Christmas and New Year at Spring Hill College

Editor Morning Star:
As many of the readers of the STAR would
like to know the occasions for spending
happy Christmas at Spring Hill College, per-
NIT space in your next issue to assure them
that on Christmas and New 1sar days, JUST
nast. the students of this college enjoyed
themselves to their fullest satisfaction.
Thirty Masses were said on Christmas day.
All the Catholic students received holy COM
munion from the hands of the Father Presi-
dent. at the o'clock Mass. The last Mass was
n High Mass sung in the happy voice of Father
Bandeouin, Vice President. At this Mass the
choir, lead by Professor Fred. Stutzer, filled
the church with melody most harmonious aud
and charming. Noticeable in the choir was
the sweet, thrilling, soft voice of Master A.
Deian, student. Master Dejan is a native of
New Orleans and although only about eleven
years of age, is a gifted songster and adds
much to the variety of the music.
At this Mass an eloquent sermon was deliv-
cred by Father De Carrie, S. J. The college
Fathers spared no labor to make the past
Christmas and New Year memorable in the
recollectious of the students, and to make
them perfectly happy in the enjoyment of rec
reation the most delightful. 1t is not safe to
saw. however, that in the enjoyment of SO
much pleasure, the least of those intelligent
students of Spring Hill College missed the
smiles and home joys of paternal affection.
Long life to the good and learned Fathers OF
Spring Hill College, and may God spare then
for the noble work of turning out good and
worthy men for "the battle of life" R.

Is it worth while that We jostle brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of ifea
Is it worth while that we jeer at each other
In blackuess of heart !-that We war to the knife!
God pity us all in pitiful strife.
God pity us all jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumphs we feel
When fellow goes down meath his load the heather
Pierced to the heart: words are keener than steel.
And mightier far for woe or for veal.
Were it not well, in this brief little journey
On over the isthnus down into the tide
We give him . FISH instead of a serpent
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in dust at his side
Look at the salutng each other;
Look at the herds, all at peace on the plain
Nan, and man only, makes war on his brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain;
Shamed by the beasts that 60 down on the plain.

Some poor fellow soldier down into the dust
God pity US ALL Time eft soon will tumble
All of us together like leaves in gust,
Humbled indeed down into the dust.

THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

The next Presidential election
comes in 1876, and the most import
ant political campaign before that
time will occur next fall. In No
vember next, the people Of Wiscon-
sin will be called upon to elect a
new Assembly, and one half Of the
members of the Senate. On the
result of that election hangs the
choice of United States Senator to
succeed Matt. II. Carpenter. tbs
of itself will give an interest to the
election greater than that of any
election since 1863. A new con-
gressional delegation is also to be
chosen, and in every district in the
State, the question of political SUI
premacy between the Republican
organization and the disorganized
elements of the opposition must be
fought out. Coming down to local
politics, in this county, all of the
County officers are to be chosen at
that time. The unprecedent vic
tory won by the Republican party
in 1872 over the Greedy Democracy
has been followed by a partial re-
action throughout the whole conn-
try, the first effects of which have
already been seen in Iowa, in Cali
fornia and in Wisconsin. The cam
paign of 1874 will be the first
general engagement in which the
strength of the old and the new
organizations will be tried, and it is
safe to say that its result will in a
great measure determine the issue
of the Presidential contest in the
following year. The people are
earnestly watching their representa-
tives in Congress, and it behooves
them to leave such a record, as will
bear the closest examination.-Osh-

The Grange and our COngressmen'

"About two months ago, the EX-
ecutiye Committee of the Wisconsin
sin State Grange Patrons OF Hus-
bandry, united in an address to the
Senators and Representatives in
Congress from Wisconsin urging
upon them the urgent necessity OF
improving the water communication
between the east and the west, and
more especially the Improvement OF
the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers and
of the Mississippi at its mouth. This
address was sent to the Wisconsin
Congressman and at the recent
meeting at GAINESVILLE, President
Cochrane read replies received from
Congressman Rusk and Senators
Howe and Carpenter. Matt. Car
penter said, Il have always done
all IN my power 10 secure tneSe eiuS'
and nothing has occurred to change
my conduct" Senator Howe re-
sponded: 81 am not likely to re-
lax those efforts now when | am
permitted to live to have the pro-
ducers of the west calling on me to

