inmates of the house until the buildinr

will be recollected, was intensely cold, and
the members of the family that escaped
from the fire came near losing their lives
by the frost, while with little or no clothinr
on their persons, they sought refuge in tho
nearest neighbor's house. Mr.. Foy lived

In voting for the repeal of the Salary
Bill, Matt Carpenter arose to explain. and
in a way that was cunning, smiling and
bland: He had practiced law for thirty
years, and always made it rule, (except
when he got $1,000 for simply writing his
name to q receipt, which will be found re-
corded in the great Salary Grab Speech of
the senator), after getting through with a
case to render his bill to his client. If he
could not get his own price he a1soays settled 4
at the price of his client. X The theory
Of to-day, and very popular one, is that.
the people govern through their servants.
and as the governing power Of this country
the people have right to do as they please,
wise or unwise. If the bill should be SUBJ
mitted to the people Of Wisconsin to-day, it
would be repealed by vote of five to one.
He regarded himself as their agent on the
toor of the Senate, and should cast the vote
which he believed the people of Wisconsin.
would cast. Wonder whose agent he con-
sidered himself when he voted the stsalarv.
grab, back pay" and all. It is rather a
strange "theory" that has got such a pop-
ular hold Of men, "that the people govern"
but stranger yet it is more than theory, it,.
has come to be Gods eternal truth. and
woe be to the man who puts this truth be-
hind him.
We clip the following from the h.du.tr;az
Age Of Chicago. by all odds the ablest anti
monopoly paper to-day published
'THE GRANGE ADVANCE" published At
Red Wing, Minnesota, is a very valuable
and interesting paper. We read each num-
Der with pleasure. The last number is an
unusually good one. It has most excel
lent speech from Ignatius Donnelly, and
another BY E. J. Hodgsop, before the Good
hue County Council. ~
The Grange Advance has new head,
neat and appropriate one. Another i'm
provement is noted in the fact that now one
can tell who its editors are. The editors
need not be ashamed Of their work as il is
we'll done.-Pierce Co. Herald ~
