Wisconsin Lumber Prospects.

The channel of the Chippewa is open,
the roads are dry and dusty, no snow
is visible, and the general appearance
of things would lead one to suppose
that we had entered on the last half of
April; in fact, the weather is really
pleasanter than we usually get in that
month. Of course this interferes very
materially with the work of the Ioggers
in the woods. Messrs. Knapp, Stout
& Co, of Menomonee, will probably
get 25,0OU,OOO to 100000 feet
banked, even if there shoull be no
more snow. This is less than half of
what they usually cut. The Eau
Claire Lumber Company have banked
on short hauls some 100000 to s.
10000 feet. Messrs Ingram, Ken
nedy & Cos camp have got in 5,OOO,-
900 to 100000 feet by dint of hard,
persevering work. the Badger State
Company have banked 100000 feet.
The Valley Lumber Company have al
ready banked over 100000 feet.
The outlook at present would indicate
shortage at the close of the season of
seventy to eighty per cent. of the
usual cut.

A Lame Defence.

The Democrats defence of Mr.. Finn
last week, though weak and tame, was
probably the best that can be offered.
The Democrat doubtless feels bligated
to stand by Finn and the Board of
Street Commits sioners-both being
Democratic institutions-and we adj
nit that the necessities of the case are
such as to make the Democrats action
meritorious on the score Of fidelity to
party to say the least. But we cannot
saw SO much for its discretion. Cor
tainly there never was greater need of
explanations and apologies in any case
than exists in that of Finn and the
Board with reference to their treat
ment of the city debt Finn has been
upon all sides of every proposition that
has been made. He has been in favor
of settlement, and opposed to one.
At one time he has been in favor Of
paying something, and then he became
rank repudiationist. He aided in
the passage of law authorizing the
exchange Of bonds, and then against
the wishes of large majority Of the
people here, had the law repealed.
IS mayor he signed some bonds issued
In compromise OF the debt, and then in
the Council voted to repudiate the in
terest on the same when it became due.
He declared last fall in favor a general
settlement on the five per cent. plan,
as it is called, when taoo.thrls of the
bonds were registered, and now does
not propose to settle until the holders
sfaN the bonds shall signify their &C
ssptance of the proposed terms. Not
withstanding all this, and more which
might be stated had we space to devote
70 the subject, the Democrat would
Try aud deceive the public into believ-
ing that Finn has been straight for
ward throughout. 1t is uphill bust
ness, neighbor, and the better way for
you is to remain sieat and prevent, if
possible, any further exposure of Films
double dealing and hypocrisy.

The New Orleans COliectOrShip.

A Washington dispatch says: at
is ascertained that it is not the purpose
Of the President or Secretary Sherman
to suspend General Anderson from his
office Of Deputy Collector, at the port
Of New Orleans, on account Of bis con-
viction by the State court for his al
hged acts as member of the louisa
IA Returning Board, regarding the
prosecution of Anderson as political
persecution, and not inspired in the
interest of justice or continued peace
and tranquility. The Administration
propose to show their belief in his in
neeence by continuing him as FEEDER
al officer, Notwithstanding his incarcer-
ssion in Jail prevents him from attend
ing to the duties of the Office. The
office of Collector being vacant, and
there being no person in Office author
lied to perform the duties on account
of the absence of Anderson, Secretary
Sherman has ordered special agent of
the Treasury to take charge Of the Of
fee and perform the duties of Collector
until one is duly appointed and quail
fed" The Presidents action in this
matter is eminently sound and will re-
eeive the hearty endorsement of every
friend Of fair play. The persecution
Of General Anderson and the other
members of the Returning Board is
simply infamous, aud we are glad to
know is heartily condemned by the
better class OF Democrats in the South.
Ii they have sympathizsd with it at any
time, they are now becoming ashamed
Of it, finding it boomerang" which
damages them more than anyone else.

That Revision.

