Taylor County and It's Officers.

At the last session of the legislature
the county of Taylor was organized
by taking ten townships from Chip
pawa county, ten from Clark, six
from Lincoln, and one from Marathon
The population of the new county
was estimated at 1900, and the num-
Der voters at 600. The Wisconsin
Central railroad runs through the
county, and there are five villages
and five post-offices within it's limits.
There are a number of thriving
manufactures already established in
the county, representing nearly half
million dollars worth of capital.
The county seat is Medford, on the
Wisconsin Central
The Governor is required under
the law to appoint full set of off,
GERS for this county, who hold until
after the election next fall. The ap-
pointments were made as follows
E. G. Thomas, Sheriff; VIM. e. Lock
0IOfs OiOt n VI SILSuIv OOuAO hlAk CO
Dodge, County Clerk; Frank A
Healy, County Treasurer W. B. JEFF
fers, Register of Deeds; John K Par
ish, District Attorney; Ole N. Lee,
Superintendent of Schools Alfred D.
Lunt, Surveyor; Enoch Honey well,
Coroner; E. r. Pink, County Judge.
Two lists Of ofdcara we're present
ed, both endorsed by very respecta-
BILE petitions. The officers who were
appointed seemed to have the sup
port of the majority of the residents
of the county. They are said to be
about equally divided politically,
though the ticket was made up with
out reference to party. They hold
until after the election next Novem-
Der, when their places will be filled
by the people of the county.-Madi-
son Democrat.

The Summing up of those figures
show that the fifteen Democratic

States have a debt of s109 900, 600,
of which ST., 0OO,0 900 are due to Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania and Massa-

Mr.. Walkers plan is that Congress
shall, by act of legislation, assume all
this debt, issuing national bonds
therefor, and pay the interest there's
on annually. In other words: that
over two-thirds of the people, who
owe less than one-third of the State
debts, shall change position-shaIl

RAILRoAD.-A Platteville CORE
spondent to the Dubuque Herald,
among other things, says he is q
great admirer of railroads, and be-
lieves railroad property good in
vestment for any community. He
would like to see one wherever there
is room for it-a regular net work
as frequent as living streams. Every
part of a country that is sufficiently
productive ought to be tapped by a
railroad hopes to see one more road
in our country-that proposed be-
tween Dubuque and lancaster
There aIe great mineral productions
in the country between the two
places, while for miles around Lam
caster, in every direction, the pro-
dactions of the soil are enormous, so
very great that it seems an absolute
necessity that these products should
be brought nearer markets by rail
road communication And, from the
tone of his letter, he thinks Dubuque
is ungrateful, and says she certainly
ought to feel that we are near her
and good noighbor, because we
hold mighty intercourse with her.
Long are the trains made up of our
farmers teams pouring their heavy
loads of grain into the capacious
warehouses of the Key City. Many
are the visitors from the towns and
and country of our county who go
into that city to make extensive
purchases from stock, larger and
more varied than we can offer them
at home Many are the thousands of
dollars worth of goods distributed
throughout our county by its retail
| merchants in the stocks of the of the
numerous ard increasing wholesale
dealers in Dubuque.
