REPUBICANs of Pierce county, the
representatives of your party in State
Convention assembled, nominated a
ticket which has proven unassailable;
a ticket composed of men whose re-
spective characters for integrity. ca
pacity, loyalty and personal worth
have not and cannot be impeached;
nominated by your own representa-
tlves without any dictation whatever
from federal or corrupt influences.
The nomination of such "a ticket by
the rank and file of the party is an en-
couraging tendency. and a manifest
purpose of the party to purge itself
of the impurities by which it has
heretofore been affected. What more
can be desired by those seeking re-
forml The ticket presented, merits
and should receive your hearty, UNI
divided support. Strive to show your
appreciation of the compliment paid
to Pierce county in the nomination of
II. B. Warner by giving the whole Re-
publican ticket every vote in the
county.

BEFORE another issue of the JOURNAL
the election for State and legislative
officers will take place. The issues
involved are we'll known to our read
ers. The Democrats who, two years
ago, viewed the financial question
fIom the same standpoint the Repub-
licans did, carried away by the APP
parent popularity of the greenback
movement, have changed front and are
now advocating the retirement OF gov
eminent bonds and the substitution of
greenbacks a proposition which, as
expounded by smooth and oily-tongued
demagogues, is finding many willing
ears, and will result in the election OF
the Democratic State ticket, unless
Republicans everywhere are on their
guard. Admitting that State officers
have nothing to do with the shaping
of the financial question, Republicans
cannot afford to throw the prestige of
a victory INTO the hands of their OPP
moments. We call, then, upon all who
are in favor of the pursuance of an
honest policy on the part of the gov
ernment--whether they call them
selves Republicans or Democrats, 10
cast their ballots for the Republican
nominees for State officers.

THE Southern Democrats IN Con-
gress cannot repress their inclination
to labor for the ''lost cause, and have
already manifested desire to pro-
cure legislation particularly favorable
to those who fought in the Confeder-
ate armies, and against those brave
Union soldiers who braved every peril
that their country might live. A bill
has been introduced by Southern
Democrat to repeal the restriction
against paying pensions to those who
sought the overthrow of the nation.
The passage of this bill with legisla-
ton which would inevitably follow
would open the national treasury to
thousands of rebel pensioners, and
with the allowance of Southern claims
which would thus be made possible in
one form or another. ournational debt
would be UNNECESSARILY increased, and
the Government of the United States
thus compelled to pay those who
sought its overthrow for their treas
enable and bloody work

RHETORICAL EXERCISES.
BY NJ. J. BAIRD.

Have these beginners each write
a descriptive one upon some subject
which he is familiar with. If
they think they cannot write any
thing, ask them questions upon their
respective subjects, and have them
answer you in writing upon paper. In
this manner they will soon be able to
ask their own questions, as well as an
swer. In correcting the writings
of these beginners, | should mark
all words spelled incorrectly and have
them found and learned afterwards; al
so teach them when they commence to
write about anything to start the first
word with capital, and when they
finish writing about this thing place a
period there. As they advance in
their work, be more particular in your
corrections. Scholars who study
grammar should have their writings
corrected as far as they are advanced
in this study.
Most scholars seem to have a dread
of anything in the line of these exer-
cises at first and | have found it a
good plan to have variety each time
in order to make it interesting. Also
introduce some parliamentary rules
during these exercises, as they
seem to take great interest in that,
besides getting some ideas as to
managing meeting.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

