l. That supreme peace that usually Fills the Mill
| waukee bosom has been turned into a troubled
sea recently over Ina action Of the Board of Al
dermen in the appointment ct School Commits
sioner. To clearly understand the casa: the
reader must first be made aware OF the iact that
the schools, and everything else in milwaukee,
that s run by the politicians are made subsorv1-
| ent to their ambition and wishes. and hence it
| is that We sometimes put upon tho boards roar
| ing farce, when it would ba manlfesuy to the
| credit and pleasure Of both performers and au-
| ditors to have respectable drama enacted. -
The very last thing Of tho sort Was the ap-
| pointment Of party By the name Of llallon,
whose given name ia Patrick to be School Com
missioner from the Fifth Ward, and the banish-
ment Of highly-educated and experienced gen.
tleman. Patricks qualifications for the position

OF him ~ plainly as his neighbors do, it would

ors to the management OF q 1umber-yard, he
would find full scope for Ill his educational
talent. Certain it is that the good people Of the
Fifth Ward are quito uuanimouslyo Of the opinion
that the Board OF Aldermen have committed q
great outrage upon them aud their school inter
ests, and slx or seven hundred OF them hage
publicly called upon the aforesaid Mal1on
through the public prints to resign. But Malion

l. Tho annual election OF officers FOR tho Young
Mems Association comes OF Monday aud. ~
there arc three tickets in the field, there Is !:
naturally considerable o1citament in the city to-
day orbr tho CANVASS. So tar as understand
the matter, the controversy is not basod upon
any principle, or upon tho proposition to adopt
any different line Of policy from that which. has
been heretofore pursued, but it is simply
scramble for tho Offices and the pride OF control
ling al organization that has grown to be credit
to the city Each one Of the tickets s excellent,
and, no matter which wins. tho Association will
be certain OF . choice lot OF officials for the en-
suing year. 1t ,is agreat pity that all Of them
cannot be elected. =
THE ST. PAUL RAILROAD ELECTION. :F
For the past few days there hes been consider

OF the tribe. It is said that Sage. !
Cowdery, James, and their associates, have !
always been able 10 control the management Of |
tha Company, and that they shape its policy to
suit themselves from the Wall street standpoint,
and often to the great detriment OF the road

holders- Two years ngo, when tho rates Of
freight were advanced, right in tue face Of the
at the dictatton Of the Wall street gentlemen
and against tho emphatic protest OF Messrs.
MITCHELL Merrill, and other Western stock
holders. Sage is q donineering, aggressive
fellow, full Of pluck, audacity. and brains, and
is always willing to steer the ship, il he can get
at the wheel, but Mitchell is clearly OF tho
opinion that Sage had better now stand back
little, where he can see just as we'll, and lot

We arc Just now witnessing the extraordinary
'pectaclo Of two newspapers using nnkind and
,arcastio language to each other: The Daily
Vens, which ls the oldest Democratic daily in
he State, and which has always been noted for
t. high-toned dignity and severe chastity of lam
mage, has far forgotten what is becoming to
AZ pattern of proprety that it has callod its
'ert httle rival, the Commercial Times. some
cry unpleasant names. Tho Times ratorts in
ind, exhibiting even greater pathological power,
{ possible, than tho Ne,cs. aud furnishing somo !
pecinens Of rough-and-tumb1o word-painting
Iuite superior to anything Horace Greeley ever
i'd in his controversies with Henry j. Raymond. !
What makes it more unpleasant is that both
heets belong to the same patty-tho Reformers
and there is danger 'of the public believing
that each one says. "

a Saturdays and Sundays, is u qualification that
