THE Hudson Star and Times portrays
an encouraging outlook concerning
railroad management i'll this portion
of the State and from the general tone
of an article which recently appeared
in that paper we incline to the belief
that President Porter, of the c., st. P.
& NJ. railroad is about the sort of man
required by the interests of railroads
in Northwest Wisconsin, and of the
people who have occasion to transact
business with such corporations. Mr..
Porter's connection with the North
Wisconsin evidently marks a new era
i'll the history of that corporation and
we doubt not that that road will be
still more rapidly pushed towards
Lake Superior under his leadership;
he is quoted as having said, in sub
stance, that he wanted the country
along the line of the North Wis
consin settled up and that TIE price of
lands and terms of sale should be SO
fixed as to induce settlers to occupy
the same, and that he wanted the peo-
pie to feel friendly towards the rail
roads, pledging himself to do all that
he could to deserve their good will.
This is as it should be and we are glad
to chronicle the expression of such a
sentiment by one of the prominent
railway officials of the Northwest.

or any other legitimate purpose and
receive that attention to which he is
justly entitled, and finally he should be
a vigilant, untiring worker who will
labor earnestly and zealously to pro-
mote the best interests of a common
people. Such IA man we believe Hon.
e. w. Reyes to be. He has been a
consistent Republican since the for
nation of the Republican party, and
during the past eighteen years espec-
tally prominent as one of the trusted
leaders in that organization; by reason
of his position for number of years
as Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee he was one of the
particular objects of attack by the OPP
position press and while many Repub-
llcans Iii nigl places nave Deen reC1red
in disgrace the worst that the opposi-
ton in its intense hatred could say
against him was to dub him ''the
Boss" because of his shrewdness and
activity in The performance of his du-
ties in planning and organizing Re-
publican campaigns. While Mr..
Keyes' enemies talk profusely in a
general way about his corrupt prac-
tices they DO not charge him with dis
honesty or with being addicted to hall
its of intemperarce or immortality; |
they also fail to show that he has ever |
been derelict in his duty as a public |
officer, or that he has ever perverted |
the political influence attributed to
him by securing the advancement of
any unworthy or incompetent person.
Mr.. Reyes is a sound Republican, and
an earnest supporter of the principles
of honest money; while he lays no
claim to the eloquence that distin-
cuisines Mr.. Carpenter, he is an enter
tanning, forcible and convincing speak |
er; he is energetic and persevering-
push being one of his peculiar char
acteristics; he is one of those positive, |
aggressive fellows whose support the |

the rebels of the South may not virtual |
ly control both Houses of Congress, he |
will have ne Supreme Court practice |

SOUTHERN ELECTION FRAUDS.

The Democratic press of the South
very generally justifies the outrageous
tissue ballot election frauds perpetrated
by the Democrats of the South at the
late elections held there, while the
Democratic papers of the North have
not the moral courage to condemn the
same. Senator Blaine, on Wednesday
of last week, introduced in the Senate
Il resolution for the investigation of
these alleged frauds and in doing so
took occasion to make mastery
speech upon the Southern situation so
far as elections and representation III
Congress are concerned. Though his
speech lacked that bitterness which
usually characteriZes the utterances of
the Maine Senator when he is aroused
upon questions affecting the status Of
eX-rebels, he incurred the displeasure
of those Democratic statesmen Thur
man and Lamar. Mr.. Blaine repealed
any imputation of a desire to wave
Gllt -DIOOuy SIlll Ctuu CetlItiY ldlu
down the issue in the following words:
"Whether the white voter of the
North shall be equal to the white voter
of the South in shaping the policy and
fixing the destiny of this country; or
whether, to put it still more boldly,
the white man who fought in the
ranks of the Union Army shall have as
weighty and influential vote i'll the
Government of the Republic as the
white man who fought in the ranks of
the rebel army.
Thurman offered an amendment to
Blaine's resolution including alleged
election frauds North as we'll as South,
and was much disconnected by Blaine S

