or permits to be used or who sells or
offers to sell any other books for the
public schools That such a bill
should create considerable general
and deep interest," throughout the
State is not strange, but to say the
people are universally in favor of it is
telling the world that Wisconsin is a
nest of fools The State should note
the fact that the trio of Madison pa
pers fought in the same ring for the
success of this bill 1t is supposed
that in the event of its success they
were to divide the spoils. Whether
this be true or not it was peculiarly a
Madison venture. That city appears
to think the remainder of the State
exists only to feed it. Its people are
so intent upon absorbing the wealth
of other portions of the State through
schemes known as steals and through
the tricks of ring politicians, that the
idea of making Madison an important
city through commercial advantages,
or by creating great manufacturing
interests seems never to be thought
of by them. Madison is always for
the man and the measure that will
draw the most from other portions of
the Stste to Madison. She is right
in looking specially to her own inter
ests but her way Of doing it is wrong
and tends to keep her second.rate
town.
But we are losing sight of the
school-book bill Supt. Soaring it
seems is not ring man. In the for
nation of the bill he was put in the
harness, but he kicked out of the
traces He has put into oar hands a
lengthy circular entitled "The Text
Book Conspiracy" in which he
thoroughly exposes the scheme. He
is Democrat, too that is, he was
elected as "Reformer." Mr.. Scar
ing, in the coursr of his expose de-
votes considerable space to bill in
troduced by Hon. d. r. Sylvester. of
this county. Mr.. Sylvester's object
was to defeat the monopoly by the
substitution of his bill. Possibly the
defeat of the whole scheme is owing
to that attempt. Grant County in
former years has saved the State
many thousands of dollars. We re-
call an instance when the Hon. j.
Allen Barber with a halt hour
speech killed $4,000 steal, which
was of the same nature as this book
steal, and which we know would have
passed but for that speech. At the
last session we know that Carter and
Book saved the State many thousands
but VIC did not know that Sylvester
had done so much until we received
this circular from Mr.. Soaring. We
believe our State Superintendent is
entitled to the thanks OF the people of
the State for his hard work in the
right direction and his compliment to
Mr.. Sylvester as ga candid, disinter
ested, and honorable man, who fully
understood and strongly opposed the
Senate bill, is wholly merited. That
measure was killed last winter Why
are the Madison people keeping the
subject before the people? Do they
expect merely to apologize and be ex-
cuse1 for their own course? or are
they endeavoring to make the people
think they should yet give them con-
tract? They will surely fail whatever
their attempt and for our part we will
be as amiable as possible if they will
only give us rest"

In recent case in the Queens Bench the
following scene occurred: Mr.. WilberfoTce
appeared for the plaintiff. 1t was, he said,
demurrer to two paragraphs in the de-
feudant's statement Of defence. The action
was for libel, and the statement Of claim
alleged that the plaintiff was formerly a
member OF the lodge of Freemasons Of
which the defendant was also member.
The statement set ont letter written and
published by the defendant about the I'M
successful election to the lodge of certain
persons who were proposed for members.
Field, j.: Are you'a Mason2 Wilberforce !:
No. Field, j.: Are you, Mr.. Cave? Cave,
@. c.: Yes. Field, j.: 1t is contrary to the
rules Of Masonry to come into a court of
law on such matter. 1t will be much bet
ter to ask the Grand Master to interfere and
decide the question. Cave: We are per-
fectly ready to do so. WHEREFORE said the
plaintiff had made application to the Grand
Master, and he had said that it was case
for court of law. Field, j.: There must
be some error about it. Looking to the mat
ter in dispute, think it is emlnently mat
ter for the Grand Master. Cave: quite
agree. Field, j.: Let it stand over to SO
before the Grand Master. From what [ see
of it, it is case that the Grand Master will

