The Real and Only Issue.

There are in reality but two issues
before the people. They are, wheth
er the party in power has been sc
derelict to lis great trust that i
ought not to be retained, or whether
the party in opposition has made fol
itself, in or out of power, so excellent
a record that it should again receive
tho public confidence. All other is.
sues are but details of administration
questions of policy TO be settled with
10 one or both of organized party
lines Economic theories are the
work of theorists and schools. Par
ties are modified and Influenced, bu,
not organized on them. Those that
are now marching to the front are
powerfully influencing both parties,
but they will. divide neither. The
real issue is, which of these two polit-
icsl organizations can be most fairly
trusted. 1t must be one or the other
Colonel VIM. Grosvenor, of ST. Louis
by many regarded as the inspiring
brain of the Liberal" movement, a.
first indicated and before it commit
ted hdri-kari by the nomination of
Mr.. Greeley, said 10 substance year
ago that as an original Republican,
whenever he saw that the issue wac
one between the general record of
the two old parties, be shouli be as
before, a Republican in earnestness
of spirit. Colonel Grosvenor ouly
expressed what the sincere men OF
the so,called Liberal movement all
feel. There is nothing in any one of
the pretenses at reform put forth by
the Democracy but the most abject
and craving lust of power. Their
whole career in opposition presents q
striking series of proof.
1t is Democracy that has bindered
Southern restoration and progress
The opposition to emancipation came
from that source. From that source
was the antagonism that hindered
enfranchisement 1t was Democrat
ic friendship for sectional politics
that formed the KukIux into horrIhl4
reality. 1t is their continued hatred
of national ideas based upon the civic
equality of all that has fomented the
race issue and organized the iniqui-
tous "White Leagues. F"
Whatever may be the derelictions
of the party in power there can be
but one choice among all those who
prefer the rule of civil liberty to class
and race expressions and inequalities;
who desire q national rather than
sectional spirit controlling the Gov
ernment who want Legislation to be
unmarred by cunningly devised at
tempts at multiplying those ordinances
of freedom which are the result of
our struggles and sacrifices who de-
sire to see protection accorded to the
humblest; who oppose civic serfdom
as they did chattel slavery who
want progress the rule and education
as broad aud free DO tho oogi, of tho
Union-we say that with such issues
there can be but one choice for the
people who desire peace and liberty
as regulated by law and provided
for in the Constitution.

PASTORAL VISITS. The Chicago
Tribune referring to the discussion 60
inc on as to the propriety of pastoral
visits, in the light ofthe Beecher-scan-
dsl, makes the following suggestions ::
"The pastoral visit should not induce
a desire to step down and out. 1.
should not produce hypochondria or
caves of gloom. 1t should not be so
destructive that the minister signs IN
vain to rebuild what has been shatter-
ed. 1t should not be 50 frequent or
prolonged that the woman's husband
would have been a better man than
the minister if he had been in his place
It should not conslgn the minister to
the ragged edge Of remorse or any
other ragged edge. 1t should not
make him bound and rebound. 1t
should not make him humble himself
before the woman's husband as before
his God. 1t should not necessltate a
mutual friend. 1t should not have any
appearances that will give rise to q law
snit. These are some of the tempta>
tons which have been shown to grow
ont of pastoral visitations, and If the
Methodist ministers have decided to
continue them aud do not really know,
as they say, what the temptations are
we suggest the above as rocks they
would do well to avoid"

Wisconsin Railroads.

The Wisconsin railroad companies
have surrendered Internationally to
the statute regulating their rates. A
Madison dispatch contains the fol-
lowing information in this regard j:
In compliance with the Potter law
in wisconsin, the Chicago & North
western, Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul, and all the Wisconsin State
roads to-day issue new passenger and
freight tariffs. The State Commits
sioners having given their figures
some time since, no repetition is now
necessary. At the meeting of the
Commissioners of the several North
western States at Madison, on yester-
day, the following resolution was
adopted as the proper rule for the
construction of the Potter law in
charging passenger fare where there
are fractions of mile between sta
tions That the Commissioners in
terpret chapter 273, to require as the
rate OF fare the exact product OF the
number of miles multiplied by the
rate per mile shall be the maximum
amount charged in each case but
that 10 case of fractional miles, the
traction may be counted as unit.