So far as heard from, no steps have
been taken by our Board of Street
Commissioners against the passage OF
Sec 929 of the proposed revision of the
laws. This is a vital matter to Water
town, but perhaps the Board does not
so regard it. We are satisfied the
measure can be defeated; at least that
it can be shorn Of its Objectionable fea.
lures if proper attention is given the
subject. A slight amendment, making
the provision apply to judgments rem
dcred on contracts hereafter made is
all that would be required to leave our
present status undisturbed, and this,
we are satisfied, can easily be procured
on proper presentation of the case to
the committee having the revision in
charge. The section, amended as sug-
gested, deprives the bondholders of no
rights which they now enjoy, but
leaves them precisely where the revis-
ers found them; and this is as it should
be. The same rule should apply to the
other side, and the rights of Water
town, as guaranteed by existing laws,
should be left intact, equally with the
bondholders. We do not believe there
is any disposition on the part Of the
legislature to permit the creditors Of
Watertown to confscate all its property
and this is precisely what sect. 929
as it stands now would do. A stand
ing offer Of is cents, cash, has been
made the bondholders for their bonds,
and all that have been offered at that
price have been taken. This is rea.
sonable compromise, and is all that
Watertown can afford to pay. A set
Element of the debt at 100 cents on the
dollar means the financial ruin of the
city, and is simply impossible. We do
not believe it is the policy of the state
to destroy Watertown absolutely, by
the enactment of any such sweeping
provision as has been incorporated in
the revision through the instrumental
ity of an attorney Of the bondholders
who is likewise acting in the capacity
of reviser. We submit that it is I'm
fair for him to seek to collect his
judgments by any such method and
thus open the way to the destruction of
our fair city. All we ask of the legis-
lature is to protect the city in its rights
as guaranteed by laws as they now stand
and see that they are not stolen from
us by grasping Shylocks. We suggest
to the Board of Street Commissioners.
however, that if no interest is taken in
the matter by the city, and no effort
made to defeat the pending proposition,
it is almost certain to prevail.

A COOP IDEA.-Among the

association with paid-up capital OF

by the company is to receive 100 acres

mortgage to secure repayment. Gen

The Louisville Commercial thinks
that if Congressman Smalls of South
Carolina is to suffer for taking brides
there are scores Of other men in that
state who ought to be brought to JUS
tice for the same offence. 1t some
how is singular that since Wade Hamp-
ton became Governor, all the political
prosecutions have been at the expense
of Republicans. No one believes that
all the offences are committed by one
political party; but the action of
Hampton and his crowd seems to in
dictate that the Democrats in that state
are as pure as angels, and have never,
done any wrong.

SOME of the newspapers down South
object to "Lincoln," "Seward." and
other names of distinguished Northern
men which since the war have been
given to counties there, and want them
changed. We presume this is one of
the proofs of their RECONCILIATION" Of
which we have heard so much. But
the editor of the Natchez (Miss. J DEM
ocrat is not in sympathy with the hostile
feeling so general there, and in oppos-
ing the proposed change of the name
of Lincoln county in that state, says:
"Let the name be suffered to remain,
as an evidence of the admiration of
Mississippians for the noble character
Of generous foe, and as a token of
the gratitude eff Mississippians for the
good intentions he evinced at the close
Of the war, and which, but for his as
sassination, he would have in gener-
Gus spirit executed"

The Bland Silver Bill.

The Senate, after an all night ses-
sion, came to a vote on the silver bill
last Saturday morning, and passed it by
a vote of As ayes to Fl nays. The bill
as it passed the House, is somewhat
modified In certain respects, but the
amendments will doubtless be concurred
in. The changes spoken Of give the
Government the benefit Cor seignorage)
of the coinage; limit the coinage of sill
yer dollars to 100000 a month;
make an exception to the legal-tender
power of the new coin to pay debts
which are expressly stipulated in the
contract to be payable III other curren-
cy; provide for the issue Of silver coin
certificates to the depositors of silver
bullion in the United States Treasury
or the Sub-Treasuries, to the amount
of $40 and upwards, said certificates to
be full legal tender, and propose the
appointment Of an international Com
mission for the establishment of dou-
BILE coin standard. 1t is believed that
the President will give the bill his APP
prevail The indications are that it
will be passed over his veto, if he
should withhold his signature. It is a
relief to know that the matter is in a
fair way of being soon disposed of, and
we hope the expectations of the advo-
Gates of the measure will be realized to
the fullest extent, as regards its results.
THERE seems to be no alternative
for Doorkeeper Polk, Of the Dem ocrat-
ic House of Representatives. except to
initiate the example of his predecessor,
Fitzhugb, who was ga bigger man nor
old Grant," and resign. Proofs of his
crookedness loom up in huge propor-
tions, and are Of such nature that he
will be removed if he does not abdicate
on his own motion. The evidence
shows an entire disregard for the laws
or rules Of the House on his part; and
instead of attending to the duties of his
Office, he was engaged in lobbying for
certain interests which were seeking
legislation from Congress. The testi-
mony of his unftness for the place held
by him is so overwhelming as to pre-
clude any attempt on the part of his
party associates to retain him as an Of
fcer of the House.

SENATOR THURMAN, of Ohio, and
Ex-Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, have
recently ''fopped' on the financial
qestion in order to be on what they
deem the popular side. The New
York Nation, in commenting on the
fact, says these two Democratic states
men, aspiring to the Presidency, "seem
to be running race with each other in
demogogy and tergiversation," and
that "either of them is apparently
ready to say anything to be on the side
of the majority, AID both of them will
soon have changed opinions so often as
to endanger their sense Of personal
Identity" This seems to be a fair
statement of the case.

1t is hecause they have never read a

scattered over territory fourteen
times the area Of France, SO much
more alive and modern so much more
interested in new discoveries Of al
kinds, and capable of selecting and
