ministerial Maifeasance.

Rev, G. L Gordon, Pastor of Cass
Street Unitarian) Church, Milwau-
kee, was installed as Pastor OF sad
church on Wednesday Of last week
with ceremonies at once beautiful and
appropriate The final ceremony was
the delivery of the charge by Rev j
L. Dudley, formerly Pastor Of Ply
mouth Church. It is not surprising
to see the Rev. Dudley in the fold of
the Unitarians we only wish he were
worthy to affiliate with society which
embraces among its representative di-
vines so many good men. Alas . Mr..
Dudley is an unworthy apostle. an
arch enemy to those principles Of which
he pirates with SO much Of eloquence
and pathos.
In the charge delivered Mr.. Dudley
says:
The day of dogma is done; the
day OF affairs is done {; the day of sac
ritice is gone. The day Of true man
hood is come. eve fear it will never
come with Bro Dudley } The only
true religion worth anything is human
character. y man with God will be
worth as much as his character will
pan out in integrity"
All of which is very true, and would
to God that Mr.. Dudley we're consist
ent with his noble utterances. We
must ask Bro. Dudley how much q
mans character aoiA pan ont in infeg
rity who has, by a system of FRAUD
and hypocritlcal action robbed anu
plundered a father-in-law bowed dowr
with grief and gray hairs? How much
will man 5 character pan out in in,
tegrity, whose purse holds thousands
of dollars which belong to him nc
more than all the kingdoms of the
earth belonged to Satan when he would
give them all to the Son of God fol
His worship? Bro. d. think Of past

Remember This.-Now is tn.

Remember This. is the
time of the year for Pneumonia, Lung
Fever, Coughs, Colds, and fatal results
of predisposltion to Consumption and
other Throat and Lung Disease. b.
schee's German Syrup has been used
in this neighborhood for the past two
or three years without single failure
to cure. If you have not nsed this
medicine yourself, go to yonr Druggist
+. j Wood and ask HIM of its won
derfui success among his customers.
Two doses will relieve the worst case.
If you have no faith in any medicine,
just buy sample bottle of Boschee'-
German Syrup for ten cents and try it,

neglect a cough to save IS cents.

A Bogus Congressman.

The apparent determination of
Judge CATE to claim seat in con
gress as the representative in congress
from the 9Th district in this state, is
exciting no little comment We pres
ume our delegation will not permit him
to be sworn IN unchallenged, for he has
no more moral right to a seat there
than any other citizen of Wisconsin.
The comments that are being made on
his case call out the Milwaukee Nems
to his defense 1t frankly admits chat
Judge CATE was not elected. if all
the votes cast had been counted and
were legal. but by throwing out of a
portion of the vote of Wood county,
on some frivolous pretext (there is no
claim on the part eff any one that the
votes were illega) judge Cate receiv-
ed certificate OF election by two ma
iority. Judge Cate claims. however,
TIL. t the votes of ID. Geo. Morrison and
Vincent Cournoyer, of Doug las county,
James Chapman, of Bayfield,. and
others were illegal because they had
Indian blood in them. These men
voted against Judge Cate, and if
Judge G. can show that they were not
entitled to vote, then he can with
properiety claim seat in congress.
These men have voted for years. Mr.
Morrison has been for many years one
of the most prominent citizens on Lake
Superior, He has frequently held
county offices in Douglas county. hav-
ing been sheriff, etc, and is now, we
believe, register of deeds. He's Judge
Cate 5 superior in culture and educa-
ton 1--WE do not say it disparagingly Or
offensively) for he received very
liberal education in the best schools of
the county. Mr.. Courneyer is the
county clerk elect; Mr.. Chapman is
one Of the supervisors OF bayfield,.
We mention the names OF these men
because we know them personally, and
they are representative men of the
class of voters the Milwaukee New:
and Judge Cate claims were not EMIT
led to vote.
Perhaps these men are not entitled
to vote. but we know of no reason why
they are not. If the committee on
elections will investigate the question
and decide it early, and the con"lu-
sion arrived at is that Mr. Morrison
anG the other challenged men were
not voters, than We can no longer say
thet Judge Cate Is holding seat in
congress in defiance of the popular
will and under circumstances that are
at once dishonorable and disgraceful,
if the opposite fact should appear.

The Presidents Message.

The seventh message by General
Grant is by far the ablest presented
for the consideration of Congress. for
many years. It is Of unusual length
tor Grant, which shows that he is get
ting into the old ruts worn by his
predecessors. The message opens with
a recital Of the country's advancement
during the hundred years which have
elapsed since the independence Of the
co onies. and immediately enters upon
subjects Of Importance to the nation.
As a rhetorical effort we should not
call it IA success; as a plain common
sense presentation Of facts and wants
calling for the consideration of con-
gressional body We should say it is
pre-eminently sound The president
tells without equivocation what he
thinks will be best for the country,
gives his views upon the money ques-
ton. plainly and squarely advocating
and urging the return to a specie basis
as soon at least as 1879. He gives no
encouragement to the insurgents in
Cuba, but pledges the good Offices Of
the United States in mediation or ar
bitration Of the difficulties now exist
ing, if required

There are scores of societies accumu-

make such taxation universal We think
would be unjust. The very many
matters to which the attention Of con

should judge from the tone Of our ex-
chances.

L P Powers,

An investigation into the finances
of the city, running over period Of
some four years, has been made and
published by the Reporter, before it
was presented to the Common Coun-
Gil and before it could be ascertain
ed whether it was correct.-TTSbuhe.
The Inference to be gathered from
the above is, that we did an unbecom-
ing thing in publishing the report"
before the council had an opportunity
of acting upon it. We fail to see the
nice point. We understand the coun-
Gil did act upon it at its meeting
Thursday evening Did the council
authorize its publication, after taking
action? If they did not. (and it is a
fact that they did not, when may we
expect it to authorize its publication ?
If the people had waited until the
Tweed steals were authoritatively pub
lished. when would the public have
become cognizant Of them? The same
question may be asked relative to the
Credit Mobiller frauds. and other kin
dred acts of malfeasance No. The
publication of that report was only
just. In regard to the Marshal's fig
ures, we will only say not an ex-of1icer
was accused Of fraud or corruption,
and they have no reason to take off
ense. The report says, ''unexplained'
and the people await such explanation,
holding their verdict.

A reference to the map, will show
that aside from the wholesale trade
along its one line, which this road will
open directly to this city, there will be
large increase of car business over
the Green Bay and Central roads to
the towns and the pineries of Clark and
Chippewa counties, and the early ex,
tentlon of the Central to Lake Superior.
which is expected, will further enlarge
the field of our trade.
Cenrralia and Grand Rapids and
Wausau are important places for trade
already, and are growing rapidly. The
first two towns lie opposite each other
on the banks Of the Wisconsin river
and have combined population Of mp
wards of 5000 Wausau has 5000
inhabitants, and exhibit every evidence
of business and prosperity.
Besides the pine lumber business
and the prospects for wholesale trade,
there are other considerations of much
Importance in favor of this road for
Lacrosse. The great quantities of hard
wood lumber aud oak and hemIock tan
bark which can be brought to this city
and used in manufacturing to great
advantage, will build up very import
ant and valuable new manufacturing
interests here. At Ceutralia there is
a very large bed of clay which will make
fire brick that are considered equal to
the best now imported
If the road comes here. as is now
expected, the general Offices will be re-
moved to this city and we will have
their business and interests conferred
here. The value of this project is not
to be earelessly estimated and the par
tial ideas Of it which we have given
above should induce our citizens to
look the matter up thoroughly and be
prepared to further our own interest
and take advantage of our improved
opportunities when this road reaches
Lacrosse. One point which we did
not mention above, Is that we should
get another eastern outlet by the con-
nection with the Green Bay road.
A surveying party left Tomah, to
make an examination of the proposed
route to Lacrosse. on Tuesday hast.
