question to DC decided Very different from this, how

portion 10 the number Of Roman Catholic children 10 be
educated. Outside Of this city the difference IL still
more manifest Any such appropriation, there
fore. is simply equi, alent to q payment by tax
payers, who not Roman Catholics, for the
education OF children in that faith. This Is
practically the meaning OF the claim now
being made by many OF their clergy and periodicals.
Apart from other considerations, its injustice must at
once be apparent cannot believe that the tax payers
in this or any other portion OF the country
would patiently submit 10 such imposition,
apd quite that any political party rehsOn-
ably suspected OF entertaining favOraby such claim
would insure its destruction. There many who
are not Roman Catholics who firmly believe in the union

THE BILL making County, City aud
Town Treasurers ineligible for re-elec-
ton two consecutive terms has been
defeated in the Legislature The feel
ing, we think, throughout the state
WIS in favor of the passage Of the
bill. 1t certainly would have been aH
healthy enactment, but for reasons best
known to those who contested its pass
age, it has been defeated, and the sew
ARA localities hitherto suffering from a
too lengthy retention in Office Of such
pubic servants, are doomed to bitter
disappointment. If the law rendering
Sheriffs ineligible to a second consecu-
tive election is sslutary in its effects,
then the bill relating TO the election
of Treasures was good one and should
have passed. We think our legislature
has made serious mistake one that
will rebound to the disadvantage Of
the state, and particularly to localities
we might mcution.

A Chapter of Political History.

When Mr. Csfpenter was elected
Senator, in 1869, Governor Washburn
was very much disappointed, and the
usually healing Eminent that time pours
over wounds, failed entirely in cover
ing up the cicatrice on the ex-Govern-
ors political countenance, In 1871,
Senator Carpenter, with view Of
making matters harmonious and pleas
ant, earnestly cham pioned Washburn' S
nomination for Governor. and in doing
SO offended many ct his cid friends,
who were supporting William E. Smith
fer that position, The fact that every
member Of Congress, and every FEEDER
al Office holder in the State, were tound
arri.yed on the Washburn side, secured
Smiths defeat by 3 small majority
not large enough to present charges of
fraud, corruption, and federal Office
holders interference" however, being
brought against the successful candi-
date and his friends, ia getting con-
troll Of enough delegates to secure the
nomination.
Governor Washburn was duly cleo
ted that fali-Mr. Smith and his sup
porters manfully 'scoming up to the
scratch, " and drinking from the bitter
cup. Two years thereafter, from caus-
es which it is unnecessary to explain
here, Washburn was overwhelmingly
defeated for election and after a
little, the old cicatrice was occasionally
visible in his complexion. and the sem
atorial ambition again disturbed his
dreams. Some mistakes of Mr.. Car
penter gave the Ex-Governor little
strength, and so, although not being
openly considered a candidate, he man
aged to secure about one-third of the
Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture; indeed, it was hard to satisfy
hir chat he didn't have two-thirds.
But the day before the caucus met,
bis eyes were opened. and hopes OF
success faded before him ike the
"baseiess fabric Of vision" Through
his influence, and that of other oppo-
nents of Mr.. Carpenter, enough Re
publican members refused to support
the caucus nominee, to prevent an cleo
ton. After seven days balloting,
when the contest became bitter, an ar
rangement was suddenly made with
sixteen out Of twenty-five Of the boil
tiers and the Democrats, and Hon. An
gus Cameron, Of La Crosse-a bitter
opponent of Washburn's nomination
for Governor in 1872, and lifelong
non-adn.irer Of Washburn--was cleo
ted over Mr., Carpenter Chippetca

Angus Cameron at Home.

