RlcHLAxp CENTER AND LANCASTER.

HIGHLAND CENTER AND LANCASTER.
The village Of Richand Cen
ter and Lancaster are similar in more
respects than one. In one respect
particularly SO. Both are devoid of
railroad facilities. The former carts
its produce and merchandise and liv-
ing freight Is miles to and from a
railroad depot. Lancaster does the
same. Both are county seats, and
therefore contain a greater number of
money sharks aud non enterprising
citizens than other villages of the
same population, and not blessed
with the county capital honor. Both
towns are situated in the midst of a
rich agricultural district and derive
their business mainly from the pro
ducts Of the soil Neither is noted
az a manufacturing town." because
neither has a railroad. But Richland
Center, although containing less
wealth than Lancaster, is ahead of us
in railroad enterprise, and we are
afraid she will carry away the red
ribbon for best exhibit of pluck.
Lancaster has been fighting within
itself for year over the railroad
question AMI seems not To have solV
ei the problem yet The HERALD
has published in the time several
hundreds of columns of arguments
aud appeals to the people. But
Richland Center moves ahead. Four
or five months ago the people started
the project OF building narrow
guage railroad from that place to
Lone Rock on the Milwaukee 81 st.
Paul road. \ company was formed
and commissioners sent TO Milwauke,
who contracted with the Milwaukee
& St. Paul company for special
freight rates tor depot, side track, &c,
at Lone Rock An election was held
and the Center came up TO d man and
voted for the building of railroad,
pledging the necessary aid to con-
struct the entire road to Lone Rock.
To show that they do mean business
over in Richland we quote from the
last Republican "Grading on our
railroad goes bravely on. AT this
" date there ate about so teams EN-
;" ployed and I25 men. Teams are
receiving So a day and men $50.
" Grading is done from the village to
E" near the church on w. w. Welton's
j" farm" Why cannot the capitalists
and merchants and farmers of Lam
caster 90 to work at building a rail
road too? A number Of expeditions
by our business men have been made
70 railroad centers for the purpose Of
ascertaining how to get a railroad.
We would suggest that the next party
visit Richland Center and learn how
to build one. In this connection we
will add that railroad meeting will
be held at Lancaster on Saturday af>
ternoon of next week, for tie pur-
pose Of discussing the proposition Of
railroad connection with PlattevilIe
as submitted to the people for cleo
ton November 2 The meeting will
be held at the Court House, and
everybody intere sted should attend.

temperance Lecture,

At the recent sanitary meetings in
Baltimore, DR.. Hitchcock, of Michigan,
presented some startling figures on the
ravages of intemperance. The con-
sumption of spirituous and malt liquors
in this country is placed at the incred-
ible aggregate of five hundred and sixty
million galions-equal to fourteen gal
Ions to every man, woman and child in
the United States. He estimates the
entire loss to this country from strong
drink, including sickness, deaths, crime,
insanity, and SO on, at two thousand
million dollars annually, almost enough
in a single year to pay off the national
debt. He cited from English reports
of the highest authority showing that
three-fifths of the insanity of that
country is produced by intemperance.
In the asylums for idiots three fifths of
the patients owe their misfortune to
this vice in their parents. Investiga-
tiOn shows that only eighteen per cent.
of State prisoners pretend to have been
temperate. Fifty thousand men, accord
ing to the Doctors calculation, die
every year in this country from intem-
perance. OF course there is great diff
ficulty in compiling statistics on this
subject, but the figures given by DR..
Hitchcock are probably as reliable as
any ever presented on intemperance.
Whether the accuracy of his statements
is received or rejected, one thing is
certain, and that is that intemperance
is moving a mighty and deadly swath
through the land
