Our Milwaukee friends seem disposed
to shield their criminals, especially
the revenue thieves. Their papers
are usually silent, except in palliation
of these offenses. One Mr.. Roddis is
now the object of their solicitude,
and long editorials are written in ex-
tenuation, or, at least, in palliation,
of his misdeeds. Why not bring these
thieves to justice, and call them by
their proper names.

Not Responsible,

Sam Fifeld thinks we were mistaken
about Col. Calkins' being elected to
the Assembly. We never supposed
any such thing, Samuel. We never
even heard that he was a candidate.
Neither did we ever suppose for a
moment that Samuel would seriously
think of running for Speaker against
any man who was eligible to the Of
fee. He might run with impunity
against third-house member. If the
Republicans have no better material
for Speaker than Sam Fideld, then
they ought to send Immediately to
Donnelly for a fourth.class Republican
''screecher" from Minnesota. And yet
there are some matters that might be
urged in extenuation for Sam, person
ally. 1t is said of Sam, that in early
life he was subject to severe attacks
of the tooth-ache, causing both men,
tai and physical suffering, and result
ing in some enlargement Of that whit
ish, soft mass which constitutes the
anterior or cephalic extremity of the
nervous system in man or other verter-
bratos, CHATS Sam) occupying the up
per cavity of what some PSYCHOLOGISTS
have described as a bony case, COM
posed of a number of smaller bones
united by sutWes, and including the
solid organs of manducation, and sup
posed to be the center of sensation
and perception.
In other words, our friend is slight
ly affected with a disease usually
known as the 'big-head," and, when
under its influence he often fights like
one who beats the air. This, with
other slight deformities, are things
for which our deluded brother should
not be held responsible.

lie Dent Want It.

in reply to our suggestion that, in
redistricting the state, Pierce county
might be given to Sam Fifeld. he very
feelingly, as well as respectfully says:
I've could not think of accepting it,
even if the legislature in its wisdom
should see fit to present it to us. +"
And, oh, what a pity! just think of
it. How doth Pierce county need the
care and protection of its once adopt
ed son. But, unlike the prodigal,
Sam refuses to return, and, worse than
MI, he ignores his ancestry. So mote
it be. Amen.
But look We here! Sam threatens
to chain us perpetually to Pepin and
Buffalo counties. Hear him.
But really, Abner, if Pierce County,
beg pardon, if yot, should insist on

District there is no doubt but what the
legislature would accommodate you.
In that event, how would "Pierce,

very much like that Of a hen walking

The TariE...Capltal.

John G. Drew, the New Jersey State
Grange lecturer, is pitching into the
tariff question generally. 1t is not
easy to comprehend him in all his
wanderings, nor do we believe that
he himself has very well settled ideas
about the tariff. For instance, were
he to attempt to draft a bill contain
ing all the provisions for tariff that
he would recommend, there would be
no end to amendments, even in his
own judgement.
One conclusion, however, he seems
to have arrived at. lie says that
american capital now needs no pro-
lection" From this we infer that, in
his opinion, the time was when Amer
lean capital did need protection. Now
if that time ever existed, when was it!
When did it cease! Again, how, let
US inquire, can you protect the labor
er, or the operative, without at the
same time protecting capital! Capital
is just as free to one as it is to another,
so far as we can discover, and labor
becomes capital When properly direct
ed. In our opinion, then, if American
capital needs no protection, American
industry needs no protection, since it
is impossible to separate them. A
millionaire to-day may become 4 beg
gar tomorrow. The laborer of to-day
may, by SON unexpected event, reyel
in wealth tomorrow; and, at the far
thest, he may amass wealth in few
years. Capital is constantly changing
hands, and it knows no rest, any more
than do the waters of the rolling riy-
er.
AS we have before said, this tariff
question is one not we'll understood,
and one on which our best statesmen
are prone to differ. Results have not
met expectation when changes have
been made. Abolish the tariff on a
given article or commodity, and Its
value is enhanced in the country where
it is produced, SO that what previous
ly was paid as duty, finds its way out
of the country. This is too frequent
ly the case. After long years of ex-
perience,as well as expedients, this
question is still unsettled.
On the whole local interests seem to
be the governing principle. A Mas
sachusetts man wants one thing, and a
Wisconsin man another, while a Penn
sylvanian is not suited with either.
The tariff question, therefore, is not
one of principle. bnt of interest in all
its bearings. 1t makes no difference
whether its primary object is protec-
ton, or revenue. When you discuss
it, it is narrowed down to its effects
financially. In this light it ever has
been, and we believe it ever will be
discussed, and just what is the policy
for the county at large, it is quite
impossible to determine.

