Superior and New Orleans,

Superior and New Orleans.
If ever bond of sympathy existed be-
tween two great commercial centres, it
should between these two places.
Alike, and yet how unlike
New Orleans, situated in the tropical zone,
is the chief commercial city and capital of
the great state of Louisiana.
Superior, situated in the frigid zone, is
the chief commercial city and capital of the
great State of Douglas County.
New Orleans is the terminus of fresh water
navigation on the great Father of Waters"
Superior, excepting Oneota and Stones
Dock, is the head of fresh water navigation
or the great ''Father of Lakes"
Grass grows up between the cracks in the
sidewalks in New Orleans.
SO it does in Superior!
They have political troubles in New Or
leans.
So they do in Superior.
In n. @. the great stumbling block to
peace is the negro.
liz Superior it is the halfbreed.
The difference between the two races be
ing only in the kink of the hair.
In New Orleans they elect men to Office
and then when the men who are elected go
to the fellows who are in, the fellows who
are in decline to vacate
And that's the way they do in Superior.
Then the newspapers publish a lot of Off
cal correspondence.
And that's the way they are going to do in
Superior
Which. without further preamble, brings
Us to the subject we are driving at, viz: the
official correspondence" which we herewith
present:
SUPERIOR, Douglas Co., Wis.,
November 80, 1875.
To Thomas Clark, Esq,
SUPERIOR Wisconsin:
DEAR SIR-Having been elected by the
people of Douglas County to the office of
District Attorney, | hereby demand of YOU
tanning and belonging to this office, which
you have held under an appointment of the
Governor and void election.
Very Respectfully,
JAMES 5. RICHIE,
District Attorney.
To which ponderous document District
Attorney Clark deigned no reply other than
writitcr on lie hacLy
Copy received Decembea 2, 1875.
THOS. CLARK,
Dist Attorney in and for Douglas County,
State of Wisconsin.
And refused to vacate
What Mr.. Clarl's defense is for this
course, we do not know it may be that he
thinks that possession is nine points of the
law" or, which is more probable, that he
viii be able to prove that there was no cause
for the recent election, Or that the election
was illegal.
And this is but the "beginning of the end
as we understand that the other county Off
GERS also refuse to give up their offices
The upshot Of the whole matter, probably,
will be to bring up again the mooted question
as to whether halfbreed VINO draws annu-
ties from the Government is legal voter.
Well, all THE TINES has got to say is (:
Go in boys We'll hold yonr hats

which New Orleans is the capital, in o. case
like this, the first thing they would have
! done would have been TO call on the Govern
ment Cor assistance. Not so with the great
State Of Douglas County, of which Superior
/ is the capital, No, sir not much. We are
proud people here, and believe in State
sovereignty, and don't want any Government
/ or Government troops to come foolng
around with our internal arrangements.