amendment, as he had hoped that the
force of Blaine's remarks would be
broken by his refusal to accept the
amendment proposed. Mr.. Blaine

lent points of attack from Lamar and

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR
SHIP,

Among the graver responsibilities
that will rest upon the Wisconsin Leg
islature of 1879, is the election of Il
United States Senator for the full term
of six years from the fourth day of
March next. There is a very general
feeling that Hon. L. o. Howe, who at
the expiration of his present term
will have served this state in the
United States Senate for the period of
eighteen years, has attained that ripe
old age at which he should be placed
upon the retired list, giving place to a
younger and more vigorous successor,
which being the case that gentleman $
ambition for fourth term does notre-
ceiye serious consideration outside his
train of personal adherents. With
Senator Howe practically out of the
contest so far as the public is concern
ed, the most conspicuous candidates
for this position are Hon. E. W. Reyes,
of Madison, and Hon. Matthew I'll. Car
penter, of Milwaukee, and the indi-
cations now are that one or the other
of these gentlemen will be chosen.
While we readily concede all that
the most ardent admirers of Mr.. Car
penter can claim for that gentleman
as an eloquent and brilliant speaker,
we harbor the opinion that he does
not stand head and shoulders above
all others in those essential character
iStios which onmhina TO make the
most useful and valuable United States
Senators. Mr.. Carpenter justly prides
himself upon his brilliant oratorical
powers, and to his possession of this
rare gift of oratory more than any
thing ever accomplished by him for
the State of Wisconsin is due the
prominence which she attained while
he was her representative in the Sen
ate. There was no expression OF pub
lie sentiment in Pierce county favora-
BILE to the election of Mr.. Carpenter
to the Senate ten years ago when he
first became a candidate for that po-
sition, and his GAINESVILLE speech pend
ing the campaign of four years ago
when he was a candidate for re-elec-
ton, IN which he championed that OBJ
noxious measure known as the back
pay grab and attempted to justify his
position thereon, was not very well
calculated to enkindle at that time a
public sentiment here in his favor; we
feel warranted in saying, also, that
since that time he has done nothing to
Justify change of adverse public
opinion to a sentiment that would now
favor his election to the Senate.
The man chosen to succeed Howe III
the United States Senate should be one
whose fealty to the Republican party
has never been questioned; one who
is fully and entirely committed to the
principles of honest money; one whose
keenneSs of diseernment will enable
him to perceive what would be for the
best interests of the State and Nation
the ability to set forth his convictions
in proper manner ana the energy

DIPHTHERIA.
BY DIR. { NJ. DAVIS.


Diphtheria is properly classed as a
filth disease, which gives evidence of
blood poisoning, from albuminoid or
animal virus, evolved in the process
of animal decomposition.
This animal decay, is caused by
microscopic animals or fungi, which
are called Bacteria. They do not float
in pure atmosphere, but are spread by
contact.
In the decomposition of animal sub
sta noes there are two poisonous gases
eliminated, viz: carboaic o.ride and
suiphuretted hydrogen. The latter is
very foetid, and both deadly poisons;
these and other carnations from filth
Inslae anu aroumu hansfatinns are The
cause of the blood poisoning in diph-
iberia, which prostrates the vital sys-
tenn and favors the Judgement of the
bacteria, upon the tonsils and about
the fauces or throat. where they find
a home in the parts that are in semi
vitalized condition. 1t is not an epi-
demic, but sporddicdt disease. Every
family afflicted with it has the remote
or exciting cause on their premises,
because it is emphatically a filth dis
ease. Families that would consider
themselves scandalized at the sugges-
tion of untidiness, are attacked, while
others OF filthy surroundings escape.
This simply shows that our sense of
cleanliness needs cultivation, so that
we may discriminate between what
is offensive to the system, and what is
offensive to our falsely educated tastes.
Many housekeepers exhibit an air of
neatness inside their dwellings, while
at the same time the cellar lacks
drain. and you find Kitchen cesspool,
a badly conducted cuisine and other
offensive surroundings which make up
the bill of fare for diphtheria, mem
branous Group, and typhoid fever.
When the bacteria or fungi appear
in white patches on the throat the
patients should be placed in a room
with free ventilation, curtains raised,
no visible steam or vapor, and sufficient
warmth to make them comfortable,
with a light vegetable diet.
The most effective remedies are
those which are most destructive to
the bacteria. and are harmless when
used. Chlorine, i'll some form, is the
safest. Chlorine water and Hydro
chloric Tinoture Iron are my favorite
remedies.
AS many schools are liable to be
broken up by diphtheria, we requested
DR.. Davis to write an article on its
prevention and cure. He has our
thanks. III. S. j.