At the general election to be held
next Tuesday, two proposed amend
ments to the State Constitution will
be submitted to the qualified electors
of Wisconsin, for their approval or re-
lection. The one to which public at
tention has been most prominently
directed is that increasing the num-
her of Associate Justices of the SUI
preme Court from two to four. The
law, constituting our Supreme Court as
it now is. was enacted at an early day
when the duties of that body were
limited, and answered every require
ment for time; but the later develop
ments Of the vast resources of our
common wealth, and consequent in
crease of population and business in
terests has rendered the duties devolv-
ing upon the highest judicial tribunal
of the State too great and arduous TO
enable the present number of Justices
to dispose of the great volume of bust
ness brought before it with that
promptness and care which it should
receive: hence it would seem eminent
" proper TO increase the number of
Associate Justices to four. All pro-
posed constitutional amendments
must pass the gauntlet of two regular
legislative sessions before being sub
mitted to a vote of the people. and
having stood this test it is safe as
rule for the people TO approve them.
While the other proposed amendment.
if adopted, can do no harm, its adop-
tion will be a frank admission on the
part of the people that legislatures are
not to he implicitly relied upon to
withstand the persistent demands of
dishonest claimants. Our idea of the
proper way to dispose of "claims'
against the State is to pap them ac-
cording to contract. taking a receipt
for the same and preserving it as a
voucher showing payment, and then
entertain no demands on bills or ac-
counts which have once been paid
On tickets furnished by the Journal
Office. ballots favoring the amendments
have been printed, which by slight
AID intelligent use of the pencil can
be transformed into ballots opposing
either or both Of them, for th use OF
those, who may wish to - against
their adoption.

WE are surprised that any intelli-
gent. thinking Republican who dur
ing the last sixteen years sustained
the Government in its hour of peril,
and who believes in the perpetuation
of those glorious principles for which
so much blood and treasure were sac
rificed, should so far forget the great
good the Republican party has accom-
plished as TO aid in its overthrow, and
the elevation to power of the Demo-
cratic party whose career for years re-
ceiyed their unqualified condemnation.
The greenback theory as generally I'M
derstoOd is not only impracticable but
at variance with the plighted faith of
the nation; and no one who values the
honor and credit of the government
under which he lives. If informed as
he should be, can consistently adyo-
cate the unlimited issue of greenbacks
with no provision whatever for their
redemption. While we are aware that
MANY Republicans have become diSSat-
islied with some measures which have
been attributed TO the Republican par

Judging the future of that party by

lican. '.we'Te not going TO vote the
Democratic ticket. we're greenback-

vote IN other States for candidates of
minor parties composed ostensibly of
Democrats and Republicans shows
that the bulk of the former on electior
day march up to the polls and vote
| the Democratic ticket pure and
straight. while the latter. true to their

The elevation of Fernando Wood,
one of the most VIGOROUSLY unscrupu-
lOus and corrupt men in the country,
to the leadership of the House, is evil
dence enough that the Democratic
promises of reform are fiimsy pretexts
to ride into power. No lasting reform
can be expected from the Democrats.
Hence, vote for the nominees of the
Republican party.

From the very nature of the case
every Republican who votes the Green
back ticket next Tuesday gives half a
vote for the Democratic ticket, the
standard-bearer of which party in
Wisconsin during the war denounced
the government in the most violent
terms for struggling to save itself
from destruction.

REMEMBER that the Senator from this
district is to cast vote for U. S. Sem

LESSONS FROM THE ExAMINA-
TON.

A great improvement is visible IN
history, throughout the county. Or
thoepy, Constitutions! local geography
and theoretical penmanship, receive
all the attention, comparatively
which they deserve. Physiology is
gaining ground and taking practical
turn. Correct ideas of theory and
practice are very general and faI
ahead of what was noticed eighteen
months ago. Correct ideas of either
the theory or practice of reading, are
rarely found. We would urge dill
gent study of the fundamental ideas OF
reading. from emphasis onward.
Practice reading aloud. 1t is proba-
bly, the best exercise known. In
cases in which the rules are known
the applicant does not always show SO
much excellence in practice as one
would expect. The reading is too
lifeless, and the important words are
not made sufficiently emphatic.
But in mental arithmetic a very
startling deficiency is seen. There
seems to be an inability to hold the
mind to problem, until the condi-
tions are understood and also much
looseness in analysis. "Therefores .
were assumed to follow from certain
premises and conditions, when they
did not. We ask attention to the
questions used, and in general to the
study of analysis. The average stand
ing of the applicants at River Falls,
upon scale of 10 was So upon the
following questions:
