N0N-PAYING AND SLOW-PAY-
ING SUBSCRIBERS.

The names Of advance paying sub
scribers and the times to which they
have paid, together with those hereto
fore given, must suffice to convince de-
lnquents that we have advance paying
subscribers who pay promptly at the
advance rates. We codh wish that it
might convince them that they too
should pay up, and become advance
paying subscribers at advance rates.
With the payment of what is due us on
subscription we could pay all demands
against the Office, meet current expen-
ses, and improve the TELEGRAPH MAX
ing it still better paper and thereby
increasing its usefulness and we trust
its circulation.
Having given the names of some adj
vance paying subscribers we think if
we give the names of any others it will
be of non-paying and sloW-paying sub
scribers. We have an abundance of
such for samples and we are not sure
but that it is our duty TO give their
names to the public whether they look
well in print or not But as we prefer
payment we shall wait for time and
see whether payment viii be made.

THE STATE ART EASEL.

j
| The State Centennial COMMITTEES
have granted Racine the honor O
presenting the State Art Easel al
| the Centennial Exnosition. The
lady who has this in charge, already
has a mos. beautiful design devel-
oped for the reception of the works
of art. We are sure the labor Of
producing this portion Of Wisconsin's
work could not have been entrusted
to better hands, or one more .enthu-
sIastic in producing work Of real
naerit for such an important occasion.
The Art Easel is a handsome
carved design in black walnut and
rosewood, standing eight feet six,
IN height, and three feet six, in
width at its base, having pockets"
at the lower part to receive the
works of meritorious artists Of the
State. The design is by Mr.. Fish
er of W. a. Porter's furniture estab-
lishment. It cannot be described
as fully as it's elaborate carvings
and unique design would require, to
make complete zen picture intelli-
gible to the reader. The oval pan
els or the pockets will each be filled
with an oil painting by Racine
artists, Mr.. w. H. Amos, Mr.
PAUL, and Mr.. Alfred Paine, the
latter now ofChicago, will each con-
tribute to this portion of the finish.
Above the pockets. is what will be
called a memorial shrine, opening
with two handsomely carved doors,
within which will be the names of
the ladies who are members OF the
Association, surrounded by paint
ings in oil, the work Of Mrs. III. S.
Durand. Above this division is a
carved circle for the Photographs of
the gentlemen Of Racine, leading
members Of the Improvement Asso-
ciationo On either side are two
carved eagles, and finishing in the
centre with elaborate carved work
enclosing the word "Racine." Sur
rounding all will be q carved repre-
sentation ofthe Badger, in relief.
The work is in the charge of Mrs..
81. s. Durrnd, and we are sure that
it will meet with general approba-
ton, if it is carried out with the
beauty and taste with which it has
been commenced, The whole design
and workmanship is the work Of
Racine artists, ana in itself is
worthy representation Of art, Of
which the city may well be proud.

Last evening he called an iln pr0mptu meeting OF
the patrons OF the common sen DOL and gave them
a lecture upon the ''needs OF the times.'' Also an
eloquent discourse upon the duties and responsi-

The meeting was held al Evans echGol house

An interesting class exercise was given by Miss

The address Of Mr. Flett containeA many i'm

respects his views differed from the views OF his
audience. As consequence, short discussion
occurred upon the propriety OF raising State

Salem Library question to avoid personalities,

AS you have opened the columns Of your paper

"As you have closed your columns against per-

might be to me to be personal" he would have
come nearer correct representation of the POSI-
ton of the editor, and ii he had done as he saidhe
would, he would have written a much better let
Ter. His communication is so severely personal
and that too outside of a fair discussion of the
Salem Library question that there can be buttwo
questions in relation to its admission. First, to
refase it sdmission; second, TO admit it under
protest. We are the more surprised that A. d. G.
should place us under such alternative as always
previous to bis replies 20 w his communications
have been commercially free from personalities.
Under the circumstances we conclude to admit
the communication under protest

rather ungenerous for A. D. O. TO hold forth to-
the public by implication that we have, And, as
to our becoming stakeholder Of tho Salem Lii
brary and contributing TO make il free, we had

could become stockholders or members OF the
Salem Library. If I'VE wers right IN this respect
these questions and what follows them were Out.

constitution and rules of the Library Association
would allow us to become stockholder or mem.

desire to become either, nor have any desire to
take part in the discussion whether the Salem
Library shall be stock company or free library

Correspondence In reIatssn to Salem Library 4
The correspondence through the Telegraph in
relation to the sa.em Library was introduced By
A. D. c. by speaking CT the Library and OF the
annual meeting.
Next came o communication dated Fox River,
Jan. ~, 1916, and signed ". Accompanying this
communication came letter over the name ofsa
well known respectable citizen OF Salem asking
the publication OF his communication, saying he
thought its publication would do good, and that
for obvious reasons he withheld hts name from
the communication. We could not see the 57i-
GUS reasons for withholding the name, but the
communication being respectful in languag VIC.
published it as asked. Perhaps we erred in this.
but # we did, we erred in common with all other
editors under like circumstances.
Notwl.he landing the name Being withheld, "A.
d. g. thought he traced the communication By. its
r-marks to the writer. Perhaps he did and
perhaps he did not. We arst thought he had
traced theeaE- marks to the wrong man, but w
apparently admitting in his nezt communication
that be had found theright man we partly chang
ed our opinion. At present we strongly incline
to the opinion that A. D. c. has mistaken his man.
If he has, it may account IN part for the state
ments as to facts made by A. d. O. and w differ
ing so widely
And now we will again say that the Telegraph
will be open for fair discussion of all sides of
the question whether the Salem Library shall be
a stock-compa1y library a free library. And
we will also say again that to obtain admission
the communications must be subscribed by the
name or the full initials OF the writer's, and free
from personalities, eTiminations, recriminations
and all matters outside the library question:.

tsan recently denied that Tilden re-
fused to sign the call for the great
Union meeting in New York in 1861,
but Gen. Dix has settled that point
by writing the following, which gives
information within his own knowl-

SEAFrELD, FoRT HAMPTON, July 1876.
DEAR SIR: Yours is received, and
/ hasten 20 reply to it. Mr. Tilden
did not unite in the call for the great
Union meeting in New York after the
attack and surrender of Fort Sumter.
But he refused to attend it, though
urgently solicited to by one of his own
political friends The meeting was
called for the purpose Of sustaining
the Government, and to provide for
sending troops to Washington, which
was thought to be in danger of an
attack by the Confederates. This fact
was publicly stated when Mr.. Tilden
was candidate for Governor in 1874.

The Cheapest Soap that can be used for
the following reasons:
1st.-one bar will go as far as two of any
other,
2d.-Only half the usual rubbing being
required, there is a saving of more
than the entire cost of the Soap IN
labor alone.
3d.-The clothes are made Sweet, Clean
and white without Boiling or Scald-
ing, thus all injury to them is avoid
ed. There is a saving in fuel and
hard work, and the washing is done
in about half the usual time.
1t is also guaranteed under a penalty of
fifty dollars not TO iniure the clothes or
hands, and as one trial will enable any
person to ascertain the truth of these
statements, it would never pay the pro-
prietor to engage in an extensive system
OF advertising and claim such decided
merit for his Soap unless he knew from
positive experience that it would prove to
be in every respect what is claimed for it.
This is also superior Soap for Toilet
and Shaving purposes.