TRUTH VS.. FICTION.
Read before the Library association at
RiUer Falls, Nor. 2, 1873, by
Lucy L. Uitcor.

Let not the books of a reader of
fiction be replaced by works of pure
science and philosophy, or he then
will req ! nothing. But exchange
Reade and Mrs. Holmes for writer's of
a better class. Dickens and Thackeray
are well calculated to minister to a
mind diseased. The former, while
pointing out to us the laughable lido
Syncrasies of those specimens of the
human Various with whom we
daily come in contact, teaches us to
regard their failings with consistent
charity. While in his combat against
hypocrisy and wrong, Thackeray's
shafts of satire are formed of truths
that strike home to every heart. Both
Of these writer's do away with that
false sentiment instilled by the aver
age novel, using fiction as a vehicle to
convey many practical suggestions.
Fiction 'to Hugo" is a background
against which to bring out his wierd
fancies, vivid descriptions and subtle
reasoning. While Shakespeare makes
his fictitious characters speak more
truths than the average biography.
From an acquaintance with the authors
just mentioned, the novel reader may
learn to recognize and admire what
is best in literature; seeking further
he will gain a love of truth in the
abstract, thus enabling his intellect to
progress in its own strength; freed
from the bonds of fiction.
Mulbach's historical novels, though
by some people regarded as highly in
structive, contain fictitious passages
which to an unprecedented reader ap-
pear simply ridiculous, and the time
spent in comprehending their useless
portions would allow one much I'M
provement if devoted to undiluted
history.
Reade and Wilkie Collins are as in
sidiously working evil as any novelist,
high OF low. Their plots are danger
ously interesting, and Reade, frequent
Iy oyer-stepping the bounds of moral
ity, teaches a hollow, worldly wisdom
which renders his readers cynical
teaching them to distrust the best mo-
tives of their fellow beings and even
of themselves. Collins works are
highly dramatic, and both make us
feel that no one is responsible for his
acts. The so-called wicked being as
worthy as the so-called good. AS this
is dangerous sophistry to be indulg-
ed by those who are beginning life, il
may be seen that Mrs. Holmes imbe-
Giles are more harmless that Reade +
reprobates.
Ranking high as American authors
are Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Mrs.
Whitney, Mrs. Stowe and Louisa III
Alcott. While the novels of the first
are highly religious in tone, they are
tinged with an unnatural sadness tend.
ing to produce a passive dependency
which is not conducive to that cheer
full effort required from the teacher
Mrs. Stowe and Mrs. Whitney are moi
Improbable reading if one has bound
less leisure; but Mrs. Alcott Is vel
adapted to our recreation and improve
ment as teachers. Her Little Men
afford us particularly fair types of th'
schoolboy, and from many of her nat
ural stories we may obtain hints tina

TIE Washington correspondents,
for the want of something more inter-

vacancy is about to occur in Hayes
Cabinet. Attorney General Devans is
the latest object of their propensity
for news-gathering and it is now an
nounced that he will not retire from

hopes of President Hayes is to retain
the Cabinet first chosen by him until

which would be in striking contrast