is no more an offense to move from
Indiana TO Louisiana than for south
erners to move north.
A new party has arisen, calling
themselves Independents, which is
attempting to establish itself upon
questions of transportation and other
similar questions. They say both OF
the old parties are corrupt, but they
intend bringing pure party. Now,
as all our people belong 10 one party
or the other, and if both are totally
corrupt, how can a third party make
of itself pure party? Can you
make pure thing out of two corrupt
things? Two negatives make an af-
lirmative; can two parties make a
pure party +? They claim further that
they will defeat these old parties.
They cannot defeat the Democratic
party, for that is already defeated. If
you defeat the Republican party.
what do you destroy? The party of
progress; the party which has saved
the Union, and the party which is
willing to be progressive. Take the
transportation question; who has sug
gested an Improvement in this direc
ton save the Republican party?
He then reviewed at length the
work of Congress upon this subject,
maintaining the right of Congress to
regulate the commerce between the
States. Shall Congress, having the
right, assert that right? Il is pla My
its duty to do SO, and thus far the Re
publican party alone has striven to de-
wise means by which transportation
can be cheapened and improved, and
the Democrats in Congress nearly
unanimously opposed them. Will
you leave the Republican party to
seek your remedy? But our Demo
cratic brothers say that the Republic
can party is SO corrupt, and the indie
pendents join in. Now | do not de-
ny that there are corrupt men in the
Republican party. There never was
an organization where corrupt men
did not creep in. Christ found a cor>-
rupt man among His twelve disciples.
There are corrupt men in every or
ganization, and even in the church,
the great civilizer of the world. The
thieves must 60 somewhere, and it is
not surprising that some of them
should get into the Republican party.
But | could point out two dishonest
officials in the Democratic party to
every one in the Republican party.
/ could point out two frauds in the
Democratic administration to one in
that of the Republican party. He
then referred to the frauds which oc-
Cured under Buchanan and other
Democratic administrations. Have
you forgotten these? Will you turn
away from party which has saved
the country, and take up with those
who never exposed the offenses of
their own officials, as the Republicans
have constantly done, but robbed and
buried up men? They complain, too,
of hard times Were there never hard
times under Democratic administra-
ton? Have you forgotten 1887 and
1857?
The speaker then compared the
two parties for equal lengths of time,
asksd his hearers to weigh well the
questions that lay before them, and,
finding the path of duty, follow it
fearlessly.

Lawler that, since he had passed one
car over on flatboat, ne might pos
sioly construct a floating bridge and
run train of cars over it. He tried
the experiment, and even those who
for long time insisted it was chin
erical, now acknowledge its complete
success, and say that it is destined
to work little revolution in the con-
struction of railway bridges over
streams, whenever circumstances
will permit the construction of one
like that at Prairie du CHEN.

Special Pleading-Anyth1ng to Beat
Magoon.

From the Monroe Sentinel
Some OF the Democratic organs 10
this CougressioDa al District, have nee
essarlly resorted to peculiar lodges
TO support their reformed candidate
Mr.. G. f. Thompson for Congress.
There are few men in each neigh
borhood who parrot-like will be
croaking the same pleas, thoughtless-
ly presuming that the people gener-
ally are to be duped by the continu-
al sounding of sentences which have
no meaning. They are in substance
about as follows:
The sun rises in the east and sets
in the west: therefore, vote for
Thompson for Congress.
God created the Universe and set
the worlds in motion, and they con-
tinue in their orbits, revolving daily
on their axis, around some central
sun, and again, these are supposed to
revoIve around some other grand
central sun, and for these reasons,
if 20 other, every honest man should
vote for Thompson for Congress.
We want free banking and free
trade, says Democrat, therefore we
must vote for Thompson.
A high tariff reformer-of the
Greeley school-tavors protection
and specie payment, therefore votes
for Thompson.
Here is strict Methodist, who
| an ur Iha rIa,, IN I'm nnn foranoa waoapt
ly held in Brodhead, aud supposiug
that he took sHch an active interest
in the exercises, will vote for Thomp-
son.
Another will shout, the Potter
Law has been declared constitutional
therefore vote for Thompson.
A temperance man who knows
that Charley is Vice-President OF q
temperance organization in Brod-
head, will vote for him, of course.
A clever German says he will vote
for him because he saw hin drink
ing beer with the Germans at Turn
er Hall last Friday night.
We want the Fox and Wisconsin
River improved, and cheap water
communication to the markets OF Tbs
world we want the Sugar River
Valley Railroad built with township
aid, therefore vote for Thompson.
The circumference of a sphere il
three times the diameter thereof
Consequently we should all go TO
Thompson.
Large bodies move slowly, except
ing when they run for Congress-
, then they get around lively, an
, therefore, if for no other reason
Thompson is a good man to send t
Congress,
These are some of the reasons ths
I may be given for sending MI
, Thompson to Congress. Of cours
! they are not very substantial or pei
I tinent to the case, but they are tn
r best offered so far.