Clifton.-.Its Early History.
BY AN OLD SETTLER.

tits now over full quarter OF acen-
tury since l first spread my tent under
lofty oak tree, very near where Mr..
Cheesbro's front gate now stands,
as the first settler north of the Greek
in what is now the town of Clifton.
1t was about the first of September,
1850. The country from the small
village of Willow river, now Hudson,
to the Kinnickinnic where the old
Clifton Mills now stand, was a track
less waste of prairie. brush, and tim
Der.
For nearly three weeks after rails
ing the body of my log house Il had
one man to helpm at this, whilst pre-
pairing it for use) the sound OF no hui
man voice greeted the quietude of
that solitary domain; but the deer and
wolf often made merry at my mode
Of lighting up their highway, for it
seemed these ''varmints' had sort
Of road or path from grove TO grove,
which passed very near to my Sleep
ing place, and the campfire annoyed
them, and caused some snorting and
bowling, and put them to the trouble
of making a circuit, to avoid me-
sometimes so very near, that The tread
of their feet in the still dark night
reminded me that was not alone in
the wilderness. But Notwithstanding
the prejudice that some Of these in-
habitants entertained against our kind
of people, it were better to tolerate this
rude reception than to endure sepul-
chral quietude and desolation. In
those days being familiar with border
life, aud somewhat acquainted with
the ways Of brutes and savages, too, l
came not to be terrified by trihes but
to stay Every thing went merrily
enough during the beautiful fall and
winter, until the spring time, when
the real King Of Clifton, the Rattle
snake, came up from his home in the
cliffs to besiege my premises, and, as
it proved in after years, to dispute
inch by inch the sovereignty Of that
beautiful grove. In the warm sunny
days of May these creatures became
so numerous and social-some Of
them as large around in the middle
as the leg of my boot, that the sound
of their shrill deadly warning terrified
me. II is a matter Of wonder to this
day, how all Of these surly reptiles
should be crowding our pathway, and
dangling about our heels for so many
years. and no one TO be bitten by
them.
And now lest II be deemed egotism,
as our pulpit orators are wont to say,
we will turn attention TO other folks
and other things.
TO BIZ CONTINUED.

Eolino's harp sings sweetly.
But very sad and low
Eoline's heart is weeping,
No gladness doth it know.
Why mournost thou, Eollne,
why ST so ably there;
Beside thy easement yonder,
Eoline young and fart
Methinks in scenes Of gladness,
Should thy young life be spent
Too lovely thou for grieving,
For joy not grief thou'rt meant,
Still sweet and clear, Eoline
Sends forth upon the air
A voice Of tender sorrow--
oflove and deep despair
Her pallid lips arc telling
The story Of her loss
A cloud Of sorrow sweepeth
Her features pale, across,
She singeth of her husband,
Who sleeps beneath the yews
Beside him, daisy-covered,
Her babe is buried too.
Alone, widow, childless,
What wonder that she grieves7--
That songs Of sadness only,
Her heart forever weaves1
Eoline fair is fading
Is passing 10 her home,
Where soon she'll greet her loved oncs
Who wait for her to come.
