GREAT EXCITEMENT AT MOUNT AIRY
1t appears that there is great excitement in
the city of Mount Airy on the license ques-
tion. At the late term of court, license was
refused to that metropolis, and consequently
all the hotels, saloons, billiard rooms, bowling
alleys, etc., are closed. This has seriously af
fected business in that city. The stores are
no longer patronized by the farmers, people
from the country no longer buy their lumber,
coal, clothing, ETC., In that place, the horse
cars have ceased to run, and even the jolly
miller is compelled to drive his mill by water.
except in the Summer time, when even that
article is exceedingly scarce in that locality
The Mayor and Common Council talk of re-
signing, and everything looks gloomy.
The last sad effect Of no-license in that city,
is the refusal to build school-house. !" No
license-no school house, y say the friends of
distilled rotten-apples and benzine- aquafortis,
and so last week they voted down a resolution
to build house in which their children may
be educated. The parents are now brought
to face the question whether new school
house is fair equivalent for the privilege of
establishing a place to make drunkards of
their own and their neighbors' children.

The Currency.

The convention held at Cleveland,
Ohio, on the 18th inst, and the action
taken in reference to change in oar
monetary system. has produced q
sensation among fnanciers and may
lead to some change in our monied
institutions, which by many is deem
ed desirable.
Greenbacks now furnish a large
share of our circulating medium and
are by very many more readily re
ceived than any other paper. The
United States are in fact the bankers
for the Union, and It's treasury he
great safety fund, which secures
our whole paper currency. The OBJ
iect ought for by the Cleveland con-
vention appears to be no; only 10
make the government Responsible TOT
the paper circulation, or currency,
bnt slso to be the fount from whence
Il shall ell issue, and thus to become
directly every mans banker. This
would undoubtedly increase conti>
dence in circulating medium, which
must be universally uniform in value
throughout the whole country and
perfectly sound while the govern
ment is solvent. The people them
selves would bear without murmur-
ing any necessary taxation to sustain
CORPORATION of which every one
were members and whose bankrupt
cv would involve universal ruin ard
disgrace.
Should the spirit and operation OF
the Cleveland convention 40 extend
itgelf, as to change the whole paper
exchange of our land into greens
backs, the effect might be beneficial
to ali classes. Such an operation
would of course throw great respon-
sibility upon the government, require
great financial talent in the Treasury
department and be attended with I'M
messe labor. The principles of q
sound Republican government insure
that responsibility. A sound cur
rency is essential to the prosperity
of any country, and the matter un'
der consideration is worthy of free
and full discussion as to it's feasibili.
ty, policy and effect.

The Democracy Ungrateful.

Ii seems that the Democrats who
a year Or two ago were so willing TO
make use Of the Liberal Republicans,
show . disposition to treat thoir allies
with neglec'. See how it was as
soon as tho Democrats came into
power in New York. Instead of re-
electing Gov. Fenton, the great Lib
sral leader, to the U. s. Senate, as
they had tho power to do, he hadn't
3 single supporter so too in Mis-
souri when the Democrats came into
power instead C returning Carl
Schurx, confeasediy tbs eble9t states
man in the Liberal ranks, to TIE U.
S. Seaa.o, c Democrat = hD had been
a Rebel Genera! uas sent instead.
Therefore Il is not unreasonable to
assume that the Democrats who
have climbed into power on 30
shoulders OF the Liberals sro -" ois-
posed to cast off thoir l~|o eli'es ana
90 It alone. The I,;'1rals are having
thei. erss opor.e and the better For-
t;on of,hs- arc coming back to the
R.n,,,cGn party, which, with all its
stakes, ia after ell the safest to be
trU6ted.

Wheat and Corn Crop of 1874.


The wheat crop of the United
States in 1874 was above the average
duced, amounting to 81, 100000
bushels, or 80, 100000 more than the
large crop of last year. But the val
ne at the prices paid the farmer, was
but 1928, $50. 095 o: $50 900, 900 less
than in 1873. The average price per
bushel was so 944, against 81 Is in
1873, and 81 "a 10 1872. Two poor
wheat crops in Europe bad made our
farmers somewhat presumptuous, in
ducing them to enlarge their acreage
in 1874 by "a millions, making it
equal 10 the area of Ohio.
The amount of corn raised in the
United States in 1874 was 854. 3d.
600 bushel-, decline of $4,000. 900,
vet it was worth to the farmer $653.-
100000, or over 800, 600, 900 more
than the crop of 1873. The
average price per bushel was 649
cents, against 43 cents in 1873, and 80
cents in 1872 As the export never
equals four per cent. of the product,
this crop may be regarded as one of
exclusive home consumption, and it's
cultivation should be regulated from
that standpoint. The acreage was
about Al, 900, 900 greater in 1874 than
in 1873. The average yield par acre
was, by q variety of disasters, re-
duced to 20.7, against 23.8 bushels in
1873, and 307 bushels in 1872. yet
the average value of the crop per
acre rose from 81 IL in 1873, to s13
As in 1874.