"My duty as a member OF Congress
and my interest as farmer compel
me to do what is in my power to
secure the Improvement of the Fox

AS the Reformers have entered

AS the Reformers have entered
into a contract with the people to
remedy all the grievances from
which they are suffering at the
hands of the railroads, aud to bring
about the millennium of transport
tation forthwith, the Republicans
in the Legislature have only to sit
still and see them do it. There is
certainly great temptation in the
circumstances of the case for the
Republicans to pursue that policy.
But behind these hypocritical pre-
tentions and fraudulent promises of
the pseudo-Reformers is the fact
that the people are suffering from
gross and crushing evils from which
they should have relief without de-
lay. The Republicans are in a
minority, and of course they can do
little; but whatever they can do
toward securing wise and effective
legislation on this subject, they
ought to do.

AS was to be expected, the sever

State are before the Legislature
asking donations from the public
Treasury. For years these institu-
tons drew from the Treasury annu-

no party having courage enough to
refuse their misunderstanding
that a efusal would incense the Cath

vote unitedly against the party re-

previous to the present, however,
dared to do their duty, and refused
t. grant the usual suDsi lies. Th,
Reform party, now in the ascend

unlawiuliy donate public money to
sectarian uses.

EXPLANATION WANTED.-Scna-
tor Potter on Saturday presented q
resolution asking Governor Taylor
to explain what is meant 10y refer
ence in his message to "obnoXious
features" of the Graham Liquor
Law, and what action he desires
touching the same. The Governor
having touched this subject so gin
gerly and equivocally, the Legisla-

legislating thereon, lest his Excel
lency may not approve; and Sena-
tor Potter's resolution asking the
Governor TO translate into plain
English his views, is made necessary.
We anticipate, however, that he will
deem it unwise, or unsafe for his
party, to commit himself more fully
than he has done to the LIQUOR in
tereSt, and that the Legislature will
be left to grope its way in the dark
to find the "obnoNious features" of
the law, and to apply the remedy
which the Governor hints at.

Pom the Madison Jou nal
THE LIONS SKIN FALLS.

The old fable-writer gave AT
amusing account of the creature
that wore lions skin and thereby
frightened the other animals, but
when it was encouraged to lift up
its voice over the effect produced
the skin fell and revealed an ass.
We are reminded of this by the
course of some Refolmers since
election. The Milwaukee NeeoS, for
instance, denied, we believe, that
the reform movement meant a re-
peal of the Graham law; now it
demands its repeal, as follows:
ain the platform adopted by the
late reform state convention held
in this city when the successful
state ticket was nominated, the fol-
lowing clause will be found:
That all enactments which usurp to the
state jurisdiction over private conscience, or
punish one citizen for the olenscs oi another,
are in conflict with the spirit vi Tree govern
ment.
This clause both in its language
and intent was aimed at what Is
known Us the Graham liquor law,
then as yet on the statute books OF
the state. The manifest purpose OF
the party in relation to that law,
clearly stated in this clause, no
doubt attracted to it a large body
Of voters, who saw that III this pur-
pose to vindicate the right OF pii-
vate conscience and the right also
of the personal liberty Of the sub
iect with no crime on his part, the
highest political duty of the citizen
was involved. THE PARTY NOT
ONLY THUS PLEDGED ITSELF
TO THE REPEAL OF THIS LAW
BUT IT MAY BE SAFELY AS
SUMED THAT TT OWES IT'S
SUCCESS TO THAT PLEDGE.
We have observed no decided
movement as yet on the part of the
legislature looking to the carrying
out of this pledge. Assemblyman
Richards of the sixth ward was
promptly on hand at the early open
ing Of the session with Bill for
the repeal, but beyond its reception,
we have no action touching the mat
ter 1t is u subject which cannot
safely be neglected, and as member
are already ingaged in discussing
propositions for adjournment, il
would seem that there was not
much more time to lose with refer
ence to this.
AS we have before remarked,
probably no issue more clearly en-
tered into the campaign of last fall,
than the repeal of this law, the re-
form convention clearly committing
itself in favor of such repeal. On
no subject have members been more
clearly instructed by their constitu-
ents, and while we have no reason
to doubt the purpose to observe
this instruction to the letter, ii Is
not the less fact that impotence
is being manifested at the delay
