THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
the most important duties OF our
State legislature is to reapportion tho
State4nto Senate and Assembly DIS
tricts under the census OF 1875.
Considerable specializing is done Is
to how this Congressional District
will be divided. Iowa county now
has more than her share Of repre-
sentation, and must lose something.
Below we give what the Madison
correspondent of the Darlington Re-
publican has to say on the subject.
To be joined with Richland in o
Senatorial District would be accept
able to our people, we have no
doubt. Certainly it ought to be to
Republicans, as we should then be
assured a Republican Senator in al
most every instance. The CORES
pondent writes:
"Tke other changes in the Third
Congressional District will probably
be as follows: Iowa and Richland
counties will form one Senatorial
District, and have between them
three and probably four Assembly
men. Grant county will retain its
Senator, but will lose one Assembly
man. Crawford county will prob
ably be attached to Vernon for a
Senatorial District, and have one
Assemblyman.
"If this division is made, figure
the political complexion Of the Rep
resentatives Of the District as fol-
lows: Three Republican Senators ;
three Republican Assemblymen from
Grant county; three from Iowa and
Richland counties. two from Green
county; one from Lafayette county
with one Democrat from Lafayette ;
one from Crawford; and if four
members should be given Iowa and
Richlaud, one from them"

DoouSDAY AND WHISKY

Every supposed member of the
st. Louis whisky ring living in or
near that city has now been tried,
and convicted. Ex-Collector Ma
guire was the last of the list. Hs
pleaded guilty to several of the
counts against him, and thus ended
the proceedings against him, except
that, like all the rest, be is still
unsentensed. Next will come tho
Babcock trial. Avery has been
tried and convicted already. Over
fifty indictments were found original
ly, mostly against distilers and rec
filters, and all the higher revenue
officers. Thus far there has not been
single acquittal. This speaks well
for the District Attorney Dyer. 1t
shows that he presented no case before
the Grand Jury without good reason
therefor, and that he prosecuted the
cases with ability and judgment.
The conviction of Mckee showed
that the Government suffered no
loss in the dismissal of Henderson
Broadhead, who succeeded him,
made good his place, and Mr. Dyer
himself was the main reliance of the
Government.
For a premonition of coming events
in Chicago, St Louis and Milwaukee,
when sentence-day comes. we must
look at Indianapolis. The convicted
Government officers were sent to the
Penitentiary for two years, one of
them for two and a half, and all
coupled with hard labor and fines.
The notwithstanding members of
the ring were sent to Jail for periods
ranging from six to eight months.
Judge Gresham made the following
discrimination between the two
classes;
lie drew decided contrast between officers
in the employ uf the Government and distil.
lers. he FORMER are trusted servants in tho
( employ and pay OF the United States while
the latter are not trusted but arc watched b,

greviuuS crime. and deserved corresponding
increase in degree of punishment. They can.
not claim that they were tempted hy want or

are substituted by the above.
So far as these amendments 60,
they seem to us better than the pro-
visions Of the present law. But we
have favored more radical change
than is proposed, and one which
would require an absolute substitu-
ton of new law. We would abol-
ish the Board of Commissioners, as
now constituted, as useless, as having
no power, and as too expensive. We
would have one railroad commission
er to be elected by the people, we
would make the A:torney-General a
legal ex-officio member of the Board,
whose duty it should be to prosecute
all suits in the interest of the people
without extra compensation; and we
| would hive the Governor act as adj
vising member of the Board.
Then we would provide that all
| claims for damage OF injury under
the law should be made through the
Board and prosecuted, when found
necessary, at the expense of the
State.
We believe that the incorporation
of the above propositions into the
new law would make it infinitely su-
perior to the Potter law, and more
satisfactory to the people. AS now
constituted, and with the powers
granted the commissioners, they con.
stitute first-class bureau for draw
ing pay and riding on free passes
But if the result of their work has
been Of any practical good, we have
it yet to learn. And this is not say
ing that they have not acted in good
faith. They are hampered by the
law, and one man can obtain all the
information which can be gathered
by the three. Let us have something
practical. If the commissioners are
to be retained, give them some power
If they are to have no power, why
keep them before the people as Q
target to be shot at B. Oshkosh NORTH.

NEW RAILROAD LAW.

1t Is not necessary to state to our
readers that two years ago the
NORTHWESTERN favored the passage
of the so-called Potter law. At the
same time it stated its reasons, the
principal of which were, that the
people demanded some more efficient
law than those then on the statute
book that all the other laws pro-
posed were defective, and that none
of them would make the issue be-
tween the railroads and the people in
a proper form to be brought before
the courts. The dividing line was
as to the right and power of the
State to exercise absolute control
over all the corporations of its own
creation. The Potter law contained
within itself all the necessary condi-
tions upon which to make up a case.
The case has been argued and decid-
ed in favor of the people.
At the time of the adoption OF tho
law, neither its author or friends
claimed that it was anything but an
experiment; they did not know
whether the rates fixed were too
high or too low; they did not know
whether the system of iron-clad rates
for each specified distance was prac-
ticable or not. They had no basis
of facts to enable them to judge.
But they said: Let US pass the law
as the best thing we can do, and then
amend as experience shall show its
imperfections.
Last winter the organization Of
Changers took the matter in hand
and, without proper investigation,
decided to oppose any amendment.
In this they seem to have been gov
erned rather by desire to show
their power than to do justice; they
were acting as politicians, rather
than rs wise and impartial citizens
having a common interest with the
whole community. They allowed q
few men to work upon their pride
and supposed self-interest as class,
but to their lasting injury as citizens.
For as citizens, we all stand affected
alike, whether farmers belonging to
the Grange, as farmers not belonging
to the Grange, or as mechanics, mer-
chants and manufacturers. Our in
terests are identical, and the same
principles of government which APP
ply to one should apply to all.
This winter an amendment has
been introduced to the Potter law,
which is SO radical as to amount to
its repeal, excepting as to retaining
in power the present Board of Com
missioners. 1t matters little. how
ever. whether it is called repeal or
an amendment. The real question is
and should be, Is it right The
principal features Of the new bill are
rs follows:
1.-The Commissioners ere granted all nee
es,ary power 20 examine Into neglect or yiols-
iinns Of law and the operation AND manage
wcut OF the several railroad corporations
2-Reports are required IN I've made prompt

TnE New York Tribune says that
Democrats sailed under the Tag of
reformers and independents till they
had won the power, and now toss
the banner of reform contemptuously
away 1t is gratifying to know
that the Tri6uass eyes are opened to
this fact, 1t is one of the papers that
were deluded into belief that the
Democratic party might be made the
agency OF patriotic and progressive
purposes. Now it sees its mistake,
and has the candor to admit il.
