State amounted, last
year, to s 81O,029, which is 2.68 per
cent. of the local valuation Since
then the indebtedness has been de-
creased considerably by the two last
tax levies, while very few new obh-
gations have been created. The as
sessmont given to the property of the
State, sst year, amounted TO $751;
TAI. 446; but according to the returns
of the census taken in 1870, the value
was found to be 1902 307 329 The
taxes levied throughout the State,
for all purposes, last year, amounted
to 81 1895, l3l-being twenty-three
mills on the dollar. We thus find
that 1Ua mills, on the true valuatiop,
is the per centage of taxation, in this
State. and that a tax of II mills
would wipe out every form of pub
lie indebtedness, in this State, IN 3

We publish IN another part Of this is
sue an article that must attract the at
tention Of State officials as noticing to
the public OF the southern States in par
ticular, and to those Of the Union in
general, a danger from which every lover
of the republic will shrink in alarm.
The foreign bondhOlders, who in Lon
don have formed a council for their mu-
tual protection, in a supreme effort to
protect themselves, have empowered an
agent Of theirs to arrange with Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Alabama
and Arkansas, to fund their outstanding
Indebtedness in a new series Of bonds
bearing four per cent. interest, which
interest the bondholders, as per this
agreement, may enforce by levy and
collection of taxes as well as a sum suf-
ficient to create 8 sinking fund. We
have no idea that any Of the States
named will enter into an arrangement
OF this sort. To do so would be to part
with a part of the sovereignty vested in
the Slate by the people, and to endan-
ger their liberties. Such a step would
Be contrary to the genius Of the coun-
try, and the spirit and intent Of the con-
stitutiOn OF the United States, and those
Of the several States which are averse
and opposed to ali foreign control. Talk
OF railroad mOnOpolies, and all that sort
OF thing, but this is the cap sheaf Of al,
We warn our Democratic brethren Of
the States named against this effort at
their subsection to foreign bondhOlders,
and trus they will make it q point to
contend against this invasion Of their
domain and their rights by an army Of
harpies travelling under the guise Of
southern boadh llders. No slavery to
foreign bOndholders for us.
