From the Dunn County News, of re-
cent date. we clip the following bio
graphical sketch of Hon. Fl. E.
HoUGHToN -
Mr. Houghton is no stranger to the
people of the Eighth Judicial Circuit.
He is native of New York; came to
Wisconsin in 1857, and since 1882 has
been a resident of Pepin County,
where he has surrounded himself with
friends and established large and lu-
curative practice. His experience as
a public official has been quite extern
sive and always satisfactory to his
constituents. He served one term as
a clerk of the board of supervisors,
and two terms as district attorney of
Pepin county, and in 1872 was elected
member of assembly from Dunn and
Pepin counties. Should he accept the
call to become candidate, and should
the people then elect him, we are con-
fident he will fill the high Office with
credit to himself and to the satisfaction
of the people of the district.

THE TEMPERANCE BANNER.


EDS. JouRNAL:-0n behalf of the
cold water legion of this county, bid
the friends of temperance welcome,
and write them to come and join us
in our good work. 1t will be to their
own interest. The Soldiers of Tenn
perance cannot visit and work togeth-
er too much. We belong to an or
ganization with whom hospitality can
never degenerate into vice; we Of
fer to our friends nothing that can in
fame the passions. 1t would be well,
l think, if flying squadrons of the
Temperance Army were continually
securing the country for the triple
purpose Of beating up recruits, bear
ing witness against the enemy, and
encouraging the friends of the cause
whose sphere of operation is limited
and stationary, with reports of its
progress elsewhere. We have, it is
true, many single knights-errant who
travel from place to place challeng-
ing the great evil in its stronghold,
and obtain by their eloquence, many
proselytes. But when we move in
great battalions we create a still more
powerful impression, for there are
thousands who measure the import
ance of a cause rather by its numbers
than its motives. Military companies,
FIRE companies and gymnastic associ.
ations, sporting clubs and conniyial
societies of all descriptions. frequent.
ly pay complimentary visits to theiI
confreres in all parts of the country,
and at most Of their merry meetings
wine and liquor flew freely. Why
should not our Temperance OrganiZa
tiOns exchange cOurtesies in the same
way and show to the world by theiI
example how jolly moral ref0rmer:
can be without the factetious aid oil
poisonous stimulants! Every day
societies Of one sort or another may
be seen marching through the streets
of our large cities with drums beating
and colOrs flying, but it is only now
and then that the troops of Temper
ance thus parade. We are not suffi

more influence we shall WELD. 1t il
not enough that we have able lect
urers; that we assemble only at oul
stated meetings, land that we exert our
selves to the utmost in our pri
vate capacities, 20 check intemper
ance. We ought also as frequently a
is compatible with our business in
terests to show ourselves in masses
and prove to the world that we ar,

THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

EDS. JOURNAL As free American
citizen, a resident of one Of the
woods towns of Pierce county, and
one who is permitted to pay taxes, l
am watching with no slight degree of
interest the operations of ''class''
arrangement by which the lawyers of
this Circuit are attempting to foist
upon the people their candidate for
Office of Circuit Judge-as though the
tiller of the soil, the industrious me-
chamc and the common taxpayer
were not capable of exercising their
Constitutional privilege of judging as
10 the qualifications requisite for a
proper discharge of the duties of said
office. While the toiling masses may
not have quite as much time to ''read
up" as a briefless attorney, yet the
people in this Circuit, as rule, are
Iuite well informed, and my observa-
lions lead me to believe that they, as
witnesses, Jurors and clients, have OPP
pOrtunities for obtaining ideas rela-
tive to Circuit Court matters of which
they may feel competent to avail
themselves in the selection of Circuit
Judge. The people owe it to them
selves to at once teach members Of the
legal profession that they have over
stepped the bounds of prOpuety, and
should gently remind them that their
course is contrary to the spirit of our
free institutions, by defeating their
pet candidate at the polls on election
day. PLEBEIAS.

this class of farmers conclude to dis.

full that this expense may, with pro-
priety, be abated.
If, as you say, fence money at in

would other moneys, and at this view
it might amaze theorist to learn
that | used pair of ox-bows twenty
five years ago, that cost dollar, be-

cannot afford to sit idly down,-sus-

Rev. 5. W. HOrner, who spent two
weeks last winter in Pittsburg, Pa,
in attendance upon the meetings I'M
der the lead of Francis Murphy, the
greatest temperance orator and reviv-
alist of the age, has prepared a lect-
ure embOdying the leading incidents
Of his experience during that time,
which he will deliver, if desired, be-
fore Lyceums, Good Templars Lodges,
and other bodies. Unlike most efforts
in this line, we can say, after hearing
it. that it is lecture Of thrilling in
terest, and that no audience can
fail to be both entertained and prof
tied in hearing it. We believe that it
is, as he delivers it, fully equal to his
lecture on Robert Burns, which has al
ways met with a warm reception. All
who have heard it, agree with us.
