or chews sauerkraut, haggis or Limburger,
but we have a warm side for him and don't
want him tangled up.
That ponderous Potter Power press
which awhile ago printed a paper called the
AdSocdte in Lancaster, which paper was to
trample the HERALD into dust and which was
to be the Thunderer or something else of the
Great West at the second Centennial OF this

other day pulled down piece-meal and carried
away to Mineral Point, where it is to be set
up, fixed and oiled up for running Mineral
Point Democrats. 1t is good press but it is
a heavy concern.

A law suit once acquired notoriety in this
country because Of the difference in opinion
between Judge Mills and our Wisconsin SUI

consideration in suit in England in Court Of
Queens Bench
E. A. Calkins, long and widely known in
years past as a Democratic editor at Madison,
has started a literary Sunday Weekly paper at
Milwaukee. No man in Wisconsin has ability
to conduct such paper superior to his, but
we doubt his ability to run a paper great
while without getting his finger into politics.
