The CadetShip.-It' is always a
pleasure to give credit where credit is
due. It is very generally conceded
that the appointment of Master Frank
Lameroux of Plover, to the position
of cadet at West Point, is one emf
nently fit to be made. Frank passed
an excellent examination, and while
his competitors all stood well in their
examinations, some even surprising
Mr.. Lameroux in some points, still We
hear of but one expressed sentiment
by them all, and that is, Frank ought
to have it." We want to say word
relative to the appointee. Mr.. Lame
roux is young man of twenty years,
of excellent parts, and in every res
pect a gentleman. In Plover, where
he has been known from boyhood, no
young man stands higher in the esti-
nation of the people. A spirit of
self-reliance has been a feature of his
boyhood. Idleness found no compan-
ionship with him ever. When he had
nothing else to occupy his time, his
books were his constant companions
for he looked ahead to time when he
should be able to assume a responsible
ity and take an active part in the great
glory of life, and he was determined to
act no mean part in the great drama.
He attended the Normal school at
Oshkosh, and during vacations put in
his surplus time upon his fathers farm
near Buena Vista, breaking the stub
born soil with yokes of cattle, or gath
ering hay upon the marshes adjoining.
He broke some twenty acres alone,
and in all his toll, whether alone or
with companions, he was ready to camp
upon the meadow or the marsh, as
CHEEKY as though beneath the paternal
roof. The past winter he has been
engaged in teaching at Colby on the
line of the Wis. Cen. r. r. with the
best success. The young life of Mr.
Lameroux is in glraring contrast with
the young lives Of scores of young
men to-day whose years are being vast
ed and whose only ambition seems to
be to wear away their years in idleness
and dissipation. We are glad to say
these words in behalf Of one so worthy
as the recent appointee to West Point,
for we are sure his coming life. if
health be spared him, will be one of
honor to himself and the district he
in the Military school of the
nation. Success and health attend
him to the close of his studies, and
an honorable and useful course there
after, is the wish of all his friends who
are host in the land.

Conductor Rose the imperfect symbol

of which we have heard the girls sing
SO frequently, we slipped aboard the 2
D. m. train bound east last Tuesday

Conductor Rose was in full bloom !;

water along the road operating in a
most salutary way for the unfolding Of
all that is genial and savory in his hui

Rose is big-hearted fellow; we
should think his heart would weigh
about SIX pounds. Why he don't pick
a lily somewhere and 60 into the bo-
quet business is past our comprehen-
sion but, as we were going to re-
mark, we reached Plover at 3 o'clock.
We found the little hamlet alive, for
it was election day, and the contend

number of the 'srum' dragons fear

The good people of Plover have
been subjected to reproach long enough
so they think, and SO say We all, be-
cause of the deviltry perpetrated by
whiskey poured into non-residents who
would fail to ''git" after incarcerating

Try it Once. The manufacturers
of the Best Chemical Soierataes,
Messrs. d. B. DeLand & Co, show
their readiness to have the merits of
til ; article tested, for they authorize
all who sell it at retail to refund the
money when. by fair trial it does not
prove to be as recommended. That is
reair and shows their confidence in the
article. It is better than Soda and
cheaper than Baking Powder.

HALT.-The Democrat noticed, last week,
the fact that the plan Of Mr. Wetzel, archl'
tect of Dauville, for The construction OF ths
new Jail, had been adopted. His estima-
sed cost, we learn, is about SlsS.Ov
There were other plans submitted which
1t IS also known that Mr.. Wetzel's plan
was not favored by moro than ono Commis-
sioner, who brought his colleague into the
harness at the last moment. The differ
ence in The price Of Mr.. Wetzel's plan, and
another considered superior to his, is up
wards oi twenty thousand dollars. The
best plan being estimated TO cost the least
money. Whether the people will tamely
Bubmit TO the dictation Of Messrs. Reitz,
Henrie, Elchholtz, Purdy and few other
Democrats who have already formed ring
to build the Jail, remains TO be seen. We
rather think that the taxpayers would be
the persons Justly entitled TO receive the
benefit of the percentages allowed for cash
payment for material, instead of few well
know grabbers, who are ever ready 10 ap-
propriate any spoils that may be laying
around loose, or that can be adroitly ex.
tracted from the pockets Of the people.

The Successful Physician.

