THE ROVER CAsE.-Col. T. w. W.
Davis, who opened the argument for
the appellant in the Rover case before
the Supreme Court, filed his brief last
Saturday. An opinion in the case is
expected in few days. Col. Davis,
who is as studious in law as he was
brave as a soldier, is said to have made
an able and forcible argument. and
presented the case of the appellant in
the strongest manner. The case is one
in which great interest is manifested by
the public, and the opinion of the
highest tribunal in the State is looked
for with anxiety.

Bright Sayings.

When Bright Of the Waupaca Re
publican puts his pencil to paper he is
bound to scratch out something read
able if not orthodox. We always lis
ten for the Republican. Hear him
three times:
The Stevens Point Pinery and Grand
Rapids Tribune viii hardly get over
growing over Parks election in time to
wipe their eyes for Taylor's defeat next
fall.
Congressman G. W. Cate writes a
column Of Amherst items to the Ste
vens Point Pinery every week. Mr.
Cate is a frst-rate local editor. We
do not know how he would make it 90
writing up stiff political leaders, but as
a local he is a success. And this is
really a good recommendation for him,
as ne is just entering congressional
life. It needs pretty smart man for
Congress.
The great Geologist, O. W. Wight,
is deep man. His depth must pos
sess a profundity rarely witnessed. 1t
must, indeed, be cavernous. For see
this, of the researches in the strata
visited by himself and associates in
Milwaukee, the account of which comes
from trustworthy source, which says
latter visiting the Lagerbeeriferous de-
posites they eatered the Aldermanerian
region, where they found a large as
sortment of fossils Of the Bourbonifer-
Gus period The familiarity of the
chief geologists with every place visit
ed, and every fossil. was a complete
of the remark that Wight
knows no more about geology than
Bouck does about penmanship. +" He
must be deep---or mighty full all the
time.

We HAVE NO disposition to reopen
the agitation of the license question,
but we wish to state few facts rela-
tive to allegations that have heretofore
been made when the propriety of refus-
ing license has been discussed in times
past. It has been alleged that if no
licenses were granted more liquor would
be sold than if the opposite course were
pursued. Undoubtedly this is true
statement, and the reason of its truth
is, because what is eVerybodys business
IS assumed to be the business Of no
particular person or set Of persons ;
consequently the law is ovorridden, and
no one feels like assuming the offensive
and fighting for the laws supremacy.
At the recent spring election at
Black River Falls the Issue was license
or no-license. The no-license party
were victorious. Immediately the cry
was raised ''Now you viii see ETC.,
etc" and sure enough, more drunken
men were to be seen upon the street
than ever before, but the city fathers
thought they saw a remedy, and acting
promptly some half dozen or more were
arrested and fined from % TO 40 dol
lars. Bail was procured, but the next
day the same violaters were arrested on
another charge, found guilty, fined and
imprisoned. Bail seemed to have
played out and SO they languished be-
hind the bars. There was no letting
up on the part Of the authorities, and
the consequence is, that the dealers
soon weariod, and now the saloons have
returned to their allegiance, and order
and sobriety rcigns, Here is the whole
thing in d nut shell. If the law is
enforced promptly and W tn deter
mination to have its authority asserted,
it IS as easy TO curb the wayward spirit
Of the liquor vender as it is to control
the crime of horse stealing or burglary.
We can with the same consistency say,
"WeI, men will steal and break into
stores, SO it is as well to not notice
these depredations" The fact is it is
just as CONSTANT to license men to do
such deeds, as to license men to pre-
pare these law breakers for the perpe-
tration Of their deeds of outlaw~y.
You may attempt to legaIize a wrong,
but such action cannot make wrong
right.

Very UNEXPECTEDLY Mr.. Bowen
who has been termed the Mephistoph-

upon the stand as witness in rebuttal
for the prosecutions Mr.. Bowen has
had much to sayTbut has never said
much. He has cried Perjury, - ''per
jury, " perjury, lifting his hands in
holy horror, and the great public ex-
pected him to tell something awful.
His testimony is in and it really amounts
to nothing; to be sure he has contra
dicted Mr.. Beecher in several particu-
lers, but in this contradiction he puts
the word of FL. G. Bowen against that
Of such men as FL. B. Claf1in, Mr..
Storrs, Mr.. Freeland, Eggleston and
Mr.. Beecher, the least of whom it is
conceded Is more worthy of credence
than Henry c. Bowen. We have al
ways looked upon Bowen as a stink.
We believe now more than ever before
that that is the way he should spell his
name. He has been Jealous of the

influence and has been playing pig and

ally inheres in a hog. One thing is

The New Illustrated History Of
WISCONSIN.
From the State Journal. April 9Th.

This worE, now in process of publ
cation. will be ready for subscribers
about July next It is complete in
one larga octave volume Of 1876 pages,
and $50 fine, full page illustrations.
It embraces a full, authentic, interest
ing history Of Wisconsin from It's first
exploration by the French down to
1875, with q sketch Of each county in
the State. It is printed on beautiful,
heavy, calandered white paper, and
bound in excellent style. Besides pre-
senting complete history Of the State
and Territory, and an account of the
administration Of each Of the Cover
nors from Dodge to Taylor, it gives
lfe-like and common sense sketches of
all the distinguished men and women
of the State of the past and present
The author is now engaged or this
part Of the work and wishes it under
stood by all the people Of this State
that biographies in the History Of
Wisconsin, cost the parties represented
nothing whatever. He is particularly
desrous Of having sketches in his work
Of all TIE old pioneers Of the State,
whether living or deceased. and he ap-
peals to them or their friends to send
him the data from which he may be able
to write short biographical sketches,
Some persons may object to furnishing
the data for their own sketches, but
when it is remembered that this kind is
''without money and without price, !"
the objection is removed. Either send
in the data for your sketch, or, if this
is not agreeable to your tastes Or sense
Of propriety, ask some friend acquaint-
ed with your history to do it. Here
is a chance for persons, whose distin-
guished friends or relatives have fin
ished their work and gone to their re-
wards, to write short biographies Of
them and have them inserted in The
New History Of Wisconsin, free of
cost. Will not at least ore hundred
persons who have friends or relatives
who are not now living, who were dis
tinguished in their day for services
rendered their town or the State, avail
themselves of this opportunity? Do
not hesitate because you may not be
able to write polished biography.
Write a simple, plain, chronological
narrative Of the life, just as you would
tell the story to friend, and send it
to the author, and he will re-write it
and put it il proper shape. Besides
this invitation to make the people of
the State contributors to their own
history, the author has written some
five hundred letters to different parties
extending this invitation. AL notes
intended for biographies, or scraps Of
Local history should be addressed to the
author, as follows: Prof, Charles R.
Tuttle, Madison. Wis.
This work is published by the well
known B. B. Russell, of Boston, which
is no small guarantee of its reliability.
Prof. Tuttle, the writer of this work.
has already written three other State
histories and other works that have
bees successfully published, and comes
to his work here strongly Endorsed by
distinguished persons in the States
where his books have been circulated.
The work is now almost completed,
and will be ready for delivery to sub
scribers after July.

THERE IS great CONSERVATION among
the distillers, occasioned by the pre-
concerted action of the Z. s. Revenue
Authorities who havo seized every
whiskey mandatory in Chicago, St.
Louis and Milwaukee. Highwines
have been selling in New York and in
all the principal markets, way below
the government tax, which suggests
the idea that possibly there may be
