Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1878-12-12

BY this time our old friend Joseph Hen,
trich is supposed to be on his way to become
a citizen of Viola. Oregon. Mr., Heinrich has
been in Grant County over 90 years. He is a
German, Catholic Republican. His first la
bors in this county were at farming and min,
! ing. Mining brought him not lead but rheu
matism. lie became disabled for hard work
and gave years steady application 20 books
and became a teacher. The children that
had been his schoolmates became his scholars
| He could barely read in a 4th McGuffey's read
er and could not write his name in English.
The many branches required by the laws Of
Wisconsin, be taught by qualified teacher
looked to him, as he expressed it, "like a
boundess ocean," He learned, however, BY
! hard work and perseverance to surmount the
difficulties in his way. For eleven or twelve
years most of the time in the same district he
taught the public school with honor and credit
10 later years he has given his time to bee cul-
| ture, business for which his talents are Pc
culiarlY adapted. In this business he has
made some discoveries not known in books
| by old professionals. Like other children of
Adam friend Heinrich has those faings
which made him some enemies, but there are
not many. If hard work and good, earnest,
honest soul go for anything the world owes
Joseph Heinrich an easy living the remains
der of his days ard we hope he will get it in
Oregon.
Lancaster seems to be in some danger of
losing its character tor heightened morality
and propriety. The temperance lecture last
Sunday evening was disturbed by number of
boys, some of whom belong to highly respec-
table families, in a manner insulting to the
speaker and xtiemely annoying to the decent
part of the audience. This was not the first
time that these meetings have been thus dis
turbed. OF course such conduct is equally
reprehensible, whether you sympa' hse with
the speaker and his theme or not. Whether
man advocates religion, temperance, rails
roads, greenbacks, woman suffrage or what
not, he is entitled to a respectful hearing from
all who remain in the audience IL one can
not listen with composure, he always has the
right of quietly Withdrawing from any assem-
bly,. Let those in authority see to it that the
boys of this tow grow up gentlemen and not
hoodlums

We copy elsewhere strong and plainly
worded article from THE GRANT COUNTY HER
AID, on the subject of the Wisconsin Senator
ship. The HERALD is one of the leading and
substantial Republican journals of the State
and its utterances on this important question
should be well considered. 1t speaks for the
people without stopping TO ask the opinion of
politicians and fearlessly advocates what it
believes to be right. Crosse Republican
and Leader.