III. v. Redfleid in Cincinnati Commerce

ILL., v. kcunelQ In CluClllliaLi SolHinisia'I
We have fallen upon evil times. Repudi-
alton seems no longer a crime. In some
States OF the Union, notably in Missouri and
Illinois, we find the authorities in certain
counties seeking to escape the payment OF
lust public debts, and backed up in their ini-
guilty by the body OF the tax paycrs. That
the money has been had and expended for
the public good is nothing, but il a way to
get out OF payment through some flaw in the
law can be found, it is everything Some
slight technical defect in the law authorizing
the borrowing of money is made an excuse
to repudiate the debt after having profted
by the loan, and paid interest upon 1t for
some wears. Counties and small corpora
tons, and even States, adopt means to swim
die their creditors that il done by an indi-
yidual would consgn him to the peniten-
tiary. But corporations, having no souls,
are supposed to be exempt from punish
ment in this world and the next. Whether
punishment, temporal or eternal, Is to fol-
low crime of this sort we will not stop TO
discuss, but re do know that these default
ing and rascally corporations will not get
hold of other peoples money again unless
they 60 at it like any other highwaymen-
knock down their victim and rob him. BY
the way, which is the most reprehensible,
to borrow money and then sneak out OF its
payment because of trifling technically,
OF which the lender had not the slightest stls-
picion, or knock him down and rifle his
pockets1 In either case you get bis money
for nothing, which seems TO be the main
point with some corporations, local and

therefore, he was not endorsed, ana II ne
had been it would not have been an neon
sistency on the part OF the meeting because
if his views on the debt had then been ex'
pressed they were unknown to US.
Neither can we help. II we desired to do
so, General Malone coming to US and
adopting our views. Nor does the fact that
he has done SO pledge or bind us to
support him, for there are thou
sands of men in Virginia who arc
equally as well qualified and better
fitted for the Office Of Governor who enter
tain precisely the same views upon the pub
lie debt as General Malone does" men
who have shown their faith by their works "
in days gone by. Besides, we think it i'm
proper that any OF the candidates for the
office Of Governor should have attempted to
Yorcstall the action OF the Convention by an
expression Of opinion on any OF the great
questions Of State policy upon which It is
the duty OF the Convention to speak. The
better and more proper course would have
been to wait and let the people by their
delegates lay down a platform, and then the
nominee could stand upon 1t or stand out OF
the way. A VOTER FROM LEE.

iayoring an equitable resdiustment OF the
g public debit It did adopt resolution
instructing its delegates to vote against
General William Malone so long as his
name is before the Convention. Yet there
ia nothing strange, inconsistent, or, as the
old pedagogue would say, "prodigioa.s,"
in this action. The people Of Lee are in
favor OF readiustment. They have always
been opposed to the funding bill. They
have often said so at the polls by their votes,
and il they and General Malone stand ON
the same platform, he has come to them'
and not they to him. Is there anything
inconsistent in the people OF Lee, after
adopting resolutions favoring reSdiustment,
saving that William Malone was not their
choice for Governor? The meeting in Lee
was held July the I'd. Mahone's views on
the public .debt~wer expressed July the
4th; made public afterwards, Before that
time bis views, il he had any, were locked
UP in his own breast, only to be brought
forward and made public on u convenient
occasion and for a purpose best known to
himself. And il not for the purpose of
forestalling the action OF the August Con-
vention, or to beguiling counties into sup
porting him which otherwise would not
have done so, then for what purpose?
Why has he been silent so long? Why
express his views at this time OF all others
AS the old pedagogue would say, "it is pro
digious." The funding bill was passed in
1871, and has entered more or less into every
legislative canvass since that time. Why
has not this great friend and beneiactor OF
Virginia spoken before? II he had done so
perhaps the meeting in Lee would have been
saved the Inconsistency to which the Patron
refers. The friends OF General Malone
claim that he is a prominent politician, the
true Virginian, deeply interested in the vel
fare OF his State, the greater father Of the
Conservative party; that he made Gilbert

from all the evils of RadlcaIism, &c.
