How Granger Got Swindled on
Sewing Machines.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
At the general Office Of some Of the
sewing machine agencies of this city,
it had for some time been known that
the Grange Head Center had been fur
nishing the wares which they deal in
at greatly reduced price. How this
was done remained for long
period mystery. But at last, Mr.. Geo.
E. Treat, general agent of the Wheel
er & Wilson Company, got the rights
of it. An agent in the southern part
of the state was called upon to repair
a machine of the make for which he
was operating. Very naturally he in
quired of whom it was purchased, but
was put off with an evasive answer,
which inc ensed him and he went away
without doing the work. Mr.. Treat
sent him back, enjoining upon him to
examine the numbers Of the machine
in question, there being always two
one cast in the iron, tho other on the
plate. Upon examination it was found
that they did not correspond, thus
showing thatth was fraud. It devel
oped itself atlast that the party bought
the machine of the Grange Head Cen
ter at Oshkosh, who had manifesty been
bamboozled into purchasing and sci
ling for new machines, some second
handed ones revamped In this particu,
lar instance the mum Ger indicated it to
be about eight years old.

e. q. Ryan and Gov. Taylor.

To those who know g ", Taylor, the
appointment of E. G.. Ryan as Chief
Justice Of. the Supreme Court, is not a
puzzle. During the great rebellion, as
we have been infor.Sed, VIM. r. Tay-
lor, the present Reform Democratic
Governor, was tinged with secession and
rebellious proclivities. Mr.. Ryan WAS
known, far and wide, to be the spromi.
nent Democratic politician Of this State
who took vehement grounes agains st
the prosecution of the war to put
down the Southern rebellion. Mr.. Ryan
then made his notable speech of that
side of the question, which was extens-
lively circulated among the Democracy
of the State. VIM. r.. Taylor drank
deeply from the milk of that cocoanut,
and when he came to re read Ryan's
speech on Monday night, the 18th in
slant, he naturally exclaimed, s'That's
the man for me; them's my sentiments"
and thereupon he nominated him for
Chief Justice.
The News tries to prove Mr.. Ryan's
selection a non-partisan act, but in
truth it is as strictly partisan APP
pointment as was ever made in this
state. Gov. Taylor has a right to hold
fast to hisJold secession doctrines, but
it is very petty in his "bread and but
ter" organ to announce as a non-parti-
san appointment his choice of T.. G..
RJan.-Mlwaukee Wisconsin.

Now that after years of labor and
millions of expense, the Hoosac tunnel
has been built, the Massachusetts, Leg
islature is in a great and prolonged
stew to know what to do whit. There
it is, making the shortest practicable
railroad line between Boston and the
West, and its usefulness deferred by
she chickering's of members, and the
lobbying of antagonistic railroads
themselves, It takes the Massachu-
sets Legislature long time to de-
eide on any important matter. At
tho shortest calculation it takes two
weeks to elect a senator. The Hoosac
tunnel has been dragging along for
months, and there is no telling when it
will end.

A CONDUCTOR of the West Wisconsin,
railroad having been arrested and fined
at Hammond, st. Croix County, for
violating the law, that company re.
tsliates by running its trains through
Che town without stopping. This is a
violation of the law about whose con.
ssisutionality there is no question, and
II persisted in, should result in the
forfeiture of the company's charter in
Che shortest possible time.

THE Society of the Dunkards hold
70 the Scriptural rule to "greet one an
other with holy kiss But during
the past few years there has been quite
a large accession of colored members
to their organizations. This gives rise
to difficulty on the kissing question.
1t is, Of course, claimed that there
ought to be no distinction made "on
account Of race, color or previous con.
dition servitude;" but it seems that
even the Dunkards have not all been
educated up to the standard Of per-
feet equality in regard to kissing. The
subject was discussed at recent Con.
ference held in Illinois, at which 500
preachers were present. The confer
ence, after worrying over the subject
several days, finally adopted the Lo-
cal Option rule, allowing each partic.
ular Church to do as they pleased
about the kissing Of colored members.

THE Portage Register thinks now is
good time to republish the railroad
plank in the last Republican platform
Of this state, to show what would have
been done had 1.-The Republicans been
successful. The resolution is as follows.
Resolved, That the subject of cheap
and reasonable rates Of transporta ton
has become of pressing Importance to
the great body Of our people, both
East and West, and to the producer
and consumer, and that it is necessary
that some proper legislative measures
should be speedily adopted to secure
relief and protection against the greed
and oppression of grasping monopolies;
we earnestly recommend what has been
already urged in two annual messages
Of tho present executive, the creation
of a board of railroad control, whose
duty it should be to examine the whole
subject of transportation and freights,
and report the facts in relation thereto,
and prescribe and adjust such relations
Is viii be fair and equitable both to
che people and the railroad companies

For the smyrna Times"
Mixed Schools.

Isaw, few days ago. hand bill posted on
. door of a certain building in town headed
nsmocratic Club, and inviting all persons
v;thout previous party connections and opposed
10 mired schools to form themselves into club
for the campaign.
Being opposed to mixed schools myself, and
knowing that the Republican Party is opposed
20 them, and also knowing that the colored
people of this State are opposed to them, the
inquiry is, who are in favor of them? We
snswer most emphatically that the Demo
Of them. And why do we answer this2 Let
the truth be heard. Did not the colored
psople Of the State importune the Legisa-
ture az its last two sessions for a law taxing
them for q school fund to be set apart for their
ovn special benefit 80 that they might have
schools Of their own. And did they not tell our
wise Democrat law makers that they did not
desire or want their children to mix with the
white children in our public schools2 Did
our Legislature pass an act for their benefit
Do not the colored people have a right by law
to 20 into the public schOOls2 Did not our
Democratic Legislature know that they had the
right2 and knowing that they had, why did
they not (if they are so much opposed to
mixed schoOlsl do something to prevent it
when they had an opportunity to do so? The
AusNCt 10 oimpy SuhSf AohO ehSh AAsulO oOto
prove it), that they as o majority are able to
pay for their children education and that they
do not care for the poor white man child.
They thought that by refusing to do anything
with it, that, eventually, the colored men
would be forced to send their children to the
public schools and the result would be break
Ing up of our common school system, and this
is lust what they want They want our poor
people to grow up in ignorance. They do not
want them educated for they know that as soon
MS they 20 to work and educate the masses
that their future power and influence COM
mences waning. Talk about mixed schools
they as party being opposed to them when
their very acts deny it.
Oh, for shsmel to think that men will try
90 hard to deceive. Why don't they come out
fair and square and meet the issues that ale al
stake like men? White men-Po0r men Of
Delaware let me appeal to you'll Your inter
ests are at stake, your rights and privileges are
10 danger from the hands of these deceivers
They have deceived you long enough by the CRY
of mixed schools and nigger equality. Dom
be imposed on longer, but show them on the
81 day of November that you intend to be free
aid thennly way to do it is by voting th'
straight Republican ticket through.
Tho Republican Party is opposed to mixed
schools and the Democratic Party have shown !
their actions that they aIe in favor of mixe'
school III is is emphatic and positive, and an,
honest thinking, reading, knowing man canno
successfully deny it. X.