from the La Crosse Democrat Dem.)
II the state of Wisconsin had been
raked with fine tooth comb, it would
have been utterly impossible to catch
a more perfect specimen Of the extreme
radical republican partisan.
Milwaukee Ne1cs please copy.
From the La Gro Sc Leader Oep)1
Beginning his political life as Wing,
Mr.. Cameron has the best foundation
possible for becoming one Of the
strongest and truest Of republicans
and as such he is known and recogn-
lied by every political man who is in
the least acquainted with his views
on the public questions Of the day.
At the close of the war he took radical
and advance grounds on the question:
of negro suffrage, advocating tie rights
of the colored man to the enjoyment
of the elective franchise, when it was
not popular to do SO in Wisconsin;
and to-day, while republicans of a
weak and vaci!ating type are hating
between sustaining the administration
in the Louisiana controversy, and com
hitting that rebel-ridden state to the
control Of the mercenaries, vultures
and assassins of the McEuery stripe,
he is unreserved and cmph attic in his
endorsement Of the policy pursued by
General Grant and his subordinates.
IF democrats can point out a single
vote in his legislative career or as a
private citizen, or bring to light an act
which in the smallest degree justifes
his being labeled a democrat, wheth-
or under the guisc Of liberal or in
dependent republican, or Of war dem
ocrat, they will be doing valuable ser
vice to his friends, his neighbors, and
his political associates. Throughout
his career as a political man, he has
been active, vigilant, consistent and
answering III his fidelity and devotion
to the party Of progress and freedom;
an advocate Of strong, stable and
effective government. and no man in
Wisconsin has dealt the fusion party
stronger or more telling blows than he
nor is there a man in the common
wealth to whom the republican party
is more indebted for efficient assistance
and work in conducting the various
campaigns occurring since he became
a citizen of it and identified himself
with its social, political and material in
terests- Upon all vital issues involving
fundamental principles of government
upon all measures affecting the status
OF rebels and their sympathisers, upon
ali questions relating to the rights and
privileges of that unfortunate and dis
pissed race, which the democrats would
again subjugate. our opponents will
end Angus Cameron taking radical and
bold grounds against them, and on the
side of the patriotic masses to whose
welfare and advancement he
has been devoted since he entered Pc.
htieal life.

IT Is with pleasure we chronicle
the fact that the Legislature has pass
ed the bill making women eligible to
local School Offices. The Bill was or
dered to third reading on the 18th
inst. The result of the vote indicated
81 ayes to 81 nays, followed by APP
plause in the Chamber. The Governor
has not at this writing signed the bill,
but ne will probably do so. This is a
step in the right direction. We hail
it as good omen. Within the next
decade, it is reasonable to expect that
women will be in the full enjoyment of
the elective frnnchise together with all
the rights and immunities these privile
yes confer upon voters and citizens,
irrespective of sex or color

The RAILROAD Commissioners hav

The RAILROAD Commissioners have
made a Report which fairly brings the
question before the Legislature, wheth-
re or no the Potter law infringes upon
their franchises and whether or no the
legislature of last winter relating there
TO should be reconsidered or remodeled.
In connection with the report also
comes a memorial from the railroads
presenting matters in most unfavor-
able light for the welfare of the roads.
There may have been, and prob
ably has been no collision between the
Commissioners and the r. r. Magnates,
still il is very singular that two such
documents, SO strikingly alike in sever.
al particulars, should see the light at
the same time. It has been firmly es-
tablished that the State has the right
20 control rail corporations, but in ex-
ercising such control it is not to be in
serred that the roads have no rights
that TIE State is not bound 70 respect.
All the blow and bombast and bun
cumb which has filled the papers. and
plade the very atmosphere Of all pu5-
aic places for two years past to assume
almost white heat Of anger, aod semi
friendly disputation could have been
avoided had the principle Of equal jus
tice TO all parties been duly considered,
and held paramount to all else. There
has seemingly been a life and death
struggle between the great rail eorpo-
rations and the State, where there
should hay. been only the best under
standing, both parties to the contest
recognizing the fact that there exists
between them a mutual relationship,
aud mutual interests that neither
can exist without the friendly aid
and protection of the other The Com
missloners have prepared plan for the
settlement of existing difficulties. We
hope to see the recommendation oil
che Report acted upon. and at leas,
partially adopted. The whole thing is
in = nut shell. If the Potter Law is
oppressive, it ought to be modified