There is probably no man to whom the
community owe so much as to the honest,
tair-spoken physician, who does his actual
duty both to himself and to his patients.
Really skillful physicians are not so numcr-
Gus that their virtues need no mention,
and hence the advertisements of DR.. K. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, may well claim the
readers attention. DR.. Pierce is Il type of
a class of men who obtained success by
careful and welldirected effort, not attempt
ing too much, or creating false ideas as to
ability. The only reliable physician in
these days of complicated disorders and
high-pressurs living is the Specialist, :"
the man who understands his one branch
of the business. Such in his line is DR..
Pierce. For the benefit of his readers he
has written q Common Sence Medical
Advisers" :" which is well worth reading by
those who need such work With stric.
business honor, high professional skill,
reasonable fees, and large corps Of COM
pentent assistants, DIR. Pierce will doubtless
make his name familiar as "household
words"

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CoNvENTIo.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
The action Of the Republican State Con-
yention at Harrisburg last week was
characterized throughout by the utmost
harmony. 1t was an unusually harmon
ious gathering which in itself argues well
for the future. At the llartranft caucus,
called on Tuesday evening, almost every
delegate then in Harrisburg put IN an
appearance, and when his name was
proposed IN open convention next day as
the choice Of Pennsylvania for the Presl
dency, there was not a dissenting voice
Although the entire programme had beer
arranged previous to the assembling oil the
Convention, there was no one present VINO
desired to make any material change there
in. and all questions were settled wllhou
discussion, aud by single rtrd roce Note
In this particular there was marked
contrast between this Convention aud th'
one that assembled at Lancaster. lher
certainly cannot be any objections to tn
platform adopted. In the light ot I'd
present day, and in the face oil oihciai COZ
ruption now being revealed, the first plan
oc the platform may not be regarded sim
ply as a glittenng generality. 1t mean
that the Republican party has the sPlr'
and determination, so far as 1t has 10
mower, to demand the exposure and pun
ishment of every officer guilty ot mala'
miuistration.

LEGISLATIVE OUTRAGE-On Trida,
last the State Senate adjourned over tc
Tuesday night, simply because, having
completed all the business before it, il had
nothing TO do. The House has accom-.
pllshed very little, and has not even passed
upon the appropriation bill. The Pitts.
bursh Gazette says: at is perfectly un.
derstood, that the cause Of the delay is the
desire of the Democracy 10 remain in ses-
sion till the Centennial opens, in order to
have grand jamboree at Philadelphia
The hundred days allowed for the extra
session have expired, and yet the purpose
Is TO continue 10 session some fif:y days
longer, in order that the members NAV
dead-head il through the Centennial. This
will cost the State from $3.50. 600 to $3.50.
GOO. IL should be noticed that the Senate
has no part or lot in this matter. II has
used It's power TO the utmost to force au ad-
Journment in the hundred days 1t gave
notice that after April LIST, it would hot re.
ceive bills from the House but this is met
by holding back the Appropriation bill, SO
ms to force the Senate TO break its own rule.
We never knew Legislative session 10 be
prolonged, at large expense to the people,
under the inspiration of so small a motive.
Whatever Of dignity may attach to an at
tendance at the Centennial, as a body,
could be realized by adjourning to meet at
the particular time required. Bot fearing
that this would be pre-eminently transpa.
rent, the House fritters away its time over
nothing, in order to remain in regular
session till the day arrives for the Centep-
nial opening.
We regard this entire affair as "A gross
outrage on the people. 1t would be better
for the members to at once vote $50. 900
for the expenses Of their jamboree, ,-un.
constitutional as this might be. We give
notice that the robbery of the people by
the continuance Of the session will be re.
membered, and the Democracy will be held
TO a strict accountability fo- this outrage,
They were elected on n cry of REFORM
one particular feature of which was the
curtailment of legislative expense. They
at once broke their pledges, when in power
by increasing the number of Legislative |
officials, but that was a mere bagatelle,
compared with this last steal Their ef |
fort to extend the session will, Of course,
prove successful, as they hold the power,
but to do this from a merely sordid motive
is in itself so intolerably stupid and cor
rupt, that we have no language strong
enough to express our apprehension Of it.
1t is simply the widest description of steal
ing under the forms of law.

A STORM BREWING IN THE PBNNSYL-
vANIA DELEGATION TO ST. LOUISA
storm is brewing in the Democratic delega'
ton of Pennsylvania, TO the National Con-
yentlon at St. Loais. Towards the close
of the proceedings of the recent State Con-
yeutiou at Lancaster, resolution was
passed requiring the delegation 10 vote as
a unit. Itis now claimed by the dissen'
ters that this WAS set up thing by the
Wallace men, who had the upper hand IN
the convention, TO checkmate any prospec'
tive divisions in the vote of the delegation.
The friends of Judge Black were urgent
that that pillar of the Democracy should
be set up as the fay0rite choice of Pennsyl
yania, first, last, and always. This plan
however. was knocked in the head by lay
inytbe proposition on the table aud t
clirch the matter the resolution directing
united vote was passed. An attempt t
revive the effort 10 indorse Judge B!ac
was thus anticipated and lhwarted be
sides, it WAS thought that such actlo
would produce concert of movement o.
the part of the delegation. Senator Wa
lace SAYS that if any person wished to tax
the responsibility of setting aside the e'
press directions Of the convention, The
must suffer the consequences.