use. The color will be violet blue.
The border and all directions as to
where and how to write name and ad-
dress will be dispensed with. "A mon
ogram, formed of the letters GU s."
will be printed on the card
in black ink. This will be on the up
per left hand corner, across which
will be the words "Postal Card"
The vignette-Liberty, with her lux
uriant tresses hanging down her back
and confined by a cap-adorns the
upper left-hand corner. The new
cards will be identical in size with the

COMPLIMENTARY TO SENATOR H0L-
LowAY.-The State Journal pubishe s
short pen sketches of the mem bers CT
the late State Senate, and thus re-
marks of the member from this coun-
ty:
"Hon. j. G. Holloway, of Grant, is
on tho last year of his second term !;
aud for four years bis people have
been ably represented in the Senate.
No man gives better attention, or
more fully understands matters be-
fore the Senate than does Mr.. Fl.
While he makes no pretensions to
public speaking, he does talk with
great clearness and with effect. He
was pe of the strong men in the
Senate. A native of New York 48
years old; and 10 years in Wisconsin"
The Senator also deserves the cred
it rarely accorded to a member of
four years standing in that body, of
never having missed roll-call or
lodged a vote. There is room up
stairs for such mon. As parliament
tartan he was regarded as one of the
best in the Senate, and during the
last session was frequently called np-
on to decide difficult and knotty
questions. The people of the county
are generally well satisfied with the
course of Senator Holloway, and
were it not for the long custom of
changing this Office every four years,
be would doubtless be invited to re-
main at Madison another term.

Complications in the Railroad Legis-
Iation.


A Madison diopntUh rt"too th"t
there is considerable excitement pre-
valent in railroad circles over certain
railroad legislation which is charao-
terized as "incongrRous and unjust"
The dispatch says:
At the suggestion of a prominent
railroad msnager in the northern
mart of tie sta 0, these officers have
been examining into the acts passed
The present winter, and find that the
pw approved March I'd, divides all
the railroads into two classes Glass
A, including the Chicago and North
western and the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railroads, except the
Madieon and Portage division Glass
B, including all the rest Of the roads
in the state. This law also author
izea the lattor class to charge four
cents q mile, and allows them 10 use
their old freight tariffs of June. 1873.
Another act, approved March 5, does
not affect the passenger rates, but
fixes the rates of freight at a slight
advance on the Potter law rates for
Glasses A and B, which, under the
previous law, includes all the roads
in the state, thus raising the smaller
roads to the same class as the first
class roads, and doing great injustice
to thes poor roads.
1t is said that the Executive Com
mittee of the State Grange are dis
posed to favor an extra session of the
Legislature to patch up the present
railroad law. The Governor will,
however, be governed by opinions of
tho law officers of the State and act
accordingly.

OUR COUNTY OFFICERS.
County Officers for IS Years, Since the Organ

Grant county was organized by an
act of the first session of the Terrific
rial Legislature of Wisconsin, which
nnnvonad q. p .l~Ao.t, Cetober 90,
1886. The act of organization was
dated December 9Th, 1886, and went
into effect March 4th, 1887. The first
general election was held in April of
that year, when near 800 votes were
cast, the population being about 1900.
The following is a complete list ofthe
county officers, including also the
members of the Board of Supervisors,
each year, since the date of the first
election:

The Administration in Power.

On the 4th of March, 1797-the
day that Washington closed his second
term of office-an opposition paper OF
that date, the "Aurora," published the
following:
"The man who is the source of all
the misfortunes of our country is this
day reduced to a level with his fellow
citizens, and is no longer possessed OF
power to multiply evils upon the
United States. If ever there was a
period for rejoicing, this is the mo
ment. Every heart in unison with the
freedom and happiness of the people
ought to beat high with exu'tatlon
that the name of Washington this day
ceases to give currency TO political
iniouity, and TO legalize corruption.
A new era is now opening upon as
An era which promises much to the
people for public measures must now
stand upon their own merits, and ne
falious projects can no longer be sup
ported by name. When a retros-
pect is taken oi'the Washington Ad-
ministration for eight years, it is sub
ject of the greatest astonlshment that
a single individual should have canker-
ed the principles of republicanlsm in
an enlightened people just emerged
from the gulf of despotism, and should
have carried his designs against the
public liberty so far as to have put in
jeopardy its very existence. Such,
however, are the facts, and 9TH these
staring us in the face, this day ought
to be a jubilee in the United States"
If Washington at the close of his
illustrious career, after life both pub
lie and private unblemished, and with
national record nsver before equal
ed, could provoke such attacks, can
it be wondered that prominent and
good men of later times should be the
| subjects of vituperative invective and
malicious abuse
AS was in the Savior's time, so it has
| ever been and ever will be, that at the
advent of any great ard good man
some are to be found who will cry,
"crucify him !" ''crucify him J! The
ridiculous and false charges made
against Lincoln and Grant are as
unfounded as those made against
Washington, and the same glory and
honor which now crowns the Father
of his Country, will form diadems OF
equal worth for the Savior and Pro-
tector thereof
